The first thing Sam did after finishing the Phase three organizations is to try and find where the rest of the players are.
It took a whole week to do that and he went to et Arkiv.
"You ca to on your own initiative? Is sothing wrong?" This Arkiv’s greeting as soon as they t.
"I am done with the Third Phase organizations of my share. How much longer would it take for you to do it?"
Arkiv was stunned and hurriedly opened the list on the wrist screen.
He went through the list rapidly and cursed loudly.
"Fuck. Just when I thought, you slowed down. What is wrong with you, man?"
Sam didn’t mind this outburst and just smiled.
"Don’t overreact alright. I need to talk to you about this."
"Okay, tell ."
"I asked, how long would it take for you and the rest of the players to finish all this?"
Arkiv roughly calculated a bit and said.
"Maybe a year and a half or it might even take two years."
Sam thought for a mont and nodded.
"It is okay then. I have a deal for, Noah and Akhil. In the next year and a half you will be eting them once or twice, so discuss it with them. If you agree to et , co to the capital city of the first realm of the three puppet realms."
"What is the deal?"
"As you know, the fourth phase organizations are tough to deal with. There are also divided into four groups based on the cultivation of the heads of these organizations.
They are going to be difficult to deal with.
Even the Puppet which is the lowest of the organizations in Phase four is sothing difficult to deal with.
So, I want to know if you guys want to cooperate.
It is not that I cannot deal with them, but it would be easier and less dangerous for you guys to not tackle them directly.
In fact, even if we don’t make an alliance like this, we would still be hard-pressed to deal with them and since we have limited choices, we wouldn’t be able to avoid colliding with each other.
And the organizations from now are free for all. All the fourth-phase organizations are worshiping multiple gods, so there are no restrictions placed on them for the players. They could deal with any one of them.
It is inevitable to cross one another while dealing with the organizations.
We would clash and we would also clash with the organization. There is a good chance that there would be casualties this ti.
We would be safer if we have an alliance."
Arkiv thought for a mont and said.
"I will try and see. But if we make an alliance with you, your contribution will be higher and your share will also be higher. And I highly doubt that you would be satisfied with taking an equal share with us as you have such a large organization to feed."
Sam didn’t know what to say. It is indeed the case. He needs a lot of resources. Way too many, in fact. And he is sure that he would be the one making the highest contributions of them all. So there is a need to draw the line.
But it would be hard to decide who gets what at the mont.
"We can discuss it at that ti. Just think about it for now and keep it on the down-low, don’t let the other players know. And if I am not wrong, they would probably ask you guys for an alliance as well. After all, it has always been versus everybody else. And if they have the sa plans as before, tell them this ti, I wouldn’t be holding back."
With that Sam left the place and went back to desolate.
In the past eight months, the organization managed to bring the ten students he requested. They are currently waiting for him on the desolate planet.
First, he checked the reports on the progress of the construction of the Primary schools.
More than half of the schools are finished with the basic structural construction while the rest of them are done with the foundation.
After going through the report, Sam went to et with the ten students he got.
Out of ten, four of them are girls and the rest are boys.
He went through their profiles and was surprised to see the constitutions. With how large their range of search it is a little surprise for them to gather ten people with different constitutions and spiritual cores.
The first candidate’s na is Ratri. A girl. She looked haggard, to say the least. She just awakened a year ago, but she is still in the Initiation stage without any progress. The basic cultivation is not working for her and she has a different core. Even though the team couldn’t identify what her core is, they believed that she is especially based on the events that ca across surrounding her.
During her awakening when the initial surge of spiritual energy touched the surroundings, all the grass and vegetation started corroding. It is not even simple withering and dying it, they beca grey while still retaining their original shape and after touching, they simply disintegrated into powder and disappeared completely after touching.
Many people and even her parents believed that she was cursed. Whenever she tried to feel a bit of spiritual energy, whatever she touched cracked and turned grey making it disintegrated into powder.
What surprised Sam, even more, is that she belonged to the Desolate Planet. She belonged to a village and they abandoned her when they saw her destroying everything.
When the people from the Dusk organization found her, she was actually sitting in the middle of a grey patch of soil within the forest with nothing in the surroundings, from what they saw even the patch of soil turned a bit different and didn’t have the sa consistency of the soil in the surroundings.
They even brought so soil with them.
When Sam looked at her with scrutinizing gaze, she beca nervous. Since the ti of awakening, she was having a hard ti. It is really surprising for her to even live in the wilderness for such a long ti without dying with her current strength.
Sam extended his hand to place it on her head, she flinched and almost tripped backward. But all of a sudden she felt like sothing held her from falling and pushing her forwards. But when she turned back nothing was there. It was Sam who used the wind to stop her fall. He placed his hand on her head and used observation ability.
Even though there is a thod to identify the core, it is limited. People cannot directly see the core even with their spiritual sense. Generally, cores are identified with the nature of the energy it is emitting, the description of the cultivator who can see the core and all the other factors and reactions of the energy.
But Sam can see it with his observation ability.
When he observed the spiritual core, he could see dark elental energy with a grey hue.
He then took out the grey soil and tested it for a minute, before he picked up so items like rocks, branches, and leaves all of the lowest quality before placing them in front of her.
"Channel your energy into them."
She hesitated a bit, but she did it anyway.
Sam saw as all the items turned into grey dust and almost blew away with the wind, but he controlled the wind and collected them all to examine separately.
He was surprised again. All the different things are turning into the sa grey dust. There is nothing special in any of them.
He thought of sothing and looked at her, he felt like there is so change in her.
Sam took out so low-quality spiritual herbs of different elents and asked her to do the sa with them.
When she used her energy on different elental herbs, it took a long ti for her to destroy them. Initially, she beca exhausted, but as the herbs started disintegrating into grey dust, the energy in her increased. Sam could clearly sense it.
He imdiately understood what her spiritual core is.
It is a variant spiritual core of dark elental energy. Just like how shadow mice have variant cores with shadow energy, this core is of devouring energy.
The energy of this core has one simple property, it would devour any other energy and try to absorb it for its own leaving only so grey particle dust. When devouring the dark elental energy herb, even that grey dust was very small, it is like only the roots of the herb were turned into the grey dust and the rest of it disappeared into thin air.
Sam couldn’t help but smile and took out so dark elental fruit juice and gave it to her.
"Drink this first. Soone will co here and will take you to your new ho. You can take a bath and they will send so food. You can relax. You are my student now. We will start your classes tomorrow."
