Chapter 231: Exchange
Sam and Arman exchanged glances while many other people are sighing in frustration or resignation.
The only two people who got the treasures are from the Thunder God temple's side.
Although from what Sam said, he is not directly related to the Thunder God temple and most likely belonged to an empire under them, they still believed that the treasures would belong to the thunder god temple eventually.
That is the reason these scions are a bit angry as they didn't belong to their power.
Sam sat down for a second to calm his mental state. He really did improve a lot in the past few days. Even though it is not exactly an increase in strength, it would be very useful in many other aspects when he was fighting an opponent at the same cultivation level and the fight would be even easier than it already was.
After a few more hours, the one- month period inside the Palace has finally come to an end. The candidates on all floors vanished at the same time and they appeared in a hall in which the Avatar is standing.
Sam looked at the old man and then his surroundings only to realize that he failed to see any other candidates.
He clearly knew for one that all of the vanished at the same time and he doesn't know why he was isolated.
Not only Sam, but the rest of the candidates are also feeling the same. They are also facing the avatar in the same hall at the same time without anyone around them.
As if reading his thoughts, the Avatar said.
"Don't worry, you are isolated in order to get the prizes that you deserve after this one month. You have performed exceptionally well and the first floor's five formations are cleared by you alone in the minimum time possible.
You have far exceeded the expectations we had and you have been awarded the complete blueprints of the five formations which include their variant versions from rank 1 to rank 7.
On the second floor, you again outperformed every other person in four cases. Battle awareness, Speed, Strength, and Long-Distance Tracking. You only lost and got second place in one room which belongs to the Defence category and this might have been because the attacks are of lightning category and the first prize winner is better in adapting lightning than you.
For this, you will be getting four battle techniques, which focus on the four aspects respectively, as for the second prize it is also a battle technique but it is not as profound as the first prize.
On the third floor, you are the only person who cleared the fifth room and the rest of the rooms, you are the best of all dominating every other person.
This floor's prizes are voluntary and you can select from the options which I will give you in a moment.
The prizes from the remaining three floors are obtained from those floors directly."
After finishing these words, the person waved his hand and a holographic screen appeared before him. There are many weapons, formation discs, daggers and blueprints of formations, inscription scrolls, and many more.
"You can select any five from these things, if you have any doubts, you can ask me."
Sam looked at all these and wasn't particularly interested in them. After some thought, he asked the Avatar.
"You know that I stole something from the puppets, right?"
"Yes."
"So, are they mine?"
"Of course, if they are not yours, you wouldn't have been able to bring them out, you fought directly and they are your spoils of battle."
"Then, can I request other types of rewards apart from these options?"
The Avatar was intrigued.
"That Depends on what you ask for."
"Since I have five prizes, I will exchange one for the appraisal of the two treasures I got from the sixth floor, I want to know how they are used and the most efficient way to use them.
As for the remaining four choices, I would like to exchange them for the equivalent amount of raw materials required for making these devices."
As Sam spoke, he took out the glowing object which he obtained from the puppet. It is actually a spherical object and it has neutral spiritual energy emitting from it.
Avatar was surprised for a bit and said with a smile.
"You really are the odd one. I never expected you would ask this.
But I want reasons.
Why do you want to exchange a prize for just appraisal, why are so sure that you won't be able to use them efficiently?"
Sam stayed silent for a second before saying.
"I have a feeling that they are not meant for me, my hunch is that they are sent to this world for someone else and I along with many other candidates are just here to make this a 'fair' way to get these treasures."
Avatar frowned for the first time.
"You seem to know a lot of things which you are not supposed to be aware of."
At these words, Sam smiled and looked at the old man with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Then only the old man realized that he fell into a trap.
That is right, Sam is laying down a trap to get more information.
After the experience inside the palace, he understood that there is a lot more information he has to know and after seeing the tattoo on the back of Arman coinciding with the symbol on the ceiling along with the statue and Arman's strange phenomenon, he has one conclusion and that is the whole Palace of Inheritance is here for Arman and that is to deliver the inheritance from that person in the image to Arman.
As for why he thought it was just to make it 'fair', it is because of the remaining tattoos he saw. They must be people who are here just like him and Arman, they are also from another world and they also experienced the Re-birth.
They are all here for a fair fight for the treasure and techniques that are sent here through the palace.
So, he shot an arrow in the dark, and who knew that it struck right on the target.
The old man just shook his head and said.
"You indeed are a person selected by Gambler, you are not to be trifled with, getting this much info just from your observations is really impressive, but I suggest you don't try to get more info now, you will know what you have to know when the time is right.
As for the exchange you wanted, if you want the whole device, you can get only one for the four prizes, but since you are asking for only raw materials you can get enough materials to make five of them.
For the appraisal. The transference scrolls are used for escaping. And the value of the scroll represents the number of times you can use them.
The scroll you have can be used three times and to have the most efficiency, you have to use a drop of your blood essence filled with the spiritual energy and it can send you a thousand kilometers away.
In the center of the scroll there would be the core rune of the scroll on which you should drop the blood and spread it towards the direction you want to head towards.
The Thunder Prison is mostly used for capturing the enemies of higher realm than yours.
If you can find the core of the prison and your mental strength is enough to manipulate it, you can change the form of the prison as you like and the possibilities are endless. For a person like you, I think the thunder prison is more than a capturing tool.
If you understand what I mean and study it properly, you would be able to do much more than the inventor of the thunder prison himself."
With those words, the Old man waved his hand and all the rewards that Sam deserved were sent towards him, Sam threw them in the storage and the old man said.
"I also added a list of the raw materials you asked for, It would save you some trouble if you are searching for them in the future.
Then there is only one last thing to do."
The Avatar, made some hand-signs and closed eyes as he chanted something.
A bright light shot out from his hands and entered Sam's consciousness all of a sudden.
Sam was stunned for a second and closed his eyes to enter his consciousness and he can see a small circular token hovering there.
"This will help you to enter the Palace of Inheritance next time, from this day onwards, every three years the Palace of inheritance will open in the same places it opened this time and the same age group of people will be given opportunities to enter this.
Apart from that, as the first batch of the people who entered, your generation will also have an access to enter every time it opened until you reach a certain age.
Of course, the tests you will face are going to be different.
You got a badge since you have that tattoo on your back and the rest who have tattoos, in the same way, will receive the badges.
Apart from that, there would be a certain number of badges which will be given to these powers which helped me gather you and they will conduct a tournament for your age group and then distribute those badges.
The badges you have are special and gain permanent access to the palace of inheritance until you reach a certain cultivation level and this is the privilege of being a person with a tattoo whom I would like to call as the acknowledged.
If an acknowledged person dies, his badge will be transferred to the person who killed him and that is only if it is a fair fight and if the other person is a far stronger opponent, the badge will do one last favor and devour that person's soul.
And that concludes every information you are entitled to and you can leave now.
With those words, Sam didn't even have a chance to speak before he appeared in front of the cave entrance where Moriya is waiting for them.
