Chapter 1628 Training Sam and his friends roamed around as they hunted and practiced.
All of them are looking for ways to increase their strength and breakthrough.
Sam is trying to break through to the Astral Plane Consummation. As for the remaining three, they are trying to reach the peak first.
It will be hard the fight against the three young masters much less the old man that is above all of them if they at least didn't have this much strength.
The three young masters are already in the consummate stage and it will be hard even if the trio reached the peak stage.
But Sam has something else in mind. He wanted to try a very different trinket that he prepared especially for a situation like this.
And he is going to use one of the tools that he hasn't used for a really long time.
After one week of roaming around, they finally camped at a spot and all four of them attempted a breakthrough at the same time.
The breakthrough didn't take long. With the excessive energy of high-level beasts they are taking in, it was smooth sailing to say the least.
Now, that they are done with this, the next challenge is the real one.
"So, how are you going to attack the Divine formation mountain? You didn't explain this in the plan until now."
Philip as he placed a gourd of some special wine on the campfire to warm it up slightly. The light is slightly cold and the campfire is warm. Even though they couldn't be affected by these sensations too much because of their level, it felt pretty relaxing for some reason.
"I said I have been working on something and it seems like there are finally some results. I just want to test it out on you guys before we can proceed."
"What are we waiting for? Let's try it out then."
"Not now, let's wait until morning."
That night they just spent most of the time relaxing. For the first time in a while, Sam is feeling a bit anxious. Because this time, the opponents are tricky and powerful in a different way. He was like that and that is how he defeated all of his enemies until now.
He found their weaknesses; he used the technology to find a way to bypass all of the differences in terms of strength. He played around with their emotions and lured them into traps that they cannot escape.
He made them feel despair by wearing them out bit by bit. But now the situation is different. His opponents are also used to doing all the tricks he did just now.
On top of that, the mountain master who is already way too powerful than him is also used to doing these tricks.
From what the Demon Soul swordsman said, he is one of the trickiest individuals and his tricks and methods might even be more pathetic than Sam's own.
There is no way that Sam could not feel anxious after listening to that. It is almost a natural thing to feel that way.
That is why, he wants to find a way to level his playing field and for that, he found a way to use some of his newly learned tricks on some of the oldest equipment that he got from the Palace of Inheritance.
"What did you see exactly? Or did your brain finally give up after taking too many hits to your head?"
Watt asked curiously.
"You can see it for yourself, you silver pig."
"Who are you calling a pig? You dumb metal frog."
Watt and Philip bickered as they exchanged spots.
Sam once again fought against Watt. The battle was one-sided and soon both of them disappeared again.
When they came back, Watt also had a stunning look. Of course, his reaction is not as intense as Philip's.
In fact, along with the shock, there is a lot of excitement in those eyes.
"Oh my god. You finally did it. I was wondering when you are going to do it. You finally did it."
He hugged Sam in excitement. Sam smiled and said.
"You are way too excited for a guy who just go his ass kicked."
"It's not the first time that I got my ass-kicked. What's new about it?"
Watt just brushed off the comment and then let Jack take the spot. Jack had a much calmer reaction than the other two.
Philip looked at the two of them and freaked out.
"Why the fuck are your reactions so different than mine? How can that happen? Why are you not freaked out as I did? Don't you understand how massive this is? Even if the changes and tinkering he did were small, they are the start of something massive.
Are you not understanding it? Did you guys go dumb?"
"Nope, you are the dumb one here. That is why you are overreacting to such a small thing. All we did is add an additional layer to the passageway."
Sam casually said and went hunting something.
Philip didn't even know what to say.
"You guys need to train with these things. Or you would be in some really big trouble. I will be your sparring partner for the next few days, you need to be able to use this on the stronger opponents.
I don't know how strong the young masters exactly are, but I am pretty sure, it is impossible for you guys to defeat them with the level difference.
And remember, I am not gonna go easy on you. Get ready to get your ass-kicked."
All three of them exchanged a glance and shrugged. It has been a while since they trained with Sam. They are kind of looking forward to it.
