Sam went towards where the people that passed the test would sit and sat down.
The moment he entered he suddenly felt the guy that was counted as the number one genius, start to release his ki to suppress Sam, as he did that, he said "dont think just cause you got lucky and the stone malfunctioned you are able to sit on this seat".
Under the guys pressure the surrounding people started to fall except the people who had finished in 3rd and 4th position.
Seeing this Sam started to climb up the stairs and appeared right in front of the guys face.
He looked at him for second before releasing his Qi pressure.
Unlike the other guy's qi pressure, Sam's Qi pressure had a special trait, thanks to him creating those links with his sword, his Qi pressure felt like something was cutting whoever that was under it.
The guys eyes lost light then Sam went and sat on the chair that was behind him, right after that he kicked the guy down, making him roll down the stairs.
Then Sam looked at him and said "pathetic".
The guy now had to climb up the floor and had to look at Sam looking down on him.
It was quite embarrassing.
Seeing the eyes of people on him as if they were looking down he was enraged.
He charged towards Sam and immediately tried to attack Sam with his sword.
Seeing this, Sam just sat on his chair and when he came close enough to Sam, Sam just kicked him and sent him flying across the stage.
He started to bleed internally and externally, blood start to come out of his mouth.
Suddenly a person appeared in front of the guy that Sam just kicked and immediately he fed the guy that Sam kicked a healing pill to heal him.
He then looked at Sam then said "you dare disrespect a member of our sect".
Then instantly he charged towards Sam, but sadly for him the moment he came close to Sam he felt his power decrease then immediately after that Sam's power increased by two times.
Which in Sam's case was way more than two times.
The two-times increase was equivalent to 100 increase in strength and all of his other stats and now counting the multiplier of his links that he had created with his sword his power went way beyond the bronze rank.
Previously he had a boost of 300 times and now with the two times multiplier, his power was multiplied by another 2, which put his multiplier at 600.
The 600 times multiplier to his current power immediately put him at the peak of copper rank.
This power might be quite an achievement in this empire but in the dragon empire anybody with a bit of talent is already at this stage and people with the most outstanding talent has already become a Transcendant, which made the current power that Sam held look like dust.
Sam looked at the guy that was charging towards him and immediately blocked the attack he sent towards Sam.
Sam looked at the guy that attacked him and started to roast the guy for being shameless enough to attack somebody way younger than him.
"old man, in all my life I have thought of many shameless things a person could do but this one, this one takes the number one spot".
"I don't know how you gained the confidence to attack somebody at least 100 years younger than you".
"But anyways unlike you, I like a challenge, and wouldn't mind going against somebody way older than me to feel challenged".
As he said that Sam charged towards the guy that had attacked him.
Sam started to attack him from left and right with his sword. His sword wasn't phased by the fact it was facing off against quite a rare sword.
His sword was special as it was made out of some unbreakable material and never become brittle or dull.
He had used this sword many times and any cultivator who used a sword would normally change their swords each month as the sword would develop cracks in it because of the growth in power of the wilder of the sword but this sword, seemed like as if it was becoming stronger as Sam became stronger.
It never became dull or had any cracks in it, which made Sam quite happy but what made Sam think of it as being unbreakable was the fact it could withstand spiritual qi.
Normal swords would be able to withstand spiritual qi for hours but not days, which in the case of this sword it was in Sam's spiritual Pool for almost a year without even showing Any sign of being hindered but it actually was becoming sharper and increasing its endurance.
Currently, in the fight, Sam's sword was slowly chipping away pieces of his opponent's sword until it broke in half.
When the audience saw this they were shocked and were just thinking how is this possible.
Sam stopped slashing then said," i gotta say, you should be quite happy as you are the only person that has pushed me this far".
Before Sam could say anything else the guy he was fighting started to laugh out loud.
"hahahahahah, you think I was fighting you seriously up till now, the only reason I wasn't fighting you seriously was because of the presence of the king, but I gotta handed to you, your current power is at the peak of the copper spirit rank, while being in the spirit rank but sadly for you I'm at the peak of gold spirit rank".
Suddenly a golden aura started to surround the guy, then immediately he charged towards Sam.
He appeared in front of Sam without even letting him react, the guy punched Sam in the stomach and a mouth full of blood was spat out by Sam.
Sam fell on his knees and waited for a second for the guy before disappearing and reappearing before the guy that had started all this conflict.
Sam grabbed the number one genius of this Empire then slowly started to fly up in the sky, he immediately started to yell towards the cultivator that had just totally destroyed him with one punch.
