Watt is in an intense battle with the Grand realm cultivators of the Beast faction, right now he is battling a Middle-stage Grand realm cultivator, the opponent is also a Wind element user and he has a Vulture type beast, in the air, Falck and the Vulture are tearing at each other.

The birds are crashing each other into the nearby trees as they started digging into each other's bodies with the talons.

Watt is having a battle of endurance with the cultivator. He is causing a lot of external injuries and didn't even bother to make vital hits.

After more than an hour-long battle, Watt completely gained an upper-hand and started pummelling the opponent. He started kicking the opponent who fell down in his face as the tooth fell out.

He did so until the opponent has fainted and walked into the residence. He took out a card similar to what he uses but there are markings just like a modern pack of playing cards and this one is a two of diamonds.

He threw the card to the wall and it impaled itself into it.

He walked out and said.

"This place is mine for now, if you want to take this back, come and beat me.

"

With those words, he left. This scenario has been happening for a few days. He battled an opponent to tooth and nail and made sure that the opponent cannot even get up and took away their residence in a bet.

He put a hundred million spirit stones as a wager and everyone is too greedy to not participate and Sanjay's intervention only made worse for the disciples rather than Watt. Because, Sanjay specifically instructed that they should entertain Watt as long as it is a fair-challenge and they have no right to reject that.

This is to keep Watt at the bay and make sure that he wouldn't try to escape or think of some suicidal ways to damage the beast faction and himself.

Every day, Watt is taking a residence and placing a card to leave a mark that it is his.

Sanjay didn't think much of it, Watt is just trying to vent his anger and since he couldn't beat Sanjay, he is taking it out on the remaining disciples and making them suffer by dragging the residences.

All he is doing is just to bring Sam to this Beast faction and learn the whole story behind it. But from the looks of it, Sam would be done for if he comes here, but he has confidence that his uncle who stays all day in the darkroom would come out and save Sam if that really happens.

After all, even his father has to think twice to talk to his uncle.

To put it bluntly, all this is to satisfy his curiosity, but the price is the grand realm cultivators who are numbered in hundreds are suffering. Watt is beating the crap out of all the Initial stage Grand realm cultivators and even some Level-4 Grand realm cultivators, which is annoying the elders, but Sanjay has enough backing that even his own father who is the faction head of the Beast faction couldn't do anything to him.

At the same time, Sam who returned to the Thunder god temple is in a meeting with Arthur.

"I need the info regarding the beast faction, as much info as you can get with your access level. I will pay the amount no matter how much it is.

"

"I will see what I can do.

" Arthur left the place with those words and came back after two hours.

Sam was surprised to see the info which only took two hours to bring back.

"How much?

" Sam asked.

"There is actually no price, it is in the core disciple library. You might not know this but the thunder god temple doesn't have allies, two of the remaining five powers are enemies and the other three are on neutral terms, and from now on we think the Beast faction is also on our enemies list.

Because of that, there is compulsory knowledge that has to be learned by all the core disciples and elders, and this beast faction record just came into the library.

Since no one is particularly enthusiastic, I just brought over the copy.

"

Sam is surprised, that the thunder god temple is meticulous.

"Okay then, ask me if you need some help,

" Sam said and sent Arthur off, before looking at the info.

It has info on all the core members of the faction. People from above the Grand realm and the Nascent stage are mostly detailed. He even found out the lady who gave him the token and she turned out to be Monica, the daughter of the one current faction head.

The worst thing is, he couldn't find any information on Sanjay apart from that he is the son of the current faction head.

He even saw the details of the three people who are killed by Philip, Jack, and Watt, and their status was left unknown as they didn't know the life and death of the trio.

After studying this, Sam went to another info which was bought from a normal trading area in the thunder god temple and that is the beast catalog near the beast faction.

This is common knowledge as it has been explored hundreds of years earlier. So, it is available for even normal internal disciples to buy.

Sam spent two days studying it. He doesn't need any details on beasts as the bestiary he had in hand has more details than this info.

All he wants to know is the type of beasts that are available for the beast faction people to get their hands on so that he can learn the beasts used for their contracts to make some preparations.

"Try your best to reach a late stage in the next nine months, if you guys want to follow me to the Beast faction.

"

Sam said to Philip and Jack, before going out.

He disappeared for more than two days and came back with an excited expression on his face.

"If you guys go to combat practice, bring some beast blood for me.

" When Sam asked this, Jack nodded, while Philip was puzzled and asked.

"Why?

"

"I need to do some farming.

" Philip had more questions than answers by this reply, but before he could voice out, Sam continued.

"By the way, everyday morning, you will be having four hours lecture. Your elemental usage has so much potential, but you are wasting it. I will teach you somethings and you can also become an artisan while you are at it.

You will be introduced to a new world of knowledge.

"

Philip became like a deflated balloon as he looked at Sam. Four hours lecture? That would be a nightmare for him.

But Sam's tone suggested that there is no room for negotiation.

Sam felt that Philip's ability is limited because of his knowledge. There is more to metals than just making spikes and maces.

So, he decided he would start teaching him about material science and focus mainly on metals along with some metallurgy and forging process and with a touch of engineering and manufacturing knowledge, Philip can become a great artisan.

Because most artisans have trouble mostly with the control over the molten or heated metal. They only have tools like hammers and tongs along with an anvil to beat the metal into shape.

But for Philip, he can just mold the metal into whatever shape he likes it to be and whatever form it should take.

Apart from that, this knowledge helps Philip in metal elemental fusion. There are many types of metals in existence, if he could manipulate the metallic nature of his fusion body into different states and replicate the properties of various materials, then he could have a great increment in battle prowess.

After all, metals exist in all forms and that includes liquids, like mercury.

As Sam is planning here, there is a meeting held in a different part of the world. A stray island to the eastern part of the planet, in a small room, three transcendence realm cultivators, and around ten pre-transcendence cultivators are talking.

The three transcendent cultivators, who took the main seats around a round table wore three black robes with different symbols on it.

One of them has fire, one of them has a tornado symbol and the last one has rock symbols embroidered on his chest.

There is an empty chair on the black round table.

The remaining pre-transcendent stage cultivators didn't take the seat.

"I heard that Blackwater is destroyed, what should we do about our plan? We don't have anyone who can deal with this on the western continent.

" The head of Black rock asked.

"I talked to Boss about this. He said that he would think of a solution by himself. We shouldn't worry about the western continent matters….

"

Black fire explained somethings and after taking the instructions the pre-transcendent stage cultivators, left the room.

"What about our trip to meteorite sand island? Boss doesn't know this, right? All these years it was okay since, we are our own, but now the boss took over, we still had to hand over this information to him.

What should we do?

" Black rock asked Black fire.

The black fire stayed silent for a while and said.

"We don't know the properties or the forging methods of the meteorite sands that we have in our hand. Every experiment we are doing is giving us a loss. Even if we get more from the island, there is no use for now.

Right now, Boss is also looking out for our every move and we don't have a chance to go to the meteorite island.

So, we will wait and after the plan reaches the peak stage, Boss would be busy for a great amount of time and we will use that situation to get the information we need.

We will keep the sands that are useful for us and hand over the rest to the Boss. Until that we just have to be careful and not cause any doubts to the boss.

"
