Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam's single-handedly scored higher than any other team in any other grade. Even the elders and grand elders who were out there competing didn't have this level of success. In fact, their success is subpar in most of the realms and a lot of their realms were even untouched. So, riding on Sam's results, the Gambler academy ended up in the lead position as well. No one was really too shocked that Sam won, but they were indeed startled by the number. Once the results were announced, Sam decided to go to the exchange center to check out what he could buy. From what Ling Tian said before, as long as there are enough points, anything could be bought using the exchange system during the conquest. Sam didn't really have anything particular in mind, but he did want to see if there is anything that could improve his new innovations. Right now, his new puppets can act independently, regenerate, can use the skills of the models they were created after. But they were just common soldiers in the fold and he needs some that could act as generals and commanders in his new puppet army. Something that could help him really punch above his current weight class. Something that could help him take down a third grader or two. For some reason, Sam was the first one to arrive. The exchange center was empty. He went in and looked through the list. He was surprised by the vast number of categories. Weapons, ores, formation blueprints, artefacts, inscription array blueprints, weapon blueprints, beasts, bloodlines, Inheritances… There are just way too many for him to pick from. Sam looked through the categories and his gaze landed on the artefacts first. He wanted to see what kind would be there. And he wasn't that surprised. There are many artefacts. Ones that could attack, defend, capture, kill and even improve the wielder's strength. But none of them were of Sam's interest. The one artefact that barely caught his eye was a cage. A cage that could capture people and beasts as long as the opponent was within a certain range of wielder's strength. The target shouldn't be too strong and it would work well if they were on same level and their strength has declined. Sam's thunder prison could do much more and it was a lot more versatile. His chessboard could capture thirty two members at the same time, if he used properly and can be used to brainwash them into his slaves. Sam had way too many tricks up his sleeves, that he didn't even get to use half the good stuff he had at hands. So, there was no point in buying this stuff. He went back to the category list and opened the bloodlines. This one intrigued him a bit. It seemed like the system already took his race as human into consideration and displayed which bloodlines are compatible or not. It is not that he couldn't buy the ones he wasn't compatible with, but he has an option if he only wanted to check the ones that he is compatible with. And the human body is actually pretty compatible with a lot of other humanoid bloodlines that he could assimilate. He might not reach the hundred percent potential of those bloodlines. But he would definitely not be so incompatible to the point he had to reject it. Sam scrolled though them for a while and picked a couple of bloodlines that he wanted to study. These are the ones that he didn't come across until now. One of them is the Devil Bloodline. It was actually a human bloodline. Much like the Dragon hawk tribe, it was a sub race among humans that somewhere crossed with a race called Devils. The other one is the Aurora bloodline. Another sub-race under the humans. It was also one of the few bloodlines that was known to use light element in an attacking manner. Sam had rarely met anyone who could do it. Each bloodline cost 10,000 points. That's 20,000. No one, not a single student could splurge that much, unless these bloodlines were actually what they were aiming for. Once he bought them both, he closed up and opened the inheritances. This was another category that he was interested in. One of the reasons was, the inheritances were probably the only way for him to speed up the cultivation, other than binge eating creatures at the third grade level. Ever since he came to academy realm, Sam realized how slow his cultivation has become. He did consume a lot of flesh and blood of the second grade level creatures, but he didn't see much progress. He stayed in the initial stage of initiation for months, which he is not willing to spend for the next stages. From what Ling Tian said, anything could be bought in the exchange center with the conquest points. So, he figured this was also possible. And when he scrolled through the inheritances, he did see something similar. A Divine inheritance of a warrior. However, it was a bit special compared to the rest of the inheritances. It didn't have any techniques, bloodlines or memories assimilated in it. Instead, it was just the cultivated energy. In the description, even the method of extraction was vaguely given. So, basically a cultivator who had neutral energy and was about to die, was captured and all the energy he already refined and cultivated into his core has been extracted along with his core. This energy is highly concentrated and it was all collected. In a way, it is essentially a tonic of sorts that will speed up his cultivation process. However, it was up to the consumer to tame this energy and make it his own. Because, the energy within has already changed its nature a bit since it went through a cultivation process. For example, a lightning user's neutral spiritual energy will also show some characteristics of lightning. It will be chaotic and destructive. A sword user's energy will be sharp. A water user's energy will be flowy and gentle. So, these natures might contradict with the consumer and cause a problem. However, for Sam, this isn't much of a big deal. He had a bunch of elements and he was used to changing the nature of energy based on all the various fighting techniques he uses. So, it was a good deal for him. Only the problem was, the price. Sam looked at it and sighed. Apparently the energy was extracted from the third grade warrior, that too at the beginner states. Which means, it was a cultivator at the initial stage of the Divine Plane Pre-transcendence. And this inheritance cost fifty thousand points. It is expensive. Way too expensive. From an objective point of view, weighting the risks and the price… it didn't seem that cost efficient. But Sam didn't care much. He bought the only one that was on the shelf at the moment. Apart from that, there wasn't much that intrigued him and he came back to the Gambler academy's station where Ling Tian was busy with the tasks.
