Chapter 2262 Finish Early

2262 Finish Early

The young man went right into work after saying those words to Sam.

It seemed like he didn't expect any reply and just wanted to express himself. Sam took a look at him for a couple of minutes as he started drawing the designs for his weapons.

Sam looked at him for a moment and then at his designs. For some reasons, he didn't say anything to him. Just observed him for a short while and got back into his work. He took out one of the scrolls and started designing the weapons.

He needs to submit these designs along with the final pieces as well.

It is to ensure that whatever that the winners come up with is not just some random accident. The competition that already garnered a lot of excitement has attracted even interest. Only this time, Sam is the prime focus of it all.

As the student beside Sam said, it is not unheard of that some first graders breakthrough into the Grade 2 in the same year of their joining. But they are mostly special cases, like a guy who was already on the Peak of Grade 1 joining the academy after repeated failed attempts, or an unavoidable breakthrough that couldn't be ignored due to some special circumstances, etc.

Most people just tend to solidify their culitivation level and try to utilize the benefits of being a first grader as much as possible before breaking through. Because of that, it is not unusual to not have a single incident in a year.

But Sam just pushed it.

Not only did he do it, but he also started participating in the academy tournament. Technically, as a second grade student he can, but as the student said before, it is way too arrogant from the point of view of an average academy student.

Sam had his own reasons to breakthrough and enter the competition.

After so much effort, he managed to ignite the conflicts that are still burning passively behind the scenes. He cannot let all of that go to waste just because of some stupid rule passed on by the entity that is supervising the academy realm.

He needs to pour fuel on the fire and for that he needs to take more lives, crush more dreams and destroy more students.

He joined the competition solely for that reason.

But he realized that even without that, breaking through is a better move for him. Because as soon as he broke through, his wrist screen which didn't react for such a long time glowed again.

It showed the following message.

'Player Sam has met all the requirements to be eligible for the missions of the Academy realm.

Mission Name: Path to Glory 1

The audience are murmuring. At least most of the students are. But some keen eyed elders observed what Sam was doing.

Time passed, Sam heated the metal, beat it, made turned its shape into exactly what he wanted. He didn't even have to use his metal element to do that. Then he quenched his first weapon. A sword. He made a hilt while he placed the second metal in the furnace.

This time, he didn't hold back. He used a special wood and his wood control to make a proper hilt quickly and attached the blade. He just needs to sharpen it.

After that, he didn't even test the weapon and placed it on the side.

Then proceeded on to make the second weapon, the spear.

By then, most of the other participants were only in the middle of their first weapon. By the time they finished it and were in the final stage of finishes, Sam was also finishing the spear.

For this, he didn't make a separate shaft and such. He made the spear with a single large piece of metal. Beat it into shape, turned the body into shaft and created a proper spear tip, nothing fancy.

Then he moved to the axe and then the hammer and finally the daggers.

He followed the exact order the weapons were displayed in. He is at least a whole weapon a head compared to the rest of the contestants.

"What the hell? I thought he would show me something interesting, turns out he is not taking this competition seriously at all."

One of the elders standing beside Ling Tian murmured.

Ling Tian sighed and muttered.

"Not these cliched lines. Even I am getting bored of it. Anyone with half a brain can predict what will happen next."

He said as he glanced at Sam's weapons.

The weapons are well-made, but that is all one could say up on the first glance without any closer inspection. They are fine weapons, they fulfill all the requirements of being a standard weapon of their respective kind.

But that is all, even aesthetically, they are just plain boring, just like the methods Sam used to make them. They are just Basic.

Sam raised his hand indicating his submission.

The Elder in charge nodded and sent a student to collect his weapons.
