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.
