Chapter 201: Breakthrough (2/2)
Now, Sam has also that facility and ability but he doesn't want to reveal the poison usage to the world directly. The element is bane to many users and it would work better if it was secret.
After practicing for hours in his tower, Sam was quite content, Water element is versatile in itself but he can use it in more ways than the norms could.
The training was over and the remaining time, he started his research till the morning.
The next day, in the arena again.
The whole field was repaired including the stage.
The ten candidates are standing on the stage side by side. Duke addressed them from his spot.
”Today, you will fight for ranking. Everyone of you will fight with all the remaining nine candidates and the one with most wins will be ranked first. The one with most losses will be ranked last.
There are no limits to fight except for that stage. In a fight the person who is off the stage will be eliminated.
The fight will stop if a person surrenders, loses consciousness or dies.
You can take a break after a fight and in that time the other candidates are forbidden to challenge you.
Sam, as you are the person with the most points you have to go first and you will be choosing your opponent.”
He sat down after ending his speech.
Except for Sam, the remaining nine got off the stage.
Sam scanned the nine of them and his gaze finally landed on the instigator who made a move on him yesterday. He pointed him and gestured him to come on to the stage.
A referee who is in charge of making the record of battles announced.
”First battle Sam Vs Taurus Van.”
Taurus is the only one who entered the top ten yesterday replacing a guy named Aiken. The rest of the candidates didn't change at all.
He is also a noble kid and the guy he eliminated is also from a noble family.
Sam looked at Taurus who came on to the stage and took out two short swords.
”Fight.”
As soon as the referee said these words, Sam made his move.
He used both his Phantom step along with his fleshly strength as moved in a blur.
Even before Taurus got into stance, Sam already landed a punch on that guy's face and slamming him into the stage.
*BOOM*
The stage cracked slightly.
Taurus felt as if his brain came out of his body. The audience were stunned.
Sam slowly squatted down and whispered.
”If you know what is good for you, you would say what I want to hear. Otherwise…”
He paused a bit and continued.
”You will still sing like a bird after I am done with you.”
Sam held caught his hand and broke it with a twist.
”Ahhhhhhhhhhh….”
Taurus shrieked in misery.
”I SU…” As he was about surrender, a small wind current came and cut his tongue halting his words.
He looked at Sam as he groaned in pain. His eyes wide in horror.
Sam smiled coldly and said. ”You won't be going anywhere before you say what I want to hear.”
