Chapter 202: Sam Vs Trevor (1/2)

Sam started showing the audience what instant torture can be.

He started twisting his limbs in weirdest ways possible and after coiling his both arms and legs, he set the bones and started healing them in that position.

Taurus' hands for bent and coiled backwards, entangled. The weird bone setting is making him hurt even with the slightest movement.

The legs are bent in weird ways and he laid on his belly as he groaned in incomprehensible words.

Sam moved forward and slapped on Taurus' hands making him feel immense pain.

Taurus looked at him with pleading gaze, he cannot take it anymore.

Sam finally healed his mouth and let him speak.

He immediately started speaking.

”I... I didn't want to do that; it was my father's plan. He said that since you have grudge with General Spark and the general is in a position where he couldn't deal with him himself. So, he asked me to do kill you, so that we can gain general's favour.

That is why I made a move on you, I didn't want to risk it, so I first made sure that I got a place in top ten and then made a move on you when you are injured. I am sorry, I am really sorry.”

He spilled everything in a single breath. He didn't even want to bear this pain anymore.

Sam looked him coldly and didn't say anything, the audience watched him as he stayed silent for a few moments, but they can feel his cold murderous feeling.

He suddenly extended his leg backwards and with pure raw force, he kicked the head crushing it on the spot.

The groaning and sluggish movements of pain stopped in an instant.

Sam didn't even wait for the referee to signal the match's end and kicked the dead body off the stage. He walked back to his initial position and looked at the remaining candidates to select the next person.

His expression changed back to normal and didn't even show any signs of killing a person.

”Since a person is died and a position opened up the last person who was eliminated yesterday will be taking the tenth place.” Referee explained.

As he said that Aiken Joy who was eliminated yesterday came to and stood beside the remaining candidates.

”Sam, do you wish to continue the next challenge.”

Sam nodded and pointed at Aiken Joy, but the latter shook his head and said. ”I don't wish to challenge anyone count mine as nine losses. I am content with tenth rank.”

Referee nodded in acceptance; Sam then pointed at another person to challenge. The fight was over very briefly.

Sam didn't hold back at all and the candidates surrendered one by one in an instant. All these while he did only one thing. Make a move and a single punch or kick, making them feel the threat to their life and stopping just before seriously damaging them.

Philip and Jack gave up right away without even bothering to put up a fight.

The candidates who lost to him grew frustrated at the turn of events. But they couldn't catch Sam's speed.

Finally, only two people were left to challenge, Trevor and Nicholas.

”Sam, how about you give us a chance to fight first, then we can have last battle and we don't have to hold back anymore?” Nicholas asked suddenly making Sam stop choosing the next person.

Sam thought for a bit and nodded.

After getting down the stage, the remaining candidates took stage one by one and this time the battles are little bit long and fights are intense.

Sam observed the battles nonchalantly. Out of all the candidates, Jack and Philip only lost to Trevor and Nicholas with six wins each.

When it was time for their battle, Philip just threw in the towel.

The remaining candidates, one of them is Josh Carton who is second son of Duke born on the same year as Nicholas but to a different mother. He is one of the people with least prowess in the ten and he sat at rank 9.

Followed by the two women, Sylvia at rank eight, Amander at rank 7.

Jinen at rank six, Philip at five, Jack at four.

Now only three ranks remained and three people, Nicholas, Trevor and Sam has to fight amongst themselves.

”You guys first.” Nicholas said these words and stepped down the stage letting Sam and Trevor fight amongst themselves.

Trevor is son of the General Mercury. Sam thought that he was a commoner and found out that it was indeed so. The military title gives them equivalent status as nobles but they are not. He felt funny at this system.

The nobles who do nothing but use their authority for own good are given such lofty status but the man who is controlling the whole city guard and working his ass off is called a commoner.

Sam shook his head and went up the stage. Trevor also came on.

Sam has observed Trevor's battle style; he is mostly passive and let his opponent make the first move. After defending for some time and getting a hand of the other person's attack style, Trevor took them down with a projectile attack which Sam wasn't able to observe.

Anyway, he might find out soon.

Sam didn't wait much and immediately launched an attack. His speed is invincible with the initial stage great realm cultivators. So, he has an edge over the rest of the candidates.

Sam appeared on left side of Trevor and threw a side kick. Trevor's reaction was better than most people, but it wasn't fast enough.

Sam's kick landed, on Trevor's abdomen sending him back flying.

To no one's surprise, Trevor held his ground and vigilantly looked around. He was waiting for Sam's next move and that wait didn't last long.
