Chapter 316: Moriya, the swordless swordsman (2/2)

The stage was cleaned up and the next candidate from the beast faction entered the stage.

”I head you got injured, how is it possible for you..” The opponent started speaking but before he could finish his words, he was also sliced.

The same went for the rest of the candidates, just as the remaining powers were about to think that the whole injury was a hoax, Moriya, who just got off the stage and is walking towards the seat, stumbled and puked a mouthful of blood and his face became pale.

He started trembling as he was drenched in a cold sweat. The rest of the powers had a face full of realization. They thought that Moriya might have just endured through the injuries just to fight and now he had paid a price.

Even though, they realized that they didn't feel good, particularly the people who are just defeated. They are still consoling themselves, that Moriya lied about his condition and are cursing him for that.

But now that it was noted that Moriya is indeed injured, they felt worse. It was a huge blow to their confidence and self-esteem.

They couldn't even bring themselves to find any excuses. The younger generation of those powers are looking at the Nascent stage cultivators. But there is no trace of respect and admiration which was once present.

There are hints of pity and even disdain.

Only Sam, Philip and Jack knew that the whole thing is utter bullshit. They knew better than anyone else that Moriya is extremely well.

They don't know why the thunder god temple is causing this whole drama, but he does know that they are using the situation Sam caused for their own benefit.

After that fight he lost interest. But he was already impressed with this Swordless Swordsman. But when he closely observed Moriya's hands after he sat down, he understood that Moriya is indeed a normal sword user, by the calluses on his hands.

Moriya is a normal sword user and one of the most hardworking at that, it is just that the opponent is not worthy of him to wield the sword.

There are another two people who are extremely excited. One of them is Jack, he almost behaved like a lovestruck fool as he marvelled at the swordsmanship and the other one is Nicholas. His battle spirit is raising. If he was a Nascent, he would have already fought it out with Moriya.

After the whole competition is over, Thundergod temple ranked first and they have obtained the major stake in the resources.

They went back to the thunder god temple and so did the rest of the powers.

The Beast faction is the last place when it came to the Grand realm section and second place in the Nascent section.

They are the team which lost the most.

After the beast faction people returned, Sam's killing spree was spread all over the faction and everyone was stunned.

The woman who brought the token to Sam entered the island where Sanjay is training.

”Did you meet him?” Sanjay asked as soon as she came.

”I did. Who is he exactly? Do you know how brutal he is when he dealt with all the candidates? I almost puked in disgust. And the last candidate even died of fear. He killed him without even making a move.”

As she spoke, she took out a recording crystal and passed it over to Sanjay, who played over the battle.

Even, he couldn't bear to look at the recording and closed eyes sometimes.

He couldn't help but frown and think, why Sam hates the Beast faction to that extent.

”I heard, he is related to that new guy Watt, what's the matter?”

Sanjay looked at her and said.

”You don't need to know too much.”

The lady frowned and yelled at him as she pointed her finger at his face.

”Is that how you should be talking to your elder sister?”

”The only sign that you are older than me is your body. Grow your brains to and I might treat you like an elder sister.”

She gritted her teeth and hurled curses at him, before calming down.

”How is Watt doing? Did you control him yet? If he goes on like that more than seventy percent of Grand realm cultivators will lose their will.”

Sanjay just stayed silent without answering. She heaved a sigh and said.

”Sam said, he would take down the whole beast faction along with him if he has to if something happens to Watt. Is that why you are not controlling him?”

Sanjay was surprised, but he still stayed silent for a brief second before saying.

”I don't know exactly who he is, but there is a chance that he might be related to us and what our father is saying might actually be true.”

”He is really the traitor's son?”

”He is his son, but I am not sure if he is a traitor.”
