Chapter 415: Battle (2/2)

Sam lost.

Then only he noticed the others, and they are already down even before him and are already halfway through healing their wounds.

Seeing that they are not concentrating on him, Sam started using his light element to heal himself. he doesn't want to waste time with the digestion of pills.

He closed his eyes as he healed and started recollecting all the information he has from the previous fight.

The monkey king is more of a monkey than the warrior when he is at the Nascent stage, that is what Sam understood from those moves. It is not following any form of style of stance. The statue is behaving the same as a monkey.

Unpredictable is the only word that could be used to describe that fighting style.

After healing himself, he walked up to the platform once again. But this time, there is some other reaction from his body.

Sam started sending all his spiritual energy to his muscular fibers.

His body is enveloped with spiritual energy. His body seemed to have buffed up a little and the skin under his robes tightened.

Sam decided that this is the best time to utilize the results of the body refinement.

Due to his body cultivation, the natural strength, defense, endurance, and stamina of his body improved greatly and his physical attacks are stronger than normal, but the real prowess of the body tempering comes, when the muscles are fed with the spiritual energy.

This is the best physical form of his body.

At this moment, due to his disguise, Sam couldn't use his other elements and weapons, so he has to find a way to deal with them and the physical attacks are the most common things and are easy to cover up.

Sam's body is emitting a dangerous aura. At this moment, the spiritual energy around his body is being repelled due to the force emitted by the body.

Sam didn't bother to use any form of elemental powers.

He took his battle stance and swung his staff straight at the statue's head. The statue's eyes turned mischievous and slanted its head to the side to avoid hitting its head and used its staff to block the blow from landing on its body.

But as soon as both the staves collided, there is a large spiritual energy outburst. The spiritual energy at the contact point was blasted away and cracks appeared on the ground below the statue's feet.

For the first time in the fight, the expression of the stone statue and the expression of the golden statue turned serious.

Sam resorted to the most straightforward way to counter the unpredictability of the statue. The brute force.

With his skill, Sam was able to land at least a few hits in the first bout. So there is no way he would lose.

The exchange began and every time, the statue blocked Sam's hits, the whole body of the statue started trembling.

Sam's moves are fast, precise, and most importantly tyrannical. Every move he is making is driving the spiritual force away.

After a few exchanges, the monkey king statue back down and suddenly opened its arm and blew on it.

A lot of sand appeared on the palm out of nowhere and the vision is blocked for a second.

The statue is laughing his heart out at its trick.

But Sam didn't bother, he held the staff in his left hand and punched with his right hand in full force.

Half of the sand cloud cleared away with just one punch. The force of a punch is almost like an explosion.

As he hit a few times, the sand cloud disappeared and then lunged forward as he swung the staff on the statue. The statue was caught off guard due to the surprise from the punch.

As for why Sam threw punches instead of staff, which is the question the rest of the candidates who are watching the scene are all wondering. They knew the answer.

As Sam landed the hit on the statue's head. Even before the point of contact, they could hear a cracking sound from the staff. It couldn't take the energy and force from Sam's attacks.

Sam doesn't want to waste the staff away without landing a proper hit.

And the proper hit it is.

Even though the statue reacted in time to block with the staff, it broke apart and Sam's staff landed straight on its left shoulder and

*BOOM*
