Chapter 531: Testing (1/2)

Sam didn't even give the young Naga a second chance. He can yap all he wants, but they are going to meet on the battlefield sooner or later anyway, he would like to see what kind of comments he could come up with at that time.

His current focus was on the man in the front. He is clearly a transcendent cultivator, that too a late stage. Sam guessed this from the eye technique and the man felt like he was almost being stripped down.

He coldly glanced at Sam and said.

”Why don't you take that mask off for me to see? I would like to see who is bold and skilled enough to make this much damage.”

Sam didn't bother to reply, he is trying to think of what to speak to get more information. In fact, it would be better if he could exchange some blows with one of them.

He would get a better grasp of their strength and he would be able to gain more information. Every little information is a bunch of credits for him. There is no way that he would let such a chance fly by.

He thought for a moment and said.

”Why don't you make me? If one of your lackeys has ability they can come and try to take off the mask.”

His tone contained a hint of arrogance and his eyes which are the only visible parts of his face are being looked at by the thirty members condescendingly.

”There are not lackeys, they are my disciples. Anyway, since you want to experience something like that I would like to see what you are truly capable of.” The man in the front replied and gestured for one of them to come forward.

A mutated human who has crystal protrusions on the shoulders and knees came forward and looked at Sam arrogantly.

He disappeared into a red flash as he arrived right in front of Sam and made his move.

Sam didn't use any elemental energy as he defended the attacks. He is using the eye technique while defending and the fight almost seemed like he was being pummeled. But not a single clean hit landed. Sam's hands are fluid and dexterous as he parried every single hit.

Meanwhile, the eyes are looking at the energy waves that are coming from the opponent's body. Even though he could see that the energy waves are also a form of spiritual energy there is a slight change in the energy as if it was polluted, it almost stank of blood.

It is almost like he didn't even care about the blows that are coming, but the opponent couldn't see the expression behind his mask, all he could see is that Sam is unable to dodge.

”Hmph, with this pathetic strength, you dared to come to our camp alone? It must be a suicide mission.”

As he said that, his fists that are already blood red due to his mutation glowed slightly and he punched towards the face. Sam noticed the energy waves and frowned.

He immediately brought both his hands to cover his face.

He took the full brunt to his hands and the fist made the black clothes covering his arms rip into shreds and even the shockwave of the collision hit straight at the mask and cracks appeared on the outer surface.

When the remaining companions of the opponent saw this, they thought Sam was finished, but all they saw is that there are some red bruises on Sam's arms. But that is it, there is no additional damage.

Sam took a step back and took off his mask and looked at the opponent.

He looked at the opponent and his eyes gotten a lot colder as he jumped forward. This time, his speed changed. There no additional glow on the skin, but they could still feel the aura that the fist carried.

Sam used all his physical strength and started throwing punches at the opponent.

The first punch landed squarely on the guard the opponent put up against his face. And the situation is almost the same.

He skids back as he created long streaks on the ground with his feet and his arms are extremely numb. He could feel the slight cracks that appeared on the bones.

The bruise is much worse compared to Sam's and even was even pushed back a lot more compared to his opponent, before he could express his anger, he was forced to defend, this time though his body is glowing with a bloody light as he blocked the punch that was about to land on the temple.

He blocked the punch with the hand and Sam was stunned. Because the recoil of the hit made his hand go numb, the surface of the hand of the opponent almost seemed like a steel plate for him.

Taking this small opening, he was once again pushed into the defensive position. The opponent's speed, strength, and defense all increased beyond reason and it doesn't seem to be his full power.

Sam once again focused on using his eye technique and the spiritual energy waves coming off of the opponent are too muddy for him. It is almost like red soil dust flying in the air. He frowned at this and left another opening in his defense that made the opponent land a hit on his chest.
