nBoth the teams slowly started getting on the stage. They don't have enough authority to even request the temple heads to stop this battle.

nThey have to. The thunder god temple candidates are a bit nervous, while the beast faction people are a bit more confident.

nBecause some of the Beast Faction candidates will have beast companions to fight along with him.

nThe beasts are not restricted from the rules and that is why every year the beast faction people have an edge over the rest of the candidates.

nBut Sam didn't seem to care. He is just looking at the candidates who are slowly coming onto the stage.

nFor some reason, ll of them are kind of freaked out by his aura. They know that something is different, but they couldn't put a finger on it.

nAfter all of the got on. The thunder god temple candidates are standing on one side, while the Beast faction candidates are standing on another side. Sam is standing in the middle.

nThere is no neutral party to act as referee, so every time two teams are battling, the idle team will act as a referee and now it was the Herb Garden who are acting as referees.

nA Nascent stage cultivator stood beside the stage to act as a referee.

nSam coldly observed the beast faction candidates as if they are lambs ready to be slaughtered.

nHe couldn't find Sanjay there, but he is not sane enough to think about the reasons of his absence.

n

"Fight.

"

nWhen the referee signaled the beginning of the fight, the beast faction members took out their beasts.

nOnly six out of ten have beasts as their companions and Sam could recognize that out of three only three are complete beast warriors with a contract with their beasts, the remaining three are just ordinary tamers.

nThis is their plan. The faction also agreed for the same reason. Since they can overwhelm the others with numbers, why would they let go of such an opportunity?

nAnd thunder god temple is always a tough competitor for all of them, in all categories. So, they didn't even bother to stop them. They are actually extremely glad that the two tough competitors are dealing with each other.

nPhilip and Jack are on tenterhooks, while Nicholas is extremely excited, he controlled his urge to start a fight, he noticed that Sam is really pissed about this, he would really piss him off more if he wants to take a share in the battle.

nThe Beast faction candidates first decided to send the beasts instead of fighting themselves.

nBut as they took a step forward, Sam looked at them with a smirk and released the beastly aura of the five beasts. All the beasts Sam had a contract with are of far superior bloodline, in front of them, these six beasts are like vermin.

nHe didn't even bother with to battle them.

n

"Kneel.

" Sam spat out coldly and the six beasts prostrated as if they received a goldy command.

nAll the spectators are stunned. Particularly the seniors from the Beast faction. He could sense the primordial beastly aura from Sam.

nHe is one of the knowledgeable persons, regarding beasts on this planet, but he couldn't recognize the beastly aura.

nWhat surprised him, even more, is with a single command, he made the beasts kneel and made them completely disregard the command of their owners.

nThe Beast faction members felt something was off and ran towards the beasts hastily. The beasts are their companions, not meat shields, so they are not going to leave them like that. They were afraid that the thunder god temple candidates will make a move directly.

nSam looked at Jack and Philip and said.

n

"Try to hold them off for a few seconds.

"

nWith that, he made a move and arrived at the nearest corner of the hexagon. He poured some inscription ink and controlled it with the water elemental energy.

nThe rest of them couldn't understand what he is doing, but one of the Beast faction candidates who held a spear was about to make a move on Sam, but Jack interrupted him.

nThe rest of the candidates are also about to make a move, but Philip and Nicholas also sprang into action.

nSam didn't even take a glance at the situation, he moved from one corner to another and soon covered all six corners and before they knew it there is a barrier formed around the hexagonal stage.

nSam used the inscriptions to create energy nodes and created a formation and now all of them are trapped inside, there is no way out for them.

nThe thunder god temple candidates have yet to make a move, except for Philip, Jack,and Nicholas, the rest of them didn't get involved yet as the beast faction candidates are mainly focusing on dealing with Sam.

nSuddenly, the spear-wielding guy from the t faction escaped the siege of Philip and ran towards Sam, who is still turned outside. His arms started glowing and the muscles became extremely tense as he used maximum power to thrust at the of Sam.

nSam evaded to the side, but still couldn't dodge the attack properly, he threw a left hook at the shaft if the spear, making the attack deflect to the side.

nA hole appeared on the stage.

nSam's knuckles are bruised and there is a small cut in his fist, but he didn't even bother to heal.

nHe made his move and took out a spear from his storage, this is the spear he got from Murali's inheritance and this is only one of the spear's he got.

nWhen the spear wielder turned around to face Sam, all he could see is, Sam,impaling the spear in his right abdomen forcefully.

nThe spear went through him diagonally and the tip pierced itself into the stage, making the opponent stuck to the stage.

nSam walked closer and looked at the man in the eyes. The opponent felt his heart turn cold and he started sweating profusely.

n

"What did you call me?

" Sam asked in an extremely cold tone, which is almost like the per of Grim reaper.

n

"I… I..

"

nThe opponent wanted to say something but Sam didn't give him the chance. As soon as he opened his mouth, Sam stabbed a knife right into his tongue. The knife came out of the lower jaw barely missing the esophagus and the windpipe.

n

"Ahhh…. Ahhhhh…

"

nThe opponent started groaning, but Sam didn't show mercy. He took out another ordinary spear and impaled it into the abdomen. He started harming the non-lethal areas.

n

"AHHHHHHH….

"

n

"Ahhhhhh...

"

n

"Nwwwoooo….

"

nOne spear after another started piercing into this body and every tip went straight through him and got stuck on the floor.

nEven when, he was about to faint, Sam didn't let him. He started slapping him awake and even used the water sprays to wake him up.

nHe pierced a total of twelve spears into him and took out two more spears.

nHe leaped into the air and landed on the spear shafts protruding out of him. He looked down on the opponent right in his eyes and impaled them straight into the two eyes.

nThe spears have thinner tips than the rest and they penetrated right through the head taking off most of the head and impaled itself into the ground.

nThe audience is stunned by the gore. There are many veterans at the scene and even they couldn't see Sam's brutality.

nThey all had goosebumps as they watched the soul-searing torture.

nOnly Philip and Jack are a bit normal, not because they got used to it, but rather they prepared themselves for such a scene beforehand.

nBut they still held a tight guard on the remaining candidates not allowing them to gang up on Sam. Not because they are afraid that Sam wouldn't be able to handle them.

nThey are afraid that Sam would kill them faster and his blood lust wouldn't be satiated.

nSam turned around and looked at the remaining beast faction members.

nPhilip suddenly relaxed a bit and let one guy go out of his control.

nThat guy is a water elemental beast warrior with a turtle as his beast. Right now, the turtle is hiding in its shell in fear of Sam's aura.

nThe water element user didn't know what to do. Philip and others are stopping the rest and are not letting them go. He looked at the corpse which is still standing because of the pierced Spears and gulped.

nThe next second, he turned around and wanted to jump off the stage, but the formation blocked him.

nHe started sending one after other water bullets as if he is going crazy, he didn't even care about his spiritual energy usage.

nBut the formation is not budging at all.

nSuddenly, he felt a hand over his shouldered and he shuddered. He didn't even dare to move a single finger when a cold voice was heard.

n

"Why the hurry? I will send you.

"

nHe abruptly turned around and involuntarily backed away, but his back was against the barrier.

nHe made some hand signs whilst they are shivering and kept all the energy in his final attack.

n
