Watt took down two of the opponents from Thor Academy.

Sam took down two. Now there are only two left from that Academy. Thor and another guy who is watching over the first opponent to save him. Sam is actually a bit surprised that out of ten people from Norse region there are six people from Thor Academy and three people from Hel Academy.

Only person made it in from the other academies and ironically he is also working for Thor.

Sam kind of guessed that Thor must have pulled same bull** like Pearl did. However, Sam was there in Olympian region to destroy her plans, and here Thor succeeded. And that success is not going to last long because Sam is now going to take it out on them bit by bit.

Watt left the three heavily injured Thor Academy students in that forest before making his move.

His job is done there, now he can go and find new prey.

At this moment, Thor is running after Sam's trail to see if he could find him. Tough luck, he couldn't. He could feel that Sam is very close, but he was unable to reach him and catch up to him.

Soon, the rest of the allies he made also started searching the surroundings.

What they all don't know is that Sam is watching them from the top of the largest tree in the vicinity. He activated wood fusion and merged with tree and watched as they moved around searching for him. They occupied the whole area.

Even if Sam uses the space element now, they might be able to roughly estimate the direction he was moving in.

He is a bit impressed by their efficiency, but he also pitied their stupidity.

In the guise of searching in a larger area, they spread themselves thing. Now only duos are moving and started keenly searching the surroundings and this is a great situation for Sam. It makes things easier for him.

He took out his rifle and shot at a certain location. The bullet whistled through the air.

At the same moment, a thousand meters or so away from Sam's location, two people are looking around for Sam.

One of them belongs to Hel Academy and the other one belongs to Hou Yi's Academy. They looked pretty bored.

"Fuck this. I don't want to do this anymore. This guy is like a slippery eel. I am getting tired of this.

"

The guy from Hou Yi Academy expressed his displeasure.

The student from Hel Academy is setting up a trap formation for anyone that might cross this path. Sam or otherwise, this is a competition after all. Just as she was about to finish the formation, they sensed something coming towards them.

The bullet came toward them and both of them dodged to either side.

*BOOM*

They barely managed to escape from the bullet. Even the trap formation they set up was destroyed.

"What the ** is that?

"

Both of them looked in the direction the bullet came from. The explosion alerted a lot of people around. Sam had to change the locations. He immediately came out of the tree and flew away as he stepped on the wind with partial fusion and once again disappeared into the thick and lush forests.

Everyone started moving that particular direction, even the two people who were attacked by Sam wanted to do the same.

However when they just moved a few meters, a sword slash appeared out of nowhere.

*THUD*

A line of trees fell down with a single slash which was followed by the swordsman who made it. Jack came with the Black Meteorite Sword in his hands.

Unlike Watt, Jack didn't bother speaking any nonsense. He went into action immediately.

Sam who was on the run, took a high position once again and aimed his rifle in a different direction. This time he shot down one of the opponents out of a three man group. The remaining two stopped in their tracks for a moment and were a bit nervous.

At that moment…

*BOOM*

A massive explosion of flames happened.

Five Elemental King gave a flashy entrance and jumped in between the two of them.

In a different spot. Another gun shot. Philip went after two candidates. Unlike Jack and the rest, he took up an annoying tactic. He didn't even bother with showing face. Instead, the fiery metal projectiles started raining down on the opponents out of nowhere and suppressed them completely.

The spectators watched this from outside and felt that something is odd.

If not for the fact that the timing is too perfect, they could have brushed this off as a series of coincidences. Sam is shooting someone from far away while luring the people to his direction. Wherever his shot landed someone is reaching there and are dealing with the people that are already there.

The Elders started smelling some conspiracy, but of course, someone just took the most ordinary theory into consideration. They believed that since someone was attacking a spot, the nearest person decided to go there and reap the rewards.

But some believed that Sam might have allied with the others from the Olympian region, since the people that were attacking were only from the Olympian Region and the rest of the people were being targeted.

This caused a lot of discussion among the Elders.

But there is nothing against making alliances. Thor Academy has led a bigger alliance with students from all the regions.

The only ones they didn't include is the Olympian Region. So, if Sam managed to buy the Olympian region, then they couldn't do anything about it.

Thor who is running at the forefront realizes that something is wrong. Whenever Sam is aiming at a point, he is only aiming once. He is not following up and he is not even going in that direction to take the prey.

This made him feel nervous.

After the fifth hit that Sam made, he finally decided to stand still for a second. He took out the communication tokens and contacted everyone he could to come and gather.

They gathered within a few minutes and he made them contact all of their teammates. He could see the visible change in everyone's expressions as they made one call after another.

"I couldn't contact the rest of my teammates.

"

The Hel Academy representative, Zaara said in a worry.

The others also had similar responses. Apart from the people that are there, the rest of them are not available to contact.

"We need to go back and take a look. Something is off.

"

"Shall we split up?

"

One of them suggested.

"No. No, we are not splitting up. We need to be together. Something is wrong. I can feel it. We will move…

"

Before he could finish, he felt something coming from behind and dodged to the side.

*BOOM*

The bullet landed exactly where he stood and exploded. Sam clicked his tongue. He didn't really like missing the shot like this. But he realized that the more powerful the cultivation level is raising to, the harder it is for the guns to keep working as efficiently as before.

Unless he used a large amount of divine energy and used that explosion as the source of energy for the propulsion, it would be hard for him to deal with this. Anyway, he could think about it later.

Now it is time to conclude this **.

He aimed the rifle and started shooting at the same spot multiple times.

Around five to six shots later, Sam's friends understood what he wanted. Except for Vidyut, who is tagging with White at the moment, the rest of the team made their way to this spot. Since Thor is so into making alliances and taking someone out of his way, Sam used the same.

Within no time, Watt, Philip, Jack, and the rest of the team already arrived at the spot and they surrounded Thor and what was left of his team. Sam was about to go there and finish the fight, but the next moment, he had to turn around and throw a kick.

*BOOM*

His leg met with the kick of White and the recoil sent Sam flying. He put the rifle away and regained his balance. His leg trembled a bit. That is a perfect kick. If he really took it to his head, he would have been in a state of confusion for a few seconds at least.

Sam hovered in the air and looked at White Cautiously.

"Come on, do you really want to do this now?

"

"I cannot let you be. Now there are no arena border restrictions, so this would be a proper fight.

"

"Nah, I don't think so.

"

White frowned at Sam's laid-back attitude.

"You know, since there are no boundaries, I just walk away.

"

Wind elemental fusion activated and wings came on Sam's back. He zoomed towards the spot where the groups were confronting, he cannot miss it now.

As for dealing with White, once the top sixteen are set and they are in the actual tournament. He has all the time in the world.

At this moment, Thor is leading the group as they try to attack Sam's team, but to his shock these people who were supposed to not know each other that much, at least according to his knowledge, are a perfect team.

But still, Thor's team has more numbers and he wanted to take advantage of it. He knew that he is **ed and he cannot afford to not get into the top 16.

So, he has to find a way out of this.
