Chapter 531 - Testing

nSam 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.

nHis 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.

nHe coldly glanced at Sam and said.

n

"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.

"

nSam 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.

nHe 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.

nHe thought for a moment and said.

n

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

"

nHis 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.

n

"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.

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

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

nSam 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.

nMeanwhile, 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.

nIt 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.

n

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

"

nAs 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.

nHe immediately brought both his hands to cover his face.

nHe 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.

nWhen 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.

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

nHe 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.

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

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

nHe 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.

nThe 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.

nHe 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.

nTaking 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.

nSam 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.

nFor some reason Sam is pretty pissed, he looked at the opponent and his speed increased, he threw used wind elemental energy and the physical strength combined as he moved. His feet almost didn't even touch the ground when he reached the opponent and his punch full of wind elemental energy landed on that guy's face. The skin tore open and the whole temple was mangled with the tailwind of the punch creating the wind blades.

nSam didn't even give him a chance to defend, he used only boxing to make as short of work of this guy. He didn't even cross the boxing rules as he only stood in front and only punched on the face and the upper body. All his hits landed, not a single attack was blocked.

nHe didn't even keep his guard up all the time as he made all the strength of the opponent useless with his skill.

nWhat is the point if he can pack a mean punch when he cannot even land it? The opponent swung his punches left and right, clearly he is specialized in fists, but to his dismay, none of them landed. Even worse is the fact that every punch has been causing more damage in the form of counter punches.

nSuddenly, the companions of that person are all looking at the scene in amazement. From the start, the fight is mostly on their companion's side, but it seems like Sam is not giving his all. There is no comparison between the initial and the present situation.

nAt this moment, Sam felt something and dodged to the side.

nA blood-colored wind blade flashed across the position he was previously in.

nHe looked at the crowd and spotted the one who has thrown the attack. He spat to the side with a clear show of disdain, even the man in the front looked at that guy with a hint of anger.

nSam once again looked at the opponent who has cuts and bruises all over. But his body is still strong and standing stiff.

nThis is the best defense he ever encountered within the Nascent stage cultivators.

nAll his hits would have made someone incapable of fighting or at least made some critical damage. But now they could at most cause the opponent severe pain.

nBut Sam didn't back down, he could still win and he could have killed him any time he wanted.

nStill, he gave him the time, he would take the time so that he can gauge all the parameters.

nAs he was about to make a move, he noticed that something is off, the eyes and the crystals of the opponent are changing a bit and both of them are turning blood red.

nHe once again used the eye technique and saw that the energy waves are completely blood red too. His frown got deeper. Then he noticed that the opponent took a glass bottle of blood and started drinking it. The aura changed a bit and he cold. But he just stood there and watched.

nAfter the opponent finished the blood, he became berserk and ran towards Sam madly. Sam dodged the attacks like a slippery eel and coiled around the opponent like a snake as he took him to the ground.

nHe held him a guillotine and used the observation ability. He started checking the body of the person and noticed that the spiritual energy and even core are different.

nThe aura of the opponent kept on increasing. Sam felt irritated as the resistance increased. The stress on his muscles increased. But he didn't let go, the lightning element activated and he let the lightning ravage the body of the opponent.

nJust because he is not using his full power to doing damage, this guy managed to survive.

nAt this moment, someone the wind blade and the fireball that is also in blood-colored came towards him.

nSam couldn't help but dodge. He could have finished his opponent off, but he doesn't want to show all his cards right here.

nThe transcendent stage cultivator came forward at this moment and held his disciple. He took out something that looked like a seed and fed it to his opponent who is almost burnt black, but when he examined he noticed that none of his vitals are damaged, he looked at Sam in faint surprise and said.

n

"Why don't you show your full power? You could have killed him in an instant.

" He asked Sam.

nSam only smirked at him and whistled into the air, the bee puppet that is in the hiding came to him. He took it and stored it away before giving a grin to the leader and was ready to move away.

nThe transcendent stage cultivator wanted to make a move, but Sam actually used the transference scroll and disappeared from the spot.

nBut before he disappeared, he threw an energy cell towards the barracks that are far away from them.

nThe transcendent immediately felt that the situation would go wrong if he didn't stop that energy cell and a blood-colored liquid appeared in his hands as it shot forward and hit the energy cell away.

nBut before the energy cell could fall down and more than a hundred rooms directly blasted into smithereens with more than two hundred rooms affected by the shock wave.

n
