Chapter 504: Troubles for Rana
Chapter 504: Troubles for Rana
This time, Sam didn’t bother creating a show so that opponents could retaliate a bit and drag the battle, but his hits are extremely decisive as he wanted to cleanly sweep the opponents.
The lightning flash came from different directions. The opponents couldn’t keep up with that.
The audience is cheering at the one-sided onslaught, but some of the discerning eyes are in awe of the skill Sam has shown.
The elemental fusion is somewhat difficult to achieve and it needs a lot of control which should be deemed impeccable.
They are surprised at Sam’s control over his energy that he can activate and deactivate the fusion as he liked.
It is almost like being in the fusion is like eating and drinking to him.
Yodha is also looking at this scene and he is thinking completely differently, maybe only the other Noble scions are the ones who are thinking in the same way as him.
Because they are not just here for the show unlike the rest of the audience. Even though they enjoyed the show they are here for the skills and they have a gut feeling that Sam is showing his skills step by step.
Yodha has this feeling even more because, he saw Sam’s skill level before the rest, which prompted him to present wine for him after the first fight itself.
Until now, Sam showed his long-lasting stamina by fighting twenty opponents one by one, then in the first fight against the Bronze ranked fighters, he showed his overwhelming attacks and in the second fight, he showed his impeccable speed and defense at the same time his control over the massive amount of spiritual energy.
As for the fight now, he is showing his tracking skill, battle instincts, an overwhelming advantage in using the terrain, and such.
From what Yodha is seeing, Sam is exhibiting his skills to be more eye-catching in every fight. In fact, as he progressed from one fight to another, he is showing off more and more.
It is almost like he is trying desperately to be out in the spotlight.
Even Rana might have noticed this, but he doesn’t care about that, because what he needs most at this moment is the capital for his business so that he can compete for the position.
Arena might seem lucrative, but it doesn’t make it for the long term.
He cannot depend on it if he wants to have large scale growth and develop his own loyal forces.
Sam also understood this, that is why he started becoming more and more daring with his requests.
If not for the fact that he is the prisoner of the Arena, he would have supported Rana directly, with the wealth he had in his hands, it would be a piece of cake for him to do this. But it is not suitable yet.
If he can get out of this place, he can do whatever he wants.
At this moment, Rana only has one thing in his hands and that is wealth that too is not too much. He doesn’t have his father behind him neither his family, he would have to struggle all alone.
As for the rest of the families and other top dogs supporting him, it would only happen if he can give them enough incentive.
Sam is thinking while he was busy dealing with the six gold rank fighters and he was done in five more minutes.
After clearing them up, he took the tokens and started walking towards the entrance.
This trip has been rewarding and he achieved the goal he was set out to achieve.
Sam didn’t expect that he would succeed on his first try, but from now on he doesn’t have to worry about the layout. He can complete his backup plan.
After leaving the place and returning to Arena, Sam was gifted with the bonuses. Today’s bonuses are by far the highest.
He left to his residence to think of what to do next.
Meanwhile, Rana is looking at the bee-puppets in his hands with a shocked expression. He has seen the performance of the puppets, this is used for broadcasting the fight, but it is not the best use for it. There are many more efficient ways to use this.
He started examining the materials and the structure, but to his dismay, he couldn’t see the internal structure with just his spiritual sense, there are too many restrictions.
Not just him, even the noble scions are interested in how Rana showed them the whole fight.
It is not like they never saw this before, but it takes an extremely high-level formation and it costs too much.
Rana doesn’t have enough resources or wealth to make the formation, he could barely put that restriction formation in that forest after renting it from the authorities.
It would be hard if he really wants to get that formation that can broadcast, apart from that these crystal screens and the various angles, are all completely new to them.
If even they, the scions who are going to be the next heads of their families with full support doesn’t know the source and existence of such technology, how can a person who is being bullied and isolated from his own family get his hands on this?
If Sam knew that all of these people are thinking about this, he would wear a grin from ear to ear.
Because that is the result he expected. When he showed the bee puppet’s demonstration, Sam didn’t show the quality of the surveillance to its full extent and even the angles it can capture and the speed it can follow are not shown to its complete potential.
But in the actual fight, they worked to their fullest extent and showed impeccable image.
He wanted to put more pressure on Rana.
If Sam is in Rana’s place, he would take advantage of the current situation and showcase the prowess of all his candidates and sell them to the noble families in form of favors or wealth, as for making them join his force, which would be a stupid decision.
Because the resentment they feel for being toyed like an animal is not something they would be able to forget that easily.
He could guess that Rana’s plan is the same. But Sam wants to accelerate the plan and make him do all this faster.
He cannot manage the Arena on his own, he does have skills but he doesn’t have resources or support and he is not capable of gaining them in short term.
And he gave away the bee puppets and now they are like oil in the fire.
All this while, Rana will only get pressurized by his own family, but now all families are concentrating on him.
Meanwhile, Sam is meditating in the room with lightning surrounding him and the whole room was lit with silver light blinding the surveillance.
As his back is facing the surveillance, what the people who are watching him don’t know is, a shadow expanded from right below Sam and extended to his mouth. At the same time, something unbelievable happened as Sam’s chest suddenly bulged and his esophagus expanded like a balloon.
He used wind elemental energy to pressure his esophagus and created a tunnel from his stomach. At this moment, a small hornet flew out of Sam’s stomach and the shadow that was stretched out turned into a hand and caught it before disappearing.
The shadow reappeared in the hallway and the hornet was left to fly freely.
The small hornet which completely negligible in the eyes of everyone in the Arena left the place that day and roamed into the city.
The same process happened again and again and for the whole night, Sam is creating this blinding light in the distraction.
Meanwhile, Arman is being a good and obedient test subject as he kept a space jade in his mouth and took one medicine after another from it as he experimented it on the poison.
He took a minuscule amount as he made it react bit by bit to see if any of these things can cure the poison completely.
The next day, Sam is still meditating as he closed his eyes. Inside his mind, there is a large blank space glittering with many white dots.
This is the result of the exchange between him and the hornet queen.
The hornets he sent away yesterday are one of the lowest-ranked insects of all time. They are Black hornets and they have short lifespans. They wouldn’t reach past Level 1 in their lifetime unless they get to have an evolution in their bloodline with enough resources that are generally not so easy to get.
After estimating the environmental conditions around, Sam went through all the beasts that stay in these conditions and came across some insect species and made a list to find out what kind of insects could live in the vicinities based on his estimation.
So, he picked a forest similar to that and he really did find one of them. But these hornets are at the bottom on the list, he would have preferred if he could find other types, but he couldn’t do anything about it. He has to deal with whatever he had in his hand.
And just like that, he now had a decent estimation on the size of the layout and if he wants to, he can even look at some areas nearby, that is the ability of the hornet’s queen and due to the spiritual connection he made with it, they can exchange the information directly. That means he is not seeing the image directly rather he is seeing in the mind of hornet’s queen.
While Sam is rather satisfied with the surveillance, he is completely unaware of the storm that was caused in Rana’s office since previous night.
