Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
chapter-227

Sam's words worked like magic and soon a person raised their hand.

It is none other than Arman.

"How much?"

He asked directly.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"Fifty million."

Sam thought for a moment and said.

"The technique is worth much more than fifty million, but I will agree, but on one condition. I don't want the spiritual stones; I need you to pay them in form of ores from the thunder god temple. I know that the ore management wouldn't sell some ores to the outsiders, you are responsible for getting those ores worth of fifty million.

If you agree, then it is a deal."

"Deal." Arman didn't even hesitate before agreeing.

As Arman walked forward Sam stepped down and let him take the platform.

"Arman, stop I need this technique."

Arthur stepped forward as he tried to stop Arman, but the latter didn't reply and just looked at Sam.

"You are responsible for stopping anyone until I get my hands on the technique."

With those words, he sat down on the platform. But he didn't relax. Sam stopping them is a layer of defence.

If Sam agreed to help him without expecting anything in return, he would definitely suspect him, but since he is paying a price, he can at least trust him partially. As long as he conserved energy and let Sam take the heat and erode the opponent's conditions, he is confident that he can manage.

He took out his sabre and held it tightly.

Sam looked at Nicholas and gestured him to come forward.

"Fifty-fifty, how does that sound?"

Sam asked to which Nicholas replied with a thumbs up gesture.

As Nicholas moved forward, Sam took out some formation discs and placed them on the platform activating them.

Three formations activated.

This is just in case that someone sneaked past them.

If Sam just gave these formations to Arman, there is a high chance that the combined attacks of these candidates could destroy them, but now that Sam and Nicholas are here to take the most heat from the candidates, the formations should be able to help defend the rest of the stray attacks.

Sam then took out the reaper and stood beside Nicholas.

"How about a little competition? Let us see who takes down more opponents. The one who wins will get sixty percent." Nicholas said.

"Sure." Sam replied with a smile.

The other candidates are still lost and confused. They didn't know what to do. If they take initiative and do attack Sam, they would be completely exhausted even if they did get past him and even after that they have to face, the perfectly fine Arman and after that with that exhaustion they have defend against the remaining candidates.

At this moment, someone spoke from behind the crowd.

"Let us all make a deal."

All the candidates turned around and looked at that person.

That person continued.

Those people are from the thunder god temple, who has no allies at all and them getting these lightning techniques is not beneficial at all.

Let us all ally together against the thunder god temple and we will defeat them together. Later the disciples from the Lightning Spear Sect and the Thunder bolt sect will take the techniques.

We will act in the same way for the next four rooms and the two sects shall pay compensation for the remaining three powers.

Are you okay with that?"

Sam raised his brows as he looked at the candidate who spoke. The interference from the palace is still there and Sam couldn't see the face of the person. But he should say that he was impressed by this guy.

He is essentially using Sam's trick of using this moment to gain something. Since, the lightning techniques are no use to them, they could either stop all others to not use them or they could choose the next best option and that is to let their allies get them.

But he doesn't have any excuse to unite all the candidates to get what he wanted and Sam's trick just helped him.

From his words, the thunder god temple doesn't have such good relationship with the rest of the powers and now that Sam made the deal with a person from the thunder god temple, he can make them common enemy and bring the rest to a common ground.

Now, his plan will work just fine.

The crowd started discussing and a person from a group shouted.

"Lightning Spear Sect agrees." And soon another voice raised.

"Thunder Bolt Sect agrees."

Arthur watched as the situation turned bad and his face turned ghastly pale. He didn't want to become the public enemy and he is not confident that he can defeat more than twenty people as for the teaming up with Sam, that thought never crossed his mind.

He looked at the crowd who are slowly teaming up and said.

"I am not interfering in this; I am out of here."

The last remaining person who is from another empire under the thunder god temple also left the place after Arthur left.

Sam looked at the rest of the candidates who are starting to team up and he got ready for a fight.

His eyes met with the person who proposed for everyone to team up. Sam might be impressed by this guy's plan but that doesn't mean he likes it and if one wants to scheme using him, they should first make sure that they have ability to bear the consequences that will follow the scheme.

Sam looked straight at that candidate and he made the first move, surprising them.

He swung his sword at the nearest candidate. The reaper moved leaving a red flash as it cut through that person's arm.

Nobody in this room has higher cultivation than fifth level of Great realm, so Sam is extremely confident that he can take them down.

He doesn't even have to fight harder. In this whole palace the only people who can give him some fight are Nicholas, Arman and Arthur and now that these three are not in the way, he doesn't even have to worry about a single thing.

Sam and Nicholas started a rampage. The sword and the spear are only visible in the form of metallic flashes. The screams of the people could be heard.

As the fight continued, Sam couldn't help but feel more and more disappointed. After all the time he spent in this world, except for Nicholas every fight was too boring for him.

After some time, Sam noticed that there are four other people who didn't join the fight. They are watching closely and one of them is the one who instigated the fight in the first place.

Within ten minutes the fight was over, Sam didn't even break the sweat. After all, unlike the time when he used laser, he didn't pull his punches this time. More than six people are even an inch away from the death as the palace saved them.

Sam looked at the final four who are also analysing him.

But Sam is not thinking if they are going to make a move or not.

From the fight earlier he found four other people who has tattoos on their backs which shocked him to the core.

But he didn't budge as he was in the middle of fight.

Now that he got some rest, he was thinking.

In the rush he failed to notice what the tattoos exactly looked like and before he could notice that, the palace already sent them out.

The four people are actually weaker now, and that is because their cultivation level is only at first level of Great realm.

They actually are the toughest of the whole bunch.

But the toughest of all are standing right in front of him.

The four people exchanged glances as they got ready to fight.

Sam is thinking whether he has to check these guys before he tears them a new one.

He was so engrossed in this palace thing that he forgot about these weird tattoos and he put four guys out before he got a chance to examine the tattoos.

Now that he remembered it now, he needs to make sure to see if the four of them have the tattoos and if they do what do they look like.

He has to gather as much information as he can and he has to get that as soon as possible. Since the time he appeared in this world, he knew that Ling Tian has some purpose for dragging his soul and shoving it in this body.

So, he has to make sure that he finds why he was here before Ling Tian's purpose is achieved so that he can prepare for whatever it is that is going to come towards him.

He looked at the four who are still waiting and said.

"You want an invitation or something?"

The guy who instigated the fight gave some signals and the other three moved. One of them went towards Nicholas with a spear, but he is also using lightning element.

Two out of remaining three, came towards Sam and for a moment all of them are busy.

As the parties are engaging each other, there was suddenly the wind whistling and within seconds, Sam made a huge move and caught something in the air.

There was a small dart in his hands and the one who threw it is the instigator.

Sam smelled the dart and said.

"Poison, should have expected."

That dart wasn't even aimed at Sam, it was aimed at Nicholas.

That guy was even thinking that Sam might be still alert of his surroundings and threw the dart at Nicholas who is always straight forward.

But Sam still caught it and as their plan failed the candidates heard another whistle and the dart pierced on of the candidates that are engaging with Sam.

But the attacks didn't stop. He moved towards the candidate who was hit and cut down his back and he saw what he expected to see.

There was a tattoo on his back, the tattoo is of a huge wave and that coincided with the fact that the person is using water elemental energy.

But he didn't stay there for long, after memorising the image he went on and finished the other two after watching their tattoos.

All of them have tattoos on their backs and with these guys and including himself, there are a total of ten people who have tattoos and if his speculation is correct, there are a total of ten people.

This made him more and more curious and anxious at the same time. Why are there so many people like this and why did all of them gathered in a same place?

And are there really only ten people? There are more and more questions in Sam's mind but there was no way to find answers.
