Chapter 417: Against the Monkey King II
Sam picked out on shard after another until it was completely done. The next step was healing. But when he looked at the people around him, he really wanted to beat the crap out of them. They could have just minded their own business.
Why would they want to look at him all the time?
There is no need for them to continuously observe him. Ge gritted his teeth and took out a formation disc. A concealing formation appeared around him. He then started cleaning up the wound and the internal organs, his palm is not the cleanest of all things, he has to be careful.
He took out any possible impurities with his spiritual energy and started healing himself. The light elemental energy enveloped the wound and slowly recuperated. He didn't bother taking pills, he just took out an energy cell of light element and stood there weakly.
He completely unclenched his muscles and relaxed as he took small low breaths.
After healing the lung and other internal organs along with the bone crack the rib suffered, he started healing the flesh.
Just like every time, he left the scar.
After healing himself, he took back the formation disc and started eating some food. This is made by Mackey. Sam got used to his food and decided that he would bring the food wherever he went. Anyway, the food will not lose its heat, in the spatial ring.
The others looked at him with a dumbfounded expression. They didn't expect that he would just eat a meal that casually.
It is almost as if he didn't care about the injury. They don't know what he did behind the concealment formation.
But they do know that he didn't stay for a long time, behind the formation and there are not many things that could be done in such a short amount of time.
Sam looked at the remaining platforms and saw that the candidates are still looking at him without fighting the statues.
There are only two statues left and there are three candidates.
Sam then looked at the treasures that are floating on them. One of them is a peach and another one is the scroll of the body tempering.
When they noticed Sam's gaze the candidates suddenly came to their senses, they realized that if they don't take the chance immediately, Sam might take the treasures away. Then they wouldn't be able to fathom the regret they would have to swallow.
Arkiv is the first one to make a move.
He didn't hold back any longer. He knew that he couldn't get past the stone statue if he was still like this. From what the golden statue said, he knew that all of them are of the same kind. They are chosen ones, the people who got second chances from the gods.
There is no way they don't have trump cards.
When he saw this, the chosen from the beast faction also leaped on to the stage, the 'man' from the herb garden who is observing Sam the most, didn't react fast enough and missed the chance.
She knew that she lost the opportunity to compete further.
These candidates wouldn't just give up anymore. If they did, then it wouldn't be her place to get the treasures, Sam would take them no problem.
Both the candidates on the platform seem like they have gone berserk. They used their most powerful attack without any reservation, but still, it became a bloody battle instead of a clean sweep.
The monkey statues are only lost because of their stone bodies. If they are really made of flesh and blood of the monkey king, they could dream of defeating him even on the same level.
They might be geniuses, but even they are not comparable to the Monkey king.
Even Sam, who is well versed in a myriad of arts wouldn't think he is better than Sun Wukong.
After the five battles are over, everyone is in a ragged state, the 'man' from the herb faction is in the best shape. But she doesn't have further qualifications to take part in the final test.
As for the remaining people, Arman decided to withdraw from the test.
It almost cost his arm and a leg to deal with the statue, the final test wouldn't be simple. Anyway, with Sam here, he wouldn't dare to compete and humiliate himself further.
The man from the beast faction chose to take it, while Akriv was hesitant.
The five platforms disappeared into thin air and the Monkey King said.
"Okay now, the final test is to fight me. I will be using a special technique and you have to fight me. If you are competent enough then you can even learn this. In fact, I am doing it so that you can learn it.
Even if you don't learn it, if you can beat me, you can get the final prize.
Since all of you are here, I am feeling extremely generous today. If you three of you manage to defeat me. Then I will reward all three of you in the same way. But if none of you defeat me within the next few days and decides to give up, then I will not give any reward and after all three of you gave up. I will let you all leave."
The chosen from the beast faction was the first one to climb the platform. He doesn't want to give the chance to Sam or Arkiv.
If by chance they succeeded, then he would regret it.
At this moment, several lines appeared on the Golden statue as it turned translucent.
All these lines looked like the muscular fibers and the meridian network of the body. They could see the energy flow that is going through his body.
He is showing the energy flow of the technique that he is using so that the candidates could learn it.
In fact, the energy circulation is also not extremely different, Sam could see that this is somewhat similar to the physical state he was in previously.
The spiritual energy is spreading through the meridian network at the same time, the muscles are also being used as a medium.
The muscular lines contracted a bit and they felt as if the whole statue has become leaner. The energy circulation is mostly uniform.
The monkey king didn't use the staff. He struck the staff into the platform making it stand straight.
He then threw a casual punch.
The candidates could see the spiritual energy movement over the meridian network and the muscle fibers.
The spiritual energy moved in waves and at the point where the punch struck there is a small energy explosion, the energy explosion doesn't have any sound because as soon as the energy exploded, there is a certain vacuum created on that spot and the surrounding spiritual energy hurriedly tried to occupy it.
And due to the overflowing of energy into a single spot, the energy collided and created a force. Everything in the surroundings showed a reaction. Sam who is below the platform could also feel the might of the punch. The spiritual energy in the atmosphere is in turmoil and the wind also blasted on his face.
As for the chosen from the beast faction, he tried his best to defend from the force but he was still blown back and was almost out of the platform.
"I call this the Void technique. Looks great right. That is the best technique in the world. It can be used in all forms of techniques as long as it involves physical attack." The monkey continued explaining and picked up the staff.
He swung the staff and they could see the spiritual energy passing through the staff. Once again the body's muscle fibers started making the same type of energy waves. And they noticed that the longer the wave, which means the more area of the body is covered the stronger the force would be.
The waves started passing through the staff and he struck the staff in the air.
The air suddenly roiled, the spiritual energy is in chaos. This is almost as good as destabilizing a spiritual stone.
This is what Sam thought after he looked at the attack.
The chosen from the beast faction couldn't handle the force and fell from the platform. It is hard to even take the force coming after the attack is completed. One should wonder what it would be like to take the hit directly.
The Monkey king looked at the candidates and said.
"This is just the force of Nascent stage cultivator. Imagine if you were to be a Consummate realm cultivator and attack someone. What would happen?
Imagine if you are a cultivator of a higher level and fought like that?
Of course, there are some drawbacks. The spiritual energy consumption is high. There is no such thing as a free meal.
If you guys master this technique, I don't think you have to worry about energy consumption though. All you would need is a single clean hit anyway."
