Sam's eyes were cold and full of malicious intent. He is like a wild beast out for blood.

Jim could almost feel as if he was struck in a beast's maw.

"SAM, you better let him go. Otherwise, you won't be leaving this place alive."

General spark said in a cold voice.

Sam didn't even bother to look at him.

From what Sam understood, if even the Marquis can get the news that Sam cannot be touched, then the General would definitely know.

As for why these candidates can fight each other. That might have something to do with those people behind the scenes not placing any rules about the infighting between the candidates.

After all, they need the best person and the strongest is always the best in this world. If a candidate can outwit, outsmart and outplay another candidate that only proves that the loser is not capable.

This is just Sam's conjecture.

So, he is not afraid of the general at all.

Sam just looked at Jim whose legs are shivering.

"I..I su..rrender."

"I am sorry Jim. I think you got something wrong here. This is a death match and the life of the loser is not in his hands, the winner decides and, in this case, I decide whether you get to live or die."

Jim shivered in fright, but that only increased the pain on his hip.

Sam smiled ruthlessly as he said in a creepy voice.

"You are feeling helpless, right?

You are feeling the pain, right?

You are unwilling to end your journey like this, right?

But you have to go through this, do you know why? Because you involved in a matter you shouldn't have. You shouldn't have come to my camp and instigated the whole farce with Jian. Now, you are paying the price."

When Sam said these words, Jim turned his head and looked at him with his eyes red in fury.

"Why are you looking at me with that hatred? I am not the one who led you into this. Remember, you told you to come and make trouble for me.

Remember why you even bothered to come and make trouble for me who doesn't even know you."

Sam's words are like some directions pointed in a lost way. Jim involuntarily looked at General Spark.

General Spark felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what it is.

He stood up and shouted.

"SAM, let him go."

But Sam didn't bother to reply. He continued. His words are as poisonous as a viper.

"Yes, he is the one. Your beloved teacher is responsible for this. Do you even know why he is targeting me?

Do you even know how we have this beef, when I came to this city for the first time?

Because of his grandsons.

Due to his grandsons' incompetence and jealousy, they complained to him and he is taking it out on me, but on whose expense?

You are just a pawn for this play.

He doesn't want to lose face, so he sent you to do all the dirty work but that is not the only reason, do you know why he sent you?

He could have just introduced his grandsons to the commanders and they would have asked them for the favours, but why did he choose you?"

When Sam asked these questions there is confusion mixed in the pain on his face.

General knew that situation is moving out of hand so he was about to make a move, but Deputy General stopped him.

"Move aside." He barked coldly.

"General Spark, you said everything will be according to rules and everything is going on like that, Sam mentioned that this is death duel and it would be so no matter what.

Loser dying or living will be decided by the winner.

If you interfere now, I may not be able to stop you, but you also cannot stop me, if I make a move on your students.

If you break the rules, I will also do so."

"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ME?"

"General Spark, do you think I am afraid of you? I may not be your match now, but do you think you can kill me if I am hell bent on escaping? You seem to forget what I am good at.

And by the way, it is also unknown if I go all out, then I won't be able to grab you to hell with me.

You stayed in that pathetic Middle stage Novice for twenty years. And I might reach the same stage in less than three years. It is about time you stop putting yourselves on such high pedestal."

General's face immediately sank, this is the cold hard truth and that is also one of the reasons that he suppressed the Deputy General before. He doesn't want latter to have any accomplishments, lest he would gather enough resources to surpass him.

"Are you sure you want to go against me like this for a brat?"

"I am pretty sure, as you said before I will do my duty to utmost capability to make sure that everything is going according rules."

While the two big-shots are having a confrontation, Sam is still speaking with Jim as he tightened his legs bit by bit.

"Do you still not understand? He knew that I am a ruthless guy. He knew that I slaughtered three hundred members alone because they hurt my teammate.

So, he found you guys as a target for my anger.

Since, you are the guys who started finding trouble to me, I would leave his grandsons alone. You are pathetic scapegoat for his grandsons."

When Sam's words reached him, Jim's face was already paled. He didn't know what to think of it. But the pain was telling him that all this wouldn't have happened if his teacher didn't send him to do the dirty work that day.

He felt betrayed and used.

At this moment, Sam's voice came again.

"So, whatever that is going to happen, you can only blame it on your teacher."

After that, the whole place turned silent and only cracking sounds could be heard.

Then came the sound of a painful and miserable wailing.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH................"

Jim cried on top his lungs. He could feel his spine cracking and he slowly lost the feel of his legs. It is as if he didn't even have legs at all. He couldn��t move them; he couldn't even feel the pain of his legs.

Sam stood up leaving the now paralyzed Jim on the stage.

General Spark stared at him with fury, but he held back because, once he made this move, there would be no stepping back, he has to kill the Deputy General and even make sure that his students are also silent so that the news will be buried.

But that is impossible.

Sam looked at him coldly and kicked Jim out of the stage and then walked back to stand in his original position.

General looked at him coldly, he then looked at his students who also heard what Sam said to Jim. They also started doubting the motives of their teacher on sending them to mess with Sam.

General now understood that Sam is here for more than just defeating his squad. He is here to destroy him.

Sam destroyed his position in the hearts of the soldiers and commanders, now he is destroying his position in the hearts of his students for whom he even gave up on the army even risking his position.

Now, Sam shook the foundations of their bond between him and his disciples.

He looked at the young man standing on the arena who is staring right back at him fiercely.

"I thought, that thunder wolf squad will be all that. But this isn't much.

How about you guys come in teams, that would save me lot of time."

These words from Sam back everyone out of their shock and they looked at Jim and Sam with a look of fury.

They knew that their teacher is the one pissed the other party off, but they still cannot let that person walk all over them.

From what they saw, they knew that they cannot beat Sam individually and there is only one way that can give them sufficient confidence and that is ganging up on him.

Even if it was unfair, they are a team and they always work as a team.

A total of twenty-seven novices walked on to the stage as they started standing in a formation.

These are the real Novice squad of the thunder wolf squad. Out of thirty- three are reserve members which are also as strong as the rest of the members in the squad. It is just that they are not as compatible in the team.

Jim is also one of those reserve members.

These twenty-seven members have two goals in walking together on to the stage.

One is that they don't want to take any risks with Sam and the other one is to make sure that they can beat Sam overwhelmingly.

Sam didn't care either way.

A young man in late twenties who seemed to be the leader of the group said.

"You might have grievances with our teacher and some of our squad members might also take part in it, but this is not good enough reason to cripple a person like that, is it?"

"Who are you to decide whether that is reason enough or not? I am the only one that gets to decide on every matter that involves me. Not even your pathetic General who is undeserved of his title is eligible to do so.

Let alone you, who is a student of that pathetic life form."

The air almost stopped flowing after Sam's words left his mouth. His words are extremely cruel and disrespectful.

But nobody has anything to say to that, even the general has nothing to say.

At this moment he is angry but there is one thing that is making him feel like slapping himself.

That is not heeding to his son-in-law's words. He clearly said not to push someone so that we would regret it for the life and he could see why he said that.

Sam is not like any normal person; he doesn't have as much tolerance as other normal people.

Two weeks of trouble, that too nothing too overboard. After all, give some beatings to the teammates is not that much of a damage, thrashing a place can be considered as acting of some thugs.

In actual fact, nobody hasn't even made some serious damage to him yet and he is already out for blood.

In fact, his actions cannot be simply considered as going out for blood. He is making the general lose everything he had except for the wealth and cultivation which cannot be simply taken away.

Other than that, his position as a general, his position as a teacher and a mentor are all being taken away one by one.

He could only pray in his heart that his students wouldn't fall in this battle. If that happens, he would really fail as a teacher.

After all, he was supposed to protect them, but he brought them all this trouble.
