Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Sam set the barrier and took off his face cover again.

He is gasping for breath; he doesn't want to cover his nose at this moment.

He started coughing and blood spewed out of his mouth. His internal organs are shivering and he could see a rib piercing out of his body.

He didn't take this much of beating in quite some time. His whole body is shaking and he has yet to stabilize the spiritual energy wreaking havoc in his body.

He took that Void elbow directly. Sam finally understood the true horror of the attack.

It is not just the vacuum explosion or the sudden injection of atmospheric spiritual energy gathering and colliding at this spot. Rather the vacuum is sucking the spiritual energy from the body itself.

The spiritual energy of his own body caused this much damage to his body. Sam felt like dying. This one true vicious style of fighting he must say.

Sam wondered how it would turn out if the energy used is not normal spiritual energy and elemental energy instead.

He doesn't want to find that out at this moment at least not on himself.

Sam took out some herbs from the divine dimension and started extracting their juice. It is a herbal gas that is used to deal with impurities and has a faint cooling effect. He didn't want to place his hand inside the wound again. At least not immediately.

After crushing the juice and pouring it all over, he felt the burning sensation was gone and he is feeling slightly numb. Then he took out an energy cell and placed it on his lap. This is of light element. He first absorbed some energy to replenish his reservoir. After that, he covered his hand with the light elemental energy and held the broken rib which was in a displaced weird position.

He gritted his teeth and started adjusting the rib and placing it normally. He doesn't have enough energy to heal the bone anew.

First, he started healing the lung that was perforated and then healed the rib carefully. After the bone was healed, he started healing the injury slowly. This time too he left the blast mark on that place.

It might be ugly to look at, but he doesn't want to lose the remainder.

These scars will show him how much pain there would be if he gets injured again.

After healing the injury, Sam started eating another meal. He wanted to replenish his blood loss. But as he took a bite, Sam suddenly felt something and frowned.

He hurriedly grabbed the cloth to cover his face and then closed his eyes once again. He started using dark elemental energy and he disappeared from his spot all of a sudden.

He reappeared right behind the 'man' of the herb garden and held her in a chokehold with the dagger in his hand pointing into her ear. One stab and he is sure that he can slice the brain in half.

The 'man' from the herb garden couldn't help but shudder and the cold killing intent Sam is emitting.

"There are some things that are not meant to be seen." Sam's words are extremely dangerous and cold. She felt her legs go weak all of a sudden.

She felt like she is paying too much of a price for a small thing.

After all, she only got curious about what Sam is doing and wanted to peek a bit. Who wouldn't be curious when someone is trying to even use concealing formation? And from what she saw earlier, Sam even healed himself to his top condition after using the concealing formation.

She just wanted to see what he is doing.

That is why she used her ability to extend her spiritual senses with the help of the grass within the concealing formation.

But to her dismay, Sam noticed as soon as her spiritual sense entered and retaliated before she could see anything. All she was are the scars and the tattoo on his back indicating he is a chosen one.

And that is not a secret from what Monkey said at the beginning of the final tests. She felt like Sam is overreacting.

Arman was also surprised.

"Let me go. I apologize."

"Apology. If every offense can be forgiven just for the apologies, do you think there is a need for cultivation in this world? Half of the cultivators in this would lose their motivation to cultivate.

Anyway, since you also have something that you don't want to show, how can you just watch other's secrets?

Here I am being a good human being by not letting out your secret and yet you are trying to violate mine."

Sam said as if he is saying nothing wrong.

"What did you see?" Sam asked as he concentrated on her breath and heartbeat. He wanted to see if she is lying.

"I don't have time to see your face. I only got to see your scars and tattoo. You reacted too fast." She said. Sam found no signs of lying, but he is still a bit suspicious. He slowly released her from his grip and said.

"I don't care if you saw me or not. If my secret is out after we leave this palace, I only have you as my suspect. I would come for you and take your life myself."

With that, he went back to his formation.

The Monkey king heard the whole thing and was a bit amused.

Sam healed himself and went back onto the stage, the remaining candidates already lost twice already.

They don't want to give up that early though. They still want to put up a fight.

They are trying so hard to replicate the technique.

Sam closed his eyes before he climbed the platform. He wanted to memorize the energy wave when the monkey king attacked.

He is confident that once he could get the hang and rhythm of the energy waves, he can replicate the attack. Because he has an inherent advantage compared to others. His spiritual core abilities, observe and manipulate.

He is confident that if he can use the manipulate ability and observe the ability to make sure that he is following the correct flow, he can replicate the attack.

He didn't use this staff at this moment. He wanted to try fists first before he could go to staff.

He once again fed his spiritual energy to his muscles and remembered the monkey king's words from earlier and tried to contract the muscle fibers together so that they have much more collective strength.

His body is not as buff as before. The monkey king raised an eyebrow. He waved his hand and raised a barrier and said.

"What are you so afraid of? Trying so hard to hide like that. Who are you trying to hide from?"

The monkey king asked him.

"I am not as talented as you Monkey king. Not everyone can teach jade emperor a lesson whenever they want. I am not as talented as you, so to protect myself, I have to stay low profile."

The Monkey King is surprised for a second and said.

"So you are originally from the earth. Huh. You must have some serious talents for the gambler to consider to take you from that place. After all, the spiritual energy of that place is dried up."

"You have to see that for yourself."

Sam said with a smile and made his move.

This time, he closed his eyes and started to get a feel for the spiritual energy as it passed through the muscles, monkey king, who is standing in front of him didn't make a move immediately. Sam is trying to use Void style. He wants to see what is going to happen.

Sam started manipulating spiritual energy. His mental strength is taking a toll due to this. But he endured it. After continuous usage, his body and brain will get used to this and he wouldn't have to use manipulation to forcefully do this.

Then he doesn't have to endure this stress.

As Sam let the energy flow, she started to get a feel of what is happening in his body and threw a punch straight at the monkey king.

*BOOM*

An intense explosion sounded and Sam felt an excruciating pain in his hand. He opened his eyes only to see that the monkey king has slid back a little. But his arm which is still extended was torn. All the muscle fibers were torn open and they are bleeding, he can even see the bones of the fingers as the skin completely disappeared.

Sam didn't shout, but gritted his teeth and endured all of it. The Monkey king relaxed, but at this moment, Sam made his move, he jumped in and threw his left hand. He connected directly as he caught the opponent off guard.

*BOOM* an explosion occurred and Sam first time saw a crack on the golden statue.

But the crack is so minute that it didn't take even a minute to heal.

"So, you can bleed too?" Sam said with a smile. His left hand was also wasted, but he is more ecstatic that he was able to land a hit on the monkey king and cause some damage.

The Monkey King looked at him and said. "Maybe if it was my true body when I was nascent, then I should probably have bled for real."

Sam shook his head and went down the platform after the barrier was taken down.

Everyone was stunned once again.

Sam's two hands are hanging down with blood. He left two trails of blood when he went back to the tree.

Then they looked at the monkey king who is still looking at Sam with a curious expression.
