His gaze landed on Blue Fire and Zeke, he waved at them and the duo waved back.

Then only he looked at the instructor and greeted him.

"Hello, Regiment Commander Jian."

"Hello, Jim. What are you doing here? Is there no training in the Thunder Wolf Squad?" Instructor didn't seem to mind his attitude at all.

When the candidates heard the words Thunder Wolf Squad, they couldn't help but feel the unwavering admiration, well not all of them at least ninety of them.

The young man whose name is Jim is only a Peak stage Novice and he seemed to be in his early twenties.

When compared to the other candidates, their talent is around same level, but the Thunder Wolf Squad's Halo is making him look like he is above his peers and not all of them could see through that Halo.

Jim looked at Jian and said.

"Well, I heard that Teacher's (General Spark) Grand sons came to the city and are the part of this batch, so I came to greet them. If you don't mind, I want to talk to them for a bit."

Even though, his words were like seeking permission, his tone of voice is saying otherwise.

Instructor Jian, just nodded with a smile albeit a bit forced. Zeke and Blue fire walked out and the three of them walked a few yards a away as they talked.

Jim looked at the batch from time to time and Sam could feel his condescending gaze landing on him.

After a few minutes, Zeke and Blue fire merged back into the group, while Jim talked to Jian privately.

Before leaving, he shot a gaze full of mischievous glint towards Sam.

Sam knew at once that trouble has come knocking.

And his guess was right, Jian looked at Sam with some hesitation before announcing to the group.

"For the first three days, I will select the company commanders. Zeke and Sam step forward."

Everyone immediately fell silent; they didn't understand why the instructor suddenly changed his decision.

But they didn't dare to talk back even though they are a little unsatisfied.

Sam also didn't say anything and just stepped forward.

The Instructor said.

"You both will be the company commanders for the next three days. You are responsible for monitoring the training and controlling your whole company, you can decide on how the squads will be divided and who would be the squad captains.

You are the only one responsible for your teams."

After the announcement was over, Sam let them divide themselves as the squads on their own. He is not particularly interested, but he did do his job by solving some conflicts on squad leaders and their training requirements.

There are many types of training facilities, target practices, close combat practice, arena, dodging practice. They are plenty.

Sam looked through the info regarding their powers and started making the schedule for their training. After all, not all of them can practice at the same time.

After divulging everything, he was about to go to his training, but suddenly he heard a shout.

"Sam."

Jian shouted on top of his lungs, to let the whole batch stop their activities in the middle and looked at him.

Sam walked towards him with his back straight as he looked at Jian, he didn't expect that they would trouble him so desperately. But he still kept his patience.

He decided that he would not, do anything for the first fifteen days, he would see how far they want to go.

But these guys are even more desperate than he thought.

Jian said in a strict voice.

"Sam, your subordinate is idling and sat under the tree there, what are you doing without checking on him." He said as he pointed at the tree.

There, Sam saw a person standing with his spear in his hand as he closed his eyes while facing the tree.

He is a wood element Warrior mage, everyone with some expertise could see that he is trying to practice something special just from the activity of the spiritual energy around him.

But the instructor who is a Grand Realm cultivator is saying that he is idling around.

Sam didn't answer as he just looked at the instructor with a cold gaze.

"Due to your incompetence, minus five points." Sam didn't say anything and just left the place, but for the whole day he was being called out and being rebuked under the gazes of all the candidates.

"SAM… Minus 3 points"

"SAM… Minus 6 points."

"SAM… Minus 8 points."

Sam kept on hearing these words for the rest of the day.

At first, the candidates thought that Sam did really make mistake, but later they understood something was off.

When they thought of how, instructor changed his mind after Jim came and how he appointed Sam as company commander and then kept on targeting him, they connected the dots and came to a conclusion.

Sam is being targeted. But they are curious on who did he piss off so much to be targeted like this.

After the whole day��s routine was over, Sam was about to go to his tent along with Hawk and Drew, but that doesn't seem to be so easy.

But this time, Sam is not the target but Hawk and Drew.

A soldier came out of nowhere and challenged Hawk. Leaving the latter in a battered state after the spar.

Sam looked for medical help but that didn't go as planned.

"What is wrong?" Sam asked the in charge of the infirmary.

"Healers are busy." This is the only response; Sam has gotten in return.

He couldn't do anything but carry Hawk inside the tent and heal him. Because, he has to be ready for the next day's routine.

But before he could do anything, Drew was challenged.

"I heard you are a swordsman, let me take a look at those skills."

"As you wish."

Both of them started sparring, as expected the soldier who came is of higher level than Drew.

But the worst part is that he was not even being given a chance to admit defeat.

And for the whole night, Sam kept on assembling their bones and fixing their bodies.

Even the candidates were a little troubled, they didn't like how the instructor is troubling Sam that much. He lost more than 35 points in three days.

The same thing happened for the three days and after the instructor changed and the new instructor was about to take charge and just when everyone thought that things go to normal, the candidates were surprised.

Because, another person with Thunder Wolf squad's uniform came.

Sam didn't know what to do. He could only shake his head as he looked at the instructor.

All the candidates have a weird sense of dejavu. They could see that Sam is not going to have any good time soon.

The same things repeated time and time again.

But the instructors didn't go overboard as Instructor Jian.

They acted a bit mildly in the aspect of reducing points but for the rebukes and scolding along with the shaming and insulting are on full swing. But they still lost around 80 points.

For the first fourteen days, Sam, Hawk, Drew went through a lot. The latter two took a beating and it is almost every day.

On fourteenth day night, Sam is healing Hawk and Drew.

Blue fire came into the tent and said to both of them.

"You guys would save a lot of trouble if you distance with him. Even though, it is late for you to get out of the team, I would arrange you two be soldiers or I can even give you a chance to get into the Marquis academy. You better think carefully."

Sam looked at the two of them.

For the past two weeks, they didn't say a single thing. They just took the beatings and even though they won some battles it didn't make much difference.

"You know what, his suggestion is not that bad." Sam said casually.

Hawk just chuckled and said.

"Well, we are here mostly because of your help, even if I believe I can make the cut, I am not too sure of it. You helped us before, how could we just leave you because you are in a bit trouble."

"Yeah, and this whole thing came from Zeke, even if you haven't found a problem with him, I would have done so. Then I would have been in same situation." Drew said from the side.

Sam just shook his head and said.

"Anyway, rest well, we have a break tomorrow we would see what is happening outside. I will think of way to get rid of these troubles after seeing the outside situation."

Chapter 149: Oppression-2.... 15 days of business struggles

For the first fifteen days, just like how Sam's trio faced the trouble inside the camp, his teammates are also having quite hard time inside the city.

They looked for the shops for three more days, but no amount of money is making them cut a successful deal. So, all they can do is go back to Nicholas.

"I am really sorry that you are going through this. I will talk to my father to look into it." Nicholas said to Watt.

Even he felt like the General Spark is going overboard. He is bending so many rules just to get back at a young man.

"Thanks." Watt didn't say much and they finished the deal.

After they looked at the small piece of land, Watt is thinking on how to deal with it.

"Let's go to the Artisan tower."

Philip said and four of them went to the tower.

Even though, it is difficult for them to find the high ranked Artisan, Watt was still remembered by the receptionist as Sam's subordinate of the Young Artisan. So, she immediately satisfied his requests.

There are two things they had to do.

"Watt, you communicate with Blue Flame city's Artisan tower and ask Chaya to send Mackey here. From the situation here, it would be hard for us to hire any employees. As him to bring his whole team here."

"Kelly, you communicate with a Rank-4 Architecture Artisan, I will go to Golden-Horse trading to see if we can arrange a faster transportation for Mackey and his followers."

Philip gave them some directions and went outside.

Right now, their main problem is not money at all. Sam gave them around thirty million spirit stones and they can afford to spend.

When Philip went outside, Kelly went to meet the tower head of the Artisan tower along with Watt.

Because, he is the only one who has permission to let others access the tower communication for another city.

They saw the Rank 5 badge on the middle-aged man's chest who is checking some material. He is a weapon artisan.

Yes, the tower head of this city is also a Rank 5. But what is the difference between him and Chaya? It is the number of stars. If you remember, in the beginning when Sam took the weapon Artisan exam his badge has nine stars below his rank.

These stars indicate the skill level. As an inferior city, Chaya's is a Rank 5 one star where this man is Rank 5 seven stars.

In the lower levels the stars won't make much difference, but as the rank grew the stars make a lot of difference.

"I heard that you are friends of Rank 5 Scholar Artisan Sam. May I know why you are here?"

He asked as soon as they entered the room.

"We would like to communicate with Blue flame Artisan tower."

"Why?"

"Well, this is the situation…"

Kelly went on explained the whole situation. When it was all done, the middle-aged man said.

"I heard about Artisan Sam from Chaya and from what I know, he has some keen interest in materials that are not popular. You know, we have a lot of space-jade in our tower. Do you guys know if he is interested?"

The middle-aged man said. From his words one could clearly tell he is trying to take advantage of the situation.

After all, the space jade is one of the least popular materials, but they still have to collect according to regulations of the Artisan tower. So, he can only find a way to get rid of them.

"Sure."

Watt immediately replied.

The middle-aged man laughed lightly and led them to the communication room.

When they are done there, both of them went back to hire an Architecture Artisan.

They took the man to their land and explained how they would like the construction.

Philip met them up there informing that they could get a Level 4 beasts for transporting Mackey and his employees, but the cost is a bit high.

The Fire wing eagles, except for Marquis' the rest are Peak of Level 3.

So, they can expect the journey to be done within a few days.

The Construction of the place went pretty smoothly. Nobody dared to make any moves on them as the work was under the Artisan tower.

So, even general has to think before he does something.

In a week, the construction was done and even Mackey and his team came.

When the construction was done, they went to the tower to settle down the bills, they bought all the space jade which was worth more than two million spirit stones.

And for Space Jade, it is quite large quantity.

But they have to decide on one more thing.

How to make it popular?

They have to make this place known and after thinking long and hard, Philip has only one idea and that is to attract them with the word 'Free'.

So, the four of them started gathering beast meat in morning and most of it was by hunting and at night, they started making fliers by hand.

For the next four days, they kept on distributing the fliers. Watt floated over the city as he gave one to every person he saw.

There is only thing on the flier.

"Free food made of Magical beast meat for three days." Along with location of their restaurant.

The word spread like wild fire in the city and they attracted a lot of people. Many people visited at first for curiosity and for confirmation if the info is right and they were not disappointed.

So, on the eleventh day, the grand opening of the restaurant was done in a majestic way. Hundreds of people came to taste the food.

When they tasted it; they were delighted.

Until the day thirteenth, Mackey and his staff were very busy and so were Watt, Jack, Kelly and Philip. The first three were hunting and buying meat from the hands of hunters directly in the woods.

Because, they were unable to buy any in the city.

Philip is busy managing the flow of customers. He even saw some candidates who came to test the waters and they were really worried after tasting the dishes. They are delicious.

The day fourteenth was their official opening for the business and many customers still came. They could feel the effects of the dishes immediately and many of them really liked the food and they even have a chance to exchange the food for the raw meat.

So, they were really excited to eat again.

"*Phew* This is the big day. I hope everything goes alright."

Philip said as he sighed. His palms are sweating. He is clearly nervous and serious. No one has seen him this serious before.

"I hope so too." Everyone has gone through a lot in these days. The constant rejection has almost made them lose their mind. They are cursing the general so much that if the words could kill, the general would definitely die a hundred times.

When the business started, they were clearly happy. Because, the flow of customers is quite high. By afternoon, they recovered all the expenses on buying the ingredients for the past three days of free food and by evening they were clearly satisfied.

Judging from the customers reaction, the business will be going quite well in the future and at this rate all their losses will be covered within a month.

So, the next day which is also the first fifteenth day, they opened the place quite hopefully.

But as soon as they started the business and the customer flow was at its peak, a problem came knocking.

A bunch of men came with menacing expressions.

"Who is in charge here?"

The leader who seemed to have a scar on his face asked.

Philip walked to them with a frown with Watt on his side and asked.

"What do you want?"

"Who gave you the permission to open a restaurant here?"

The man in the lead asked.

"The Duke." Philip said and took out a piece of paper with Duke's seal.

This is the permission exclusive for the candidates.

The man didn't even bother to take a look and just said.

"Whatever, you have to pay the protection fee, of you want to do any business here."

Philip frowned. But he asked.

"How much?"

"100,000. Per month."

Philip and Watt immediately became solemn. Because of the huge amount. It is not that they cannot afford it, but Philip has bad feeling that this might be another ploy from General. If the men really did work for General, they might use this money as leverage and make up a story for bribery.

Watt didn't stay here and immediately moved outside on Silver wind. He went to look for city guards.

Even though, they can fight off these guys, according to the rules, fighting in the city is prohibited and they need a valid reason if the fight broke out.

But if this is all a ploy, which has highest probability of being one, they didn't feel safe about taking action.

But Watt didn't find any city guards in the vicinity. The situation smelled more and more fishy.

When he went back to the restaurant, the situation already turned to worse.

The men who came in started destroying the tables because, Philip was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Before he could retaliate, they already attacked randomly and started running away. This made them believe even more that this is a ploy.

Their business got disrupted and after another hour, when they started settling things, another wave of people came.

This time, they are prepared. Watt and Jack blocked their retreat while Philip attacked from the front.

Just as they were about to land an attack.

"Stop right there."

A middle-aged man immediately came. He is one of the supervisors of the Business side of the competition, he didn't even bother to ask, what is going on and said to Philip.

"You guys are trying to fight here, Minus 10 points."

"But Sir…" Philip tried to talk but was immediately cut off.

"I saw everything and I don���t want to listen to your explanation." The supervisor immediately left.

Philip, Jack and Kelly immediately felt dejected. They can now understand that they cannot do a proper business here. Only Watt is a bit normal, because Boss said that he would sort things out.

Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 150: Suspending the business

While Philip and the rest are dealing with the damage of the restaurant, Sam and the remaining candidates in the military are having a morning assembly before their departure outside.

"You guys can stay outside for the remaining day and you have to report back before dawn tomorrow. I will be your trainer for the next three days in the next fifteen days session.

One more rule you have to follow is that you have no permission to intervene in the business side of things, you can give suggestions to your teammates but you shouldn't perform any trade which will be calculated in the competition or you shouldn't help them in forms of negotiations.

The most you can do is financial help and personal suggestions and some advice.

Dismissed."

All the candidates exited the camp.

Sam took out the communication token to contact Watt.

When he got the location of the restaurant, the trio went there as fast as they can.

By the time they got there, there are no customers. Everyone left, only his teammates and Watt are sitting there with the gloomy atmosphere.

Sam was not that surprised by the situation. He casually picked a seat and asked.

"Tell me the details on what happened since the day one."

Watt slowly narrated everything on how, they were unable to buy or rent any shop, on how they finally bought the land in this remote location and how they built the shop and bringing back Mackey and his staff.

Sam listened to the whole situation and just showed his assent that he understood.

"Let us go back to the Estate."

Sam said and stood up. They walked back to the estate slowly. On the way back he observed the situation of the market and how the things or going on here.

One thing, he observed is that in this city, the average person can be considered as well-to-do than poor. They can afford a considerable luxury.

He is thinking on how to use this to his advantage.

Many people might be thinking that his team might be at a disadvantage for now, but he can make sure that it is only a temporary thing.

He has enough confidence that he can turn his tables around.

All the way back, Sam could feel a gaze on him. He knew that the General put a man to keep a watch on him.

One mistake and he would be done.

The General is behaving completely beneath his title. He is using all kinds of despicable means by bending all kinds of rules.

Sam just wanted to test waters and didn't take any measures in the first fifteen days, since they are trying so desperately, he would make sure that he would win.

Since, the military general himself is making it hard for him, he would earn all the money from the military itself.

This time, Sam also dashed out one of his self-made rules and that is not making the fire-arms and explosives.

Since, he came to this world, he met so many people that he wanted to make the fire-arms many times, even though a normal gun won't be of much use, he can use the materials exclusive to this world and make it possible to make a weapon which could make some serious damage.

There are two main reasons he didn't want to create these.

First one is that, a gun is one of the inventions on earth which brought many changes to the world and he didn't want to bring that thing into this world. That thing can give someone the unfounded courage and guts which they actually don't have.

If it was landed in wrong hands, things would be disastrous. All this while, the people in this world depended on their abilities to kill and everything they had depended on their abilities to achieve. But if guns pose same level of lethality as in his previous world, things would change because the control over people's death in this world is less.

Even though, he could control the exposure of the weapon, he didn't want to take a chance. But he slowly lost the compassion to the people in this world after spending all this time and meeting these people.

The second reason is, guns are too addictive to him.

Towards Cold weapon, Sam has endless adoration and admiration along with respect. For him, all kinds of cold weapons they might be some swords, spears, claws etc. They are like true love. Using them is like having a better half.

You would be going through all kinds of tribulations with them and them being with you will give you courage and satisfaction at the same time. It is like having a wife.

But guns and explosives. They are like a mistress. Using for satisfying the carnal desires like animals, without involving many emotions and just using it for some temporary satisfaction for some specific times. There are no strings attached. He can never replace a sword's position in his heart, if he made one himself.

But guns are different. Every gun is a different kind of vixen, he likes to enjoy the satisfaction of using one and he doesn't get attached to it emotionally except if those guns are really, really special ones. But the problem is one can get addicted to the vixens and desire to enjoy the pleasure repeatedly.

If he starts shooting, he will desire to enjoy to his heart's content.

At first, he didn't have that many enemies. But now, he is gaining more and more people on his hostile side and having these guns might be helpful.

But before making some for his personal use, he will make some average shooting devices to make some quick cash.

If doesn't make the military bleed some money and blood for what they did to him and his teammates, he will can't sleep peacefully.

For these fifteen days, his patience is stretched thin and he almost broke several times.

Now that he knew the extent of the other party's determination to hinder him, he could shed all his cordiality.

Right now, he is full of evil intent. If not for the fact that he is not strong enough and he personally wants to teach the general a lesson with brute force, he would be with his shadow mice on his way to deal with that Old man.

He is at his breaking point. One more push and he would make designs to kill that general. His team lost almost hundred points without even doing anything.

After entering the estate, Sam sent everyone to the mansion while he stayed outside as he looked at the impact crystal.

He has some ideas on how to use these 'worthless' things to make some money out of the military. Not only for now, but also for a near future. And he can save the best for himself.

Before that, he has to do something and that is to extract the crystal.

The main problem of these crystals is that extracting them is actually quite difficult.

These crystals are just like piezoelectric materials from the modern earth. Those piezoelectric materials use the mechanical vibrations and convert them to electric energy.

But these impact crystals can change any kind of physical force acting on it, the kinetic energy, the strong impact of wind force, the water force, even the pure impact strike of normal physical force which makes it absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.

After the spiritual energy reaches the crystal's limit, it would explode and completely disintegrates into the thing air if it didn't find a proper outlet.

There is only one way to extract the crystal and that is to melt it with a high temperature fire and collect it when it is in the liquid state.

This is the most feasible method and if there are any other methods and that is to collect the whole part of the earth as one and throw it away which is almost impossible

Sam placed his hand on one of the crystal protrusions which is as tall as a tree. He started using his observation ability and he is handling the spiritual energy so delicately so that it would not absorb any of it.

He is trying to probe the whole dept of it and when he was finally done, he was stunned.

The impact crystal occupied almost more than twenty meters below the surface. This will make this whole place a large pit after extracting the whole crystal.

And the whole estate is of 1000 acres that is a whole lot of impact crystals. And he is planning to make it into a whole lot of money.

He started making is preparations. His main advantage is that he has an unlimited access to the Artisan tower.

That is more than enough for his plans.

He went inside the house and entered his personal room and then entered the divine dimension's second floor, his time is a lot valuable now. He has to report back to the camp before morning.

First, he imagined the design of the product inside his head and then after that he simulated everything in the second floor's simulation mode. After more than twenty trail and errors, he finally got the satisfied result.

Sam took out some scrolls and started drawing his new design. The design is mainly of various dies for the hand press. For his next plans, he would need a lot of casings, which in turn requires a lot of dies.

After making some required dies and moulds, he went to the basement and started taking out the equipment which his teammates would use in near future.

He gave the scrolls and a list of materials which they would need to Watt. Along with that, he wrote a letter along with his spiritual signature and his Artisan badge. With this, Watt's words would be equal to his and there is no way that he cannot buy these things from the Artisan tower.

He sent Watt while he went to the yard.

He has to collect the crystals with his own methods and that is powder disintegration.

Sam closed his eyes and started his operation from near his hard. Since, the melting point of this crystal is quite high, it would be quite troublesome for him to do the regular method, it is still a little earlier than after noon.

If he can use this time, he can clear off several yards before the reporting time.

Sam placed his hands on the crystal and started turning it into the powder, while throwing the powder directly into the storage.

Since the crystal structure is not that complicated and the crystal properties are mostly due to its molecular nature instead of granular structure, he has not qualms on turning it into powder.

So, for the whole day, Sam just cleared the space around his mansion.

He even ate while doing so, and even after Watt came back with the required material, he called up on his teammates of the business side and explained the procedure on how to operate the machines to them while clearing the crystal.

Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 151: Retaliation

Sam is concentrating on his work in the evening. He cleared more than 60 square yards by now and if he continues on with this, he can clear more than 120 square yards by morning.

Right now, there is a ten meters deep pit which extended for 60 square yards behind the mansion.

After working until now, he came to a conclusion, if he improves his mental strength, he can finish the work faster. So, he decided that he would cultivate his mental strength for the next fifteen days.

As for the hindrances from the instructors and the Thunder Wolf Squad, he already sorted his thoughts and from tomorrow onwards, the people who would be walking on egg shells would not be Sam and his teammates.

At this moment Philip, Watt, Kelly and Jack came to him. The things he needed were already manufactured by the Artisan tower and even the materials have been brought.

So, now he has to delegate the work for these four.

"Don't worry about doing business anymore. Just stay in the Estate and start manufacturing, what I told you to do. Make as many as possible.

Philip, Kelly. Since, you both have fire element, try to clear the impact crystal as much as you can in the free time, but don't focus on it too much. Your primary job for now is manufacturing the things I asked.

Make sure the dimensions[measurements] don't change and be as precise as possible.

Make as many as possible for the next two weeks and I will bring them back to the camp with me to assemble them.

Since, they shed all the cordiality with us, we don't have to care for their opinions. I will make them regret ever provoking us."

After that, he explained their duties and sent them to start immediately. All this while he didn't stop clearing the crystal.

By midnight, Sam noticed something, constant mental exhaustion and recovery, he noticed a slight improvement in his mental strength which is the only good news in the past few days.

After sometime, Sam has a sudden thought.

'Since, I don't need all of it in the powder form, will be possible to remove a big chunk of it by disintegrating the bond with the remaining crystal?' This question popped up in his head and he immediately took action.

And when he knew that it is possible, he was ecstatic. His process is faster now, as for making the chunks into powder for later use, he can do that when he is working with them, until that point, he doesn't have to worry about it.

He can even turn it into powder when he is idling at the camp at night.

By midnight, Sam already cleared more than 120 yards. After working for two more hours, he stopped everything and went to take rest.

If he is mentally frustrated due to overwork, he might act rashly in the camp. He already has a plan and has to deal with it with some rationality, even though he would let loose and blow off of some steam, he still shouldn't completely go berserk.

But Sam is still worried about how to deal with this crystal.

The whole estate is around 1000 acres out of which around 700 acres is full of crystal and for the remaining

1 acre is 4840 square yards and now 700 acres is 338,800 square yards and now he was only done with 150 square yards.

Even though, he had found a more efficient way to deal with this, he still has to work a lot. By his estimation in his current state, Sam can clear around 600 yards if he worked in the same pace and that is not wasting any time at all.

He can do so twice a month and which makes 1200 yards for a month and in total he can only deal with 9600 yards in eight months around 2 acres.

He cannot let this happen; he has to think of way to deal with this as fast as possible. He needs at least 500 acres of land for his plan to work and he also needs to assign some work after clearing some land so that the construction process will work as soon as possible.

Sam took rest for another two hours and along with Hawk and Drew who had a peaceful sleep in a long time.

They reported without any delay and the instructor didn't find any fault with them. After the early morning routine is over, Sam went to find someone.

From today onwards, he was done with being defensive. That General Spark may love his grandsons as much as he can and he can spoil them as much as he can, but to do that on expense of Sam and his teammates, the general should think of the consequences.

Since, the other party used the loop holes of the competition to make a move on him and oppressed him with the involving the thunder wolf squad and even the regiment commanders, he can do the same.

Sam cannot vent his anger of the General directly, but he can still do so on the people who got involved.

Is it unfair?

Hell no, if it is unfair, then oppressing Philip, Hawk and others just because they teamed up with Sam is also unfair. The General's reasoning is that they can only blame themselves for being with Sam.

So, Sam is also using the same reasoning. You can only blame yourself for helping the General.

Sam went to find a person and that is the Deputy General who refused to say his name.

"Instructor, May I come in?"

Sam asked as he stood up outside the tent.

"Come in."

Sam walked inside and looked at the Deputy General who is sitting behind a table as he examined Sam.

"What do you want?"

"I want to talk to you about something."

"Is it about you being oppressed by the instructors? If it is, I am sorry, I cannot force them to do anything, even after all the things they did to you, it can only be considered being biased and I cannot force their bias out of their heads. They played within the rules; I cannot take action."

"Actually, no. I have two requests. First one, I am here to request you to give me permission to halt the training for the day, so that I can challenge some people."

Deputy General, raised an eyebrow as he asked.

"Why do you need a day off for a challenge?"

"I won't need a day off if I have to challenge a single person, but I have multiple opponents."

Deputy general seemed intrigued and said.

"Granted. What is the other request?"

"I want you to supervise my challenges."

"Do you think that you are worthy enough for my supervision? Fights of your level won't need me to look after." His words are rather arrogantly spoken and one could smell the pride from the voice. But Sam didn't take offense.

That type of arrogance is not inborn, rather it was cultivated on the basis of countless accomplishments, nobody has a right to point a finger at a person like that.

"How are so sure that they are not worthy? Besides, literally the whole military is against me. I cannot trust anyone except you."

Deputy General didn't know how to reply to those words and said after some contemplation.

"I will give you, half-an-hour. If your fights seem unworthy after that, I will leave."

Sam smiled and said.

"Sure. You won't be disappointed. Shall we go now?" Deputy general nodded and followed Sam out of the tent.

In actual fact, he cannot be bothered with some common duels involving a Novice.

But seeing Sam's confidence and analysing his situation, if Sam really provoked a soldier from a regiment even if he won, the remaining people will take it out on him by continuously challenging him.

And even that Regiment commander will take it out on him. Judging from the records his team already lost 100 points, this would actually become even more worse.

But seeing Sam's confidence, he was intrigued. He wants to see how this boy will resolve the situation.

Soon, they are in front of the fifth regiment camp. The regiment their current instructor is in charge of.

As soon as they entered the camp, everyone is looking at the Deputy General who is walking beside a boy who is wearing a rookie soldier uniform. They are feeling peculiar.

A regiment has three thousand members and more than sixty percent of them are Novices, the acolytes wouldn't make the cut in the Dukedom army.

So, the novices occupy the most part. And among those 1800 or so Novices, 800 of them might be at Middle and Late stages.

Sam's target are those people.

He slowly strode towards the Arena of the challenges and looked at the camp.

This action gathered the attention of many people and slowly the crowd started growing. When he thought that he had enough audience, Sam shouted in a voice loud enough for the whole camp to listen.

"I am Sam from the special batch who is undergoing the competition. Today, I am here to challenge the Novices from the fifth regiment.

From what I know, there are 1800 Novices in this regiment and I am here to challenge all of them. Th

For every fight I lose, I will give ten thousand spirit stones to the winner and if the other party is a team, I will pay ten thousand for each of them

For every fight I win, I will collect five thousand from the losers, and if a team loses, I will take five thousand for each member."

The whole camp was stunned. They didn't expect that someone will come to their camp and challenge them like that.

If it was a normal challenge, they might want to back out, since they weren't challenged individually. But the bait if wealth is quite tempting.

Some of the soldiers recognised Sam. They are the ones who challenged Drew and Hawk. One of them asked.

"What is your goal here?" He knew that Sam is being troubled by their commander, so he wouldn't come here for no reason or just to make some quick cash.

"I think that the might of Southern Star military is overrated. I want to prove my point by cleaning up all the Novice trash here. After all, this military can only use the loop holes to make trouble for me and my friends. So, I am here to prove my point right."

The soldiers immediately became angry.

Chapter 152: Trash Talking

"How dare you?"

"Do you think you can walk alive from here after saying those things?"

"You must be having a death wish."

"I will kill you."

The soldiers started shouting at him, but Sam just scanned the crowd and said.

"Are we talking or are we fighting?

Prove me wrong if you have guts. Our Deputy General will be the supervisor of the match. I will take as many challenges as you can give. I am not getting out of here until I clean up the trash of fifth regiment."

Sam's words only provoked them, even more.

"You little shit, I will take you on." One of the guys said as he walked onto the stage. Deputy general stood at the supervisor's spot near the stage.

Sam and the soldier took the positions.

"Are you guys ready?" Deputy General asked both of them and when both of them nodded, he said.

"Fight."

As soon as his voice faded, the soldier picked up his spear and lunged towards Sam. He is a Level 8 Novice. His speed is not bad.

Below the stage.

"Come on brother, show them what a soldier is."

"Teach him a lesson."

"Yes, how dare he look down on us soldiers and our military."

They are encouraging him with loud shouts.

Sam didn't care about the jeers and cheers and he didn't even move even when the spear was just a foot away from him.

Just before the spear was about to touch his neck, Sam made his move.

He moved in a blur and before anyone could react what is happening, they heard a slam and a crack.

Before they knew it, all they saw is Sam holding the neck of the soldier and the head of the soldier is nailed down on the arena as if it was a crater falling from the sky.

The crowd grew silent. The Soldier isn't dead, but he is feeling dizzy and powerless.

Sam slowly stood up and clapped the dust away from his hands.

The soldier slowly stood up with the support of his spear, he looked at the deputy general and said weekly.

"I surrender."

His voice is as weak as it can be. He took out the spirit stones from his spatial ring and threw them into the pile of spirit stones.

Even though, he lost, he is not a sore loser, he still has dignity of a soldier and paid the wager.

He stepped down the stage and tried to walk towards his tent, but after taking two steps, he fainted unconscious and his nose started bleeding.

A Healer immediately tried to stabilize his condition, after some trails, he said to a man nearby.

"He needs a level 4 Healer to recover completely."

The man seemed to be the company commander or the battalion commander, his colleagues are showing him quite the respect.

But Sam is having none of it.

"Are you guys going to come or not? I don't have much time to waste on pieces of trash like you."

The crowd was provoked again. But nobody entered the stage boldly. Sam pointed at a person and said.

"You, come up. I challenge you." This guy immediately became tense. He is one of the few people who knew why Sam is doing this. Their commander is the one who provoked this madman first and he is one of the close accomplices who beat up this guy's teammates.

So, he is really afraid. He even has some thoughts of backing out, and if the deputy general is not here and the supervisor is from their regiment, he could have done so by explaining the situation in secret and kicking Sam out of their camp.

But Sam brought the Deputy General and breaking rules in front of him is akin to courting death.

He slowly walked up and he decided in his mind. He would initiate the attack and if he couldn't get the upper hand, he would just surrender.

"Fight."

As soon as they heard the command, he was about to move but this time Sam didn't stay passive. He made the first move.

He kicked of his feet and vanished from his spot before mysteriously coming in front of the soldier and threw a punch at the lower jaw.

*Crack* The silent crowd can hear the joint at the jaw breaking.

The soldier immediately got ready to surrender but his lower jaw is not moving and all he can say is some incomprehensible sounds.

Now, he understood why Sam hit his jaw. He is not even giving him a chance to surrender, before he could swallow the regret of provoking this madman, Sam held the neck of this guy under his arm and started hitting him on back.

The bones on the back started shattering and even his spine broke into several pieces.

Sam threw the limp body to away before he took away the spatial ring. He took out the 5000 spirit stones and threw the ring back at him.

The soldiers got cold feet, nobody even dared to look at Sam, they are all wondering why he is doing this to their regiment, who provoked him exactly?

At this moment, one of the soldiers who gave Hawk a beating before went out of the crowd and ran towards Sam's camp. The current instructor is the regiment commander of the fifth regiment.

Sam saw this action but didn't stop him, the instructor also needs to see what are the consequences of provoking him.

He wants to punish Sam to suck up to some superior, then he has to pay the price with will and strength of his subordinates, today Sam has only one motive.

He has to kill the morale of the whole fifth regiment and he has to kill the morale of the remaining regiments one by one within these fifteen days.

He will cripple the entire army of its novices. He would see how general would like if Sam played by the rules just like him.

Sam looked at the crowd and when everyone was turning their gazes away, he walked towards the end of the stage and threw a handful of spirit stones at the crowd.

"Take this money buy some beautiful female clothes."

He took out another handful of stones and threw them before saying.

"Take this money and buy some cosmetics.

You call yourselves men. Bullshit. No wonder even your general has to resort to some despicable means to have his grandson's back. Like superior like subordinates. Pieces of shit."

He is clearly provoking them and he is intent on doing so. He would do so with all his might.

Sam himself is not so compassionate by nature.

And these guys are provoking for the past fifteen days finding fault for his every move. Even his teammates outside are having a hard time, if he doesn't teach them a lesson now, they will go overboard.

As for these Novices, who is going to lose their will, they should blame themselves for having such superior.

Sam's words truly infuriated the crowd and a man immediately came up to the stage. He knew that he cannot win, but he only has one thought, he would at least hit Sam before getting defeated. But before he could make his move, Sam said.

"Take out the money first. It is hard for me to take it myself." Even though, the man was infuriated, he didn't show it on his face. He took out the spirit stones and made a small pile on the side of the stage.

Then he turned towards Sam, even before Deputy General commenced the fight, he leapt towards Sam head on.

His moves are forceful and suicidal. He didn't care about the injuries, all he cared for was to get a single hit on Sam.

But his hopes were dashed.

Sam threw a wind blade on the man, making a huge gash on his chest. This caught the soldier by surprise.

Before he could realise, Sam is already in front of him and he started slapping the soldier continuously.

"You want to try kamikaze with me?

*Pah* *Pah* *Pah* *Pah*

You can do so in your dreams. What a trash? You call yourselves soldiers. The enemy must also be extremely weak since they can't even beat some trash like you."

Sam is not even sparing them a shred of dignity. He is making them lose in such a pathetic state.

After making his face a pig head and breaking several facial bones, Sam threw him towards the crowd like a trash bag.

"Next." He shouted loud and clear.

Another soldier came to the stage and said.

"Can we just duel without wager?" He asked. After all, they are already losing and they have very little hope unless the company commanders make a move. But losing their money which equals their growth is even more painful.

"Do you think that my time is that cheap? The all-powerful Southern Star military cannot even take out some money as wager? What a waste of time? I wonder why Duke even let us come here to train."

"You don't have to be like that. You could just say that you won't agree. Must you put us down like that?" The soldier felt his face burning.

A young man is making this light of us and they cannot do anything because of the supervisor present. If the deputy general is not there, one must wonder how they would have dealt with him.

The soldier took out the money and threw them into the pile. Just like the previous one, he was beaten to brink of unconsciousness.

After throwing this guy out, Sam was about to call another one when an infuriated shout came from a distance.

"SAM."

Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 153: Unfair Challenge

Without even turning his head, Sam could guess who other party was. It is the Regiment commander of the fifth regiment.

At first, he was happy that Sam is not there for training, he felt that he could use a legitimate reason to cut some points for the first time, but when a soldier from his regiment came forward and explained the situation, he immediately became angry and agitated.

He didn't expect that Sam would retaliate like this.

"Sam, how dare you put down the soldiers of the Southern Star military and injure him like that? You seemed to have forgotten that you are also part of this military now. From this point alone you could be branded as traitor and executed."

Sam didn't even bother to reply and only looked at the Deputy General. He wants to see the latter's reaction and since the other party is as calm as ever, he spoke to the Regiment commander.

"It is not if what I say is true. I am here and fought four duels and won all of them without breaking a sweat. Trash is trash, no matter how much moral high ground you take. Seeing this trash itself is indication of your ability.

And here you are trying to train me. You should have thanked your lucky stars that I am not a Grand Realm cultivator. Otherwise, I would have kicked your ass until you call me your grandfather."

Sam didn't even hold back at insulting the instructor.

The instructor's veins popped on his forehead. He didn't expect that Sam would be this unruly.

How dare he, a small Novice come and say these words to him? He almost made a move on Sam right now. Only the presence of the Deputy general is stopping him.

But the most infuriated people are not instructor rather the soldiers. They are blaming themselves for not being competent enough to not to be insult to their commander.

"Deputy General, you have seen the impudence. We should punish him by military law." The Regiment commander asked with a loud but respective tone.

Deputy General just gave him a sweeping look and said.

"Just like he said, if what he said are just simply accusations, I will take action, but if it is true, then I must think about you and your efficiency in doing a good job. After all, if a single Novice can beat all the Novices of your regiment, I must also say you are trash.

So, if you want to take action, defeat him and prove him wrong."

The soldiers couldn't take it anymore after listening to this. Sam's provocations along with the Deputy General's statement made them even more indignant.

"You said you would take team fights, right?" A squad captain asked Sam.

"Sure."

"Are you okay with the squad?"

"Come on, then. What is having one trash and seven trash. The only difference is the time of cleaning."

Sam kept on with his trash talk. Actually, he didn't like this trash talk at all, but he has to do it to achieve their goal.

First one, is he would empty the wallets of these guys. He would stand on high pedestal as if saying that even his beating is worth money which would let them to take out the money in order to not to lose out.

Second one, the trash talk will not only rile the people up but if he won in the same overbearing manner, the people would feel the trash talk is true.

Third one, once they really felt like trash, the novices which are more than half of the regiment will lose belief in themselves and their teammates and lose their confidence and morale which would in turn affect the morale of the remaining Great realm cultivators too.

Whether he likes acting like this or not, Sam will continue this trash talking so that he can achieve his goals.

The squad came up and all of them made a small heap of their spirit stones near the stage.

Before they took the position. Deputy General gestured to start and Sam didn't stay passive anymore. He immediately made his move.

"Restrain him."

The squad captain ordered and a member of the team immediately placed his hands on the floor. A series of vines popped up and one of them hooked Sam's legs.

"Block his retreat."

An earthen wall appeared behind Sam's back while he was trying to get out the vines. But he was in no hurry.

He looked at the remaining members who are planning for the big move.

The squad captain placed his hands on the floor and big chunk of rock started materialising from the ground. It is spherical in shape. There are some grooves over the surface.

Then the remaining three people who seemed to be fire types started making hand signs and chanted a spell and soon they directed the flames towards the spherical rock. The flame entered the grooves and the rock started changing colours.

Meanwhile, Sam is just looking at the scene calmly, he let the vines wrap around him and let them restrain him as they wished.

He is looking at the rock with intrigue.

At this moment the soldiers are relieved.

"Finally, he will be done. Damn it, I was so afraid that he can win a squad."

"Yeah, and he is not facing any ordinary squad, he is taking on one of our best squads. The flaming meteorite is one of their best skills."

The soldiers were discussing, when Sam sensed something, the core of the rock was melting and it is slowly making its way towards the surface. Only thin layer is separating the lava from the surface.

If this can be shot at a sufficient momentum it would have been a good attack, but this is only useful in war where their teammates can buy sometime and it is most suitable to attack a group.

Just before the team could make the attack, Sam smiled.

"You think you can stop me? Dream on." He was suddenly engulfed with golden flames, which burnt the vines.

"Shoot." The squad captain shouted. But his hands aren't as fast as his mouth or Sam. Before he could make a move, Sam reappeared above the rock with a crooked grin on his face.

He swung his leg as he kicked the top of the rock. The thin layer cracked by the impact and started crumbling.

The lava exploded all over the squad members before they could escape. Sam didn't linger on them and went after the wood element mage who restrained him and the earth mage who blocked the rear.

With a single kick for each both of them are out of the stage.

Sam leisurely walked towards the injured four who are still burning with the lava. The fire elemental mages are a little bit alright compared to the squad captain.

He looked at the four of them condescendingly and said.

"I stood there and you guys cannot lay a single strike on me. I think calling you trash is even me being generous with my words."

He kicked them off the stage and shouted. "Next squad." Nobody moved.

Sam looked at the crowd and spotted the person who called the instructor back.

"You come up with your squad."

The soldier didn't have any say. As soldiers they have a rule to not turn down a challenge and the person who is challenging has a lower cultivation than his and he is even challenging his whole squad. It would be a disgrace to try and turn down.

The soldier gave a blaming look to the regiment commander and walked towards the stage with their squads.

The added their spirit stones to the previous small pile created by the previous squad.

This time, the squad is of the seven swordsmen. They are trying to surround him.

Their coordination is impeccable and they are even better than the previous squad in cornering a single enemy.

But Sam dealt with them all the same. This time, he didn't pull his punches at all. All his hits only landed on their faces and every hit made them lose a tooth or crack a facial bone.

Sam is toying with them completely.

The same scene continued for a while before they admitted defeat.

And another squad came, then another squad came.

Just like that, before afternoon, Sam dealt with four companies.

"Trash" This is the only thing Sam has to say all of them. In fact, most of these people's combat prowess is decent. But the problem is that they are quite intimidated and disturbed by Sam's actions and words.

Sam's words are all over their heads.

Deputy general noticed that Sam is achieving his goal. He is observing every step of Sam.

The huge pile of spirit stones is used as a bait initially and then Sam's words are greatest provocation to any army.

He entered the heads of all these people without much effort and now they are delivering their dignity and money at the same time without even thinking straight.

At this moment, the regiment commander said.

"Stop."

Sam didn't bother with him and was about to target next squad before the regiment commander said.

"Didn't you say that military is trash? The military power never lies in individual strength or strength of a squad. It relies on the whole army. Do you dare to fight against the whole army?"

Everyone was stunned by the shameless words.

The soldiers also didn't expect that their commander would make such claims.

Actually, their novices are not that great. Because, the true novice experts are scouted by the city guards for their individual strength. The Novices in this military are quite used for combined attacks.

But even then, losing to a single Novice is already a shameful matter much less fighting in squads.

Now, their commander is even more shameless to ask him to fight against an army.

But the regiment commander still continued.

"Your said that the military is trash. If the military didn't fight together then how can you say that it is trash? If you don't prove it, I will punish you with Martial law."

"So, what is your point?" Sam asked with some impatience. However, he knew what is going to happen.

"Fight a battalion and win. Then what you said can be considered true."

Sam didn't reply immediately and just looked at the crowd. Seeing this the regiment commander pushed even more.

"If you don't accept prepare for punishment. I would deduct every point for disobedience from your team and you will also be given the harshest punishment possible."

He is hanging on to this last straw, he knew that he is shameless and he really did regret provoking Sam. But he was on path of no return.

Re-Birth of a Genius. Creator/Destroyer

Chapter 154: 1 Vs 500

Sam didn't say anything immediately and just looked at the Regiment commander as if he was thinking about it.

The Regiment commander thought that Sam was afraid and he started egging him.

"What now, Sam? Aren't you all powerful and claimed that the army is full of trash, why don't you prove it? If you don't then, get ready to face martial law."

Sam took a deep breath and looked at the Regiment commander with an expression as if he was hesitating.

"I have two conditions."

"What are they?" Regiment commander is quite sure that Sam is going to propose some impossible condition, so that he can back off without losing much face.

"I want ten times the wager, and my bet is ten million spirit stones."

When the Regiment commander heard this, he confirmed his earlier theory of the conditions. After all, the 100 million spirit stones, is not a small amount and it is more than the annual budget of their regiment.

But he felt that since Sam is trying to back down, he should make it harder for him. He is quite confident that Sam is not going to take the fight.

"Deal, what is the next condition?" Regiment commander agreed. Sam gave a surprised expression and there is some panic flashed in his eyes, which made regiment commander happier.

Sam started looking around as if he is nervous and hesitating and his movements are rather exaggerated, but the regiment commander didn't feel so.

After a brief pause, Sam finally opened his mouth again.

"The second condition is lifting up the no killing restriction."

When everyone heard these words, they were stunned for a second before thinking if Sa was crazy or pretending to be crazy.

Removing No killing restriction in this case will only make it worse for Sam in this situation.

Although, the soldiers felt shameful and humiliated, they are quite confident that Sam wouldn't last a minute against the battalion.

So, when they heard that Sam is asking for lifting the restriction on killing, they thought he went nuts and take a couple of them with him in a suicidal attack.

Even the Regiment commander thought the same way, but after some thought, he found a long-winded reason on why Sam would say that. And that would be Sam trying to use the no killing policy of the military to escape the predicament.

When they said the rules to Sam's batch, they didn't mention anything about killing and death duels. So, might be thinking that they don't have such arrangement and the military might not want to change the rules for a single fight.

Even though, the reason was long-winded, that was the only thing he could relate to the condition. Even the deputy General thought so.

Sam's nervous face only made him feel all the more so and the regiment commander didn't want to let go of this opportunity to put down Sam, he thought that situation is already in his favour and ready to put down Sam, in case he would try to pull some kind of stunt like this again.

"I agree."

When Sam heard these words, his face was full of shock and nervousness. His expression was as if he didn't know what to do anymore. After some pause, Sam asked.

"Can I use all my weapons?"

The Regiment commander didn't even think much and just agreed. As far he was concerned, Sam is bound to back off, when the time really came to fight.

"As…assemble your team. But there shouldn't be any great realm cultivators. Sam stuttered and his gaze was all over the place.

This nervous wreck of him was making it obvious to them, that he is just trying to save his face and they thought that he might be thinking that someone would definitely not let this fight happen, since it is so unfair.

After more than ten minutes the battalion was assembled in a training ground. Sam stood in front of 500 people and looked at the Regiment commander nervously.

After seeing that the regiment commander was clearly content, he knew that his plan worked.

All of a sudden, his nervous expression was gone. He is back to his usual confident self was back. He looked at the Regiment commander with a smirk.

Regiment commander suddenly became tense, he had a feeling that he walked into a trap and actually, his guess was right.

Sam really did lay a trap. Otherwise, wouldn't he be letting them off too easily.

He went against a three hundred people alone without using all his weapons. Now, even though he has to go against five hundred people, he can use all his gadgets and he didn't even have to use all of them to deal with these guys.

Deputy General also observed the change and he also felt surprised but he didn't show it on his face, rather he waved his hand as he commenced the fight.

"Start."

Sam immediately moved. But he didn't dive into the crowd, the soldiers are still a bit surprised that Sam hasn't backed down.

They are quite confident of it after all. With their expertise, it is quite difficult to notice the difference in Sam's demeanour in that small period of time.

Before they knew it, Sam is on the Harbinger, floating more than twenty feet in the air.

He smirked at the crowd and took out the Golden Crescent.

When the soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but become tense.

They fought aerial enemy, but those enemies are bird type beasts which are big in size. Their only option at that time are mostly the long-range attacks.

Because of the beast's large size, they even have some chance in attacking by jumping up in the air.

But Sam is completely different from all those scenarios.

He is small, fast, agile, spontaneous. They have to count their lucky stars.

Sam didn't make the first move, he just looked at the crowd spontaneously. Today is the day the world will know why he named his board as Harbinger.

It is Harbinger of the destruction and calamity.

The soldiers started throwing the fireballs, water spears, wind blades. All kinds of attacks are being thrown at him.

But Sam is moving too fast. After a couple of volleys, Sam finally started attacking.

He moved his front foot a bit forward and the toes touched a small protrusion.

A small groove opened in the front part of the board.

Then the board tilted a bit towards front as the groove was pointed in the direction of the soldiers.

With a cold smile on his face, Sam made his first attack.

A blue flame flashed over the groove with the sound of a small explosion as a small thin and sharp metallic disc was shot out of the groove.

It is practically invisible for most of the crowd and they only saw it when one of them reminded.

"Ahhhhh…." And that reminder is the cry of a soldier.

Some of them could vaguely see a small circular disc was pierced into his soldier and before they could see it clearly.

"BOOM." An explosion took away the whole arm completely from the shoulder. The arm was gone in the form of bloody mist.

The soldier didn't even have time to scream as he was completely fainted. If one couldn't observe the small movement of his chest, due to weak breathing they would consider him dead.

This is one of Sam's addition to the harbinger. A small metallic disc which was shot with the propulsion caused by the methane.

It is not dangerous. But the small formation that was placed on it is dangerous.

That formation is called Explosion trap formation.

It is used for trapping enemies and the formation will be activated once anyone enters it.

Actually, the formation's rank is not more than rank 2. And it is not that much preferable if one wants to create a lot of damage.

Simply put, both the disc and the formation doesn't work on these people individually.

But when they put them together, the situation is different.

Sam activated the formation and shot the disc. The speed of the disc is enough to penetrate an enemy within fifty feet radius before activation.

So, after it entered the skin, the explosion occurs from the inside.

The damage is not simply 1+1=2

If Sam targeted the chest area or any other vitals, the person would be dead.

While the deputy general and the regiment commander are thinking about this and the uses it could bring to the military, Sam didn't stop.

While moving swiftly in the air, Sam didn't stay in a spot for more than one second.

He is like the king of the sky moving and avoiding all kinds of attacks thrown at him while he shot the discs as well as the arrows from the golden crescent.

Him having the control of the wind flow with his wind elemental control didn't help the soldiers either. The situation is completely one sided.

Some of the soldiers tried to make attacks by jumping in surprise, but they were shot by the arrows before they could jump for more than ten feet.

Even if some attacks really did make their way towards Sam, the Harbinger started glowing slightly and the attacks are almost nullified. There is not much damage being done to Sam at all.

"BATTLE FORMATIONS."

The regiment commander wasn't able to control himself and immediately gave a command.
