Sam felt relieved when he noticed that Arkiv's mental storm has stopped. He once again started sensing Arkiv's mental state. He carefully healed his body and removed the poison he injected into his body.

He slowly started healing him. He really felt a little guilty about this. Even though he doesn't like to admit it, he really does have some friendship with Arkiv, just because of his own ego and Hou Yi's ego has messed Arkiv up. Almost causing him irreversible damage.

He really wanted to kill someone right this moment.

After healing Arkiv and bringing him back to a certain stable state, he started looking around to find a way out of this place. His blood is boiling right now and he wants to beat the crap out of that Hou Yi guy.

This is the only thing that he could think of at this moment.

The rest of the players didn't dare come and talk to him and only his friends are staying out of his way. He could only vent his anger at this moment. It is not suitable to make him suppress it.

At this moment, Sam disappeared from the spot. He reappeared in a room where a young man with long hair is sitting on the other side of the table.

Sam could instantly who he was, but even with all the anger he had, he didn't act impulsive, He walked towards that table and sat on the empty chair.

His body is still freshly sore with all the fighting he did. His bare chest glistened with sweat as a faint smell of blood emanated from that scar-filled body. Even with that handsome face, at that moment, he gave out an aura of savage.

"Due to the small mistakes I made, I have decided to triple your prize. You will not only be awarded the first place and get the prize three times valuable than what was supposed to be given initially, you can also ask for three things instead of one."

"What is the prize?"

"It's a special bow. I wanted to give a relatively normal one, but since I decided to increase a prize, I will give you a relatively special bow along with three retractable special arrows."

"So, can I ask whatever I want?"

"Of course."

"Okay, then. First thing is, I need the designs of the space gate formations that work between different realms."

"What do you need them for?"

"How is it any of your business? All you need to know is, it should at least be able to transport Consummate realm cultivators."

"You should watch your tone."

Sam completely ignored this comment and continued.

"Second thing is, I need a list of names. The list of the gods who are in this plot together with you. Planning to move the palace of inheritance to the undead realm in last moment. I want every god that Indra conspired with."

Hou Yi looked at Sam intently. He didn't expect him to ask such a thing. Nor does he knew what he really wants to do with that list.

"Are you giving it or not?"

"I will."

"Don't think about lying to me and adding other names that are not involved in this. I don't need everyone that voted in agreement, rather I want the names of people whom Indra might have arranged a meeting and the people he convinced with all the effort."

"Do you really think, a puny human like you worthy of me lying? You dream really big."

"You are a piece of shit that doesn't care about his own player and even use his body to kill another player whose age is probably younger than you by at least ten to twenty thousand times. If you can go this lower, there is no reason for me to believe you wouldn't go further."

Hou Yi became angry instantly and his aura flared up as he clenched his fist.

"The last one, I want you to make a bet with me."

"What bet?"

"You would be putting all the rewards you would be giving to the next participants and multiply them by ten times over and stake it against a fight with me.

You and I will be battling with the same cultivation level. If I win I will get the rewards and if you win you wouldn't lose them."

"What is the point of this, there is no benefit for me."

"Of course, there is none you asshole. Did I ask you to screw up a fair competition? You must suffer the consequences and what I am asking is not against the rules."

"What if you 'accidentally' got killed?"

Sam placed his legs on the table to the side as he spoke.

"Do you really think that I am soft persimmon? You must have thought since I couldn't beat Sun Wukong and Kartitekya, you would be able to beat me too. There is one difference that you didn't consider.

The rest of the Palace of inheritances, I go there to test myself, to improve myself. So, I need to hold back some things. But this time, I just want to kick your ass. There is nothing to hold back."

With that, Hou Yi snapped his fingers, the table and chairs disappeared.

"You might not even have a chance to regret after I am done with you."

Hou Yi said as he took out his bow.

"You would be regretting this for the rest of your life. Because, every time you look at your ass from now on, I am the one that comes to your mind."

Sam said and took out the two swords.

He changed to partial fusion instantly without wasting any time.

He didn't wait for Hou Yi to make the first move.

Even at his speed, the Hou Yi who is known as the god of archery actually managed to predict is his motion and shot an arrow.

The arrow directly shot towards Sam full of sharp tyrannical energy. But he didn't dodge it. He used the swords to cut the arrow down along its length. The same thing happened for the next few arrows and Hou Yi couldn't help but frown.

He has used a similar technique in the previous battle, but then he overexerted the strength and Sam is also using archery.

But now things are different, on the same level his movement speed is certainly not a match for Sam.

All this while he is using his right hand to hold the bow and all of a sudden he shifted it to his left and the number of arrows increased rapidly.

Now Sam is the one being tested, he not only has to block the arrows with the swords, but some arrows are honing missiles locked onto him as if they have a mind of their own.

Hou Yi is using trick shots like the back of his hand. The skill of his archery was on full display and Sam who has a superior speed wasn't able to take advantage of it to the full extent.

He thought of something and changed his approach. He turned off the light elemental fusion and activated the shadow fusion.

His body disappeared into the shadow and he tried to near the distance. Hou Yi seemed to have predicted his reappearing spot as he dodged and already shot an arrow.

The situation is not much different from before as once again Sam is working with Hou Yi's arrows after around fifteen to twenty exchanges, Hou Yi managed to finally connect the arrow, but he didn't feel happy instead, he felt like something is wrong and when the shadow fully manifested he noticed that it is not Sam. It is one of the shadow servants.

Then only he noticed the energy fluctuations behind his back and Sam appeared there as swung the executioner's sword straight to his neck. Hou Yi tried to dodge but the blade stuck his back and sliced through.

The wound was surrounded with a corroding purple color indicating the special effect of the blade.

Hou Yi turned around and shot an arrow. But Sam disappeared once again as he shot another arrow to a different place. Once again it is a shadow servant. In fact, it is the same shadow servant as the first.

Even though the shadow was destroyed, it can be restored as long as Sam has enough energy.

That is also one of the advantages of shadow necromancy.

For the next moves, the situation didn't change. Hou Yi is being fooled by the shadow servants and Sam managed to land a few proper strikes tearing open Hou Yi's back with several wounds.

And one of them landed on the special target. The ass. When Hou Yi felt the pain there, the mental pain and humiliation are much worse than the physical pain.

He gritted his teeth as he looked at Sam with intense resentment and tried to attack him, but at this moment, he felt his body going a bit numb and his sense of touch got messed up.

Sam looked at him and said with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you? I don't have to hold back and poison is something that I don't use in normal battles. But I must say you held it for far longer than I thought."
