Chapter 2049 Unexpected
The energy bullet hit Sam.
Just as White thought, Sam indeed removed his fusion form and stood in front of the energy bullet with no visible defense whatsoever. The hit landed on his chest.
*BOOM*
The bullet hit him with a massive explosion. Surprisingly the force only stunned him. It spread across his body to halt his muscles as well as energy circulation. If someone who has a weak control over energy got hit by this, then they would have problem with recoils.
However, with Sam's current control, he was only forced to stop moving.
To achieve that only a small portion of energy from that energy bullet as utilized. The rest of the energy moved in a spiral motion as it dissolved from that energy bullet form and spread around Sam, creating a large sphere with nodes at specific areas.
The last portion of the energy again hit Sam.
It is just like a regular recoil hit.
Sam wobbled and flew to one of the nodes of the sphere.
*BOOM*
The node shot out another recoil hit. Sam felt his insides vibrate. He was once again shot out to hit another node.
*BOOM*
Then another.
*BOOM*
He is like a ball being kicked around by a bunch of people. Throughout this, Sam had his eyes closed. He is pissed. Which should be obvious because of the usage of the word Bastard. The reason, he turned the fusion off is to finish the fight.
He didn't expect that his slow reaction made him get caught in this attack.
He is unable to control his energy, the only he could do at that time was make sure the energy didn't go on a rampage and destroy him from inside, which is the most damaging part of the Recoil technique. Luckily, there are only so many nodes in the sphere. Every hit took away that respective node. He started timing the hits inside his head and made his move. He couldn't control his spiritual energy or Divine energy well at the moment, but that doesn't mean, he doesn't have other ways.
A small metal piece fell out of his storage and landed on the node before he could hit it.
*BOOM*
The node was triggered and the metal piece was thrown off to the next node. Meanwhile, Sam slipped out of the sphere and landed on the ground. However, he couldn't bring himself to relax at the moment.
His energy might not have been stable, but he couldn't afford to stay in the same spot.
*BOOM*
White on the other hand felt that the hit is a bit different, however, the effect or the result of the hit is exactly the same as the recoil hit.
"H... How?"
Sam just stretched his hand one more time and asked.
"How many times are you going to ask that question today?"
He lunged forward and threw a spinning kick at White's face. White reacted fast enough to deflect the kick with the cane. He used the recoil style once again, but when the leg came into contact with the cane, the hit was nullified with the blow method Sam used just before.
Sam kicked on the ground with his other leg to spin and throw a head kick.
This time it landed.
*BOOM*
White was sent flying with the recoil hit, while Sam was also sent back as he stabilized himself.
He shot forward and that sparked a furious exchange between two of them. White tried his best to not think about how Sam did it. Rather he focused on making sure that he will not get hit by Sam. Unlike Sam who seemed to have perfected blocking the recoil hit, White is oblivious on how to do it.
However, he does know how recoil works and he adapted quickly. Whenever Sam got ready to land a hit, White increased his speed and tried to land more hits than Sam. Based on his observation, Sam cannot use both of these tricks at the same time.
This resulted in a long and consistent exchange of blows with neither of them backing down.
"Fucking hell. That is what I am talking about." One of the spectators cheered
"I bet Sam is going to win this one. Who wants some action?" Another spectator yelled
"I bet White is going to win. What do you want to bet?" A completely different spectator came in the middle.
"That level of skill. I wonder if we can handle either of them if they are on the same level?" One of the Grade 2 students wondered out loud.
"Forget on the same level. Do you think we can handle them now?" One of the Grade 2 students who is only at the Middle Stage of Divine Plane Initiation spoke while gulping nervously.
This year, the quality of juniors astonished them.
There are so many talented people. A lot of them felt their competitive spirits burning. This is just the start of the year after all. There is no way all of them are disappointed that easily. They still have many days ahead in this year and many years ahead in the academy.
They are looking forward to what kind of changes these new talents will bring to the Academy.
"Both Zeus Academy and Gambler Academy lucked out with these talents. If only we knew about them beforehand."
One of the Elders felt a sense of regret.
Olaf didn't show any reaction to the Elder's words. His mind is completely focused on the battlefield. Many people are excited about who is going to win. But he and many of the perceptive people knew who would take the win in the end.
At the moment, he is just feeling pity for the would-be loser.
