Chapter 157: This is what i call a leg technique
General Spark was just a bit away from blowing his top off.
He turned around and was about to leave the room, when he heard the Deputy General saying.
"General, just a suggestion. If you are about to go and confront Sam, I advise not to. Because, he is planning on visiting the Thunder wolf squad tomorrow so you can do it there.
If you confront him in the camp, the soldiers who might hear the commotion will lose the last shred of respect they have on you."
When the General heard this, he clenched his fist so tight that his knuckles cracked and it can be heard aloud in the silent night.
But he still followed the advice. He knew that his position in the camp is hanging on a delicate thread.
Even though, all the commanders and soldiers are under his control, it is mainly based on the fear of his high cultivation.
And another reason is there is no other person who could substitute him, but then he noticed the current deputy general who is climbing the ranks, so he suppressed him.
Until now, no soldier complained about him because, even if he didn't care about them all this while he didn't cause them any trouble.
But now, a Novice is taking his anger out on the whole army because that guy was oppressed by the general spark.
Now they started hating the general and blaming him for this trouble. Not only did they lose their confidence they also took some severe beating particularly the first regiment.
If the general confronted Sam now and then the latter decided to let the matter known to all of them the soldiers would feel disgusted serving under someone like him.
After all, what kind of person uses his authority to oppress a person in a competition making it unfair to him just make his grandson happy?
So, he decided to wait till the next day and he even saw an opportunity in this.
Many soldiers are unsatisfied with the way the thunder wolf squad operated. The resources that squad consumes are astronomically high and they are under constant care of the general.
Since, Sam already destroyed the whole army, if the thunder wolf squad manages to beat him, then he can put the thunder wolf squad's name out and solidify their position.
While this man is making his plans, Sam is inside his tent writing something on a scroll.
After writing something, he called out a shadow mouse and gave the scroll along with another letter that he already wrote earlier and his scholar artisan badge.
They disappeared into the space jade of the mouse and disappeared into the dark.
He is making some plans for tomorrow and it is not about the fight rather it is about the trouble he prepared for the general to deal with the aftermath.
How can he let the general off so easily?
The next day even before the dawn, Sam and the Deputy general walked into the thunder wolf squad's camp.
The General is already prepared.
He sat near an arena where the team battles would usually take place.
The fifty disciples all stood behind him.
Some auxiliary members are training and doing odd jobs as if they didn't care about the arrival of the deputy general.
But Sam and the deputy general are only looking at the general, particularly Sam who has a cold smirk on his face.
Sam slowly walked on to the arena and shouted loudly.
"I am here to challenge every novice to a death duel. It doesn't matter if they come in groups or one on one. I will take the challenge all the same.
Today either I die here or destroy the novices of the thunder wolf squad, there is no other outcome.
If anyone in the thunder wolf squad is man enough to fight unlike their teacher who likes to play underhanded can come on to the stage.
But beware, after I am done with you, you would wish that the death is a better outcome."
When the thunder wolf squad, the general and deputy general even the auxiliary members of the squad heard these words, they were stunned on the spot. Time seemed to have frozen for a second.
They didn't expect that Sam would come out this strong. Judging by the Sam's serious expression, he doesn't seem to be joking. He is serious this time.
After a few seconds of pause, everyone came out of their stupor and particularly the squad members are completely infuriated beyond reason. All they want to do now was to tear Sam into pieces.
But their teacher said that he would be the one speaking and didn't let them speak unless he permitted.
"Sam, do you know what you are doing? You are making a move on your own military." The general said. He also didn't expect Sam would come up with the death duel straight up and began to hesitate.
He also heard the news of the cougar family massacre but he knew better than anyone that the news is true.
But he also has enough confidence that his disciples could beat Sam, even if they don't make it one on one, they can still do so in a squad.
Even if it sounded unfair, their squad is meant to be a team- combat experts not the individual combat experts, he didn't find it shameful to do so.
That is also the reason he didn't let the soldiers challenge Sam and let them make a move on his teammates instead.
Sam just stared at the General with a serious look full of killing intent. He really wanted to kill this guy right here right now and if he planned a perfect night sketch, he would be able to make the whole body disappear without leaving a trace of the act.
But he has other plans for this guy. Sam wants to give this guy a beating and he also wants to change a bit, so he didn't want to kill for every grievance. But if this general pushes his button once more, Sam would definitely show him hell in the future.
Seeing that Sam is not responding, general frowned and understood that there is no backing down, but he has to test the waters first.
He called Jim over and whispered something in his ear.
Jim's expression changed clearly indicating that he extremely unwilling and unconvinced. But he still went on to the stage and looked at Sam.
"How dare you to come here and challenge us? Do you think that thunder wolf squad is somewhere you can come and go as you please? I will make you regret coming out of your mother's w.o.m.b."
Jim is extremely angry at Sam, because his teacher only said that he is going to test the waters and estimate Sam's strength and he also said that he is not Sam's match which made him feel indignant.
So, he started blurting some nonsense as soon as he stepped on the stage.
But the reaction was completely what he didn't expect. He could feel that Sam's gaze became icier and he is also looking at him in a completely different manner.
He involuntarily took a step back and only after a few seconds did he realise what he did and became even angrier in embarrassment.
He took a step forward and yelled.
"I will show you why they call me thunder leg Jim. I will teach you a lesson you will never forget."
He didn't wait at all and made a move immediately. He felt that Sam's temperament changed a lot within a second right after he made a statement but he didn't know what it is.
Even the general and deputy noticed the changes but they don't know what changed.
Only Sam knew what changed. He is suppressing his bloodl.u.s.t to not to show it outside. If he shows it out, then there is a high chance that they will let Jim quit.
Sam is very sensitive about his birth and he didn't like it whenever someone mentions it. That is why the word Bastard is like a trigger to him.
Now that Jim mentioned his birth, even without earlier frustration and grievance, he would make it living hell for him.
Jim didn't know Sam's thoughts.
He moved in a fast manner as blue colour lightning crackled around his legs. He stared sending powerful kicks at Sam at a lightning speed.
This is the first time, Sam is fighting a lightning type warrior mage.
Even though, he fought a few lightning mages before that is all in a group fight and lightning and thunder elements are very rare.
From the looks of it, the best of these elemental mages of the southern star are all in this camp now.
Sam didn't care though, he also moved like a phantom. He is even faster than Jim as he dodged nimbly.
His moves are fluid, his face is cold and expressionless. He didn't even feel a little bit of pressure from the fight.
After playing for a while, Sam got bored, his hand glowed in golden light and he blocked the kick coming towards his face.
He looked at Jim who is incredibly frustrated due to lack of a single proper hit and said.
"You call yourself thunder leg Jim with these pathetic techniques? All you can do is move a little faster and kick a little harder and you dare be arrogant in front of me? I will show you what a leg technique is today."
As soon as his words finished, he swung his arm which held Jim's leg which made the later make a turn with his other leg as a pivot.
By the time, he regained his balance, Sam is already standing shoulder to shoulder with him facing the same direction and placed his hand around his left hand around his neck.
Before he could realise what is happening, Sam took his neck as support and raised his two legs and locked Jim's hip in a leg scissor lock as he threw his weight downwards.
Right before he could fall down, Sam placed his hand on the ground and stayed like that without touching the ground.
His torso is facing upwards as he placed the second hand downwards on the ground.
With his two hands as support his body stayed in the air while his legs held Jim's hip in a scissor lock.
Jim was bent backwards as his feet stayed on ground.
He was drenched in sweat and didn't even dare to move around.
All the people in the scene are stunned by the move.
This is Sam's version of modified Kani Basami. A move which is part of Kinshi Waza the forbidden techniques of the judo.
Basically, Kani Basami is a scissor lock around the hip or legs and throwing the opponent. This will cause serious lower body injuries to the opponent and it is banned in the official judo on the earth.
Sam's version though, is even more dangerous. Since, he can hold the who weight of the two bodies with his single hand, he modified this technique to his use. He could directly break the spine of the opponent as long as he wished and make him a cripple for the life.
And if he wished so, he can even decide to paralyze the upper part of the body or lower part or even both.
Sam looked at Jim and said. "This is called a leg technique. Now tell me, which part do you hate most in your body, the upper body of the legs or both. I can help you break it."
"L… Leave me. Please. Let me go."
"Don't say that. Aren't you the great thunder leg Jim? You are supposed to make me regret coming out of mother's w.o.m.b. Why are begging like a bitch now?"
