The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Yulia looked for Austin, and moments later, she spotted him with a group of people. Surprised and delighted, she ran towards him.

"Master, I've finally found you!" she gushed.

"Hey, Yulia, what's wrong? Is someone giving you a hard time?"

Austin asked as he saw tears building up in her eyes.

"Master, | have something to tell you. It's quite urgent.

But it's not safe to talk about it here. We'd better go someplace quiet first and | will explain everything to you!" Yulia said anxiously.

Ignoring all the people around, she grabbed Austin by the hand and dragged him towards the nearby woods.

"Geez! Young people nowadays lack self-respect. They should learn to behave themselves, especially in public!"

an older martial artist lamented, shaking his head as he walked past Austin and Yulia.

"Wait! Isn't that Yulia Ning of the Emerald Sect?!

She is a very well-known enchanting girl in our martial arts world!" a young man exclaimed, catching a glimpse of the pair as they

left.

"You are right. That is indeed Yulia Ning. She is a goddess, my dream girl!

Oh my God! | can't believe she is already seeing someone, and she doesn't seem to care that people know about them. Now, my

heart is broken," another fat young man lamented.

Many young martial artists were taken by great surprise as they recognized Yulia. Swere even star-struck!

"What is it, Yulia? Can you please tellnow?"

Austin asked as soon as they were deep enough in the woods.

'She is always full of surprises, unlike other girls | know, ' he thought.

Yulia then wasted no ttelling him that certain people from other sects were ganging up with plans to hurt him.

"Well, | see. Thanks for the heads up. | really appreciate it. So, you are worried about me?"

Austin said, touched by Yulia's concern for him.

"Don't worry. No one on Earth is a match for me. They can try as many times as they'd like, but they are doomed to fail. So, don't

worry aboutat all, okay?

Let's go. I'd like to see what they are going to do to me,"

Austin said with a defiant smile on his lips.

"But, master, you are drastically outnumbered. | don't think this is a good tto put up a fight!

| think it is best that you hide from them, for the tbeing,"

Yulia suggested anxiously.

"Although they outnumber me, they can't harm me. Not even a bit or a scratch.

C'mon, let's go face them all!

If they dare to be mean to you and me, | will kick their asses so bad, they wouldn't know what happened to them!"

Austin reassured her.

Upon hearing this, Yulia chuckled with amusement.

"You have faith in me, don't you, Yulia?"

Austin asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes! Yes, | do!"

Her mind was lightly at ease, seeing Austin behave like that.

In her eyes, Austin was a superhero, a legend.

Then, Austin took her to the arena at the peak of the mountain.

Only a few people knew him there.

Moreover, people freely went in and out.

Because of that, no one recognized Austin and he walked to the spot where a number of people from the Emerald Sect were

seated.

"Look who it is!

It's Austin !"

The sudden appearance of Austin greatly surprised the three superior elders and the sect leader of the Emerald Sect.

For a moment, they were at a loss on how to treat him.

Austin saw their expressions at a glance and read their minds.

After that, Austin found himself a seat and sat down, without paying too much attention to the people from the Emerald Sect.

The three superior elders, the leader and the other members of the Emerald Sect did not dare to be too close to Austin. To avoid

getting in trouble because of him, they distanced themselves well and sat down at a noticeable distance from him.

The people of the Emerald Sect had cto an agreement; they would neither side with Austin nor offend him.

Only Yulia sat beside Austin as a way to publicly express that she was taking his side.

"Look, she has been mesmerized by him and is in full support of him. What should | do to her?"

One superior elder put on a barely noticeable bitter smile as he looked at Yulia. He knew that he had spoiled his granddaughter too

much.

"Humph!"

Watching Yulia as she dotingly sat next to Austin, Hiram was overcwith burning jealousy and resentment. His face distorted as

he glared at Austin.

The Martial Arts Meeting had finally begun.

At that point, more than ten people walked onto the stage and sat down. They were the leaders or chiefs from the top-notch sects

or prominent clans. They were the ones in charge of the meeting.

The leader of the Emerald Sect was one of them.

The first task on their list was to discuss the changes in the environment.

Over the past two years, the temples all over the world had mysteriously started emitting golden lights.

Moreover, every martial artist noticed that the amount of the spiritual energy on Earth had increased day by day.

Most of them felt the it was much easier for them to break through and reach higher realms.

All the changes were good news for the martial artists and got them excited.

The leaders and chiefs discussed the looming issue with the people who were in attendance. However, try as they might, they

couldn't figure out what had suddenly triggered signs or why they had becactive.

After all, the reasons, as well as underlying forces responsible for these kinds of changes in the world were much too complicated

and mysterious.

It was impossible for these martial artists to understand, and they gave up trying.

Austin had his own speculation, but he was not completely sure about it.

"Everyone, the temples had awakened, and the amount of the spiritual energy is increasing every day. All of these are signs that

the epoch of martial arts is coming.

We must seize the opportunity to practice harder and as much as we can, to improve our strengths.

One day, we will be able to rule the world!" a prestigious elder with white hair concluded excitedly.

His statement indicated the end of the first part of the meeting.

He had barely finished his words when the crowd burst into a thunderous applause.

The second link was the martial arts contest.

It was a competition between the young martial artists.

The purpose of the competition was to determine the strength of the disciples from different sects or clans.

The crowd attached much more importance to this part and were looking forward to it.

After all, competitions like this always drew the attention of martial artists from all over. They never got tired of watching duels and

skirmishes, especially when the match was between two masters. This way, they were able to witness extraordinary displays of

martial arts skills. They would sometimes get lucky and see a few secret skills.

Any young martial artist who was interested to compete could sign up.

The confirmed participants would then draw lots to decide who their opponents would be.

Those who lost to their opponents would naturally get eliminated from the competition. Eventually a ranking was made based on

the performances of every participant.

"Yulia, you should go and have a try. | am sure that you are much better than most.

Just keep in mind not to let other people see through your real strength from the very beginning,"

Austin said with a smile when he saw the excited expression on her face.

"Okay, master, thanks for the advice. | will keep that in mind!"

With Austin's approval, Yulia cupped her hands towards him and went off to sign up for the tournament.

Likewise, Hiram and several other excellent disciples of the Emerald Sect went to sign up

When Austin wasn't looking, Hiram cast a glance at him secretly. A vicious expression flashed through his eyes.

Austin could immediately sense the hostility emanating from him, even if he did not even bother to look.

After all, Hiram was nowhere near qualified to be his opponent. In his dreams, maybe.

Almost immediately, after a short introduction and a few announcements, the tournament began.

Outstanding young disciples from various sects or clans cto the battle ring one after another, fighting fiercely in order to

secure a spot in the next round.

In the arena, there were cheers and applause from tto time.

Austin closed his eyes to have srest for he found the fight boring. He had long moved on from this level, which to him, was for

beginners.

When it was Yulia's turn, Austin finally opened his eyes and turned his full attention to the battle ring.

With his help, Yulia had grown much stronger and more skillful. She had reached the Senior Expert Realm.

That was to say that she could be on par with the cultivators at the premium stage of Earth Realm.

She was now only slightly weaker than the sect leader of the Emerald Sect.

It would surely be like child's play for Yulia to beat the young martial artists.

"Ha-ha! It turns out my opponent for this round is you, Yulia. | have heard so much about you. It is said that you are talented,

strong and gorgeous. | will have to agree to all of that. You do deserve your reputation.

Please allowintroduce myself. | am from the Hollow Sect, and | am honored to be the most... " a self-conceited young man said

confidently.

At the sight of Yulia, he instantly had a crush on her.

But before he could finish his sentence, Yulia interrupted him. "Shut up!" she yelled in a very dry tone.

She hit the young man's left face with her sword which sent him flying away. He fell outside the battle ring, and immediately

blacked out.
