The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Sir, I would be honored to be your disciple!"

Austin said and bowed to the old man respectfully.

He had developed a strong admiration for the master who had set up the arrays around the ancestral temple.

Now that the creator of the arrays was right in front of him, how could he pass up the chance to train under his tutelage?

Although Austin's cultivation base in arrays was already strong, further improvement was never a bad thing.

Who knows? He may even get good enough to be able to fight against a master at the level of the gods of chaos.

The old man nodded sagely.

"Good. From here on out, you are officially my disciple.

Cwith me.

In the following days, | will impart my knowledge to you,"

he told Austin.

The old man then turned to the sixteen gods of chaos.

"As for you... Since Austin is my disciple now, you are no longer to treat him as an enemy.

From now on, you must regard him as your master and follow him.

Is that understood?"

The sixteen gods of chaos from the Array Cosmos frowned and shifted uncomfortably.

The suprgrandmaster's words clike a slap to the face.

How could he possibly expect them to treat their erstwhile enemy as their master? It was too much!

"What?

You dare defy me?"

The old man's face darkened as he noted the sullen silence.

As he glowered, terrifying arrays suddenly appeared around the sixteen gods of chaos, releasing energy as powerful as several

volcanoes erupting together.

The energy hit the sixteen gods of chaos like a tidal wave. They turned pale.

It dawned on them at that moment just how much stronger than them this suprgrandmaster was.

He may even be powerful enough to kill them with just one thought.

"Please, no need to get angry, suprgrandmaster!

Of course we shall obey your orders! We shall acknowledge Austin as our master from now on!"

the sixteen gods of chaos said in a rush, their voices trembling.

They had to admit Austin's array skills were admirable.

It was just a blow to their pride to yield to someone they once looked down upon.

But they wouldn't dare cross Austin now he had the suprgrandmaster's backing.

The grandmaster backed down and nodded, satisfied to finally see scompliance.

"That's more like it."

He turned to Austin. "Well? Follow me.

I'm going to teach you all my array inheritance.

You have much work to do,"

he said.

"Yes, master. | shall work hard on my cultivation,"

Austin answered deferentially.

The old man led Austin into the divine temple.

Upon stepping in, Austin looked around, trying not to show the surprise he felt. The furnishings in the divine temple were actually

quite modest.

The suprgrandmaster lowered himself onto a futon and crossed his legs.

It wasn't long before the tutelage began.

Meanwhile, Austin's companions were left to their own devices outside the divine temple.

"I guess we don't have to be afraid of the arrays in the cosmos anymore,"

Anakin pointed out.

The three brothers of the ice source beast race, the water source beast, and the more than one hundred monks then found a place

near the divine temple to rest.

They used to be so afraid of the arrays in the cosmos that they had wanted nothing more than to leave this area immediately.

But the situation was much different now the suprgrandmaster of the Array Cosmos had accepted Austin as his disciple.

They could rest in the certainty that from this point on, no one would dare hassle them here.

"Let's just wait here.

We can afford to do that now.

There is no longer any danger outside the arrays for us.

How about we hang around in this cosmos to kill time?"

Cayden suggested to the others with a smile.

"I'm good with that.

| may have been trapped here for a long time, but I've never been able to explore it,"

Braden said thoughtfully.

"Would that be alright with you, however?"

Braden turned to look at the sixteen gods of chaos, raising his brow quizzically.

The gods of chaos appeared flustered before answering.

"Of course! As you heard, we now consider you as our friends, not our enemies.

Please, let us show you around,"

one of the gods of chaos said, stepping forward obsequiously.

"That's right.

We are no longer enemies.

Austin's friends are now also our friends.

Con, then!

Follow us!"

The other gods of chaos chimed in eagerly.

It occurred to them they needed to work double-tto gain Austin's forgiveness.

And they realized they could use Austin's friends to do that.

From then on out, they were at their best behavior.

The following days saw them personally showing Austin's companions around the cosmos.

They even held a grand banquet to welcthem.

Meanwhile, Austin remained in the divine temple, learning array skills from the suprgrandmaster.

Tpassed slowly.

Austin's cultivation base of arrays steadily improved as the suprgrandmaster imparted more and more of the array inheritance

to him.

Without them realizing it,

more than five hundred years had already passed.

This was no matter to Austin.

His wholehearted focus all that twas on cultivating his array skills.

Until one day, the suprgrandmaster spoke to him.

"Austin, | have imparted to you most of my array inheritance.

From now on, you will have to slowly comprehend and cultivate by yourself.

Now, lettell you about my identity and my past, so you can know more about your master.

Perhaps, you may learn slessons out of my life experiences, as well,"

he said, smiling.

Austin nodded, eager to gain everything he could from the suprgrandmaster.

"Please go ahead, master,"

Austin said respectfully.

"Back then, | was a legend in the Absolute Space Sea.

At that time, even the three Lords of Reincarnation, the three Lords of Darkness, the several old masters of the TChamber Sect

and other masters of the slevel treatedwith respect.

| founded a sect called the Heavenly Justice Sect.

But later, several powerful forces suddenly attacked our sect. They not only destroyed the Heavenly Justice Sect, but also injured
