Austin took a few steps back before he could steady himself.
Apart from the dull aching pain in his arms and a slight tightness in his chest, his heartbeat had also accelerated a little.
Otherwise, his body was unharmed.
He had resisted a stroke from a warrior who was at the medium stage of the Earth Realm with just his flesh and nothing else! 'It looks like this lad's body is hard as nails! But I'll see to it that | ruin his prospects for further cultivation.
As of now, there's no denying that his battle skills aren't inferior to any other youth here!" "Let's see how many punches you can survive, boy!" Unwilling to accept that his full-scale blow had been blocked, the young man roared and went to throw another punch.
'l just meant to demonstrate my power! | have no intention to keep fighting with you, ' he snorted.
Austin suddenly disappeared. Like an apparition, he appeared the next second in front of the young man, faces almost touching.
There had been a dozen meters separating them, but Austin's moving to stand before the young man in the blink of an eye left the young man reeling a little.
"ou..." The young man had not yet thrown his punch when he found Austin standing before him. Dumbstruck, his reaction was slower than Austin's next move.
An extremely horrifying coolness rose from the bottom of his heart, spreading along his arms and legs. 'Is this man a ghost?" In the heartbeat that the young man was lost in a trance, Austin focused all his extraordinary power into his hands, grabbed the young man's right arm and pulled it directly, putting in 8000 pounds of force into the pull.
"Fizzing!" The young man's arm was ripped off his shoulder and blood poured down like rain.

"Ouch!" he shrieked in pain. His scream was heartbreaking to hear.
Laughing, Austin stepped back to avoid the splashing blood. He looked around with his hands on his back, pride written largely on his face.
"This is just a lesson for him to learn. | will spare his life because | do not want to ruin Prince Reuben's good mood.
Anyone who questions my skill, please step forward." Seckill! Seckill without a doubt! Austin had defeated the young man within seconds, using his physical strength and a ghost-like swift bodily movement.
He intentionally showed the party a primitively bloody scene to make sure that they were overawed and so that they wouldn't question him any further.
‘Defeating that young man at the medium stage of Earth Realm with bloody violence is the only way to influence this group of young warriors, ' Austin thought.
The other two young men who had stood up to provoke and throw out Austin were almost at the same level as the young man who had just lost his arm.
One of the two, whose vital energy cultivation base had just reached the preliminary stage of Earth Realm, lowered his head as soon as Austin's fierce eyes found him, not daring to look into Austin's eyes.
He took a subconscious step back and glanced at the young man and woman who were writhing on the ground.
The bloody scene of the one-armed man and the footless woman shocked him as the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.
He then turned to sneak a glance at Austin, but found cruelty glittering in his sharp eyes.
Having been rendered speechless, the two young men returned to their seats.
"Hmm? | believe you have accepted my ability to assist Prince Reuben.
Fair enough, you have my thanks," he said, a smile creeping on to his lips on an otherwise deadpan face. He was calm, looked like nothing had happened just now.
He looked up calmly at the hundreds of young men and women, all of whom were silent and still, looking at Austin in fearful awe.
The silence seemed to drag on for a long time.
'It would be easy for me to defeat these two men in the snap of a finger. But why should | behave like a savage?* he asked himself, a little bitterly.
Some warriors who were at the premium stage of Earth Realm or high strength levels turned the matter over in their minds. They averted their eyes and seemed to dismiss Austin.
'He has practiced a sort of body-refining formula to the peak. His bodily movement skill is as swift as a ghost.
With such physical strength and such ghostly bodily movement skill, he has the ability and the right to show off," some warriors thought.
Some of warriors who had intended to disgrace Austin and demonstrate their own power, decided not to offend him after all.
Prince Reuben noted that Austin had overwhelmingly defeated his challengers.
"Such a talent!" he muttered with great delight.

The other warriors considered Austin as being only physically strong with his vital energy cultivation base at the Energy Gathering Realm.
Reuben had had no doubt that Austin had reached the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm in his vital energy cultivation base when he had encountered Austin in Peace Town. And now, he was awed to discover that Austin was also a master cultivator of the body-refining and the bodily movement skill! Austin had crossed Reuben's expectations by defeating warriors who were at the medium stage of Earth Realm without any difficulty. As he thought this, a great joy filled his heart.
His admiration for Austin grew in leaps and bounds.
Laughing excitedly, he stepped forward and grasped Austin's hands tightly with all the enthusiasm he could manage.
"Alright, alright, friends. Take it easy. What just happened was an incident of little importance. Come here, let us enjoy our drinks!" Reuben led Austin to be seated right next to him. It was obvious that Reuben was determined to get Austin's support.
Austin didn't protest and complying with the wishes of the host, took his seat beside Reuben.
"Wow! Look how haughty he is, so intoxicated by success." "An arrogant man with no manners.". . . .
Several guys sitting across from Austin snorted and sneered at him.
Their murderous intentions were revealed just for a split-second, but that was enough for Austin to get an idea of how they all felt.
Austin's spiritual sense had already reached an extremely high level, surpassing most warriors in the Mysterious Realm. The ability to sense and the soul strength he possessed were also much higher than any commoner, which is why Austin was able to gauge the unfriendly atmosphere in a heartbeat.
As Austin looked up again, he found several young men sitting across from him looking at him in what could only be blatant hostility.
‘Now what?" Austin thought, his anger beginning to flare again.
