The Supreme God of Martial Arts

As Austin wrote, the symbols simply increased and slowly began to form a visible spiritual sense array of white mist that floated outward from the white array center, making it look as if they were inside a magical fairy world.

This was the second tAustin cast this Beast-subduing Skill and it was fortunate that he did not get dizzy, unlike his first time.

This clear, lucid feeling devoid of any kind of dizziness must mean that his spiritual sense had now improved a lot after he had taken that Soul-warming bead. Austin smiled to himself, pleased at this conclusion.

The Soul-warming Bead had been a gift from Angus of the Mysterious Nether World. It had quite a peculiar effect on the consumer's spiritual sense. Once the Soul-warming Bead was dissolved in the Soul Sea, it would act as fertilizer and nourish it.

Because of this nourishment, the Soul Sea would be able to grow quickly and thrive, almost like a healthy plant. This meant that the Soul-warming Bead was extremely helpful for Austin as he could easily accumulate spiritual sense without exerting too much effort in cultivation.

Thanks to the bead, he could now demonstrate the Beast-subduing Skill without any unwanted side effects.

Though his spiritual sense wasn't growing at an alarmingly fast rate nor did he have such a significant addition to the spiritual sense in his Soul Sea, there was still enough in him to subdue the rhinoceros king. In the long run, Austin was quite certain that the volof his spiritual sense would only increase to the point that he would be able to subdue much bigger and stronger diabolic beasts with no harm to his health.

As the spiritual sense array of the Beast-subduing Skill took shape, Austin utilized his mind control skill and ordered it to move towards the rhinoceros king. As it floated in the air and moved towards the beast, flashes of lighting whirled around it accompanied by the rumbling sounds of thunder—almost as if it was a spiritual sense storm cloud.

As a sixth-level diabolic beast, the rhinoceros king was intelligent enough to sense the power of the spiritual sense array.

Unfortunately, he was in no condition to struggle and had no choice but to simply accept his fate.

The spiritual sense array of the Beast-subduing Skill was a formidable technique that could subdue a diabolic beast of the tenth- level. The rhinoceros king was only at the sixth-level, so he quickly resigned to his helplessness and just lay there willingly.

The spiritual sense array began to swirl around him and then, quite like waterfalls that flowed down rapidly from the mountaintop and into the valley, all of it began to flow into the beast's head and dissolved into his brain.

As the spiritual sense array entered his brain, the fear and terror in the rhinoceros king's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a soft, amicable light.

Under the Beast-subduing Skill, the rhinoceros king had forgotten all hatred and fear, becoming completely docile to Austin as if he was simply tame, faithful domestic cattle. The rhinoceros king lifted its head and looked at Austin with teary eyes, begging him for treatment for his injuries.

Sensing the beast's plea, Austin responded by using his mind-communication skill and stored the abstruse and mystical connection between the rhinoceros king and himself in the Soul Sea. From then on, he was the master of the rhinoceros king who would only be able to listen to his orders and demands.

Having gotten absolute control over the beast, there was no point in watching him suffer from pain any longer. Taking out a few elixirs from his pocket, Austin threw them towards the rhinoceros king who mooed in gratitude as his wounds began to heal and stitched itself back together.

The elixirs he stored in his space rings were mostly at the fifth or sixth grade. Austin carried these elixirs with him wherever he went due to their effectiveness in healing most types of wounds and injuries in just a short amount of time. As expected, after being doused by the elixir, the rhinoceros king had begun to regain his strength and was actually able to stand up.

Once he was sure that his beast was fully recovered, Austin turned to Violet, about to suggest their departure. To his surprise, Violet had already gone and slipped into the depths of the valley. Austin hadn't even noticed, her movement so lithe and quiet that it escaped his attention.

Having used his spiritual sense earlier, Austin was aware of the five demonic foxes that had been observing them during the fight.

They had been restless with worry the entire tthat made him conclude that they were probably Violet's friends.

The five of them had cout from behind the bushes and were embracing Violet one by one. The excitement and relief were clearly evident on their faces at their friend's victory.

Due to Violet's insistent begging, Austin had agreed to stay for two days in the small valley. He used this tto cultivate while Violet caught up and spent her days with friends.

He knew that she had wanted to stay and talk with her friends after not seeing them for such a long time. Austin did not mind since he had nothing urgent to do and he figured that it might actually be beneficial to his health to stay and breathe the fresh valley air.

So it was that, though Austin and Violet had a master-servant relationship, their days together in the valley forged a close relationship between them. For Austin, Violet now felt more like a sister to him than a mere servant.

The two days spent in the valley could be considered as the happiest moments of Violet's life. Since the rhinoceros king was no longer a threat, she and her friends were now able to enjoy their days in peace and relaxation.

However, Austin felt awkward wandering around the valley due to the many foxes that abounded. Luckily, he found a rather quiet and secluded place suitable for cultivation. It was in that place that he took the opportunity to take out his herbal pot and begin his elixir refining.
