The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Billy was stunned when he saw the young man in blue who delivered his challenge letter, seemed to be in great pain—but Austin didn't even launch an attack on him.

Doubt immediately clouded his mind. ‘Maybe he had grasped a special skill?" he wondered to himself.

However, his uncertainty vanished soon. 'No matter what special skills he has, | am now at the eighth level of Energy Gathering Realm! Austin is only at the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. What's more, | have figured out the half level spear intent. | have an advantage over him, so any of his special skills won't matter!" he thought proudly.

"Are you going to challenge me?" Austin asked.

A playful smile danced across Billy's lips.

"Why? Dare you not accept it?" Billy asked defiantly.

His cold eyes bored straight into Austin's own.

"I accept it!" Austin bellowed.

The situation was now out of Austin's control, and even if he didn't want things to go this way, he refused to be a coward and back down.

His original plan after being promoted to outer disciple was to conceal his identity and fully concentrate on his training. He no longer wanted to have a reputation as he did back then.

However, today was a different story—his plan didn't work out.

"See you in the battle ring after three days!" Austin said out loud.

He then went straight back into his house with Evan and didn't bother to wait for Billy's response.

Meanwhile, Billy felt madly envious of Austin's calmness. And fury even surged in his veins.

As a result, he burst out in anger and shouted," After three days, Austin, | will defeat you and make you shed blood in the ring!" Half a day later, the news quickly spread among all the outer disciples.

Billy, who ranked fifteenth among all outer disciples, challenged a novice outer disciple who just got officially promoted from a grunt disciple! All the disciples were confused. He was only a novice—Billy could've just dealt with him in private. Was such a formal challenge even necessary? However, another piece of big news had also spread.

The novice who Billy had challenged was called Austin! He was ranked the first place among all the outer disciples in the previous session! Because of this, some people suddenly began to speculate that Billy was only using the opportunity to overshadow Austin and to show off his strengths.

Austin was once the top one disciple among the outer disciples, and none of them could compare to him. For most of the outer disciples, he had a great impact on them at that time.

During that time, a large number of outer disciples had also secretly regarded Austin as their idol and role model! Even if Austin had disappeared for three years, his imposing reputation still remained. No outer disciple could ever forget it.

If Billy could defeat the once top genius among outer disciples in public, it would cause quite a stir and draw a lot of attention, and Billy's popularity would soar.

'A general builds his success on ten thousand bleaching bones. A person who wants to achieve big success should think like that. If | could defeat as many people as | can, it will certainly contribute to my success.

Moreover, they would soon hold the challenge for the ranking of the top ten disciples. | am determined to be ranked among them.

Crushing Austin, a former genius, will certainly boost my momentum and confidence, which is greatly conducive to the further improvement of my cultivation base, ' Billy thought.

Austin helped Evan back to his room and examined his injuries. Fortunately, they weren't that serious, and only his skin got wounded.

Besides, Evan's skin was thick enough to bear the beating. Even after he was battered, his viscera were still intact. He would recover after two days of rest, so Austin was relieved.

After helping Evan lie down in bed, Austin went back to his room and sat down in a cross-legged meditation position.

His eyes were solemn as he recalled the fierce spear intent exuding from Billy. From now on, this challenge was of great importance to him.

Based on Billy's vital energy fluctuation, Austin guessed that his cultivation base had reached the eighth level of Energy Gathering Realm, and he also figured out half level spear intent. Austin thought that he could be ranked in the top 10 among the outer disciples.

Thus, Austin had no confidence to beat Billy at present.

However, he should be able to protect himself with his Wind-commanding Skill and Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill.

Since Austin had used his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle so many times, he found that his current spiritual sense power was enough to deal with cultivators below the seventh level of Energy Gathering Realm, even enough to damage their spiritual souls.

However, his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle could only temporarily disturb cultivators at the eighth level of Energy Gathering Realm or above, especially the cultivators whose cultivation base was at Earth Realm, and could not injure their spiritual souls.

After all, the higher a cultivators’ cultivation base of vital energy, the stronger his spiritual soul's power would be.

Although Austin's spiritual sense power was powerful, Spiritual Sense Flying Needle was only a wisp of the spiritual sense. Since it launched attacks outside a living body, its power would not be strong enough.

In addition, Austin also knew that his vital energy's cultivation base was low, which was his biggest flaw at the moment.

Thus, Austin felt pressured by the challenge and desperately wanted to train harder.

After he sorted out his thoughts, he took out a secret martial art manual and two blades—one black and one red, from his Space Ring.

These were the objects that he had bought today for 5, 000 pieces of vital energy crystals.

When he carefully read the secret manual, he found out that it was used together with the two blades—just as what the young man who sold him the objects had said.
