The Supreme God of Martial Arts

According to the legend, Vital Energy Boost Pill could help the cultivator improve their vital energy realms within a short period of

time.

However, it also had a fatal side. They said that after taking the pill, user could skip several realms but would be unable to make

any breakthrough.

Therefore, cultivators easily got scared just at the mention of Vital Energy Boost Pill despite its pleasant effect.

They wouldn't even think about consuming it.

Leaders of the Incept Sect determined to win the Four-sect Join Tournament this year had ordered their disciples to take it, despite

knowing the side effects a single Vital Energy Boost Pill could do to cultivators.

People from other three sects even suspected that the Vital Energy Boost Pill might be the exact sreason for Incept Sect's

having won the last Four-sect Joint Tournament.

"Cut the crap!" said the leader of the Incept Sect. He snorted and waved his sleeve. "We'll see who will be the winner."

He took his seat and didn't argue with Elder Damian, which meant the latter's speculation was right.

They were flabbergasted to find out that the leader of the Incept Sect would use such low means in order to win the tournament.

Rumor had it that no one knew how to make the Vital Energy Boost Pill, and that it was long gone because of its side effects. None

of them had expected that the people of the Incept Sect would get the pill.

Core members of the other three sects present felt frustrated.

'The Incept Sect had run the teleportation array in the Gold City for five years. Are they going to take control over that array in the

next five years?"

The senior figures of the three major sects of the Dawning Kingdom furrowed their eyebrows dejectedly as if they had already lost

the game.

Only the leader of the Incept Sect smirked, glancing at the people from the other three sects. He smelled victory, and it would be

his.

Half an hour later, the four sect leaders stood up simultaneously.

Seeing the act, speculators on the grassland quieted down immediately.

They all knew that the Four-sect Joint Tournament was about to begin.

"Attention, everyone.

The Four-sect Joint Tournament will soon begin.

Rules are still the sas before.

The one who gets the flag on that platform and brings it here will be the winner.

Any problem with it?"

the leader of the Incept Sect said.

"Fine by me. We four sects always follow the one and only rule. This year is no exception,"

the leader of the Shiny Sect responded with a nod.

The leaders of the Mysterious Sect and the Almighty Sect nodded in approval, too.

"I'll not waste any of our precious tanymore.

Let the game... begin!" the leader of Incept Sect announced.

As he waved his hand, all participants of the gfrom the Incept Sect dashed towards the huge mountains in front of them.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Shiny Sect, the Mysterious Sect and the Almighty Sect leaped into the air and rushed towards the

mountains.

Soon after, the contestants from the four sects disappeared into the mountains.

Austin followed the other participants from the Shiny Sect.

He looked around but all he could see was nothing but steep mountains which covered a vast area.

The whole thing was like a jungle, with old, towering trees everywhere.

"We must hurry up, or the disciples from other sects will get to that platform ahead of us," one of the five principal disciples from

the Shiny Sect shouted.

They were in front of the team, leading.

All the participants knew they needed to find the flag on the platform which could be found in one of the mountains.

But the problem was the scope. The mountains occupied a large area as each mountain extended over hundreds of thousands of

meters.

It was difficult to find a platform even it was large.

According to the rules, there were illusion arrays around. They could prevent cultivators from spotting the platform by using their

spiritual senses.

Hence, the contestants had to find that platform with their eyes before they could get the flag.

The first step was to search the platform among the mountains.

Four batches of people were on their way to the open field surrounded by the mountains.

Loud sounds were heard as participants moved forward in the air, breaking the silence.

The contestants from the four sects arrived at their destination almost at the stime.

A vast area surrounded by the mountains cinto their view.

Countless of tall mountains stood with primeval forests around.

As they were accustomed using their spiritual sense in a daily basis, it was surely a challenging task to look for a platform without

the use of it for most of the disciples.

After all, the platform could be anywhere. The woods, valley, or even a peak of any mountains.

Because of the large area, the contestants cup with an idea soon. They split up to search for the platform.

Anyone who reached the platform could get the flag. Once he got back to the grassland with it, he would be the winner.

The thing was, things would be more complicated than that. The participants of the four sects had been keeping an eye on each

other. Once they found the disciple of other sects get the flag, they would swarm towards and steal it.

It would be hard to leave the area with the flag in hand.

The disciples of the Shiny Sect were divided into a dozen teams in search of it.

Austin started looking for the platform with one group.

Moments later, disciples from two sects had run into one another, and fierce fights took place.

It was a usual thing.

Once participants from different sects had encountered each other within the area, they would try to destroy each other.

A strategy that could help them win the gfaster. If few disciples of a sect could get to see the platform, that would mean a

larger chance for their own sect.

Soon after, Austin and his team members ran into a bunch of disciples from another sect.

With the clothes, he was sure they were from the Incept Sect. The number of them was equal to that of Austin and his companions.

If not all, most of them had reached the premium stage of Emperor Realm.

"Humph!" a disciple from the Incept Sect in charge of the team snorted. "It turns out you're losers from the Shiny Sect. Dispose all

of them!"

The leader of Incept Sect's demeanor and aura was a giveaway that he already was at the premium stage of Emperor Realm.

Holding a ferocious expression, he dashed towards the participants from the Shiny Sect with his team members.

"Run!" one of Austin's comrades shouted, alert. "This is not the right tto be heroic!" He had reached the premium stage of

Emperor Realm a few years back, but with the members of the Incept Sect and the equal numbers, they would surely be in the

losing side.

They might lose the gand lives of the team prematurely.

‘There are only three members who are at the premium stage of Emperor Realm in our sect. There is no way we can match them.

Making an escape is the best choice for us, ' he contemplated.

And so, he and his team, together with Austin, activated their bodily movement skill, and cleared out.
