The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin was totally lost in a different world as he got indulged and passionately involved in the cultivation. He had not stopped till he reached level three sword intent. Only after he achieved what he wanted, he slowly opened his eyes.

‘What has happened to me? All the pains and aches that had overtaken my body have already gone. | do not feel any pain at all! It looks like the enhancing power and potency of the liquid which was inside the iron barrel have been absorbed by my body completely!" Austin thought. He was filled with delight when he checked the scarce amount of liquid left inside the barrel. He was right! Slowly he sensed the force gushing in each cell of his body. It was as if a powerful storm was flowing inside his energy meridians and blood vessels freely. It was strange because he did not feel any discomfort, rather he felt more comfortable with all those forces rushing within his blood stream.

Gradually, a strong force seemed to rise inside Austin's body; he felt like a giant whirlpool swirling within him. The force flowed in and out of each of his organs, and every point of his energy meridians; it traveled across each cell of his bones, muscles and skin. He felt it flow eternally through his veins. The force was as powerful as ten thousand horses galloping ahead without any restraint. It was as powerful as the storm raging on the turbulent sea.

Each pore, every cell of his muscles and bones was filled with that powerful force! It was seizing his body and spreading everywhere.

While all that happened inside him, his skin miraculously appeared to have a new texture, like that of jade. It was clear, smooth, strong and beautiful. Austin realized that a lot of things were changing in him—not only inside his body but also in his appearance.

Filled with the new power, Austin roared like thunder echoing before it struck.

His voice shook the surroundings. The leaves on the branches of the trees in the forest trembled and fell to the ground; the birds that were chirping happily a few moments ago were frightened and flew away in all directions. Everything quivered as if a giant beast had appeared before them from nowhere! Boom! Austin leaped out from the big iron barrel. His whole naked body glittered in gold as he stood in the sun. He looked like a god, dignified and tough, with a tenacity that was so strong that it could never be broken.

Each part of his body, including the delicate organs inside, had becharder than steel, and tough as diamond.

His energy had risen so much that his physical body could bear the strike of a ruthless cultivator who'd hit him with all his might, sparing no effort! Austin had successfully completed the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula! He had finally done it! There was another thing that happened during the process of his learning the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula. It was unexpected but an extremely good thing for Austin. Whenever his physical body was in agony, his spiritual sense and soul force becextremely sharp and powerful. This transformed the level two sword intent deep inside his soul, into level three sword intent! Huuu! Experiencing the strength of his powerful physical body, Austin felt that the one million vital energy crystals he had paid were totally worthiit. . . . .

Suddenly at that moment, he heard a disturbance. It was a sound. .

Shoop! Shoop! Shoop! The soft sounds were heard by Austin and slowly five figures emerged out of the forest. They started walking ahead. They were moving closer to the place where Austin stood.

"Austin must have hidden himself in this forest. Nearly four hours ago, | had seen him cin this direction and enter this area. | have looked everywhere for him for hours. This is the only area which has not been thoroughly searched.

I think he probably would not dare to go back to the Sect or stay in Peace Town after he killed Marvin. He must be filled with fear as he knows Steward Su will be out soon to take revenge. The only thing that he can do is to hide himself in this forest.

Hmmm! He is really a cunning coward!" The five figures were the disciples from the Sun Sect, Johnson's henchmen, who were out to find Austin.

Among them were Isaac and Merlin, who had found Austin for the first tin Peace Town.

They had been following Austin from far away. As Austin's bodily movement skill was far quicker, none of them could match up to him. So there was a huge distance between them and Austin, and they could not see where Austin had gone exactly.

In the dense forest, they searched hard for Austin in all possible areas. After a long time, they cclose to the area where Austin had been cultivating.

"Isaac, if we find Austin, do we have to wait for Steward Su? It is said that he is only one who can defeat Austin. | am told that Austin is quite powerful," one of the disciples asked Isaac.

On hearing the disciple's words, Isaac laughed and said, "Ha ha ha! What do you mean we have to keep waiting for Steward Su? Can you be a little braver? We are all inner disciples. Austin is only an outer disciple. Do you think we, the inner disciples, are not strong enough to win against an outer disciple? Are you worried that we will be defeated by him? ‘You must be joking!" Isaac said proudly. Then he took a breath and said, "Maybe you are right. Though Austin was an outstanding one among the outer disciples yet he has been promoted as a principal disciple this time. But that is because of his sheer good luck, not his strength, as this tthe Sect decided to choose three principal disciples directly from the outer disciples.

This decision has given the outer disciples, who are far weaker than us, the chance to becprincipal disciples.

Hmm! The Sect could have chosen principal disciples from our inner disciples because we have many disciples who are stronger than Austin.

On the whole, Austin got promoted as a principal disciple because he has an unbelievable stock of good luck. But that doesn't mean he is more powerful than us. We are the inner disciples! He just cannot be more powerful than us! If we meet Austin today, | will show him and you, how weak he is! His identity as the so-called principal disciple is nothing when he is fighting against the inner disciples!” Hearing Isaac's words, the other disciples nodded their heads in affirmation. They all had the sfeelings about Austin! They were indignant at the fact that the high-positioned members of the Sect had decided to choose the principal disciples directly from the outer sect.

It was true that most of the inner disciples were not only more powerful than the outer disciples in areas of force and energy, but also had cultivated themselves for a much longer time. This gave them an edge over the outer disciples, so they resented the decision of the Sect.

Earlier, all the principals had been chosen from the inner disciples. But this tthe rule had been changed. The three principal disciples were directly chosen from the outer ones. This meant that the inner disciples had a lesser chance to be promoted to principal disciples.

Now when Isaac mentioned this matter, the other four inner disciples felt that it was unfair and were resentful again. They were trying to get a chance to vent their anger at Austin, who was an outer disciple and had been directly chosen to be a principal disciple a few days ago! All of them had sworn that they would teach Austin a good lesson once they found him.
