The Supreme God of Martial Arts

In the battle ring.

"That's impossible!" Owen thundered in a mighty voice that drowned out all other speech. He was unwilling to believe what had just happened. The Great Vajra Palm, aided by two different kinds of elixirs, had exploded with a bang. Lively flames shrouded by wreaths of dark, red smoke shot out from the explosion and leaped around in the battle ring like dancing spirits.

‘What? Could it be true that the smoke and flames from the explosion have revealed the full potency of the Savage and Devil Power Elixir, as well as the Heaven and Earth Burning Elixir? It appears that both kinds of elixirs have a masculine energy.

These are a great tonic to me." Overjoyed, a bright light ball shot forth from Austin's elixir field, motivated by his very thought.

Greedily, the light ball began to devour all of the smoke which permeated the air as well as the flames which were scattered upon the battle ring. In less than one minute, the battle ring was cleared of smog and becsunny again, as if nothing had happened! ‘What? It feels like the light ball of my elixir field is growing bigger with the increased boost of all the elixirs | have just devoured. Is my vital energy realm making its way to the next level? Could it be? Is it a sign of a looming breakthrough to the Mysterious Realm?" Austin thought with a gasp. Only a few cultivators were capable of reaching the Mysterious Realm from the Earth Realm, even after a whole life's cultivation. Even in the realm of the Violet Orchid Empire, only a few dozen cultivators had reached the Mysterious Realm, while Earth Realm cultivators were too numerous to count.

'A Mysterious Realm cultivator would certainly make for a one man powerhouse in the Violet Orchid Empire.

Such great potency from Owen's elixirs! This is really quite beyond my expectation.’ Austin's heart was singing.

"Ha ha ha, now it's my turn to counterattack. Hope that you've enjoyed your attack!" He burst out into laughter.

Glaring at Owen's pale face and terribly scared eyes, Austin could only feel his own heart throb with a great happiness.

Austin launched his Wind-commanding Skill. And in the blinking of eye he hovered in front of Owen, ready to launch his attack. Only a shadow remained in the spot where he had launched from.

This was the last thing that Owen would have expected: his trump skill, which he had spent a dozen years on, was being outfoxed by Austin in a second! Moreover, like a bandit, Austin had absorbed all the potency embodied in Owen's elixirs! Again and again! Owen could hardly believe that the elixirs which he had spent many years' hard work on were being ruined in a moment! It had taken a dozen years for him to successfully refine those invaluable elixirs. Thinking of this, he suffered a deep despair, which only a good cry could relieve him of. Raising his head slowly, he looked back at Austin with fear and terror.

"My fifth elixir.

The Muscle and Bone Strengthening Pill! Shield up!" The pills formed a dense defensive shield around Owen, trying to block Austin's attack.

Bang. Austin didn't restrain his awesstrength at all, but indulged himself in a fierce attack on Owen's defensive cloak.

One punch, two punches, three punches. .

Ten punches, twenty punches, thirty punches. .

One hundred punches, one hundred and one punches. .

Like a machine, Austin's fists knew no limits and he showed no sign of fatigue.

After dozens of punches had struck the terrified Owen, he attempted to flee the battle ring like a frightened rabbit. He was helpless before the mighty Austin, who, like an elemental forest fire, was ready to destroy all in his path.

Austin's fists powered by the Wind-commanding Skill cafter Owen like a shadow following its body. The prodigious blows all found their mark and not even one punch missed.

Owen kept on fleeing helter-skelter with Austin chasing closely behind! The audience could only see two shadows cand go in the battle ring, such was the speed of the ferocious assault! "A one-sided fight! Isn't it? It's too overbearing!" All the spectators were dumbfounded by the scene! Boom! Having suffered more than one hundred and fifty punches, Owen sat on the battle ring floor huffing and puffing, utterly exhausted. Yet another massive punch landed and he was pounded through the slate floor of the battle ring, forming a large pit with a pitiful human shape embedded at the bottom.

Bang! Without any mercy, Austin kept on punching Owen, who couldn't even move an inch at all from where he was trapped in the pit.

The defensive shield formed by the elixirs began to crack open, weakened by the unstoppable pounding of Austin's fists.

"Stop, Austin. | yield! No more fighting, please!" Owen sniveled at the bottom of the pit and had no appetite left for fighting. He was like a virgin girl who had been tortured by a dozen brawny men, he would never be the sagain after the violent attack.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Owen's pleading was only rewarded with an endless tide of clear ringing punches from his iron-hearted rival.

The cracks on his shield were becoming wider and wider, striking fear and astonishment into the hearts of the audience. Finally.

Crack! ! I! Owen's defensive shield fractured into many scattered pieces! "Please stop, Austin! | beg you, please! You are the winner and have conquered me. | will serve as your slave.

Only spare my life, please. | don't want to die! " Owen was panic-stricken.

"Bang!" Austin slapped his face violently with a brutal force that dislodged all of Owen's teeth, sending them flying across the pit from his broken lips to scatter about the battle ring.

Austin stepped forward and took a hold of Owen, and he threw him upwards into the air! "Bang!" Again, Owen was sent plummeting to the ground like a meteorite, he fell heavily and made another deep pit. The impact produced spectacular aftershocks; smoke and dust billowed outwards to engulf the nearest audience members.

Many of the commons, utterly stupefied, rose to their feet at this gloriously violent scene.

"No! Owen, hang on. Austin, you are such a brute! Totally heartless," the senior from Owen's clan yelled desperately.

"Austin's physical strength is really unstoppable! He's such an enigmatic warrior. Nobody could have known that he would triumph," sin the audience discussed in low, awed voices. . .

For sure many of them had foolishly underestimated Austin at the beginning of the match.

After pounding and smashing Owen into pulpy pieces of flesh and broken bones, Austin clapped his hands in satisfaction and strolled back to Prince Reuben's camp, quite relaxed.

'Oh? Have they advanced to the final round as well?" Austin thought.

He found Dewey and Maria in the camp, which meant that they had won out in the fourth round as well.

Now six of the cultivators recruited by Prince Reuben had gone through to the fourth round of the tryouts, including Austin, Dewey, Maria, Michael, Philip, and Joshua.

Michael, Philip, and Joshua were not happy with Austin's victory. Especially Michael and Philip. They just snorted derisively behind his back at his victory, because they had already fallen out with Austin.

To Austin's surprise, however, Dewey had somehow also advanced to the final tryout. It seemed that he had also cultivated a hidden martial master-hand.

It was possible to gain victory, if luck was with him in the first two rounds, facing weak opponents.

But strength and perseverance would be required as the rivals also grew stronger in the last two rounds.

Among over 150 players, 70 had advanced to the final round after the fourth round of tryouts.

"All winners, go back to your own camps. The final tryout will begin in half an hour. 50 Players will be selected to enter the Mysterious Nether World," the sharp and high-pitched voice of the old eunuch spread across the Imperial Warfare Field.

At last, the final tryout was drawing near! All of the contestants and commons were babbling excitedly and wondered: what would the final battle be like? Which 50 players would qualify to enter the Mysterious Nether World?
