"Are you powerful enough that | have to run?"
It was not enough that Austin said that with a mocking tone, but he looked so calm and relaxed at the stime. He knew that it
would be easy to defeat a master at the medium stage of Holy Realm since he had killed many masters at the Semi-emperor
Realm before.
"Lettry my level six sword domain,"
Austin whispered as he watched the 30-meter-high vital energy force tornado hurling toward him.
om!
Austin started activating his level six sword domain without any reservations.
Suddenly, the whole battle ring was filled with fierce sword auras, interwoven together and forming a huge net, almost enveloping
the entire battle ring. This was Austin's powerful sword domain!
Under his sword domain attack, the 30-meter-high tornado began to rapidly slow down, and its power was also gradually
weakened.
Seconds later, the tornado was spinning in circles, unable to get close to Austin, let alone attack him.
"Well, with my level six sword domain, | can easily defeat any cultivator at the medium stage of Holy Realm."
Austin nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the intense effect of his swordsmanship skill.
He knew that once he mastered the level six sword domain, he could kill the other cultivators in his realm within a short time.
Meanwhile, on the east side of the battle ring, someone, who sat in the luxurious grandstand in midair, was talking about Austin.
"Wow, a guy at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm has actually reached level six sword domain. Good, looks like he's got
talent in swordsmanship.
If he keeps up this pace, he will surely be able to master the power of the sword enlightening. | wonder what place he'll end up in
this tournament.
If he makes it to the top ten, we can consider admitting him to our sect," said a middle-aged man, whose body was surrounded by
frightening sword-light. He looked dignified as he talked with a slight smile.

His eyes fell on Austin, who was in the 98th battle ring below. The middle-aged man appeared so interested in Austin down there.
"Ha-ha! Buddy, if you really want him to join your sect, you can directly invite him, regardless of his rank,"
a man, who was next to him and had a faint silver glow above his head, suggested with a soft smile.
"But when | chere, our elders toldthat only the top ten were eligible to join our sect. Alas, although the guy has a good
understanding of swordsmanship, his vital energy cultivation base is too weak. He has just reached the preliminary stage of Semi-
holy Realm. I don't think he has a chance of making it to the top ten. Tsk, tsk. Too bad."
The middle-aged man, enveloped in sword-light, shook his head and sighed slightly.
Meanwhile, while the two were showing interest in Austin, the young man in purple on the 98th battle ring angrily uttered, "I didn't
expect you to be a tough guy."
Although he was slightly praising Austin, his face was already dark and serious.
As a cultivator at the medium stage of Holy Realm, he had been fighting with a man at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm in
public for so long.
"The world is full of surprises, | guess. All right, letend this battle once and for all," Austin stated blandly, and his face was
expressionless.
Then, he telepathically launched his Dominant Spiritual Sense Swordsmanship.
A streak of misty, waving sword-light spread out in all directions.
All of a sudden, the youth in purple felt the looming threat of death hover him, and his face turned pale.
"Ahh! Damn it!"
Horrified, he transformed into a purple light and moved aside to avoid the sword-light.
Whoosh!
Austin again used his mind to create another streak of misty sword-light. He then attacked his opponent back and forth
simultaneously.
Boom!
The two streaks of sword-light hit the youth in purple at the stime, causing his body to explode into a mist of blood.
"Oh my god! Look! That guy killed a master at the medium stage of Holy Realm even though he is only at the preliminary stage of
Semi-holy Realm! Isn't it too amazing?"
"Wow, this guy is unbelievable! He just killed a master at the premium stage of Semi-holy Realm in no tand with little effort.
What a formidable guy!"
"Exactly. It seems tothat he was able to do this mainly because of his great swordsmanship. When he launches his sword-light,
his opponent will be killed in mere seconds."
By this time, many in the audience had their eyes on the 98th battle ring. Their voices, which was creating a little commotion, was
on the topic of Austin.
After all, many people were shocked that someone of his cultivation base just killed a master at the medium stage of Holy Realm.
Actually, while those spectators basked in Austin's astonishing performance, the latter had left the battle ring.
He returned to the resting area and sat next to Caroline, who gave him a smile of encouragement.
Belle was in there, too, and was waiting for her turn to compete.
"The guy you just killed is also one of Ladd's people, right?"
Belle suddenly asked as Austin settled on his seat.
"Yes, Rodolfo must have rigged the match for the competitors in this contest.
My opponent and your family's are probably all pre-arranged by Ladd.
They're after us," Austin answered after a nod.
"Great that you killed them!
Those people deserve to die," said Belle through gritted teeth.
There was a murderous gleam in her beautiful eyes as she spat those words.

Austin had already killed two of Ladd's people in a row during the contest, and this undoubtedly made Belle feel good.
"Humph! Damn it! | can't believe this man is no match for that bastard either!"
In another resting area, Ladd's face was grim. He didn't expect Austin to kill two of his people in succession.
At the moment, he glanced at Austin with angry eyes, eager to rush and kill the young man right off the bat.
Meanwhile, on the east side of the floating grandstand, several people were talking about Austin too.
"Well, | can't believe this guy has mastered such powerful swordsmanship.
The sword aura he exerted was actually a combination of sword aura and spiritual sense.
It was so fast and robust that even a cultivator at the premium stage of Holy Realm may not be able to withstand it.
| nearly underestimated him. He has a chance of making the top ten. | hope he plays well."
The man who had sword-light around him seemed to grow interested in Austin.
"Indeed, this guy is a bit of a surprise.
Maybe he really has a chance to beca disciple of your sect," agreed the man who had silver light above his head.
Obviously, they all watched Austin's fight and witnessed how overwhelming his abilities were.
A moment later, the second round began.
The jade slips of the competitors, who were in the second round, lit up, signaling their turn to compete.
Belle's jade slip also radiated, and a number appeared in it—20.
"Good luck! | suspect your opponent is also someone Ladd has arranged in advance.
Be careful," Austin reminded Belle.
"Don't worry. | got this!"
Belle smiled at Austin and dashed towards the 20th battle ring.
