The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"What are you waiting for, brat?" the FlEmperor taunted. "You haven't seen each other in a month, and there's no one around.

It's just the two of you, all alone, right here. Pin her down and take her. Just enjoy the moment."

His voice was mocking yet persuasive, echoing all throughout Austin's Soul Sea.

"Shut your mouth, or else I'll put the Spiritual Pot back into my Soul Sea,"

threatened Austin.

"Oh, fuck off. | was giving you good advice, you ungrateful brat," snapped the FlEmperor in response, pouting at Austin's

words.

Being nothing more than a broken soul, the FlEmperor was afraid of the Spiritual Pot. As much as he wanted to tease Austin

smore, the threat was quite effective in silencing him for the meantime.

Austin rolled his eyes before he turned his attention to Caroline. "Oh, right. You've reached the premium stage of Holy Realm,

haven't you, Caroline?" he asked, sounding both surprised and elated at the discovery.

He certainly hadn't expected this development.

Caroline nodded her head in response. "Indeed. | consumed a Green Evil Pill Elder Brendan gave me, and | managed to break

through twice," she explained.

"One of our ancestors cup with the formula for the Green Evil Pill. This pill is helpful to the cultivation of our evil shadow race.

Right now, | still have two Green Evil Pills left. | think I'll be entering the Semi-emperor Realm soon."

A sweet smile adorned her face as she spoke. Austin listened to her intently, taking in the words she was saying.

"Hmm... Looks like | need to improve my pill refining skills, then.

That way, | can make the Green Evil Pill for you and your people,"

murmured Austin thoughtfully.

Pill refinery seemed very simple, but it wasn't to be underestimated. Different pills could actually contribute a lot to cultivation in

different ways.

"Didn't you just cback from herb collecting?" asked Caroline, a concerned expression on her face. "l suppose you must be

feeling quite tired. Please, go and get srest first."

Her voice was soft and gentle as she spoke.

"You're right," said Austin, nodding his head. He really was tired, and rest would most certainly be welcafter shard work.

Waving goodbye to Caroline, he then headed back towards his hovel.

For now, he was going to take a rest and recover his energy. Afterwards, he was going to spend the following days focusing on his

cultivation.

After all, in a year, he would be facing Howard from the Vasteras Holy Land in a duel.

Unlike him, Howard had already reached the premium stage of Emperor Realm.

Much as it pained him to admit it, Austin was painfully aware that he was no match for someone at Howard's level. So he was

determined to becstronger within a year.

He figured it was enough tfor him to becstrong enough that he could face Howard on equal footing.

The battle wasn't just about the two of them, after all.

Before anything else, Elder Brendan had made it clear that the battle was a competition between the disciples from the FlHoly

Land and Vasteras Holy Land. A loss on Austin's side would mean shfor the FlHoly Land, an outche certainly didn't

want.

At the very least, Austin already had plans about enhancing his battle force.

First, he planned to speed up the upgrade of his vital energy realm.

Next, he intended to learn spowerful martial skills.

Right now, Austin had three martial skills available at his disposal:

the Grand Body Refining Skill, the Mysterious Dragon Fist, and Glorious Swordsmanship.

For the Grand Body Refining Skill, Austin had already mastered the third stage. His physical strength had already reached ninety

million pounds.

To practice the fourth stage, he needed to gather more herbs of the earth attribute first, meaning he couldn't work on this skill until

then.

But for every dark cloud, there was a silver lining. For now, Austin could focus on cultivating the Mysterious Dragon Fist and

Glorious Swordsmanship.

He decided to start with the Mysterious Dragon Fist.

The night was dark and littered with millions of stars. On top of a hill sat a figure, cross-legged and deep in concentration.

This figure was none other than Austin.

With his eyes closed and his still body bathed in the moonlight, he cleared his mind of all thoughts and focused.

Golden vital energy coursed through his body and turned into dragon energy, the key point in mastering the Mysterious Dragon

Fist.

The greater the dragon energy, the greater and more powerful the skill would be.

Back at the Wild Herb Valley, Austin had practiced this skill, and at the the had managed to form just ten dragon energy.

This time, he was planning to form even more to make his technique stronger than ever before.

The amount of dragon energy one cultivator could form depended on the quality and quantity of his vital energy.

It was said in the introduction of the Mysterious Dragon Fist that common cultivators could form ten dragon energy.

However, if one could form fifteen dragons out of vital energy, he was definitely a genius.

Only an exceptional genius could form over twenty dragons out of vital energy.

Now, Austin's golden vital energy ran a certain path through his body repeatedly, making a loud noise as it did so.

It was only after four hours passed that

Austin suddenly moved and swung his fist.

All at once, tremendous vital energy appeared around his fist, turning into large dragons that let out powerful growls.

The giant creatures flew around Austin, leaving strong gusts of wind in their wake.

Allin all, there was a total of thirty massive dragons.

With these large and powerful beasts surrounding him, Austin appeared very much like a blood-thirsty killer, his long, dark hair

blowing in the strong winds.

It was common knowledge that dragons were ferocious creatures, and the Mysterious Dragon Fist was a powerful technique that

showed their violent nature.

Suddenly, in that smoment, an evil energy blanketed the hill, the dreadful dragons moving around their master Austin.

They looked invincible, as though they could rule the world, and nobody was capable of stopping them.

It was only the fifteenth day of his training, and yet Austin had already successfully created thirty dragons out of his vital energy.

Relieved and proud of what he had accomplished, he let out a breath and drew a satisfied smile.

Fifteen days had passed since Austin started practicing the Mysterious Dragon Fist.

No matter how powerful a cultivator was, the amount of the vital energy one could have was limited.

Austin, however, was a different case. He was able to store infinite energy all thanks to the vital energy stone, meaning he could

never be lacking in vital energy.

In case he ever consumed too much, he could just utilize the vital energy inside the vital energy stone.

It was because of this that he was capable of forming thirty dragons with dragon energy.

"These dragons seem quite powerful..." Austin murmured quietly to himself.

"Well, the more the better. I'll try to form more dragons then,"

he decided.

With that, he closed his eyes once more, focusing on turning more vital energy into dragon energy.

As he was all by himself on the hill and had no one to disturb him, Austin was able to completely immerse himself in his cultivation

and make full use of his energy without any distractions.

A month passed by in a flash.

Atop the hill, Austin was still working on strengthening his Mysterious Dragon Fist.

Taking a deep breath, he threw a punch, from which large, powerful dragons materialized and growled fiercely. The creatures flew

around Austin, surrounding him and hiding him from sight.

‘Sixty dragons... Sixty!"

Austin joyfully exclaimed within himself, a wide, accomplished smile on his face.

'All my hard work in the past month paid off! Now, | can create sixty dragons from dragon energy, ' he thought.

He couldn't help but grin even wider at the proof of his accomplishments flying right before his eyes. "Aw, yeah!" he gushed,

letting out a breath and proudly looking on at the dragons.

"All my efforts weren't in vain. This time, I've got to learn the first move of the Mysterious Dragon Fist—Dragon Tearing."

To get himself started, Austin began to go through the introduction of the Dragon Tearing in his Soul Sea.

The Dragon Tearing technique was, just like its nsaid, all about dragons tearing their target into pieces.

Mastering this technique meant Austin would have another efficient way to eliminate his enemies. Basically, when he swung at his

opponent, the vital energy dragons would cout of his body, with each dragon rotating quickly and piercing through its target

to rip it into bits.

As long as the practitioner hit his enemy with his fist, these dragons would keep tearing their target until it was completely torn

into pieces with no hope of recovery.

It could perhaps be less fatal if the dragons attacked their target directly, but because they would simply keep ripping their target,

it would be more difficult for the target to survive the technique's blows.

Keeping the steps in mind, Austin then began to practice the Dragon Tearing technique.

A large number of dragons materialized from Austin's fist, roaring and reaching out sharp claws. As they did so, the hill shook

vigorously, a vast number of clouds gathering above them.

As Austin engaged in his cultivation, Caroline stood by the door of her hut every once in a while and watched him, affection visibly

showing on her beautiful face.

With not much else to do, much of her twas spent cultivating in her cabin.

Twent by, and five days had already passed.

"I finally did it!" exclaimed Austin, the excitement apparent in his voice.

In just five days, he had successfully mastered the Dragon Tearing!
