The robust young man was the first person who challenged Austin at the feast. He employed a cultivation method of earth attribute and turned himself into a two-meter-tall giant.
Austin observed him and understood that this was a martial skill which used the vital energy of earth attribute to strengthen the body. Although it wasn't a body-refining skill, it achieved the same purpose, much to Austin's surprise.
Austin scanned his opponent with his spiritual sense and discovered that the young man hadn't grasped this martial skill well. Despite the tic effect of the skill which endowed the man with the power to carry objects that weighed over two tons, it wasn't enough to make Austin feel threatened.
"I know that you're practicing a body-refining skill, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to defeat you with my physical strength and reveal how much of a failure you are even in the field you're proudest of!" the robust man announced in a cold voice.
His tall and strong body looked imposing and formidable. There was an aura of confidence around him.
After finishing his words, he strode toward Austin, his husky frame raising clouds of dust as he picked up momentum.
It only took him a few strides to reach Austin. He clenched his large fist and swung it at Austin's face, shouting, "Check this out!" But even in the face of his violent attack, Austin showed no fear. In a low voice, he replied, "Well, since you want to hog the limelight so much, I'll help you with that." Instead of dodging the man's attack, Austin took a step forward and wielded his fist.
It was a fight of physical strength. Neither of them was employing any special technique. They were both trying to win the fight merely with their fists! Although the whole audience was clear about the fact that Austin was practicing a body-refining skill, none of them expected him to win this fight. After all, Austin was tiny compared to his opponent, and it seemed impossible that Austin's fist could be stronger than his rival's, which was twice the size.
Attracting every eye from the seats, their fists met in mid-air.
With a loud bang, one of the men was knocked backward from the huge impact. . .
To everyone's astonishment, the one who lost his balance was the robust man. He moved a dozen steps back before he steadied himself. His face had become morbidly red and streaks of blood stained his mouth.
On the other hand, Austin stood steadily where he had been. Not wanting to give his rival any time to brace himself, Austin dashed toward him and began his next attack. He moved so quickly that he reached his rival before the audience could even register what was happening.
With rapid motions, he punched the robust man more than ten times continuously. . .
The other cultivators were all shocked by how fast and violent Austin's attack was. Due to his swift bodily movement skill, Austin was now in total dominion of the fight. His rival had no other choice but to passively defend himself.
After about two seconds, Austin withdrew his fists and, in a flash, returned to where he had been originally standing. With his hands behind his back, he looked so relaxed, as if he wasn't the one who had violently attacked his opponent just a moment ago.

After a few seconds of eerie silence, there was a sound of cracking coming from Austin's opponent. .
The young man's clothes turned into ashes when a breeze blew past him, revealing his bare body. There were cracks spreading all over it, making his skin look as fragile as porcelain.
Horror and astonishment were written all over his pale face.
His cultivation method of earth attribute was comprised of many fighting skills, including some of his ultimate skills, but now, he would never have the chance to show them off to anyone.
He opened his mouth to say something but only an indistinguishable sound came out. It seemed as if an invisible hand had caught his throat.
Resentment and regret flashed through his eyes.
Boom!.
With a loud bang, the man's body suddenly exploded like a big rag doll. Fragments of broken bones, flesh, and blood were scattered all over the floor.
"Oh, dear God!".
Several maids at the nearby tables were scared to death by the bloody nightmare in front of them. They screamed and scattered in all directions with terrified looks on their faces.
"How dare you! His Highness is holding this feast in celebration. How dare you kill someone during such an important occasion? Do you think that you can act outrageously because of your superior physical strength?" A young man in white clothes stood up from his seat and criticized Austin. He was about twenty years old and had a handsome face. He seemed to be full of righteous indignation when he pointed at Austin, but he was actually trying to take advantage of the situation and make Austin look like the bad guy.
Without even waiting for Austin's answer, he suddenly darted toward Austin with a blade in his hand. .
With a dull roaring sound and a strong vibration in the air, streaks of blade aura appeared out of the blue and boxed Austin in.
'He's able to use level five blade intent!" Austin thought in surprise. He hadn't expected the man's sudden attack.
Besides, it wasn't easy to grasp level five blade intent. This achievement alone was enough to qualify this new young man as a talent.
Of course, even Augustine, the principal disciple of the Flaming Sun Valley who had been able to use level six blade intent, had been killed by Austin. On top of that, Austin himself had just grasped level six sword intent, so he had a better comprehension of the sword than his new opponent.
What's more, Austin had now mastered the fourth stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, which had endowed him with a tougher body than ever.
For these reasons, he could almost ignore the young man's level five blade intent as it wouldn't be able to cause him any harm at all.
He thought to himself, 'Now that I've killed one challenger, | don't mind killing another!" Irritated by their continuous offenses, he decided to show no mercy to anyone who dared to challenge him.
He summoned the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle and ordered it to shoot at the young man's head.
While employing his level five blade intent, the young man was also preparing an all-out attack to kill Austin.
However, he stopped in his tracks when he felt a sharp pain in his head and almost cried in fear.
Unfortunately, that momentary pause turned out to be fatal for him.
Zoom! In the blink of an eye, Austin disappeared from where he was.
Before the young man could overcome the pain in his head, he was overwhelmed by a sense of danger.
He tried to escape but it was already too late.
Bang! With a loud crash, Austin landed in front of the young man and then jumped into the air again, grabbing him by his hair and throwing him above. The very next instant, he pulled his opponent back to the ground and smashed his face with his knee.
Crack!. ..
The sound of bones breaking could be heard clearly even from a distance.
It was hard to say how many bones on the man's face broke because of Austin's cruel hit.

Overwhelmed by the severe pain, the young man fell unconscious before he could even let out a moan.
Grabbing his rival like a chick in his hand, Austin casually threw him onto the ground.
He turned to the audience and shouted out in a loud voice, "I know many of you are still doubting my qualifications for joining Prince Reuben's camp. Is there anyone else who wants to fight me? I'll convince you one after another with my fists!" Everyone gasped at Austin's arrogant words.
In just a short period of time, Austin had easily knocked out two challengers who were both at the medium stage of Earth Realm. One of them had an extraordinary cultivation method of earth attribute while the other was talented enough to grasp level five blade intent.
However, neither of them had been able to take more than one attack from Austin.
Everyone at the feast became silent, left dumbfounded by Austin's strength and cruelty.
Nobody said a word to answer Austin's arrogant declaration.
Austin looked around the place, and everyone lowered their heads to avoid eye contact with him.
Eventually, another young man stood up from his seat.
"How dare you behave like a savage here! Cyrus is a principal disciple of our Joy Gang. How dare you hurt him so severely! You'll regret going against our sect!" The man's eyes widened in anger as he stared at Austin.
After learning that this young man in white was a disciple of Joy Gang, Austin remembered that he had been one of the people who had offended him a few days ago when Reuben held a feast to welcome him.
"Cut your crap now. If you want to avenge your dear friend, just come and fight me. I'll finish you like | finished him," Austin said arrogantly.
His eyes were so cold that anyone would shiver while looking into them.
The smell of blood in the air added to his murderous aura and made him look even more terrifying.
"You... You damned brute!"
