The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin faced off Braxton—the principal disciple of Sun Sect. The two had a grim past with each other which bore a deep hatred that had lasted till this day, thus, they both wanted each other dead.

Braxton's favorite weapon was a long spear, and he had already mastered the level 7 spear intent. In order to intimidate Austin and show-off his skills, he proudly displayed the Wildfire Spear Skill, and a blazing wild fire suddenly enveloped the whole battle ring. The flspread so fast like a very dry forest suddenly set on fire.

The flames were so hot that the solid ground of the battle ring started cracking in sareas, which looked like a field that had suffered from a long tdrought.

Austin was astonished at Braxton's cultivation base.

Back then they were both outer disciples, and Austin had always overpowered Braxton. He wasn't expecting that Braxton would make such a big breakthrough and had improved so much both in martial skill and the level of power only within the span of three years. It was truly unbelievable.

He speculated that the leaders of Sun Sect had invested a lot in Braxton. They might have trained him to death and taught him many skills. And he had been exposed to different real life experiences which contributed to his cultivation.

For a cultivator, apart from talent and diligence, resources, luck and unusual real life experiences were also important for one's cultivation. Honestly, most of the cultivators went through different experiences which helped them grow and improve their cultivation base.

Austin instantly activated the level 7 sword intent, which formed an invisible dof sword aura shielding him from the blazing inferno.

But the purple wild fire Braxton had released was aggressively powerful and overwhelming, Austin's shield might not last long against its strong intent of destruction.

This stunned Austin beyond belief.

It had never occurred to him that the skill Braxton had exerted would be so powerful. He could feel that the wild fire was quite overwhelming.

The protective dformed by the sword aura started then to bend and twist, like a bubble being blown away, and it was about to be broken.

‘Level 7 sword intent vs level 7 spear intent, ' Austin thought. He realized that the sword intent he released was slowly being controlled and overpowered by the spear intent so easily as if it was nothing.

Obviously the Wildfire Spear Skill Braxton had displayed was incredible, and it seemed to be more powerful than the Illusory Swordsmanship Austin had practiced. It was like comparing a hill from a mountain, and the difference was quite large.

‘Looks like the martial arts skills have an influence on a cultivator's battle force, ' Austin instantly concluded.

"Go to hell Austin! You'll be burned to ashes soon!" Braxton shouted, his face contorting in anger and pride.

His spear then suddenly released shadows, and the whole battle ring was instantly filled with spear shadows.

They were like demons spirits roaming around.

"Spear Shadow Skill!" The purple fire together with spear shadows simultaneously struck the dthat Austin had activated. They clike rain pouring over the shield.

Each wild fire contained enough heat and power to burn everything in the world and even destroy the space. It was as hot as the sun itself.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Holes slowly appeared on the sword aura which shielded Austin. But Austin still held his ground.

Everyone in the crowd thought that Austin was about to lose. They thought that Braxton was just too powerful for Austin to handle.

"Hahaha! Look at you, Austin! | know you reached the premium stage of Earth Realm and you have strong physical strength. But luck wasn't on your side today because you were so unlucky to have met me. The Wildfire Spear Skill | just displayed is a fifth-grade martial arts. In the past few years, | have practiced hard and | have finally reached the Minor Achievement Stage.

I'm confident enough that I can take you down easily. This is just way too easy.

It's truly shocking, Austin! Back then, you were the best outer disciple; you looked down at us. You were so proud and full of yourself. Where did all of that arrogance go Austin? But now | am much stronger. | can kill you without even exerting so much spiritual force. You have seriously becso pathetic.

I'm going to show everybody that | am the real genius in the Sun Sect while you're nothing but a loser who lost all of his confidence," Braxton declared smugly.

He didn't think Austin could withstand his attack, and he was convinced that victory was his for the taking.

"Oh? Is that so? You actually think that the likes of you can defeat the likes of me?" Austin responded casually, without showing any panic on his face and a hint of humor in his tone.

The level 7 sword intent was one of Austin's best skills. That was why he was still composed even though his opponent had the upper hand. Narrowing his eyes at Braxton, he sneered, 'Enjoy the few minutes of victory. I'm going to teach you a hard lesson, one that will torment you for the rest of your life. I'll have the last laugh! Just wait and see.’ Austin surmised that the level 7 spear intent and Wildfire Spear Skill were two skills that Braxton were proud of the most. He had already shown his strongest cards right off the bat. But as for Austin, he hadn't even shown his real power yet. His was just the tip of the iceberg.

Austin knew that he could take care of his opponent easily if he becserious about the match, and showed off his true power and skills.

But he had no intention of finishing off Braxton so soon. He planned on killing him slowly so that he could see him suffer.

He planned on killing him slowly so that he could see him suffer. . .

The audience started discuss with each other.

"Looks like Austin is going to be struck down.

His opponent after all is Braxton, one of the most outstanding and powerful disciples of Sun Sect.

The spear skill Braxton had used is at the fifth grade. And | can feel he grasped the level 7 spear intent already.

With such strong battle force, Braxton actually deserves to be called the elites among the young disciples of Sun Sect. His strength is just amazing and has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even though Austin has mastered the level 7 sword intent, but Braxton is much better at martial arts than him.

He is already under Braxton's grasp. He doesn't stand a chance.

Austin has good physical strength, but he's unlikely to beat Braxton with just that alone," one expressed his own opinion. . .

Even the emperor of Violet Orchid Empire voiced out his thought.

"Mr. Xiang, Braxton Luo from your sect has such a powerful battle force. | have heard rumors about his Wildfire Spear Skill. But this is the first tthat | have witnessed it myself. It is an aggressive martial skill indeed, and quite powerful.

Besides, he has already reached the Minor Achievement Stage. He is really amazing." To be honest, Theon thought highly of Austin for he had amazing potential in cultivating. He was such a promising disciple to him. But he was extremely disappointed and hurt with the fact that Austin had cut himself off from the Sun Sect. Right now, Braxton was fighting on behalf of his sect. Therefore, Theon was pleased to see Braxton having the upper hand.

With a slight smile, Theon said, "I'm sure Braxton will win. Look, Your Highness, Leo defeated his opponent again in such a short time!" It was clear that Theon didn't want to talk much about Austin. That was why he had quickly switched the subject.

On another battle ring, Leo, the disciple of Peripatetic Sect gave his opponent a single punch and the sword cultivator exploded into pieces.

And yet on another battle ring, an independent cultivator was brought down by a teenage boy. The boy had fair skin and actually was good-looking, and he held a knife in his hand.

That winner who was about only sixteen years old, threw his knife at his opponent which sliced his throat before his opponent could even react. It happened instantly that no one even knew what exactly happened. The speed at which he threw his knife was so fast, like lighting striking down on its enemy.

The audience marveled at the teenager's power. He becthe hot topic of the crowd. Seven predicted that this lad was worthy and strong enough to be Leo's opponent. With his skills, he might actually stand a chance against the monster.

"Austin is such an interesting person.

Even | can't see through him and foresee his next moves.

Although he is at a disadvantage, he is still acting so calm as if Braxton's attack was nothing. He doesn't look like a loser. Instead, he looks quite confident.

It looks like this brat will not lose the game," the emperor remarked abruptly, amusement in his tone.

"Just look at him. He is so composed and calm, like an unperturbed body of water. He has the manner and character of a true leader." Austin was still fighting with Braxton then.

Braxton started another series of attacks at Austin, not even giving Austin the chance to counterattack him.

He activated the spear intent, and spear shadows appeared. Purple lava suddenly gushed out, turning the battle ring into a purple sea. It swallowed the entire place that nothing could surely escape from it.

The dAustin had used to protect himself was already full of holes. Purple lava had already started to trickle inside.

"Fine. | admit that his fifth-grade spear skill is more powerful than my fourth-grade Illusory Swordsmanship.

Besides, | haven't mastered all of its sword techniques yet. But Braxton already reached the Minor Achievement Stage in his spear skill. Our skill levels are really at a different league.

And anyway, | just recently grasped the level 7 sword intent the other day. I'm not exactly good at it yet. It may still take practice before | can fully use it.

But Braxton seems to be able to use the level 7 spear intent so easily and skillfully.

Facing his spear intent, my sword intent alone is not enough. My sword intent couldn't attack at all; it can only protect me. | can't beat that guy with sword techniques and sword intent. Well I have no choice but to change tactics here. Might as well surprise this guy and give him what he deserves.

I'm going to kick his ass with my physical strength," Austin analyzed confidently.
