What had happened in the battle ring between Austin and Braxton had attracted everyone's attention. After Austin had destroyed Braxton's right shoulder with a heavy punch, he knelt down before Austin and begged for mercy.
His action caused an uproar among the audience. Jeers and laughter prevailed across the martial arts performing community that was present there.
The Sun Sect was one of the five major sects of the Violet Orchid Empire, and its disciples had always been proud of their identities. But a principal disciple of the sect begging for mercy publicly before his opponent was now causing shto the sect.
At this moment, disciples of other sects, especially those who had disputes with the Sun Sect, were taking the opportunity to kick up a fuss. Humiliating jibes could be heard across the audience.
The disciples of Sun Sect flushed with shame, wishing that the ground would swallow them.
Theon, the Sect Leader, and an Elder were leading the Sun Sect in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games.
Sitting beside Emperor Arthur, Theon shook his head, disappointed at the ludicrous performance that Braxton had put up.
During these past years, Braxton had performed well in the Sun Sect and stood out among the principal disciples, which had made Theon notice him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter vigorous training that hadn't given thought to the cost of the resources, Braxton had now broken through to the premium stage of Earth Realm, the highest cultivation level among the principal disciples of the sect.
But it looked like he was physically strong but mentally and emotionally weak. His action of begging for mercy had now humiliated the entire Sun Sect. ...... ......
In the battle ring, Braxton was still doubling over, begging and crying. The marble floor of the battle ring had already made his forehead bleed.
He had no strength left to continue the fight with Austin, who could kill him in an instant right now if he wanted.
Braxton's desire for life had defeated everything else, including dignity, character, and fame. They were no longer important to him.
"I've never expected that there would be such a waste of space like you in the Sun Sect. You have humiliated the entire Sect!" Austin said as he stared at Braxton's kneeling figure on the ground.
"You're right, Austin. I'm useless. I'm a waste. | don't deserve to be a dog, let alone a human. Please letgo and | won't dare to cross your path and go against you anymore! I'm even willing to be your slave as long as you don't kill me!" Braxton begged.
"Haha. You andare sect-mates, Braxton. Though we're not close to each other, there are still friendly feelings between us. It shouldn't have had to go like this, but you've always harbored evil designs, intending to kill me.
You're such a greedy and cruel person, and it's impossible forto let you go today.
Remember, don't becsuch a wicked man again in your next life!" Austin activated his body energy, violently agitating the air around him to form a small cyclone. He threw a massive punch that broke the air and directly attacked Braxton.
"Nol" Bang! The punch crushed Braxton's head the way a hammer crushes a watermelon, cutting off Braxton's cries for mercy. The battle ring was spattered with brains.
Such a bloody scene! Everyone in the audience was shocked at the way Austin had committed murder.
He was incomparably fierce and cruel and it seemed that all his opponents couldn't escape a bloody end, try as they might.
"This young man is cruel, merciless, and decisive. He will be successful in the future!" the Emperor summed up the battle.
"Tin, you're so powerful! | don't want to be your opponent in the following game.
There's no point in my participating in the gotherwise!" Dewey walked up to Austin immediately with a flattering smile, as soon as Austin had exited the ring to return to his group.
"Humph, Dewey, don't pretend! You can fool the others, but you can't fool me. | knew you've been hiding your real strength all this while," Austin said with a smirk. He didn't buy Dewey's compliment for a second.
"| can't see through you either! You're able to solve Braxton's strong offensives with just one strike. I'm curious about the light ball that you brought out. What is it? A Secret Weapon? Or a magic martial art you learned?" Maria asked, joining the conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnly a few masters ever learned that the light ball in Austin's elixir field that had shone out of his body during the battle was his cultivation formula. As to a majority of the cultivators, they didn't exactly know what the light ball was. Many of them thought that it was a kind of precious Secret Weapon.
Since Maria and Austin were only casual acquaintances, Austin refused to explain anything to them and responded with only a smile.
Though curious, Maria knew that Austin didn't want to talk about it in detail. After all, everyone had their own secrets, especially the cultivators. They could bring miracles to life at critical moments only if they had a few unique skills that remained unknown to everyone else.
Austin had managed to attract the attention of spowerful cultivators before he had rejoined his group. He had performed well in the previous two battles, and many young cultivators had secretly regarded him as one of the most ferocious and vigorous opponents that they didn't want to meet.
However, he had just made his first appearance. Two of the best young cultivators were Leo of the Peripatetic Sect, whose weapon was a phantom knife, and that weird man who was able to crush his opponent's spirit with a single glance.
Following Austin's victory, Dewey and Maria also won in their following games.
Similar to what he had done in the first round, Dewey grinned and cottoned on to his opponent at the beginning of the battle. Then, after dissolving the opponent's defenses, he transformed himself into a strong meatball carrying a lot of vital energy force at lightning speed, and slammed his opponent into a meat mud in a flash.
Now, many participants had their attention fixed on Dewey as well. They had becwary of him, knowing that this fat man who looked kind, had been concealing his real strength all this while.
Maria's victory was also easy. Her weapon was two long silk clothes made of a special material. In the battle ring, she whipped the two silk clothes into numerous overlapping circles, turning the whole battle ring into a sea of silk. Her opponent's offensives couldn't take effect on these soft silks, like a punch hitting swathes of cotton.
This round saw several new martial artists showcasing their skills apart from recognized masters like Leo.
A girl with a mysterious background formed a beam of sword aura from her right index finger, which could twist the space to easily break her opponents" attacks and force them to admit defeat.
An elegant young woman dressed in white formed a substantive musical note that carried vital energy by gently plucking the strings on her instrument. It gradually enlarged and turned into a hammer, slamming her opponents into meat paste.
And a handsand dignified man in yellow released an exaggeratedly heavy smell of herbs. He transformed a herbal pot and slammed his opponents into meat mud as well.
