The Supreme God of Martial Arts

After hearing Austin's reply, Murray couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I'm so glad to hear that. You're the commander of the A.L. Army.

| knew you would do something big. You never ceased to disappoint me,"

he gushed with a distinct hint of admiration.

Murray was the happiest one after knowing that Austin was the famous commander of the A.L. Army.

He was the one who brought Austin to the Sun Sect and trained him as his disciple. Under his guidance, Austin had becthe

best outer disciple.

Later, Austin sustained brain damage and becan idiot; it was also Murray who had been taking care of him secretly.

Austin then recovered and becstronger, and since then, he had kept an eye on him.

Murray used to be like a strict teacher and a good father to the young man.

Now that Murray was certain that Austin was the renowned commander of the A.L. Army, he was pleased with the latter's growth.

As his former guardian, he felt proud of Austin's accomplishments.

Theon, the other elders, and stewards stood still, not daring to treat Austin casually like they just did.

They looked at Austin in awe.

'He is the commander of the A.L. Army, the hero on the South Continent.

Under his leadership, the A.L. Army and Southern Alliances Army wiped out the demons who cto conquer the PrMartial

World, ' they all thought in astonishment.

Then suddenly, a change in the air filled the entire hall as the atmosphere becstiff and awkward.

"Commander Austin, we didn't recognize you. Please forgive us for being so negligent,"

Theon said carefully as he finally recovered from the shock.

"What's wrong with you, guys? Yeah, I'm the commander of the A.L. Army alright, but it's not a big deal,"

Austin responded, feeling overwhelmed at the reaction of the people he was acquainted with.

He was fully aware that they grew scared of him after knowing his identity.

Austin's words shocked everyone in the lobby.

You kidding me?

You are the most popular cultivator in the PrMartial World.

No one would dare to provoke you, ' they all thought but dared not to say it out loud.

"Con, don't be so formal. Just treatthe sway you used to.

Anyway, | was a common disciple of the Sun Sect, and you were my elders.

No matter how successful | have become, you'll always be my elders and seniors.

Have a seat,"

Austin offered sincerely, feeling a little bit nostalgic with the presence of sfamiliar faces.

His light statement somewhat eased the intense vibe in the entire hall.

"Commander Austin, now that you said so, we'll sit down," Theon responded politely.

He could tell that Austin was sincere about what he said.

So he acted right away and sat down.

Despite that, he didn't risk casually calling Austin by his name.

Upon seeing this, the rest of them took their seats.

Austin chatted away with them.

Except for Murray and Mindy, they all seemed overwhelmed. The way they acted towards Austin was full of cautiousness and

discreetness.

They would think twice before actually approaching and talking to him.

The light atmosphere when Austin initially entered the lobby was now gone.

He honestly found the set up very dull after sitting for a while.

Hence, he decided to take his leave.

The primary purpose of his return was to find Angus and the FlEmperor in the Mysterious Nether World.

Therefore, he had no intention of wasting too much tin the Sun Sect.

Two hours later, after uncomfortably sitting with all the elders in one room, Austin rose from his seat, planning to bid them farewell.

"Steward Murray, please take this."

Austin handed a Space Ring to Murray.

The latter then smiled at him before accepting his offer.

"This is for you, Mindy. Please, accept my gifts,"

Austin said, also giving a Space Ring to Mindy.

Mindy refused to accept it at first, but because Austin insisted, she was prompted to receive the gift.

"Mr. Theon, after the demon race invasion, you'll need lots of resources to rebuild your sect.

I'm giving this to you as a way of expressing my gratitude for your kindness. Thank you for looking afterin the past," Austin

said sincerely.

He also handed a Space Ring to Theon.

Theon got up immediately and took it after thanking Austin.

Austin bid his farewell shortly and then left the Sun Mountain. He took out the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot and got on it. He was

headed for the imperial capital city of the Violet Orchid Empire since one of the entrances to the Mysterious Nether World was in

the royal palace.

Everything seemed nostalgic, and as much as he wanted to reminisce, he had limited tto finish what he needed to do.

After Austin's departure from the lobby, the elders and stewards who left afterward were very much relieved, gently wiping off the

beads of sweat that formed on their foreheads unnoticed.

They were obviously anxious to be around the now mighty Austin, who was once a juvenile young man in this place.

Learning that Austin was the leader of the A.L. Army was utterly surprising that they couldn't even dare to look him in the face.

Even those leaders of prominent sects and clans in the three holy kingdoms of the South Continent showered Austin with their

highest respect;

let alone those elders and stewards of the Sun Sect--which was just a small sect.

Theon and the others were clearly aware that Austin had reached a level that they could only dream of.

"Ha-ha. What a surprise! The strongest cultivator in the South Continent is from our sect.

If other people from other sects learned this, they would undoubtedly be flabbergasted.

I'm pretty sure they will not have the nerve to look down on us, let alone provoke us,"

a white-haired elder exclaimed in excitement.

Everyone, who also realized the implication of what the elder just said, cheered in unison. They too were happy of Austin's

growth--albeit him becoming a little terrifying because of his new skills.

"You have a good point.

Austin used to be our disciple. If other people know this, they won't dare to mess with us whether we're strong or not.

Ha-ha. This is so great. | have a good feeling about this!

Once they know Austin learned martial arts skills here, our sect will rise to fand becstronger soon."

Theon laughed, evidently ecstatic of the possible outcome.

"Austin is really a grateful child. He even gave us these resources. I'm going to check them,"

Theon expressed, taking out the Space Ring excitedly.

He unleashed his spiritual sense to perceive the contents inside the ring.

One look at what the ring contained, and Theon was immediately petrified.

He sat frozen, with his feet seemingly glued to the ground.

Gradually, his breathing becheavy.

Much like the air had becscarce, his chest rose and fell.

"There are twenty million divine vital energy crystals inside it!"

Theon murmured, his eyes flashing with sheer thrill.

'What?'

The rest of them froze with a stunned expression on their faces.

The entire annual revenue of the Sun Sect was just several million vital energy crystals.

When Austin was just an outer disciple of the Sun Sect back then, he could only get a dozen vital energy crystals monthly.

Obviously, Sun Sect lacked cultivation resources.

But Austin gave Theon twenty million divine vital energy crystals just now as if it were nothing to him.

A superior vital energy crystal was equal to a thousand ordinary vital energy crystals; a divine vital energy crystal could be

exchanged for at least ten thousand superior vital energy crystals.

Twenty million divine vital energy crystals were really a big fortune for the Sun Sect. In fact, it was equivalent to the revenue of

their sect for several hundred years.

Austin's gift to Theon would sustain the Sun Sect for many years.

Everyone in the hall was left dumbfounded for several minutes.

Moments later, Murray was able to recover from his shock.

'What's inside the Space Ring Austin gave me?' he suddenly wondered.

He utilized his spiritual sense to probe on the ring.

Just like Theon, he, too, was bewildered at what he saw.

His mind grew a blank as if he was hallucinating in mid-day.

There were one hundred million divine vital energy crystals inside the Space Ring.

Murray was an essential part of Austin's life and development. He was there when only a few people believed in the young man.

So it was only right to gift him such abundant resources.

Mindy took out the Space Ring and probed into it with her spiritual sense.

Just like Murray, she was astonished to perceive what was contained in it.

There were ten million divine vital energy crystals in her Space Ring gift!

Austin left everyone in the hall thoroughly dumbfounded with their eyes wide, mouths agape, and mind almost completely blank.

Meanwhile, he was already above the imperial capital city.

He put the chariot aside and cdown.

'I'm coming, Angus, FlEmperor, '

Austin thought as he looked not too far ahead.
