The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin was looking for herbs. He kept on moving while he was in the woods.

After a while, he suddenly spotted a dragon root grass. It was a ninth-grade herb of earth attribute and was several hundred years

old.

The day quickly passed and the night already fell.

He had also collected many spiritual herbs which didn't have earth property and stored them in his Space Ring.

"This was a good day! I've found more than seventy ninth-grade spiritual herbs of earth attribute, over twenty tenth-grade spiritual

herbs of earth attribute and over one hundred spiritual herbs of other properties.

I've had a big harvest. It would be better if | could collect superior herbs," Austin murmured.

He was satisfied with the herbs he had discovered.

Austin found a cave to rest in the evening.

The cave occupied an area of a dozen square meters, the size of a normal bedroom.

Moreover, it was clean and dry.

He sat on his feet. With just a quick wave of his hand, a pile of herbs dropped in front of him.

There were approximately a hundred ninth or tenth grade spiritual herbs of earth attribute

Wild Herb Valley abounded in herbs. The spiritual herbs at the ninth or tenth grade were rare in the market, but they could be seen

almost everywhere in the valley.

"Alright! Everything is good to go. It's tto practice the Grand Body Refining Skill,"

Austin said with excitement in his eyes.

Grand Body Refining Skill was a body-refining cultivation method of earth attribute, and it could help cultivators improve physical

strength to withstand attacks.

Anything that had earth attribute was protective.

Once one mastered the first stage of this body-refining skill, a thick coating made of earth would appear on the surface of his body.

Like a fine armor, the coating curved with smysterious characters could protect one from getting injured when he was under

attack.

When one reached the last stage, his body would give off dark golden light. One would not only acquire amazing defensive power

but also gain a great amount of physical strength.

Once a cultivator learned the Grand Body Refining Skill, he could not only get incredible defensive power but also acquire new

physical strength which was dozens of times stronger than before.

It was the reason why Austin had decided to practice the Grand Body Refining Skill.

In fact, most cultivators might not be interested in this body-refining skill just because it could enable them to get more physical

strength.

But Austin was obviously had a different case.

He was specialized in body refining, and his physical strength had reached four million pounds.

Once he practiced this skill, he would possess considerable physical strength.

That way, his battle force could be greatly improved.

Austin recalled how to practice the Grand Body Refining Skill.

It was in his knowledge that the first step was to eat herbs.

"Okay. | will start now," Austin murmured.

So he took four ninth-grade herbs and stuffed them into his mouth and started chewing them.

In an instant, these herbs began taking their effect. Then Austin felt hot as the energy the herbs contained coursed through his

body.

He kept putting ninth or tenth grade grass of earth attribute into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them.

One hour had passed and he had swallowed about one hundred herbs at the ninth or tenth grade.

The energy of the herbs was being absorbed by his body, and his blood rushed through his chest.

Austin felt like he was set on fire as if he was on the verge of exploding due to the efficacy of the herbs.

Austin even breathed smoke.

The amount of the spiritual energy one cultivator's flesh could hold was limited. If one contained excessive spiritual energy, he

would end up exploding.

Austin did several difficult poses according to the instruction of the Grand Body Refining Skill. Then it could lead the efficacy of the

herbs to the veins and organs.

After the night, he already had finished the absorption process of the herbs. It was morning now.

His eyes began to open as they were sharp and sparkling. Besides, he could sense that he had gained more physical strength.

He had successfully increased his strength by a few thousand pounds. Since he had possessed four million pounds of force, such

an increase in his physical strength didn't bring him much delight. That was understandable, though.

The whole formula of the Grand Body Refining Skill was divided into five levels, and Austin hadn't mastered the first level yet.

Austin stopped and took a deep breath.

'It seems that learning the Grand Body Refining Skill does helpincrease my strength, ' he thought.

The sky implied the dawn. So he left the cave and continued searching herbs.

Austin continued his adventure. On the way, he noticed that many disciples of different sects occupied different mountains to

collect herbs.

His own eyes had witnessed fierce fights between different sects over rare herbs.

Smembers of the weak sects had been totally wiped out.

Everyone in the valley was aware that this mission was not only going to be picking up herbs but also a cruel trial. Hence, they had

decided not to show them any mercy once they confronted the people of other sects before they entered the valley.

Austin saw dead bodies in heaps and the smell of blood pervaded the air from tto time.

Austin acted all by himself, and he cautiously proceeded, so he didn't bother to confront other people.

Austin had collected more than what he had gotten before. It was over two hundred ninth or tenth grade herbs of earth attribute.

But he found nothing but common herbs.

Then Austin had a big discovery.

That was when he cto a waterfall. Water flowed over a vertical drop with a loud sound.

Half way down the cliff was a big rock. Since most of the rock was behind waterfall, few would suspect that there were herbs on it.

Austin caught a glimpse of rock, and as he unleashed his spiritual sense, he saw splants on it.

Austin used his legs to leap onto the rock.

He tried his best to avoid getting soaked. So he released his vital energy and made it form a dto cover him

There were many yellow plants on the rock.

Austin held his breath in thrill as he recognized them.

'Oh my gosh!

These are grade one superior herbs of earth attribute—the mysterious bone vines.

There are about twenty of them."

Austin was so excited as if he had won a lot of money.

"Damn it! | haven't seen any sign of superior herbs in the whole morning. And now | got so many superior herbs.

Looks like the goddess of luck is on my side today," Austin said cheerfully.

He didn't waste a single second. He quickly picked up all of the mysterious bone vines carefully and put them into his Space Ring.
