The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin punched the vital energy cover incessantly as if he was a fierce humanoid beast. Marvin felt Austin's punching was gradually destabilizing the vital energy cover and it would be broken any time now.

Marvin marveled at the person in front of him. How strong and vigorous was he! He attacked like a ferocious beast not by the virtue of his vital energy but by using his physical strength. Even his breaths exuded great power.

"But how could this be?" Earlier, at the Beast Mountain, they had fought against two level-two evil apes together. By now, Marvin clearly knew Austin's strengths.

Of course, when they had not fought, he supposed Austin's biggest advantage to be his agile movements.

As for the cultivation of vital energy and combat capability, Marvin believed that he could outperform Austin.

But several months later, the Austin he was looking at was entirely a different person who had extraordinary physical strength.

"Is it possible that Austin acquired a superior elixir to enhance physical strength?" Marvin speculated on this but then a second later, something broke his trail of thought.

"Austin, do you think you can break my vital energy cover with brute force alone? Hum! physical strength, it's so shallow that you can never reach a higher level." After saying that, Marvin's billowing vital energy flowed more quickly on the vital energy cover.

The almost broken vital energy cover immediately became firm and steady again.

Austin saw that and promptly concentrated on the strength of his arms and began to beat the cover as if it were a drum.

Boom! He punched the cover non-stop.

Marvin kept moving backwards in an attempt to get rid of Austin's punches.

But Austin's cultivation base and bodily movements were now far better than Marvin's. No matter how he moved and dodged, Austin managed to appear in front of him and hit the vital energy cover with accuracy and force.

After several failures, Marvin eventually realized that he could not avoid Austin's punches only by relying on his bodily movements.

In any case, Marvin couldn't remove the vital energy cover from his body for if he did, he would be without the protection of the cover and squashed into pieces by Austin's powerful punches.

Though Marvin was confident about his vital energy cultivation base, he had never worked on his body and thus, was weaker in comparison to Austin's.

To the disciples watching this whole scene, it looked as if Marvin was intentionally trying his strength against Austin.

Austin continued to carry on with the punches as Marvin defended himself behind the vital energy cover.

"This guy has some scary strength. He is as strong as an ox going by the tireless punches he is pulling constantly!" Thought a disciple, struck in awe by the display of Austin letting off his strength.

"Definitely! His body is most likely to weigh more than a thousand pounds." Chipped in a senior outer disciple who was also rapt by the scene in front of them.

"Hum, it's useless. Real strength is based on the level of the vital energy cultivation base. Austin will be soon defeated by our Marvin," disagreed a devout follower of Marvin.

Other disciples knew it was Marvin's follower who had just spoken. Fearing that he would hold a grudge lest they disagreed with him, no one dared express anything contrary. Plus, this follower knew one or two things about taking revenge.

When the follower had barely shushed everyone into meek silence, suddenly, a string of cracking sounds, small but penetrating, sounded off with clarity.

Then all the people saw that Marvin's vital energy cover had begun to crack, something none of them were expecting to happen.

At first, it was a crack. And then, it spread into a spider web as cracks fissured all over the vital energy cover.

"How is this possible?" Marvin shouted aghast.

He tried to avoid the punches again, but in vain.

It was then as shocking to the spectators that under Austin's continuous violent attack, the vital energy cover burst as easily as a soap bubble popped under the sun.

Part of the last punch broke the vital energy and the rest hit Marvin's chest heavily.

Marvin hastily hit back with a palm against the punch.

But it was so powerful that Marvin was driven back several meters away by the force, drawing a long mud track in his fall backwards. Marvin felt as if he were struck by lightning.

Finding a firm footing, he wiped his mouth with his hand and found drops of fresh blood on it.

The crowd was now busy watching Austin, who looked like a maniac, still beating Marvin with continuous punches.

Hiss...

There were endless gasps of astonishment.

The physical strength of Austin was too striking to sit still.

Most outer disciples thought that they would not be able to withstand Austin's punch that packed in such explosive power.

After seeing the bloodstain on his hand, Marvin slowly looked up and stared at Austin.

His eyes grew cold like a poisonous snake who wanted to devour his enemy.

"Well, I don't expect you to have practiced such powerful physical strength in several days. But if you think you can outdo me just by it, you are wrong!" Marvin said to Austin with a malevolent and moody expression.

"Still, | confess that you are the guy who deserves all my strength to fight against.” There was an arrogant look on Marvin's face with some kind of homicidal intent.

"This is my newly practiced fourth grade palm skill. | was going to reserve it until the top 10 challenges. Now you should feel honored that | am using it on you." With that, Marvin moved slowly towards Austin. The crowd could feel Austin exuding a strong urge to Kill.

He let off all his vital energy. His palms wore an earthy yellow sheen as if they were covered by a thick layer of the earth and were several times bigger than their normal size. To the onlooker, they looked extremely formidable.

"Hum! Austin, you think that you can beat me with your increased physical strength. How naive can you be! Be humbled into nothingness! A few months ago, you were cornered by me at the Beast Mountain. Today, too, | can crush you as easily. | with my bare hands will slaughter you here. Try the power of the skill of the Giant Magic Palm." Marvin had wanted to reserve this newly practice palm skill until the top 10 challenges of outer disciples, which then he could have used as an ace in the hole to win the top 10 challenges.

But now, Marvin knew that he had to use it at this moment.

He could also try the power of the Giant Magic Palm today.
