The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin was shaken by the words of the elder in grey. 'Looks like | met another old monster who has lived a few hundred thousand

years.

This old man is obviously Brady's master.

There's no doubt he's much more powerful than Brady.

| wonder how terrifyingly strong he could be, ' Austin brooded as he stared at the old man.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Austin greeted.

The tone of his voice was humbled by his respect for the elder.

"Since you were able to make it here, it only means that you're an exceptional genius. You have the potential to beca

Protector," the elder in grey said in a mild manner as he analyzed Austin.

A glimmer of admiration could be seen in the elder's eyes.

"A Protector?" Austin repeated with a puzzled expression written on his face.

He had never heard about this before.

"Yes, a Protector. With your talent and strength, perhaps you can beca Protector.

Although you still need to cultivate hard. You need to beceven stronger than your current state.

Now you're still a candidate. You're not a Protector yet,"

the elder replied.

"What is a Protector, sir?

And... May | please know your name?" Austin asked, unaware that he had blurted out one too many questions in a row.

He had absolutely no idea what the elder what was talking about.

"You don't need to know anything else. All you need to know is that you are a candidate in becoming a Protector.

You will know everything once you are strong enough.

As for the name, it's Kevin,"

the elder replied.

"Kevin? Wait a minute! I've heard about this! Are you THE Kevin?!"

Austin was so shocked that he almost jumped to his feet.

He had heard about Kevin twice in the PrMartial World.

The first the heard about this elder was when he broke into the ancient battlefield under the sea of the Middle World Waters by

chance. A black giant who was pinned to the ground there mentioned Kevin many times.

The second twas when he was in the mansion of the ancient master in the Middle World Waters. The man in purple who owned

that mansion mentioned Kevin as well.

According to the man in purple, Kevin had almost destroyed his soul.

And now that sKevin was before his very eyes. No wonder Austin was shaken to his core.

"It seems that you have heard of me, haven't you?"

Kevin asked.

"Yes, | have," Austin replied.

He then told Kevin about the black giant and the great master—the man in purple from the Middle World Waters.

Austin also told him that he was from the PrMartial World. 'Since he traveled to the PrMartial World, he could easily know

that | am not a native in the Divine Continent even if | don't tell him where | really cfrom."

"l see.

When | traveled to different worlds may it be big or small, | did deal with many evil people.

It has been so long that I've almost forgotten.

When I'm free, | will try to visit them,"

Kevin said calmly as he looked far away.

'My god! He's even dealt with a myriad of bad people from different worlds, ' Austin thought to himself.

"Let's cut the crap.

Now that you've reached this floor, you've already beca candidate to beca Protector.

Work hard on becoming stronger. Once you are strong enough, | will cback to you.

When the tcomes, | will tell you everything you need to know about the Protectors.

Since this is our first meeting, | will give this Slave Tower to you as a present,"

said Kevin.

'So the tower's real nis the Slave Tower. Those cultivators in the East Mainland called it Spiritual Tower because they didn't

know its real name, *

Austin realized.

"Many slaves have been locked up in this tower. When you refine this tower, you will bectheir master.

However, young man, you have to always remember this. The most important thing for a cultivator is to enhance his power. Magic

treasures and other external forces are not that important.

Well, I've got to get going. What you see is but a part of my soul.

Now my soul needs to return to my real body.

If you have any questions about this tower, you can go ask Brady.

He is the guardian spirit of this tower. He knows everything about the tower.

Farewell."

When Kevin finished speaking, his body slowly bectransparent. Within a second, he disappeared into thin air.

"Sir... sir!"

Austin still had so many questions about Kevin. He called several times, but the elder didn't show up again.

A piece of information on how to refine the Slave Tower appeared in Austin's Soul Sea.

Austin sat on his feet and began refining the tower according to the method mentioned in the information.

Two days passed. All of a sudden, Austin opened his eyes with a beaming smile on his face.

'I made it! | am the master of this tower now!" he exclaimed inwardly with delight.

He now had a better understanding of the Slave Tower.

Many creatures were locked up on each floor of the tower.

Austin had met sof them during the previous tasks in the tower. They were the targets he needed to put down.

Since Austin had refined the Slave Tower, these living things were his slaves now.

Using his spiritual sense, he could know what was happening on each floor of the tower.

As he unleashed his spiritual sense to check the tower, he saw many cultivators were fighting their targets on the first, second, and

third floors.

He saw a few incredibly strong young cultivators exploring the fourth floor.

He didn't see anyone in the fifth until the ninth floor.

Austin felt that he could turn the Slave Tower into a fist-sized object and take it with him if he wanted.

"Damn it! I'm so lucky."

Austin stood up and grinned from ear to ear.

He had gotten more than he had imagined during the adventure in the Slave Tower.

The creatures kept in the tower could form a large army and serve under his command.

After he calmed down, he transported himself to the eighth floor.

He was back in the battle ring.

The moment he made his appearance, Brady turned up too.

"Master," Brady greeted as he bowed to Austin.

Being the guardian spirit of the tower, he knew that Austin had refined the Slave Tower and becits master.
