The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Now that Austin had the opportunity and advantage to practice the Thunderbolt Movement Skill, he studied it more carefully.

The Thunderbolt Movement Skill was a skill that used the thunderbolt to activate the bodily movement skill. Using this skill, the cultivator could push the thunderbolts to spurt ahead with super quick speed.

The Wind-commanding Skill was of tremendous help. But as a grade five martial arts skill, it had its own limitations. When facing strong cultivators, it was useless.

In fact, after he cultivated the intent realm of wind, his Wind-commanding Skill had reached a new higher level. Its maximum speed was brought into play.

The Thunderbolt Movement Skill was a grade six martial arts skill. This bodily movement skill was surely more powerful than the Wind-commanding Skill.

Therefore, he had made up his mind to practice the Thunderbolt Movement Skill more than any other skill. He knew that developing on that skill would benefit him greatly if he were to face a stronger opponent.

The more he practiced this martial skill, the stronger he would becin it and this new bodily movement skill would replace the Wind-commanding Skill which he already possessed.

He had a big advantage while he practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill. There was no need for him to absorb the thunderbolts.

With the Thunder Elixir inside his body, it was easy for him to get many thunderbolts.

So he skipped the first step and began the second step, which was also the most important one. He needed to learn to use the thunderbolts to activate his bodily movement skill.

On the mountain roads, in the thick woods, he practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill. He moved as quickly as a flash. As soon as a tiny lightning appeared, his position would change, and he would speed up.

He rapidly becintoxicated with the power of the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and kept practicing it all the time. Tflew. One month later, he managed to use the thunderbolts to activate his bodily movement skill.

What's more! There was a bigger surprise in store for him.

While he used the bodily movement skill, he accidentally used the intent realm of wind. The result was unexpected. His speed was far quicker than earlier. In other words, he could use the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and the Wind-commanding Skill at the stime. Their effect on acceleration was exceptional.

When he found that out, he was wild with joy. He decided to practice merging the two bodily movement skills. At the beginning, it was a bit difficult, as it was an unnatural process to do.

He spent one month focusing on the methods to merge the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and the Wind-commanding Skill into one.

After two months had passed, he was able to use the two bodily movement skills together with ease. His movements becmore natural, smoother and quicker. His speed reached tremendously high level.

Whenever he suddenly moved, tiny flashes of thunderbolts would appear while he disappeared from the place where he stood.

It was as if he was wearing an invisibility cloak.

In a jiffy, he would show up at a place, about eight hundred meters away.

That meant that he could move at a speed of 800 meters per step! His speed was unbeatable now.

Hardly had he realized that he had invented a new bodily movement skill after merging the Wind-commanding Skill and the Thunderbolt Movement Skill.

This new skill was at a higher grade and had more power.

When he had mastered the new skill, he finally stopped practicing and cback to reality.

He looked around and realized he was still in the mountains.

'| practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill in these mountains for two months. So ridiculous!" he thought. After checking the map, he had decided where he had to go and began his new adventure.

Austin, Violet and the gnwere sitting on a lichen covered rock and enjoying the roasted beasts which they had hunted in the woods. The rock was under a big tree, so they didn't have to bear the scorching heat of the sun. Although they were talking happily, their eyes glanced at the path from tto time.

As they were expecting, their conversation was interrupted soon.

From the foot of the mountain, the sound of wheels and riders thundering along the road were heard.

It was obvious that many coaches and horses were approaching towards the spot where they were sitting.

"lI wasn't expecting to see coaches and riders in this isolated place," Austin said after spitting out a bone as he looked in the direction from where the noise came. But Violet and the gnhad already hidden themselves.

In general, cultivators and diabolic beasts didn't have good thoughts about each other. They would often get into a fight as soon as they met.

"There are a large number of horses and coaches." Austin used his spiritual sense to have a look at the situation. He had to analyze it all before he took a step.

"There are hundreds of horses and more than ten coaches. It seems to be a trading group. They may be merchants." Austin had been living in these deep mountains and practiced the skills for two months. Never had he met anyone. Now seeing a trading group made him feel a bit excited and curious.

Instead of hiding, he continued to eat the piece of roasted meat which he was holding. He kept sitting on the rock, relaxed and calm.

In moments, from the foot of the mountains, dust started billowing. Austin stared at the dust and soon five tall horses appeared.

Sitting on the horses were four men and a woman. All of them exuded an awe-inducing vibe. Austin realized they had powerful cultivation base judging from their vital energy.

The four middle-aged men looked different and carried different weapons.

One wore a black robe.

While another carried a large shield on his back.

The third was a strong and brutish man with a long sword on his back.

The last man of the group was pale and thin with sharp eyes like those of a vulture. Having studied the men, Austin turned his gaze to the woman.

She was short and wore a tender smile on her face. From her clothes, Austin knew she was a married woman. He had a gut feeling that she was generous and easy-going.

The appearance and disposition of the five of them hinted that they had survived many battles and had a high cultivation base. No one would doubt their power if they were to face them in a combat.

"They are powerful! This trading group is big. There are so many people, coaches and horses. Many strong cultivators have been hired to be in charge of the security. And several of them are Sky Realm cultivators," muttered Austin.

In fact, he thought these five people were as powerful as Emperor Arthur, the emperor of the Violet Orchid Empire. But there was no need to fear them. After all, he wouldn't offend them. He even thought of becoming their ally.

This trading group indeed had hundreds of horses and more than ten coaches, as Austin had analyzed. In the middle of the trading group, there was a magnificent coach being pulled by eight steeds. It was impressive. More than twenty cultivators who were at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm or higher stage rode on their horses on both the sides of that coach.

Apart from the cultivators, the coach had a convoy of more than ten beautiful maids.

It was beyond any doubt that there was an important person of high status in the magnificent coach.

The five strong cultivators at the premium stage of Sky Realm were in front of the trading group. They were leading the group. As they moved further, they got closer. And that's when they saw Austin.

A lot of murderous will had already filled the air. They were surprised to see a young man sitting on the rock. Everyone knew that this place was desolate and uninhabited. Alertness stiffened their bodies and reflected from their eyes. They were always ready to fight against enemies.

Crack! The middle-aged man who had the large shield, raised his whip and made a circle in the air. Nothing was hit, but the wave it created was powerful and had great effect. If one was hit, he would get seriously injured.

His gaze was focused on the young man standing in their way.

Before that man said anything to Austin, the short tender lady touched his arm and said with a sweet smile, "Wyatt Chang, relax.

It's just a young beggar. | guess he makes a living in these desolate mountains." ‘Young beggar?’ Austin repeated the words.

He was shocked to know that they thought him to be a beggar.

It took him a few moments to realize the reason of their misunderstanding.

He had walked through mountains and rivers. There were no lodgings or inns in the wild. To avoid starvation, he had to hunt food and eat in the wild. At nights, he slept on a tree, in a cave or even on the ground. It was not convenient for him to wash himself and change clothes under these circumstances. Being mistaken as a beggar was reasonable. He was indeed dirty and messy. He couldn't blthe woman for her opinion about him. His clothes that had been white, were now full of stains and dust. There were tattered and torn at various places.

Even his delicate face was covered with black soot and smoke from the fire used for cooking. His face was dirty and his hair was untidy. His appearance indeed made him look like a beggar who was out in the mountains, struggling to make a living for himself.
