The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin hurriedly bolted into the distance after he broke out from the ring of encirclement, an overwhelming number of roaring sea

beasts following closely behind.

He utilized his Thunderbolt Movement Skill to the full extent, producing a series of crackling sounds of thunderbolts.

As he gained more understanding of the wind and the thunderbolt, his bodily movement skill had also gained a significantly deeper

import of the two.

About an hour later, he finally broke away from the pursuing forces of sea beasts

and arrived at a quieter sea region.

The Middle World Waters was said to be boundless and larger than the four continents occupied by human beings combined.

For the past twenty days or so, Austin's activity was limited within the sea regions in the vicinity of the coastal continent

rather than the area far from the continent.

Now, he was heading towards the high sea.

After getting rid of his pursuers, Austin released his spiritual sense towards the stretch of all the possible directions.

It didn't take him much longer to find an isolated island.

In the vast expanse of the ocean, such isolated islands were dotted everywhere in great numbers.

Austin played the old strick. He landed on the isolated island and teleported himself into his City.

The City shrank into the size of a grain of sand and mixed with the dirt on the island.

In the City, Austin spent stsitting in meditation

as the previous skirmish unexpectedly made him tired.

Slaughtering tens of thousands of sea beasts drained him both physically and mentally, mentally especially.

After half a day's worth of meditation, Austin was back in his peak condition.

First thing he did was to locate the specific positions of the sea beasts that he teleported back to his City, then he flew towards the

nearest ones.

Next, he continued the cultivation of the Beast Energy-extracting Skill. .

Within two days, Austin's physical strength had reached two million pounds, after he finished the refining process involving all the

remaining sea beasts trapped in his City.

However, during his couple days of cultivation, he started to encounter a problem.

With the continuous enhancement of his physical strength, the efficiency of the transformation from blood essence of demonic

beasts to physical strength began to decline.

He found it bothersome

as according to the record written about the Beast Energy-extracting Skill, the blood essence from a preliminary beast master

could be converted to five thousand pounds of physical strength.

In the last few days, he was only able to gain at most three thousand pounds from absorbing the blood essence of a preliminary

beast master, far from the promised five thousand pounds.

There were even a few times where he was only able to absorb just a little more than two thousand pounds.

The situation had left Austin somewhat vexed.

‘Does this mean that the cultivation of physical strength is the sas the cultivation of vital energy? Like haste makes waste?

Or is it just because the more blood essence is needed the more total physical strength | have?’ he deliberated.

But either way, he was already tremendously satisfied with his achievement of acquiring two million pounds’ of physical strength in

the Middle World Waters.

In his estimation, the strength would be enough to deal with any Master Realm warrior;

he could even avoid getting killed while facing Astral Realm masters. .

Austin also knew that

the Astral Realm cultivation base seemed only a level higher than

the Master Realm, technically.

However, that one-level gap was still as far apart as heaven and earth in nature.

It was said that the vital energy in an Astral Realm warrior's body would manifest signs of returning to its original purity, which

meant that slaws of heaven and earth were already faintly involved in the cultivation of Astral Realm masters.

Vital energy cultivation for them was not only about absorbing more vital energy to make a breakthrough;

what they needed was an

insight into the soul.

For Astral Realm masters, they would not be able to make breakthroughs, to gain and control more powerful vital energy force,

until they had insight into the greatest truth and the law of nature;

unlike the masters below the Master Realm

who needed to broaden their energy meridians to absorb more vital energy and make a breakthrough.

To put it simply, masters below the Master Realm cultivated their bodies, while masters above the Astral Realm focused more on

the external factors outside their bodies-like the law of heaven and nature.

A warrior's cultivation base from the Master Realm to the Astral Realm was a qualitative change rather than a quantitative change.

Austin began to grasp these principles during his cultivation process.

Every the broke into a new height, he would obtain a new understanding of the things around him.

At the present, he had no doubt that he would be able to easily defeat any Master Realm warrior with his physical strength.

However, the odds were against him if he were to encounter an Astral Realm master, as an Astral Realm master would have

preliminary realization of the law of nature and other great truths, thus possessing an outrageous amount of powerful skills. .

After finishing the process of Beast Energy-extracting Skill, Austin went to the lane where the six mermaids were located.

'How should | make proper arrangements for these six maidens?’ he grumbled as he made his way to them.

It was a headache to him.

Once Austin arrived, the six mermaid maidens were pleasantly surprised

and surrounded him immediately.

Austin gave them a brief description of the situation outside the City.

The sea beasts outside the City were most likely still searching for the whereabouts of Austin and the two princesses.

"By the way, may | ask about the division of the regions of the Middle World Waters?"

Austin curiously asked.

Olivia, the second princess, spoke, "The Middle World Waters was divided into three regions;

the outer ring region, the inner ring region, and the core region.

Each region is then further divided into three more layers;

the First Outer Ring, the Second Outer Ring, and the Third Outer Ring.

It's the sthing for

all the three regions," she patiently explained.

Over the past month, Austin's range of activity was limited in the Second Outer Ring.

Now he had no more doubts about the division of the regions of the Middle World Waters.

"So, do you have any plans?"

Austin asked the two princesses.

There had been an internal conflict within the mermaid tribe and, in addition to that, the Cyan Flood Dragon King's underlings were

chasing after them.

The six maidens were definitely facing a great dilemma.

"Young hero, we have had a discussion

and we have all agreed that we would go and find Uncle Felix in the Third Outer Ring.

My father have originally sent us out to call in reinforcements from Uncle Felix, but we got intercepted by the underlings of the

Cyan Flood Dragon King the moment we got to the Second Outer Ring,"

Olivia replied.

"Bring in reinforcements?"

Austin blurted out in surprise.

"So, the man in the red robe who chased aftera few days ago, is he also an underling of the Cyan Flood Dragon King?"

Austin anxiously probed. As a sea beast at the Transformation Realm, that man in red robe was able to use demonic power martial

arts skill in his attacks. Austin was growing more concerned about the strength of the so-called Cyan Flood Dragon King.
