The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Johnson, the steward of the Sun Sect, was meditating and practicing in a magnificent house in Peace Town.

He had reached the peak of the medium stage of the Earth Realm in vital energy. Of late, he had started feeling strongly that the tto upgrade to the premium stage of the Earth Realm had arrived.

He had originally planned to keep close at hand practice to get to the premium stage of the Earth Realm with every bit of effort in this period.

But before that, Marvin had asked him to kill Austin secretly to settle old scores.

Everyone knew that Marvin was Johnson's nephew. But what nobody knew was that Marvin was born of the adultery between Johnson and his sister-in-law, which meant that Johnson loved him even more dearly.

After receiving Marvin's notice that Austin had left Sun Sect for Peace Town, Johnson rushed to Peace Town, only to find Marvin's rotten corpse.

Knowing for sure that Austin had killed Marvin, Johnson was consumed with hatred for Austin.

He led a group of loyal disciples who he had secretly trained in the Sun Sect in the past to Peace Town, vowing to tear Austin to shreds.

However, for several days in a row, Austin was nowhere to be found in Peace Town.

So now, although Johnson was meditating in the room, his thoughts kept swirling inside his head. Marvin's death stuck in his mind and he decided to find Austin as soon as possible and kill him.

As he meditated, a disciple knocked on the door, shouting anxiously.

Johnson's heart jolted, a hope that they had found Austin's whereabouts taking root within him.

"Cin." At his words, the door swung open and a disciple walked in.

"Steward, Isaac seems to have found Austin." "What? Really? They have? Good job! Marvin, you can rest assured. I'll get even with that bastard! And Austin, I'll beat you hard, and then torture you in the cruelest ways in the world! You'll bitterly regret killing my dear Marvin!" A vicious monster growled within Johnson.

"Call everyone to band together and find out where exactly Austin is. Don't let him escape again!". . . The north side of Peace Town.

After Austin left Peace Town, he crossed hills and jungles and waded across a river. Six hours later, he cto a large dense jungle that was secluded and uninhabited.

In the woods, trees put forth their blossoms for his eyes to feast on, wildflowers and grasses were verdant, beautiful and fragrant, making the place poetic and picturesque.

‘The environment here is good, ' thought Austin. 'And most importantly, it's very quiet, and no one will disturb me. What an amazing place forto practice the second stage!" Showing no interest in the surrounding scenery, Austin began to prepare for his practice.

First, he looked around the forest for water.

A clear stream flowed not far from the forest.

Austin took out the big iron bucket that he had bought in Peace Town. The bucket was about two meters high, so big that it needed three adults to get their arms around it. Ordinary people who had never been trained couldn't lift it, but Austin had reached the premium stage of the Earth Realm and had a thousand pounds of power in his arms. So it was easy for him to carry it.

He fetched half a bucket of water and carried it back to the open space in the woods.

He then took out the elixirs, on which he had spent a million vital energy crystals from the Space Ring and threw them one by one into the bucket.

Once he had poured 20 pounds of vigor tree sap into the bucket as supplements, the elixirs began to react. It was like pouring water into a frying pan; they hissed and smoked instantly.

After a full reaction, the water in the bucket turned red and bubbled. The temperature was a little higher than that of a frying pan.

Seeing this, Austin took out sother elixirs and gulped them down. The elixirs that he had purchased for one million vital energy crystals were divided into two parts, most for soaking, and a small part for taking in directly.

After he had taken the elixirs, the liquid in the bucket turned dark red and bubbled furiously, soon bursting over the rim and overflowing.

A strange, strong fragrance of medicine pervaded the woods, smelling like good wine.

It was time! During the course of his practice, Austin had repeatedly reviewed the incantations of the second stage of the Overlord Body- refining Formula.

Seeing that the bucket had started to bubble and overflow, he knew that he could now jump in and soak in the elixirs.

So he took off his clothes and jumped into the bucket.

The hot sap instantly wrapped around him, stabbing every pore and cell like sharp knives. It was so completely around him that it felt like it was trying to take his life.

Warriors felt like they were dying as they practiced the Overlord Body-refining Formula. It required great perseverance and endurance of pain. Only those who were strong-willed, not afraid of hardship, and could endure great pain and suffering were usually able to persevere through the process of soaking.

The elixirs required for the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula were much more expensive than those needed in the first stage. Moreover, the pain was doubled.

In the bucket, Austin twisted his body into the posture of the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, suffering unspeakably.

He felt that his body and soul were both undergoing the severest of trials. It was like falling into a frying pan, climbing a mountain of swords, or plunging into a sea of flames.

The pain was unbearable. . . . . .

It felt like he was undergoing the cruelest penalties in the world.

At the stime, his body was being transformed by the liquid in the bucket. Every part of his body, including the pores, cells, flesh and blood, muscles and bones, and meridians were constantly being torn and reorganized. Inch by inch, he becstronger and stronger, like a butterfly breaking through a cocoon or a phoenix rising from the ashes. It was that kind of nirvana! The final result depended on Austin's willpower and endurance. If he managed to stand the pain, he would be reborn, but if he failed, he would even lose his life.

The steaming medicinal juice in the bucket made sure that the medicinal power permeated through to Austin's internal organs and veins, through his limbs, and continuously strengthened his body.

"Aaaaarghh! This is unbearable! If it goes on like this, I'll be roasted alive!" Austin yelped, almost wanting to jump out of the bucket.

For a moment, he wanted to give up.

He uttered hysterical cries of pain, hoarse and exhausted, as if he were undergoing the suffering of reincarnation and the scourge of Avici Hell! His cries scared the nearby birds and animals away.

This was not a pain that normal people could endure! "Aaah! | can't stand it! It's killing me! Ah... Feels like billions of sharp knives cutting through my body and soul! Aaaahhhh!" Austin cried out in pain.

At the stime, another voice shouted, "The pain is nothing! If you can't tolerate this pain, how can you pursue martial arts? Warriors, through practice, acquire great divine power and skills, which in itself defies the laws of nature and changes your life.

No cross, no crown. If you give up in the face of pain, frustration and physical suffering, you won't be able to pursue and explore the highest achievements of martial arts in the future!" "You're right. | have to bear it! | can't give up! AR!" Austin felt like he was dying. He gave a grimace of pain, completely dripping with sweat.

In that moment, however, he felt that despite such extrpain, his soul and spirit were the most sensitive and soberest, and his thinking was over ten times faster than usual.

In his soul, there were two fierce swords. The phantoms of expert swordsmen practicing their fighting skills with swords appeared in his mind. Using the movements of Illusory Swordsmanship, the two swords pierced the air with mighty clangs.

It turned out that the intent of the warrior was a very fantastic state, which was the soul of the warrior, his comprehension of the martial arts and the general situation of the world, and his understanding of the law of the world. It was one of the deepest realms of his soul. The level two sword intent that Austin had grasped was usually hidden in his soul.

Now, his soul was tormented. The level two sword intent that had hidden in his soul was roused and erupted uncontrollably.

Austin didn't intentionally urge the two swords, but they began to practice in his soul.

Moreover, his soul and spirit were the most sensitive and soberest, and he could think faster than usual. This meant that he had a deeper understanding of the sword intent. He finally knew the answers to the questions that had confused him when he practiced martial arts before.

'Oh, | see. That's why, ' mused Austin. But he was soon attracted again by the fighting skills that the two swords in the depths of his soul were showing him.

As he paid attention to the swordsmanship, his mind seemed to merge with the two swords. His heart went with the swords, and he even forgot his pain and suffering.

The hoarse and exhausted cries of pain stopped abruptly.

The two swords in Austin's soul seemed to have removed his pain and turned it into nothing.

The medicinal juice in the bucket kept permeating Austin's body.

He fixed his eyes on the two swords in his soul. With the changing movements of the Illusory Swordsmanship, he completely integrated himself into a clear sword intent realm. The level two sword intent becmore refined, sharper, and purer.

Moreover, in this clear sword intent realm, he found that the two swords in his soul began to change and wanted to make sbreakthroughs.

Finally, with a clear click, the two swords irresistibly merged into one and then separated again. In Austin's soul, there were three swords standing sharp in a line! Amidst this extrphysical pain, Austin's soul ushered in the third-level sword intent.

And now, he had gone one step further in swordsmanship and achieved level three sword intent.
