The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The Brutal Blast Fist consisted of eight different fist forces and during its cultivation, Austin spent more ton the first one, the tearing force.

After successfully completing the cultivation of the same, he got a deep understanding about the Brutal Blast Fist. What's more, he was also in prphysical condition which was critical for cultivating fist skills. Therefore, now he felt much easier as he went on to cultivate the remaining fist forces.

It took him about half a month to cultivate them successfully, but Austin was able to finish most of the steps of this skill.

Yet another step remained which allowed a cultivator to unite the eight fist forces into one and produce an explosive power. Austin hadn't succeeded in mastering this step yet.

But he believed that if he practiced harder, he would be able to master that very soon too.

There were several skills on his agenda right now, which meant he couldn't spend his entire ton the sskill. After the Brutal Blast Fist, Austin began to shift his attention towards a spiritual sense skill called Demon-creating Skill.

Once mastered, this skill would allow a cultivator to morph a demon out of nowhere into his opponent's Soul Sea. The demon would then swallow the opponent's spiritual sense power and spiritual souls.

It was a very mysterious skill and, several levels higher than the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, which was much more powerful.

Such spiritual sense skills were rarely seen these days. However, several hundred years or even almost a thousand years ago, when the FlEmperor was alive, these skills would have been more common.

After a month of intensive, yet boring practice in the cultivation room, Austin finally succeeded in the cultivation of this powerful skill, allowing him to add one more spiritual sense skill to his repertoire in addition to the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle.

Now, he shifted his attention towards the cultivation of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, which included seven steps. Each step allowed the cultivator to morph parts of his body into a lion claw, a dragon head, a deer horn, a tiger back, a bear waist, a snake scale, and a leopard tail. Austin examined these steps thoroughly.

Then he began to practice the first step, Lion Claw.

After practicing for stime, Austin had a feeling that among the three grade seven martial arts skills he had picked up, the Kirin Golden-body Scripture was the most powerful and also the most difficult.

He knew that with increasing power, cultivation talso increased, and therefore, he had to be patient.

It took him about half a month but after that, Austin could morph his hands into a pair of lion claws. They were actually Kirin's claws, but were shaped like a lion's. What's more, they were also several times stronger than a lion's claw.

By the the had finished the first step of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, he had spent a whole two months inside the cultivation room.

In these two months, he had finished the cultivation of Demon-creating Skill, all the steps of the Brutal Blast Fist except for the last one, as well as the first step of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, Lion Claw.

Since he had mastered one of the tcompletely and had also learnt parts of the other two, Austin decided to leave the cultivation room now.

The moment he cout, Mike told him that Reuben, the youngest prince, had been here a dozen times in the last two months, looking for him.

In the last two months, the most sensational piece of news in the imperial capital city was that the emperor himself had decreed that his youngest son, Reuben, would becthe crown prince, and, later on, the emperor's successor.

Austin wasn't surprised, since he had given the soul-recovering fruits he had picked up from the Mysterious Nether World to the Prince Reuben himself.

But to his surprise, following his suit, Evan and Herbert had also locked themselves in their own cultivation rooms for practice and hadn't left.

Austin was amused, but felt satisfied as well. If Evan and Herbert could becmore powerful and not need his protection anymore, it would be in both of their interests, and he would be very happy for them.

While Austin was chatting with Mike in the palace hall, a servant ran over and told him that Prince Reuben was waiting for him outside.

'It seems that Reuben is a grateful person. As the crown prince, he is the second most powerful person in the Violet Orchid Empire now. However, he still cto visitso many times. I'm really flattered, ' Austin thought.

‘Clawand I'll claw thee' was Austin's principle of life.

He immediately asked the servant to invite the Prince in without delay.

"Hahaha! Austin, you have been in the cultivation room for two months now. | missed you so much! You are obsessed with cultivation. It's no wonder that you have made such great achievements at such a young age." Reuben, the youngest prince, uttered these words before he had fully entered the hall with several of his bodyguards. .

"Haha! Prince Reuben, you flatter me! Congratulations on becoming the crown prince!" Austin replied with a smile.

"Austin, | know that without you, | wouldn't have won the competition for the throne.

When I'm on the throne in the future, | will appoint you as the Lord Protector General to helprule the Violet Orchid Empire," Reuben said seriously.

"Oh? You'll letbe the Lord Protector General?" Austin was a little surprised.

'What does Reuben want from me?' he wondered.

In fact, in addition to his gratitude towards Austin for helping him win the throne, Reuben also had another reason for promising Austin such a prestigious post.

That was Austin's extremely high cultivation base. The prince knew that Austin had reached the Sky Realm already.

This was almost the highest cultivation level in the whole Violet Orchid Empire.

Besides, Austin was not even twenty yet. How incredible it was that a cultivator could reach such a high level at such a young age! When Austin had first cinto the imperial capital city and entered the Prince Reuben's mansion, he had only been at the premium stage of Earth Realm. Before long, he had broken through to the Mysterious Realm in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games. And now, he had already reached the medium stage of Sky Realm! Reuben had noticed this incredible progress that Austin had made, most of it with his own eyes.

With such speed of improvement, Austin would definitely break through to realms higher than the Sky Realm very soon.

At that point, no one in the Violet Orchid Empire would be a match for him! Reuben realized that if Austin could work for him and bechis henchman, he would face no problems in ruling the empire.

Austin thought for a short moment, and vaguely divined the Prince Reuben's intention.

He smiled lightly and answered, "Prince Reuben, thank you for your kindness! But what | pursue is the highest level of martial arts skills. Besides, | have gotten used to a carefree and unrestrained life, and I'm always wandering around.

This means I'm not the right person for an office job.

I'll also leave the Violet Orchid Empire soon, and | don't know when | will cback.

Please appoint someone more suitable as Lord Protector General." When he was in the Mysterious Nether World, Austin had promised Angus that he would find both his daughter, whose nwas Ariadne, and several precious natural resources too which were going to be necessary for Angus to rebuild his flesh body.

And he had also promised the FlEmperor that he would go to the Divine Continent, a much more advanced world than this one, with him when he reached the Basic Sacred Realm.

The Violet Orchid Empire was only a remote and small country. Since he had already reached the Sky Realm now, it would be hard for him to make further progress if he still stayed here.

Thinking about these things, Austin had already made up his mind to venture in the outside world soon.

"What? Austin, are you serious when you say that you will leave?" Prince Reuben asked, disappointed.

"Yes. I've had this idea for a long time." Austin nodded.

Reuben stared at him with a blank expression for a few seconds, and then continued, "It's okay. | know that the Violet Orchid Empire is too small for you. It's true that with your current cultivation base, there is not much room for your improvement here. | think you'd be right in venturing into the outside world." Reuben knew he couldn't force Austin to stay here.

"Austin, I'm sure you will reach an extremely high level in martial arts in the future. If I'm in trouble someday and need your help, | would appreciate it if you can givea hand for the sake of our friendship." Reuben told him sincerely. He knew that with Austin's cultivation base and talent, he would make more incredible achievements in the future. If he could get close to Austin now, maybe Austin would help him out in scritical moment.

"Hahaha! Prince Reuben, it's very kind of you to look up to me! If there's anything | can do for you in the future, do letknow and | will try my best." Austin replied with a laugh.

"Fine. Austin, then it's a deal!" Reuben's face lit up.

"Prince Reuben, could you please doa favor?" Austin asked.

"Oh? What's it? Con! Just tell me," Reuben asked, a little surprised.

"When | leave the Violet Orchid Empire, my friends would like to stay at Austin Palace in the imperial capital city.

| hope you can helptake care of them." Austin requested.

lvy and Sue, who were his fiancees now, had cultivation bases which were too low at the moment, so it would be impossible for him to take them with him.

Mike, Evan, and Herbert's cultivation bases were also not high enough. If someone cto make trouble, like the Gloomy Mountain Ancestor had done, Austin wouldn't be able to cback to protect them.

Prince Reuben had becthe crown prince now, so except for the emperor, he was the most powerful person in the imperial capital city.

It would be the wisest decision to let him take care of his friends who were going to live in the Austin Palace.

"Hahaha! That's as easy as pie! | will arrange simperial guards to ensure the safety of the Austin Palace.

| have recruited scapable cultivators in the last few days, and | will ask them to take care of your friends too," Reuben replied, patting his chest. He was trying to cozy up with Austin, and here was his chance. He was glad to do Austin a favor.

Austin was satisfied. Now, he would be able to leave Violet Orchid Empire without any worries.
