The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"I always thought there was something wrong with you.

Who are you? You look familiar to me. Have we met before?"

Isis suddenly asked while Austin was avoiding her eyes.

Austin was surprised, wondering how she could recognize him.

However, he pretended to be very confused.

"I'm sure we haven't met before. Do | look like someone you know?" Austin carefully asked.

Xavier and Winnie were both curious to hear Isis.

Isis thoroughly examined Austin for a while, her eyes almost glinting a hint of recognition.

"A man | hate the most.

You look like him.

But you don't seem to be him.

Whatever. I'll find it out sooner or later."

Upon hearing Isis’ words, Xavier and Winnie immediately becalert.

They both knew who Isis hated the most, so they shot intense glares at Austin.

Xavier watched Austin intently for a while.

"I'll prove it," he uttered, never leaving his gaze on Austin.

Winnie had borne the scold and intense glare on Austin too.

"Ahem, sorry but | don't know who you are talking about.

My nis Marsh, and | am from the Grand Dragon Empire," Austin replied calmly.

Although he appeared collected, Austin was still slightly anxious as he could not gauge the circumstance.

"All right! Boys and girls, stop playing these guessing games here.

Go and play your stupid goutside and don't disturb me," Drew suddenly uttered.

He had grown impatient and annoyed at their exchanges.

Xavier, Winnie, and Isis hurriedly prepared themselves to leave.

"You'd better not be him.

Nevertheless, I'll find a way to prove it," Xavier added.

Before leaving, Xavier shot Austin one last intense glare. . .

"Well, looks like you've had a problem with the three," Drew said meaningfully.

He was obviously amused with their encounter as a wide grin flashed on his face.

"Huh? What do you mean, Elder Drew?" Austin asked in surprise.

He was shocked to learn that Drew had known he was pretending to be someone else. The old man knew his true identity!

"Well, little guy, don't be alarmed.

| mean no harm, and | won't meddle with your business.

And | don't care about your origin or your past.

You have a gift for alchemy. And that is all | care about.

You must take a step further and enhance it.

If you don't understand anything about alchemy, ask me," Drew offered kindly.

After getting along with Austin for the past couple of days, he had attached great importance to the young man's talent.

Austin was stunned to realize the fact that he be treated as a disciple rather than an assistant.

Drew's alchemy skill was indeed much better than that of Austin's.

Austin thought that he would make significant progress if he could stay at the Magic Hand Sect and learn alchemy under Drew's

guidance.

However, he still recognized Angus as his master in elixir and pill refinement.

Although Drew had many wonderful ideas and innovations, which made Austin inspired, Angus' skill was far better than the former.

Austin had already inherited the knowledge and theory of alchemy of Angus.

What he lacked was the actual practice of pill and elixir refinement, and he did not need to learn from Drew anymore.

What was more, Xavier, Winnie, and Isis had already been suspicious of him.

He could not stay at the Magic Hand Sect any longer and risk the possibility of being exposed.

His top priority was to find out the whereabouts of Angus' daughter as soon as possible to complete Angus' wishes.

Then, he would go and find sprecious herbs to help Angus rebuild his body.

Therefore, he did not have tto stay at the Magic Hand Sect to learn from Drew.

"Thank you for your praise. | will live up to your expectations."

Austin thanked Drew, pretending to be flattered. . .

"By the way, | would like to ask you about someone from the Magic Hand Sect."

Austin suddenly remembered that Drew was an elder of the Magic Hand Sect, so he must know about Angus' daughter.

Moreover, after spending stwith the old man, Austin had discovered that Drew was actually very easygoing.

So, he had the nerve to ask.

"Oh? Who are you going to askabout?"

Drew asked curiously.

"Her nis Rebecca.

Do you know her?"

Austin looked at Drew expectantly.

"Rebecca?

Why are you looking for her?" Drew asked, still puzzled.

Austin exulted. He was sure that Drew knew Angus' daughter.

"She helped one of the elder members of my family.

He often mentions it to the younger generation, and repeatedly tells us that if any of us cto the Magic Hand Sect in the future,

we must thank her in person for him," Austin explained.

He held his breath as he masterfully uttered the lie.

According to Angus, his daughter was a highly skilled pill refiner as well.

She had produced elixirs of exceptional quality that had benefitted most warriors.

That was why Austin dared to say so.

"Well, | see," Drew said, nodding.

Somehow, he cto understand and believe Austin's concocted lie.

"Do you know Rebecca?"

Austin dared to ask again as a glint of hope slowly rose from his heart.

"Of course | do.

The one you are talking about is a great elder of the Magic Hand Sect.

She has the squalifications as a sect leader.

It is said that she is the daughter of the founder of the Magic Hand Sect.

One day, the founder of the Magic Hand Sect disappeared suddenly.

The great elder, who had been searching for her father for more than two hundred years, was said to have traveled the entire

PrMartial World.

But she could not find her father, and later returned to the sect. She had since lived in seclusion on the shore of the Magic Hand

Lake and never paid attention to the affairs of the world anymore.

Three hundred years have passed since then, and we have never seen her.

You won't see her too.

The Magic Hand Lake is a forbidden place in the sect. No one is allowed to enter except the master," Drew said somewhat

helplessly.

Austin was not expecting to hear such anecdote.

He couldn't help but frown upon hearing that it would be hard to see Angus' daughter.

What was more saddening was that Rebecca had lived in seclusion for years, without any human contact.

It was not the story he had expected to hear about her.

However, to complete Angus' entrustment, Austin must go to the Magic Hand Lake no matter what.

"Yes, | heard from the elder member of my family that there is a man named Lyman, who rescues the poor and helps those who are

in need.

| wonder if you have ever heard of him?" Austin asked.

He had heard from Angus that Lyman was very good at disguising himself and pretending to be a kind and generous person.

"Lyman?"

Drew's expression turned weird at once.

"Don't you know that the sect leader of the Magic Hand Sect is Lyman?"

"What?

Lyman? He is the leader of the Magic Hand Sect?"

Austin could not have imagined that Lyman, who had framed Angus, was now the head of the Magic Hand Sect.

This was way beyond his expectation and more surprising than Rebecca's story.

"All right, Marsh.

Don't ask about such irrelevant things.

The great elder and sect leader are too far away for you to reach.

Focus on your alchemy.

There are sbasic knowledge and experiences of my alchemy recorded on the jade slip. Take it and study it.

In the formula for the Power-strengthening Pill, | intend to replace several elixirs.

So, | will go out to collect herbs for a couple of days.

While you stay here and helpguard this cave," Drew said.

He threw the jade slip to Austin and immediately left the cave.

Meanwhile, Austin was left thinking of a plan on how to enter the Magic Hand Lake and see Angus' daughter.
