The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Chapter 87 A Challenge

Soon enough, Austin and Evan moved into the house they had rented for 3, 000 vital energy crystals,

and they were perfectly happy in their new home.

The house had one bedroom for each of them.

Since they had been poor, they didn't have many belongings except for a few sets of clothes, which

made moving in a breeze.

After they had settled in, Austin took out a purple bead from his Space Ring.

"Violet, come out and look at our new home," Austin called.

A stream of green smoke then rose from the bead, and with a flash of pink light, a little fox appeared in

front of Austin.

The fox lazily stretched its body on the floor as soon as she got out.

"Master, being stuck in the Illusion Bead all day long made me feel claustrophobic," Violet complained.

At the sight of Austin, she began to roll stubbornly on the floor.

"Have you recovered from your injury?" Austin asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm completely fine now," the little fox answered.

He could tell that she had indeed recovered by the healthy flush of color on her face. The demonic

beast had much better physical fitness than a human, so their injuries naturally healed faster than

human beings.

"Master, I prefer to be in human form," the little fox said.

The little fox turned into a beautiful and charming human girl in a flash.

Her gentle features curved into an attractive smile. Her lithe, slender body walked gracefully, and she

was irresistibly charming. It seemed that the whole house was filled with her charm.

"Tin!" Evan shouted excitedly.

He ran to Austin's room and was surprised to see a pretty girl when he got to the doorway.

The charming lady languidly stretched her body on the chair.

He just moved in with Austin and he was pretty sure that there were only the two of them.

'How did this pretty girl suddenly appear in Tin's room?' Evan wondered. 'This girl is really stunning and

more charming than other girls I've seen. The people that Tin likes are very special, ' he thought again.

He stood dumbfounded by the doorway, embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Then, Austin's voice broke his train of thought.

"Evan, come in and meet Violet, ' Austin urged.

Evan then shyly entered the room, but he looked down.

He didn't dare to look at the beautiful Violet.

"Evan, this is Violet. She will follow me from now on," Austin introduced.

Shock was written all over Evan's face, but he was also amazed. 'Tin is so quick to get such a beautiful

girl!' he thought.

"Got it…" he said and respectfully bowed to Violet.

"I'm Evan. Nice to meet you. You must be Tin's girlfriend," he added.

Austin's face immediately crumpled at Evan's words. It turned out that Evan had misunderstood what

he said.

Suddenly, Violet burst into laughs at Evan's words, her hand on her chest. She ogled Austin, and the

room instantly felt awkward.

Austin just sighed and tried to explain the situation to Evan. "You misunderstood me. You may just call

her Violet, she works for me," he said.

'Ah, she's not Tin's girlfriend, but his subordinate, ' he thought and nodded.

He couldn't understand their complicated relationship at the moment, but he wasn't going to ask further.

It was Austin's business, anyway.

"Violet, you shouldn't show yourself to anyone else except here, or else you'll expose yourself." Austin

turned serious and reminded her.

The beautiful girl nodded in understanding.

After that, Austin started to count his properties in his Space Ring.

There were still seven earth spirit fruits;

three Energy-boosting Elixirs;

and more than six thousand vital energy crystals.

That was about how much Austin owned now.

To an outer disciple, these things made him a rich man.

However, he knew that it wasn't nearly enough to sustain his cultivating.

Since ancient times, a man of literature didn't need to be rich in order to be promoted. On the contrary,

a cultivator must not only be diligent and have a good understanding of martial arts—they also needed

to have many resources to support their cultivating in order to achieve success.

Now, Austin was in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm and he had recently been practicing the

Golden Sun Scripture—but there was no sign of a breakthrough.

He knew it was because of the high quality of the Golden Sun Scripture. Unlike the common cultivation

method, it took a great quantity of vital energy to break through a level.

Austin planned to use the earth spirit fruit to improve his practice and make breakthroughs as soon as

possible.

In addition, Evan's cultivation base was too low—it was just in the third level of Energy Gathering

Realm. He needed a lot of resources to help him break through.

Moreover, Austin also had to provide Violet with some training resources. He would never allow her to

continue seducing boys and drink their blood like before. It was a heresy of cultivation which Austin

found unacceptable.

After his review of their situation, he realized that they had far less wealth than all of them needed.

It seemed that wealth wasn't only extremely important on earth in his previous life, but also in the Prime

Martial World.

He would find out a way to earn more vital energy crystals after they had settled down, or else they

would deplete their stores sooner or later.

In another house.

While Austin fretted about his wealth, a man was in a fit of rage in an elaborate, self-contained yard in

the same neighborhood.

"Bang!"

A table made of black iron and heavy wood was suddenly smashed into chips. The chips whirled in the

air like the table was struck by lightning.

At another table stood a young man, his face dark and frightful like the harsh winter.

His body emitted a dark and dangerous aura.

He was tough, capable, experienced, sharp, and spunky!

His every move exuded brilliance. It was quite impressive!

After a while, another voice spoke. "Billy, please avenge us. He broke my wrist," the voice said.

"What's more, when I said your name—he claimed that you didn't deserve your reputation, and called

you dumber than a bucket of spit," he added.

It was Barton—he and five other teens wore thick gauze around their wrists, with boards that held the

bones in place. It gave off a strong scent of liquid medicine.

Barton complained about how he had been bullied by a new outer disciple.

In front of him was his brother Billy, who ranked the fifteenth among all the outer disciples!

He just got back from cultivating himself in the wilderness when Barton came to him.

Billy adored Barton, his only younger brother. When they came to Sun Sect, their father always

reminded him to protect Barton.

Now that he had gotten a certain reputation in the outer sect, his brother certainly got to live a

comfortable life.

Today however, Barton got beaten by a new outer disciple, who had recently been promoted from grunt

disciple.

If this got out, he would lose his dignity among the outer disciples.

He might as well be the new butt of jokes.

"What is his name?" Billy asked icily.

Barton fidgeted as he answered his brother's question.

"I asked those new disciples. His name is Austin Lin."

"And he's supposed to be the strongest new disciple in this promotion," he added.

"Austin Lin?"

A strange look suddenly spread across Billy's face when he heard the name.

"Wasn't he a fool before?"

"How did you know?" Barton asked in surprise.

"Yes, Billy. I heard he was a fool, and had a sudden recovery recently."

"It was him!" Billy exclaimed.

Billy was startled as he thought of the person who dominated the outer sect three years ago. If the

enemy was Austin, it might not be easy for him to deal with things.

During that time, Billy was just a nobody in the outer sect. Later on, he got his current spear skill,

acquired half level spear intent, and obtained his present strength and status.

"How's his cultivation base?" Billy asked.

"It's the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm," Barton said. "But, Billy, he has a great bodily

movement skill, or we wouldn't have been beaten by him." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"He's in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm?" Billy asked incredulously.

He paused for a moment before asking again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He's indeed in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm," Barton said firmly. "I've

confirmed it with the new disciples."

"Ha ha ha!" Billy began to laugh.

He laughed so heartily that the pressure he felt vanished.

"Good… this is wonderful! The former number one outer disciple is now just in the sixth level of Energy

Gathering Realm.

Austin, you were truly respected when you dominated the outer sect.

But, now that you've fallen, you ought to behave yourself. You shouldn't be so arrogant the minute you

got promoted.

Now that you've picked on me, Austin—I'm going to do something that will shock the outer sect. I will

trample on you in front of all the outer disciples. I will show all the people how the former number one

outer disciple groans under my feet," Billy declared.

"This is your consequence for offending me. I'll make you look bad and they'll spat on you forever!" he

added.

Billy was high-spirited now, and his awe-inducing spear intent sliced the leaves of a Chinese rose

beside him, its branches flying away.

With his goal in mind, Billy planned to challenge Austin. "Somebody arranges a challenge. I, Billy Tang,

am going to challenge the new outer disciple Austin Lin," he announced.

What?

Billy wanted to challenge Austin?

Everyone present in the yard froze.
