    Austin punched the vital energy cover incessantly as if he was a fierce humanoid beast. Marvin felt


    Austin''s punching was gradually destabilizing the vital energy cover and it would be broken any time


    now.

    Marvin marveled at the person in front of him. How strong and vigorous was he! He attacked like a


    ferocious beast not by the virtue of his vital energy but by using his physical strength. Even his breaths


    exuded great power.


    "But how could this be?"


    Earlier, at the Beast Mountain, they had fought against two level-two evil apes together. By now, Marvin


    clearly knew Austin''s strengths.


    Of course, when they had not fought, he supposed Austin''s biggest advantage to be his agile


    movements.


    As for the cultivation of vital energy andbat capability, Marvin believed that he could outperform


    Austin.


    But several monthster, the Austin he was looking at was entirely a different person who had


    extraordinary physical strength.


    "Is it possible that Austin acquired a superior elixir to enhance physical strength?"


    Marvin spected on this but then a secondter, something broke his trail of thought.


    "Austin, do you think you can break my vital energy cover with brute force alone? Hum! physical


    strength, it''s so shallow that you can never reach a higher level."


    After saying that, Marvin''s billowing vital energy flowed more quickly on the vital energy cover.


    The almost broken vital energy cover immediately became firm and steady again.


    Austin saw that and promptly concentrated on the strength of his arms and began to beat the cover as


    if it were a drum.


    Boom!


    He punched the cover non-stop.


    Marvin kept moving backwards in an attempt to get rid of Austin''s punches.


    But Austin''s cultivation base and bodily movements were now far better than Marvin''s. No matter how


    he moved and dodged, Austin managed to appear in front of him and hit the vital energy cover with


    uracy and force.


    After several failures, Marvin eventually realized that he could not avoid Austin''s punches only by


    relying on his bodily movements.


    In any case, Marvin couldn''t remove the vital energy cover from his body for if he did, he would be


    without the protection of the cover and squashed into pieces by Austin''s powerful punches.


    Though Marvin was confident about his vital energy cultivation base, he had never worked on his body


    and thus, was weaker inparison to Austin''s.


    To the disciples watching this whole scene, it looked as if Marvin was intentionally trying his strength


    against Austin.


    Austin continued to carry on with the punches as Marvin defended himself behind the vital energy


    cover.


    "This guy has some scary strength. He is as strong as an ox going by the tireless punches he is pulling


    constantly!"


    Thought a disciple, struck in awe by the disy of Austin letting off his strength.


    "Definitely! His body is most likely to weigh more than a thousand pounds."


    Chipped in a senior outer disciple who was also rapt by the scene in front of them.


    "Hum, it''s useless. Real strength is based on the level of the vital energy cultivation base. Austin will be


    soon defeated by our Marvin," disagreed a devout follower of Marvin.


    Other disciples knew it was Marvin''s follower who had just spoken. Fearing that he would hold a


    grudge lest they disagreed with him, no one dared express anything contrary. Plus, this follower knew


    one or two things about taking revenge.


    When the follower had barely shushed everyone into meek silence, suddenly, a string of cracking


    sounds, small but prating, sounded off with rity.


    Then all the people saw that Marvin''s vital energy cover had begun to crack, something none of them


    were expecting to happen.


    At first, it was a crack. And then, it spread into a spider web as cracks fissured all over the vital energy


    cover.


    "How is this possible?"


    Marvin shouted aghast.


    He tried to avoid the punches again, but in vain.


    It was then as shocking to the spectators


    that under Austin''s continuous violent attack, the vital energy cover burst as easily as a soap bubble


    popped under the sun.


    Part of thest punch broke the vital energy and the rest hit Marvin''s chest heavily.


    Marvin hastily hit back with a palm against the punch.


    But it was so powerful that Marvin was driven back several meters away by the force, drawing a long


    mud track in his fall backwards. Marvin felt as if he were struck by lightning.


    Finding a firm footing, he wiped his mouth with his hand and found drops of fresh blood on it.


    The crowd was now busy watching Austin, who looked like a maniac, still beating Marvin with


    continuous punches.


    Hiss...


    There were endless gasps of astonishment.


    The physical strength of Austin was too striking to sit still.


    Most outer disciples thought that they would not be able to withstand Austin''s punch that packed in


    such explosive power.


    After seeing the bloodstain on his hand, Marvin slowly looked up and stared at Austin.


    His eyes grew cold like a poisonous snake who wanted to devour his enemy.


    "Well, I don''t expect you to have practiced such powerful physical strength in several days. But if you


    think you can outdo me just by it, you are wrong!"


    Marvin said to Austin with a malevolent and moody expression.


    "Still, I confess that you are the guy who deserves all my strength to fight against."


    There was an arrogant look on Marvin''s face with some kind of homicidal intent.


    "This is my newly practiced fourth grade palm skill. I was going to reserve it until the top 10 challenges.


    Now you should feel honored that I am using it on you."


    With that, Marvin moved slowly towards Austin. The crowd could feel Austin exuding a strong urge to


    kill.


    He let off all his vital energy. His palms wore an earthy yellow sheen as if they were covered by a thick


    extremely formidable.


    "Hum! Austin, you think that you can beat me with your increased physical strength. How naive can you


    be! Be humbled into nothingness! A few months ago, you were cornered by me at the Beast Mountain.


    Today, too, I can crush you as easily. I with my bare hands will ughter you here. Try the power of the


    skill of the Giant Magic Palm."


    Marvin had wanted to reserve this newly practice palm skill until the top 10 challenges of outer


    disciples, which then he could have used as an ace in the hole to win the top 10 challenges.


    But now, Marvin knew that he had to use it at this moment.


    He could also try the power of the Giant Magic Palm today.
