Chapter 211 Battle of Wills, Marvin vs. Austin (Part One)


    As Marvin moved into his stance preparing to fight, Austin''s gaze turned sharp. Marvin seemed to have


    enhanced his cultivation greatly during thest two weeks.


    Last time, when he was defeated by Austin, his cultivation base was at the eight level of the Energy


    Gathering Realm, and at that time his grade four palm skill, Giant Magic Palm, had reached Major


    Achievement Stage. He had not yet learned any palm intent, but that was no longer true since his first


    opponent of the day had already felt its power.


    Raines was only at the eight level of the Energy Gathering Realm, and his grade four bodily movement

    skill could not give out the same power as Marvin'' level one palm intent formed numerous palm figures.


    Once their battlemenced, Marvin'' right palm moved forward, bringing with it the vital energy


    needed to drive the numerous palms together. He charged at Raines to his chest, causing a dreadful


    sound to be heard throughout the Martial Arts Square.


    Feeling the pain blossom within his chest, Raines shouted, "Stop, I yield!."


    Raines'' shout promptly made him the loser of the match, as he knew it would when he shouted those


    words.


    But, Marvin did not stop his numerous palms. He continued as if he did not hear Raines'' shouting.


    Bang! A sound burst out and the body of Raines flew out of the fighting court instantly like a bullet, and


    then heavily he fell to the ground.


    Marvin was dered the winner with only one move!


    The whole Martial Arts Square went into an uproar within seconds.


    shing back to when Marvin was defeated by Austin, most of the outer disciples were shocked to find


    that Marvin was not as strong as they had expected. Since then, his position in the outer part of the


    Sun Sect had declined a great deal and he was not as respected as before.


    But now that Marvin had defeated Raines, who was at the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm


    by one move, some of those same outer disciples began to look at Marvin with respect again, as they


    were awed by his strength. The outer disciples clearly knew that if they were in the same position as


    Raines, they would not have been able to defend themselves when faced against Marvin''s high grade


    palm.


    Austin also thought that if Marvin had had the same grade of power thest time they fought, he


    probably would not have defeated him. . . .


    After Marvin defeated Raines, he did not wait for the announcement from Elder Xing, but instead began


    looking intensely into the audience as if he was looking for something, or someone.


    "Austin Lin! I challenge you," Marvin abruptly shouted! "I know you are standing somewhere in this


    audience! I will give you the opportunity to fight me at my best! I will even sweeten the deal, if you can


    defeat me I will allow you to be ranked at the fifth position," Marvin challenged as he continued to shout


    into the audience!


    His voice carried over the audience despite the noise level of the audience. Each word he spoke was


    clearly heard by all the outer disciples. As he spoke, Marvin unleashed his Vital Energy from his Elixir


    Field.


    All the disciples were shocked at the magnitude of his vital energy.


    After hearing the words Marvin shouted, most of the outer disciples felt excitement at the possibility of


    another fight!


    Most of the outer disciples knew about the history between Marvin and Austin. Now they were


    interested to see what would happen from Marvin''s public challenge to Austin.


    "Austin, you need to go and teach him a lesson. He has be so arrogant for someone who was just


    defeated by you. I am so tired of seeing him behave like this!"


    Herbert spoke these words to Austin after he heard Marvin''s shouted speech. For some time, he had


    been bullied by Marvin''s followers and over time grew to hate Marvin.


    Austin gave a slight smile but he did not step out in front of the audience. On the contrary, he retreated


    a few steps to further conceal his position within the audience.


    "Austin, what are you doing? Stop moving backwards! Just go and teach him a lesson!" Not


    understanding Austin''s hesitancy in epting Marvin''s challenge, Herbert continued to urge him into


    action.


    Evan, Austin''s best friend, behaved differently. He always followed Austin''s actions closely, so he


    needed no exnation as to why he was moving deeper into the audience. Trusting his friend, he also


    began moving backwards to stand beside his friend.


    Fed up with Herbert''s persistent words, Austin threateningly moved in close to Herbert and said, "If you


    say that again I will kick you into the arena instead, and then you can fight him."


    Herbert became frightened. At his cultivation level, it would be so easy for Austin to kick him into the


    fighting court. Immediately shutting his mouth, he moved to stand behind Austin.


    "Ha, ha, Austin is so broad-minded and different from others.


    You don''t give attention to every made dog who barks at you. A mature cultivator would not engage


    with some mad dog."


    Herbert was really a thick-skinned guy, so not taking Austin''s words to heart he changed his attitude


    and started to praise Austin''s behavior. . .


    "Ha, ha! Austin Lin, have you be a turtle who hides in the shell? Do you think you can hide from


    me?" Marvinughingly stated while standing in the fighting circle.


    No matter how hard he looked, or how much he taunted Austin, his challenge remained unmet.


    The outer disciples within the audience also began to whisper amongst themselves as the challenge


    remained unanswered.


    Some were guessing as to why Austin would not stand up and reply to Marvin'' challenge.


    Another stated that Austin did note to watch the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge at all.


    Someone assumed that Austin might be afraid since he saw Marvin'' cultivation level had improved


    greatly in such a short time.


    While a select few imed Austin disdained to reply to Marvin'' challenge altogether. . .


    "Okay this is over," Elder Xing shouted against the growing whispers of the audience. "First, today''s top


    fifth position will remain with Marvin."


    "Next, the challenge for the fourth position begins right now!"


    Elder Xing''s low voice could be heard throughout the audience. His words effectively put a stop to


    Marvin'' behavior.


    With thest syble leaving Elder Xing''s mouth, a figure with great power stood up in the area where


    the top ten were seated. He wore a cruel expression and killing intent shed in his eyes.


    Laughing loudly like a beast, the figure shouted while looking down at the audience, "Okay, I will ept


    anyone who has the confidence in his own strength and truly believes they can challenge me. I''m


    known to break necks!"
