Chapter 213 Austin Enters The Ring
The young man, handsome as ever, felt annoyed that his opponent was condescending him. He gritted
his teeth at the sheer amount of contempt directed towards him.
With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and sped his hands into a fist. Then he felt the vital energy
gaining pace, its surges rushing through his veins as he felt vital and energetic inside. His confidence
began to rise. He felt his spirits lifting, and he waited for this vital energy force topletely engulf him.
He took a step back and let his veins throb with energy and power. He was itching to go straight for the
opponent. He waited a moment, and then charged towards his opponent.
The handsome young man''s opponent stood on the other end. He watched this youngd sping his
hands. He knew this was going to be a battle he would enjoy. A cold, cunning smile ran across his
swarthy, stout face.
The stout man leaned forward a little, in anticipation of the pace he was about to gather. As his torso
bent forward, his legs gave way to a muffled explosion and he burst towards his opponent—leaving
behind just a sh of ck light.
The handsome young man was out of wits for a moment. For a second his opponent was far away, and
the next there was just a sh of ck light. A momentter, he found the stout man upon him. Before
he could react, his opponent was ready with his fists, about to thunder down a punch at him.
The young man did not expect such pace, and before he could make a defensive move, his opponent''s
hand punched right onto his chest. The strong vital energy force burst like a volcano from the stout
man''s palm.
Bang! The punch roared.
A massive thump echoed across the ring. The handsome young man, who was moments ago ready to
attack, was struck by the punch. This blow was so powerful that he staggered to gather his feet. Blood
spewed from his mouth all over the ground, making a long trail of the damage.
The crowd was alive with excitement. They were here to see drama and they were going to get it.
The swarthy man''s dexterity and power were appreciated by the crowd. Yet, they knew there was a

massive gap between the talents of these young men. The stout one was extremely powerful, and
could crush his opponent in moments.
The handsome young man took support at the edge of the ring and steadied himself. He looked pitiful
and cut a sorry figure—standing there and whimpering. He wiped blood from his face, looking mentally
dejected. He knew it wasn''t possible for him to win here. Without a word, he jumped out of the ring.
"Huh! That''s very sensible of you, sissy," the swarthy man mocked.
The swarthy man was ted! All it had taken was one punch to beat his opponent.
Three battles took ce next. All these duels were a fight for a ce in the top three—the three
strongest men in the whole outer sect. There were not many disciples who took part in this prestigious
In the end, an expert sword-wielding disciple Luther Hua remained standing in the ring. He had already
defeated two disciples. Moreover, his swordsmanship was a grade four sword skill, the Surging
Swordsmanship. For reference, the vast majority of disciples did not even have ess to grade four
martial skills.
His grade four sword skill was not acquired from the Sun Sect. Instead, he had chanced upon a
teacher while traveling and had acquired this skill.
Luther Hua was not only a master of the high-grade sword skill, but had also gained a level one sword
intent.
The caliber of the intent of a high-grade martial skill was considerably more lethal than that of a low-
grade martial skill.
For example, a cultivator''s level one sword intent that he understood with a grade three sword skill was
much weaker than his level one sword intent that he understood with a grade four sword skill.
Luther Hua''s cultivation base of the vital energy was in the peak of level nine of Energy Gathering
Realm. With his grade four sword skill and level one sword intent, his strength was almost unmatched
in the entire outer sect.
After Luther Hua had entered the ring and defeated those two challengers in a row, silence had spread
through the Martial Arts Square. Everyone was waiting to see if there would be another challenger.
However, there was no movement for a long time. Everyone thought that Luther Hua was now qualified
to challenge the former third-best disciple.
Fair stood up slowly, about to speak out the results.
"I''ll try," a voice rang out somewhere from the crowd.
Fair was about to speak, when he heard the voice. An emaciated young man dressed in gray clothes
appeared in front of the ring.
He stepped inside the ring and gave Luther Hua a courteous smile. . .
"Violet, does your method of concealing the breath of vital energy''s fluctuations work?"
"Don''t worry, my Magical Aura-changing Skill is marvelous. Once you have performed it, even the
cultivator of the Mysterious Realm would not be able to see your real cultivation base withouting
close to you."
"Okay, that''s exactly what I need."
The young man in the gray clothes, who had just shown up, was Austin!
Murmurs rippled through the crowd.
Immediately, many outer disciples in the crowd recognized the young man in the gray clothes as
Austin.
The audience turned restless because Austin was a famous figure. He was the number one among the
outer disciples three years ago, and had recently be a sensational figure after he had defeated
Billy and Marvin.
Marvin was in the allotted space for the top ten, and he watched Austin intently as he entered the ring.
Marvin had assumed Austin was afraid of him and hence hadn''t responded to his open challenge. But
that wasn''t the case as Austin prepared to challenge Luther Hua for the third ce.
Austin had nned everything to his strengths. He had absolutely no interest in challenging Marvin, but
was eyeing the third ce itself.
''A conceited and arrogant man!'' thought Marvin in a fit of rage.
Marvin''s face twisted in anger as he looked at Austin, the man who had humiliated him multiple times.
Meanwhile, another man, who was also seated in the allotted space for the top ten, was also watching
Austin intently. This man, however average he looked, was the cultivator ranked first among the outer
disciples.
"Haha, that''s funny! I thought he would challenge me, but he instead chooses to challenge for the third
ce. He still seems to want to hide his strength and keep a low profile."
"Austin Lin," a voice came from the other end of the ring.
Luther Hua simply called out Austin''s name. It turned out that he knew Austin too.
"Wow, looks like I am really famous.", Austin remarked.
Austin was resigned to the situation, and his cover was all but blown. Judging from the atmosphere,
most people present knew him.
"Of course, as the number one in the outer sect three years ago, you were the one who all the disciples
looked up to. Then quite unexpectedly, you disappeared for three years, came back to be an
outer disciple again. Besides, you just defeated Billy and Marvin. How can someone with suchplex
experiences like yours not be famous?" Luther Hua said.
Luther Hua''s eyes fixated on Austin.
"Well, you''ve got a point there."
Unable to refute him, Austin nodded approvingly.
"But you do know that to qualify to challenge the third ce you have to defeat me," Luther pointed out.
"I understand."
Austin shed him a wry, all-knowing smile.
"Let''s make it quick then," Luther Hua said.
He raised his long sword and pointed it at Austin. At the same time a steady stream of vital energy
force flew to the pointy end of the sword, and rays of shapeless yet significant amounts of sword aura
began to diffuse.
Austin''s battle with Marvin was not long ago, and Luther Hua was there observing him. He knew that
Austin was also in the level nine of Energy Gathering Realm and possessed amazing physical strength.
What was more, Austin had practiced the violent and formidable Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill that
was well-known throughout the Sun Sect.
Therefore, as soon as Austin came to the ring, Luther Hua immediately became determined and
focused. It was an important battle. If he didn''t try his best, he was likely to lose.
