    principal disciple.

    "Elder Luo, please remember that Austin has beaten Timothy here in public, fair and square, with so


    many witnesses watching. If we really cancel his qualification as per your proposal, what would the


    others say about us? There would be no integrity to our Sun Sect anymore!"


    Elder Jiang questioned Luo angrily. His hot temper was making it difficult to bear the injustice that Elder


    Luo was looking to mete out.


    "If we can get a real genius to the Sect by sacrificing just a little fame that our Sect enjoys, then it


    Jiang?"


    Elder Luo said, his voice silky and eerily elegant, giving out the impression that he was really pressing


    for justice.


    "Fair points from both of you. But please stop arguing and listen to me for a minute. Three years ago,


    Austin was attacked and badly injured. His brain was hurt at that time and he lost a lot of himself.


    I''ve heard that after the attack, for a long time, his cultivation base was stuck at the third level of the


    Energy Gathering Realm.


    And I also heard that, around two months ago, his sanity was suddenly restored to normal. And his


    cultivation base was back to the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm after only two months''


    cultivation. Just think about it. He has progressed from the third level to the ninth level of the Energy


    Gathering Realm in just two months! Such a cultivation speed already proves that he is a rare martial


    arts genius!"


    This revtion took the Elders'' collective breath away. Breaking through six levels in two months! Such


    speed and skill could only be described as genius.


    If there was a word higher than that, even that couldn''t be enough to describe the talent that Austin was


    exhibiting.


    "From this point of view, Austin doesn''t really seem like a normal person," one Eldermented.


    "Rising up six levels in two months still feels too good to be true, even if he was once at the ninth level


    of the Energy Gathering Realm. But he can really be considered a super genius!" another Elder said


    thoughtfully.


    Elder Luo scowled as he heard thesements but didn''t say anything more.


    "Since nobody else has any other concern, we shouldn''t deprive him of the opportunity of bing a


    principal disciple," Theon dered.


    The Elders nodded in agreement. Elder Luo had to ept the decision and keep silent, now that the


    matter had reached this stage.


    Fair then left his chair to announce to the crowd that Austin''s challenge had been sessful, and that


    Austin would rece Timothy to be the third-ranked outer disciple. The best part of the news was


    that he was also promoted to the position of a principal disciple.


    The disciples standing in the square looked at Austin, faces raw with envy. Austin gave a slight smile,


    brimming with satisfaction at the result. . . . .


    The challenges for the second and the first ce were to take ce next.


    But the problem was, there was no disciple daring enough to challenge the first and second ranked


    disciples.


    Timothy, who was previously ranked third, was already at the Earth Realm. That meant that the


    disciples who ranked first and second also needed to have a cultivation base of the Earth Realm. And


    right now, no one else had the confidence and strength to challenge them.


    It was not long before this session of the Ten Masters Challenge was wrapped up, its preliminary


    ranking having been finalized.


    Marquis Qin ranked first.


    Wade Zhangsun ranked second and


    third-ced was Austin.


    Fair continued with his announcements, dering the challenge to have now moved to the second


    round. The new top ten masters could challenge a higher-ranking disciple if they weren''t satisfied with


    their own rankings. And everyone who had been challenged had to ept one challenge of the lot that


    came their way.


    Marvin stared gloomily at Austin. After a long time, he sighed and reined his impulse.


    Although he nursed a profound hatred of Austin in his heart and would have liked nothing better than to


    defeat and humiliate Austin in public, he fully understood that he was really no match for Austin.


    Austin''s cultivation base was at par with his, if not more. Even though he had understood level one


    palm intent, Austin had gone a step ahead and grasped level two sword intent. What was more, Austin


    had just beaten an Earth Realm cultivator before their eyes!


    After thinking through his decision over and over again, Marvin finally gave up. He would not challenge


    Austin.


    The remaining disciples too decided not to challenge the top three masters. It took quite a bit of a


    mental struggle, but they decided it was for the best.


    These disciples were the top ten masters of the outer sect for a reason. They were clever, sensitive,


    and flexible, and had a clear understanding of their own strengths. No one was willing to humiliate


    themselves in front of thousands of people.


    With that, the top ten ranking challenge now came to an end.


    The top three disciples, Marquis, Wade, and Austin were formally instated as principal disciples of the


    sect.


    After the game, most disciples watching the challenge were reluctant to leave. They fell into hot


    discussions, talking enthusiastically about thepetition. And everyone''s conversation revolved


    around Austin.


    Because Austin had been one of the main focuses of this challenge.


    And now that thepetition had ended, Austin left Martial Arts Square along with Evan and Herbert. .


    . .


    On the second day, a steward came up to Austin to inform him that he needed to now take up his


    identity as a principal disciple.


    Austin exchanged his Identity Jade Badge and obtained a batch of cultivation resources.


    The principal disciples lived in separated caves in a grand valley that had the most intense Reiki effect


    in the Sun Sect.


    Every cave had one separate Energy-gathering Array, which was many levels higher than that of


    Energy-gathering Array in Austin''s previous cultivation room in his yard.


    All the living fixtures and facilities were prepared in every cave.


    Austin did not have much luggage. He moved all his belongings to the cave allocated to him in one go.


    As he set his luggage down, he looked carefully around the cave and could not help but sigh. A


    principal disciple was much better off than the normal disciples in the Sun Sect.


    After unpacking, Austin sat down, feeling the rich spirit of heaven and earth surround him. He felt


    cultivate in such an environment.


    Minutester, he crossed his legs and began to try and refine a skill. His hands crossed before his


    chest, with cycles of bright golden vital energy force dancing around his fingers.


    He was cultivating the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill.


    The Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was a grade four skill. Austin could implement the first step to


    generate a threeyered Grand Pagoda.


    When he had mastered the first step, Austin had been at the sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.


    Now, he was at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm. It was the right time for him to cultivate the


    second step that could generate a sixyered Grand Pagoda.
