Chapter 384 The Third Step of Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill
Austin ended his short period of cultivation in the suburbs of imperial capital city and came back to the
young prince''s mansion. This happened just in time as the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games was
about to begin in two days from now.
Now, instead of going around, Austin chose to seclude himself from world during these remaining days.
A high level energy gathering Array was set up inside the training room in the small house the prince
had given him.
His seclusion was mainly for the cultivation of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. He had utilized it a
few times before and wanted to practice.
The Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill contained three steps and until now, Austin had only mastered the
first and the second, which enabled him to create a sixyered pagoda.
But he was at the premium stage of Earth Realm now, which made him confident enough to try the
third step and create a nineyered pagoda.
If he could achieve thest step and create a nineyered pagoda, he would stand a far better chance
in front of his enemies during the games.
Inside his training room, Austin sat in a cross-legged position. His mind and soul were mingled with
each other and his palms kept on performing the finger movements of the Grand Pagoda Summoning
Skill, trying to create a nineyered pagoda.
To create eachyer of the pagoda required several finger movements. He needed to extract enormous
amounts of vital energy from his body to form the body of the pagoda.
After having mastered the first two steps of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, Austin already had a
profound knowledge of the art and the skills required.
In a nutshell, to be a beginner at this martial art and create a threeyered pagoda required about a
1000 different finger movements.
To create a sixyered pagoda required 2000 such movements, each unique and different from the
other.
And to create a nineyered pagoda required three thousand movements.
This meant that during the process of creating the nineyered pagoda Austin needed to constantly
extract the vital energy from his body while performing the 3000 different movements in order to forge
the nineyered pagoda.
The whole process was extremely exhausting. Hence, it not only required an abundant amount of vital
energy, but also asked for a lot of patience and strong spiritual sense.
Besides, after the pagoda was forgedpletely, an enormous energy wave would rush towards the
cultivator from the direction of the pagoda. His body might be crushed into pieces if he couldn''t handle
that wave properly.
Although he had had an experience with the first two steps, Austin still underestimated the difficulty of
forging the nineyered pagoda.
During these two days, he tried a hundred times and failed a hundred times. Finally, there was a
deafening sound of an explosion which drifted out of the training room.
One of the walls of the room waspletely wrecked by the overwhelming and aggressive vital
energy.
Even Austin himself was burned ck. ck smoke surrounded him when he came out of the training
room.
But he seemed really delighted. He had finally mastered the third step of the Grand Pagoda
Summoning Skill and was able to forge a nineyered pagoda now.
During the process Austin needed so much vital energy that he had to constantly draw vital energy
from the stone inside his elixir field over ten times.
It was fortunate that he possessed that stone. Otherwise he could not have mastered this powerful skill.
"Look at this little beggar. Are you alright?"
"Young man, what happened..." ..
Mike, Ivy, and Sue had already gathered outside the training room when they had heard the explosion.
Upon seeing Austining out of the training with ashes all over him but with a smile on his face, they
all felt speechless.
"Haha, I''m fine.
Finally the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games is about to start.
What an exciting event."
Austin''s crystal clear eyes were in sharp contrast to his ck skin. . . . .
The next morning, as
the darkness of the night was invaded by the first light from above, everything and everyone seemed to
be awakening and the leaves sang in the morning dew,plimented by the birds.
All the young martial artists gathered around in the square in the young prince''s mansion. They had
already been told to do so the previous night.
When Austin arrived at the square, there were already over a hundred people in there.
"Morning, Tin!"
Dewey greeted him. He seemed to have been waiting for Austin for a while.
"Good morning. My name is Maria."
A girl approached Austin and introduced herself to him as soon as he set foot in the square.
"Emm?"
The girl was looking really sharp in her ck suit which revealed the perfect body she possessed. She
had the curves of a siren. The concaves and the bulges on her body were arranged perfectly and she
looked delightful.
The ck suit she was wearing reflected the beams of golden light from the morning sun.
Actually, her dress was a protective armor made of the silk spun by five-colored silkworms, which was
a fourth grade diabolic beast.
Since Austin was already about 17, he knew enough about sex and hormones to be aroused. He could
not help fixing his eyes on the girl''s bouncy and fascinating legs. Her legs were extremely white and

slim as if they were carved from a stainless jade.
"Emm…"
"Good morning, I''m Austin. Do I know you?"
He replied as he withdrew his sight. He was only able to restore his consciousness after he had stared
at the girl''s thighs for quite a while. He found it very embarrassing.
"I surmised that we''re on the same side since we''re both participating in the Outstanding Talents
Exchange Games for the young prince.
So I thought it would be good for us to know each other."
Maria seemed to be naturally very graceful.
"Of course we should know more about each other. Hey, beauty. You can just call me Dewey."
Upon seeing the beautiful girling their way, Dewey could not help introducing himself to her
flirtingly.
"It''s a pleasure to meet you."
Though Maria answered him, she did not even spare a nce at Dewey. She seemed to be solely
interested in Austin.
She and Austin then chatted about the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games for a while.
"What the... ."
Dewey felt speechless when he saw his ardor returned with such aloofness.
A short whileter, a dozen young martial artists, who seemed to be very powerful, came into the
square.
About five of them cast a nce of anger and despise at Austin when they saw him standing beside
Maria.
"Who the hell are they?"
"Austin, those five are the strongest among the martial artists recruited by the young prince.
Their names are Michael, Philip, Joshua. Hector and Jossy.
Hasson used to be one of them but he was crippled by you. It''s said that he still has not recovered,
which makes him unable to join the game.
Hence, you have reced Hasson and have be one of the six most powerful martial artists
recruited by the young prince."
Maria replied with a smile.
"Miss Wu, you are too modest. Everyone in the mansion knows that there are seven martial artists in
here who are known to be the strongest. In addition to the six you have mentioned, you are also one of
them.
Miss Maria, my admiration for you is as high as the mountains and as deep as the ocean."
Dewey suddenly interrupted.
Austin took a serious nce at her now. Although the girl was hiding her strength well enough, he
could still tell that she was a very strong martial artist from the sharp lights that shed through her
eyes from time to time.
"Morning, Maria.
Why are you wasting your time on these losers?
You''re degrading yourself."
The speaker was of the five young martial artists Maria just mentioned. He saw Maria and Austin
whispering to each other and
starteding their way with his eyes overwhelmed with hostility, or rather, jealousy.
