Chapter 408 The Great Vajra Palm (Part Two)
Owen was beaming with delight and watching Austin struggle brought him special pleasure. "How does
it feel, Austin? I am surprised you''re still standing even after multiple attacks of my Great Vajra Palm.
No sweat! How long will you stand, anyway?
You are indeed a worthy opponent. I am very much impressed, although I will have to kill you now."
Owen sounded as if he thought he was almighty and was now in charge of whether Austin lived or
died. He thought he waspletely in control of the situation, as well as everything that was
happening in the battle ring.
"It seems like this is the best the Great Vajra Palm can achieve," Austin reassured himself.
It was enough. Austin knew if he kept sustaining Owen''s attacks, it was pointless. The entire purpose
of the battle was to defeat the other. It was time for Austin to begin his attacks, otherwise this standoff
would never end. Austin, however, couldn''t underestimate Owen at any cost for he had cultivated a
strong, tough body power.
But Owen wasn''t a novice. By the time Austin hade to that decision, he had another blowing
towards him.
Austin was ready. In a trice, he put his Windmanding Skill into action and dodged the attack of the
Great Vajra Palm deftly.
Jumping to the other end of the battle ring, he crossed his fingers and released his vital energy.
Instantly, a stream of vital energy came pouring out of his fingers and began swirling around his hands
like golden snakes.
He then gathered the vital energy in his hands and activated his mind control skill. The vital energy
following his mind''s instructions gradually formed into a nineyered golden tower.
The golden tower began emanating streaks of blinding light which surrounded the entire battle ring
giving it a golden border. The tower was also absorbing the vital energy that Austin had released at the
same time.
The tower had now collected so much energy that it began to vibrate. Vital energy winds began flowing
out of the tower, wrapping everything in its golden hued nket.
Austin''s mind control skill expertly controlled the tower as he now made it evenrger and longer. It
then suddenly turned tangible, floating in front of Austin as if waiting for hismand. Realizing that
the nineyered tower was in its most powerful stage, he ordered it to attack the Great Vajra Palm.
Objectively, it was a major achievement that Austin was able to make a nineyered tower. He had
already seeded in cultivating the third step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, which was also
incidentally the highest stage he could achieve.
Although he had cultivated this nineyered Grand Pagoda, he had never tested its power on anyone.
He knew this was the right time to unravel its mystery and see how powerful it was.
The moment the nineyered Grand Pagoda and the Great Vajra Palm met in the air, the turbulent vital
energy waves of the Grand Pagoda turned into violent swirls and the massive impact force vibrated the
entire arena. People began to search for something to hold on to and secured their footings so as to
not get blown away by the swirls.
It was not surprising that Austin was able to demonstrate such an expertise in the Grand Pagoda
Summoning Skill as he had the cultivation base of the premium stage of the Earth Realm. Moreover,
since he had cultivated the Golden Sun Scripture, the volume of his vital energy soared up and enabled
him to cultivate some powerful and dangerous skills. These skills were extremely tough and harmful,
and the other disciples would not have dared to try them.
In the middle of the battle ring, the fight between the nineyered Grand Pagoda and the Great Vajra
Palm continued. At first, the Great Vajra Palm was having the upper hand, empowered by the two
elixirs. The power of the Great Vajra Palm wasparable to that of a fighter belonging to the
preliminary stage of the Mysterious Realm.
Noting that his Grand Pagoda did not have much potency over the Great Vajra Palm, Austin bit his
lower lip in indecision. Suddenly, he began striding towards the middle of the battle ring. Everyone was
astonished by this behavior. They had least expected Austin to confront the Great Vajra Palm again
after being hit so many times.
"Now, get the hell out of my sight," Austin eximed.
Furious at the Great Vajra Palm''s stiff resistance, Austin activated his Overlord Body-refining Form.
Instantly, he thrust his fist into the Great Vajra Palm with the force of a 15, 000 pounds.
The fight had gotten tremendously intense now. As he focused and mentally exerted himself, his fists
produced a racket of roaring and ttering sounds. The entire stadium began ringing.
All the people watched with erged eyes.
Except for the sounds from the battle ring, it was eerily silent. They were all absorbed in the fierceness
of the fight that all were in a trance-like state. Having learned that the elixirs could be added to martial
arts skill to help strengthen its power was already surprising enough, now thebined attacks of
Austin''s fists and Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill made them even more astonished.
Not in their wildest dreams had they ever thought that they would see a person as mighty as Austin
who had the ability to use his martial arts skill and his own body strength at the same time. In their
eyes, Austin was like a superman, who not only had powerful strength, but also the ability to
demonstrate his various extraordinary skills at the same time. The fight brought the crowd a new sense
of freshness and excitement.
In the battle ring, after receiving the back-to-back hits from the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill and
Austin''s 15, 000 pounds punch force, the Great Vajra Palm began weakening.
Gradually, it began shrinking and cowering like a frightened animal. The fight became more and more
interesting as the scale of advantage began shifting towards Austin. The crowd, as the fight rose to its
climax, came out of their trance and started cheering again—the blood suddenly pumping fast in their
veins.
Contrary to all expectations, Austin was still not defeated. Watching an underdog fight back, the crowd
began rooting for him.
"This fellow is indeed impressive. Who would have thought that he would have the ability to
demonstrate that golden tower? He must have cultivated his vital energy martial arts skill very well
because it is not child''s y to make a golden tower. It is called Grand Pagoda and is condensed out of

the cultivator''s vital energy. The power of that tower is really majestic. This fight is by far the most
exciting part of the game this year."
"Thisbination of body strength and vital energy as well as such martial arts skill? It is indeed
something unbelievable!
I am beginning to admire this guy Austin." People were blown away by Austin and began to show him
the respect he rightly deserved.
"What the hell! Since when did Austin be so strong?"
Amongst the awe-struck crowd, there were also people from the Sun Sect. Even the Sect Leader
Theon, was gaping at Austin with surprise.
One of the disciples of the Sun Sect cried in wonder, "I can''t believe Austin has cultivated the third
stage of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. Does that mean that he has reached the Major
Achievement Stage?"
As one of the most dangerous grade four martial arts skills, the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was
well-known for the number of the disciples it had killed in the process of the cultivation. In everyone''s
eyes, practicing Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was more like a suicide than martial arts skill
cultivation.
But who could have guessed that Austin would be so strong as to be able to finish all three stages of
the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill and reach the Major Achievement Stage?
Everyone felt they were in a dream, for such drama and such turn of events could never happen in
reality—and yet here it was.
They knew that on the basis of strength, Austin now held a substantial advantage over any one of
them. This was not a good sign to the Sun Sect as it brought back some unhappy memories.
All the disciples of the Sun Sect were amazed by Austin''s power, but were also frightened at the same
time.
Those who had doubts on his skills before, were now watching Austin with admiration and respect.
Only the Sect Leader Theon, upon noting Austin''s powerful strength, was regretful about his decisions
in the past.
The best disciple he thought couldpete in a game of such quality was Braxton. But to his
disappointment, Austin had defeated him in the previous round, and that was quite easy. Braxton had
just walked on the stage and Austin had beaten him badly to death. Surprisingly, Austin himself, after
going through so many rounds, still remained uninjured.
''Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill? How did I not predict that Austin could cultivate this skill?'' Theon
sighed and murmured to himself.
While marveling at Austin''s strength, Theon wistfully wished that he had treated him better in the past.
He deeply regretted conspiring with the ming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Team to chase Austin
away. If he had chosen to back Austin at the time, he wouldn''t be so guilt-ridden now and would have
earned a good reputation for himself and poprity for his sect.
"How is this even possible?"
From the other side of the battle ring, came the grey-haired old man''s baffled and bewildered voice.
The original gloating look that his face had had since long vanished, and was reced by an
astonishing wonder over Austin''s strength.
