Chapter 612 Merging Two Bodily Movement Skills


    Now that Austin had the opportunity and advantage to practice the Thunderbolt Movement Skill, he


    studied it more carefully.


    The Thunderbolt Movement Skill was a skill that used the thunderbolt to activate the bodily movement


    skill. Using this skill, the cultivator could push the thunderbolts to spurt ahead with super quick speed.


    The Windmanding Skill was of tremendous help. But as a grade five martial arts skill, it had its


    own limitations. When facing strong cultivators, it was useless.


    In fact, after he cultivated the intent realm of wind, his Windmanding Skill had reached a new


    higher level. Its maximum speed was brought into y.


    The Thunderbolt Movement Skill was a grade six martial arts skill. This bodily movement skill was


    surely more powerful than the Windmanding Skill.


    Therefore, he had made up his mind to practice the Thunderbolt Movement Skill more than any other


    skill. He knew that developing on that skill would benefit him greatly if he were to face a stronger


    opponent.


    The more he practiced this martial skill, the stronger he would be in it and this new bodily


    movement skill would rece the Windmanding Skill which he already possessed.


    He had a big advantage while he practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill. There was no need for him


    to absorb the thunderbolts. With the Thunder Elixir inside his body, it was easy for him to get many


    thunderbolts.


    So he skipped the first step and began the second step, which was also the most important one. He


    needed to learn to use the thunderbolts to activate his bodily movement skill.


    On the mountain roads, in the thick woods, he practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill. He moved as


    quickly as a sh. As soon as a tiny lightning appeared, his position would change, and he would


    speed up.


    He rapidly became intoxicated with the power of the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and kept practicing it


    all the time. Time flew. One monthter, he managed to use the thunderbolts to activate his bodily


    movement skill.


    What''s more! There was a bigger surprise in store for him.


    While he used the bodily movement skill, he identally used the intent realm of wind. The result was


    unexpected. His speed was far quicker than earlier. In other words, he could use the Thunderbolt


    Movement Skill and the Windmanding Skill at the same time. Their effect on eleration was


    exceptional.


    When he found that out, he was wild with joy. He decided to practice merging the two bodily movement


    skills. At the beginning, it was a bit difficult, as it was an unnatural process to do.


    He spent one month focusing on the methods to merge the Thunderbolt Movement Skill and the Wind-


    After two months had passed, he was able to use the two bodily movement skills together with ease.


    His movements became more natural, smoother and quicker. His speed reached tremendously high


    level.


    Whenever he suddenly moved, tiny shes of thunderbolts would appear while he disappeared from


    the ce where he stood.


    It was as if he was wearing an invisibility cloak.


    In a jiffy, he would show up at a ce, about eight hundred meters away.


    That meant that he could move at a speed of 800 meters per step! His speed was unbeatable now.


    Hardly had he realized that he had invented a new bodily movement skill after merging the Wind-


    This new skill was at a higher grade and had more power.


    When he had mastered the new skill, he finally stopped practicing and came back to reality.


    He looked around and realized he was still in the mountains.


    ''I practiced the Thunderbolt Movement Skill in these mountains for two months. So ridiculous!'' he


    thought. After checking the map, he had decided where he had to go and began his new adventure.


    Austin, Violet and the gnome were sitting on a lichen covered rock and enjoying the roasted beasts


    which they had hunted in the woods. The rock was under a big tree, so they didn''t have to bear the


    scorching heat of the sun. Although they were talking happily, their eyes nced at the path from time


    to time.


    As they were expecting, their conversation was interrupted soon.


    From the foot of the mountain, the sound of wheels and riders thundering along the road were heard.


    It was obvious that many coaches and horses were approaching towards the spot where they were


    sitting.


    "I wasn''t expecting to see coaches and riders in this isted ce," Austin said after spitting out a


    bone as he looked in the direction from where the noise came. But Violet and the gnome had already


    hidden themselves.


    In general, cultivators and diabolic beasts didn''t have good thoughts about each other. They would


    often get into a fight as soon as they met.


    "There are arge number of horses and coaches."


    Austin used his spiritual sense to have a look at the situation. He had to analyze it all before he took a


    step.


    "There are hundreds of horses and more than ten coaches. It seems to be a trading group. They may


    be merchants."


    Austin had been living in these deep mountains and practiced the skills for two months. Never had he


    met anyone. Now seeing a trading group made him feel a bit excited and curious.


    Instead of hiding, he continued to eat the piece of roasted meat which he was holding. He kept sitting


    on the rock, rxed and calm.


    In moments, from the foot of the mountains, dust started billowing. Austin stared at the dust and soon


    five tall horses appeared.


    Sitting on the horses were four men and a woman. All of them exuded an awe-inducing vibe. Austin


    realized they had powerful cultivation base judging from their vital energy.


    The four middle-aged men looked different and carried different weapons.


    One wore a ck robe.


    While another carried arge shield on his back.


    The third was a strong and brutish man with a long sword on his back.


    Thest man of the group was pale and thin with sharp eyes like those of a vulture. Having studied the


    men, Austin turned his gaze to the woman.


    She was short and wore a tender smile on her face. From her clothes, Austin knew she was a married


    woman. He had a gut feeling that she was generous and easy-going.


    The appearance and disposition of the five of them hinted that they had survived many battles and had


    a high cultivation base. No one would doubt their power if they were to face them in abat.


    "They are powerful! This trading group is big. There are so many people, coaches and horses. Many


    strong cultivators have been hired to be in charge of the security. And several of them are Sky Realm


    cultivators," muttered Austin.


    In fact, he thought these five people were as powerful as Emperor Arthur, the emperor of the Violet


    Orchid Empire. But there was no need to fear them. After all, he wouldn''t offend them. He even thought


    of bing their ally.


    This trading group indeed had hundreds of horses and more than ten coaches, as Austin had analyzed.


    In the middle of the trading group, there was a magnificent coach being pulled by eight steeds. It was


    impressive. More than twenty cultivators who were at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm or higher


    stage rode on their horses on both the sides of that coach.


    Apart from the cultivators, the coach had a convoy of more than ten beautiful maids.


    It was beyond any doubt that there was an important person of high status in the magnificent coach.


    The five strong cultivators at the premium stage of Sky Realm were in front of the trading group. They


    were leading the group. As they moved further, they got closer. And that''s when they saw Austin.


    A lot of murderous will had already filled the air. They were surprised to see a young man sitting on the


    rock. Everyone knew that this ce was deste and uninhabited. Alertness stiffened their bodies and


    reflected from their eyes. They were always ready to fight against enemies.


    Crack!


    The middle-aged man who had therge shield, raised his whip and made a circle in the air. Nothing


    was hit, but the wave it created was powerful and had great effect. If one was hit, he would get


    seriously injured.


    His gaze was focused on the young man standing in their way.


    Before that man said anything to Austin, the short tenderdy touched his arm and said with a sweet


    smile, "Wyatt Chang, rx. It''s just a young beggar. I guess he makes a living in these deste


    mountains."


    ''Young beggar?'' Austin repeated the words.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    He was shocked to know that they thought him to be a beggar.


    It took him a few moments to realize the reason of their misunderstanding.


    He had walked through mountains and rivers. There were no lodgings or inns in the wild. To avoid


    starvation, he had to hunt food and eat in the wild. At nights, he slept on a tree, in a cave or even on


    the ground. It was not convenient for him to wash himself and change clothes under these


    circumstances. Being mistaken as a beggar was reasonable. He was indeed dirty and messy. He


    couldn''t me the woman for her opinion about him. His clothes that had been white, were now full of


    stains and dust. There were tattered and torn at various ces.


    Even his delicate face was covered with ck soot and smoke from the fire used for cooking. His face


    was dirty and his hair was untidy. His appearance indeed made him look like a beggar who was out in


    the mountains, struggling to make a living for himself.
