Chapter 838 The Middle World Waters
After cultivating for twelve days, Austin was finally able to cultivate his Swift Thunder Swordsmanship
to its Minor Achievement Stage.
At the same time, his understanding of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship had also reached a new
level.
As one saying went, "the greatest truths are the simplest." The Swift Thunder Swordsmanship focused
on two points: speed and strength.
It required a warrior to use the thunder intent to urge andunch a thunderbolt sword aura attack.
The moving speed of a thunderbolt sword aura could be twenty times faster than the speed of sound if
the warrior was at the Minor Achievement Stage;
fifty times faster if the warrior was at the Major Achievement Stage, and one hundred times faster if the
warrior was at Perfect Achievement Stage.
The strength of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship was based on three important points.
The first point: speed. A faster speed would give it more strength.
The second point: understanding of the thunderbolt intent. A deeper understanding of it would make it
stronger.
Thest point: personal strength. A stronger personal strength would produce more hacking force.
This was Austin''s temporary understanding of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship.
In the days after that, Austin practiced the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship every time he encountered
thunderstorm.
He also started spending a great amount of time on cultivating the Golden Sun Scripture. . .
One day, while journeying, Austin came upon a t and opennd that had a considerable amount of
people.
It turned out that he had juste upon the boundary of the capital of the Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom.
As one of the three Holy Kingdoms in the South Continent of the Prime Martial World, the Heavenly
Dragon Holy Kingdom was a nation that enjoyed immense power, influence, and prosperity.
In the hopes of broadening his horizon, Austin quickly headed for the area''s capital.
To his surprise, a massive city starteding into view not long after he started towards the capital''s
direction.
The amazement in his eyes could not be hidden.
Being the capital of a Holy Kingdom, it was really a sprawling and unmatched city.
With a height of tens of thousands of meters, it was deep into the clouds, and a man on the ground
would not be able to see the top of it.
The city wall''s width was at least a few hundred meters, and no less than hundreds of thousands of
soldiers patrolled around it, each with a seemingly powerful weapon in hand.
As Austin marveled at the structure in front of him, he estimated that the capital was at least several
hundred times of the size of the capital of the Violet Orchid Empire.
He stepped into the capital and strolled around, taking in the new environment. The streets were
crowded with people and vehicles and the peddlers were making the noise as they shouted out inviting
deals for the products they were selling. The kingdom was really a flourishing nation.
"Come,e! The royal family is recruiting! Come and have a look! They are offering a handsome
reward!"
This instantly piqued Austin''s interest. He decided to check it out.

Quickly, he walked over where the announcer was and squeezed through the already thick crowd that
had gathered around him.
A battle ring was ced in the middle of the square. Inside it, a warrior was already disying his vital
energy unique skill.
His wonderful performance was met with bursts of apuse from the gathered crowd from time to time.
Numerous soldiers with their weapons could be seen around the battle ring, making sure that peace
and order was observed.
Two officials were seated on a raised tform on one side of the battle ring. As suggested by the
uniforms they were wearing, one was a civil official while the other was a general.
A table was ced beside the battle ring, and two junior captains were giving out leaflets
while exining to the curious warriors who stepped forward what the whole thing was.
A huge red banner was hung above area, and it read: ''Royal family is recruiting outstanding warriors to
go to the sea and hunt sea beasts. He who answers the royal family''s call will get handsome reward!''
An idea came into Austin''s mind.
''There is no sea near the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
Are they meaning going to the Middle World Waters?'' Austin mulled in his mind.
The Prime Martial World was divided into four continents: the East, the West, the South and the North.
In the middle of the four continents lied a vast sea called the Middle World Waters.
Sparsely popted, the Middle World Waters was home to sea beasts.
"Sea beasts?" asked one warrior, confused as to what kind of creatures the royal family wanted to get
hunted.
Sea beasts were demonic and diabolic beasts that lived in the water.
Because the Middle World Waters was sparsely popted, it was a paradise for them.
''Without the disturbance and the threat of being hunt by human warriors, is it possible that the sea
beasts in the Middle World Waters are more powerful than the demonic and diabolic beasts living in the
Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom?''
thought Austin, as he looked at the red banner.
''Since I am looking for a ce infested with high-level demonic and diabolic beasts to cultivate my
Beast Energy-extracting Skill, won''t the Middle World Waters be good destination for me?''
So without any hesitation, Austin strode forward and stopped in front of the two junior captains.
"Young man, do you want to take part in the royal family''s recruitment?" asked one of them. Austin
nodded, a soft smile on his lips.
"Good!" said the other one. "A young man needs to go to the outside world so that he could learn
something new and valuable.
The Middle World Waters will be a ce full of opportunities, and a young man like you is well suited to
go there.
And the handsome reward offered by the royal family would be a great bonus! It will knock your socks
off!"
he continued, chuckling as he made sure to make Austin see the sense of taking part in the
recruitment.
"I understand all of that," Austin said, still smiling. "But I have one question - do you know how strong
the sea beasts living in the Middle World Waters are? Could you tell me?"
He truly had no time for the bluff the captains were saying, and so he went straight into the question he
cared about the most.
"Oh?" one captain said, visibly taken aback by the question. "You know what,d? I''ll tell you this much:
the Middle World Waters is vast and boundless, and the sea beasts living in it are extremely powerful.
Aside from eleventh and twelfth level sea beasts, the Beast Masters could also bemonly seen
there!
But you don''t really need to worry about that, young man!
In the first ce, our destination this time is not the middle of the sea -- we are going to the regions in
the vicinity of the coastal continent.
Secondly, you will be guided by Astral Realm masters.
We would also recruit several thousand warriors, so you won''t particrly be alone.
Safety is not a concern for you, not even the slightest!"
he exined, as he thought that Austin was scared for his life.
"Beside, our emperor has announced that after returning from this mission, all of you will get a
handsome reward.
And you will be a lifelong member of the royal forces of the Holy Kingdom!
You will have stipends from the royal court forever! Isn''t that awesome?"
Hearing the junior captain''s words of encouragement, Austin couldn''t help but smile.
He certainly felt that the royal household was considering this mission of great importance them, or
else, why would they recruit so many warriors and even give rewards after it was finished?
After hearing that the sea beasts in the Middle World Waters were indeed powerful, Austin became
determined to go there and cultivate his skills.
As for the royal household''s mission, he didn''t care for that. It would not a big deal for him to abandon
the mission and just cultivate alone in the waters.
But since the Middle World Waters was considerably far from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, he
had to have the means to get there and get back.
He believed the royal household had a better way to travel there, and in a much shorter period of time!
And with that, Austin decided to follow the royal household''s team until he got to the Middle World
Waters.
It was a n.
"I will register for the mission for the handsome reward!"
Austin lied convincingly.
