    With disbelief written all over her face, Valerie stared nkly at the Space Ring which contained over

    two hundred million enlightening crystals in her hand. She covered her mouth with her hand to stop


    herself from shouting.


    "I have over two hundred million enlightening crystals?" she whispered to herself, a stunned expression


    on her face.


    Over two hundred million enlightening crystals was definitely an astronomical figure for a disciple from


    a fifth-ss sect like her. It would have taken her a lifetime to amass such amount of enlightening


    crystals.


    Valerie pinched herself to make sure she was not dreaming.


    Convinced that she was awake, she touched the Space Ring onest time then set it aside.


    She turned to look at Austin with obvious admiration in her eyes.


    His performance was remarkable, and it had made asting impression on her since their encounter.


    Soon, the two of them stepped into the teleportation passage.


    It was a portal that floated above the desert, and the teleportation power came from it.


    Before they went through the portal, Austin held Valerie by the hand and pulled her close to him.


    If he didn''t take her hand, it would transport them to different ces.


    Valerie had no problem being in a close body contact with Austin. This was not the first time that he


    grabbed her hand since they met. Still, Valerie tried to look the other way to hide the red blush that


    crept on her cheeks.


    A teleportation force enveloped them.


    Soon, it transported them to the second floor of the tower.


    They looked around them and examined the area. They saw a vastnd covered with jungles and


    unusually tall bushes. Eerie mountains loomed in the distance.


    They could hear howls from the mountains and silent growls that seemed to be near them. Many


    diabolic beasts inhabited this area.


    Valerie tried to steady herself, overwhelmed by the invisible powerful spiritual sense.


    She staggered on her feet and rubbed her temples, trying to fight off her dizziness.


    "Oops! The spiritual sense is way too strong," she muttered to herself, as she tried not to panic.


    On the second floor, the cultivators would be attacked by a spiritual sense twice stronger than their own


    spiritual senses.


    Valerie was not good at spiritual sense, and the quality of her spiritual sense inferior. As a result, she


    could not stand the spiritual sense attack on her own.


    Austin on the other hand, was in full control.


    He ordered the spiritual tree in his Soul Sea to release a power, strong enough to repel all the spiritual


    sense which wasing at him.


    He then turned to check on Valerie. He saw that her face had turned pale as she was struggling to fight


    through her spiritual sense. Quickly, he unleashed his spiritual sense and covered her to protect her


    from the spiritual sense attack.


    Valerie felt that all the pressure was instantly gone.


    "Thank you," she said gratefully as she looked at Austin.


    She knew that Austin was helping her.


    "Let''s get going,"


    Austin said as he dashed forward.


    Valerie followed him, feeling more confident. She knew Austin was going to protect her.


    As they advanced forward, Austin released his spiritual sense to prevent her from any future spiritual


    sense attack. He would check on her from time to time, making sure she was safe.


    Since her spiritual sense was weak, the spiritual sense that came after her was not strong.


    Austin had no difficulty saving her from her spiritual sense attack.


    As the two of them continued to move forward, a strong wind blew on their faces.


    It seemed to havee from the woods.


    "Growl!"


    A dozen huge beasts rushed out of the woods.


    They were tigers with immense wings that carried them into the air. Their body was covered in silver fur


    that glittered in sunlight.


    Austin recognized these diabolic beasts immediately. They were silver tiger, and they were as strong as


    cultivators at the preliminary stage of Bitter Sea Realm.


    The beasts growled ferociously.


    With their eyes fixed on Austin and Valerie, they soared closer to them slowly. Thrill and hunger


    reflected in their eyes. They were d to have found their prey.


    "There you are. You messed with the wrong person," Austin bellowed at the beasts.


    He flexed his back and rushed towards the silver tigers by activating the bodily movement skill that he


    hade up with. He was so fast that Valerie could only see a shadow shuffling through the beasts.


    Austin channeled his physical strength onto his fist and threw punches at his targets.


    Before long, he had crushed all the silver tigers to death.


    To his surprise, a dozen first-grade superior herbs dropped in front of him.


    ''I see. Our task is to hunt down diabolic beasts on the second floor.


    And the reward... superior herbs, ''


    Austin figured.


    ''The rewards on the second floor are more interesting than that on the first floor.


    After all, superior herbs are more valuable than crystals.''


    "Now that I know the rules, I will not waste anymore of my time. I will use the same strategy. No more


    ying around!"


    Austin took out the Invincible Bow.


    After releasing his spiritual sense, he spotted all the diabolic beasts within over a hundred miles around


    him.


    "Your job is to collect superior herbs this time,"


    he said to Valerie.


    "Got it," she replied in high spirits.


    She clenched her fists and smiled, excited to aplish the task given to her by Austin.


    She knew what Austin was going to do.


    ''It''s great and exciting to receive the test together with him. We will get a bunch of superior herbs, '' she


    thought, ted.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Purple arrows shoot up in the air and zoomed in all directions.


    By using the Magic Archery, the arrow could track down its target from a distance. Once connected, it


    could hit the target on its own.


    There was no need for Austin to aim at his targets. All he needed was to locate his target with his


    spiritual sense force and release the arrows towards their direction.


    Austin observed that the strongest diabolic beasts on the second floor of the tower were only at the


    premium stage of Bitter Sea Realm. He did not spot any diabolic beasts which could be on par with


    Divine Bridge Realm cultivators.


    None of the diabolic beasts that came from the woods could survive Austin''s arrows.


    Fifteen minutester, all the diabolic beasts were found dead on the ground as they were struck down


    by Austin''s purple arrows.


    Superior herbs dropped in front of Austin.


    Valerie collected and kept them into the Space Ring.


    The same scene that took ce on the first floor unfolded on the second floor.


    The young cultivators found their targets shot dead lying motionless on the ground. Austin seemed to


    be one step ahead of them all the time. This left them with no chance to earn a reward. Furious, they


    raced towards Austin.


    Now that they dared to explore the second floor and were unhurt by the spiritual sense attack twice


    stronger than their spiritual senses, it meant that they were strong and agile.


    They could not let this go on anymore.


    Austin acted fast. Within five seconds, he had released more than one hundred arrows. He was


    rewarded with over one hundred superior herbs.


    He then grabbed Valerie''s hand and motioned her to run.


    Two hourster, Austin had gathered a few thousand superior herbs.


    This was after he ughtered several thousand diabolic beasts.


    After checking his rewards, Austin realized they were first-grade or second-grade superior herbs.


    He was thrilled with his harvest.


    Valerie stood beside him smiling from ear to ear. She had never seen so many precious herbs.


    Austin did not n to stop hunting. He dragged Valerie to a new location.


    He unleashed his spiritual sense to look for new targets. For a moment, he paused as the smile on his


    face disappeared.


    He perceived that dozens of people were fighting diabolic beasts a dozen miles away from him.


    One of them caught his attention.


    "Howard," he murmured as he narrowed his eyes.


    In the midst of all the people, he saw Howard of the Vasteras Holy Land.


    The other young men with Howard were also from the Vasteras Holy Land.


    Since the disciples from the three holynds and from the three prominent ns were strong, they


    usually went straight to the second floor. They would not bother to waste their time and energy on the


    first floor for crystals.


    ''There they are. It''s time to let them pay for their crime. I will make them realize they made a mistake in


    attacking our sect.


    Three years ago, people from the Vasteras Holy Land also attacked our base.


    They have no mercy. Several hundred of our disciples lost their lives in that battle.


    I will start with them, '' Austinmented.


    He was the Holy Heritor of the me Holy Land now, which meant he would be the holy lord of the sect


    in the future.


    Three years ago, the top sects and prominent ns sent their men to assault the base of the me


    Holy Land. Most of the disciples of the me Holy Land died that day. Austin would not let them get


    away with what they did to those disciples.


    He never messed with others. But if other people provoked him by hurting his people, he would make


    them pay a heavy price.
