Chapter 1943 The Practice Of Martial Arts
Austin was pacing agitatedly in the secret cultivation room.
"I get why they say strength is the most important thing.
If I had been strong enough, they wouldn''t havee to attack me in broad daylight!"
He clenched his fists and squeezed his nails deep into his palms, continuing to march around the room.
Austin knew that this time, the situation was very serious indeed.
The disciples from various sects of the Middle Pilgrim Land and the four major schools were well
trained and extremely powerful. Moreover, one or two would have been easy to deal with. But so many
at the same time...
The principal disciples were all at Major-perfection Realm.
And the stewards and elders would most probably be cultivators at Heavenly Grotto Realm. Together,
they were an army so powerful that few could hope to go against them.
Trouble was, only four elders, including Elder Sharp were at Heavenly Grotto Realm when it came to
the me Holy Land.
Austin also knew that apart from Elder Sharp, the others had only reached the Heavenly Grotto Realm
in thest two years. This meant they weren''t experienced enough.
It also implied that the three elders were rtively weakerpared to other cultivators of the
Heavenly Grotto Realm.
Only Elder Sharp in the entire me Holy Land could y a major role in handling the situation. But
alone, there was only so much he could do.
"Never mind. It''s useless to worry too much right now. I''d better hurry with my practice!"
Austin tried to force his mind to cast aside other thoughts and focus on his cultivation.
Four martial arts skills appeared in Austin''s Soul Sea.
They were the Mantra of Six Words, the zing Divine Palm, the Nine ming Ste Array, and the
Heaven Scorching Skill. He had collected them only recently and had never found the opportunity to
practice them.
The Mantra of Six Words had been given to him by a young master from the Western Sect.
The other three had been ced into Austin''s Soul Sea by the beautiful woman who had imed to be
his master in the ice-world.
''Alright, let''s start with the Nine ming Ste Array!''
Austin decided.
He had a gut feeling that this skill might have something to do with the Fire St in his elixir field. This
could mean that cultivation of this method would be easier and would lead better results.
He began to study it in detail inside his Soul Sea.
The keyponent of skill was utilizing vital energy to condense nine stone sts, which would form a
powerful array and lock the opponent into immobility.
Within the hour, Austin was able to read this skill numerous times. Getting it had been easy.
In fact, he noticed that this skill was quiteplimentary to the Golden Sun Scripture. Therefore, he
knew that he would be able to cultivate it quickly.
He began the process.
Another hour passed like a second.
Austin, who had been sitting cross legged on the floor, suddenly opened his eyes, which had now
be gold in color, and he began posing in order to activate the stone tablets. At that moment, light-
golden colored vital energy rushed out of his body like gushing rivers, and in an instant, the entire
secret room was morphed into a golden ocean.
Bang!
The whole secret room began to shake violently. Then, a tall and thick stone tablet, golden in color, and
rugged in appearance materialized behind Austin. There was an ancient aura behind it.
Boom!
As the room continued to vibrate, simr tall and ancient stone tablets continued to appear and
arranged in an orderly manner around Austin''s body.
Each of these stone tablets was engraved with mysterious and ancient symbols.
"This array seems really powerful.
The nine stone tablets could be used to form an array. Such an array can, in theory, increase my
attacking powers by at least nine times. Maybe even more!"
Austin concluded after checking it out.
However, this was just a secret cultivation room and the true powers of this skill could not be verified in
here. He would need target practice.
After thinking for a while, he went to the seventh floor of the ve Tower.
This area was in the form of a vast square.
In here were hundreds of test dummies, and their strength was at the Divine Bridge Realm.
There were five thousand dummies in total, but their numbers were irrelevant. Since this was practice
area, they could be resurrected anytime.
Three of these dummies were made of golden crystals, and their strength was at Minor-perfection
Realm.
Austin was nning on using these dummies to test the power of the Nine ming Ste Array.
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop
On hismand, the dummies began to appear around him one by one.
Within seconds, hundreds of them had appeared, including the three golden ones. This should be fun!
"Attack me now!"
Austin ordered softly, simultaneously summoning the nine stone tablets. They appeared and began to
shiver, from which Austin could feel a terrifying powering out.
Immediately, hundreds of dummies rushed towards Austin like a tidal wave.
Bang!
The nine stone tablets, giving out a golden and radiant glow, were vibrating so hard that they seemed
to be on the verge of explosion.
The rumbling and ttering sounds of the fight began to echo in the quietness of the square.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
All the dummies which were hit by the nine stone tablets were smashed into pieces.
In less than two seconds, hundreds of those were lying around in shards of just a few inches in size.
"What?
The Fire St seemed to have reacted to something just now!"
Austin was both surprised and pleased.
Just as the nine stone tablets had rushed out, the Fire St in Austin''s elixir field seemed to have
released a great force of power which had somehow made the nine stone tablets even more powerful.
"Let me try that again!"
Austin remarked softly.
Once again, more than two thousand dummies appeared in the square around him, again including the
three dummies made of golden crystals.
Since they could be resurrected any number of times, Austin wasn''t worried about running out of
targets.
They rushed towards him with a murderous stance.
Boom!
The nine stone tablets once again flew towards them together.
As he had expected and experienced before, the Fire St in his elixir field quivered again. Then, a
strong suppressing power came from it and hit the nine stone tablets from behind.
Suddenly, the power of the nine stone tablets seemed to be more terrifying.
Pufff!
It took three seconds and then, all the dummies, including those at Minor Perfection Realm were blown
to bits.
"Huh! How about that? Turns out I can use the power of my Fire St to strengthen the nine ming
sts. They really do seem to be rted.
Although I just used a small part of the Fire St, the output was still very terrifying,"
Austin murmured.
He had no doubt that using this martial arts skill, he could fight most cultivators at the Major-perfection
Realm and easily keep them at bay, if not kill them.
This was the benefit of a new martial art skills that was rted to a previous one. It could help a
cultivator greatly improve his abilities, allowing him to take on even more powerful opponents without
worrying about too much advancements.
''Alright then! Now, I will practice the zing Divine Palm, ''
Austin decided.
After half a day, he finally seeded in preliminarily mastering the zing Divine Palm.
Once again, he went to the seventh floor of the ve Tower, and used the dummies to test the power
of the zing Divine Palm.
Compared to the Nine ming Ste Array, it was a much more powerful skill and could be disastrous
if properly mastered.
Then, Austin left the ve Tower and went back to the secret cultivation room on the small hill.
"I think the people from the Middle Pilgrim Land and the four schools would being here shortly. I do
not seem to have the time to practice the remaining skills.
Doesn''t matter. I''ll spend the rest of my time in activating the next level of the Invincible Bow,"
Austin muttered to himself in the secret chamber. Instead of continuing to cultivate the other two skills,
he brought out arge, purple colored bow from his Space Ring. This was the Invincible Bow.
