The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 14 The Fifth-grade Martial Art Skill (Part Two)

It was a pile of vital energy crystals!

At a glance, there were more than at least a thousand vital energycrystals on the table, giving off strong vital energy.

The hovel seemed to vibrate due to their very presence.

Vital energy crystal was a much-used resource to the warriors of thePrime Warrior World.

A vital energy crystal contained vital energy which was of great help toa warrior's cultivation.

At the same time, they also served as a sort of currency betweenwarriors. For them, their everyday dealing was done in these crystalsinstead of coins.

The ordinary world dealt in silver coins, which were much less valuablethan these crystals, in which only warriors dealt.

A vital energy crystal was worth a hundred silver coins.

The monthly salary of the grunt disciples of the Sun sect was threecrystals. This amounted to thirty six crystals a year or about three and ahalf thousand coins, give or take.

When Austin had been an outer disciple, his salary was 10 crystals permonth.

Being the most potential one of the disciples at that time, the Sect hadspecially rewarded him with 7 extra crystals every month.

That way, his salary had amounted to more than a hundred crystals in ayear, making him far richer than a grunt disciple. But this fortune!There were more than a thousand crystals in front of him right now.Obviously, Austin felt his heart beating faster and faster.

“Be calm! Be calm!"

Austin told himself again and again in his mind, with his fists clenchedtightly.

But the next moment he ignored everything, pushed his way towardsthe piles of crystals and held them in his arms. He laughed like a fool ashe had been so poor for so many years!

There was a popular saying in his last life on earth: Money is noteverything, but without it you can do nothing.

Moreover, sometimes Austin had felt that money was everything.

He counted sketchily that there were about fifteen hundred vital energycrystals in total here.

After a long while, Austin recovered from the great joy of owning sucha big fortune.

He put the vital energy crystals back carefully into the space ring.

Then he turned his attention to the other things. Besides the crystals,there were a few things for Rafat's daily necessities inside such as someclothes, shoes and amenities like that. There were also some necessitiesfor the field survival, such as flint, tools, scopes and a medicine box forurgency.

Austin also found a folded bed, bed sheet and a tent inside.

There was even a complete set of cooking equipment, together withcooking oil, salt, jam and other relishes. It seemed to include everythingone could need in his daily life.

Plus, there was some food inside that could easily last a person forseveral months.

From the storage, Austin could tell that Rafat had always beenwandering around and living outdoors, never settling anywhere.

It was reasonable for him to do so as he needed to absorb the purefeminine energy of girl cultivators. He must have been looking for themwith his wandering, meandering lifestyle.

There were also over five hundred silver coins. They were probably tobe used when Rafat bought something in the ordinary people's world.Austin firstly threw out all of Rafat’s personal belongings into a corner,including his clothes, shoes and socks. Then he put the other thingsinto the space ring: the cooking equipment, tools used in the wild andthe five hundred silver coins.

These things were very useful if he were to ever go outside, especiallyin the wild without any residence nearby.

After Austin had organized all these things, there was still somethingelse left on the table. There were two old yellow pamphlets, a blackdagger in a strange shape and two emerald green jade bottles.

Austin took one of the old pamphlets and looked at it carefully. It wasmade of a special material.

Although it looked old with a long history, but Austin could see that itwas solid enough to survive even if it was torn with great strength.There were a few bold-faced characters saying “Wind-commandingSkill in the cover. Austin opened the pamphlet to have a look. Soon hewas ravished again with great joy, greater than before.

This pamphlet spoke of the Wind Commanding skill and taught thesame.

After a quick inspection, Austin gasped with astonishment. This wasactually a fifth-grade skill which was considered extremely powerful.All the martial art skills were ranked in order from one to ten. Thelowest was ranked grade one. Most of them were for beginners.Similarly, there were other skills ranked in order of power and difficulty.The tenth grade skill was the highest and it seemed to exist only inlegends.

The skills most commonly practiced were grade two, three and four.Only people from very huge sects practiced grade five or grade sixskills.

And even in those large-scale sects, only the most principal disciplesever got qualified enough to learn these superior skills.

Anything above grade seven was heard of only in the stories.

Even the head of the Sun Sect was most probably not qualified enoughto practice them. He might not even have had the chance to approacha grade 7 skill.

Like Austin in his previous life, the best chance he might have evergotten was to practice grade 1 or 2 skills mostly, even though he hadbeen the most potential outer disciple at that time.

The most powerful martial art skill Austin had ever practiced previouslyin his last life was Tiger Roaring Fist, which was ranked at the third-grade. He had never learned anything beyond that level.

The superior skills of grade three or four were for the inner disciplesand the principal ones.

To his surprise, the Wind-commanding Skill was actually a grade-fiveone!

“Be calm! Be calm!"

Austin told himself again and again. His heart was starting beating fastonce more and his blood seemed to be rushing more ferociously by thesecond.

The most important thing he had obtained last night was now thewind-commanding Skill.

The one thousand vital energy crystals he had put inside the space ringseemed to be nothing compared to this skill.
