The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 32 The Promotion Contest For Grunt Disciples (Part Two)

All right then. Now, do what you all must!

Steward Lu dismissed himself and disappeared instantly. After makingthe announcement, he had no further interest in mingling with thegrunt disciples.

After he left, some of the grunt disciples started discussing. Apparently,Steward Lu's comment on Austin made them feel jealous.

Steward Lu had never talked to any of them like that since he took overthe management of grunt disciples.

But just then, just today, he spoke with Austin directly.

Every grunt disciple wanted to make a mark on Steward Lu's mind. Andwitnessing how the steward talked with Austin made them envious.They wonder what was so special about Austin that piqued thesteward's interest.

Among the jealous disciples was Matias. He was furious as he glared atAustin hatefully.

He had always considered himself above the other grunt disciples sincehe entered the sect. The other grunt disciples also looked up to him.Everywhere he went, he was always the center of attention.

But just now, Steward Lu didn't even mention his name or looked athim longer.

Instead, the steward paid more attention to Austin and even spoke tothe latter.

It was something that Matias could not easily let go. He wanted to rushtowards Austin and grind him beneath his heel. He wanted to tell theworld that he was the one worthy of attention.

But eventually, he calmed himself down. He looked at Austin with hisfurious sharp eyes before he finally turned around and walked behindhis wounded companions.

Meanwhile, Austin didn't even look at Matias and his companions.However, deep down, he understood that Matias had his own reasonsto hate him.

The feud between Matias and Austin began in an accident.

It started not so long ago when Austin accidentally sneaked into a smallforest near the grunt disciples’ settlement that he found two nakedgrunt disciples in the middle of rough sex.

One of them was Matias, and the other was an unknown girl.Embarrassed and angered at the same time, Matias quickly shooedAustin out of the forest. But at the time, Austin didn't understand whathe had seen. Being childish as he was, he told people about what hesaw, "I saw Matias wrestling a naked woman in the forest.”

In no time, the news spread among the grunt disciples and Matiasbecame the laughingstock for a while.

The embarrassment clouded Matias’ mind with anger. He hunted Austinand beat him up good.

And this was the beginning of their enmity towards each other.

As the crowd began to disperse, Austin walked towards Evan andlooked at the latter's wounded body with guilt and worry.

"You're hurt, Evan. Let's go to the Medicine Hall first so I can get someelixir for you," Austin said.

"Elixir?"

Evan was worried. He hurriedly replied, "No need! Any ordinary potionsand ointments will do. Besides, I am not a lady with delicate skin. A fewbruises won't kill me.”

Apart from the ordinary medicines, the Medicine Hall had some elixirsavailable for exchange. All of them were of high value that any gruntdisciple could not afford. Evan didn’t want Austin to spend a fortune onhim.

"Let's have you looked at in the Medical Hall. If these are just scratches,then there's nothing to worry about. Otherwise, the ordinary potionswon't be able to heal it. If not treated properly, it may eventuallybecome a threat in the future that may affect your progress in training.What do you think?" persuaded Austin.

Evan was still hesitant.

But if what Austin was saying could be true, then not having this woundtreated might indeed become a big problem.

Evan could not afford a hiccup in his progress. He was sent to the SunSect by his father hoping that he would learn martial arts well andsucceed him in the future. The hope and future of his family were on hisshoulders.

"Just come with me, will you? Don’t you worry about the cost,” Austininsisted. He knew exactly what Evan was worried about. He took Evanby the arm and dragged him towards the Medicine Hall.

The Medicine Hall of Sun Sect sat at a quiet small courtyard, a fine-styled three-storey tower.

When members of the sect needed medicine, they would come here forexchange. And that was the same thing that Austin and Evan would do.Austin dragged Evan to a counter on the first floor.

Behind the counter sat a disciple on duty.

When they approached, the disciple looked at them and instantlynoticed the uniform they were wearing. He frowned as he talked tothem with dismay, "What are you two doing here? Medicine Hall isn'tmeant for grunt disciples.”

His expression was blank, but his tone was sure cold and indifferent.The Medicine Hall held a special status in the sect. Thus, its discipleswere all proud of themselves and looked down upon the disciples fromother departments, especially the grunt disciples, who were consideredas nothing by the other disciples who held office in any halls.

Austin was agitated by his attitude. His expression turned furious for amoment, but he then controlled his emotions. Being impulsive wouldnot be a wise move especially when they came here to get something.Although he looked like a teenager, he had lived two lives. He hadmuch experience than anyone in the sect. And in his previous life, hewas an experienced Assistant Sales Director in modern society, so hehad his share of unkind words.

"We're here to purchase some elixir for healing wounds. What can yourecommend?”

"Elixir for healing wounds? You mean, you want to purchase some?"The Medicine Hall disciple glanced at Austin and mocked, "The elixir isnot something people like you can afford. The cheapest remedy I havehere is Golden Sore Powder that costs one vital energy crystal per pack.This kind of medicine is good for scalds, cuts, mosquito bites, dizziness,and headaches.”

The Medicine Hall disciple's words were full of contempt when hespoke, and he stared at Austin and Evan disdainfully.

He could see that Evan was badly injured, but he could not believe thatthe two grunt disciples could afford an elixir.

He knew too well about their financial conditions. The grunt disciplesreceived their allowance of only 3 vital energy crystals per month. Evenif they saved it for a year, it would only sum up to 36 vital energycrystals.

On the other hand, the price of an elixir would be at hundreds of vitalenergy crystals. So, there was no way these grunt disciples in front ofhim could afford an elixir.00000000
