The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 80 Get Successfully Promoted (Part One)

After a series of challenges, Austin finally showed up at the Martial ArtsPerforming Field.

As soon as he arrived, Evan ran up to him to replace out more information.He finally reached Austin and paused first to regain his breath. "Tin, youfinally came out from the Dummy Training Field. How was your harvestthere?"

"Well, not bad,” Austin said.

"But why did the examination suddenly come to an end?" he askeddoubtfully.

He also felt quite disappointed as he was still hoping to harvest more,after his successful reap at the Dummy Training Field.

However, he abruptly and unexpectedly received the notice whichstated that the examination had ended, and that he should withdrawfrom the field immediately.

Evan rubbed his sweaty forehead before he answered.

"It was said that the stewards are afraid that there won't be enoughtime, so they had to end it in advance,” he said.

After Evan spoke, Austin suddenly realized something.

"Evan, there may be another session of the examination. Try your bestat the session,” he said earnestly.

"If you pass the examination this time, I'll treat you to a good meal atthe Lotus Tavern in Peace Town."

Austin knew that he would surely be promoted, but he was a littleworried about Evan.

"The Lotus Tavern?" Evan said surprisingly.

He took a deep breath before speaking again.

"Tin, I've heard that the ingredients chosen for the recipes are all meatfrom high-grade monsters and diabolic beasts, and their wine is alsothe magic wine refined by alchemists. Their prices are outrageouslyhigh," he continued.

Even though Evan's mind watered at the sound of delicious food, hecouldn't help but think of the expensive prices.

"What are you worried about? If you want to try their meat and wine,just do your best at the examination,” Austin said.

"Otherwise, there will be no such a chance available,” he addedseriously.

Evan's eyes lit up in delight. "Don't worry Tin! I won't loaf around at theexamination,” he said.

Meanwhile, several stewards who sat on the viewing platform forspecial guests were finally relieved when they saw Austin emerge fromthe field.

They heaved a deep sigh they've been holding for a while. Now, theywere ready to announce the next session of the promotionexamination.

Several figures with unfathomable power sat among the stewards in thespacious meeting hall for senior leaders of Sun Sect.

A gentleman who looked like a Confucian scholar sat in the middle ofthe hall.

A pale blue vital energy loomed around him and made him look like agod. Anyone that would feel his momentum of power would certainlybe horrified.

He was the one and only Theon Xiang, the top leader of Sun Sect.Everything from his speech to his behavior exuded a dominant aura.The other six were the elders of Sun Sect, who all had great influenceand high reputation. They were so powerful that if any of themstomped their feet, the whole Sun Sect would experience violentearthquakes.

"Your grace, I've heard that in recent times, several groups of discipleswho have gone out on duty have disappeared one after another,” amiddle-aged woman dressed as a Taoist nun said. "But, what is the realsituation?" she asked.

Her face twisted into a frown as she waited for an answer.

Although she wasn't that young, her eyes still looked pretty andcharming, and her body was as slender as a young girl's.

Theon looked pensive before he answered her.

"Yes, Elder Su, what you've heard is right. Sun Sect has lost a thousanddisciples in the past six months, even including more than a hundredinner disciples,” he said grimly.

Melancholy crossed his face as he heavily shook his head.

Sun Sect only had a total of four or five hundred inner disciples. Thehundred that suddenly went missing were equal to almost one-fifth oftheir total number. It was considered a huge loss.

"And now that we have less than five thousand outer disciples, our SunSect will only continue to weaken unless we increase the number ofinner disciples,” he continued after a pause.

"Your grace, you did make a good point. Our sect has the largestnumber of outer disciples, and it is also the basis of our sect. It seemsthat the five sects are harmonious for the time being—but in fact, thefights and struggle between the sects are also quite obvious,” An oldman with gray hair and mustache suddenly spoke up as well.

"If our Sun Sect is weak right now, we're only afraid that the other foursects will launch attacks against us,” he added worriedly.

Upon hearing his words, the rest of the crowd became seriouslyanxious. Tension hung heavily in the air.

"Your grace, who are those villains and what makes them have thenerve to kill so many of our disciples and become enemies of our SunSect? And have they ever thought about the consequences of angeringour Sun Sect like that? How can they not respect us?"

A tall, red-faced elder roared angrily as he abruptly slapped his hand onthe chair's armrest.

"Elder Jiang, you are actually joking, right?

Those villains have killed thousands of our disciples; do you think theywill respect us? You're just speaking without thinking first!" anotherwoman said sharply.

Her face was stone cold, which made people feel that they should stayfar away from her.

"Elder Li, you..." Elder Jiang exclaimed.

However, he abruptly stopped speaking.

He couldn't replace the right words to express his mixed emotions.

"You two Elders, stop arguing now,” Theon waved his hand and sighed."I have been sending our disciples with high martial skills to investigatethe matter during this period, but not much progress has been made,”he said.

Then he added,” Those who went missing seemed to have evaporatedin the air—we found no bodies so we don't know if they are dead oralive."
