The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 87 A Challenge

Soon enough, Austin and Evan moved into the house they had rentedfor 3, 000 vital energy crystals, and they were perfectly happy in theirnew home.

The house had one bedroom for each of them.

Since they had been poor, they didn't have many belongings except fora few sets of clothes, which made moving in a breeze.

After they had settled in, Austin took out a purple bead from his SpaceRing.

"Violet, come out and look at our new home," Austin called.

A stream of green smoke then rose from the bead, and with a flash ofpink light, a little fox appeared in front of Austin.

The fox lazily stretched its body on the floor as soon as she got out."Master, being stuck in the Illusion Bead all day long made me feelclaustrophobic,” Violet complained.

At the sight of Austin, she began to roll stubbornly on the floor.

"Have you recovered from your injury?” Austin asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm completely fine now," the little fox answered.

He could tell that she had indeed recovered by the healthy flush ofcolor on her face. The demonic beast had much better physical fitnessthan a human, so their injuries naturally healed faster than humanbeings.

"Master, I prefer to be in human form," the little fox said

The little fox turned into a beautiful and charming human girl in a flash.Her gentle features curved into an attractive smile. Her lithe, slenderbody walked gracefully, and she was irresistibly charming. It seemedthat the whole house was filled with her charm.

"Tin!" Evan shouted excitedly.

He ran to Austin's room and was surprised to see a pretty girl when hegot to the doorway.

The charming lady languidly stretched her body on the chair.

He just moved in with Austin and he was pretty sure that there wereonly the two of them.

“How did this pretty girl suddenly appear in Tin's room? Evanwondered. “This girl is really stunning and more charming than othergirls I've seen. The people that Tin likes are very special, * he thoughtagain.

He stood dumbfounded by the doorway, embarrassed and didn't knowwhat to do.

Then, Austin's voice broke his train of thought.

"Evan, come in and meet Violet, * Austin urged.

Evan then shyly entered the room, but he looked down.

He didn't dare to look at the beautiful Violet.

"Evan, this is Violet. She will follow me from now on,” Austin introduced.Shock was written all over Evan's face, but he was also amazed. “Tin isso quick to get such a beautiful girl!" he thought.

"Got it..." he said and respectfully bowed to Violet.

“I'm Evan. Nice to meet you. You must be Tin's girlfriend,” he added.Austin's face immediately crumpled at Evan's words. It turned out thatEvan had misunderstood what he said.

Suddenly, Violet burst into laughs at Evan's words, her hand on herchest. She ogled Austin, and the room instantly felt awkward.

Austin just sighed and tried to explain the situation to Evan. "Youmisunderstood me. You may just call her Violet, she works for me," hesaid.

“Ah, she’s not Tin's girlfriend, but his subordinate, * he thought andnodded.

He couldn't understand their complicated relationship at the moment,but he wasn't going to ask further. It was Austin's business, anyway."Violet, you shouldn't show yourself to anyone else except here, or elseyou'll expose yourself." Austin turned serious and reminded her.

The beautiful girl nodded in understanding.

After that, Austin started to count his properties in his Space Ring.There were still seven earth spirit fruits;

three Energy-boosting Elixirs;

and more than six thousand vital energy crystals.

That was about how much Austin owned now.

To an outer disciple, these things made him a rich man.

However, he knew that it wasn't nearly enough to sustain hiscultivating.

Since ancient times, a man of literature didn't need to be rich in orderto be promoted. On the contrary, a cultivator must not only be diligentand have a good understanding of martial arts—they also needed tohave many resources to support their cultivating in order to achievesuccess.

Now, Austin was in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm and hehad recently been practicing the Golden Sun Scripture—but there wasno sign of a breakthrough.

He knew it was because of the high quality of the Golden Sun Scripture.Unlike the common cultivation method, it took a great quantity of vitalenergy to break through a level.

Austin planned to use the earth spirit fruit to improve his practice andmake breakthroughs as soon as possible.

In addition, Evan's cultivation base was too low—it was just in the thirdlevel of Energy Gathering Realm. He needed a lot of resources to helphim break through.

Moreover, Austin also had to provide Violet with some trainingresources. He would never allow her to continue seducing boys anddrink their blood like before. It was a heresy of cultivation which Austinfound unacceptable.

After his review of their situation, he realized that they had far lesswealth than all of them needed.

It seemed that wealth wasn't only extremely important on earth in hisprevious life, but also in the Prime Martial World.

He would replace out a way to earn more vital energy crystals after theyhad settled down, or else they would deplete their stores sooner orlater.

In another house.

While Austin fretted about his wealth, a man was in a fit of rage in anelaborate, self-contained yard in the same neighborhood.

"Bang!"

A table made of black iron and heavy wood was suddenly smashed intochips. The chips whirled in the air like the table was struck by lightning.At another table stood a young man, his face dark and frightful like theharsh winter.

His body emitted a dark and dangerous aura.

He was tough, capable, experienced, sharp, and spunky!

His every move exuded brilliance. It was quite impressive!

After a while, another voice spoke. "Billy, please avenge us. He brokemy wrist,” the voice said.

"What's more, when I said your name—he claimed that you didn'tdeserve your reputation, and called you dumber than a bucket of spit,”he added.

It was Barton—he and five other teens wore thick gauze around theirwrists, with boards that held the bones in place. It gave off a strongscent of liquid medicine.

Barton complained about how he had been bullied by a new outerdisciple.

In front of him was his brother Billy, who ranked the fifteenth among allthe outer disciples!

He just got back from cultivating himself in the wilderness when Bartoncame to him.

Billy adored Barton, his only younger brother. When they came to SunSect, their father always reminded him to protect Barton.

Now that he had gotten a certain reputation in the outer sect, hisbrother certainly got to live a comfortable life.

Today however, Barton got beaten by a new outer disciple, who hadrecently been promoted from grunt disciple.

If this got out, he would lose his dignity among the outer disciples.

He might as well be the new butt of jokes.

"What is his name?" Billy asked icily.

Barton fidgeted as he answered his brother's question.

"I asked those new disciples. His name is Austin Lin."

"And he's supposed to be the strongest new disciple in this promotion,”he added.

"Austin Lin?"

A strange look suddenly spread across Billy's face when he heard thename.

"Wasn't he a fool before?”

"How did you know?" Barton asked in surprise.

"Yes, Billy. I heard he was a fool, and had a sudden recovery recently.""It was him!" Billy exclaimed.

Billy was startled as he thought of the person who dominated the outersect three years ago. If the enemy was Austin, it might not be easy forhim to deal with things.

During that time, Billy was just a nobody in the outer sect. Later on, hegot his current spear skill, acquired half level spear intent, and obtainedhis present strength and status.

"How's his cultivation base?” Billy asked.

"It's the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm," Barton said. "But, Billy,he has a great bodily movement skill, or we wouldn't have been beatenby him."

"He's in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm?" Billy askedincredulously.

He paused for a moment before asking again, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. He's indeed in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm,”Barton said firmly. "I've confirmed it with the new disciples.”

"Ha ha ha!" Billy began to laugh.

He laughed so heartily that the pressure he felt vanished.

"Good... this is wonderful! The former number one outer disciple is nowjust in the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm

Austin, you were truly respected when you dominated the outer sect.But, now that you've fallen, you ought to behave yourself. You shouldn'tbe so arrogant the minute you got promoted.

Now that you've picked on me, Austin—I'm going to do something thatwill shock the outer sect. I will trample on you in front of all the outerdisciples. I will show all the people how the former number one outerdisciple groans under my feet,” Billy declared.

"This is your consequence for offending me. I'll make you look bad andthey'll spat on you forever!" he added.

Billy was high-spirited now, and his awe-inducing spear intent slicedthe leaves of a Chinese rose beside him, its branches flying away.

With his goal in mind, Billy planned to challenge Austin. "Somebodyarranges a challenge. I, Billy Tang, am going to challenge the new outerdisciple Austin Lin,” he announced.

What?

Billy wanted to challenge Austin?

Everyone present in the yard froze.
