The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 384 The Third Step of Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill

Austin ended his short period of cultivation in the suburbs of imperial capital city and came back to the young prince's mansion. This happened just in time as the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games was about to begin in two days from now.

Now, instead of going around, Austin chose to seclude himself from world during these remaining days.

A high level energy gathering Array was set up inside the training room in the small house the prince had given him.

His seclusion was mainly for the cultivation of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. He had utilized it a few times before and wanted to practice

The Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill contained three steps and until now, Austin had only mastered the first and the second, which enabled him to create a six-layered pagoda.

But he was at the premium stage of Earth Realm now, which made him confident enough to try the third step and create a nine-layered pagoda.

If he could achieve the last step and create a nine-layered pagoda, he would stand a far better chance in front of his enemies during the games.

Inside his training room, Austin sat in a cross-legged position. His mind and soul were mingled with each other and his palms kept on performing the finger movements of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, trying to create a nine-layered pagoda.

To create each layer of the pagoda required several finger movements. He needed to extract enormous amounts of vital energy from his body to form the body of the pagoda

After having mastered the first two steps of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, Austin already had a profound knowledge of the art and the skills required.

In a nutshell, to be a beginner at this martial art and create a three- layered pagoda required about a 1000 different finger movements.

To create a six-layered pagoda required 2000 such movements, each unique and different from the other.

And to create a nine-layered pagoda required three thousand movements.

This meant that during the process of creating the nine-layered pagoda Austin needed to constantly extract the vital energy from his body while performing the 3000 different movements in order to forge the nine-layered pagoda.

The whole process was extremely exhausting. Hence, it not only required an abundant amount of vital energy, but also asked for a lot of patience and strong spiritual sense.

Besides, after the pagoda was forged completely, an enormous energy wave would rush towards the cultivator from the direction of the pagoda. His body might be crushed into pieces if he couldn't handle that wave properly.

Although he had had an experience with the first two steps, Austin still underestimated the difficulty of forging the nine-layered pagoda. During these two days, he tried a hundred times and failed a hundred times. Finally, there was a deafening sound of an explosion which drifted out of the training room.

One of the walls of the room was completely wrecked by the overwhelming and aggressive vital energy.

Even Austin himself was burned black. Black smoke surrounded him when he came out of the training room.

But he seemed really delighted. He had finally mastered the third step of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill and was able to forge a nine- layered pagoda now.

During the process Austin needed so much vital energy that he had to constantly draw vital energy from the stone inside his elixir field over ten times.

It was fortunate that he possessed that stone. Otherwise he could not have mastered this powerful skill.

"Look at this little beggar. Are you alright?"

"Young man, what happened..." .

Mike, Ivy, and Sue had already gathered outside the training room when they had heard the explosion.

Upon seeing Austin coming out of the training with ashes all over him but with a smile on his face, they all felt speechless.

"Haha, I'm fine.

Finally the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games is about to start. What an exciting event.”

Austin's crystal clear eyes were in sharp contrast to his black skin... .. The next morning, as

the darkness of the night was invaded by the first light from above, everything and everyone seemed to be awakening and the leaves sang in the morning dew, complimented by the birds.

All the young martial artists gathered around in the square in the young prince's mansion. They had already been told to do so the previous night.

When Austin arrived at the square, there were already over a hundred people in there.

"Morning, Tin!"

Dewey greeted him. He seemed to have been waiting for Austin for a while.

"Good morning. My name is Maria.”

A girl approached Austin and introduced herself to him as soon as he set foot in the square.

“Emm?”

The girl was looking really sharp in her black suit which revealed the perfect body she possessed. She had the curves of a siren. The concaves and the bulges on her body were arranged perfectly and she looked delightful.

The black suit she was wearing reflected the beams of golden light from the morning sun

Actually, her dress was a protective armor made of the silk spun by five- colored silkworms, which was a fourth grade diabolic beast.

Since Austin was already about 17, he knew enough about sex and hormones to be aroused. He could not help fixing his eyes on the girl's bouncy and fascinating legs. Her legs were extremely white and slim as if they were carved from a stainless jade.

"Emm..."

"Good morning, I'm Austin. Do I know you?"

He replied as he withdrew his sight. He was only able to restore his consciousness after he had stared at the girl's thighs for quite a while. He found it very embarrassing.

"I surmised that we're on the same side since we're both participating in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games for the young prince.

So I thought it would be good for us to know each other.”

Maria seemed to be naturally very graceful.

"Of course we should know more about each other. Hey, beauty. You can just call me Dewey."

Upon seeing the beautiful girl coming their way, Dewey could not help introducing himself to her flirtingly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Though Maria answered him, she did not even spare a glance at Dewey. She seemed to be solely interested in Austin.

She and Austin then chatted about the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games for a while.

"What the... ."

Dewey felt speechless when he saw his ardor returned with such aloofness.

A short while later, a dozen young martial artists, who seemed to be very powerful, came into the square.

About five of them cast a glance of anger and despise at Austin when they saw him standing beside Maria.

"Who the hell are they?"

"Austin, those five are the strongest among the martial artists recruited by the young prince.

Their names are Michael, Philip, Joshua. Hector and Jossy.

Hasson used to be one of them but he was crippled by you. It's said that he still has not recovered, which makes him unable to join the game.

Hence, you have replaced Hasson and have become one of the six most powerful martial artists recruited by the young prince.”

Maria replied with a smile.

"Miss Wu, you are too modest. Everyone in the mansion knows that there are seven martial artists in here who are known to be the strongest. In addition to the six you have mentioned, you are also one of them.

Miss Maria, my admiration for you is as high as the mountains and as deep as the ocean.”

Dewey suddenly interrupted.

Austin took a serious glance at her now. Although the girl was hiding her strength well enough, he could still tell that she was a very strong martial artist from the sharp lights that flashed through her eyes from time to time.

"Morning, Maria.

Why are you wasting your time on these losers?

You're degrading yourself."

The speaker was of the five young martial artists Maria just mentioned. He saw Maria and Austin whispering to each other and

started coming their way with his eyes overwhelmed with hostility, or rather, jealousy.
