The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 399 A Strong Ability To Absorb

Entirely out of the blue, Austin met his old enemy Roger who was the principal disciple of Sun Sect, in the battle ring. Their intense hatred for each other was evoked all over again and old bruises were opened. The battle gained immense importance for each other. It became a matter of life and death.

However, to Austin’s surprise, Roger's Wildfire Spear Skill had reached the Minor Achievement Stage, and he had also achieved a level 7 spear intent. Roger was a much more formidable opponent than before. Austin’s level seven sword intent was suppressed by Roger's level seven spear intent, because the Wildfire Spear Skill which Roger used was a 5th grade skill, higher than the sword skill Austin used.

"Austin, you fled away from death three years ago because of nothing but luck. This time, fate will be on my side. I hope you're ready to die today.”

Roger felt it in his bones that he was going to come out victorious this time.

The look in his eyes became vicious. "Wildfire Spear attack!" He shouted.

The spear that Roger had firmly clasped ejected thousands of purple wildfires. They were the size of a palm and they huddled together like a dense swarm of locusts. Each of the purple wildfire was the heat of the sun packed in a small space. They could burn anything to ashes within seconds.

All the purple wildfires, together, exponentially increased the temperature of the space to a thousand degrees. The moisture in the atmosphere evaporated. The heat flare made sight almost impossible. Austin could just make out the dim outline of Roger and his swarm of purple wildfires.

"Ha ha ha, Austin! This is the fiercest attack in my techniques. I have kept this skill aside especially for you. It's actually your pleasure to turn to dust under my most powerful attack.” Roger mocked.

The thick palm-size purple wildfires occupied the space around Austin, suffocating him. The fearsome high temperature created by the level 7 spear intent overwhelmed Austin. He didn't have a defense ready. The wildfire seemed to have the ability to burn down the sky. There was no way Austin could come out of this alive.

It seemed that Austin was standing in a sea of fire, surrounded by blazing mountains on all sides. Austin's entire body was shaking. It was only going to be a matter of minutes till Austin was burnt to his last cell.

All the audience were shaking their heads in dismay. They sighed and gave up hope of ever seeing Austin alive on the battle ring.

Austin knew that he couldn't resist Roger's attack if he only used the level 7 sword intent. Therefore, he decided to try the level 5 Overlord Body-refining Formula to have a go at Roger and his purple wildfires. The physique strength of level 5 Overlord Body-refining Formula cultivator could resist the attack from a martial artist of the Mysterious Realm. Although Roger's spear skill was quite powerful, Roger's cultivation base was only at the premium stage of Earth Realm. Austin figured that using level 5 Overlord Body-refining Formula could be enough to tackle Roger.

In addition, as long as he called upon the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle at the same time to weaken Roger's spear intent, there was a substantial chance that Austin would succeed.

Just then, Austin suddenly felt the light ball in his elixir field quiver slightly. He could tell that it was feeling joyous.

But why? What for? Was it because...

From his experience, Austin knew that the light ball in his elixir field could not only go out of his body but also absorb masculine energy if it wanted to. The light ball was an entity on its own that acted according to its will.

Thousands of purple wildfires in sight definitely belonged to masculine energy. The light ball could absorb that energy!

Thinking of that, Austin used his mind to call the light ball. "Shmm." The light ball went through his body and suspended itself in front of Austin. It gave off a dazzling, almost blinding golden light.

As soon as it appeared, the light ball began absorbing in copious amounts. It was a glorious sight to look at. It created a swirling eddy of energy and pulled thousands of palm-size purple wildfires towards its center. Austin gradually felt at ease.

Soon enough, all the purple wildfires, which were boundless and had even covered the whole battle ring were all absorbed by the light ball. Without wildfires, the audience were able to see the present scene clear as daylight.

"How could this happen?”

Braxton bellowed.

Almost all the energy he had used to attack Austin had been absorbed by the dazzling golden light ball which had appeared all of a sudden. The strength of Wildfire Spear Skill was disintegrating. Braxton had never in his wildest dreams imagined this.

The confident smile that his face radiated in expectation of a resounding victory, had been swept away leaving behind disbelief.

On the other hand, Austin felt giddy inside. He was excited at the prospect of holding inside so much energy.

Compared to the usual way, the cultivation had a way better effect this way!

It gave him an idea. "I'll battle more martial artists who cultivate masculine formulas and skills, so that I can absorb their energy when they attack. It'll help speed up my cultivation, * he thought.

"I can't believe that you survived. Stop playing these childlike tricks. I am still going to kill you.”

Bringing himself to the present and disregarding whatever had taken place, Braxton attacked again. This time, a purple gas that could cover dozens of acres ejected from the tip of the spear. The gas turned into purple wildfires that burnt the air. The entire space was flaming again. However, before he could take next step to attack, the dazzling golden light ball in front of Austin quivered slightly and all the purple wildfires flew to it. The purple wildfires were like flying moths which dart into the fire though they know they would die. Again all the wildfires were absorbed by the light ball.

The key of Braxton's spear skill was the complementary nature of the spear intent and fire strength. But now, the masculine vital energy force contained in the spear had drained. Without the support of masculine energy, spear intent was essentially useless.

"Ha-ha, Braxton!" It was Austin’s turn to mock, this time. "I was superior to you three years ago, and now I'm still better than you.

For me, you are simply a grasshopper at the end of autumn—nearing its end.

I have spared you long enough, but now you are going to pay for what you and your grandfather have done to me. I haven't forgotten those injustices!

You're dying today, you bastard. Then, I'll find the old dog Jaime and tear him apart.”

Austin's eyes were fixed intently on Braxton. They were burning with vengeance.

Braxton however knew his time was up. The momentum of spear had weakened. It wouldn't cause even a little harm to Austin.

Austin took the light ball back to his elixir field. Using the Wind- commanding Skill and leaving behind a ghost of shadow, he scurried in front of Braxton instantly.

Braxton though had a solid cultivation base and had sensed Austin's movements immediately.

"You're looking for death," Braxton whispered.

He roared as he performed the Wildfire Spear Skill with his long spear in his hand regardless of all consequences. But the momentum of his spear was not strong enough to have any impact. Instead, its effect was half of what it previously was.

He could not perform a full-fledged attack with that skill again. All of this was because of the light ball absorbing all the purple wildfires. That skill was taxing on Braxton's body and he couldn't do his best this time.
