The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Chapter 65 The First Affection In The New World (Part One)

Nevertheless, having known the reason, Austin felt a certain degree of excitement of finding such a

precious treasure here.

He had now known that this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill had two weaknesses; one was the

powerful, significant spiritual sense that it required from the cultivator, and the other was the enormous

amount of vital energy it would consume during the process of cultivation. It was said that at least 70%

of the vital energy of a cultivator was needed, which was an extremely high amount that an ordinary

disciple would never dare to lose.

To Austin, however, the weaknesses could be advantageous for he already had a powerful spiritual

sense. This was a requirement for the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill cultivation. The vital energy

stone in the elixir field that he had previously obtained could be used to replenish his vital energy

during cultivation. And so, he didn't need to worry about how much vital energy was being consumed.

Therefore, this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill seemed to have been made especially for him. The

idea of trying it out appealed to Austin.

Apart from the fact that it was a grade four martial arts skill, the destructive force that it demonstrated

was also pretty tempting.

Till now, Austin hadn't been able to acquire a relatively strong and aggressive martial arts skill.

When practicing at Beast Mountain, he had used his Cloud Swordsmanship to eliminate the diabolic

beasts that he had encountered.

If by any chance, he could cultivate this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, he would at least earn a

decent weapon. And right now, Austin seemed to have obtained the necessary knowledge and

resources that the cultivation required.

"I will choose this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill," Austin said to the old man in charge.

"After what I told you, you still want it?" cried the man in surprise.

He had thought that after his long speech and his lengthy introduction to the disadvantages of the

Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, no one would dare to select it. It was beyond his expectation that

Austin would be stubborn enough to pick it.

"Yes, I do. Since it is considered to be the most potent weapon that is being displayed here, I am

attracted to it and wish to have it. And besides, as it is placed on the first floor, I am entitled to take it

although it is a grade four martial arts skill. I think that it will be beneficial for my practice. So would you

please grant it to me?"

implored Austin reverently, lest the man should refuse him.

"Are you certain that you won't regret it?"

asked the old man, still doubting whether Austin had heard his warning or not. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I am sure that I won't regret choosing it. So would you please agree with my request?" pursued Austin,

smiling meekly.

"If you so insist, then I have no other option but to give it to you."

The old man agreed at last although he still shook his head. In his view, the Grand Pagoda Summoning

Skill would only do Austin more harm than good. Choosing it would literally mean inviting trouble.

But then, thinking about it from Austin's perspective, being attracted by such a powerful weapon and

wanting to challenge it was also a reasonable explanation. Just because it was dangerous didn't mean

that Austin couldn't conquer it. It would be a waste if the old man kept it here for caution's sake.

Eventually, someone would have to try it.

Luckily, Austin was just an outer disciple. He wasn't popular outside the sect. So, even if he failed, he

would not bring much loss to the sect's reputation. On the contrary, if he were unimaginably strong and

conquered the cultivation method while still an outer disciple, then the honor of the success would be

remarkable and would inevitably increase the sect's reputation.

"And please, I want to exchange the Raging Dragon Fist as well," Austin said to the old man as he

pointed at the martial arts skill book.

"You can only exchange one for free," the old man informed Austin with a quick roll of his eyes. Not

only was Austin stubborn, he now seemed greedy as well.

"I know. I want to exchange it for contribution credits. How many credits will it cost me?" Austin

inquired.

"Fifteen contribution credits," the old man replied shortly.

"My God! I didn't think it would be so expensive," Austin cried and grinned at the old man awkwardly.

But what other option did he have? The price might be reasonable considering it was a grade two

martial arts skill. At last, he agreed to exchange the Raging Dragon Fist for fifteen contribution credits.

In all honesty, Austin only had that many contribution credits. Now that he had bought the Raging

Dragon Fist, he was completely out of contribution credits.

The minute Austin saw the Raging Dragon Fist, he had thought of Evan. Even though it cost him all his

credits, Austin was thrilled that he had been able to buy Evan a gift.

He knew that although Evan was not very talented in martial arts, he was not hopeless. In the past,

Evan had been too poor to afford any cultivation resources.

For over a year now, Evan had been stuck at the first-level of the Energy Gathering Realm. A few days

ago, Austin gave him two of his Energy-boosting Elixirs. These pills should enable Evan to develop his

vital energy.

Besides, among the remaining earth spirit fruits that Austin had left, a few were intended for Evan. With

these many cultivation resources, Austin believed that Evan would quickly advance to the third-level of

the Energy Gathering Realm.

And he knew that once Evan had reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm, he would be

competent enough to practice the Raging Dragon Fist he had bought for Evan.

As he was exchanging the Raging Dragon Fist for his contribution credits, Austin heard the old man

grumbling," You young people are always impetuous. You have insatiable eagerness to see and try

everything that seems powerful and attractive to you. Even after knowing the dangers, you are

determined. I advise you to pay extra attention to what you have just chosen today, young man."

Austin grinned, nodded his head, and did not say anything. After collecting both, his Grand Pagoda

Summoning Skill and the Raging Dragon Fist, he walked out of the Sacred Scriptures Library.

It was a quiet and peaceful evening. The moon was extremely large and bright.

The moon hung low in the sky, pouring its silver, luminous light over the earth. Perfect silence and

serenity surrounded the mountain.

In the cottage, Austin sat on the bed with his legs crossed. With steady, attentive eyes, he watched the

Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill that was placed in front of him after supper.

From time to time, he raised his head and contemplated over the content of the book in his mind. And

then, as he finished memorizing all of its content, he drew a deep, long breath to relax.
