Afterwards, Austin looked down. What was left in front of him was a long scarlet sword which had a mysterious shimmering streak of magical light emanating from it.
It was a high-grade spiritual weapon that Lois received from his ancestors.
There were three words engraved on the blade of the sword, which read Violet Royal Sword.
Austin stood up and decided to test the sword's ability. He aimed at a giant tree and sliced it using the blade. In an instant, a streak of strong scarlet light flashed from the sword as it was cutting the tree.
And right after the Violet Royal Sword had completely sliced through the tree, the enormous tree that had a width of at least five men's arms' length began to shake. And then it started tilting and was slowly falling to the ground. Austin retreated to a safe distance, about 20 feet from the falling tree. A roaring and rumbling sound came from the falling tree. The ground shook as it fell, creating a loud bang which resonated throughout the forest. The animals were surprised and frightened; birds left their nests and flew into the sky, the deer scattered everywhere trying to find a safe place to hide, and the rats wiggled into their caves...
'Wow! This is a surprisingly sharp sword.'
Austin was fascinated and amazed with the sword's power.
Holding the sword in his hand, Austin started thinking as to how to use it for his own gain.
As of this moment, he had acquired martial arts skills of Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, Wind-commanding Skill, Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, Twin Shadow Blades, and the 1000 pounds' lifting capability he got from Overlord Body-refining Formula.
Mulling over his skills, he realized that none of them required a sword or even needed a sword.
Although the Twin Shadow Blades sounded like a skill that would require some sort of weapon, but in reality, it only required the use of his mind in order to control it.
But since he had obtained a powerful sword, he felt the need to start learning and practicing a new martial art that required it.
Considering that the Violet Royal Sword was a high-grade spiritual weapon, Austin felt that it would be such a waste not to use it. He thought that he should practice swordsmanship skill that would suit this sword. This way, the sword would be of use and would finally be worth all the trouble he had been through just to acquire it.
The first place that came into his mind where he could find a swordsmanship skill book was the Sacred Scriptures Library. However, having been there once, he knew that most of the books in that library were only about grade two or grade three swordsmanship skills, which seemed too low of a grade for such a powerful sword.
Among all the skills he had learned so far, the Wind-commanding Skill was a grade five martial arts skill, and the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was a grade four martial arts skill while the Overlord Body-refining Formula was even more remarkable as to be a grade seven martial arts skill.
After learning and mastering all these high-grade martial arts skills, Austin honestly felt indifferent to much lower grade martial arts skills, such as those belonged to second or third grade.
It was like a person who became accustomed to having delicious food and was being forced to eat buns. He felt that the skill books in the Sacred Scriptures Library were way below his talents and skills.
To match the Violet Royal Sword, it seemed like he needed to find a high-grade swordsmanship skill book from somewhere else.
'Maybe I should try my luck on an auction since I finally have the means to buy something. I have so many vital energy crystals after all, ' he thought to himself.
Now, with things worth 300, 000 vital energy crystals in his pocket, he felt that it would be easier to purchase the kind of book he wanted.
'It seems like it's time to go back, '
