Finally alone in his room, Austin took out the Space Ring that Roc King had given him from his pocket and stared at it for a long time.
He figured this wasn't an ordinary gift from a great master like Roc King himself.
'According to Roc King, he got the stuff inside the ring from a human master.
So if he called that person a master, that cultivator must be incredibly powerful, ' he contemplated.
There was only one way to find out if that was true. So, using his spiritual sense, Austin slipped inside the ring to check its contents. Lo and behold, he found two jade slips with martial skills recorded in them.
This got his heart beating faster. He took the jade slips out of the ring and picked one of them to read the information inside, still with the use of his spiritual sense.
It turned out that the jade slip had recorded the Dragon Lightness, a bodily movement skill.
Studying the content, Austin learned how mysterious and profound the Dragon Lightness was.
If he could master it, then he could double, or even more, his speed.
It was the best bodily movement skill he had ever known and he would never pass on the chance to acquire it.
Austin proceeded to the other jade slip, which had recorded the Magic Archery, another rare martial skill.
The deeper he read through the information, the more amazed he became.
'Oh, the benefits are just too irresistible. If I successfully grasp this skill, I could easily shoot my enemy even if he's on the move and ahead of me by dozens or even hundreds of miles.
If I practice this skill more, I can take my enemy down even if he is a few thousand miles ahead of me.
The higher my vital energy realm is, the farther the arrow can reach and hit my target, ' Austin realized.
He was getting too giddy about the possibilities.
"Awesome! These jade slips have recorded such useful skills! They're just for me!
Who knew that I could get even more powerful?
Bodily movement skill and archery skill...
I'll master you both!"
Austin said, enthusiastic like a little boy attending school for the first time.
Then, out of the blue, he jolted. An idea came to him.
He rubbed the Space Ring, with great care of course, and took out a purple bow.
It was the Invincible Bow, which he acquired in an ancient battlefield below the sea in the Middle World Waters of the Prime Martial World.
The Invincible Bow had ten restrictions. The more restriction forces Austin managed to break, the more powerful it would be.
So far, he had already broken its third restriction.
He didn't often use the bow, though.
With Magic Archery, the Invincible Bow would come in perfectly handy as he practiced the skill.
"Hmmm, I wonder how many restrictions I can break now," Austin muttered.
He got on his feet and started working on Invincible Bow's fourth restriction.
The purple Invincible Bow floated in front of him, emitting a prismatic light.
He practiced relentlessly for two hours, after which he broke its fourth restriction.
Four down, six more to go.
He had progressed so much in terms of his vital energy and spiritual sense.
'Invincible Bow is a powerful weapon. But I will be able to maximize its full potential when I master the Magic Archery, '
Austin thought, the determination in his mindset reflected in the sharpness in his eyes.
In the days that followed, Austin did nothing but acquire new skills.
One month later, on a starry night, a shadow moved rapidly across the mountain like a ghost.
That shadow was Austin.
He had already mastered the Dragon Lightness. With every step he took, a light dot would appear, as if to leave a trace. A constellation of dots formed on the paths around the mountain, showing the extent of his journey.
Austin still couldn't wrap his head around the worth of this skill.
