"It's not your fault. The problem is in me. I am not strong enough to protect you."
Austin's voice was full of regret.
"But from now on, I promise you Caroline, I will cultivate myself hard. I will make myself the strongest. When that day comes, no one can ever take you away from me. I will never let anyone touch you. I promise to protect you with all my life," said Austin in a gentle tone.
He then rested his chin on her head. The fragrance of her hair filled his nose.
"I believe you," replied Caroline in a sweet voice.
She felt like she was the happiest woman in the world. Any woman in her shoes would definitely feel the same.
"By the way, the man who just came by was Will Fang. He is not a simple person. It would be best if you stay away from him," warned Caroline.
As much as possible, she didn't want Austin to get into any trouble again.
"What do you know about him?" asked Austin.
He was not scared at all. But it would also be useful if he knew some information about that man.
"He is one of the five talents at the base. Although he is just twenty-four years old, he is already at the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm," explained Caroline.
"It is said that he is one of the most important disciples for the senior members there," she added.
Caroline wanted Austin to be aware of Will Fang's background so he would also know how to deal with him the next time they would meet.
She knew that the possibility of Will Fang and Austin to cross paths again was very high.
"I don't care who he is. If he dares to make undesirable actions on you again, I will never let him go," said Austin coldly.
A hint of fury flashed through his eyes.
However, Austin was also aware that he was too weak in comparison with the strong cultivators as of the moment.
He still needed to train and cultivate himself harder.
'If Elder Brendan didn't stop us, I might have been defeated by Will. He is at the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm and his martial skills are extremely powerful. I am really no match for him, ' brooded Austin.
He recalled everything that happened in his mind.
'He created a livid sea to break the seas of fire. Those were three kinds of Unearthly Fire and Black Hell Fire. They were supposed to be incredibly powerful. But Will withstood the blow in a heartbeat. Meaning, he is really a formidable opponent.'
Austin couldn't deny the fact that he was impressed with Will's talents.
He wished to be as strong as him or even stronger.
When he was still in the Prime Martial World, he was one of the best cultivators there. Almost everyone admired him.
But when he came to the Divine Continent, he realized that he was just a weak cultivator.
Being an ambitious person, Austin didn't want to remain a loser. He also wanted to prove to everyone that he could also be a match for those strong cultivators. Hence, he was so anxious to improve his own strength.
On the days that followed, Austin kept on cultivating himself on the hill.
He spent most of his time on the Golden Sun Scripture.
As he was working on enhancing his spiritual sense, Austin released the spiritual tree and took out a great number of spiritual and superior herbs from his Space Ring. Through this, the spiritual tree could absorb the energy from the herbs and convert it into his spiritual sense.
Furthermore, he spent some time practicing the Mysterious Dragon Fist, the Dragon Lightness and the Magic Archery.
Austin tried to form more and more vital energy dragons because the more vital energy dragons he got, the more powerful the Mysterious Dragon Fist would be.
Meanwhile, the more he cultivated the Dragon Lightness, the more shocking and mysterious he found it be.
Now he finally understood why Roc King who was a great master in the beast race cherished this bodily movement skill so much and gave it to him as a present.
The deeper understanding he had of this skill, the higher the potential he could master it.
He actually had improved a lot already. Now, each time he took a stride, he seemed to become invisible to everyone, for his moves actually involved the rule of heaven and earth.
Austin was extremely glad to have learned this bodily movement skill.
The Dragon Lightness would become one of his best skills in battling with his enemies.
He also didn't forget the Magic Archery.
He knew that using the Invincible Bow to perform the Magic Archery would be lethal.
If he would master this skill, he could take out his opponents even their cultivation base was higher than his.
'Practice makes perfect, ' thought Austin.
'Once I break into a higher vital energy realm, I can break more restrictions on the Invincible Bow. If that happens, the combination of the Invincible Blow and the Magic Archery will be more powerful.'
A month had passed.
Austin decided to stop practicing the Golden Sun Scripture for the time being.
