The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 167

Austin punched the vital energy cover incessantly as if he was a fierce humanoid beast. Marvin felt Austin's punching was gradually destabilizing the vital energy cover and it would be broken any time now.

Marvin marveled at the person in front of him. How strong and vigorous was he! He attacked like a ferocious beast not by the virtue of his vital energy but by using his physical strength. Even his breaths exuded great power.

"But how could this be?"

Earlier, at the Beast Mountain, they had fought against two level-two evil apes together. By now, Marvin clearly knew Austin's strengths.

Of course, when they had not fought, he supposed Austin's biggest advantage to be his agile movements.

As for the cultivation of vital energy and combat capability, Marvin believed that he could outperform Austin.

But several months later, the Austin he was looking at was entirely a different person who had extraordinary physical strength.

"Is it possible that Austin acquired a superior elixir to enhance physical strength?"

Marvin speculated on this but then a second later, something broke his trail of thought.

"Austin, do you think you can break my vital energy cover with brute force alone? Hum! physical strength, it's so shallow that you can never reach a higher level."

After saying that, Marvin's billowing vital energy flowed more quickly on the vital energy cover.

The almost broken vital energy cover immediately became firm and steady again.

Austin saw that and promptly concentrated on the strength of his arms and began to beat the cover as if it were a drum.

Boom!

He punched the cover non-stop.

Marvin kept moving backwards in an attempt to get rid of Austin's punches.

But Austin's cultivation base and bodily movements were now far better than Marvin's. No matter how he moved and dodged, Austin managed to appear in front of him and hit the vital energy cover with accuracy and force.

After several failures, Marvin eventually realized that he could not avoid Austin's punches only by relying on his bodily movements.

In any case, Marvin couldn't remove the vital energy cover from his body for if he did, he would be without the protection of the cover and squashed into pieces by Austin's powerful punches.

Though Marvin was confident about his vital energy cultivation base, he had never worked on his body and thus, was weaker in comparison to Austin's.

To the disciples watching this whole scene, it looked as if Marvin was intentionally trying his strength against Austin.

Austin continued to carry on with the punches as Marvin defended himself behind the vital energy cover.

"This guy has some scary strength. He is as strong as an ox going by the tireless punches he is pulling constantly!"

Thought a disciple, struck in awe by the display of Austin letting off his strength.

"Definitely! His body is most likely to weigh more than a thousand pounds."

Chipped in a senior outer disciple who was also rapt by the scene in front of them.

"Hum, it's useless. Real strength is based on the level of the vital energy cultivation base. Austin will be soon defeated by our Marvin," disagreed a devout follower of Marvin.

Other disciples knew it was Marvin's follower who had just spoken. Fearing that he would hold a grudge lest they disagreed with him, no one dared express anything contrary. Plus, this follower knew one or two things about taking revenge.

When the follower had barely shushed everyone into meek silence, suddenly, a string of cracking sounds, small but penetrating, sounded off with clarity.
