The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 171

Austin turned and looked at the outer disciple calmly, his face a mask.

The two gazed at each other for a long moment.

"Well?

I've asked you to leave in my capacity as the owner of this house. Why are you still standing at my gate?" Austin asked.

"Okay. You're the former number one of the outer ring. You enjoyed that pseudonym for some strange reason. And I, for yet another weird reason I don't know yet, have become interested in you," the ordinary-looking outer disciple began talking.

"What are you talking about? Are you interested in me? I'm sorry but I'm only interested in women. You need to look for someone else," Austin joked before pursing his lips to stifle a smile.

"The Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge will be held in fifteen days. Will you be attending it?" the outer disciple asked, ignoring Austin's jibe.

Austin was stunned.

Of course, he knew about the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge!

Three years ago, Austin had taken part in the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge. He had defeated all other outer disciples and emerged victorious, resulting in being ranked number one.

It was in the past, but the memory of his experience and the resultant glory still brought joy to him.

However, Austin had now become less impulsive as he tried to start and live a new life.

What was most important to him now was to improve his cultivation base and his power.

In these three years, the people who had almost beaten him to death had been promoted to the position of principal disciples, even their cultivation bases had been at the Earth Realm. If he was content being an outer disciple, did it make sense to only fight for the fame that came with being number one?

"Well. All that, for me, is in the past. If you want to attend this Ranking Challenge, you're most welcome to. You can go directly there. I don't care and it has nothing to do with me anymore. Please leave me be," Austin replied coldly.

He was wearing a cold expression when speaking.

"It seems like these past three years haven't been kind to you," the disciple said, nodding.

He maintained his calm as he sighed.

"But there is one thing I'd like to remind you. This Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge is different from what it was earlier. The disciples to hold the top three positions have the opportunity to be directly promoted to become principal disciples. The Sect has always tried to choose the most talented disciples. And once they have been chosen, they have a lot coming up. They will be sent to a mysterious ancient location to try to wrangle a piece of good luck. And I believe you should be really interested in this information," the outer disciple said, enunciating every word slowly.

He seemed to be sure that Austin would be tempted to take part in the Ranking Challenge after what he had just said.

And just as he had expected, Austin looked excited.

If the challenge was only for the fame, Austin would hold it in high disdain because according to him, fame would bring nothing but trouble.

But it would be a completely different matter if there was a chance to be promoted to principal disciple attached to it. The Sect would use all the resources to cultivate him, as long as he was qualified to be a principal disciple.

What he could achieve then was completely different from what he could do as just an outer disciple.

Austin's mind seemed to be whirring at this news.

Moreover, if he had the chance to visit the ancient mysterious place, as the outer disciple had put it, there was a high chance for him to hit the jackpot and gain good fortune.

Austin believed that the ordinary-looking outer disciple was not lying to him, although he did not know where this instinct came from.

"Oh? Sounds interesting," Austin said.

"Haha! Just as I expected! You are interested only if there's something practical there. These past three years have changed you a lot.

But believe me, everything I told you is true," he said, his face too serious to be a facade.

Moments later, the outer disciple broke into a reassuring smile, still gazing at Austin.

"Okay. I have to admit that you know me well. And you have successfully gotten to me.

I promise that I will attend the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge in fifteen days. I believe you will also be attending it, won't you? If yes, then we will face each other in the Challenge soon," Austin said, quite resolutely.

"Me? Of course I will be there. See you at the Challenge then."

The outer disciple turned around and left without another word.

'Who is this guy?

He must be someone in the outer part, with such a high cultivation base!' Austin thought.

But he did put any further thought to it.
