The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 175

Austin finished counting his booty.

He then sat cross-legged and decided to practice the Golden Sun Scripture.

The scripture had obvious effects on power storage and damage caused in attack. No matter how busy Austin was he would squeeze some time to practice it, at least once a day.

However, it seemed that the required amount of vital energy in practicing it was much greater than that of other formulas. Its effect was more noticeable than that of the other formulas, too.

In his earlier practices, Austin felt as if his energy pool had turned into the vortex of a whirlpool, and every time the Golden Sun Scripture was activated and progressed, the vital energy diffused in the nearby space was dragged in.

When he had to stop, the energy in the nearby space would be emptied. When he felt the arid air, he couldn't help but feel both amazed and appalled.

Since then, he had been afraid that others might sense it. So he decided to choose a quieter and secluded space to study the scripture, in order to escape the notice of others.

This time, four hours passed before he stopped. The energy pool in Austin's elixir field had grown to the size of a fist in the shape of a light ball. It pulsed and surged, giving out a blazing and dazzling light that illuminated Austin's whole body and filled him full of surging vital energy.

There was also another surprise because Austin found out that the energy mass could help him draw power from herbs or elixirs by assimilating all of their essences.

It happened twice before but they were uncontrollable.

But now it was not only controllable but proved to be more efficient than taking the elixirs orally. The energy transformed through the light ball was of a lower attrition rate.

When one ingested an elixir, the substance would pass through one's mouth, throat, intestines, and stomach. During the process, the energy contained in the elixir would have been consumed a great deal. In terms of quality and quantity, the energy assimilated that way was lesser.

Austin suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a pile of elixirs from the Space Ring.

Back in the outer range of Grand Desolation Mountains, he had harvested a great amount of elixirs from Gilbert, Nigel and other men. Gilbert's collection in particular contained many high-grade elixirs.

Also, he received many valuable elixirs from Raymond and his men.

In total, the elixirs he owned summed up to no fewer than a dozen now.

He casually took a few from his hoard. Almost all of his elixirs are those that could help store vital energy. He placed the elixirs in front of him and activated the Golden Sun Scripture and controlled the golden light ball to float out. Out of his elixir field, the light ball started to radiate strands of glowing golden light that fell upon the elixir.

In an instant, all the medical essence was assimilated and the elixirs disappeared. It all turned into pure energy.

Austin couldn't help but feel very satisfied of the powerful effect.

He looked into his body and saw that the light ball grew slightly larger.

When he saw the change, he wondered whether it would continue to grow. If it would, how large would it grow in the end.

He assimilated the energy and continued to practice the Golden Sun Scripture some more.

At last, he straightened up and took out a jade slip in the color of light cyan from his store. It was the skill book Austin gained from Ganges Auction House. It recorded the practice process of the Illusory Swordsmanship.

Back in the auction, he exhausted all of his fortune in order to get this set of sword skills.

Also, because of Raymond, a lot of wasted money was spent.

Austin couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he recalled that.

However, as compensation, he looted a great fortune from Raymond and his men. Maybe that was called Karma—Raymond wanted to assault him, but was defeated in the end.

Holding the jade slip in his hand, Austin already knew the correct method to use it.
