The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1980

"It's time for the test to begin!

If you wish to join any of the four schools, then line up. You will take turns to perform two simple things. Announce your name to the Talent Stela, and then attack!

The Talent Stela will rank you based on your age, talent, and potential.

Let us commence the test!"

The elder clad in grey announced and his voice was heard all over.

"I'll go first."

An eager and sturdy young man, looking confident and sure of himself, stepped out of the crowd and walked forwards, stopping directly in front of the Talent Stela.

The elder nodded.

"Duncan," the man announced his name to the Talent Stela and then prepared to attack.

To use the strongest attack possible, he began to run his vital energy force. Surges of it rushed out of his body, sparkling everywhere and the scene turning chaotic.

"Hah!"

With a shout, the vital energy force around his body surged forwards and rushed towards the Talent Stela.

Since he wanted to take no chances in the test, he had gone all out against the Talent Stela in order to prove his worth to the latter.

As someone at the preliminary stage of Minor-perfection Realm, he was formidable enough to be considered and had released his strongest attack right here. Accompanied by a loud boom, the Talent Stela was hit forcefully, though it remained unmoved.

"What do you think of my ranking?"

Duncan retreated with a victorious smile, looking hopeful as he began to search for his name on the Talent Stela.

"Top of the list!"

The next moment, he erupted in joy, seeing his name in the first grid on the Talent Stela.

"Now, now. It's not that. No, you're the only one to have attacked the stela till now. Naturally, your name is on the top.

It doesn't prove anything."

The elder replied lightly.

"Oh," Duncan withdrew with an awkward smile.

The rest of the group sneered at his preposterous supposition.

Sure enough, when the second warrior stepped forward and launched an attack on the Talent Stela, Duncan's name dropped to the second place and another name appeared in the first one.

This meant that the second cultivator was more talented than Duncan.

Now, everyone had an idea of how the Talent Stela ranked their performance and wanted to be on top. The test progressed forwards gradually.

Numerous young warriors lined up, took part in the selection, and blasted at the Talent Stela with their mightiest move possible.

It didn't matter who took part in the test first. Your power decided your ranking.

Therefore, several of these warriors, especially those who were much more powerful than the rest of them, were in no hurry to take the test. Austin was also among them, and he was standing silently in a corner.

"Austin, we want to make a deal with you. If you release Max, Our Ji Clan will give you a thousand superior herbs at or above grade five.

We'll also give you a semi-omnipotent herb."

Austin had been busy watching the test with interest when he heard a voice echo across his Soul Sea.

He turned around to check.

An elder in black was looking at him.

He was no superman; just an ordinary elder of the Ji Clan.

"A thousand and a half superior herbs at or above grade six, and a semi-omnipotent herb!"

Austin thought for a while and then responded with a demand of his own.

After his adventures in the Spiritual Tower of the Angel City, Austin had captured six powerful warriors and locked them up inside the Slave Tower.

These were all important personalities, including the Holy Sons of the Vasteras Holy Land and the Rudimentary Holy Land; the Holy Daughter Polly and the Holy Son Stephen of the Arcane Holy Land had also been captured; as well as Max from the Ji Clan and Belinda from the Shen Clan.

Dave, who was from the Rudimentary Holy Land had already been handed over to Yannick, but the others were still in the Slave Tower.

But this had happened a while back. Now, Austin had broken through and was much stronger than before.

These so-called strong warriors meant nothing to him and it was meaningless for him to keep them locked away.

He pondered over it for a while. This was a good opportunity, and he could use it to exchange their lives for some superior herbs and semi-omnipotent herbs. Those resources would be much more valuable to him.

"What?! How could you!"

The elder hadn't imagined even in his wildest dreams that Austin would demand such an exorbitant price.

However, he had no other choice, "Okay, I agree."
