The young man belonging to the Joy Gang, who had come to confront Austin, was now paralyzed with fear at Austin's threats. The vindictive scowl on his face had long been replaced by a vacant, awkward terror and he now blinked at Austin like a bewildered bird.
He had no idea why the mere sound of Austin's words had terrified him so much. For a moment, he could feel nothing but the pounding of his heart.
The other young man Austin had previously defeated was called Cyrus, and he also belonged to the same gang as this one. But in comparison, Cyrus was at a higher level than this young man. No matter the cultivation base or strength, this young man was no match for Cyrus. And given that Austin had already defeated Cyrus, this young man would only be kicked badly in the ass if he didn't stand back.
Silence fell.
Just as Austin began to threaten the young man again, claps sounded from the direction of the crowd and a voice followed.
"Not bad. I am impressed. It is amazing that you have cultivated this body-refining formula. Plus, with the help of that excellent bodily movement skill, you have indeed accomplished something that you could be proud of."
Both Austin and the young man looked for the source of the voice. A pallid and haggard man of about twenty was slowly advancing towards them.
As he walked towards them, the man intentionally released his vital energy and displayed his strength. He clearly had the cultivation base of the premium stage of the Earth Realm. As in such a high realm, the vital energy he released was so dense and powerful that it whirled around his legs, making it look like he was walking on thick clouds. Although his face was sallow, and his manner was defiant and contemptuous, his eyes looked resolute and decisive.
"He is Hasson, a principal disciple of the Peripatetic Sect," a voice in the crowd called out.
Although the words were spoken by a man who was at a distance, Austin's spiritual sense enabled him to hear them clearly.
Every disciple present marveled at Hasson's strength, but also looked at him with cautious eyes.
As to the strength, Hasson definitely ranked in the top ten among all the fighters that the Prince Reuben had recruited.
The crowd didn't have a good impression about Hasson's personality, but they didn't like Austin either. Seeing these two meet each other on the battlefield, they eagerly wished them to fight each other and entertain them. By now, they had all acknowledged that Austin had otherworldly body strength and an astounding speed. They knew that with the help of these two superior qualities, Austin could defeat any fighter of the medium stage of the Earth Realm.
But now, the situation was different. The person he was going to fight was not weak; he was at the same stage as Austin and to top it off, he was a principal disciple with amazing strength. No one could tell if Austin would succeed or not.
"You are a principal disciple of the Peripatetic Sect, right? What do you plan to do by coming up here? Do you also want to challenge me like the other fellow I just punched to death?" Austin mocked Hasson.
