The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 403

In the third round of the competition, Austin was pitted in front of a young lady who was holding a harp in her arms. She looked very graceful and well-bred from her manners.

"You don't have to greet me so politely. I'm your foe, not your friend."

Austin cleared his throat and told her. He was a little uneasy after seeing the gracious way in which the woman had greeted him.

"That doesn't matter. I was born in a rich, noble family, and I have learned the etiquette that a woman should possess from a very young age. I am used to it now.

To be frank, even outside the battle ring, we will still be enemies. Because Raymond of the Flaming Sun Valley is my cousin," the woman replied. Her name was Carolyn, and she was here to take revenge for her cousin, Raymond.

'Oh? Raymond is her cousin? Since I killed her cousin, it's no wonder she said that we would be enemies even outside the battle ring. Right. So, the etiquette she showed me just now was out of habit and not out of respect for me. Heck! I was almost taken in by her manners! Since Raymond is her cousin, she is sure to be trying to kill me, ' Austin thought.

"I'm ready. Let's start! Remember Austin. I won't pull my punches!" Carolyn warned him.

She flicked her hand, and then the harp hung itself in front of her automatically. She plucked the strings hard and quickly with her slender fingers.

"Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!". .

Each time she plucked the string, a visible note formed and rushed out from it. It was as if the sound coming was not only audible, but also visible.

Soon, several hundred hammer-shaped tones had formed and rose into the air, carrying an overwhelming momentum with them. They seemed to be following a specific order.

"Nine-lion Magical Sound Array!"

Carolyn shouted, and the notes changed form and morphed into nine lions. They rushed toward Austin with tremendous roars.

"Wow!

That's amazing!"

The crowd whooped. They were shocked that the young woman was able to produce powerful lions just by playing the harp and then have them form a magic array.

Most spectators hadn't seen such skill before, so they were both surprised and excited now.

The lions that had morphed out of the notes surrounded Austin instantly and

started to roar furiously. Very soon, nine circles of a golden shade appeared with brilliant light around him.

After a short moment, those rings exploded simultaneously with large bangs and enormous power. Meanwhile, the lions kept on roaring.

The buzz of conversation rose to a frenzy in the audience stand.

"That array is so powerful! I am pretty sure it won't have a problem in destroying the whole battle ring itself. And although Austin has performed well in the previous two rounds, he might be eliminated in this round. His opponent is so powerful. It's a pity you know...! If he hadn't met this woman, he was more than capable enough to land a place among the top 50."

"It's unbelievable that the woman's attacks are so furious! She is unknown in the Violet Orchid Empire, and she seems so gentle, polite and harmless. I didn't expect her attack to be so violent and merciless!". . . ...

Inside the battle ring, Austin was staring at the nine lions which had surrounded him.

'Although these lions were formed from musical notes, I am 200% sure that without any vital energy skills, that couldn't have happened. The woman has just attached her vital energy to the sound wave and formed the nine lions.

The note array is wonderful, because the nine lions will attack from nine different positions. Each lion seems to be conscious, and the best part about that array is that all of them are powerful enough to release a vital energy force that equals a cultivator at the medium stage of the Earth Realm. That means that these lions are as powerful as nine such cultivators. Blimey! I would have been afraid!

Now, it seems that the woman is only at the premium stage of the Earth Realm, so it wouldn't have been easy to transform those notes into nine lions. Especially, at her current realm, such powerful lions should have been impossible, so she really is very capable!'

Austin estimated the note array quickly in his mind.

Although the power of the nine lions was equal to nine cultivators who had reached the medium stage of the Earth Realm, they weren't going to be able to hurt Austin physically too much. Because he had already reached stage five of the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
