Marvin believed that Austin's sword would stab him this time.
He was startled, and the violent vital energy emerged from his body. The light green light appeared on the surface of his body and formed a green vital energy shield.
It was a vital energy defensive method!
Looking at the momentum, Austin shrank in fear. It was challenging for a cultivator at the Energy Gathering Realm to cultivate this kind of method.
And such a martial skill was expensive. Even if ordinary outer disciples wanted to practice it, they didn't have enough contribution credits.
It was beyond his expectation that Marvin had practiced this skill. His strength couldn't be underestimated!
When Austin attacked Marvin with the long sword, he felt a strong, vital power pressure, and the power of his sword weakened.
It was difficult for him to stab. "Clang." The jade fan clashed with the long sword. The vital energy at the point of collision created an impact wave spreading that could be seen by the naked eye.
Austin felt as though a stronger power was leading the long sword in his hand. Fearful that the sword would be snatched from him, Austin panicked. The vital energy in his body flowed restlessly.
He hurried to take a step back and seized the chance to get rid of the anti-shock force. A blood streak appeared on his purlicue because of the shock.
Austin smiled bitterly. Although he was at the fifth level of the Energy Gathering Realm, his strength was barely presentable.
Eh...
The scene astonished everyone.
This guy really had a thing or two. All people, including Marvin, became serious.
Others also saw something unusual.
A grunt disciple could not only dodge easily but also hit back under the violent attack of a powerful outer disciple.
At least it proved that this grunt disciple was not as weak as they had imagined.
Lara bit her lip as she couldn't believe what she had seen.
"You surprise me with your skills. You can dodge quickly. But you are not qualified to show off in front of me."
Seeing that Austin was more capable than he had thought, Marvin became more cautious. He spoke with Austin in a cold tone.
In the next instant, the vital power emerging from his body became twice as strong.
Everyone's expression changed when they realized that until now, Marvin hadn't been using all his strength.
"Hold on. Let this guy join our Evil Ape Hunting Team. He is eligible. His body and movements show potential, and he has excellent swordsmanship. He can help restrain the evil apes to some extent. Whatever the issue between you two, it can be solved at a later stage. We don't have much time."
Ralf spoke before gazing at the other members of the Evil Ape Hunting Team.
After thinking for a while, Mindy, William, and George nodded. After all, they had seen Austin's performance and agreed to Ralf's decision.
Marvin was astounded when he saw the other four agreeing with Ralf. On some level, Marvin knew that what Ralf had said made sense. If Austin joined them, he could suppress the evil apes with his bodily movement, since Marvin couldn't even get close to him. Austin would be a worthy addition to the team. With his skill, they would have a higher chance of hunting the evil apes.
Obviously, Ralf and the others had also thought the same.
At this time, it was unwise of him to insist on solving their personal problem. If Marvin chose to stay and battle with Austin, it would hurt their chances of grabbing the earth spirit fruit.
On the other hand, if he could acquire some earth spirit fruit, Marvin would have more confidence to stay secluded and promote his level later. This would be beneficial to him, as he would be able to reach the Earth Realm soon.
At this thought, Marvin controlled his anger. He could see that listening to Ralf would be advantageous.
"OK. Since everybody thinks so, I agree. We will solve our problem at a later time."
