The Brutal Blast Fist consisted of eight different fist forces and during its cultivation, Austin spent more time on the first one, the tearing force.
After successfully completing the cultivation of the same, he got a deep understanding about the Brutal Blast Fist. What's more, he was also in prime physical condition which was critical for cultivating fist skills. Therefore, now he felt much easier as he went on to cultivate the remaining fist forces.
It took him about half a month to cultivate them successfully, but Austin was able to finish most of the steps of this skill.
Yet another step remained which allowed a cultivator to unite the eight fist forces into one and produce an explosive power. Austin hadn't succeeded in mastering this step yet.
But he believed that if he practiced harder, he would be able to master that very soon too.
There were several skills on his agenda right now, which meant he couldn't spend his entire time on the same skill. After the Brutal Blast Fist, Austin began to shift his attention towards a spiritual sense skill called Demon-creating Skill.
Once mastered, this skill would allow a cultivator to morph a demon out of nowhere into his opponent's Soul Sea. The demon would then swallow the opponent's spiritual sense power and spiritual souls.
It was a very mysterious skill and, several levels higher than the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, which was much more powerful.
Such spiritual sense skills were rarely seen these days. However, several hundred years or even almost a thousand years ago, when the Flame Emperor was alive, these skills would have been more common.
After a month of intensive, yet boring practice in the cultivation room, Austin finally succeeded in the cultivation of this powerful skill, allowing him to add one more spiritual sense skill to his repertoire in addition to the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle.
Now, he shifted his attention towards the cultivation of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, which included seven steps. Each step allowed the cultivator to morph parts of his body into a lion claw, a dragon head, a deer horn, a tiger back, a bear waist, a snake scale, and a leopard tail. Austin examined these steps thoroughly.
Then he began to practice the first step, Lion Claw.
After practicing for some time, Austin had a feeling that among the three grade seven martial arts skills he had picked up, the Kirin Golden-body Scripture was the most powerful and also the most difficult.
He knew that with increasing power, cultivation time also increased, and therefore, he had to be patient.
It took him about half a month but after that, Austin could morph his hands into a pair of lion claws. They were actually Kirin's claws, but were shaped like a lion's. What's more, they were also several times stronger than a lion's claw.
By the time he had finished the first step of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, he had spent a whole two months inside the cultivation room.
In these two months, he had finished the cultivation of Demon-creating Skill, all the steps of the Brutal Blast Fist except for the last one, as well as the first step of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, Lion Claw.
Since he had mastered one of the trio completely and had also learnt parts of the other two, Austin decided to leave the cultivation room now.
The moment he came out, Mike told him that Reuben, the youngest prince, had been here a dozen times in the last two months, looking for him.
In the last two months, the most sensational piece of news in the imperial capital city was that the emperor himself had decreed that his youngest son, Reuben, would become the crown prince, and, later on, the emperor's successor.
Austin wasn't surprised, since he had given the soul-recovering fruits he had picked up from the Mysterious Nether World to the Prince Reuben himself.
But to his surprise, following his suit, Evan and Herbert had also locked themselves in their own cultivation rooms for practice and hadn't left.
Austin was amused, but felt satisfied as well. If Evan and Herbert could become more powerful and not need his protection anymore, it would be in both of their interests, and he would be very happy for them.
While Austin was chatting with Mike in the palace hall, a servant ran over and told him that Prince Reuben was waiting for him outside.
'It seems that Reuben is a grateful person. As the crown prince, he is the second most powerful person in the Violet Orchid Empire now. However, he still came to visit me so many times. I'm really flattered, ' Austin thought.
'Claw me and I'll claw thee' was Austin's principle of life.
He immediately asked the servant to invite the Prince in without delay.
"Hahaha! Austin, you have been in the cultivation room for two months now. I missed you so much!
You are obsessed with cultivation. It's no wonder that you have made such great achievements at such a young age."
Reuben, the youngest prince, uttered these words before he had fully entered the hall with several of his bodyguards. .
"Haha! Prince Reuben, you flatter me! Congratulations on becoming the crown prince!"
Austin replied with a smile.
"Austin, I know that without you, I wouldn't have won the competition for the throne.
When I'm on the throne in the future, I will appoint you as the Lord Protector General to help me rule the Violet Orchid Empire," Reuben said seriously.
"Oh?
You'll let me be the Lord Protector General?"
Austin was a little surprised.
'What does Reuben want from me?' he wondered.
In fact, in addition to his gratitude towards Austin for helping him win the throne, Reuben also had another reason for promising Austin such a prestigious post.
That was Austin's extremely high cultivation base. The prince knew that Austin had reached the Sky Realm already.
This was almost the highest cultivation level in the whole Violet Orchid Empire.
Besides, Austin was not even twenty yet. How incredible it was that a cultivator could reach such a high level at such a young age!
