Being a zealous and well-prepared martial arts cultivator, Austin was about to start his training.
However, a loud voice echoed across Beast Mountain.
"I am Theon from Sun Sect. Unusual phenomena have been reported in the Grand Desolation Mountain. All outer disciples from Sun Sect are required to leave the mountain as quickly as possible and return to headquarters. Any outer disciple who violates this direct order will be expelled from Sun Sect."
Theon?
The name sounded familiar to Austin, but he couldn't quite remember the person.
All outer disciples who were practicing martial arts in the Beast Mountain knew the name.
"Theon, the Sect Leader, has come here," somebody whispered.
Theon was the leader of Sun Sect. He controlled everything and was respected by all the disciples.
As the words were said, a distinguished, middle-aged man glided overhead. He radiated a commanding aura as he stood on a white disc that glimmered in the light as it flew past.
The expression on the faces of the outer disciples that had caught a glimpse of Theon conveyed the awe they felt for him.
He was admired and respected by both, inner and outer disciples, as well as cultivators and ordinary people.
It seemed that the battle occurring on Grand Desolation Mountain had drawn the attention of high level cultivators. It must be significant enough for the leader of Sun Sect to investigate it personally.
Long after Sect Leader Theon had flown past, the disciples were still gaping in his direction. They had the rare opportunity to see their Sect Leader, and each disciple was filled with a sense of admiration.
They wondered if and when would they acquire abilities equivalent to their Sect Leader's. Perhaps they would never achieve such a high level.
Their Sect Leader's orders couldn't be defied.
On top of that, Sect Leader was flying overhead, supervising the retreat.
Within an hour, all disciples of Sun Sect had left the mountain.
To display their capabilities before Theon, the disciples used their best skills when withdrawing from the mountain.
Austin followed orders as well. He used his martial arts to leave Beast Mountain.
However, to hide from Marvin, Austin had gone deep into the mountain to practice.
Since ordinary disciples weren't capable of protecting themselves from second-grade diabolic beasts, they couldn't risk going deep into the mountain. Austin was different. He could afford to venture into the mountain.
When it was time to leave, Austin was further away than the other disciples. Hence, he fell behind and couldn't catch up with them.
He used the Wind-commanding Skill to move forward as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, a red light appeared.
It was headed straight for Austin!
He hadn't been expecting such a thing and hence, found the situation to be strange and a bit terrifying.
Austin became anxious as the red light closed in on him. At the last minute, he managed to move aside and avoid it.
However, the red light was quicker than Austin.
"Bang!" The red light hit his body.
In the second before impact, Austin was able to summon his vital energy to protect the vital and vulnerable parts of his body.
Austin had expected some injuries after the collision.
However, the red light hit his body and disappeared.
It was strange that he felt nothing—no pain, no itching, nothing.
Austin examined his body. He even pulled off his trousers and looked at his penis. But he couldn't see any injuries on his body.
What the hell was this red light? Was he just hallucinating?
Had he been hurt by this light?
Austin was both, shocked and scared.
Although Austin wanted to stay and figure out this mystery, he knew he would get into trouble if he didn't hasten to leave the mountain. And so, he summoned the Wind-commanding Skill a second time and continued on his journey.
Austin knew that his speed had increased as he had now reached the sixth-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.
Half a day after he left Beast Mountain, Austin finally arrived at his shabby cottage located at the foot of Sun Sect.
Austin had been practicing martial arts in Beast Mountain for a dozen days before Theon asked the outer disciples to leave.
Earlier, Austin had intended to leave the mountain only when the competition for grunt disciples started. He knew it was a month and a half away, and Austin had wanted to use the entire duration to ensure that his cultivation base got stronger.
