The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 56

If one were to see things from the monkey's point of view, Austin was only at level six of Energy Gathering Realm with a weak spiritual soul, so it should have been a childish affair to take over his body. Forget about taking over his body, even defeating him should have been as easy as pie.

If it could eliminate Austin's spiritual sense, it would become the new owner of his body. With a brand new healthy body, it could start anew in its cultivation path and soon perhaps could return to the Grand Desolation Mountain and take its revenge one day.

However, it realized that it was gravely at a disadvantage when fighting with Austin's soul. To its surprise, the soul of this mere mortal was much stronger than its own. Perhaps this was because it had lost most of its former power and had been forced into Earth Realm.

Its disadvantage was noticed by Austin as well and he thought that revenge this time, would be best served hot!

Now, he could punish the little bastard for eating his vital energy. Sneering, he chided it, "Aha! Where's your confidence now?

You were quite confident just a while ago. Was it all just banter? Can you do anything but show off and exaggerate? Didn't you just say that you can easily kill thousands of martial cultivators like me?"

It took just a short while to tip the scale completely in Austin's favour. Pinning the monkey down as the fight fell into his dominion, he punched it furiously in the face multiple times.

The violent attack it had sustained had weakened the power of the monkey's soul quickly, and pretty soon, it was in extremely low spirits.

"Try to kill me like you said just now! Didn't you say you could do that without striking a blow? Oh wait! With just a breath! Would you like to blow some air now?"

Austin teased as he continued with his beating.

He had been scared to death when this monkey had suddenly appeared in his Elixir Field, so he was giving full vent to his grudges now that he was in dominion.

Finally giving up to Austin, the monkey suddenly shouted out with resentment.

"No! This is impossible! You are very low in your refining level, but your spiritual sense is as strong as those in the Mysterious Realm. I can't believe it!

I'm the Immortal Monkey King! I can't lose to a weak human scum like you!"

With one burst of what little energy that remained inside it, the monkey struggled and pushed Austin's soul away. The latter lost his balance and fell headlong.

After it had managed to free itself, the monkey quickly jumped into a corner and tried to gather its strength.

'Maybe I could try my Spiritual Sense Flying Needle.'

An idea appeared in Austin's mind. He controlled his spiritual power and produced a flying needle which shot towards the monkey at an extremely high speed.

The monkey was shocked to see Austin's new attack. It had never expected that Austin would not only possess a strong soul but would also have a grasp of spiritual-sense martial skills.

It decided to fight this fire with fire. A flying knife appeared in front of the monkey and collided with the flying needle.

The monkey had been a mighty creature before it had lost its power, so it was no surprise that it could also employ spiritual-sense martial skills.

However, its skill could no longer achieve the same effect as in the past. The flying knife it had produced was knocked aside after it hit the flying needle, while the latter kept flying on its track for some distance before it vanished completely. Obviously, Austin was the one who had prevailed in this round.

He sat down in the lotus position and shot out another flying needle.

The monkey had no other choice but to repeat its previous counterattack, but the flying knife it produced looked visually weaker this time.

The monkey's soul had received a brutal beating from Austin, and it was almost at the end of its strengths.

After a few rounds of this same game, which felt like an eternity to the monkey, it finally ran out of its power and could no longer produce any defense against Austin's attack.

Choosing hopeless flight over a hopeless fight, it ran around in Austin's Soul Sea, all the while chased by a flying needle. It tried to escape several times, only to be forced back by the flying needle appearing in front of it and forcing it to change direction.

After the needle had poked him multiple times, the monkey's soul became pallid and was left with very little vitality, not even enough to let him run.

"Stop! I'm the Immortal Monkey King! Please don't kill me!"

The monkey begged for mercy. Its arrogance had yielded in the face of life-and-death danger.

"The Immortal Monkey King? Oh, is that supposed to impress me? You've irritated me instead! And I kill anyone who dares to trouble me no matter who he or she is!"

Austin sneered, showing no intention of making any concessions.

"If you let me go, I'll give you everything you want after I regain my strength. Wealth, power, a higher social standing... You can't imagine how much you will get in return! Can't we strike a bargain?"

The monkey suggested in a grovelling tone.

The flying needle hovering in front of its face would have stabbed it at any time, putting it under great pressure; its soul could not have taken any more pokes or stabs.

"After you regain your strength, huh? Will you really have to keep your promise at that moment?
