The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 73

After his return to Sun Sect, Austin lost himself in cultivation for several days.

He had progressed in his refinement to the third stage of the Wind-commanding Skill.

The first stage of this skill was called Feeling the Wind, while the second stage was called Knowing the Wind. These two steps were the fundamentals for later stages of this cultivation.

Austin understood that to acquire a good command of these necessary skills, he would have to cultivate for an extended period persistently.

Although he had started his cultivation at the third stage with the aid of the wind, it didn't mean that he could stop his refinement for Feeling the Wind and Knowing the Wind.

Instead, he had to make time to advance the cultivation of these two basic skills, because the extent to which he would be able to master the Wind-commanding Skill depended on how deeply he could comprehend wind, a unique form of energy in the universe.

Having taken advantage of the mighty power of his spiritual soul, Austin had cultivated the essential skills of Feeling the Wind and Knowing the Wind very well.

Hence, his cultivation progressed quickly when he started the third stage cultivation for Using the Wind.

Since he had practiced and pondered over this cultivation process for some days, Austin had vaguely understood certain knacks for Using the Wind.

In practicing this skill, he could move swiftly, like a ghost. Compared with his abilities before the practice, he now moved faster and far more flexibly.

Apart from the cultivation of the Wind-commanding Skill for Using the Wind, Austin had spent part of his time in cultivating the Golden Sun Scripture, because a cultivator's underlying strengths were reflected from his or her improvements in cultivation base of vital energy.

During his cultivation of the Golden Sun Scripture, Austin discovered another phenomenon.

He could absorb a great deal of vital energy from his surroundings every time he cultivated the Golden Sun Scripture.

The amount of vital energy that he acquired during this cultivation was much higher than what he could during his cultivation of the Purple Yang Formula.

Austin would have reached a far higher realm had he absorbed such an enormous amount of vital energy while cultivating the Purple Yang Formula.

Recently, the little spot near his belly had increased in size during his cultivation. In the meantime, he had accumulated a growing amount of vital energy. In spite of this, no sign showed that his vital energy was reaching a higher level. Now, his vital energy was still at the sixth-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Austin never expected that such a tremendous amount of vital energy was necessary to reach a higher realm when cultivating the Golden Sun Scripture.

He thought that he could have reached the seventh-level of the Energy Gathering Realm had he kept on practicing the Purple Yang Formula.

At this thought, he felt a little regretful.

However, Austin felt joyous that the life energy inside his body was growing stronger, although he had failed to reach a higher level in terms of vital energy.

He estimated that based on the growing energy inside his body, he would be able to confront opponents who had reached the seventh or perhaps even the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

One day, while Austin was reflecting on some obstacles that he had encountered in his cultivation process inside his little hut, he heard Evan's impatient call.

"Tin? Tin, are you here?"

Austin let him in without being offended as he could hear that Evan was impatient.

"Tin, I have reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm after consuming your earth spirit fruits."

As Evan blurted out these words, he appeared to be filled with great joy. Before he reached the third level, he had remained at the first-level of the Energy Gathering Realm for quite a long period. Now, after obtaining Austin's cultivation resources, he had immediately reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

It was really amazing to have crossed two levels over a month. However, this didn't show that Evan was gifted.

In actuality, Evan should have reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm in the past three or four years.

He had remained at the first-level of the Energy Gathering Realm without making any breakthrough because he lacked access to resources for his cultivation. Nevertheless, Evan spared much time and energy for refinement in spite of great hardships. Over the past three or four years, he had worked very hard on his cultivation.

Thus, he had laid a solid foundation for his cultivation. This time, he was lucky to have gotten some superior cultivation resources such as the Energy-boosting Elixir and the earth spirit fruits. As soon as he took advantage of these resources, the outcomes he had achieved through his persistent cultivation over the past years were suddenly brought into play. At last, he reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Austin was glad to see that Evan had advanced in his cultivation. After all, Evan was his best friend.

"Well, since you have reached the third-level of the Energy Gathering Realm, you can begin practicing the Raging Dragon Fist."

"Ah... I will think about that," Evan stammered as he felt hesitant.

After some contemplation, Austin understood why Evan had hesitated to cultivate that skill right away.

He realized that to practice the Raging Dragon Fist, it was necessary to buy a lot of magical medicines. And this skill couldn't be practiced without consuming these medicines.

However, Evan was only a grunt disciple. Every month, he only got a few vital energy crystals, which were just enough to support his daily life.

Hence, the magical medicines would be rather expensive for Evan, and he wouldn't be able to afford them.
