The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 83

Weaver felt a moment of panic when he faced Austin's violent attack, but he quickly regained his arrogance when he learned that Austin was only at the sixth-level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

He readied his fist and swung at Austin's fist with all his strength. He had expected to defeat Austin with his attack.

"Crack!"

Their fists traveled the short distance between the two men and met in the air.

To Weaver's surprise, he felt like he was punching solid stone. Several of Weaver's fingers fractured because of the strong energy wave.

As a sharp pain radiated from his arm, Weaver's face contorted.

He lost his balance and was knocked back a few steps.

Weaver shook his head in disbelief and wondered, 'Is he really at the sixth-level of the Energy Gathering Realm? How is it possible that his vital energy is stronger than mine?'

Before he could recover, Austin rushed toward him with an angry cry.

"Check this out!"

With that, he swung his fist and aimed at Weaver again.

"Wait! You..."

Angry and scared, Weaver didn't have the time to pull out his weapon. He had no other choice but to wield his fist in defense again.

"Crack!"

The sound of breaking bones filled the air. In the next instant, Weaver's arm twisted in a strange position.

Weaver's face paled when he felt overwhelming pain. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Get out of my face!"

After venting his anger, Austin commanded in a cold voice.

Despite his resentment, Weaver understood that it was impossible for him to fight today.

Even though he was at the seventh-level of the Energy Gathering Realm, he lost to Austin in just two rounds.

Raymond's other followers had lower refining levels. None of them would be able to defeat Austin.

Since Raymond was still unconscious, they lifted him and left the alley with their heads hung in shame.

Before Weaver turned to leave, he glared at Austin with hatred.

"You son of a bitch! You'll regret this!" he said viciously.

Denali stood aside and watched Austin as he defeated the men.

She was pleased to see Raymond pay for his impudence, yet she was worried about the aftermath.

"Austin, maybe you shouldn't have acted out against them. That young man might be an important figure," she said with concern.

"Maybe you're right. But what would have happened if I didn't? Do you think that they would let us go unharmed?"

Austin replied flatly as he shot Denali a calm glance.

Denali fell silent. She understood that Austin was right. Raymond had ordered her to go with him and had threatened to break Austin's and Evan's legs. It was Raymond who had forced Austin to fight back.

"In the world of martial arts, nobody will show mercy when you make concessions. On the contrary, the weaker you act in front of others, the more you'll get bullied. Only by getting stronger can you gain people's respect and have the right to speak for yourself."

After finishing those words, Austin turned and walked toward the Lotus Tavern with Evan, leaving Denali dumbfounded behind them.

She stared at Austin's back and thought, 'He's right. Maybe I should learn to be tougher.'

By the time she snapped out of her trance, Denali found that Austin was already very far away. He showed no intention of waiting for her. She pouted as she thought, 'You don't have to be so distant even though you're smarter than me!'

She then trotted off and quickly caught up with the two men.

After entering the Lotus Tavern, they picked a table and settled down. Austin looked over the menu and felt worried—even the cheapest dish would cost him 300 vital energy crystals!

Most of the dishes used the meat of edible beasts as their ingredients and supplemented them with fresh herbs. This kind of food was both beneficial to the martial cultivators' physical fitness and helpful in their martial refinement.

Of course, they were no less delicious than ordinary dishes.

But due to their high cost, most people could barely enjoy them.

Finally, they had a sumptuous meal, which cost over 3000 vital energy crystals. Austin felt his heart break when he paid the bill.

Evan was reluctant when they left the tavern. On their way back, he kept asking Austin when they would eat at the Lotus Tavern again.

Four hours later, in a VIP room of an upscale inn in Peace Town.

A young man reclined in bed. Two girls in revealing outfits applied ointment to his injured nose with great caution.

Moaning with pain from time to time, the man kept scolding and complaining with resentment.

He was Raymond, the foolish man who had been punched on the nose by Austin earlier that day.

After a while, Weaver pushed open the door and walked up to the bed.

"Young Master Raymond, I've discovered the identity of the three bastards. They were grunt disciples of Sun Sect, but they were promoted to outer disciples today."

"What? Grunt disciples? Are you sure? How is it possible that the lowly pleb who dared to hurt me is a grunt disciple? There must be some mistake!"
