The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 840

Even after Austin sat down, Laird kept glaring at him viciously from time to time.

Laird was considered as a very good martial artist of the Master Realm, but despite that, he was beaten by Austin, a martial artist at the medium stage of Imperial Realm! That made him feel so ashamed and indignant.

Other martial artists who were waiting in the resting area all saw what just happened, and they also felt incredibly shocked.

Not even once during the fight between the two warriors

did Laird have the upper hand. Hell -- he even gave up the chance to continue provoking Austin! Not one soul in that area ever thought that this would happen.

Imagine -- martial artist, who was only at the medium stage of Imperial Realm, was able to make Laird, a warrior at the Master Realm who always had a short temper and was good at holding a grudge, back up and give up the fight! It surely meant something, not only to the two people who fought each other, but also to everyone who had witnessed their fight.

The ones who were so eager to see Austin lose to Laird now could only look down, or intensely glare at Austin.

Despite all eyes being on him, Austin acted like nothing had happened, silently sitting on his seat and drinking the tea.

He even had the time to pick up a spiritual fruit from the long table in front of him and eat it from time to time.

Well, after an intense battle, no one could blame him -- the spiritual tea and the spiritual fruit served were of very good quality, and all tasted incredibly nice.

Dozens of good-looking girls with fit bodies dressed in sexy robes would come up to him to pour tea into his cup and add more spiritual fruit at the table every now and again.

To be very honest, a large part of the martial artists who joined this recruitment were independent cultivators who were rude and crude.

As the sexy girls walked in front of them, they all looked at their chests and legs with hungry and lustful eyes. They didn't even try to hide how vulgar they were!

Some even whistled to the ladies in a way bordering on harassment.

A soldier would constantly bring a new martial artist to the resting area.

With that, the area soon enough became populated by numerous martial artists. . .

After about eight hours, recruitment through the battle ring finally ended.

The two officers who were running the recruitment, one of which looked like a civil official while the other looked like a general, walked into the resting area with the rest of the soldiers.

"Congratulations, everyone! You have successfully joined this royal task.

We can tell that you all are very good cultivators from the fights that just happened.

The royal family needs people like you to help us get through to this challenge."

The civil official's words inspired and encouraged everyone in the area. The martial artists all felt sudden pride and started getting excited for the journey.

Then, the general also gave a short but inspiring speech.

He praised the martial artists who successfully got through the recruitment stage, and earnestly asked them to put in more effort in finishing the future task.

After that, he gave every martial artist fifty superior vital energy crystals.

Then, he asked them all to be at the west yard of the imperial capital city five days later, and they would travel to the Middle World Waters together.

The fifty superior vital energy crystals made all the martial artists incredibly excited for the task and its eventual completion. "If they're giving us fifty of these even before the task begins," one crude warrior excitedly exclaimed, "then imagine what would be given to us after we finish this thing! Hooray!"

As a superior vital energy crystal was equal to a thousand ordinary vital energy crystals, so the amount that they had received meant a lot to them.

With this many crystals, they could have fun, from day to night and back again, in the imperial capital city for days.

After all the congratulatory messages and reminders, everyone left the resting area to look for a place to stay at for five days, as they waited for the task to begin. . .

Austin left the resting area and walked on the street. He asked a passerby for directions, and he happily went on his way.

With a strange aura of determination evident on his face, he went straight to an area where pills and elixirs were sold.

It was on the west side of the city, which housed an incredible amount of shops that sold pills and elixirs.

After a good look around the area, Austin walked into one of the shops, and bought a good amount of fifth-grade elixirs.

Aside from that, he also bought some sixth-grade elixirs and some seventh-grade elixirs.

He was meticulously preparing himself and his inventory for the Middle World Waters.

As the two officers confirmed to him, in the Middle World Waters, the sea beasts there were strong and powerful. The more elixirs he prepared, the better off he would be.

After buying the elixirs and the pills he needed, Austin strolled more around the district. He found many shops that sold weapons nearby.

Since he was cultivating the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, and he happened to need a good sword.

The best sword Austin had with him right now was merely a sacred weapon.

A sacred weapon, for Austin's level, was not that useful anymore.

So what he was aiming for now was a divine weapon.

With that in mind, he started looking for shops that were offering that.

Unfortunately, even after visiting various shops, he still hadn't found a sword that was suitable for his needs.

But then, comsidering that there were only a few very good divine weapons that were swords, it was somehow logical that he couldn't find one that he liked, both in nature and form.

For example, he had found a very good sword in a weapon shop named the Celestial Treasure Workshop. It was the Jade Goddess Sword, and it was a middle-grade divine weapon.
