The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Fine. You've had your chance, but now it looks like I'll have to beat you right out of this battle ring. No more games,"

declared the young man, who was at the medium stage of Semi-emperor Realm. Austin shrugged and planted his feet apart,

preparing for a fight. Anger bubbled through him like lava in a volcano when he saw that Austin had taken his threat lightly.

Powerful vital energy force surged through him and burst from his body.

The wave that the vital energy force had caused swept violently towards Austin. Having cfrom a Semi-emperor Realm warrior,

the wave was more powerful than anything he could possess. Austin took one step backwards, watching as the force rushed

towards him like a tornado, wreaking havoc on the battle ring. Before he could move, the waves were closing in on him.

After he had managed to block Austin's vision, the young man lifted one of his arms slowly. Through the hurtling waves, Austin

noticed that streams of dazzling, white light were flooding onto the young man's arm and spinning quickly around his skin.

The light curled together and grew brighter as it began to transform. Austin blinked, and by the the opened his eyes, a white,

gigantic python had risen from the young man's arm and rushed upwards into the air. The beast had three heads and each of their

jaws were snapping with dozens of gleaming, knife-like teeth. The three of them whipped their heads around, clearly disoriented as

they searched for their prey. Their huge, black eyes and their bright, red tongues darted out, smelling the air for Austin.

The crowd gasped in awe as the young man laughed out loud. Austin could not move, partly out of fear and partly out of

amazement. It was clear that the young man had transformed the white light on his arm into a beast soul of a three-head, white

python, something else Austin was not capable of doing. The fearscreature uncoiled and raised itself so that it was looming

over Austin. He recoiled as its bright and poisonous tail thrashed. Behind it, the young man's twisted smile was widening again.

Howl!

As the beast gave a terrible roar, it lunged towards Austin and snapped its jaws, narrowly missing him. He jumped out of the way

and stopped to look back up at it. It was clearly enraged as it turned and its three heads parted to attack Austin from three

different directions, this time, more fiercely and at a lightning speed. His head whipped around as he tried to find a way out. The

battle ring surrounded him on all sides, trapping him.

Austin closed his eyes and forced his mind to think of a way to defeat the snakes. With a deep breath, he activated the level six

sword domain which caused small sword auras to spread widely throughout the battle ring. Moving his hands, Austin intertwined

the auras and formed a formidable sword domain. It was his turn to smile.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Numerous sword auras shot out from the domain and sliced through the python's body, which was as thick as an oak trunk. Its

three heads began to weave drunkenly in the air as it tried to see where the attacks were coming from. Its actions slowed down

and it becstill. Suddenly, in agony, it swept its huge tail across the battle ring, making the ring shake. Austin increased the

speed of the swords and the more the beast struggled, the more cuts the sword auras left on its scaly body. Finally, it swayed,

confused, and started to fall.

"Well, well. I've never seen the level six sword domain in action before. I'm quite impressed.

But keep in mind that this is merely the warm up. I've got plenty more up my sleeve,"

the young man spat. He rolled his eyes and since Austin had proved that the white python was no match for him, the young man

waved his arm and pulled the creature in before it could hit the ground.

Whoosh!

The young man raised his hand high above his head and conjured a halberd with a flash of blue. His palm held it as his fingers

wrapped around the handle. Austin's eyes grew wide. That weapon was a primeval magic treasure!

As the halberd's outline becclearer, a small, blue cyclone began to radiate from it and surrounded the young man. This

cyclone contained wind that was so strong that it was visible to the eye. Blue lightning shot out from it in short bursts.

The crowd and Austin watched silently as the halberd's power continued to expand, absorbing currents of air into its point. Wind

was sucked into the battle ring, but it was not regular wind. In fact, this wind was made up of the powerful spiritual energy of

heaven and earth. Austin raised his hands to clutch his head, however, the wind ripped them away and back to his sides.

Within seconds, the halberd had nearly reached its full potential. Each gust of wind it released pounded against Austin, knocking

the air from his own chest. The halberd was now two times larger than it had been, meaning it had leveled up to pass any ordinary,

high-grade primeval magic one.

"Go to hell!"

roared the young man as he stepped towards Austin. At his words, sof the mysterious, ancient runes that rested on the

halberd shone so brightly that they penetrated through the blue light and blinded Austin. When Austin blinked, trying to see the

shocking scene more clearly, he found that the weapon was morphing into a dragon. Breaking through the wind, the dragon

screeched and flew at him. A huge shadow covered the battle ring as it spread its wings and wrapped Austin up, attacking all his

weakest spots. Austin cried out in pain.

Through his pain, Austin searched for the young man. He was standing at the other end of the battle ring with his arms crossed

over his chest. He looked smug while the dragon continued to defeat Austin. This strike from him was fierce and merciless. It

seemed that the young man had gone all out, wanting to finish Austin as soon as possible.

The young man did not respect Austin, that much was clear. However, since his first attempt with the snakes had failed, he had

realized that he could not underestimate him. So, when he had launched his second attack, he had used his best power. He had

been saving the best for last even though he was aware he should be careful. Austin had made it to the final round. Out of three

thousand contestants, he had cout on top. He was skilled, but he did not possess a halberd.

Even when fighting a weak enemy, it was wise to use the most powerful weapons to ensure his defeat. Besides, there was too

much importance riding on the battle. It could be the decider of their whole future.

Austin's limbs jerked and swung, but he could not fend off the attacks long enough to find a way to defend himself. Austin's face

darkened as he met the eyes of the dragon that was about to sweep towards him again.

There was no doubt in Austin's mind that the halberd was one of the most powerful weapons he had ever encountered. Not only

did it produce a massive dragon, but it also made the user stronger.

Doom filled Austin as he realized the young man's strength had surpassed that of any ordinary warrior at the premium stage of

Semi-emperor Realm.

And the halberd skill he was displaying now was of the strongest martial arts. Clenching his fists, Austin decided he had to act or

he would be defeated within minutes.
