The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1502

''We can talk about it later. How about I arrange a place for you to take rest first? I'll lead the way. Just follow me.''

Tyler started walking away the moment he finished speaking.

Moments later, they reached near a small mountain.

There were several cottages around it which were surrounded by thick vegetation and tall bamboos. A few ancient trees added more uniqueness and elegance to the cottages.

Although the place was not as luxuriant as the mansions, it gave Austin and Caroline a feeling of calmness. It seemed to be at peace and harmony with nature.

Both of them started liking the place the moment they reached there.

Each of them found a cottage to live in. The two cottages were, of course, adjacent to each other.

Desks and chairs, made of stone, were placed in front of the cottages. There were also teapots, cups and a bag of valuable tea.

Austin made three cups of tea. They sat there peacefully. He began to chat with Caroline and Tyler, who were also sitting around the table.

Tyler first began the conversation by sharing the basic information of the place with Austin and Caroline.

''This jade slip records the map, region names of the base and all the crucial matters you need to remember. You will find out all about this place after reading it.

If you have any other questions, you can directly contact me using the jade slip. It can also transmit your voices and spiritual sense."

Before Tyler left, he explained about the usage of the jade slip. Then he gave each of them a jade slip to use.

Filled with curiosity, Austin immediately sat on the stone chair, took out his jade slip and began to read it, using his spiritual sense.

First he read about the locations of the different regions of the Flame Holy Land. He came to know that the base has different regions for elders, principal disciples and common disciples. It also had special places which were used only for cultivation, competition and medicine refinement.

Besides, there were also many rules and crucial matters recorded in it.

Some of them drew Austin's attention instantly.

He was intrigued to know that all the disciples in the base had to participate in the formal competition held once a month. The result of it was taken as the benchmark of their power.

The ranks of all the warriors were updated every month, based on the results of the competition.

There were about five hundred disciples in the Flame Holy Land at present. These included a dozen principal disciples, about a hundred inner disciples and three hundred outer disciples.

After reading all the contents in the jade slip carefully, Austin was quite impressed.

He began to understand the implications hidden in the elder's words.

"Indeed, in a place where people exist and where competitions exist, the best way to make progress is to join the fiercest competition," Austin murmured to himself.

'The old man may be trying to remind me that I will face fierce competitions in the Flame Holy Land. Probably he wanted me to be aware that I will have to fight my way up. And it will not be as easy as it seems!' Austin was thoughtful as he analyzed what the elder had told him earlier.

By compelling all the disciples to participate in the monthly competition, an atmosphere of tension and motivation was successfully created. It also made them working towards their own development without being complacent.

And it was indeed the most effective way to boost the power and morale of the disciples.

In other words, it was also a kind of reward mechanism established to inspire the disciples to cultivate more assiduously.

"This is right up my street. From now on, I shall be more careful and cultivate diligently."

Austin made up his mind. He slowly put away his jade slip.

As night fell, the glistening moonlight came along with it. In Austin's sight were the lofty mountains which looked very dreamy and obscure. It made the whole base look like a wonderland.

The starlight reflected on Austin's eyes like resplendent diamonds.

'First of all, I need to prepare for the competition against Howard from the Vasteras Holy Land. He is already at the premium stage of Emperor Realm. It will not be easy for me to take him down.

Time is limited for me. I'll have to cultivate with all my strength in the following year. I have to defeat him by myself in the battle ring, '

Austin thought to himself under the sky radiating with moonlight and embellished by stars.

"Don't worry, Austin. I believe in you and I will always stand by your side."

It was Caroline. He didn't realize when she came out of her cottage. She sat close to Austin.
