The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 31

Seeing the overwhelming confidence of Matias, Austin sneered and ridiculed, "Is that so? You seem so confident."

"There's only one way to find out. Let's try, shall we?"

Matias responded solemnly. It seemed that he started to consider Austin as an equal adversary.

The audience was hoping to see the two fight to find out who was the strongest.

"To tell you frankly, I am looking forward to our match. It's been quite a while since the last time I competed with a strong opponent like you," declared Matias again. He glared at Austin with soaring fighting spirit as he clenched his fists.

However, Austin appeared to be unusually calm. He stood firm with his hands behind his back, devoid of any dismay.

Not a single sign of anger or agitation could be seen in Austin as if fighting Matias was something he wasn't worried about.

When Matias sensed that Austin wasn't interested in fighting him, his facial expression had changed.

He then said coldly, "But first, I'll teach you what respect is and the price you should pay for your arrogance!"

With that said, he directed his powers to his clenched fist and prepared to launch an attack.

"Stop!"

When Matias was about to attack, a thundering sound came.

Everyone in the area immediately felt a strong presence so overwhelming that they could hardly breathe. Whoever it was, his strength appalled everyone.

'To have this strong presence, he must be a powerful warrior at Earth Realm.

There's no doubt about it! Only those who are at least at that realm could have that level of strength!'

Austin thought to himself.

Suddenly, a floating figure appeared in the sky. He glanced around with his sharp and angry eyes, and all disciples lowered their heads to avoid his gaze. Everyone was quiet and careful not to make any unnecessary noise.

The man was no other than Steward Lu!

The grunt disciples immediately recognized him as soon as he appeared from the sky.

Steward Lu was in charge of the personnel matters in the sect, particularly managing the grunt disciples. But he kept a low profile and rarely appeared before the grunt disciples.

"The promotion selection contest will be held two months from now. The winner of the said contest will be promoted to an outer disciple. But before then, any duel, regardless of the reason, is forbidden. Any disciple who will disobey will immediately be expelled!"

After his announcement, he glanced over the crowd as if threatening anyone who dared to oppose.

He then stared at Austin, Matias, and the latter's followers for a while before he turned his gaze away.

It was obvious that the conflicts between his grunt disciples were of no interest to him.

There were also a dozen injured people, but Steward Lu didn't bother to ask.

Becoming a steward wasn't easy for Steward Lu. Before he became a steward in the sect, he had gone through many challenges. He had overcome the difficulty in entering the Earth Realm until his cultivation was stabilized.
