The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 393

As the tournament was about to begin, more and more audience members had started talking excitedly about the contestants.

Not only the common people, but even the emperor, high-ranking officials and leaders of the five biggest sects were engaged in heated discussion.

"Your Highness, my disciple, Leo, has gained much fame in the imperial capital city. I bet he will be the winner of this game," the leader of Peripatetic Sect said as he bowed to the emperor.

"I see. As far as I observe, Leo reached the premium stage of Earth Realm. I even sensed the density of the vital energy force in his body. I think he is as good as the cultivators at the Mysterious Realm. He's really something," the emperor responded with a nod.

"Oh, I don't think so," the leader of Flaming Sun Valley cut in.

It was widely known that he held an intense grudge against the leader of Peripatetic Sect. He continued, "It's true that Leo is at a high vital energy level. But as far as I can see, he's after fame and money. I don't think he can focus on anything, let alone cultivating. If this doesn't change, he'll never win a high achievement.

While he may receive prestige from others, I think he'll soon be replaced by someone who is more powerful than him.

Arthur Han is from our sect. He is keen on cultivating and aspires to be the best of the best. He's also at the premium stage of Earth Realm and close to making a breakthrough into the Mysterious Realm. Perhaps he will reach the Mysterious Realm during this contest."

The leader of Peripatetic Sect snorted and replied sternly, "Who knows whether you're bragging or not. Leo deserves his reputation and has never pursued it.

On the contrary, while Arthur focuses on cultivating, I've heard that he also takes lots of elixirs to aid him. He gained his current cultivation base because of those pills and I don't think it's a wise way to cultivate. Too many elixirs might have side effects on him.

If his opponent is Leo, he will definitely lose!"

"Come on, dear courtiers, stop arguing with each other. The match has already begun!"

Running out of patience, the emperor waved his hand to stop their arguing.

The match was at the No. 63 battle ring and

Austin's opponent was Shawn Peng of Flaming Sun Valley, whose weapon was a sword.

Disciples from the Flaming Sun Valley all practiced a vital energy technique which produced a relatively masculine energy. The moment Shawn pulled out his sword from the sheath, it gave off the level 5 sword intent and lots of heat with the ability to burn everything in its path.

However, despite his masculine vital energy and level 5 sword intent, this man was unable to threaten Austin.

Facing Shawn, Austin remained composed, showing no fear. He simply stared at his opponent, waiting for him to make the first move.

"You're doomed, Austin!"

Shawn waved his sword to display the level 5 sword intent. Meanwhile, he gathered his vital energy. Moments later, the audience could feel the heat as fire burned fiercely around him. It was as if lava had flowed out after a volcanic eruption. Heat waves formed over his head instantly.

The sound of sizzling reverberated throughout the battle ring.

Strips of sword radiance enveloped by flame surrounded Shawn, and came at Austin as if lava were gushing out of the sword. The battle ring trembled. All the airflow evaporated abruptly and only burning fire could be seen.

But Shawn got flustered.

"What's going on? My sword intent is being controlled. How... How is this possible?" he murmured frantically. "Oh, wait. That brat must've given off a stronger sword intent than I did. He suppressed me with his sword intent. Does... does he have higher attainment in sword intent than I do?" he muttered to himself, rattled.

Austin stood motionless, releasing the level 7 sword intent silently. Suddenly an invisible sword aura formed a circle around him.

The flaming sword radiance Shawn had unleashed suddenly collided with the sword intent formed by Austin.
