The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 608

Austin had mastered several skills and weapons now. He could proficiently apply the Brutal Blast Fist, having refined the skill to the level of Major Achievement Stage. This enabled him to launch the powerful fist energy from over a long distance at his enemies and strike at them with a deadly precision. But his current effective range was only a radius of two hundred meters. However, once he could practice the Brutal Blast Fist to the highest degree within the Major Achievement Stage, he would be able to shatter anything within a radius of eight hundred meters into pieces with the prodigious force of the fist.

Austin had already noticed that the Brutal Blast Fist was especially useful in a surprise attack. He could effectively strike at his enemies in secret if he was able to launch an explosive assault while still a distance away from his target.

So he was determined to refine the Brutal Blast Fist to an even higher level, no matter how long it took him.

As for the Flame Swordsmanship, he had attained the second level, which meant he was able to condense two swords of vital energy from his own immense vital energy.

Cultivators practicing the Flame Swordsmanship could achieve three levels in total, with the third level being the highest and most desired one. At this level the practitioner was able to condense their vital energy and shape three swords. As each of these swords needed to be activated by a Spiritual Sword Aura, cultivators at the third Flame Swordsmanship level must create the third Spiritual Sword Aura for a third blade from vital energy within their Soul Sea.

According to the description in the Flame Swordsmanship Outline, once the third level was achieved and the third sword of vital energy was refined, all three these mighty blades could be arranged in a special order to form the Flame Sword Array.

Sword arraying was different from genuine swordsmanship, as it was a way to connect with sources of energy from within nature. Therefore, with the help of the sword array, its user was able to tap into all energies between heaven and earth to generate mighty powers. So there was no denying that the sword array was potentially much more powerful than swordsmanship.

Austin also dabbled in the knowledge of the Kirin Golden-body Scripture, and intended to practice it to fullest extent.

Among all the martial skills which he was practicing, Austin thought that the Kirin Golden-body Scripture was the most powerful one yet.

But it had also proved the most difficult one to practice and perfect.

Revising all the martial skills he possessed now, Austin decided to refine the easier ones first. Once all the comparatively easy martial skills had been refined to perfection, he would then be able to move on to improving the more difficult ones.

During all the following days, Austin completely engaged himself in exhaustive practice of the Brutal Blast Fist and the Flame Swordsmanship. He barely slept or ate, as he gave himself over fully to his craft.

After several days, he had gained obviously dramatic progress in the practice of the Brutal Blast Fist, as he was able to launch powerfully explosive energies with his fists over a range of four hundred meters now.

But refining the Flaming Swordsmanship proved more difficult, despite the fact that he had cultivated the third sword of vital energy in a relatively short period.

Since Austin possessed tremendously powerful vital energy in his body, he experienced no great difficulty in shaping the sword by condensing his vital energy.

The difficulty arose when he needed to cultivate the third Spiritual Sword Aura in his Soul Sea!

The so-called Spiritual Sword Aura was actually an ideological intention in a sword's shape. It was formed by refining a cultivator's swordsmanship skill and condensing the sword intent the cultivator had grasped or the sword potential the cultivator had possessed into his Soul Sea.

To condense the Spiritual Sword Aura in the Soul Sea, that relied greatly on the cultivated levels of swordsmanship which had been achieved.

However, in terms of swordsmanship cultivation, Austin had only reached the first level of sword potential. With this level, he had previously forged two Spiritual Sword Auras in his Soul Sea. If he wanted to condense the third Spiritual Sword Aura, then he would have to bolster his swordsmanship cultivation to an even higher level.

Austin had tried to forge the third Spiritual Sword Aura several times, but he had failed time and again. In frustration, he temporarily gave up practicing the Flame Swordsmanship.

He decided to attempt refinement of it once he had achieved a higher swordsmanship base in the future.

With the remaining days, he planned to refine some useful elixirs.

Austin had purchased many costly grade four elixirs before he left the imperial capital city.

His Soul Sea currently possessed the knowledge and experience for the refining of elixirs acquired by Angus throughout his long and illustrious life. So it was easy for him to recall any knowledge concerning the cultivation of an elixir, as long as that kind of elixir had been familiar to Angus' mind. Angus had done him such a favor in this, so that Austin didn't have to grope around in exploring the arts of elixir cultivation anymore.

As a result, Austin now found few difficulties in elixir cultivation. The only thing he needed to do was to practice the skill. Repeated practice would improve his skill and help him become much more experienced. As the time passed, he would definitely adapt himself into a capable elixir refiner and boost his elixir cultivation skill to a higher level.

The cave where Austin dwelt was quiet. It was a perfect place for reflection, cultivation, and training.

He was sitting cross-legged in the cave, meditating. The world around him was only an echo to which he paid no mind as he deepened his focus.

In front of him were placed the puce colored herbal pot and collections of various grade four elixirs.
