The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 65

Nevertheless, having known the reason, Austin felt a certain degree of excitement of finding such a precious treasure here.

He had now known that this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill had two weaknesses; one was the powerful, significant spiritual sense that it required from the cultivator, and the other was the enormous amount of vital energy it would consume during the process of cultivation. It was said that at least 70% of the vital energy of a cultivator was needed, which was an extremely high amount that an ordinary disciple would never dare to lose.

To Austin, however, the weaknesses could be advantageous for he already had a powerful spiritual sense. This was a requirement for the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill cultivation. The vital energy stone in the elixir field that he had previously obtained could be used to replenish his vital energy during cultivation. And so, he didn't need to worry about how much vital energy was being consumed.

Therefore, this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill seemed to have been made especially for him. The idea of trying it out appealed to Austin.

Apart from the fact that it was a grade four martial arts skill, the destructive force that it demonstrated was also pretty tempting.

Till now, Austin hadn't been able to acquire a relatively strong and aggressive martial arts skill.

When practicing at Beast Mountain, he had used his Cloud Swordsmanship to eliminate the diabolic beasts that he had encountered.

If by any chance, he could cultivate this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, he would at least earn a decent weapon. And right now, Austin seemed to have obtained the necessary knowledge and resources that the cultivation required.

"I will choose this Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill," Austin said to the old man in charge.

"After what I told you, you still want it?" cried the man in surprise.

He had thought that after his long speech and his lengthy introduction to the disadvantages of the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, no one would dare to select it. It was beyond his expectation that Austin would be stubborn enough to pick it.

"Yes, I do. Since it is considered to be the most potent weapon that is being displayed here, I am attracted to it and wish to have it. And besides, as it is placed on the first floor, I am entitled to take it although it is a grade four martial arts skill. I think that it will be beneficial for my practice. So would you please grant it to me?"

implored Austin reverently, lest the man should refuse him.

"Are you certain that you won't regret it?"

asked the old man, still doubting whether Austin had heard his warning or not.

"I am sure that I won't regret choosing it. So would you please agree with my request?" pursued Austin, smiling meekly.

"If you so insist, then I have no other option but to give it to you."

The old man agreed at last although he still shook his head. In his view, the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill would only do Austin more harm than good. Choosing it would literally mean inviting trouble.

But then, thinking about it from Austin's perspective, being attracted by such a powerful weapon and wanting to challenge it was also a reasonable explanation. Just because it was dangerous didn't mean that Austin couldn't conquer it. It would be a waste if the old man kept it here for caution's sake. Eventually, someone would have to try it.
