The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 78

Outside the Training Field...

With orbs clutched in their hands, several stewards in charge sensed what was happening in the Training Field.

One of them said," Two more disciples have reached the fifty-meter line."

"The speed at which they performed is quite impressive," another one remarked. "It seems there are several talented grunt disciples in this batch," he added.

Suddenly, one steward saw something unusual. "Something's wrong. Why is that disciple walking back? He was the first to reach the fifty-meter line. He has only reached a distance of fifty-three or fifty-four meters. Why is he giving up?"

Someone agreed with him. "Right. Judging from his performance just now, I think he can walk a distance of at least sixty meters."

All the stewards shook their heads in pity.

Based on his earlier performance, they thought Austin would further surprise them and make this promotion test of grunt disciples different from all others.

No one expected the young disciple to walk back after reaching fifty-three or fifty-four meters.

"Is he not aware that if he wants to give up, all he needs to do is throw the token and leave either side of the corridor?

This guy may have a good cultivation base, but he doesn't appear to be thinking clearly," one steward sighed in disappointment.

His fellow stewards shared his sentiment.

They continued to watch the field. Then almost at the same time, many of them felt something was not right.

Something strange was happening in the field.

"What is that disciple doing?" one of them said.

Another one started to say something but paused.

"Is he provoking the dummies on both sides of the corridor? That's rather strange. Instead of moving, he's resorting to doing something boring?" the steward voiced his concern.

Suddenly, one steward called out," The dummy he provoked has reacted!"

"He has defeated that dummy!" another one declared.

"Twenty vital energy crystals for his maneuver!" one steward said in awe.

The first one announced," He's provoking the second dummy."

"He got twenty more vital energy crystals!" another one shouted.

Now, all the stewards were focusing on every move Austin made in the Training Field. Now and then, a voice would cry out in surprise to break the concentration.

At the sound, the stewards would look at one another, their faces suddenly filled with awareness.

Did this guy provoke the dummies, one after the other, in order to take the vital energy crystals from them?

The stewards in charge of the promotion test knew very well that dummies in the corridors would be annoyed and react when attacked by a vital energy force.

They had yet to figure out what Austin was planning to do few moments ago, and they were now longing to beat him themselves.

He continued to mystify everyone.

The word that came to all the stewards' minds was 'weirdo', which best described Austin.

In the corridor of the Training Field...

One dummy received a hard punch from Austin.

"Hey, man! Wake up! It's time to work!"

Aside from speaking loudly, the young cultivator talked endlessly to express his excitement.

The vital energy spurred the dummy, which reacted and was about to jump up and attack Austin.

But the guy was too quick for the dummy and pummelled its chest ruthlessly until the vital energy force smashed its chest and left a gaping hole.

As a result, the dummy opened its mouth to spit out twenty vital energy crystals, enveloped in flashing light.

Wasting no time, Austin managed to provoke ten dummies to react and defeat them, gaining a total of two hundred vital energy crystals.

Many brainless dummies stood on both sides of the corridor. Austin quickly decided to beat the ones on the left first, then go on with those on the right side. He vowed not to pass anyone.

"Austin, what are you doing?" a slightly out of breath Denali, demanded.

She had likewise reached the fifty-meter line. Looking at Austin, who stood not far from her, Denali had a confused look.

"Nothing!" Austin snapped. "Go on with your training," he added.
