The commotion was taking place by the gate of Austin's house, and the provocative and arrogant words disturbed the entire area.
Amid the noise, a young man appeared, surrounded by the other boys. The lad who stood up straight, with sharp eyes trained on Evan was Billy.
"Bastard! You're courting death!" someone called out.
The crowd saw a figure move like lightning appear beside the boy who was pummeling Evan.
The boy was caught by surprise when he suddenly felt a presence by his side. He was so astonished that he almost thought of retreating.
A badly beaten Evan was black and blue from too many bruises. When he saw this, Austin felt fury bubbling inside him and swore he would not let this go without a fight.
As soon as he got close, he swiftly caught the young boy's hands. There were two cracking sounds, as the boy screamed in pain. Austin had broken both his arms.
Then Austin extended his left hand, grabbed the young boy's neck, and effortlessly lifted him.
Oblivious to his surroundings, the disciple threw several punches non-stop using a third or fourth of the vital energy on his right hand.
The severe beating had the boy screaming and howling in pain and humiliation. He was so terrified that he wet and dirtied his pants and was now filthy and stinking.
Finally, Austin shook his right arm, and the boy fell to the ground and fainted.
Breathing heavily, he asked," Evan, are you okay?"
Slowly, he helped his friend get up.
It was a tremendous relief for Evan to see Austin beside him. His entire body was now throbbing in pain. But he suppressed a groan so Austin would not lose face before Billy and the others.
It seemed that his friend suddenly appeared like a god and gave the boy who bullied him a thorough beating.
After witnessing what happened, the other disciples quieted down for fear that Austin would use his power against them as he did to the boy.
Only Billy remained indifferent. He stood there with his arms crossed and threw Austin a contemptuous sneer.
As Austin was about to beat up the young boy, Billy noted the sixth level wave of the Energy Gathering Real on him. It was undeniable that his skills were not only neat and efficient but also extraordinary.
But not long ago, Billy stepped into the eighth level in the Energy Gathering Realm. Coupled with his martial arts talent, he believed he was in the list of the Top 10 outer disciples.
Meanwhile, Austin was only at the sixth level. So, Billy exuded an air of calmness because the other disciple's power was nothing compared to his.
And Billy was equally assertive that he could kill the young boy who was beaten by Austin with just one motion.
"Ah, Austin. It is you."
When Austin appeared, Billy immediately recognized him. The Austin who stood in front of him was the person who ranked first among outer disciples three years ago.
His eyes hardened as he sensed a certain fierceness emanating from the other person with imposing manner. Austin also marginally felt an implicit spear intent from him.
