Thanks for your advice!.
Austin stared at Timothy without blinking.
"But you are also supposed to know one thing."
"What?"
Timothy was amazed.
"The outer sect is the same level to me as it was three years ago."
"Ha-ha-ha, well, that's quite ignorant of you! The former No.1 of outer Sect has undergone many
changes and is beyond recognition. But soon you will know how ignorant you are!"
Timothy guffawed at him.
"Forget that I am ignorant or not, why don't you give it a try?"
Austin didn't want to waste any more words on this, so he deflected answering the question with
indifference.
Timothy also said no more. The two axes that had hung on his shoulders were now firmly in his hands.
His palms were three or four times larger than those of ordinary people. The two giant axes in such
bulky palms made the sight all the more frightening.
The picture of Timothy was of a fierce beast's: two humongous axes in both hands, a swelling rage in
his chest and a murderous look in his eyes.
And then he sparked out the endless intent from the axes, which led to black vital energy forces
emerging from his body. The power was so intense that it swept the dust from the ground.
In a blur of harsh lights, the forces flared into one stage to another until they turned into illusory axes.
Countless axe shadows were flying all over the sky above the arena.
Axes mountain! Axes pool! Axes graveyard! Axes mausoleum!
A world of axes was now resurrected.
And Timothy was the master of this world!
He was at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm, and was at level 2 of the axe intent!
Straight away, a wave of sensation spread through the crowd among which, the disciples were
especially in an uproar.
Timothy's vital energy flickered in its power making it clear for anyone to see that his cultivation base
was at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm.
"Oh, my God! Timothy's cultivation base is at the Earth Realm!"
"There's no question of Austin failure. He will be easily defeated by Timothy."
"I agree. There is a great disparity between the Energy Gathering Realm and the Earth Realm. Though
Austin is competitive, still he will be thrashed to the ground by Timothy.". . .
Theon and the Six Elders were so pleased to see that there was such excellent disciple in outer Sect
"Good! Good! This disciple is excellent! Ha-ha-ha!"
Theon said. It was indeed very extraordinary for an outer disciple to have the cultivation base of the
preliminary stage of the Earth Realm.
"It seems that among the disciples of this year, there are many aces."
The six Elders agreed and nodded in gratification.
Theon continued, "What is rarer is that he has an exceptional talent for martial arts as he has acquired
the level 2 axe intent by himself. He is even superior to most of the inner disciples.
We should learn from this and broaden our candidate pool for selection. It doesn't make sense to
confine this to the inner disciples from now on.
As for Austin, although Theon and the six Elders knew what Austin had achieved in the past, they still
didn't think it was important to pay much attention to him. After all, he was at the ninth level of the
Energy Gathering Realm which was not worth much attention. . . . .
"Ha-ha, Austin, You now know what I've just said is true. Three years ago, you ranked the first among
all outer disciples by being at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. Now such cultivation base
is nothing in comparison to the outer Sects."
Timothy laughed wildly with glee.
Austin didn't know how to refute him, because it was true.
"That is very sensible of you to not contest. Now come out here immediately!"
Timothy became more conceited when he saw Austin was rendered speechless.
Countless giant axe shadows and dark vital energy forces hovered over the gigantic figure and rumbled
above them resembling thunder.
"Try my heaven split axe skill."
The axe shadows and the dark vital energy forces upped the threat. Strong gale winds started to blow
and the color of the sky turned a strange sickening yellow. The sky nevertheless was overcast and
soon it began to pour. For those present at the arena, it fell like the end of the world as nature's most
vile forces came out in full speed.
"This is a worthy opponent." Austin thought and braced himself for a serious fight.
This man shouldn't be underestimated not even by Austin.
Austin quickly took out the Violet Royal Sword from his Space Ring and pointed it at Timothy.
As part of his weaponry, The Twin Shadow Blades despite not being used for a long time were also on
standby.
He looked at Timothy square in the eye and then appraised him from head to toe taking in his imposing
stance. Austin knew that his combat effectiveness was higher than Lanny's, the master of the Valley
Town.
This was a forbidding fighter no doubt.
Holding his Violet Royal Sword, Austin alerted every inch of his body to sense his surroundings. Now
that he had learned the level 2 sword intent, he was raring to use it against a deserving contender. And
Timothy's level 2 axe intent was just the right matching skill to fight it against. With their minds taut and
their bodies agile, Austin was raring to find out the superior among them.
Clenching his fists, Austin began to pass billowing golden vital energy forces from him to the Violet
Royal Sword. As the power surged into his sword, a different biting aura started to radiate from him.
Numerous interlaced sword shadows moved around him and engulfed his body in a sword aura.
With the fierce expression on his face, it seemed as if two cold piercing sword-lights rose out from
Austin's eyes.
In the midst of the many sword-lights that looked like a firestorm, Austin stood tall and motionless.
Someone in the audience gasped and put his hand to his mouth. Austin's golden sword radiance had
started to slash Timothy's dark axe shadows snipping them off like whimsical ribbons. They writhed and
twisted to avoid the attack but the unceasing ripping movements were all over the arena.
And just like that, to everyone's disbelief the axe shadows were halved. All those who watched sat
stunned at this outcome.
The sword shadows' power was as mighty if not more than the axe shadows.
Piecing the puzzle together, it was right there for everyone to see. Austin was with level 2 sword intent!
Propping their chins in their heads, most of the spectators sat at their edge of the seat.
Austin mastering the level 2 sword intent couldn't have crossed the mind of a single person present. It
was all too unthinkable.
"The top 10 challenges of this year are so thrilling!" A visibly excited spectator gleefully gestured to his
friend.
Even Theon and the six Elders were now captivated by Austin's prowess.
