The Supreme God Chapter 217 Becoming A Principal Disciple (Part One)

Everyone present was shocked when Austin was able to withstand Timothy's all-out blow. A single
punch from Austin had ensured Timothy's exit from the arena. Everyone had thought that Timothy
would win beyond any doubt. It felt like everyone's brains had frozen at the unexpected outcome of the
fight.

The pin-drop silence went on for a long time.

A cultivator who was at the Earth Realm had been thrown out of the field by just one punch from a
cultivator of the Energy Gathering Realm! How was that even possible?

After what felt like a long time, the murmurs began and then grew into full-blown discussions and
arguments as people seemed to find their tongues after the shock. They were loud enough to bring
down the sky.

And all these were because of what they had just witnessed! A miracle indeed that a cultivator of the
Energy Gathering Realm had skipped a realm and beaten a cultivator of the Earth Realm!

Austin's cultivation base was also at the Earth Realm. But he had used the Magical Aura-changing Skill
from Violet and concealed the fluctuations in his vital energy. He was also adept at managing it in
battle, only showing enough vital energy force as justified the ninth level of the Energy Gathering
Realm. This had made sure that nobody present had any idea about his actual strength, not even those
belonging to the highest level of the Sun Sect like Sect Leader Theon and the six Elders.

Austin hid his actual cultivation base because of a few concerns that he had had. Firstly, he wanted to
keep a low profile here. His experience from three years ago had helped him understand that people
who excelled would become targets of unwarranted attack, just like how the highest tree in the forest
bore the brunt of the strongest winds.



Plus, he didn't want his enemies to know what his actual cultivation base was, especially Jaime, who
was one of the Elders in the sect. Austin had the feeling that Jaime was the one behind the secret
attack three years ago. Bryan and Roger, two others belonging to the Earth Realm, might have been
the other two attackers.

He was only recently promoted to outer disciple again, which had probably attracted the attention of his
opponents. He wondered if he performed exceptionally well, his enemies would swarm around him
again, and might be afraid of his fast growth and thus would kill him one more time.

Even though his cultivation base was at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm, he felt like he was not
strong enough to avenge himself.

Roger and Bryan could be easy to tackle with. Jaime's cultivation base was the lowest among the
Elders. But still he was at the premium stage of the Earth Realm.

Moreover, according to gossip, some of the Elders in the Sun Sect had already reached the Mysterious
Realm.

The five sects of the Violet Orchid Empire seemed to get along well with each other. But the truth was,
they had actually been fighting secretly all the time. All these major factions were intentionally
concealing their real strength.

A major example was how the Sun Sect had always maintained that only their Sect Leader, Theon,
was at the Mysterious Realm.

But everyone knew that as one of the five major sects, the Sun Sect couldn't rely solely on only one
cultivator at the Mysterious Realm to support it.

So, it was taken as an unspoken truth that most of the six Elders of the Sun Sect had already reached
the Mysterious Realm.



Some even went as far to speculate that there was a former Elder in the Sun Sect whose cultivation
base was the strongest of the whole Sect.

Once he had taken all these factors into consideration, Austin could no longer rest easy when it came
to taking revenge against his enemies. If Jaime really was at the Mysterious Realm, then even a
hundred Austins banding together wouldn't really be a match for him. . . . . .

Back at the square, Theon and the six Elders were stunned at how everything had changed. When
they looked at each other, they found their own shock reflected in the others' eyes.

"This boy, Austin, is only at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm but his vital energy is much
stronger than other cultivators who are at the same cultivation base as him. It can be figured out that
the skill that he cultivates his vital energy is much more powerful than the others' skill.

His physical strength is also exceptional, going by his punch, which according to me was in the
thousand-pound range. His body movement skill is brilliant, and what's more, he seems to have
understood level two sword intent. All these add up to the point where he can unleash his great power
when the time comes!"

Theon was at the Mysterious Realm level, his eyes as sharp as they got. He had interpreted Austin's
situation to precision and his explanation was on par with reality. Austin would have been very
surprised if he had heard what Theon had said.

Most of the Elders nodded in agreement.

Only one of them, who was short but eagle-eyed and energetic, snorted contemptuously.

"The young boy was really crafty. He took advantage of his bodily movement skill to sneak up on
Timothy and attacked him from behind," he sneered.



"If Timothy could run his vital energy to form a defense around his body, this boy would never break
through the vital energy cover condensed by a cultivator at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm,
even if he has a thousand-pound super force!

So, as far as I am concerned, Timothy has better skills than Austin, who won by pure trickery just now."

"I disagree with you, Elder Luo. Austin did attack Timothy secretly, but such an attack is part of his
strength. The real strength of cultivators is not only based on their vital energy and cultivation base, but
also on the cultivators' talents, adaptability, and practical experiences.

Austin can understand level two sword intent and he has already proven his talent in martial arts. With
his cultivation base at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm, he dared to face a cultivator
under the Earth Realm, and took the risk of attacking him, proving that he has rich combat experience.
He must have gone through hundreds of battles to accumulate such great experience.

Anyway, he is at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm and just defeated a cultivator of the
Earth Realm. Do you think that he is simply a crafty person?"

A tall, ruddy-looking Elder analyzed. His explanation sounded also reasonable.

However, Elder Luo sneered again, expressing his disapproval.

"Humph! What a load of nonsense you just unloaded, Elder Jiang! Sect Leader, I propose to cancel
Austin's qualification! As an outer disciple, Timothy is someone who was able to reach the Earth Realm
by using his own efforts and without the preferential cultivation resources from the sect. It is obvious
that he is genius in martial arts, which is exactly what our sect needs!

As for Austin, I've heard that he was at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm three years ago,
and he's still at the same place. It is possible that there is just a minuscule chance that he might reach
the Earth Realm anytime soon, or none at all.



So why are we wasting such precious time and opportunity in making sure he becomes a principal
disciple?"
