Afterwards, Austin looked down. What was left in front of him was a long scarlet sword which had a
mysterious shimmering streak of magical light emanating from it.
It was a high-grade spiritual weapon that Lois received from his ancestors.
There were three words engraved on the blade of the sword, which read Violet Royal Sword.
Austin stood up and decided to test the sword's ability. He aimed at a giant tree and sliced it using the
blade. In an instant, a streak of strong scarlet light flashed from the sword as it was cutting the tree.
And right after the Violet Royal Sword had completely sliced through the tree, the enormous tree that
had a width of at least five men's arms' length began to shake. And then it started tilting and was slowly
falling to the ground. Austin retreated to a safe distance, about 20 feet from the falling tree. A roaring
and rumbling sound came from the falling tree. The ground shook as it fell, creating a loud bang which
resonated throughout the forest. The animals were surprised and frightened; birds left their nests and
flew into the sky, the deer scattered everywhere trying to find a safe place to hide, and the rats wiggled
into their caves...
'Wow! This is a surprisingly sharp sword.'
Austin was fascinated and amazed with the sword's power.
Holding the sword in his hand, Austin started thinking as to how to use it for his own gain.
As of this moment, he had acquired martial arts skills of Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, Wind-
commanding Skill, Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, Twin Shadow Blades, and the 1000 pounds' lifting
capability he got from Overlord Body-refining Formula.
Mulling over his skills, he realized that none of them required a sword or even needed a sword.
Although the Twin Shadow Blades sounded like a skill that would require some sort of weapon, but in
reality, it only required the use of his mind in order to control it.
But since he had obtained a powerful sword, he felt the need to start learning and practicing a new
martial art that required it.
Considering that the Violet Royal Sword was a high-grade spiritual weapon, Austin felt that it would be
such a waste not to use it. He thought that he should practice swordsmanship skill that would suit this
sword. This way, the sword would be of use and would finally be worth all the trouble he had been
through just to acquire it.
The first place that came into his mind where he could find a swordsmanship skill book was the Sacred
Scriptures Library. However, having been there once, he knew that most of the books in that library
were only about grade two or grade three swordsmanship skills, which seemed too low of a grade for
such a powerful sword.
Among all the skills he had learned so far, the Wind-commanding Skill was a grade five martial arts
skill, and the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was a grade four martial arts skill while the Overlord
Body-refining Formula was even more remarkable as to be a grade seven martial arts skill.
After learning and mastering all these high-grade martial arts skills, Austin honestly felt indifferent to
much lower grade martial arts skills, such as those belonged to second or third grade.
It was like a person who became accustomed to having delicious food and was being forced to eat
buns. He felt that the skill books in the Sacred Scriptures Library were way below his talents and skills.
To match the Violet Royal Sword, it seemed like he needed to find a high-grade swordsmanship skill
book from somewhere else.
'Maybe I should try my luck on an auction since I finally have the means to buy something. I have so
many vital energy crystals after all, ' he thought to himself.
Now, with things worth 300, 000 vital energy crystals in his pocket, he felt that it would be easier to
purchase the kind of book he wanted.
'It seems like it's time to go back, '
he mumbled to himself as he gazed towards the direction of the Sun Sect. . . . .
Two days later, in Peace Town near the Sun Sect.
The weather was cool and pleasant and the streets were crowded as usual.
On the main street, a notice written on large red paper was posted on the door of a luxuriously
decorated shop. The notice was about the projects that the shop had.
A young man stood before the notice and was contemplating about it.
It was none other than Austin himself.
During his days in the outer range of the Grand Desolation Mountains, Austin had acquired a great
number of diabolic beast cores. Now he was searching for a place to sell them.
On his way back to the Sun Sect, he swung by the Peace Town first.
'This shop really does business of purchasing diabolic beast cores. Let me find out how much they
would offer.'
With the thought, Austin stepped into the shop.
The decoration of the shop was as luxurious and magnificent as he had expected. 'The owner of the
shop must have handled numerous business transactions to have such great knowledge on the value
of various kinds of diabolic beast cores, ' he thought.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
A gruff sound was heard from behind the counter located in the middle of the lobby. Austin turned
around, and saw a guy looking at him with an impolite, mean look on his face.
"I came here to sell some diabolic beast cores that I have," Austin explained.
Austin was a little annoyed at the guy's attitude towards him. Being a customer, he wasn't expecting
such a cold treatment.
"You are not welcome here. We only purchase diabolic beast cores above level three. Otherwise, just
take your diabolic beast cores over to that grocery store over there. They would be more than willing to
do business with you," the guy said, even more impolitely.
No doubt the guy judged Austin as an ordinary, weak young man who could not possibly have much
strength. And of course, in his eyes, it was absolutely impossible for Austin to have any high level
diabolic beast cores.
What the shop wanted was diabolic beast cores, which were at least at level three, and which was
indeed an impossible feat for fighters who were even at level eight or nine of the Energy Gathering
Realm.
It was something very difficult even for prominent fighters, let alone Austin looked like a weak, fragile
young man. The guy thought that he was wasting his time talking to Austin, so he urged Austin to
leave.
Furrowing his brows, Austin stared at the guy indignantly for a short time without arguing with him.
After calming down for a moment, he walked towards the corner and stood in front of that guy. From his
pocket, he took out his level three beast core and threw it on the counter table.
"Now, do you think I should leave?" he asked coldly.
