The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 402 A Reward Of Twenty Million Vital Energy Crystals

A man was seated in the corner of the auditorium. His cold eyes, filled with killing intent, landed on Austin who was in the resting area for the contestants.

The man was Abbott, head of the Blood Wolf Team. Many of his teammates had signed up for the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games—an excellent opportunity for all the sects in the Violet Orchid Empire. He was serious about this match and wished his men could break in the top fifty so that they could enter the Mysterious Nether World.

Abbott closely watched Austin's matches with furrowed eyebrows. He wanted to observe the lad's performance to see how powerful he could be. The more powerful Austin was, the more significant trouble the Blood Wolf Team's members were in. If Abbott wouldn't do something about Austin, he would be a big threat to him and his comrades in the near future.

"Darcy, have you spread the news about a bounty on Austin’s head?" Abbott asked a thin man beside him.

"Sir, we've delivered the message secretly. Now, all the contestants must have heard about the news.

This is the highest reward we've ever offered. I'm sure all these cultivators must be eager to take Austin’s life.

No one could surely resist the temptation of such a significant amount of money," Darcy whispered in Abbott's ear.

"I see. Austin is a powerful cultivator. I guess only a few contestants would be able to kill him.

I hope a strong cultivator will be willing to take him down for twenty million vital energy crystals.

The perfect person for the job is Leo from the Peripatetic Sect. If he is willing to do so, Austin is as good as dead," Abbott explained in a deep voice, hopeful that the bounty would lure someone to kill Austin.

"Sir, Leo's cultivation base is high, but he is still a principal disciple. Twenty million vital energy crystals are already a big sum of money for any sect disciples.

I guess he'll accept the mission for the bounty.

If that happens, Austin is surely doomed."

"I hope so."

Even after hearing Darcy's reassuring remark, Abbott still had some apprehensions. He had a bad feeling that Austin would soon cause great trouble for the Blood Wolf Team.

Meanwhile, Dwayne, the Chief Elder of Flaming Sun Valley, also sat in the corner of the auditorium.

He came here for one purpose—to end Austin’s life.

Since his grandson, Raymond, had gotten killed by Austin, he only focused on one thing—to avenge him.

Dwayne stared at Austin from the other end, his eyes gleaming with infinite resentment.

"I've used all my connections and asked everyone I know for help to avenge my grandson. Even my friend's disciple, Philip, promised to find a chance to kill Austin during the tournament. Now, he's definitely doomed. My poor Raymond, I'm going to avenge you," Dwayne murmured, still mourning for the death of his sole grandson

His voice was so low that only he could hear what he uttered.

.. A group of contestants, who were loyal to the elder son of the emperor, lined up in the resting area. A man, about twenty-three years old, stood out among them, giving off a dangerous aura like a demon. He was dressed in beautiful clothes with golden silk thread and wore a belt with gems. A floor-length silver cloak draped on his shoulders. The man certainly looked affluent as his strong vital energy force overwhelmed everyone.

He stood in front of the rest before turning around and saying, "Everyone! I'm sure you have not forgotten the prince's words. If any of us meet Austin in the battle ring, we must try our best to bring him down. That man had the guts to take the prince's two concubines with him during the wedding ceremony. He committed an unpardonable crime, and for that, he must die.”

The rest nodded in agreement while some weak cultivators prayed that they wouldn't have to fight with Austin.

After two rounds, only over forty cultivators, who were faithful to the tenth prince, were left in the competition.

Austin and Dewey, who were both standing in line, shared a conversation from time to time and watched the others fight.

Dewey looked harmless and kind, but he had some insightful remarks about the battles. Austin realized that he was someone strong who was pretending to be weak.

Austin had no idea that he would be in trouble after the Blood Wolf Team put a price on his head. Most of the contestants were now very eager to kill him for the twenty million vital energy crystals.

It was Maria who learned about the news and filled him in about the Blood Wolf Team's agenda.

Austin laughed scornfully and retorted, "Looks like the Blood Wolf Team is determined to take my life.

Turns out my life is worth twenty million vital energy crystals.”

The news didn't even worry him. Since the Blood Wolf Team had a deep grudge against him, he wasn't surprised to know that they would offer such a generous bounty for his head.

"How did you mess with the Blood Wolf Team, Tin? Those people are vengeful,” Dewey asked curiously.

"Don't worry. I will kill them all sooner or later," Austin responded casually with a scornful smile.

After fighting the people of the Blood Wolf Team and Flaming Sun Valley several times, Austin was used to dealing with his enemies. He didn’t think he would be in grave danger unless the Blood Wolf Team or the Flaming Sun Valley sent some powerful martial artists at the Mysterious Realm to go after him.

A pensive look shone in Maria's beautiful eyes as she heard Austin's unbothered remarks. Her intuition told her that Austin was a mysterious yet powerful cultivator.

Several hours later, the second round of tryout was over.

Half of the contestants were eliminated, and there were still over three hundred left.

After a half-hour break, the third round started.

The contestants prepared themselves for more intense battles. All of them were aware that they were going to encounter more powerful opponents for the weak ones had already been eliminated.

It also meant that they needed to go all out to defeat their fierce competitors.

All the contestants drew lots. In the first leg of the third round, Maria was chosen to fight while Austin wasn't. After a few seconds, she was sent up in the battle ring.

Maria easily defeated her opponent with her two flexible silk ribbons. After that, Austin's number plate glowed, signaling that it was his turn. Shmm!

Before Austin could even realize anything, he was already in the No. 20 battle ring.

His opponent was a woman, about twenty-seven years old. She had a pair of thick eyebrows, tall nose, and small rosy lips. Her skin was also fair and smooth.

She exuded an elegant vibe as a harp rested on her hands. The woman slightly bowed to Austin, greeting her opponent most gracefully.
