COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD - Season 3 Episode 63

When Austin reached the magnificent elixir shop that he had gone to last time, he entered it directly.

Inside the shop, the same clerk that he had met before was sitting at the counter and writing something with his head low.

Austin let out a cough to get his attention.

Hearing the noise, the clerk raised his head and was stunned to see Austin, who was still wearing his grey cloak.

“Do you remember me?” Austin asked. The last time Austin had come here, he had been wearing a black cloak, so he wouldn’t be surprised if the clerk didn’t recognize him.

“Oh, my. I remember your face. The shopkeeper asked me to pay special attention to you when you came. Now here you are.

Please come in, come in,” the clerk said warmly.

The last time Austin had come to the store, the clerk had received a big bonus thanks to Austin’s order. If everything went well today, he would definitely receive another reward because Austin’s order this time was worth a million vital energy crystals.

Needless to say, he received Austin with the biggest smile on his face.

Together, they entered the luxury room at the back of the shop where the thin and kind shopkeeper was waiting for them.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Austin, he stood up.

“Hi, sir. May I know about my order? Do you have all the herbs and Elixirs?” Austin asked.

This was Austin’s biggest priority at the moment.

“Of course, sir. It was my honor to prepare everything. Everything you requested on your list is ready. We’ve merely been waiting for you to come and take the goods,” the old shopkeeper replied with a laugh.

He was a plain-spoken man and didn’t add anything else.

“Oh, really? Everything is ready?”

Austin was overjoyed. He had expected the order to take a much longer time to fulfill.

The shopkeeper smiled and passed him a space ring.

Holding the space ring in his hand, Austin scanned it with his spiritual sense. After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction. It was true that all the materials he needed to practice the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, the herbs and the Elixirs, were all inside this space ring. It was worth one million vital energy crystals.

“You’ve indeed fulfilled your promise, sir. I really appreciate your efforts,” Austin said.

He was sincerely grateful to the shopkeeper.

After all, with this space ring, Austin could start to learn the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula! Once he finished learning it, his muscles and bones would become as tough as steel. He would be able to bear the blow of all the strikes of a cultivator at the Energy Gathering Realm with just his physical body. And every punch of his would have the force of 5, 000 pounds. Austin’s fight would be improved greatly and effectively.

The shopkeeper smiled at Austin without saying anything. He seemed to be hinting at something.

“Oh, right,” Austin said, realizing that he had forgotten something.

He took out the space ring and gave it an order with his mind. The next moment, a huge pile of vital energy crystals appeared on the table in front of the shopkeeper.

There were one million vital energy crystals in total.

Austin gave the space ring another order and a smaller pile of vital energy crystals appeared next to the first pile. There were a hundred thousand vital energy crystals in this pile.

“There are one million and one hundred thousand vital energy crystals in total. The extra vital energy crystals are a reward to you, sir!” Austin said.

He had initially planned to give the shopkeeper just fifty thousand vital energy crystals as a reward, but since he was rich enough and satisfied with the goods, he decided to be generous.

“Thank you, sir! This is a great deal,” the shopkeeper replied enthusiastically, putting away all the vital energy crystals into his space ring.

He couldn’t believe how generous Austin was being. . . . .

Austin put away all the materials he needed into his space ring as well.

After that, he thought about his next move. ‘Now, I have all the materials I need to practice the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula. But why don’t I feel excited about it? Why don’t I feel happy that my physical body will become much stronger?’

After thinking about it for a while, Austin realized something. Once he learned the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, he’d be able to bear the punch of a cultivator at the Energy Gathering Realm. Every punch or kick of his would have the force of 5, 000 pounds.

This amount of strength would have been amazing for Austin months ago. But now that Austin wasn’t at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm anymore, the strength he’d get from learning the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula might not be enough for him.

In the future, most of the opponents he would face would be cultivators at Earth Realm or even at Mysterious Realm.

After practicing the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, he would have a great advantage over a cultivator at the Energy Gathering Realm. He could fight against one using just his physical body and without summoning any of his vital energy.

But when fighting against a cultivator at Earth Realm, especially one at a higher level than the medium stage of Earth Realm, a force of 5, 000 pounds wouldn’t be enough for him.

Basically, learning the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula would help him improve his physical body’s strength and toughness, tenacity, and anti-strike force.

But when fighting against cultivators at a higher level than the medium stage of Earth Realm, he wouldn’t be able to expect the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula to be the trump card that would let him miraculously defeat his enemy.

Of course, he could still learn the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula!

If he finished learning the third stage, his bones and muscles would be completely reformed. He would be immune against most illnesses and poison. Even fire and water wouldn’t be able to hurt him. He would be able to bear the strike from a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm. And his blow would have the force of 8, 000 pounds.

Anyway, the most attractive factor for Austin was that he would be able to bear the force of his enemy’s strike just by using his physical body.

In other words, once he learned the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula, he wouldn’t need to defend himself at all. He could just focus on attacking his opponent when fighting against someone at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm.
