The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Chapter 55 The Battle Between Spiritual Souls

Sensing the unidentified object in the elixir field of his body, Austin tried to use his vital energy to expel

it, though he was hesitant and afraid. If the plan backfired, his own vital energy could be damaged.

"Bzzz…"

Whatever it was, it got stimulated from the energy and purred in a low voice, slowly getting aroused.

Then suddenly, it began to absorb the vital energy from Austin's elixir field with a frantic power that he

was unable to resist. It was almost as if there was a magical suction in place.

The suction grew stronger by the second as that thing kept absorbing his vital energy. In just a short

while, it had completely swallowed the vital energy that Austin had feverishly, much like a whale

devouring its prey.

Austin was deeply shocked and scared. He resisted as hard as he could and tried to avoid the suction

with all of his willpower, but what he did was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The scariest thing was that in just a moment, Austin had found that all of his vital energy had been

sucked out of him by that thing in side of him. Now, that thing looked strange, with no definite shape,

and glowing with a bright light.

Austin regretted wasting his vital energy in his desperation and felt like crying.

He blamed himself deeply for having bothered that damn thing with his vital energy. It was a risk and it

hadn't paid off.

It had taken him great efforts to get back to the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm. But now, all of

his vital energy had been snatched from him in one sudden moment. Did he have to start over again?

The very thought of this was unimaginable and Austin could not help feeling a little desperate.

"No! I am never going to give in. I am going to get rid of this thing."

Without a second's delay or hesitation, he took out an earth spirit fruit, thrust it into his mouth and

swallowed frantically.

Just as the fruit went down his throat, it released a large amount of vital energy into his veins,

energizing him, albeit for an instant.

The object in his elixir field immediately sensed the vital energy and it created another strong suction.

In an instant, the vital energy of the earth spirit fruit was forced towards the elixir field and absorbed by

that strange thing once again.

Having no alternative, and getting more and more frantic by the minute, he put another earth spirit fruit

into his mouth without hesitation.

But it amounted to the same thing once more. The vital energy was immediately absorbed by that

damned thing.

Then he continued to take the third earth spirit fruit…

The fourth earth spirit fruit…

Then the next one. He had already taken five.

Then the sixth earth spirit fruit…

Finally, when he had stuffed the seventh earth spirit fruit down his throat, the released vital energy

poured into his veins, gurgled around and finally fell into the elixir field where it stayed this time and

was not absorbed by the thing.

Not until then did he recover and regain his strength. The sudden scare had almost made him

breathless and it took a few seconds for his breathing to go back to normal.

Austin heaved a long sigh of relief when he felt re-energized once more. Thankfully, he didn't have to

start all over again.

Using his inward vision, he chanced a glance at that thing with fear as if it were something horrible. He

was afraid to provoke it again.

What the hell was inside his body and why was it eating vital energy! Was it a parasite?

If he did not drive it out of his body here and now, then what if some accident happened in the future?

That thing would eat all of his energy and not let him recover.

The whole affair was much like a bomb had been buried in his body. No one knew when it would

suddenly explode. So right now, the biggest problem was, how could he get it out of his body? Austin

was at a loss. He really wanted to cry at that moment.

"Haha! Providence willed it that I should escape death. I really have the luck of the devil."

Suddenly, a peal of laughter rang out from inside Austin's body. The laughter was full of excitement and

the tone with which it was uttered expelled a sense of arrogance.

"Who are you? How did you get inside of me?"

Austin asked, turning pale with fear.

Looking inside of himself with his spiritual sense, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the glistening

white mass in his elixir field. What was it? Was it a bird? Was it an insect?

No wait! When he looked closely, it turned out to be just a little monkey, only about the size of a walnut.

Yet Austin was scared anyway because it had still eaten all his vital energy.

Although the monkey was small in size, the red aura that he gave off made him look extremely

powerful.

Hearing Austin's question, the monkey responded pretentiously, "It was really unexpected that such a

nidering thing as the earth spirit fruit would save my life at this key moment. Otherwise, all I had was a

snowball's chance in hell!"

'Is the earth spirit fruit a nidering thing?' Austin thought to himself when he heard what the little monkey

had said.

The tone of the little monkey deeply stunned Austin. It was arrogant beyond imagination.

He had not expected that the earth spirit fruit, which had taken his life's worth of fight to gather, would

become a low thing in his mouth.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you in my body?"

Austin asked again.

"You don't need to know who I am. All you need to know is that you are a lucky person because your

pathetic shell of a body is going to be dedicated for me now. I am going to kill you and take over it! And

just remember that today is the most important day of your life. Today, pathetic human, is the day that

you serve a purpose greater than any other!"

The little monkey told him in a defiant manner.

Hearing this, Austin had a premonition of impending doom.

What did he mean "serve a purpose"?

"Get out of my body right now you parasite, or you're going to regret ever being born," Austin snapped

furiously even though fears loomed large in his mind.

He found the whole thing so strange and couldn't figure out why there was suddenly a little monkey

inside his elixir field. But since it had eaten his vital energy, it was dangerous and needed to be taught

a lesson.

"And who is going to make me regret? You? Huh! Let me see how you do me any mischief. You are

merely at the sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm and I can kill you as easily as an ant. I tell you, I

used to be able to kill 100 thousand people like you with one breath.

Although my cultivation base has been reduced to Earth Realm, you are not in the position to say no

when you are in front of me. From now on, you'll do exactly what I tell you to.

You know, I had made my decision to kill you there and then when I saw you. But keeping in mind that

you saved my life, I decided to talk to you first and then send you to the next world. But it turns out that

even when you bring a cow to the hall, she will run to the byre! All you are showing is arrogance!" This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The little monkey replied, with his hands clasped behind his back, sending out a defiant message that

Austin was his slave now.

However, Austin was in no mood for chit-chatting with the monkey at the moment. He was burning in

anxiety. Deciding that the monkey had uttered enough nonsense, he thundered, "Son of a bitch! Get

out of my body!"

He murmured a formula, arousing the vital energy in his elixir field to flood toward the little monkey,

hoping that the overload would draw him out.

However, the little monkey turned a blind eye to the surge of vital energy, for it had no effect at all when

it lashed on the little monkey.

"Haha! Ignorant boy. I am only a piece of spiritual soul right now and it is useless to try to hurt me with

vital energy.

But in any case, since you're in such a hurry, I'll be a kindhearted person and send you to your death

as soon as possible."

As soon as the little monkey finished his words, he disappeared from the elixir field with a glint of red

light, and re-appeared the very next moment in Austin's Soul Sea.

Looking around, the little monkey was surprised to find that the Soul Sea of this man was extremely

vast, quite unlike a usual cultivator at level six of energy gathering realm.

'This is unbelievable, ' the monkey told himself in disbelief.

"Get out!"

With a furious roar, Austin's spiritual soul also appeared in his Soul Sea, pouncing on the little monkey

violently. He had half a mind to wring its neck there and then but was curious too.

Therefore, he hit the little monkey's spiritual soul heavily with a punch and threw him far way at once.

"This is impossible! How could your spiritual sense be so strong!"

the little monkey exclaimed. His voice was full of panic now as if something terrible had happened and

he no longer looked like the arrogant bastard as before.

He had just behaved in a defiant way, talking as proudly as a cock.

Now, however, he was suddenly showing a picture of confusion and nervousness.

The truth was, although the little monkey used to be very powerful some time ago and there were very

few people indeed who could match him in strength and spirit throughout the whole Prime Martial

World, right now, at that moment, his strength was only at the level of Earth Realm

while the spiritual sense of Austin was surprisingly, at the level of the Mysterious Realm. Austin had

already been able to release his spiritual sense and his strength was clearly superior to the little

monkey who was only a remainder of a lost spiritual soul.

In fact, the little monkey was the same great ape who had fought fiercely with the other three monsters

in the depths of the Grand Desolation Mountain. During that fight, he had been almost overpowered

and had to resort to a forbidden martial art at the expense of his blood essence in order to finally

escape the pursuit of other monsters. This, however, had cost him.

His body was destroyed, leaving only his spiritual soul behind and he would have been obliterated very

soon.

Even his spiritual soul had almost fallen into oblivion. But fortunately, the six earth spirit fruits which

Austin had consumed after being taken by him had saved his life in time.

What was ironic was that even though the original remainder of his soul would have vanished between

the Earth and the Heavens if Austin had not saved him, he was still hell-bent on getting rid of Austin

until just now.
