"You are the most powerful among us. Why are you makinglaunch a frontal attack first?"
Austin's voice was icy cold, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.
"You have a bold tongue! How dare you disobey my order?
Do you know what will happen if | report this to the Right Wing General of the royal household?
You will be punished!" Laird snapped.
The general in charge of the mission turned to be the Right Wing General of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
"Oh, so you are orderingaround just because you are the squad captain? Well, sorry to disappoint you but, that kind of
authority won't work on me," Austin blurted out with full conviction.
He was bold enough to disobey Laird since they had quarreled before.
Besides, the mission was never really his priority.
Austin's primary goal was to cultivate his Beast Energy-extracting Skill through the sea beasts.
"Okay. So you want to revolt, huh?
You are such one bold man.
Everyone, listen to me! This man is a traitor!" Laird's anger flared.
Everyone was all ears when suddenly, the giant octopus moved while Laird and Austin were bickering.
Swoosh!
As the blood-red demonic energy shot up into the sky, a tentacle as thick as a bucket brusquely flung at a squad member who was
at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
The octopus was a Beast Master at its preliminary stage. Its strength was equivalent to a Master Realm human warrior.
That squad member's face turned pale as he felt an overwhelming demonic power flooding and enveloping his body.
"Captain Laird, the beast is attacking!"
The other squad members dared not neglect the octopus' power. One after another, they exercised their consummate skills and
launched attacks against the sea creature in different directions.
Laird hesitated for a moment, his face gloomy and cold.

"Well, | will deal with this beast first before settling old scores with you, traitor."
His golden spear flew out and stabbed the octopus at full speed. An enormous amount of vital energy force poured to the pole
continuously.
Urged by the overwhelming vital energy force, a golden boa emerged from the spear, baring its fangs and charging at the octopus
in a tricky angle.
Having sensed Laird's strength, the octopus folded its four or five tentacles and slapped onto his golden spear from various sides.
Laird's attack made the other squad members heave a sigh of relief.
The pressure was alleviated with the help of Laird.
Meanwhile, Austin dodged swiftly to one side, and a thought flickered in his mind.
He exercised his bodily movement skill and left as quick as lightning, only leaving a shadow in the spot where he stood.
Truth be told, Austin was also very interested in the ancient master's palace.
But with his current strength, it might be a vain attempt even if he could locate it.
He was aware that the royal household had recruited over one thousand warriors. Moreover, four Astral Realm warriors in
command of the expedition.
Compared to that compelling lineup, his strength was just a drop in the bucket.
So he decided to spend more ton the Beast Energy-extracting Skill to quickly improve his strength.
If he could get any information about the mansion of the ancient master by then, he would intrude and try his luck.
"Boy, | will report your attempt to flee the battlefield to the Right Wing General.
Your death will certainly be decided!"
Gazing at Austin's receding figure, Laird exclaimed between his clenched teeth.
Just when his attention was diverted, a thick tentacle dashed right again his head from above.
Laird had to turn around to dodge the attack.
Successfully, just like the previous one, he was able to fend it off.
Austin exercised his Thunderbolt Movement Skill and skimmed over the vast expanse of the sea.
Half an hour later, Austin caught sight of a deserted island with an area of a few hundred square meters.
'l can take the Magical Beast Elixir here."
Austin directly landed on the island.
He found a clean, flat spot and sat down on it with his legs crossed.
As his hand turned over, a vermilion elixir, the size of a dragon eye, appeared in his palm. It had a primitive simplicity in its color
and luster while its fragrant scent contained a profound and exuberant vitality.
The elixir on his hand was precisely the Magical Beast Elixir.
Austin raised his palm and stuffed the bottle's content into his mouth.
Boom!
The instant the Magical Beast Elixir entered his mouth, it immediately turned into a mighty torrent.
The liquid surged into every corner of Austin's internal body.
Like a lighted stove, his whole body blazed up. Scalding and hot puffs of scarlet smokes steamed swiftly like smoke signals.
Austin was like bread in a toaster wrapped by the steams.
Then a sharp jabbing pain penetrated into every part of his body, including every pore and cell.
But Austin's physical strength was strong enough to bear such kind of pain.
And since he had suffered so many times from when he started his body cultivation, Austin was already used to it.
Bearing that kind of pain was normal to him now.
Next, Austin felt the worsening of the sharp pain in each tiny part of his body.
It was like an army of ants had crawled in his skin, flesh, muscle, bone, marrow, and energy meridians.
Each section of his internal body system was in the process of transformation and sublimation.
Everything went so perfectly as his entire body was glowing radiantly after the transformation.
An hour later, Austin shot to his feet.
A sense of great anticipation flickered across his eyes.
He had finished the absorption process of the Magical Beast Elixir.
The next step now would be to hunt sea beasts and improve his physical strength!

The effect would only last for a month. Austin had limited tand couldn't afford to slack off. He had to start improving right
away.
As such, Austin tapped the ground with his toes and soared up into the sky.
He released his spiritual sense into the distance as he flew far into the sea.
While journeying above the vast ocean, Austin couldn't help but smile at his successful absorption of the elixir.
He was smiling from ear to ear when suddenly, a level-ten magical sawshark materialized before him.
His cheeky smile turned into a sly grin right away.
Somewhere nearby, on the surface of the sea, a row of bone swords with varying length broke the surface of the water and slowly
moved forward.
With the aid of his sense, Austin found that those sharp bones were on the back of a magical sawshark.
It was such a rare opportunity to sight such a level-ten sea beast. Austin would, by no means, let it slip away.
The Lightning Sword was already in his palm as he stretched his right hand.
With his Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, a thunderbolt sword aura hacked at the magical sawshark at the speed twenty-five times
faster than the velocity of sound.
Howl!
The roaring sound of the thunderbolt alerted the magical sawshark, causing it to suddenly swim back in an attempt to escape.
It could sense the whiff of danger approaching at lightning speed.
However, it was already too late as Austin's Swift Thunder Swordsmanship was designed for speed attacks.
Swoosh!
The thunderbolt sword aura slashed the magical sawshark's head and cut it into halves.
A level-ten sea beast's strength was equivalent to a warrior at the preliminary or medium stage of Imperial Realm.
As a warrior at the premium stage of Imperial Realm equipped with the formidable power of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship,
Austin was able to slaughter the magical sawshark without breaking a sweat.
Just as he killed the sea beast, Austin produced a suction force via his vital energy force and suspended the corpse of the shark in
front of him.
As he carried out the Beast Energy-extracting Skill, rings of special force with refining effect emanated from Austin's hands and
enveloped the corpse of the sawshark. He was preparing to extract the energy out of the sea creature.
