The Supreme God of Martial Arts

'Well, | think it's tthat | accept the result. Besides, it's not too bad. Also, | can visit them from tto time, since the schools

are just close to each other as Elder Allen had mentioned, ' thought Austin to himself.

Austin heaved a deep sigh, feeling less down as he pondered more about it.

Besides, everyone, including Violet and the gnome, would have to go their own ways and face their own fates. They needed to

learn how to fight for themselves for no one could stay around him forever.

Like what the old man in grey had told him a while ago, the way he was going to take would not be suitable for Caroline, Violet, the

gnome, and even the rest of his friends. This would, perhaps, be a great chance for them to find their own ways and tap into their

own martial capabilities.

Everyone was suddenly startled by a loud announcement.

"Listen, everyone! All the new disciples of the Black Tortoise School must chere now and rally. Get ready for we will leave for

the Black Tortoise School in the Middle Pilgrim Land, where you will start a new life as cultivators," said Elder Barton aloud.

All the new disciples of the Black Tortoise School was surprised at the sudden departure.

When Elder Barton noticed their hesitation, he didn't think twice to shout once more, "Right now!"

The cluster of disciples in front of him turned cold and even more hesitant.

Most of them, if not all, had planned to go back to their own sects or clans to bid their goodbyes for they would be gone for quite a

long time.

However, Elder Barton wasn't taking any of their reactions. "If | hear more of this nonsense, | will not hesitate to leave you. As

cultivators, we should all know that our number one priority should be to practice our martial arts. We should all be decisive and

quick in responding, so stop this nonsense. We leave now! Anyone who wishes to quit can do so now."

Having no other choice but to obey the elder's order, the new disciples under the Black Tortoise School immediately hushed.

Violet, who was delighted a moment ago, turned sad now as she felt reluctant to leave Austin. She hastily walked towards him and

said, "Master, to be honest, | don't want to depart with you.

Why don't | just quit from the Black Tortoise School now and go with you as before?"

Violet looked at Austin with sad and longing eyes. She had been by his side for at least seven years now.

She had stayed together with him and had grown up with him ever since she met him.

Having been together for that long established a close relationship between Violet and Austin as if they were siblings.

Therefore, it was natural for Violet to feel this way after knowing that she would have to depart soon.

Hearing this from Violet, Austin gave her a weak smile and said, "Violet, please, don't be silly, and as Elder Barton said, stop talking

nonsense.

Although | don't want to lose you by my side as well, we have to face the fact that you cannot stay withforever. | guess this is

the right tfor you to leave and see the world on your own."

As a matter of fact, Austin really did not want to be separated with Violet, as well.

However, he had already made up his mind to let go of Violet and was resolved in persuading her to take her new journey herself.

Violet's beautiful eyes had turned red as tears threatened to cout. Then again, deep down, she knew Austin was right.

"All right, master. | will leave as you wish, but you can't stopfrom going to you regularly in the Blue Dragon School."

"Take care, lad," the gnsaid as he stepped forward and patted Austin's back. He, too, felt sad.

Like Violet, the gnhad established a close relationship with Austin as well.

After coming across Austin in the PrMartial World, he had been with him for at least seven years, more than Austin's twith

Violet.

However, he seemed less sentimental and was resolute in bidding farewell to Austin as if he had prepared for this tto come.

Austin gave both of them a smile and said, "Both of you should take care as well and stop worrying, okay? I'll go and visit you both

in the Black Tortoise School even if you don't have the tto seein the Blue Dragon School, okay?"

At this very moment, their conversation was interrupted as Elder Barton waved his hand, revealing a mighty warship in the air.

Elder Barton then beckoned to his new disciples, and they all jumped onto the boat.

In the blink of an eye, the warship disappeared into the clouds as it started to fleet towards the sky and into the horizon like a ray

of lightning and thunder.

Waving their hands at Austin and their companions behind him, Violet and the gnstood at the bow of the warship, feeling sad

and excited at the stat their sudden new journey ahead.

As they all watched the warship slowly fading away in the distance, the rest was once more startled by another announcement.

"Eyes and ears here, everyone! All the new disciples of the Rose Finch School, cand gather here. We will leave now as well!"

Without waiting for their reaction, Elder Allen waved his hand and also summoned a flying ship in the air. Then, he signaled all the

new disciples under him to aboard the ship. Not wanting to get a scolding like that from Elder Barton, the new disciples of the Rose

Finch School dared not to disobey.

After hearing this, Austin's eyes turned wide. "Caroline!" He shouted and tried to find her among the crowd.

Caroline was also finding for Austin, and as soon as she heard him call out her name, she ran towards that direction and saw Austin

coming towards her. They both held onto each other's hands and looked into each other with sad eyes.

At this moment of departure, none of them could find the right words to say to each other. Only the tears coming from Caroline's

beautiful eyes spoke for how both of them felt for each other at that very moment.
