"Austin, you heard what Master Kevin said;
the Protector Competition is a good opportunity for you,"
Mr. Fang said to Austin.
"But what is the Protector Competition anyway?"
Austin asked.
"Well, you don't need to know that for now. You will understand everything soon,"
Mr. Fang said with a smile.
Austin turned to look at Anderson and Sandro, hoping that they could answer his question instead.
However, they only smiled at Austin and did not say a word.
"Come on! Why do you have to keep me in the dark like this? Give me even just a hint," Austin insisted.
Realizing that the three old men had no intention of answering his question, he stopped asking them.
"Boy, you need to focus on improving your strength. Devote the next six months in enhancing your cultivation base and honing your fighting skills. You cannot underestimate your opponents in this competition. I expect you to have an excellent performance in the Protector Competition. It will be held a few months from now,"
Anderson said to Austin.
Sandro nodded in agreement. He too had high expectations from Austin.
The three elders had confidence in Austin, and they all expected a lot from him in this competition.
"Austin, if you need any cultivation resources, just tell me.
I will do my best to help you,"
Sandro assured Austin.
"Really? Are you serious?"
Austin's face lit up. He looked at Sandro with eager eyes as greed filled his mind. Unaware, he bit his lips in excitement.
'Is he going to take this opportunity to blackmail me?'
Sandro asked himself in his mind as he saw the look on Austin's face.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I do need some cultivation resources,"
Austin said immediately, afraid that Sandro might change his mind about his offer to help.
"Really? What do you need?" Sandro asked, doubtful.
He had started to regret making such an offer to help Austin.
"Superior herbs at or above grade six and semi-omnipotent herbs. The more, the better,"
Austin replied with confidence.
"The more, the better?
I bet you need a certain amount of these herbs. Be more specific. Don't be too greedy," Sandro said with raised eyebrows.
He was convinced Austin was going to take this opportun
the mountain where Austin cultivated.
Each of them handed a Space Ring to Austin.
Austin did not hesitate and took the rings.
Then he checked the items inside them with his spiritual sense.
It filled his heart with so much joy; it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest.
The three Space Rings were full of superior herbs at or above the sixth grade. The quantity was outrageous, which shocked him.
There were hundreds of thousands of them!
Aside from the superior herbs, there were countless semi-omnipotent herbs and all kinds of precious natural resources useful for body refining.
If they weren't great masters at the Immortal Transforming Realm, they couldn't have collected so many items.
Looking at the myriad of superior herbs, semi-omnipotent herbs and natural resources, Austin was so excited that he found it hard to breathe.
Swoosh!
Austin took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Thank you so much. I owe you a lot,"
Austin said with gratitude
"Of course you should be grateful. I gave you half of my collections,"
Anderson said, feeling heartbroken.
Austin smiled, feeling embarrassed and grateful at the same time.
After giving Austin more advice and encouragement, the three great masters left.
Excited, Austin rushed into the secret room with the three Space Rings.
"This time, I will achieve the full potential of the Immortal Body Refining Formula!"
Austin smiled to himself, his eyes filled with hope and anticipation.
