Chapter 76 Helen Of Troy (2/2)

Austin turned around and saw Denali's slender figure come into view. Her body was a mesmerizing silhouette against the deep green lights coming from the passageway where he had fought the dummies.

She ambled over to him confidently and Austin's face cracked into a smile. He nodded at her in acknowledgment.

They had met on a few occasions now, and Austin's fondness for her only grew each time. He was especially touched last time when Denali had stepped forward and spoken up in defense of Evan. He had felt grateful toward her.

Of course, such fondness was not the kind be

verbal hit, Austin continued walking forward with Denali.

Given the cold shoulder, Matias fumed silently and followed behind. From time to time, his gaze would occasionally lock on Denali's attractive, curvy figure, and he would swallow hard.

The further they advanced, the fewer grunt disciples there would be left as most of them were unable to pass the test and go forward.

Along the way, they constantly confronted dummies at the third level of the Energy Gathering Realm. The dummies continuously jumped out from the periphery of the passageway and flanked them.

Denali's swordsmanship was quite advanced, even mysterious. Matias's knife skills were extraordinary. They struck back the dummies with ease.

Austin saw that Denali had reached the fourth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. She must have made a breakthrough recently; it required hard work.

For Austin himself, it was a piece of cake to fight the dummies at the third level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

He didn't have to rack his brains for a line of attack. As soon as he saw a dummy, Austin punched him with his fist and the dummy vanished right away. He hardly had to employ a second strike to defeat them.

Austin's extraordinary strength had captured Denali. She stared at him in wonder now and then, her eyes twinkling with admiration.

Matias's face darkened even more. He was no longer insulting and taunting Austin, for it didn't escape his notice how his rival defeated the dummies even more effortlessly than he himself did.
