Chapter 229: 125 Power Absorption Technique, Fierce Bird Second Transformation! (8K!)_2

Something cold and sinister in the environment was extracting energy and siphoning it away.

Invisible and untouchable, one could only passively endure it.

Bai Xiao was bold; he instructed Wei Dong to stay in the villa while he went out alone to explore. The flashlights in the villa were useless, but fortunately, the building had decorative bronze lanterns embedded in the walls. With a sweep of his large hand, Bai Xiao pulled a bronze lantern straight off the wall to use as his own lantern. Once lit, it illuminated a small circle around him as he stepped into the darkness.

His exploration led to some discoveries.

The surround area was not boundless.

It was merely a region that enveloped half the range of Peace Park.

The entire villa, along with half of Peace Park.

Further out, the distant mountains that seemed to be faintly visible to the naked eye, appeared like an elusive curtain, seen but not touchable.

Bai Xiao stopped in his tracks and reached out to touch the darkness ahead.

His palm was blocked, as if by an invisible wall of air.

He exerted force again, his powerful energy bursting forth toward it.

The air wall reacted, glowing as if it were a thin membrane.

Without hesitation, Bai Xiao took a deep breath.

In an instant, his body swelled, growing several sizes larger; thick veins surfaced on half of his face, and his muscles rapidly filled with blood and rose.

Boom!!!

He threw a punch.

It was like a massive battering ram violently smashing into the membrane.

Thud!

The tremendous force even caused ripples to explode through the air.

"Seems to be working, keep going!"

Bai Xiao’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and a white flow of qi swirled around the sides of his nostrils.

He lifted his arms high, like the wings of a seagull ready to take flight.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

His punches erupted with the force of thunder.

A dense barrage of punches continuously bombarded the surface of the luminous membrane.

The membrane flickered rapidly, its frequency increasing speed.

Somewhere in the darkness, the branches of the Yabadon Life Tree glowed red.

The branches trembled violently, leaves rustling down, as the red glow shrank.

The light receded smaller and smaller, from three meters to two, then down to one.

Finally, with a fizz!

It disappeared in an instant, like a short-circuited wire going dark.

Bang, the branch of the Yabadon Life Tree exploded.

In the distance, Bai Xiao’s final punch hit the membrane, and his power surged out.

The membrane shattered, the space itself trembling.

Everything in front of him flickered rapidly, as if in overdrive.

Whir!

His mind blurred then cleared again.

Bai Xiao appeared at the entrance of the villa in the real world, still in the posture of delivering a punch.

In front of him was a cast iron gate, blasted to smithereens.

"Out already?"

Bai Xiao turned his head, surveying the surroundings.

The road ahead was bathed in moonlight, and street lamps cast their glow.

Turning back, the lights inside the standalone villa were still bright.

Moreover, Wei Dong’s voice of surprise could be heard from afar.

"Really out," Bai Xiao thought to himself.

He looked down at his fists, the knuckles red and slightly bleeding.

It was due to the intense outbreak and the severity of his exertion.

It took several minutes of bombardment to break through that barrier, didn’t it?

No, it wasn’t broken through, rather it seemed like the membrane had run out of energy.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and walked towards the interior of the villa.

His gaze fell forward, showing a large amount of professional experience.

[Your profession ’Bodyguard’, experience +120!]

[Your profession ’Bodyguard’, has reached the limit!]

[Your skill ’Protecting Employer’, experience +30!]

[Your skill ’Protecting Employer’, has reached the limit!]

That was the rich reward from this encounter.

The mastermind behind it all wasn’t targeting Wei Dong, but during the fight, Bai Xiao effectively saw Wei Dong as a weak point to exploit.

Attacking Wei Dong with the four-meter Muscle Giant Bird made Bai Xiao unable to defend himself.

This precisely met the conditions for the Bodyguard profession.

Thus, in a short time, Bai Xiao gained hundreds of experience points.

Finally, whether it was the profession itself or the professional skills, he had pushed them to their limits. Now it was time for him to reap the rewards.

In his field of vision, a faint red light flickered.

[Profession: Bodyguard LV.3 (∞/∞)]

(Extractable)

[Skill 1: Protecting Employer LV.3 (∞/∞)]

(Extractable)

Bai Xiao’s gaze locked onto the extractable sign, concentrating hard.

Suddenly, the Dark Red Modifier popped up.

A mysterious force enveloped the Bodyguard profession entirely.

The status bar blurred and a large amount of experience was quickly extracted.

In a few breaths, the dark red glow gradually faded.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 9]

Bai Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Beyond that, the Martial Artist profession had also made gains.

The profession itself, along with several Cultivation Techniques, all earned various degrees of experience. All together, it could save several potential points.

After a moment, he walked into the villa.

Everything was as usual; there was no Muscle Giant Bird corpse, nor the damage caused by his own outburst. The body of the robed figure was also gone.

It seemed to be left forever in that deeper world?

Ten o’clock at night.

Wei Dong, having had a scare, left Bai Xiao’s new home.

He felt too weak and like he would only hold Bai Xiao back.

But Bai Xiao did not mind.

Brother Dong would always be his treasure... his good brother!

However, seeing Wei Dong’s self-reproaching demeanour, Bai Xiao couldn’t help but wonder if there was a way to bestow strength upon others. Whether as a Biological Mecha Master or Martial Artist, were there methods to transform his own power into a transcendent seed and pass it onto ordinary people?

Of course, his thoughts were not for charity.

It was through the battles with the Horror Bird Organization, Evolution Land, or the Heavenly God Company, Bai Xiao gradually felt that having a fighting force serving him would make many things much simpler.
