Chapter 285: 148 Moment of Battle Enhancement, Various Parties Gather!

Arrows streaking like meteors turned into terrifying black lines!

One hit the ground first, instantly triggering a violent explosion. Flame roared and expanded, and dirt splattered. The crater it formed was nearly the size of a house.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The next second, the horrifying stone arrows fell upon the Evil Ghost Owl.

His eyes nearly burst from their sockets as he struggled with all his might, but it was all in vain. By the time the first arrow struck the Evil Ghost Owl, it was already too late. Boom! The flames exploded with terrifying kinetic energy, and the contained power blasted open.

With a crack, a thin layer of black membrane completely shattered, disintegrating on the spot.

The Evil Ghost Owl was instantly enveloped in scarlet flames, his vision went dark, and he didn’t even have time to scream or alter his emotions before he was completely consumed by exploding fireballs. The area where he was located was blown to bits by the barrage of arrows, resembling a bombed-out zone.

Not far away, the ground trembled, and Bai Xiao felt numbness in his feet.

He silently looked towards the spot where the Evil Ghost Owl had been blown away.

After two rounds of shooting, the ground was riddled with holes and pockmarks. The edges of the dirt holes emitted black smoke, and carried the scent of blood being vaporized.

As for the Evil Ghost Owl, it seemed nothing was left of him, not even ashes.

This was Bai Xiao’s home-field advantage.

Due to his previous experiences, he knew that approaching this gray city would trigger extremely powerful archer fire. Thus, when the Evil Ghost Owl was blasted in that direction by the Totem Giant, he experienced a warm welcome of artillery fire, leaving not even his ashes behind. His final death was nothing short of tragic.

Of course, even without the soldier statues drawing their bows, Bai Xiao would still have been able to handle the Evil Ghost Owl. The opponent was already at the end of his tether, left only with a despairing fight. It might have caused some trouble, but the outcome would remain unchanged.

The arrows of the soldier statues merely saved him a bit of effort.

"I wonder what exactly is inside this majestic and grand city?"

Bai Xiao stood in place. He looked from afar at the thick wall and the mysterious, enormous buildings lined up behind the city wall.

He felt nightmares and a vast unknown waiting to be explored.

Moments later, he snapped back to reality and adjusted his breathing.

His muscular inverted-triangle body bore numerous densely packed scars. Claw marks, blood holes, and fist marks were all brutal proofs of the fierce battles just fought. Likewise, they were medals of the brave and victorious, only owned by those who ultimately survived and triumphed in battle. Bai Xiao’s combat strength had thoroughly been tested in real combat!

He had encountered two Evil Ghosts and endured two fierce battles.

Ultimately, he had overpowered his formidable enemies, handing in an almost perfect report card.

It might have been an illusion...

At this moment, even though Bai Xiao felt the weakness and deficit in his power, the soreness and weakness in his muscles, in his heart, there lay an indescribable strong aura slowly forming, a barely discernible sense of an invincible belief emerging.

This aura was still very faint, almost nonexistent. It required continuous victories to strengthen, with the defeats of numerous powerful foes as offerings.

Until eventually, a tipping point was reached and it ignited into a sweeping momentum.

To overwhelm everything.

...

He took a short rest on the spot.

Bai Xiao quietly watched ahead, shifting his focus to the experience gained from his profession. The recent life-and-death battles were tough and extremely dangerous.

Reflected in the Martial Artist profession, that meant substantial experience.

[Your profession ’Martial Artist’, experience +601!]

In a moment’s work, the progress bar of level four in the Martial Artist profession surged significantly. After all, the opponent was an Evil Ghost, comparable to an Elder in the Fierce Bird Sect.

Having killed two Evil Ghosts suddenly, could the experience be low?

Additionally, other skills of the Martial Artist profession also improved. Given the current situation, the Copper Statue Technique didn’t rely on potential points, and the progress bar was already more than half-filled. This, indeed, saved Bai Xiao much in future enhancements.

His gaze shifted, now directed towards the Martial Arts Association Member profession.

There also awaited a substantial amount of experience to be reviewed.

[Your profession ’Martial Arts Association Member’, experience +310!]

[Your skill ’Combatting Dangerous Organizations’, experience +371!]

[Your skill ’Combatting Dangerous Organizations’, advanced to LV.3!]

His gaze moved down and gradually stopped.

[Skill: Combatting Dangerous Organizations LV.3 (6/600)]

(Withdrawable)

A dark red marker suddenly appeared below the skill.

Bai Xiao’s attention was instantly drawn to it, his eyes flickering.

He concentrated without hesitation and gently tapped the withdrawable marker.

Hum...

A hazy mist enveloped the Martial Artist panel.

In an instant, a massive amount of experience was drawn out, converting into mysterious and inscrutable potential points. The display flashed red as the numbers slowly climbed.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 4]

If it were a normal time, it would be a bit little.

Completely incomparable to the last time, which was thirty-eight potential points.

But in front of Bai Xiao at this moment, it was just right.

[Skill: Copper Statue Technique First Layer (203/400)]+

Behind the Copper Statue Technique, a plus sign emitted a faint dark red glow.

Yes, Bai Xiao wanted to add points.

Not because of the temporary increase in combat strength or attributes.

But rather, for rapid recovery from injuries.

This was an implicit benefit of adding points through the Dark Red Modifier.

At this moment, after numerous fierce battles, even though he had defeated all his enemies, his own condition was also in a very bad state, falling into an unprecedented low. If he couldn’t recover, he might not be able to take more initiative in the upcoming challenges.
