Chapter 301: 155 Professional Sublimation, Secret Martial Arts Expert!_2

"Enhancement 2: Self-healing Ability (When you are injured, your cellular metabolism rate will rapidly increase, gradually producing a faint ability for the cells to heal themselves. And as time goes on, the self-healing ability will grow stronger.)"

"Enhancement 3: Copper Wall and Iron Wall (When you practice Hard Skill and elevate it to its unbreakable limit, there is a certain chance of breaking through that limit. As a result, entering a new level beyond the extreme of Hard Skill.)"

"Enhancement 4: Power is King (Immediately gain eight points of strength.)"

"Enhancement 5: Hunger Constitution (Continuous eating has a chance to slowly and faintly enhance physique attributes, gaining strength with persistence.)"

In total, there were five occupational enhancements, among which enhancements 1, 2, 5, all bestow the body itself with some kind of special ability. Enhancement 4, simply brute-forces a substantial increase in the four-dimensional attributes. As for enhancement 3, it is related to practicing secret martial arts.

Bai Xiao quickly scanned his eyes over them, finally resting his gaze on 3.

First off, he felt that enhancement 4 was unnecessary. Bai Xiao’s strength attribute was already close to sixty, and even adding eight points wouldn’t cause an exaggerated qualitative change. Besides, eight attribute points could only improve a secret martial art one or two times. It might be chosen for a short-term emergency, but it’s not cost-effective in the long term.

Secondly, Bai Xiao wasn’t quite certain about the effects and uses of enhancements 1, 2, 5. For example, the Hunger Constitution – even though it’s said that persistent eating could slowly increase physique attributes, the degree of this slowness is a big question. It shouldn’t turn out that after a year or a half, the increase in attributes he gained was not even as much as the attribute points he would have gotten by leveling up a secret martial art to perfection.

The self-healing ability was similar.

The Mind’s Eye, on the other hand, seemed quite nice and should be quite effective in battle.

But Bai Xiao thought it still wasn’t as good as enhancement 3.

Copper Wall and Iron Wall, useful for all Hard Skills!

Able to step into a new level above the limit of Hard Skill.

It’s like elevating the levels of secret martial arts!

After fully entering the world of secret martial arts, he had already found that he was quite suitable for Horizontal Training of Hard Skills. He liked to overpower opponents with sheer physique and strength, devouring them whole! It was an overbearing and unreasonable method.

And the occupational enhancement of Copper Wall and Iron Wall.

Would make Bai Xiao even more fierce! Even tougher! Even more dominant!

Jiao Jin Net, Giant Stone Technique, Red Elephant Skill, Copper Statue Technique...

All seemed to have the chance to evolve, to reach an unprecedented realm.

Not to mention if he were to practice more Hard Skills later on.

In Bai Xiao’s view, Copper Wall and Iron Wall suited his style best.

He fell silent for a moment, focusing his attention.

"Choose three!"

Bai Xiao’s thoughts moved, and he instantly received the occupational enhancement that belonged to him.

Suddenly, the Enhancement 3 Copper Wall and Iron Wall option flickered faintly.

On the entire interface, the other four enhancement options disappeared in an instant.

Leaving only Copper Wall and Iron Wall as the sole survivor.

Hum!

His brain trembled, as some kind of change was happening rapidly.

Copper Wall and Iron Wall quickly integrated into Bai Xiao’s body, bringing about a massive change.

In the secret chamber, the scent of Concentration Incense lingered.

A tall, injured silhouette sat quietly with crossed legs.

However, he suddenly closed his eyes, and his shoulders trembled, his muscles rolling like surging waves up and down. A scorching body temperature radiated.

It was some time before he opened his eyes.

A sharp light flashed in Bai Xiao’s pitch-black pupils, and he looked at the panel without hesitation.

Occupational skills had indeed changed.

[Skill: Giant Stone Technique Giant Stone Realm (0/600)]+

[Skill: Red Elephant Skill Red Skin Level (0/800)]+

[Skill: Jiao Jin Net Jiao Jin Realm (0/800)]+

The limit signs were gone, replaced by a plus sign at the end.

The plus sign meant that these skills could still be improved.

Bai Xiao’s gaze was glowing with intensity. He looked at these three skills, but he didn’t focus all his attention on them; instead, he suddenly looked at something else.

[Burst State: Hundred Python Swallowing Elephant]

[Conditions: 1. Giant Stone Technique Perfection √, 2. Red Elephant Skill Perfection √, 3. Jiao Jin Net Perfection √]

One of Bai Xiao’s trump cards, the Hundred Python Swallowing Elephant, was composed of these three Hard Skills. If the basic three Hard Skills were to undergo an extreme sublimation, then would the Burst State Hundred Python Swallowing Elephant also continue to improve?

If it would.

Bai Xiao’s full-powered outburst would receive a terrifying enhancement!

His breathing became heavy, sensing that this matter could be very promising.

His gaze swept over the Dark Red Modifier, enough potential points available.

Let’s do this!

Bai Xiao immediately rose to his feet and left the secret room for the medicinal materials warehouse.

Along the way, he encountered some injured disciples heading in the same direction, probably to fetch medicinal materials too. The Fierce Bird Sect had suffered heavy losses this time. However, what surprised Bai Xiao was that the Fierce Bird Sect disciples he met showed him great respect, greeting him as ’senior brother’ out of their own initiative. The admiration in their eyes was genuine.

It was probably because his performance in the great battle had been witnessed by all, defending against foreign enemies for the Fierce Bird Sect, revealing his strength, and making a remarkable contribution.

Half an hour passed.

Bai Xiao retrieved a large pile of medicinal materials he wanted and moved them into the large hall outside the secret room. Since these were for cultivation purposes, they were not as sought after as healing medicines. He easily obtained all of the materials.

Because these three Hard Skills were meant to break limits and ascend to a higher level.

So, to be safe, Bai Xiao added several times the quantity of medicinal bath ingredients, preventing any chance of insufficiency leading to failure during the enhancement process.

Time ticked away, second by second.

Deep into the night, a pale moon peeked through the clouds in the dark sky.

Through the hazy mist,

thin moonlight fell on the steaming medicinal water in the secret room,

giving the surface of the water a shimmering, wave-like effect.

Bai Xiao stood in the center of the secret room, his chest heaving, quietly regulating his breathing. Bit by bit, he calmed his state, stabilizing his blood and Qi.

A good while passed before the thunderous sound from his nostrils finally dissipated.

Bai Xiao opened his eyes and stripped off all his clothes.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward and immersed himself completely into the barrel.

He allowed the medicine from all directions to soak through him. A pungent medicinal scent diffused in the air, not unpleasant, but with an odd smell that wasn’t particularly pleasant either. Familiar tingling sensations arose from the surface of his skin.

Bai Xiao’s gaze fixed straight ahead, locking onto the Secret Martial Arts Expert occupation.

Behind the three Hard Skills, red plus signs glowed faintly,

like hungry fledglings with their mouths wide open, awaiting to be fed.

Bai Xiao calculated for a moment; to raise these three Secret Martial Arts to their limits again would require a total of forty-four potential points. Of course, he had enough, but he was slightly concerned about whether his body could withstand it.

It should be okay.

In that case...

"Dark Red, show me the limit of this body!"

Bai Xiao’s pupils flared red, and a mysterious force instantly enveloped the Secret Martial Arts Expert occupation. The potential points in the Dark Red Modifier plummeted, continuously transforming into surging power, pouring into the three Hard Skills, advancing them further.

Suddenly, the three skills flickered, enveloped in a mist.

Mysterious and powerful fluctuations that could turn decay into magic compressed what would normally require decades of training into a single moment.

In front of him, the occupation panel quickly displayed experience information.

[Your occupation ’Secret Martial Arts Expert’, experience +275!]

[Your skill ’Giant Stone Technique Giant Stone Realm’, experience +600!]

[Skill ’Giant Stone Technique Giant Stone Realm’ has elevated to ’Solid Rock Realm’!]

...

[Your skill ’Red Elephant Skill Red Skin Level’, experience +800!]

[Skill ’Red Elephant Skill Red Skin Level’ has advanced to ’Wild Elephant Level’!]

...

[Your skill ’Jiao Jin Net Jiao Jin Realm’, experience +800!]

[Skill ’Jiao Jin Net Jiao Jin Realm’ has progressed to ’Dragon Tendon Realm’!]

All three Hard Skills had been enhanced, reaching their limits under the fierce support of a huge amount of potential points. Bai Xiao immediately felt as if his body was a bottomless abyss, voraciously absorbing the medicinal strength around him.

Even forming a visible vortex within the barrel.

At the same time, before his eyes,

the Burst State Hundred Python Swallowing Elephant was undergoing some unknown change!
