Chapter 360: 183 Fighting Tournament Begins, Individual Gains_2

Streams of air were continually being sucked out of the human face, being absorbed.

"Xing Lie..."

Bai Xiao finally felt that this face resembled someone’s face.

"Is this about plundering Xing Lie’s fear to nourish the Magic Bird Secret Scripture?"

He muttered to himself, revealing the function of the Magic Bird Secret Scripture.

Fight against formidable opponents, defeat them! If the opponent’s spirit will is too weak and is influenced by Bai Xiao’s fear magnetic field, a demon seed will be planted!

Once he has a certain number and quality of demon seeds, the Magic Bird Secret Scripture can be enhanced, thereby bringing more effects to Bai Xiao.

"This secret scripture is even more bizarre than I imagined..."

While he was reflecting, at the side door of the Fiery Fire Stadium, the Gale Iron Slash Fist personnel, who had been waiting, had already left the scene one by one. After the individual competition in this Martial Arts Exchange Conference, it was mostly over, and the team competition would definitely be canceled. The sect’s elders, who were the organizers, went on stage to attack the contestants, resulting in Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall losing all dignity, unable to lift their heads for a while.

Many sects also began to leave, planning to return to their own territory.

"Tap tap tap..."

Members of the Fierce Bird Sect began to disembark from their vehicles, walking towards the Gale Iron Slash Fist.

"Thank you, Master Qiu!"

Bai Xiao took the lead, directly performing a disciple’s salute to the vice sect leader of the Gale Iron Slash Fist, expressing his gratitude. Vice Sect Master Qiu acting as the referee and stopping the vice hall master of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall, Luo Yan, was a great help. This allowed him to achieve the record of defeating three elders of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall alone.

"No worries, it’s part of the job, after all, I’m the referee. Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall blatantly violated the arena rules; the two finalists had yet to determine the winner before they attempted to intervene in the match results, something I absolutely cannot allow..." Vice Sect Master Qiu nodded and addressed the Fierce Bird Sect and Bai Xiao.

Next, the two parties exchanged pleasantries, primarily between Chen Liao and Vice Sect Master Qiu, clearly hinting at future friendly interactions.

"Bai Xiao..."

Suddenly, as he stood on the side listening, Bai Xiao heard someone calling his name. Turning his head, he saw Ding Yang, the core fighter of the Gale Iron Slash Fist, being carried on a stretcher by two elite disciples. He looked weak and was injured.

Yet he still had a smile on his face as he spoke to Bai Xiao.

"Awesome, Xing Lie was no match for you at all, I heard you even defeated three elders of Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall! In two days at the Dark World Combat Competition, Huaisui City’s first-place martial artist will undoubtedly be you, no need to think about it..."

"Thank you for your kind words." Bai Xiao smiled.

"I wish you achieve a higher ranking in the combat competition. I heard from a friend that this year’s Dark World Combat Competition is a little different from the past. The level of attention and support it will receive may be unprecedented! Of course, this year’s competition also has seen an emergence of a lot of talent. If possible, the more dazzling your performance, the better..."

After exchanging a few more words with Bai Xiao, Ding Yang was then carried onto the vehicle.

After a round of talks between Gale Iron Slash Fist and Fierce Bird Sect, they each went their separate ways.

...

At six o’clock in the evening, a private gym.

Bai Xiao looked at the training plan in his left hand, pen in right hand, beginning to check off each item on the list. Meanwhile, in the brightly lit gym, Brother Dong was sweating profusely, gritting his teeth in determination. He wore a tight training suit, striking a standard combat pose, moving his feet back and forth, punching outwards.

He appeared to be diligent and resolute.

During this time, Bai Xiao had taken note of Wei Dong’s hard work; it seemed Wei Dong truly enjoyed Combat Skills. He could have taken the easy route with access to the Mechanical Armor, but no, Wei Dong insisted on training a robust body. Bai Xiao nodded approvingly, especially since he himself majored in Martial Arts for the same reason. Other systems were ultimately externalities, limited and flawed, creating distance!

Only Martial Arts, training both body and spirit, stemmed from self-derived strength, strength from within. Absolutely dependable!

However, during today’s training session, Bai Xiao asked Wei Dong why he was practicing Martial Arts. He expected an answer similar to his own belief, but to his surprise, Wei Dong replied with firmness that practicing Martial Arts should make one last longer. Bai Xiao’s face darkened, and he almost began a devilish extra training regime.

He shouldn’t have harbored hope for Brother Dong...

Originally, Bai Xiao thought about building a solid foundation for Wei Dong, so if he wanted to start his own sect and take disciples in the future, Wei Dong could become his first disciple. Now it seemed, it warranted consideration, since this guy was not very serious.

As time trickled by, something flashed before Bai Xiao’s eyes.

Professional information rapidly scrolled at the bottom of his vision.

"Finally..."

He focused, taking a closer look.

[Your skill "Guidance in Various Fist Combat Skills", experience +20!]

[Your skill "Guidance in Various Fist Combat Skills", has reached the limit!]

[Your skill "Execute Combat Fitness Plan", experience +38!]

[Your skill "Execute Combat Fitness Plan" has reached its limit!]

The Fighting Coach profession has finally made a new breakthrough. During this period, Brother Dong primarily practiced on his own, consistently executing the combat fitness plan designed by Bai Xiao. It is this that allowed both professions to make breakthroughs today.

He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping down below.

[Skill 1: Multifarious Punching and Combat Guidance LV.3 (∞/∞)]

(Available for extraction)

[Skill 2: Execute Combat Fitness Plan LV.3 (∞/∞)]

(Available for extraction)

The dark red extraction markers captured all of Bai Xiao’s attention.

After a moment of silence, he immediately used the Dark Red Modifier.

"Dark Red, extract!"

Instantly, a hazy and vague sensation enveloped the two professions of the fighting coach. The abundant experience that had been raised to the limit was continuously extracted, transformed into a certain mysterious energy within the Dark Red Modifier.

His vision cleared, a flash of red light appeared.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 15]

Six potential points gained, a fairly decent harvest.

However, it’s still not enough to enhance Bai Xiao’s Copper Statue Technique or the Fierce Bird Secret Technique.

[Skill: Copper Statue Skill Three Layers (198/1000)]

Due to the exchange during the Martial Arts Exchange Conference, and sparring with Fu Xue, the core member of Echo Sword, Bai Xiao’s extraordinary intelligence allowed for new progress in the Copper Statue Technique. Thus, the experience points for the technique surged by nearly two hundred after that battle.

Yet, even so, it requires sixteen potential points to level up.

Still short by some...

He sighed inwardly in disappointment, as he originally wanted to attempt to take the Copper Statue Technique to a new tier above the limit, combined with the reverberating power of the copper bell.

To see whether the resulting rebound force could reach a monstrous level.

It seems he would have to wait a while longer now...

Bai Xiao quickly collected his thoughts and shifted his attention back to Wei Dong, who was catching his breath beside him. He touched his palm to the hilt of his weapon, pondering for a moment.

In the end, Bai Xiao made a decision.

Considering the many professions activated through Brother Dong...

"Brother Dong, stop for a second."

He put down the training schedule and gestured.

Wei Dong, who was wiping off sweat with a towel, immediately came over and took the mineral water Bai Xiao handed to him, standing and stabilizing his heartbeat.

"Brother Dong, you’re training well, first establish a solid foundation. To delve deeper into the practice of powerful combat skills, a good foundation is indispensable."
