Chapter 363: 185 Dark World Fighting Championship

Now, his willpower attribute has already reached fifty-four points.

Moreover, according to Chen Liao, there is still a slow enhancement effect for a period after consuming the Blood Core. Bai Xiao estimates that his attribute points could increase by one or two more points thereafter. Wouldn’t his willpower attribute then surpass his speed attribute, no longer being the lowest?

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

At this moment, his skin seemed like magnified receptors, unilaterally absorbing information transmitted from the environment. His mind was noticeably more agile, feeling refreshing and clear.

Practicing in this state would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort.

This was another effect that came with the Blood Core.

Bai Xiao sat cross-legged on the spot and after getting used to it for a while, he still did not stand up. He calmly collected himself and began to seriously operate the Demon Bird Secret Book. An invisible ripple-like fluctuation, mysterious and intense, spread out.

Emanating forcefully from within Bai Xiao’s body, it transformed into a dense and dark shadow, spreading its relentless claws and tendrils without restraint.

Soon, it completely enveloped an area of the Martial Arts Arena.

The air there twisted slightly, carrying a kind of ominous aura.

If an ordinary person approached and carelessly entered, they would be paralyzed on the spot the next second, suffering from cardiac arrest, Qi-Blood reversal, incontinence, and so forth, ending their life then and there. Even if they were a Secret Martial Artist, while they might not be scared to death on the spot, their brains would likely go blank instantly.

The dominance of the fear magnetic field was too strong, enough to affect others’ minds. Compared to before absorbing the Blood Core, the field’s intensity had increased by at least thirty percent. Bai Xiao could feel the obvious improvement of this passive Secret Martial skill.

"I can’t use this in front of ordinary people; otherwise, the huge disparity in willpower will cause the fear magnetic field to receive an astonishing relative boost. Having the fear magnetic field active is like having an aura of slaughter. If one person plunges into a crowd, without doing anything, where I go, the people there would be scared to death..."

He muttered to himself, reaching a conclusion.

The Magic Bird Secret Scripture is just like this; the associated effects are so sinister.

"If I could have another Blood Core, by then, the gap between my willpower attribute and others’ would reach a freakish level. I’m afraid that even as Secret Martial Artists, if they don’t practice any mental techniques, they would be intimidated on the spot. Like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless to resist..."

Bai Xiao slowly stood up, expressing a regretful sigh in his heart.

However, having another one was obviously impossible.

The Blood Core is very precious and can be used to produce Blood Salt in batches. Looking at the long-term, consuming Blood Cores is akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, lowering the overall gains for the sect. Of course, for individuals, a one-time increase of ten spirit attribute points is thrilling. The Fierce Bird Sect only has three of the lowest quality Blood Cores.

In order to help Bai Xiao achieve better results in the Dark World martial arts competition.

One Blood Core was given to him to consume.

If the remaining two were also given away, it wouldn’t meet the normal Blood Salt supply for the disciples within the sect. Therefore, Bai Xiao’s desire is momentarily unattainable.

Nevertheless, it’s said that at the Dark World martial arts competition, there will be many desirable items. Since the event is backed by the Martial Arts Association and various top-level sects, the sponsorship is quite generous. City level, provincial level, Eastern region, and finally the national level, reaching certain ranks will earn competition rewards.

Blood Cores are also among the prize list.

Moreover, it’s not just the lowest quality; there may be possibilities for medium and high quality, even supreme quality ones. Of course, it should be noted that the effects of consuming Blood Cores multiple times will diminish. It isn’t possible that after eating five more, Bai Xiao’s willpower attribute will break a hundred. There would certainly be significant improvement from subsequent consumptions, but it definitely wouldn’t surge dramatically. He was very clear about that in his heart.

Perhaps, only those secret martial geniuses from top-level sects could consume Blood Cores like sunflower seeds. Bai Xiao doesn’t have such abundant resources, but it doesn’t matter. They rely on pills while I resort to tricks. Ordinary people walk on the path of Secret Martial Arts while top sect geniuses run, but Bai Xiao doesn’t use legs; he directly takes flight!

"To push the Copper Statue Technique to the limit, I’m just two experience points and one potential point away. There are still two days left until the Dark World martial arts competition; that’s plenty of time."

He took steps forward, arriving at the western side of the headquarters under the white moonlight.

This is a training room, a standard chamber. Iron supports hung from the ceiling with ancient, mid-sized copper bells, thick and sturdy. The bronze exterior seemed to be carved with Taotie patterns, with little space between each other.

"I’ll use this place to fill in the remaining two experience points."

Bai Xiao stood at the doorway, murmuring to himself.

Normally, if he went to find an Elder of the Fierce Bird Sect for a battle, it would be a bit quicker. All he needed to do was keep using the Copper Statue Technique and just defend. However, the Elders of the Fierce Bird Sect were all injured. If they were further harmed by the increasing rebound force from the technique, the situation would not be good.

So, it’s better for him to put in a bit more effort himself.

Bai Xiao’s gaze slightly hardened, as he stepped into the chamber.

"Ding ding ding ding..."

The continuous sound of the bells clashing went on for nearly an hour.

The wavelike sounds disrupted the air, causing the corners of the chamber to shed plumes of white dust. The surrounding area trembled and the insects in the soil and crevices scurried away in panic, like ants evacuating. It was as if they had detected an earthquake frequency.
