Chapter 377: Settle earnings and enhance combat power!

City-level Dark World Fighting Tournament’s final match ended at this moment.

Bai Xiao got what he wanted as he wished.

His gaze quietly focused on what was in front of him.

The personal panel of a Dark World Fighting Tournament competitor clearly displayed:

[Quest: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 691)]

There were nine rounds in total, he achieved a complete victory in all rounds, and his performance was undeniably overwhelming and dominant, with a significant gap from his opponents. Hence, the experience gained from the bounty quest also reached the highest level within the allowed range.

The only pity was, he fell short by nine points of making it a round seven hundred. However, extracting 650 points of experience would still bring Bai Xiao a total of thirteen potential points. One must know, this was only the beginning, and what he had conquered was merely a minor Huaisui City Dark World Fighting Tournament, with provincial, eastern, and national competitions still to come.

With the overall enhancement in the quality of the competitors, it was expected that the experience Bai Xiao would gain from each battle would be much more substantial compared to the City-level Dark World Fighting Tournament.

He would never let go of such a rare opportunity to score points...

His thoughts shifted and Bai Xiao quickly focused his attention.

"Dark Red!"

He softly shouted in his heart, and suddenly a bright red light filled his vision.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 5]

"Let’s first extract and settle the earnings from the first phase of the competition."

Bai Xiao thought.

The professional panel of the fighting tournament competitor instantly entered a blurry state enveloped by mist, the surface slightly vibrating. Inside, black numbers were rapidly decreasing and transforming into some mysterious energy.

In less than half a breath’s time.

Everything in front of his eyes became clear again.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 18]

Bai Xiao’s lips slightly curved up, feeling pleased inside. He quickly shifted his gaze to the Secret Martial Arts Expert profession, could it be improved already?

[Skill: Fierce Bird Secret Technique Third Transition (108/1000)]

As expected.

With enough potential points, converting them into experience, it was just enough for a breakthrough.

"Fierce Bird Third Transition, Water Sky Form, is a technique that uses the energy of spirit, energy, and mind to intimidate others. Strictly speaking though Water Sky Form, although capable of single-target attacks, is obviously better at dealing with multiple opponents. Whereas Fierce Bird’s Fourth Transformation is a tremendously powerful single-target attack!"

"In the entire Fierce Bird Sect, only the Sect Leader Yan Qi has fully mastered..."

"Fourth Transformation, Water Bird Soaring."

"It can also be called Water Bird Form, but the full name is Water Bird Soaring..."

"It captures the aesthetic of a white water bird swooping down from the sky, wings spread wide, claws lightly skimming the water’s surface, capable of grasping a silverfish. But in reality, while this move seems elegant, it is actually brutal. When the user’s arms transform to spread the wings of the water bird during flight, touch leads to injury, contact leads to death, resulting in a bloody scene like evisceration. Once unleashed, it can’t be stopped; it must draw blood. Moreover, this move places an immense strain on the arms..."

"Only those with strong physiques can execute it."

Chen Liao’s description of Fierce Bird’s Fourth Transition continued to echo in Bai Xiao’s mind.

"If I could master Water Bird Soaring soon, I’d have an incredibly powerful trump card for single-target attacks. In later matches of the Dark World Fighting Tournament, there will definitely be geniuses and prodigies with bizarre, unpredictable secret techniques and top-tier Secret Martial arts, I must be prepared with a game-changing move..."

He thought inwardly.

With his focus restored, Bai Xiao glanced at another reward, the Champion’s quest was also completed for the first stage. However, now was not the convenient moment for selection at the arena, it would have to wait until he returned to the Fierce Bird Sect Headquarters.

On the alloy ring covered with dark red rubber.

The black-clad chief referee stood in the middle, separating the quietly standing Bai Xiao and the staggeringly fallen He Xiang, their contrasting calm and panicked emotions creating a stark difference. In a corner of the ring, He Xiang’s eyes, pin-sized pupils now finally recovering, his mind still replaying that ferocious fist rapidly enlarging in front of him, imbued with a breath of fear crashing down.

It was a close call, he almost died!

All of He Xiang’s defiance was shattered ruthlessly in an instant. From his triumphant rise after defeating Xing Lie of Fiery Fire Martial Hall, to his current lamentable state akin to a drowning dog, the entire process took less than half a minute.

The passion inspired by his master’s ideals, just ignited, had yet to unleash its cosmos, was extinguished by Bai Xiao’s hand.

"Ding!"

Huai Water Gymnasium, all speakers simultaneously rang out from every direction.

A formal announcement was made.

"This year, the champion of the Huaisui City Dark World Fighting Tournament is..."

"Fierce Bird Sect, Bai Xiao!"

The voice that came through the broadcast was that of an old man, Bai Xiao felt it somewhat familiar, and after a moment he remembered it was An Junhai, the president of the Martial Arts Association.

Immediately, an uproarious sound began spreading like an infection throughout the interior of the gymnasium. The densely packed audience released shouts and cheers of joy. Those who had stood up at the moment of deciding the victor excitedly sat down again, their faces showing utterly satisfied expressions.

"Awesome! So thrilling!!!"

Someone swung their fist, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth.

"This time, it’s truly worth the ticket price!"

Someone’s eyes reddened with excitement.

"Was He Xiang almost killed by Bai Xiao just now? If it wasn’t for the referee intervening...He Xiang’s head would have probably exploded, right?"
