Chapter 411: 208 cannon pace quadruple, blast you!

Bai Xiao believed that with his peerless talent and astonishing wisdom, he could push a cultivation technique like the Cannon Step to its limit, even without relying on external aids. However, the Dark Red Modifier merely expedited this process. Bai Xiao felt that attributing everything to the Dark Red Modifier was an exaggeration.

Of course, since the Dark Red Modifier did provide him assistance, it was not excessive to give it some credit. Bai Xiao had no objections to this.

"Dark Red!"

As his mind willed it, his attention fully focused on the modifier.

Suddenly, the potential points imbued with a mysterious energy transformed into an intangible flow of Qi, continuously pouring into the Secret Martial Arts Expert’s career panel.

This caused the display to flicker and blur for a moment, like an old television screen with a refresh rate that’s not high enough.

This condition lasted for about two or three breaths.

Until a red light swept over, and a large amount of information refreshed before his eyes.

[Your career ’Secret Martial Arts Expert’, experience +75!]

[Your skill ’Cannon Step’, experience +600!]

[Your skill ’Cannon Step Two-fold’, upgraded to ’Three-fold’!]

Suddenly, Bai Xiao felt his legs heating up as if the surrounding air had formed a furnace that continued to bake him. The room was well soundproofed and very quiet, such that he could faintly hear the sizzling sound of his flesh and the slow strengthening of his bones.

As time passed, his legs became hotter and hotter, billows of steam-like white mist rose through the fabric of his trousers, ascending into the air. Layers of invisible fluid secreted out, penetrating the muscles and bones, and were continuously absorbed. Gradually, the area became tougher than steel.

"Shua."

Bai Xiao suddenly stood up, his knees slightly bent, his feet positioned left and right in a horse stance. His arms crossed, lifted forward, his entire back arched.

A stance full of dynamic tension and sturdiness.

At the location of the Dantian, the Qi-Blood was exceedingly hot, the barely visible Blood Pill suspended therein was rotating rapidly, continuously channeling surges of fiery robust Qi-Blood downwards. Due to the excessive flow in a short time, the flesh under his skin on his feet felt a violently chaotic pain, along with a numbing trembling sensation.

This was the normal stance for practicing Cannon Step.

It helped the cultivator continuously guide and rush the Qi-Blood towards the legs.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, his body began to rise and fall like the waves at sea, as if he were riding on a galloping horse across the grasslands.

This process lasted for five minutes.

His freshly bathed body excreted a bit of sweat again, making his solid and elastic muscles coated with a layer of light honey hue.

A message popped up before his eyes.

[Skill: Cannon Step Three-fold (1/800)]+

Instantly, Bai Xiao stood firm again, the hot air flow between his mouth and nose slowly expelled. He slightly closed his eyes, and many details on how to use Cannon Step entered his mind. For instance, the muscular techniques when exerting force instantaneously, how to form a cannon-like muscular memory, partial explosive Whip Leg, and knee top applications. At this moment, Bai Xiao seemed like he had practiced the cultivation technique for years.

He knew everything inside out about the Cannon Step.

"Very good..."

He reopened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.

"Continue!"

With a thought from Bai Xiao, a rapid flash of dark red light passed.

Ten minutes later, in a room on the eighth floor of the Hualili Hotel.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling window with a view of the city’s night landscape.

A buff figure tying a towel, his lower body enveloped in searing white vapor. The sole of his shoes crackling, the light white tiles where he stood mysteriously cracked, fine lines spreading in all directions.

Within this pair of legs as strong as steel, there seemed to be an immense power, unbeknownst and accumulating. Like the ropes that tied down a massive cruise, already tightened to the limit.

Once broken, it could turn the people nearby into bloody mist.

"I’ve reached the limit..."

Bai Xiao murmured.

Before his eyes, another line of information flashed quickly.

[Your career ’Secret Martial Arts Expert’, experience +100!]

[Your skill ’Cannon Step’, experience +800!]

[Your skill ’Cannon Step Three-fold’, upgraded to ’Four-fold’!]

"Fourth-fold acceleration, even if it’s just a straightforward distance, should be enough to handle most agile fighters," his gaze slightly lowered.

[Skill: Cannon Step Four-fold (∞/∞)]

"According to the secret manual, when Cannon Step reaches the fourth-tier realm, it’s as if there are two kegs of gunpowder stored in the legs. Once ignited, the whole person is truly blasted out like a cannon, providing me with a moment of astonishing straight line speed..."

"But, the side effects are not small, the gunpowder kegs in both feet exploding, each use will cause damage. Even with a physique like mine, it’s not feasible to frequently use the fourth level in battle. Otherwise, after the burst, there will be a period of weakness in my legs..." Bai Xiao recalled the information in his mind.

That was still under the scenario where he had a Blood Pill level, capable of continuously repairing the damage to his feet. Normal cultivators would not be able to handle several bursts of Cannon Step.

Half an hour later, Bai Xiao took another shower, then dressed in brand-new clothes, and went down to the hotel restaurant, where he indulged in a hearty meal alone.

His body energy and nutrition gradually recovered, revealing the augmented effects slowly.
