Chapter 419: 212 then used Devourer, the battle of the top eight!

With a single thought, the Biological Mecha Master’s occupational interface appeared before his eyes.

[Skill: Dragonfly Swordsman LV.3 (∞/∞)]

[Skill: Frenzy LV.3 (∞/∞)]

[Skill: Black Sword LV.3 (∞/∞)]

These were the remaining three max-level Biological Armors, among them, Dragonfly Swordsman and Frenzy were both Soldier-level Armors. Black Sword, however, was of the higher Beast-level.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling window, on the gray carpet,

Bai Xiao slowly closed his eyes, feeling the mysterious powers in his body. In an instant, the Devourer talent started to operate slightly, and he suddenly saw a hazy darkness before him. Within the darkness, four differently colored small orbs were neatly aligned. Among them, the blue orb was the largest but dim in color, clearly representing the Wing-level Armor Blue Crystal Fire Demon.

Next to the Blue Crystal Fire Demon, one large and two small, three orbs floated.

The large one was black; of the smaller ones, one gold and one red.

"Let’s begin."

No sooner had this thought formed in his mind than a huge black maw flew out from the darkness beside him, exuding an ominous, preying look.

And at the same time, all over Bai Xiao’s body, his cells felt a strong sense of hunger and desire, as if craving for the nourishment of sweet rain. In his view, the large maw representing the Devourer talent suddenly opened wide!

"Devour for me!"

His will became focused!

Instantly, the gaping maw pounced and bit down, refining in a blink!

Almost in the next second, Bai Xiao’s heart thumped like a bowstring, its rate reaching several times its normal pace. Sweat began to break out all over his body, as waves of searing heat coursed through him, bringing a slight burning sensation. Inside his body, something instantly turned into a nourishing, invisible fluid, disintegrating and cascading through every part of his body in a rustling flow.

Where the liquid touched, be it muscle or fascia, all trembled slightly as if electrified, giving a tingling sensation that spread across his entire body.

[Your ’Dragonfly Swordsman’ has been absorbed by the ’Devourer’!]

A prompt swiftly flashed before his eyes.

But Bai Xiao had no time to pay attention to these, as he could feel the vital energy within him expanding and elevating. The heat and vastness of his body temperature spread across his robust form, enveloping the surrounding area.

The carpet beneath him began to show signs of scorching and emitting white smoke.

Fortunately, before it could truly ignite, Bai Xiao abruptly regained his senses.

A gust of air instantly burst out from his pores, scattering in all directions and forming a ring of wind. This swiftly extinguished the nascent flames.

"I feel like I have strength to spare, once more!"

His resolve hardened again, and he set his gaze on the red orb nearby.

The Devourer talent immediately pounced and swallowed it in one gulp.

As the enhancement scenario replayed, Bai Xiao’s aura, like well-forged steel, became increasingly vigorous and potent.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes, a flash of sharpness within.

An invisible force caused the ground to tremble slightly, the dust in the carpet and on the surrounding ground beginning to float up on their own.

However, this phenomenon lasted only a second before it disappeared.

Another message zipped across his line of sight.

[Your skill ’Frenzy’ has been absorbed by the ’Devourer’!]

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and sensed that his Devourer talent had once again entered a buffering state, needing some time before it could devour the last max-level Armor. He looked down at his clenched, robust hand.

A feeling of extraordinary strength emerged spontaneously.

It was no less powerful than the enhancements brought by multiple improvements to his Secret Martial Arts.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling window, Bai Xiao slowly rose to his feet.

Through the clear glass set against the night’s dark backdrop, his strong and beautiful physique reflected back; every line and contour seemed to express incredible power. His densely packed muscles were more perfect than a sculpture’s.

He glanced at the brightly lit city outside bustling with activity.

Then, he turned and walked into the bathroom.

The sound of falling water echoed as the shower head sprinkled slender streams.

Bai Xiao stood motionless under the cold water, as if a monk meditating under a waterfall, his gaze empty.

[Strength: 89.0→93.7]

[Speed: 77.2→79.1]

[Physique: 95.6→100.0]

[Will: 66.1→67.0]

Strength +4.7, Speed +1.9, Physique +4.4, Will +0.9!

This was the enhancement brought about by devouring two Biological Armors, with the greatest increases in strength and physique, and less so in speed. This was because Dragonfly Swordsman and Frenzy were not speed-focused armors. As for the Will attribute, it increased only slightly, perhaps because the Armors inherently had little effect on willpower enhancement.

Moreover, what Bai Xiao cared about most was that his Physique attribute had finally reached triple digits, a perfect hundred points! This was definitely a breakthrough of milestone significance! When he had just digested the second Biological Armor, he vaguely had a premonition that this breakthrough would have a significant impact on him?

But after a brief sense, Bai Xiao couldn’t tell what impact had occurred.

In the bathroom, he took a quick shower, dried his hair, and sat on the sofa. Next to him, his phone lit up with a message from Night Dream.

It was just a picture of the yellowed cover of a secret tome.

"Giant Statue Technique"

...

Time flew by, the night faded away, and the sunrise slowly ascended from below the horizon. The sunlight spread throughout the city, reflecting off the rooftops.

August 10th, Baihua Gymnasium.

Many schools entered the arena; compared to the previous few days, there were only slightly fewer in number. Logically speaking, with the top eight battles, most of the contestants from various schools had been eliminated. However, watching the matches was also an experience that could broaden one’s horizons. It would be best not to miss the once every few years Dark World Combat Competition.
