Chapter 427: 216 consecutive levels up, absorbing Void Energy

"First, extract the Potential Points from the bounty task."

Bai Xiao’s thoughts moved, and he immediately cast his attention to the Dark World fighting competition’s player occupation. Just below the panel, a black mission flickered slightly.

[Task: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 494)]

Unfortunately, just a little short of 500 Experience.

He took a deep breath and chose to extract without any hesitation. Instantly, the bounty task was shrouded in mist, and amidst the haziness, a large amount of Experience was extracted by the Dark Red Modifier, transformed into mysterious Potential Points. After a few seconds, the view became clear and Bai Xiao looked forward.

[Task: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 44)]

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 32→41]

Nine Potential Points were added, restocking to above forty.

He looked at the substantial number of Potential Points with a sense of reassurance and satisfaction.

Everything was ready.

Bai Xiao reminisced about the content of the Giant Statue Technique he had just read. This Third-class Horizontal Training Method had stringent entry requirements, demanding that Martial Artists already possess a robust physique and a solid base in Hard Skill before cultivating. Otherwise, it could lead to bodily harm, muscle strains, or even the risk of cultivation deviation.

This is because the Giant Statue Technique is a Cultivation Technique that stimulates and catalyzes the development of the cultivator’s muscles and physique. It builds upon an already formidable body. If a person with a frail body were to forcefully cultivate it, they might suffer from backlash, possibly training themselves to death.

However, this stringent requirement was rather simple for Bai Xiao. He had a full one hundred points in physical attributes; even Mountain King Chen Xiu might not be as strong as him. Naturally, it was quite easy for him to get started with the Giant Statue Technique.

So, in the bathroom lit with a warm orange glow, inside a wooden barrel.

Bai Xiao sat cross-legged, each foot overlapping on the opposite knee, hands crossed, his upper body curled, back arched like an old turtle, shoulders drooping. This was a posture to induce the circulation of Qi-Blood.

Suddenly, he closed his eyes and used the Blood Pills to stimulate the Qi-Blood flow.

After repeating the cycle, just half an hour later, his eyes brightened.

A piece of information instantly popped up.

[Skill: Giant Statue Technique Entry Level (1/200)]+

"Entry level achieved, the rest should be easy."

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, straightened his body back up. His tower-like stature stood in the barrel, unmoving like a boulder.

He suddenly opened his eyes, staring straight ahead.

"Dark Red!"

Instantly, Potential Points vanished, transforming into streams of mysterious energy funneling into the occupation panel. The Giant Statue Technique, Experience surged!

"My physique is adequate, and I have accumulated a good amount of Potential Points, there’s no need to use them in batches. Dark Red... add all the Potential Points!"

A sharp gleam flashed in Bai Xiao’s eyes.

Suddenly, a red light filled his mind, as if the skyline at dusk swept across the sky’s dome.

A massive amount of Potential Points, turning into an invisible vortex, poured furiously into the Giant Statue Technique. Causing the entire occupation panel seemed to tremble slightly.

This blurriness lasted several minutes.

At a certain moment, everything settled.

Bai Xiao was in a daze, and a flood of information rushed in. It was as if he had practiced the Giant Statue Technique for tens of years, cultivating tirelessly day and night. All kinds of techniques and key points were deeply ingrained in his mind. It could be said that Bai Xiao had mastered this Hard Skill.

Before him, a flurry of information flashed.

[Your occupation ’Secret Martial Arts Expert’, Experience +130!]

[Your skill ’Copper Statue Technique’, Experience +1400!]

[Your skill ’Copper Statue Technique Entry Level’ has risen to ’Level One’!]

[’Level One’, raised to ’Level Two’!]

[’Level Two’, raised to ’Level Three’!]

His gaze moved downward, Bai Xiao’s eyes briefly fixated.

[Skill: Giant Statue Technique Level Three (1/1000)]

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 13]

The Giant Statue Technique advanced three levels, reaching the initial limit. However, with Bai Xiao’s Copper Wall Iron Curtain enhancement, it can still be upgraded once more. This time, it required twenty Potential Points, and Bai Xiao didn’t have enough left.

"Still need to continue acquiring Potential Points..."

"This kind of thing, no matter how much you save up, when it comes to using them, they’re gone in an instant," he murmured to himself, pondering for a moment before snapping back to reality.

In an instant, Bai Xiao felt the changes in his body.

Even though the cultivation of the Giant Statue Technique had finished, his body was still absorbing the medicinal water in the barrel incessantly. The exaggerated suction of the pores caused the surrounding area to clear visibly. Those medicines, concentrated untold times until they were as thick and dark as sludge, were now opening up into stimulating medicinal powers.

Bai Xiao could feel the Qi-Blood in his body surging like a furnace, invisible streams of medicinal force rampaging through his skin and muscles like a tornado.

The medicinal power was fiercely stimulating his muscles, causing his entire body to shake uncontrollably, back muscles automatically contracting and stretching like tense, coiling steel bars, twisting and winding. His pectoral muscles expanding and contracting, showing a sense of strong resilience.

After persisting for more than ten minutes, Bai Xiao was drenched in sweat as though he had been caught in a downpour. He stood up, stepped out, standing in the middle of the bathroom.

He turned on the showerhead, and a gentle flow of water cascaded down.

Bai Xiao showered for a while, washing away the filth from his body.
