Chapter 428: 216 consecutive rises by three levels, absorbing Void Energy_2

He unconsciously recalled the Giant Statue Technique in his mind. The Blood Pill at the location of his Dantian started spinning rapidly, like thousands of sharp needles, instantaneously piercing into the muscles throughout his body. Bai Xiao felt pain all over, his Qi-Blood surged, and his entire body swelled as if it had been stimulated and catalyzed, beginning to expand.

In less than a breath or two, his body grew several sizes larger.

His muscles expanded brutally, section by section, his skin turning dark and shiny, his veins like fine snakes winding beneath his marble-like robust arms. Bai Xiao’s originally strong muscles, after employing the Giant Statue Technique, reached an exaggerated extent. His height shot up from 1.88 meters to around 2.5 meters. His head was hitting the ceiling, his skin, black with hints of red, emitted waves of intense body heat, continuously evaporating the moisture in the air.

Streams of steam rose from the surface of his chest and shoulders.

Enshrouding Bai Xiao’s upper body.

"Thud!"

However, after a muffled sound, a violent air current burst from his pores and shot out, causing the whole bathroom to churn as if gusts of wind were howling.

The white steam was instantly dispersed.

That iron tower-like body swelled once again. In a short period of time, he grew from a height of 2.5 meters to a black and red giant of 3.2 meters!

Bai Xiao knelt on one knee, the height of the bathroom could no longer accommodate him, so he lowered his posture voluntarily. Bai Xiao was not afraid that he would injure himself by hitting the ceiling, but that the alloy-like toughness of his body would punch through the ceiling.

Whether it was people in the room upstairs seeing a head drilling up from the floor or the people in the room downstairs seeing a pair of feet poking out from the ceiling, it could cause some unnecessary impact or even fright.

"Bigger means stronger, stronger means bigger!"

Bai Xiao lowered his head and looked at his own hands covered with dark blue veins.

"I am stronger than before!"

His booming voice echoed in the bathroom, like the sounding of a huge bell.

"Bang!"

Five thick fingers suddenly clenched into a fist, and the air in the palm exploded into white vapor. Bai Xiao, bending his waist, squeezed through the narrow bathroom door with difficulty.

Upon arriving in the room, he could finally stand upright.

However, there was less than ten centimeters between his head and the ceiling; it felt like he could touch it with a slight tiptoe. Bai Xiao took a deep breath and returned to his original size.

"I wonder, with my current strength."

"If I add Qi-Blood transformation, can I shatter Mountain King Chen Xiu’s armor?"

He mulled over this as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and drew the curtains.

Below, on the alleyway beside Hualili Hotel, a young man making a phone call was staring blankly at the eighth floor, dumbfounded. He wondered if it was an illusion, but he had seen the shadow of a huge giant moving to and fro. The youth’s mind was shocked, a sense of inexplicable terror in his heart.

"Hello, what happened? Speak, will you?"

His girlfriend’s voice came from the phone.

The young man came to his senses: "Oh, oh, I just had a hallucination. Maybe it was just the lighting, magnifying the shadow of someone moving in the room."

"What magnified?"

His girlfriend found the young man’s words somewhat incomprehensible.

"Nothing, nothing. I’m about to take a cab back."

The young man immediately hailed a taxi, leaving the area somewhat panic-stricken.

At 8 o’clock in the evening, Bai Xiao, well-fed and satisfied, returned to his room from the cafeteria. Dressed in a set of loose practice clothes, he sat on the sofa with a vacant look in his eyes.

In front of him, the four-dimensional attribute panel appeared.

[Strength: 93.7→98.7]

[Speed: 79.1→82.2]

[Physique: 100.0→104.2]

[Willpower: 67.0→69.4]

Strength +5.0, Speed +3.1, Physique +4.2, Will +2.4!

This was the improvement brought by the Giant Statue Technique, mainly focusing on strength and physique. Especially strength, Bai Xiao’s strength attribute was close to breaking through a hundred points. At a glance, the weakest link was still the willpower attribute.

However, he now had a solution.

Returning to the Ghost Face Organization, Ghost Snake Xie Yang was just one move in the game.

Of course, the immediate progress that can be directly seen, still depends on the Demon Bird Secret Book. With a thought, Bai Xiao instantly absorbed the Fear Qi accumulated by the Demon Mantis. That was the benefit of defeating Crack Water Fist Lei Yu and Ghost Snake Xie Yang.

[Willpower: 69.4→71.5]

Not bad, a gain of more than two points in the psychic willpower attribute.

As he digested his newfound comprehension, Bai Xiao faintly felt a familiar throbbing, which seemed to be from a fear nightmare.

With a thought, he looked down at the back of his hand.

The Skull Mark that hadn’t been paid attention to for a long time, faintly flickered.

"Ever since I reached the Martial Artist Realm, the special fragmented world where the fear nightmare resides seems to have undergone some strange fusion with the personal world of a Martial Artist. If I want to absorb Void Energy like other Martial Artists, and strengthen myself, I must kill the monsters in the combat city..."

"But correspondingly, my path to leveling up is more dangerous, yet my progression speed is faster. As long as I find a sufficiently strong individual and kill them by any means, the massive Void Energy of the opponent might just allow me to leap over the first phase of the Martial Artist Realm in an instant, and infuse ’essence’ to overflowing state..."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, as if he had gained some insight.

The Fusion of fear nightmare and personal world is indeed more dangerous, because once he dies, he might be targeted by fear, just like the eldest senior brother.

His thoughts churning, Bai Xiao slowly lay down on the bed.

His body half-reclined by the bedside table, back against the soft pillow.

His eyelids drooped gradually, and he entered into the dreamland.

"Buzz..."

Fear nightmare, combat city.

Cold, trembling, resonance...

Bai Xiao abruptly opened his eyes, only to find himself still standing on the rooftop of a building.

A wave of air with a burning, charred smell slapped his face.

Bai Xiao turned his head to look around; everywhere there were flames burning, the endless sounds of fighting and clashing in the combat city seemed to be the eternal theme.

Wherever he looked, the giant dark shadows that he saw at the last moment of the previous fear nightmare had disappeared for some reason. He quickly turned around and looked towards the Beidou Holy Temple; it was shrouded in a hazy and massive white light. It was unclear and he could not hear what was happening inside.

"The more chaotic it is, the better. The more chaos there is, the more I can profit from it!"

Bai Xiao murmured to himself, and then he remembered the severely wounded Dragon Scale Knight he had seen before. Now that Bai Xiao’s realm and vision had improved, he could roughly estimate the Dragon Scale Knight’s strength. Probably at Sect Leader Level!

"If I could just kill it, wouldn’t that be..."

Bai Xiao’s eyes held a dangerous glint, but now it was still too early to talk about this.

He quickly leapt off the wall and began to summon his subordinates.

Divine Ghost Six Desires Secret activated.

The Totem Giant appeared in an instant, with Patrol Knights standing with swords propped up, Scissors Monk carrying a huge pair of scissors. These subordinates all had Martial Artist-level strength!

"I have a total of twenty-five summoning slots. If I form a specialized hunting team to serve me, hunting continuously in this chaos. Whether it’s the combat city side or the outsiders invading, whoever is at a disadvantage in small-scale combat, I can kick them while they’re down and help the stronger side eliminate the weak! In this way, my speed of absorbing Void Energy will reach terrifying levels!" Bai Xiao’s eyes radiated an increasingly bright dangerous light...

"Let’s go!"

His towering figure took the lead, with the hem of his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Instantly, the three monstrous figures behind followed. The Totem Giant’s footsteps on the ground shook the earth with a rumbling sound. The Patrol Knights, when moving, made a sharp clashing noise with their metal armor. The Scissors Monks’ knife edges scraped against the ground, creating two long and sharp streaks.

A group of demon-like monsters bared their fangs to the night.

After a night passed, Bai Xiao was drenched in blood, with an intense killing aura.

He returned to the original courtyard.

Behind him in the shadows, stood seven or eight bizarre figures.

Those were the soldiers newly recruited by Bai Xiao.

"Just one night, and I’ve already gained a basic unit of Void Energy!"
