Chapter 467: 236 Use the Devourer, Twin Stars Alliance

Some praised Bai Xiao’s strength, and naturally, some opposed it.

"Indeed, he’s strong, but still not good enough. Without reaching the Extreme Realm, how can he contend with the Eastern Seven Stars? He’s only slightly threatening, but still far from enough. Anyway, I’ve never seen a martial artist who hasn’t reached the Extreme Realm, threaten any member of the Eastern Seven Stars. Bai Xiao, he might just be another Moqiang Extreme Martial Arts Hall Yuanwei. He might not even be as strong as Yuanwei..."

"Now it’s too early to say, everything has to wait until the top sixteen. When they actually clash, we will truly see the difference. Judging now is way too premature. But I think Bai Xiao still likely cannot compete with the Eastern Seven Stars. If he had that kind of strength, why didn’t he participate in the initial challenge? To defeat an Eastern Seven Star directly, skip the initial rounds of elimination, and reach the top sixteen directly would be much easier and more convenient..."

All sorts of discussions could be heard, and many spectators whispered among themselves.

In the camp of the Heavy Smoke Fist, a tall and strong man dressed in a smart light purple fighting suit, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows showing his muscular forearms covered in thick body hair, remained somewhat silent.

His fists were covered with calluses, his joints were thick, almost the size of a fan.

His rugged face had a high nose bridge and thick eyebrows, giving him a hard, stern style. At this moment, Huo Feng slightly frowned.

Only someone who has fought against the head of the Iron Ball Sect, Pi Kai, would understand how tough his seemingly flabby body was. With the bolstering of the Iron Ball’s secret martial techniques, the martial artist’s energy fully connects from head to toe, and Pi Kai’s entire body defense was as hard as steel. Additionally, by applying the buffering secret technique, it further made his defense as elastic as rubber, capable of absorbing and even reflecting back the opponent’s power.

Such exaggerated defense could cause despair in ordinary competitors.

Even Huo Feng himself had to unleash full firepower, throwing more than a dozen heavy punches, finally breaking open the situation with explosive force. It should be noted that in Heavy Smoke Fist, every punch is tremendously powerful and fierce.

Those dozen punches from Huo Feng could have killed a provincial level competitor in the Dark World fighting tournament. All of them struck Pi Kai, merely breaking his defense and forcing his surrender. Yet just now, Bai Xiao managed more effortlessly and thoroughly. With just a single punch, he achieved what took Huo Feng a dozen punches. Moreover, Pi Kai was sent flying, defeated in one blow.

Even the opportunity to surrender was not given...

His gaze fearfully shifted towards the Fierce Bird Sect’s camp, that figure in dark silhouette.

"This man is a formidable rival competing for the top ten positions!"

"In the upcoming matches, it would be best not to encounter him."

"Otherwise, I can only try to use my trump technique to see if I can defeat him. But even if I win, I won’t be able to progress much farther."

Huo Feng muttered to himself, his gaze shifting.

In the Fierce Bird Sect’s rest area, Bai Xiao returned to the welcoming of his peers.

He sat back in his chair, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

His gaze was somewhat hollow as he looked forward.

In his line of sight, a row of black notification texts quickly scrolled past.

[Your mission "Reward", Experience +301!]

Such a substantial amount of experience, as much as three hundred, was already very close to what Bai Xiao achieved when defeating Ghost Snake Xie Yang earlier. Throughout the entire Dark World fighting tournament of Nanjiang Province, it ranked fourth! Naturally, it’s also possible that because Bai Xiao won cleanly and decisively, he earned more experience based on performance.

But, it also showed how strong Pi Kai was.

He might well be in the top twenty or thirty in the entire Eastern rankings.

His luck was a bit poor, facing Bai Xiao in the first round.

"Six Potential Points earned."

"Without a doubt, the elimination match is the best opportunity to earn reward experience. If I had directly challenged the Eastern Seven Stars, it would have meant a loss of dozens of Potential Points..."

Bai Xiao pondered inwardly.

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, on the stage, the competition continued.

Talented experts from various provinces in the Secret Martial World almost seemed to alternate in appearance. Contest after contest, clash after clash, displayed all sorts of peculiar skills and secret techniques. Among them, Bai Xiao also saw some familiar faces, like number two and three from the Ghost Face Organization, Feng Xun and Xie Yang, who easily defeated their opponents. And some top ten acquaintances from the Dark World fighting competition of Nanjiang Province, with mixed results, approximately fifty-fifty.

After all, the Secret Martial World of Nanjiang Province is at a middle level in the Eastern region.

During the whole first round of the competition, a few matches slightly caught Bai Xiao’s attention. Heavy Smoke Fist Huo Feng, Blood-calling Fist Feng Yan, Moqiang Extreme Martial Arts Hall Yuanwei, Red Falcon Fist Ba Ming—these people came from various provinces, their aura almost comparable to Jiang Shuangxiong. Clearly, they are the top tier below the Eastern Seven Stars, absolutely possessing at least top fifteen strength.

They mostly aimed to compete for the eighth, ninth, and tenth places below the Eastern Seven Stars.

Bai Xiao’s gaze swept over, especially pausing on one person.

Moqiang Extreme Martial Arts Hall Yuanwei.

His aura seemed on the verge of the Extreme Realm, having a vaguely similar vibration to the Seven Stars, but not yet achieved, still lacking quite a bit. However, even so, he faintly stood above other competitors of the same level.

His sect’s secret martial technique was also very interesting.

Mainly practiced on the fingers, refined to the utmost peak through numerous hardships.
