Chapter 481: 242 Eastern Fighting Tournament Day 2_2

That is to say, without the Divine Ghost Six Desires Secret, without breaking into the Beidou Holy Temple to gain the recruitment qualification, Bai Xiao alone would definitely not be able to proactively hunt the monsters inside and outside the city. He might even have to scurry about like a frightened rat. Of course, high risk brings high reward. This time, he has again acquired a unit of Void Energy.

Due to being at the first level as a Martial Artist, Bai Xiao has already reached a certain limit.

Thus, he temporarily stored this unit of Void Energy.

Waiting to break through to the second level before using it to devour.

"Click, click, click, click..."

By the bedside, Bai Xiao drew open the curtains, standing in the warm sunlight.

He slowly moved his body, twisting his shoulders and neck. Immediately, his bones made a clicking sound, crisp like the popping of beans. Bai Xiao was about to head to the bathroom to freshen up when he saw the mobile phone on the bedside table light up slightly.

The screen showed that someone had sent him a message.

The first two, astonishingly, were Feng Xun and Xie Yang whom Bai Xiao had previously subdued.

They brought news that this morning, they were summoned by the leader of the Crimson Ghost Face Organization, Ghost Mask, who revealed a series of secrets. Additionally, the organization’s second in command Feng Xun, was ordered to liaise and communicate with personnel from the Evil Ghost Court. The third in command Xie Yang, was instructed to oversee the resources of the Netherworld Martial Arts Hall, including the Void Crystals at various bases. Ghost Mask gave the two a great deal of trust and not insignificant authority.

And all of this has been relayed to the mastermind Bai Xiao.

"Hehehe..."

Bai Xiao’s face was against the sunlight, his facial features enshrouded in shadow, indiscernible. He let out a low chuckle, carrying a hint of the satisfaction of a villain’s scheme coming to fruition. With Ghost Mask appointing these two, wasn’t it just like letting Bai Xiao, a rat, fall into a rice barrel? Of course, he was no rat.

But what could be foreseen was,

Once Feng Xun and Xie Yang rose to power, Bai Xiao would be able to learn most of what was happening on Ghost Mask’s side, and even the movements of the Evil Ghost Court. Naturally, the stored Void Crystals, as well as possibly more precious resources that might continue to be delivered, were already in the bag. However, he wouldn’t try to drain the pond to catch the fish or alarm the snake prematurely. He would first observe the situation and make judgments later.

If all else fails, before being exposed, he would sweep all the resources in one fell swoop.

"Who would have thought, the two members of the Ghost Face Organization that I originally controlled for the position of Martial Arts Hall Master, would have such a use? Fate is unpredictable..."

Bai Xiao mused to himself, then looked down again at the messages.

The next message was unexpectedly from Yao Qing.

Asking if Bai Xiao was free in the evening.

He was now in East Sea City, maybe they could have a drink and chat.

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, then gave an affirmative reply.

Pressing out the screen, he stepped forward and walked briskly towards the bathroom.

...

8:30 a.m.

He Xian Martial Arts Hall was bustling, swarming with nearly a thousand people at a glance. The majority were dressed in their respective sect’s practice outfits and fight wear, made of fine fabric, with distinct sect emblems clearly embroidered in conspicuous places.

This was also the case with the fighting wear of the Fierce Bird Sect.

Platinum in color, with a fierce predatory look and formidable claws resting upon the shoulders.

At the very front of the team stood a grim-faced muscle man, who squeezed his way forward, parting the crowd on both sides like a tide.

Their faces were slightly annoyed as they turned their heads, but upon seeing Bai Xiao’s face, they did not continue with any further action. They simply moved aside silently, making way.

In yesterday’s Dark World fighting competition.

Bai Xiao’s one-punch takedown of Pi Kai from the Iron Ball Sect had already made him famous.

Many competitors placed him on the same level as Blood-calling Fist Feng Yan, Magic Gun Extreme Martial Arts Hall Yuan Wei, Heavy Smoke Fist Huo Feng -- the strongest fighters below the Seven Stars, competing for the top ten spots in the competition.

So Bai Xiao, leading the Fierce Bird Sect team all the way to the Martial Arts Arena base, did not encounter any obstructions. He sat in his seat, his expression calm.

Around them, several gazes flickered from a distance.

Among them, a few exuded extraordinary presence.

To the left, a tall young man dressed in light purple combat attire stood out. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows showing off his thick body hair; his forearms were muscular with bulging veins, resembling intertwined earthworms. The young man’s facial features were ruggedly handsome, with a somewhat grave expression, his eyes fixated on Bai Xiao’s location.

"Based on yesterday’s competition, this guy has immense strength. I can’t afford to clash head-on with him. I need to find the right moment to blast him with my Heavy Smoke Fist. Throughout this entire Eastern Dark World Martial Arts Competition, very few people can withstand it," Huo Feng thought to himself, "I must make it into the top ten this time! Anyone who stands in my way shall be defeated, Fierce Fist Bai Xiao included!"

On the other side, a bald, muscular man in full black attire with long sleeves sat with his arms crossed over his chest, exuding utter calmness. He seemed unaffected by the heated atmosphere around him. It was noticeable that this man’s palms—specifically his middle and index fingers, four fingers in total—were unusually rough and large, resembling steel bars.

Clearly longer and bigger than his other fingers.

In his normal state, this feature was already prominent; one can only imagine what extent he could reach once he fully engages his secret technique. Could it be a moment where the Magic Spear descends?

Fierce Bird Sect’s residence.

Bai Xiao remained expressionless and did not initiate any eye contact.

On the pathway of the Martial Arts Arena, a fiery red figure appeared. Her figure was curvaceous and nimble, akin to a beautiful yet fierce female leopard, exuding a wild aura. Her skin bore the deep tan of prolonged exposure to the sun, her facial features pronounced and deep-set.

With high brows and a pronounced nose, she had a dignified profile brimming with vibrant, explosive energy that subdued the stunning allure of her eyes. Standing nearly 1.8 meters tall, her legs were round and powerful, her arms filled with streamlined muscles.

She looked like the strong female characters from certain arcade games popular in the past.

"Tap tap tap..."

The woman followed her team, heading towards their station.

Yet, she suddenly stopped halfway and turned her head to look at Bai Xiao by the roadside.

Her round and bright eyes were filled with an intense dominance and battle intent.
