Bai Xiao came to his senses and looked towards the ring.

The battle had already begun. One of the competitors was an old acquaintance of his, Li Guangjian Ye Meng. It was unclear if it was due to the sparring session with Bai Xiao, but Ye Meng’s sword was now noticeably faster, and the strength of his slashes had increased. His opponent was already not a match for Ye Meng, and now found himself overwhelmed and bloodied time and again.

Eventually, he was defeated by three strikes and could no longer continue the fight.

After this match, the morning’s competition came to an end.

After a lunch break, the afternoon matches would continue.

Having had lunch, Bai Xiao strolled around and found himself in a garden near the back mountain of He Xian Martial Arts Hall. It was summer, and the flowers were blooming profusely in red and white, their fragrance wafting through the air and making one feel refreshed with every breath.

Walking around, he suddenly stopped and shifted slightly.

"Tap tap tap..."

As expected, after a moment, the sound of footsteps slowly approached.

Looking up, he saw a young man in a casual suit adorned with black and white stripes, which lightened the seriousness. He was tall and slim, about 1.8 meters, with slicked back, shiny hair and unusually thick eyebrows.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Xiao."

The young man in the suit greeted with a slight smile and an air of grace.

"Who are you?"

Bai Xiao turned to look.

The man in the suit immediately stepped forward, took out an exquisite business card from his pocket, held it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Bai Xiao.

The card was all black, with gold letters on a black background, silver patterns on the sides, and seemingly gold-leaf fire marks. In the center, four large characters: "Wuyuan Company."

"I’m from Wuyuan Company, a professional manager responsible for liaising with clients who have potential like yourself," said the young man in the suit, pausing briefly before continuing. "Our company specializes in dealing with secret martial skills and precious medicinal materials. Many sects or martial arts halls are our clients, their disciples purchase one-time secret martial arts from us, or the rare medicinal materials required for cultivating secret techniques..."

"Even precious medicines from the deeper layers of the world, like Jade Mine Marrow, which are effective even for Sect Leader Level experts, we have in stock!" The young man smiled, clearly very confident.

He went on to say, "Among the contestants of this Eastern Dark World fighting event, many are our VIP clients, like Mountain King Chen Xiu and Lei Chanliu Xia Houping. VIP clients can enjoy exclusive services, and whether buying or selling, they can get certain discounts and premiums..."

"I would like to invite you to become a VIP client of our Wuyuan Company."

"I wonder, what are your thoughts on this?"

Bai Xiao slightly lifted his head, his expression inscrutable as he made eye contact with the young man.

He had heard before that showing promise in the Eastern Dark World fighting event would attract invitations from organizations and companies of the Secret Martial World. Cooperation between the two parties aimed at mutual benefit and fulfilling each other’s needs. Unexpectedly, right after his second fight, a company had already approached him. But it was also normal, after all, even Yuan Wei, who was second only to the Eastern Seven Stars, had been defeated by Bai Xiao.

This was enough to prove his strength and potential.

Subsequently, the two strolled through the garden, walking and chatting.

Bai Xiao also learned more information from this professional manager.

The so-called Wuyuan Company was more like an intermediary. It rose along with the rise of new-age martial practice, having been established only about twenty or thirty years ago. Many small martial arts halls and sects lacking resources would gradually decline, but cooperating with Wuyuan Company allowed mutual access to secret martial arts and resources, and over time, the company grew large.

It even developed to the point of having the qualifications to sponsor in the Eastern Dark World fighting event, looking for spokespersons. What they sought was fame and influence. For instance, Bai Xiao, after becoming a VIP member of Wuyuan Company, continued to dominate in the competition, ultimately achieving an excellent ranking. Such a dark horse would surely attract the attention of all viewers, leaving a memorable impression.

Wuyuan Company could then use Bai Xiao’s name for promotion. Several months after the end of the Dark World fighting competition, it is estimated that the effect will be remarkable.

The young manager also explained some VIP user privileges to Bai Xiao. For instance, as a VIP, one could select a Secret Martial technique for free from Wuyuan Company, as well as several secret techniques and obtain certain cultivation pharmaceuticals without charge.

This is akin to a form of indirect investment and reward.

Besides, Bai Xiao also came to understand the existence of other organizations within the Secret Martial World. There are those similar to Wuyuan Company, acting as middlemen selling Secret Martial techniques and pharmaceuticals. Some resemble assassin organizations, hiring martial artists to complete tasks for employers to earn income. There are also more private clubs for enthusiasts. For example, masters who share a love for Horizontal Training have created a Hard Skill Club with seven or eight strong members to exchange experiences and spar regularly. They would extend invitations to suitable newcomers to boost their influence.

And so on and so forth; there are quite a few.

After some conversation, the suited young man took his leave.

He also mentioned that Bai Xiao could freely consider the offer or discuss it with his sect. Bai Xiao could call him anytime; he would be at his beck and call. He just needed to make a decision before the end of the fighting competition.

In the garden, a figure silently examined the exquisite business card in hand.

"If it’s really as good as he says."

"Perhaps it wouldn’t be bad to become a VIP user of this company?"

"I would like to invite you to become a VIP client of our Wuyuan Company."

"May I know your thoughts on this?"

Bai Xiao slightly lifted his head, his expression inscrutable as he exchanged a glance with the young man.

He had long heard that if one made a name for themselves in the Eastern Dark World fighting competition, some organizations and companies in the Secret Martial World would send invitations. Cooperation between the two parties would benefit both, with each getting what they needed. He hadn’t expected that right after his second match, a company would seek him out already. But it seemed normal; after all, he had defeated Yuan Wei, who was second only to the Eastern Seven Stars.

This was enough to prove his strength and potential.

Following that, the two strolled and chatted in the garden.

Bai Xiao also obtained more information from the professional manager.

The so-called Wuyuan Company is more like a middleman. They emerged with the rise of the new martial arts era, having been established for roughly twenty to thirty years. Many small martial arts halls and minor sects with no resources gradually fall into decline. Wuyuan Company partners with them, with both parties taking what they need from each other, sharing Secret Martial techniques and resources, and slowly growing into a large company.

Later, they even became influential enough to pour funds into the Eastern Dark World fighting competition to look for spokespersons. What they seek is fame and influence. For instance, Bai Xiao, after becoming a VIP member of Wuyuan Company, could continue to dominate the competition and eventually achieve an excellent position. Such a dark horse would definitely capture the attention of all spectators and become memorable.

Wuyuan Company could then use Bai Xiao’s name for promotion. Several months after the end of the Dark World fighting competition, it is estimated that the effect will be remarkable.

The young manager also explained some VIP user privileges to Bai Xiao. For instance, as a VIP, one could select a Secret Martial technique for free from Wuyuan Company, as well as several secret techniques and obtain certain cultivation pharmaceuticals without charge.
