Chapter 490: 247 Fierce Bird Fifth Transformation, Heavenly Bird Destruction!

"Why won’t you let me finish speaking?"

Huo Feng muttered to himself.

He was quickly carried away by the staff on the spot.

On the platform, Bai Xiao silently watched as Huo Feng was taken away, his expression still icy cold. From the beginning to the end, he was just making up an excuse to force Huo Feng into fighting with all his strength instead of surrendering on the spot. Therefore, Bai Xiao launched a storm-like barrage of attacks that left Huo Feng gasping for air, running ragged, without even a moment to shout his surrender to the referee.

The reward quest required observing Bai Xiao’s performance in the arena.

If Huo Feng didn’t even fight and simply surrendered.

Then the experience gained would greatly decrease and dwindle.

Bai Xiao, under no circumstances, wanted to see this happen.

Hence, Huo Feng’s tragic defeat could only be blamed on his own thought of surrendering, which compelled Bai Xiao to resort to forceful methods to obtain victory.

Slowly exhaling a breath of hot air.

He shifted his gaze forward, where a message was displayed prominently on the professional panel.

[Your quest "Reward", experience +459!]

His gaze moved downward.

[Quest: Reward (Accumulated Experience: 506)]

Another splendid nine potential points credited, adding up to the original tally, exceeding ten. On the stage of the Eastern Dark World fighting contest, all the contestants were Martial Arts geniuses from the younger generation of the Eastern Secret Martial World. Huo Feng provided more potential points than Jiang Shuangxiong, yet less than Yuan Wei, ranking his strength between the two. He could be considered the peak of the batch just below the Eastern Seven Stars.

"I must not give up any chance to compete..."

Bai Xiao made up his mind silently.

One arena fight equates to eight or nine potential points, where else could he find such good fortune? Missing a single fight would mean a significant loss to him.

"Fierce Bird Sect’s Bai Xiao, victorious!"

The black-clad referee announced the result with a voice resonant as a large bell.

On the platform, Bai Xiao ignored the several sharp gazes cast from the spectator stands and walked slowly down the platform, making his way towards the Fierce Bird Sect’s area.

Returning to his spot, he quickly estimated the time for the third round of the competition to end. After getting the gist, he approached Sect Leader Yan Qi and the Elder.

"Sect Leader, Master, I would like to return to the hotel for a bit."

Having received their consent, Bai Xiao then went to his junior brothers and sisters.

"Notify me when the third-round ranking matches are about to end."

Jian Feng and the others nodded.

Afterward, he walked through the passage behind the spectator stands along the wall of the Martial Arts Arena. Following the yellow caution tape, and with the staff on both sides, Bai Xiao walked straight forward, leaving the Crane Immortal Martial Arts Hall and driving to the hotel.

In the afternoon of the Dark World fighting contest, following the third round’s elimination matches, there were ranking matches, and finally deciding if there would be contenders for challenge matches.

Rather than wasting time watching the matches, it was better to take advantage of these long hours to return and use Talent Dark Red and potential points to further enhance his strength.

Bai Xiao felt that his accumulated savings were already very substantial.

Ten minutes later, Hanhai Hotel, fourth-floor room.

In front of an entire tea-colored glass window, the afternoon sun was splendid and dazzling, casting down patches of golden light that made the plush brown carpet exceptionally warm. White embroidered curtains were tied to one side.

A figure slowly emerged from the restroom, standing beside the window gazing out.

He looked at the cityscape of high buildings for a while.

Then immediately sat cross-legged.

His whole body was straight as a pine, broad and powerful shoulders unfolded to both sides, muscles robust. His hands rested casually on his knees.

Bai Xiao looked straight ahead, staring at his personal panel.

[Quest: Reward (Accumulated Experience: 506)]

"Dark Red!"

Without hesitation, he called out loudly in his mind.

Instantly, a bright red light flared in front of him, like a sunset filling the sky.

A mysterious power enveloped the entire reward quest panel, turning everything misty and unclear. He could vaguely see the black numbers inside fluctuating wildly, dropping from three digits to two, and finally to a single digit.

When the power dissipated, everything became clear.

[Quest: Reward (Accumulated Experience: 6)]

The reduction in experience points represented an increase in potential points.

Bai Xiao shifted his gaze and instantly looked towards the Dark Red Modifier.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 22→32]

Another ten potential points secured!

Bai Xiao had already amassed a total of twenty potential points for the day.

His thoughts moved, and he repressed his fluctuating emotions.

Then he breathed repeatedly, slowly bringing his mood to its best state. Bai Xiao stood up, shed his clothes, and returned to the bathroom. In the center was a wooden tub meant for bathing.

Within the cylindrical tub was warm medicinal water, filling two-thirds of its height.

The medicinal water was semi-transparent white, somewhat like lime or egg white. It was not sticky and instead somewhat refreshing. It gave off a light, warm fragrance on the surface, different from the usual strong medicinal smell.

Jade Bone Skill was a second-rate Cross Training Method. In the first stage, ointment was used; in the second, a medicinal bath; in the third stage, one must swallow medicinal pills.

The whole process was more complex than external medicines.

However, Fang Chao had provided everything needed quite readily.

He took a deep breath, and walked straight into the wooden tub.

Then sat down cross-legged, allowing the medicinal water to reach his neck.

Suddenly, a tingling and itchy sensation spread throughout his body, warm with a touch of coolness, somewhat strange. Bai Xiao calmed his mind, staring forward.
