Chapter 538: Day 270 of the Finals

"Hoo!"

In a flash, a long, piercing cry of a bird of prey echoed in his mind.

Penetrating gold and splitting rocks, primordial and untamed.

A vast surge of dark energy swiftly swept out, flowing from Bai Xiao’s arm towards the deep blue bracelet. At once, it seemed as though something fundamental within the bracelet was devoured, its aura gone, thoroughly transformed into an ordinary object.

The mass of dark energy, having consumed something greatly nourishing, visibly swelled and its color deepened. With a mere thought from Bai Xiao, the energy streams swirled back, pouring into his mind like swallows returning to their nest.

"Sss..."

His brows slightly relaxed, feeling an unparalleled clarity in his mind, as though a refreshingly cool stream flowed down from the crown of his head.

Unceasingly washing and nourishing his brain, cold yet piercing through.

Bai Xiao could feel his Spiritual Will being slowly and firmly nourished. The intangible Will began to squirm, becoming more active and vivacious. His eyes grew brighter, emanating a divine radiance.

Half a minute later, this mystical state ceased.

"Phew..."

Bai Xiao let out a deep breath.

His mind and body felt exceedingly refreshed, as if he had cleared away many distracting thoughts and burdens. The enhancement of the Will Attribute is different from the other Three-dimensional Attributes; it is more so reflected in the senses and reactions, without as noticeable physical changes.

"Continue!"

Bai Xiao’s gaze swept over the remaining six hypnotic props, reaching out his hand decisively.

Five minutes later.

Having devoured the Demon Bird Secret Book in succession, the sound of Bird Call in his mind became more lucid and penetrating, the massive dark energy swelling significantly.

In his mind, like sweet rain and dew, continuously moistening the spirit.

By the window, on the carpet.

The figure sitting cross-legged seemed to be faintly surrounded by a twisted semi-transparent barrier, like ripples of water. It seemed to be an effect of heated air caused by a high body temperature, but it wasn’t. It was the overflow of Bai Xiao’s expansive Spiritual Will, uncontrollable.

Causing the air to slightly blur.

Just like the state of specialized Hypnotists when they unleash their full power.

They burst out because of their power, but Bai Xiao’s spirit was simply too overwhelming.

"Swoosh!"

The eyes that had been tightly shut were now open, as if gleaming light was bursting from the pupils.

The whole bedroom seemed to brighten for an instant.

Bai Xiao regulated his breathing, gradually retracting his spiritual power, and his glowing eyes also dimmed, controlling his soaring Will Attribute.

After a full ten minutes, Bai Xiao returned to his normal state.

His gaze calmly fixed forward.

[Will: 83.0→100.5]

A total of seventeen attribute points, not even the Blood Core brought such gains! Seven hypnotic props boosted Bai Xiao’s Will Attribute by a great deal, reaching triple digits in a blink of an eye, just over one hundred.

Now, the Will Attribute was no longer the last of Bai Xiao’s Four-dimensional Attributes; it had surpassed the Speed Attribute. Of course, there was still a considerable gap from Strength and Physique. But, undoubtedly, the distance had significantly narrowed.

Seeing such astonishing gains, Bai Xiao couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander.

If he were to undergo such an experience once more, he could probably increase his Will Attribute exponentially in a short period, catching up to the Physique Attribute which had always been the strongest.

He took a deep breath, refocusing his mind.

The details of absorbing the hypnotic props just a moment ago flashed through his mind.

Bai Xiao instantly confirmed that the effects of the hypnotic props would decay. Among the seven props, four were from specialized Death Sleep Masters—probably similar in quality. The last three, however, belonged to the golden-robed bishop, and their quality was much higher. Therefore, logically, after he absorbed the essence of these props, his Spiritual Will Attribute should have increased by more than seventeen points.

But, due to the continuous decay of their effects, he gained roughly only seventeen points.

Next time, if Bai Xiao were to absorb props of the Death Sleep Master’s caliber, he would definitely not gain 2.5 attribute points each. Unless, of course, the props were of higher quality, like those owned by a golden-robed bishop.

"Eternal Sleep Sect..."

He slowly raised his head, his deep gaze looking out at the city’s nightscape through the window.

His vacant stare seemed to traverse hundreds of kilometers, reaching the sect’s headquarters.

"How high my Will Attribute can rise in one go, it’s up to you."

Ten minutes later.

Bai Xiao fully recovered from the jubilation of the significant increase in his Will Attribute.

Following that, he began to review his other gains.

First was the Armored Knight profession.

His sight locked in, and a few messages about professional experience appeared before his eyes.

[Your profession ’Armored Knight’, experience +150!]

[Your skill ’Blue Crystal Fire Demon LV.2’, experience +298!]

[Skill ’Blue Crystal Fire Demon LV.2’ has leveled up to LV.3!]

The light in Bai Xiao’s eyes flickered, and he quickly moved his gaze downward.

[Skill: Blue Crystal Fire Demon LV.3（3/800）](Wing)

This Wing-level Armor had just barely reached level 3, one step away from maturity. Once the Eternal Sleep Sect matter is settled, the Mercury Potion prepared by Yao Qing would be ready. Bai Xiao had been eager to taste what a Wing-level would be like.

He shifted his gaze, directly examining the Armored Knight profession panel.

[Skill: Black Blood Beast LV.1（1/100）]

This was the only new piece of armor Bai Xiao had acquired tonight, from the Evolution grounds, excellent for whetting his appetite. Somewhat regrettably, the vanguard teams from the major companies were all killed by the Death Sleep Masters of the Eternal Sleep Sect. If they had fallen into Bai Xiao’s hands, by virtue of his Monster’s Friend talent, he could have acquired at least five or six sets of armor.
