Chapter 546: 274 Strong Ones

His gaze fixed, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward.

A full 1101 Experience, it was like a discontinuity in existence!

Bai Xiao was not the first to encounter an opponent of the Seven-star Level in the Eastern region. The Eastern Seven Stars he had faced before, such as Long Gu Haoli, or Mountain King Chen Xiu, only yielded just over eight hundred Experience after a full-force, exhilarating battle. Those slightly stronger, like Hell Ghost Slayer Luo Tian, got exactly nine hundred Experience. And Breeze of Breath Liu Xinzong directly exceeded by more than two hundred.

Bai Xiao could make a rough judgement of an opponent’s strength based on the Experience.

One hundred Experience generally represented one level.

Gui Luotian was a notch stronger than Haoli and Chen Xiu.

And Liu Xinzong is a full two levels stronger than Gui Luotian!

No wonder just now in the dueling arena, Liu Xinzong could go toe-to-toe with Bai Xiao whose strength had been enhanced once again. That last move imbued with Sky Crane Intent almost pierced through the horizontally trained physique of Bai Xiao’s shoulder.

That was a true injury.

Not like those superficial wounds that can recover quickly.

It shows that Breeze of Breath Liu Xinzong, renowned as the one with the deepest foundation among the Eastern Seven Stars, is indeed formidable. Throughout his journey from the Eastern Dark World Combat Competition, Liu Xinzong has been the most challenging for Bai Xiao. Such an all-encompassing Combat Skills mastery is more oppressive than other Seven Stars.

"Worthy of being the Chief Disciple cultivated by the He Xian Martial Arts Hall..."

"Liu Xinzong has an incredibly solid foundation at the Martial Artist realm, with an extraordinary depth that exceeds imagination. With years of accumulation, once he breaks through, he might soar within the sect leader realm and achieve progress beyond other’s imaginations..."

Bai Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly as he sighed inwardly.

Then, he refocused his attention on the information prompt.

[Mission: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 1118)]

He slowly exhaled a slightly hot breath.

Bai Xiao looked forward, his eyes narrowing slightly, without the slightest hesitation, he activated his talent. A streak of red light occupied his vision at an extremely fast speed.

"Dark Red!"

Scarlet brilliance flickered, like twilight spreading layer by layer under the clouds.

With a thought, the mysterious power of the Dark Red Modifier enveloped the entire status bar of his personal panel. The surface was hazy with mist, while the black digits inside frantically jumped, transforming from four digits to two in the blink of an eye.

After two or three breaths, most of the Experience had been extracted.

"Swoosh..."

The sense of mystery faded, and everything cleared up again.

[Mission: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 18)]

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 22→44]

The number of Potential Points from the Dark Red Modifier doubled instantly.

A flash of joy crossed Bai Xiao’s eyes, and he felt even more secure. With forty-four Potential Points, any Secret Martial could be greatly enhanced.

He gradually calmed his emotions.

Soon, Bai Xiao thought of his Secret Martial Arts Expert panel.

Apart from the Cultivation Techniques that he had not yet mastered, the other Secret Martials had been pushed to their limits. Although he had a lot of Potential Points, without a technique to enhance, he was at an impasse. His next step was to look for Secret Martial Skills that fit his fight style. The rewards from the Wuyuan Company and the Dark World Combat Competition should be able to fill this gap.

Bai Xiao was in no hurry.

What he needed to do was to first consider what types of Secret Martial he needs. Bai Xiao fell silent for a while, his mind turning rapidly.

Firstly.

The Speed attribute must correspond to a Secret Martial Skill.

In the fight with Breeze of Breath Liu Xinzong, if there’s one aspect where Bai Xiao suffered the most, it would probably be agility. Many of his punches failed to hit Liu Xinzong, avoided by his opponent’s extremely elegant close-combat movement technique. Meanwhile, Liu Xinzong could circle around Bai Xiao, continuously utilizing astonishing speed to strike at gaps in his defense.

Although, even hitting vital points didn’t really have any effect.

But in this way, it was actually Bai Xiao’s robust physique compensating for the lack of agility. This aspect could delay the overall level of his combat strength.

Moreover, Bai Xiao felt that speed is also an important aspect of strength.

The impact power of a punch is never just pure strength but a combination of speed and strength. A swiftly flying thin leaf can cut through wooden boards and even walls. Not to mention that if the leaf were replaced with a heavier iron ball, with the same speed, the force would be even greater.

Bai Xiao’s Qinggong Bomb Step, which had already been maximized, had already given him an advantage in this regard. Sometimes, a sudden acceleration towards the front can blast the opponent from one side of the ring to the other.

The weaker ones might even be blown to pieces.

"I also need a movement technique, whether it be a brutal rushing type like Bomb Step, or an agility type for close-combat..."

Bai Xiao silently pondered this in his mind.

Then, he considered what else he needed to obtain.

At least one combat Secret Martial!

The only truly offensive Secret Martial Bai Xiao had obtained were "Ten Fists Sword" and "Black Flame Lion Heart Fist." However, as he rapidly improved, these two third-rank Secret Martials were gradually unable to keep up with Bai Xiao’s pace. Even the combined Killing Skill of the two was not indispensable.

He wanted to change this and increase his combat options.

Therefore, Bai Xiao needed to acquire more combat Secret Martials.
