Chapter 562: 281 Three Great Secret Martial, Dark Red Enhancement_2

Two figures returned to the martial arts banquet through the side door.

They appeared to be conversing and laughing, having a very pleasant cooperation.

In a corner of the courtyard.

Bai Xiao silently took out his mobile phone, flipping through three pictures he had saved. Those were unmistakably the names and effects of three Secret Martials. Just now, in the side hall, the suited young man sent a list, and Bai Xiao quickly made his selections.

The following is the list of Cultivation Techniques.

"Giant Axe Hand Blade," Third-rank offensive Secret Martial.

"Coagulating Qi Shield," Third-rank Transcendent Refining Secret Technique.

"Arrow Step," Second Rank lightweight Body Technique.

These three Secret Martial Skills perfectly aligned with the plan he had once considered.

After confirming Bai Xiao’s choices, the suited young man had already notified the company to rush them over. If all goes as expected, by the end of the banquet, Bai Xiao will be able to take his three Secret Manuals.

"The efficiency of Wuyuan Company is not bad..."

In a corner of the courtyard, Bai Xiao closed his phone and quietly acknowledged in his heart.

Immediately after, his gaze shifted forward.

"Swoosh!"

In the personal panel, something in the Profession slot was glowing and enlarging.

"Buzzing..."

[You have activated the new special profession ’Martial Arts Consultant’!!!]

His brain buzzed voidly for a moment before returning to normal.

Bai Xiao fixed his gaze to see.

[Profession: Martial Arts Consultant]

[Mission: Contribute Secret Martial Skills (no upper limit)]

His eyes slightly narrowed, and with a thought, he soon understood what this was about. This time, the Martial Arts Consultant profession he had awakened was somewhat special, actually having a task without an upper limit. It seems to be very similar to the bounty tasks for fighters in the Dark World martial arts competition, and could draw some comparisons.

Focus gathered, Bai Xiao fully understood.

In Wuyuan Company, the primary duty of a Martial Arts Consultant was to procure more Secret Martial Techniques for the company. And now, turned into his profession, the logic remains unchanged. Every time Bai Xiao brings a new Secret Martial to Wuyuan Company, it will be converted into profession experience based on the value of the Secret Martial.

The more Secret Martials provided, and the better the quality, the more rich the professional experience!

It’s just unknown whether there are some hidden rules.

Such as diminishing returns from providing too many of the same type.

"It’s a pity that it must be a new Secret Martial. Otherwise, if I went for some easy-to-obtain, common items, I could quickly acquire a large amount of Experience." Bai Xiao shook his head, clearly seeing that this path was impracticable.

He took a deep breath and quickly came back to his senses.

Then he stepped forward, joining the rest of the evening banquet.

As time passed by, it was not until 7 o’clock in the evening that the Eastern Dark World martial arts competition closing banquet finally ended. Many sects left the scene one after another, and Bai Xiao also followed the Fierce Bird Sect, stepping out of the He Xian Martial Arts Hall. The rewards for the champions of the Dark World martial arts competition would be distributed a bit later.

He was very clear about this; it had been the same previously.

When he arrived at the entrance of He Xian Martial Arts Hall.

As expected, Wuyuan Company’s people arrived on time, bringing Bai Xiao a black briefcase. The contents inside were self-evident.

The two sides exchanged tacit understandings, greeting each other before parting ways.

Outside on the mountain road, a black motorcade drove toward the city.

At the same time, in East Sea City, Netherworld Martial Arts Hall.

Ghost Mask, who had suffered defeat and injury, had already left the site of the Dark World martial arts competition earlier and returned to his headquarters to heal. Several hours later, thanks to the mysterious power of the Void Crystal, he had recovered quite a bit.

Under the dim moonlight and in the shadows of the courtyard.

Ghost Mask stood in one corner, silently standing. The entire environment was exceptionally tense, clearly having the calm before boiling water.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Ghost Mask slowly raised his head, reaching with his right hand to remove the mask.

A face with deep features and a ghastly pale complexion was revealed.

In his dark eyes, there was still an inexplicable emptiness, as if his mind was elsewhere.

He lost, lost to Bai Xiao!

He did not win the championship of the Dark World martial arts competition. In the final battle, he barely managed to save his life with the help of a black-clothed referee.

At this time, how could Ghost Mask have the face to announce the establishment of Netherworld Martial Arts Hall? His plans had been disrupted, and the establishment of Netherworld Martial Arts Hall seemed to be indefinitely delayed, at least not feasible in the short term. What could have been achieved in one step now had to be re-planned from the beginning.

How could Ghost Mask accept this?

He was furious now, with the frustration of being one step away from his ideal, only to be forcibly knocked down by someone else—a pain that was unimaginable.

But at this moment, Ghost Mask had not yet burst out in anger.

Because, an hour ago, Evil Ghost Court had already learned the news of Bai Xiao winning the championship of the Dark World fighting competition. And tonight, a master will set off from the sea, rushing towards East Sea City. If nothing went wrong on the way, he would probably arrive by tomorrow afternoon.

This was a true powerhouse, at the Rashamon Level!

If converted to Martial Arts Realm, that would be a sect leader!

A sect leader making a move to assassinate Bai Xiao, that would be a sure thing!

That’s why Ghost Mask could temporarily suppress his anger.

Amidst the writhing eerie shadows, a large hand slowly placed the mask back onto the face, a low and magnetic voice rising, carrying with it a sense of satisfaction.

"To have a Sect Leader Level master come all the way to kill you..."

"Bai Xiao, you should feel honored!"

"Hehehe..."

...

7:30 PM, East Sea City, Hanhai Hotel.

"Whoosh..."

The dense sound of water came from the bathroom, followed by a sudden stop.

"Click."

The bathroom door opened.

A tall and sturdy naked figure walked out.

Bai Xiao quickly dried off his body with a towel, and then casually put on a loose training suit. He didn’t use a hairdryer; he just sat cross-legged by the window, and white steam rose from his head, the moisture instantly evaporating.

His scorching body temperature quickly returned his hair to a dry state.

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, reached out with his left hand, and immediately picked up a wooden box placed by the bed. The box was painted and carved with antique designs, only as big as his palm. Without any hesitation, Bai Xiao opened it, and a faint smell of book pages, with a hint of ink, drifted out.

He took them all out.

There were three books in total, neatly arranged from left to right.

Indeed, he couldn’t wait even a moment longer.

Storing so many Potential Points in the Dark Red Modifier and having acquired new Secret Martial Skills, it was naturally time to significantly enhance his own strength!

And by the way, to verify the power of the Grandmaster enhancement after the upgrade.

Bai Xiao’s thoughts moved, and he immediately picked up one of the books and began to flip through it.

It was the offensive Secret Martial Skill, Giant Axe Hand Blade.

This was the type of Secret Martial Skill Bai Xiao wanted to practice for training his hands—similar to the Black Flame Lion Heart Fist and Ten Fists Sword. All emphasizing the continuous strengthening of hand skills, turning the palms and fingers into something as tough as fine iron, possessing tremendous power.

By the floor-to-ceiling window.

He flipped open the first page; then a hint of coldness isolating everything passed through his eyes as Bai Xiao entered the Pure Heart State.

Suddenly.

He read through Giant Axe Hand Blade at a rapid pace, grasping its essence.

Having experience in practicing similar types of Secret Martial Skills, and since the level of Giant Axe Hand Blade wasn’t very high, it didn’t take long for Bai Xiao to master it on the spot. Moreover, he had already grasped the core of this offensive Secret Martial Skill.

Transform hands into axes, cleave through foes with strength!

This suited him just fine, simple and brutal.

Moreover, Giant Axe Hand Blade did not require the aid of secret medicines.

Bai Xiao could just use his enormous amount of Potential Points to push it to the limit.

Let’s see what effect it has!

Half an hour later.

He gently closed the book with his right hand, coming out of the Pure Heart State. Then his gaze fixed straight ahead, flickering slightly.

Suddenly, a red light appeared.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 71]

Bai Xiao’s gaze gradually settled on the last line, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Dark Red, enhance Giant Axe Hand Blade!!!"
