Chapter 692: 366 Master of Illusion Art Bai Kui (4000) _2 Chapter 692: 366 Master of Illusion Art Bai Kui (4000) _2 In other words, as long as one has Qi, they can inversely impact their physical body, constructing a body that suits the execution of secret martial art techniques. Southern Dipper Red Vulture Fist and Southern Dipper Sonic Serpent Fist are both pure ancient boxing methods without the usual secret martial arts training methods.

Hence, they are the easiest to replenish.

One just needs to remember the state within their Qi, repeatedly unblock the Southern Dipper acupuncture points in one’s body, and build several virtual meridians. Deathfang Power and Echo Strength will naturally form.

As for the Demon Idol martial art, it is indeed a bit weakened.

After all, Casio’s second Golem Heart and the 3D illustration of the Demon Idol’s blood circulation were born under coincidental circumstances.

They were forcibly extracted from the Demon Idol itself.

Therefore, it’s inevitable that these things cannot be replicated. He can only construct simulators within his body through the Demon Spirit, maintaining the normal functioning of the Demon Idol martial art, and they can still be used. However, their burstiness and endurance while in combat may not be as formidable as they are in the real world.

Of course, while slightly weakened, Casio believes that after he regains his strength, his physical prowess should not fall below that of top-tier fighters, thus maintaining an overwhelming advantage.

After exploring the abrupt changes in his retrospective ability, he returned his attention to this Era of Retrospection itself.

He closed his eyes, digesting the information in his brain.

Time: 159 years ago.

Date: July 2nd, 969 of the Hong Li Empire Calendar.

Location: Imperial capital, Florence, 7th District.

Person: A novice hunter who had just joined the Dark Hunt Organization for two and a half years, codenamed Bai Kui, number C.11451, aged 26 years old.

Also, this novice hunter named Bai Kui was the only surviving “C” rank Shadow Hunter combatant in the Dark Hunt Organization three years after the collapse of the empire and the fall of the royal capital.

Moreover, his exploits continued into the Hong Li Federation era. In the early 20-30 years of the federation, he forcibly rallied and formed an official supernatural organization as their leader, helping the federal government through the initial turmoil of wild beast disturbances.

Until the 25th year of the Federation Calendar, he was besieged and fell.

The reorganized Dark Hunt Organization of the Hong Li Federation, due to losing its pillar, disbanded after the Holy Spring fully lost its effectiveness.

Until 60-70 years later, when the federation’s capital, Florence, was again attacked by dark creatures, causing a major tragedy. The officials made up their minds, restarted the Dark Hunt Organization, and named it the Black Mechanism.

They formed the 13th class based on the original 12th class of the federal secret service bureau, and they began to recruit Transcendent Beings within the federation.

This, is the Black Mechanism that Casio is familiar with.

After briefly sorting through the information in his head, he found out that the owner of the Legendary Antique this time rarely used his real name, and was always called by his nickname, Bai Kui. Most people would call him that because the name was a visible and unforgettable impression on the owner of the Antique’s face.

It was a slim and semi-transparent, shallow black line that tangled up from his neck, blooming a Kui flower.

The position didn’t cover his face, it was below the auricle.

If the hair was longer, it could be covered completely.

Bai Kui did just that, his hair was rather long.

The Kui flower on his side face seemed like a decorative tattoo, but it was actually an ability, an ability that can cause illusions.

Bai Kui named this ability Phantom Kui.

Once Phantom Kui is activated, it can affect and confuse the five senses of enemies within a certain range, causing various misperceptions and hallucinations.

Furthermore, if it elevates to a high and deep level, it can even make illusions real. For example, imagine enemies being amidst a sea of blood-sucking Kui flowers, having their blood drained by roots. If the enemy is affected, scared, and believes it’s reality, when the illusion ends, the actual enemy becomes a mummy.

This is similar to the self-deception of human senses, the brain thinks it’s dead, hence the body dies too. It’s like someone being locked in a freezer, even though the freezing effect wasn’t turned on, they’re found dead the next morning due to frostbite.

Phantom Kui ability, Bai Kui has reached the first major stage.

Humans have five senses, which can be divided into two categories.

They are, respectively, sight, hearing, and smell.

Touch, taste.

The first three senses make up the first major stage, the last two make up the second major stage. This is the difficulty progression of creating illusions, the higher the level the harder it gets. In addition, there is a third major stage, which is the profound level just mentioned. Turning illusions into reality, killing without a trace.

Bai Kui went through all three stages and is a master of illusions.

Of course, not the current him.

Actually.

Astonishingly, Casio initially rejected the skill of the Antique’s original owner, but in hindsight his attention became increasingly focused.

Because it was mentioned during the subsequent experiences of Bai Kui.

Illusion art is a contest of spirit and will.

The foundation of its strength fundamentally comes from the concentration level of the Illusionist’s spirit and the degree of resilience of the will. Any subsequent techniques and inducements are just icing on the cake.

Spiritual will is something Casio is familiar with.

The realm of a fighter talks about the will of boxing, not to mention Qi which involves much of the spirit and soul. This body contains the vigorous Qi of a top-notch fighter.

If an illusion art like Phantom Kui is used on the basis of such intensity…

Well…

Probably it will bring out the three kinds of monsters, the dark creature demon idol, Southern Dipper Blood Vulture Bird, and Southern Dipper Sound Python, in the illusion. Then devour them? Smash them into crumbs like robbing food?

Think carefully about that scenario, the enemy that gets dragged into the illusion will probably cry. Yes, not only from the top but from the bottom also.

Casio was intrigued. He had no intention to develop in the direction of illusion art; he just planned to learn the basics of using it. Relying on his robust spiritual will as a basis, to use it as a supplementary tool.

Then he could torment the enemy’s spirit in the illusion and overpower the enemy’s body in the real world to achieve a double knockout effect.

Thinking about it, it’s not bad at all.

Reining in the divergent thinking in his mind, Casio shifted his attention back to the upper right corner of his field of view – a mask icon was there.

Clearly, it represents the legendary antique, the Dark Hunt Mask.

With a slight touch of thought, the information of the obsession was relayed.

There were two, plain and simple.

First, become one of the senior members of the Dark Hunt Organization.

These five high-ranking positions are Chief Inspector, Steward, Holy Spring High Priest, Workshop Chief, Holy Light Hunter, representing four different responsibility divisions within the Dark Hunt Organization.

The Chief Inspector is the leader of the Black Mechanism, they are eliminated first.

The entire logistics of the Dark Hunt Organization is handled by the Steward, including funding sources, administrative notifications and personnel replacements, etc.

One can tell from the name Holy Spring High Priest that it has to do with the Holy Spring.

Responsibilities include upkeep of the Holy Spring and regulation of its usage amongst the organization members.

Also, it has a soothing function similar to that of a priest.

Then there’s the Workshop Chief, naturally associated with the workshop. In simple terms, they develop supernatural weapons and research high-power explosives.

Providing support for combat equipment to the members of the Dark Hunt Organization.

Lastly, there is the Holy Light Hunter, which is an honorary title, akin to the Shadow Hunter. There are only five Shadow Hunters, but only one Holy Light Hunter.

The Holy Light Hunter possesses the strongest combat capabilities and holds the most distinguished achievements among all hunters. He is the sharpest knife, a killing machine.

It goes without saying why this became Bai Kui’s obsession. Although the Dark Hunt Organization is in its twilight years, it is much more comprehensive and prosperous than the Dark Hunt Organization formed by Bai Kui in the early days of the Hong Li Federation. He lived through that upheaval, being one of the few survivors, still has a strong sense of belonging to the Dark Hunt Organization back then, and yearns for the power of Dark Hunt.

It is not surprising that he yearns to be a high-ranking official of the Dark Hunt of those times.

Besides, the second obsession is quite straightforward.

Witnessing the Dark Hunt Organization’s destruction during the Empire’s collapse.

And in that frenzy, finding the real mastermind behind it all. He desires to know a very specific answer!

Bai Kui later realized that the collapse of the Dark Hunt Organization was not an unfortunate run-in with powerful enemies, but a conspiracy.

Someone, some forces, were involved in the entire event.

They or he is extremely secretive, yet omnipresent…
