Chapter 714 - 714 376 Peeking into the Realm of the Ultimate Fighter

Chapter 714: 376 Peeking into the Realm of the Ultimate Fighter (4200)_2 Chapter 714: 376 Peeking into the Realm of the Ultimate Fighter (4200)_2 Something seemed to be undergoing an intense annihilating reaction.

Inside the Shelter Tower, on the third floor.

Casio placed one hand on the blue crystal, and a unit of spirit blood was depleted. The Defense Array was activated, wiping away the calamities in one sweep.

He backed off a few steps, suddenly noticing a blurred symbol floating above the crystal. Casio hadn’t ever seen it before, but he could immediately understand its meaning. It represented the number twenty, meaning a dose of spirit blood could power the Defense Array for twenty hours.

Admittedly, the consumption was quite substantial.

But fortunately, Casio could control the Defense Array twice a day. That is, once when entering the World of Calamities and once more when leaving it, avoiding wasting energy when he was not in the World of Calamities.

Considering this, the consumption of the Defense Array was still acceptable.

A few seconds later, Casio returned to the first floor from the third.

The calamity that had infiltrated his Qi body was gradually evaporating.

This made him emit a faint gray mist as he walked.

He moved to the center of the first floor, at the pentagon star-shaped altar, in front of the metal pillar representing the wisdom rune. He transmitted a dose of spirit blood into it.

Instantly, the dim pentagon star altar lit up like an incandescent lamp, emitting a faint glow. A flame was lit at the top of the metal pillar representing the wisdom rune. It was the size of a fist and floated in mid-air. Casio suddenly felt a force of suction from the altar. He could resist it, but he didn’t.

Immediately, he felt a part of his Qi was forcibly extracted from his body.

Casio felt somewhat weak, and his body became somewhat ethereal. Looking ahead, at the center of the pentagon star altar, a Qi heart was slowly beating. Thump, thump, in sync with Casio’s heartbeat.

He could explicitly feel the connection between himself and that Qi heart.

If Casio died in the outside world, he would be reborn with the aid of this heart.

Having relieved himself slightly, he walked down from the altar. Two units of spirit blood were used, leaving one and a half for emergencies, depending on the situation.

Standing still and waiting for about five minutes, the calamities in his Qi body were completely expelled. Casio immediately felt relieved.

“It’s time to leave…”

He activated the Proof of the Soul Holders, and the whole world hummed.

A flash of white light, and he stepped out, his foot landing on the ground.

When his vision restored, he was unmistakably in a forest.

Behind him, the dead old tree remained lifeless.

The sky was barely lit, the morning glow spreading, bringing a soft warm color to the blanket of white clouds. The light from the dawn filtered through the sky full of clouds casting myriad golden fragments, falling on the tree layers and open ground, exuding a brilliant green luster.

Casio took a deep breath of refreshing air filled with the smell of moisture.

In his body, seven Hazard Spirit-level life vibration energies were slowly flowing.

He turned around with a slight smile on his face and headed down the hill.

An empty horse carriage was parked near the abandoned village, but Rose was nowhere to be seen. Just as Casio furrowed his brow, rapid footsteps approached from the village. Turning around, Rose appeared with a pale face.

“Master Bai Kui, you’ve finally returned…” She seemed somewhat relieved.

“Just call me Bai Kui or Mr. Bai Kui,” Casio corrected.

“What happened? You look like you didn’t have a peaceful night.”

“I encountered a top-tier Marker from Black Rain Villa…” Rose’s expression was still somewhat blank as she recalled and narrated.

Apparently, last night, Rose had always remembered Casio’s instruction to wait here. But when the day was almost breaking, and Casio didn’t return, she went up the mountain to find him, only to bump into a ghost man who had just returned from the World of Calamities. Rose was merely glanced at by him, and a shadow of death appeared before her eyes. It felt as if a giant hand was clutching her heart.

The top-tier knight-rank Markers and the Shadow Hunters are on the same level.

If the ghost man wanted Rose to die, it would be simple; one scythe blow would do it.

However, the ghost man ignored Rose, instead turning to raise his scythe in search of the fish that slipped through the net last night. The knight’s old castle is built halfway up a hill, with a set of abandoned buildings at the top that were surprisingly inhabited by a large number of Abyss Knights. So, the ghost man went up there and chopped them all down with one stroke of his scythe.

It took about ten minutes to clear the area, after which he swiftly descended the mountains.

Only Rose, perplexed and bewildered, was left behind, watching the corpses of dark creatures scattered all over the mountain. She nervously descended the mountain and hid.

Hearing Rose describe this, Casio knew that the ghost man had merely happened to lend him a slight favor. Moreover, this knight’s old castle is their pre-arranged cooperation point, and the calamity tunnel here can be maintained for a period of time.

It is only natural for the ghost man to clean out irrelevant trash and sweep the building clean.

At noon, the two of them returned to Florence, the capital, from Fal County.

Rose submitted this team task, which originally had a time limit of twenty days, but was completed in less than a day. All twenty units of Holy Springs Water were exchanged.

Rose kept 2.5 units for herself, and Casio received 17.5 units of Holy Springs Water. His reward for this was equivalent to the earnings of a normal White Luminance Level hunter from seven continuous tasks, considering the time and rest periods for each task. Casio’s gain in one day was equivalent to the half-year income of a White Luminance Level.

At two P.M., a private room set aside for hunter’s rest.

Casio had already finished eating and washing up, adjusting himself to the best condition. In the World of Calamities, not only did he gain six Hazard Spirit-level life vibration energies, but also many Wild Beast-level life vibration energies.

These two grades of life vibration energies will not bring much special benefit to a Fighter Rank, but they are great spirit medicine to strengthen and enhance the bodies of ordinary people. The results are almost instantaneous, making them as highly effective as the first and second time he used Hundred Medicine Body Refining Ointment and Wind Elephant Pill during retrospection.

The body of Bai Kui, in which he currently inhabits, has an awakened source energy leaning towards the spirit. His physique isn’t too robust, at best about average for an adult male.

His combat style is Phantom Kui Illusion Art, which involves plunging the enemy into the illusion, unable to find the location of Bai Kui’s physical body. In Casio’s view, this style of fighting is like handing your own life into the hands of the enemy, hoping that they will be confused by the illusion and unable to break free, having weak willpower. If the enemy has area attack capabilities, they will put themselves in a dangerous position.

In Casio’s view, the development path of Illusionists is somewhat deformed and their ideas about combat have not been developed. Illusionists have the ability to block the enemy’s five senses, so why not cultivate their physical bodies to be strong enough?

With a face-to-face confrontation with the enemy, the illusion shields their five senses at the first chance, then fist fight, aiming at the enemy’s weak point.

A combination punch will leave the enemy either dead or handicapped!

It’s not important if the ability is elegant or high-profile, what’s important is how to kill the enemy. If it was the real world, heavy firearms and Illusionists could have been perfectly compatible. Snap the fingers to induce hypnosis, then pull out a machine gun from behind and start shooting. Everyone below the Fighter Rank would be in awe and fear!

In this era without firearms, they can sculpt their body muscles!

Create a macho man physique, either by using fists, swords, or knives. Meet the enemy and shield their five senses with illusion, then start slashing. Most enemies will likely encounter death.

Even better, this can be confusing. The enemy might think that as an Illusionist, your physical body is weak, so they will do everything they can to engage in close combat with you. But once they successfully manage to break free from the illusion with a splitting headache and charge at you, you simply burst open your clothes on the spot, revealing a body of classical well-built muscles. Leisurely and cheerfully, you hammer the enemy with your fists until they are half-dead.

This is the ideal development path for Illusionists, with spiritual and physical strength supplementing each other.

Casio plans to persuade Rose sometime in the next few days to help her onto the right path.

Drip…

A large jar of Holy Springs Water was placed on a mahogany table, totaling 875 ml, close to a liter. The light golden liquid shimmering slightly in the sun, shining like gold, exudes a strange color.

First, take in the Wild Beast-level life vibration energies, then drink seventeen units of Holy Springs Water. Casio doesn’t plan to use the seven Hazard Spirit-level life vibration energies just yet. He wants to wait until his strength is fully recovered, then store all Hazard Spirit-level life vibration energy together so he can use it all at once.

“Mysterious Elephant Secret Martial Art: Qi Chapter, 64.1% (total of three layers)”

Casio plans to elevate this pillar-level martial art technique to at least,

“Mystic Elephant Secret Martial Art: Qi Chapter, 80% (total of three layers)”

At this time, he’ll no longer be a Double Top Fighter, but enter the fourth stage of a fighter, becoming an Ultimate Fighter! This is the level that the Ghost Knife barely touched at its most brilliant moment before dying!

As an Ultimate Fighter, he will only be one step away from the Holy Fist Realm…
