Chapter 1005: Chapter 428: Tell It to My Three Forbidden Secret Martial Arts!
"Oh?"
"Under the rules of the Martial Arts Competition, I defeated the Black and White Holy Halls of the Heavenly Country, and now they hold a grudge against me?" Bai Xiao raised an eyebrow and said...
"Yes, and not just the Heavenly Country, even Light Eagle Philin might have you in mind now." Siger seemed to be quite familiar with the Heavenly Country and founder Light Eagle Philin. He took a deep breath and continued.
"If outsiders believe that the retribution of the Heavenly Country is the handiwork of subordinates, it’s because Light Eagle Philin has subdued many powerful, diverse individuals who only submit to his charisma, while outwardly conducting heinous acts. But I must say, this outside view is completely wrong. Light Eagle Philin is the soul of the Heavenly Country; his will dictates Heavenly Country’s development and actions. Despite his elegant demeanor, powerful abilities, and polite yet atmospheric presence, what he does is a hundred times more brutal and savage than both Holy Halls combined, his character extremely vile..."
"I’ve seen the other side of him beneath his pure white mask!"
"He’s very good at disguising himself; if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I might have been deceived by him all along. In this Martial Arts Competition, the two championship favorites are Light Eagle and Sword Demon. In my opinion, Light Eagle is more like a demon compared to Sword Demon..."
Dead Sword Siger finished saying everything in one breath.
As if he had been holding it in his heart for a long time.
"Apparently, what I sensed before was not an illusion..."
Bai Xiao suddenly recalled the malice he felt from Light Eagle Philin.
"So, Master Bai, you’ve offended them."
"It’s best to be cautious from here on!"
Siger kindly reminded.
Then, as if he remembered something, he continued.
"Oh, right."
"In the White Eagle Republic, there was a rumor that the Heavenly Country might be related to the Evil Ghost Court. Light Eagle Philin and the Heavenly Country’s series of strong rises seem to show traces of this world’s top terror organization, Evil Ghost Court. Although some stories may be more speculative, my feeling is that even if the Heavenly Country wasn’t directly founded by the Evil Ghost Court, it should have secrets supports and assistance from them. Being able to mix with the Evil Ghost Court means Light Eagle Philin is not as perfectly pure as he seems..."
"Only a few people know this information, and there’s no concrete evidence. However, it’s better to be prepared than caught off guard. Master Bai, to be honest, I have enmity against Light Eagle Philin and the entire Heavenly Country. That’s why I told you what I know about inside information..."
"Please be careful."
Dead Sword Siger looked into Bai Xiao’s eyes, speaking sincerely.
"Evil Ghost Court..."
Bai Xiao slightly squinted his eyes. He had little reaction to earlier information. Until Siger said Light Eagle Philin might have ties with the Evil Ghost Court, Bai Xiao paid attention and gazed distantly towards the horizon.
With a somewhat intriguing look at Light Eagle Philin’s back.
Afterwards, the two chatted casually before each returned to their positions. Through this exchange, the relationship between Bai Xiao and Siger noticeably improved, at least becoming friends when confronting the Heavenly Country and Light Eagle Philin.
Waiting hall.
Two more contenders stood up and headed to the battle plaza.
Bai Xiao’s tall frame sat in his seat, looking forward.
His gaze empty, vision blurry.
"Shush shush shush..."
A row of neat black symbols quickly slid downward.
[Your task ’Complete Victory Stance’, Victory Points +2700!]
[Task: Complete Victory Stance (Accumulated Victory Points: 2700)]
During the competition, Black Sanctuary Isaac proved to be stronger than White Saint Hall Roland, reflected in Bai Xiao’s victory points, with Isaac about four hundred more.
"Dark Red."
With a call in his heart.
Soon, the mysterious power of the Modifier directly enveloped the Martial Arts profession in the competition. A layer of water vapor rose, obscuring the view, making it difficult to see inside clearly. One could only vaguely see the victory points rapidly decreasing.
Within a few breaths, it went from four figures to one.
"Hu..."
Bai Xiao gently exhaled a warm breath.
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 407.8→488.8]
Eighty-plus potential points, not a wasted battle.
He glanced at his total potential points, about five hundred, seemingly a lot yet fragile when squandered. After Bai Xiao obtained the ’Metamorphosis, Dragon Snake Transformation’ enhancement, his previously perfected various first-rank secret techniques once again had room for improvement. ’Thunder Fire Burning Body,’ ’One Thought, Great Thousand,’ ’Three Flowers Gathering at the Top,’ ’Five Qi Towards Yuan,’ all top first-rank secret techniques.
Clearly a significant expenditure.
"I hope the opponents I encounter next can provide sufficient potential points. Otherwise, even winning the championship and acquiring the Water and Fire Immortal Robe won’t allow me to upgrade this Forbidden Secret Martial to perfection for seamless transition."
Bai Xiao murmured to himself.
He took a deep breath, directing his attention forward again.
His gaze suddenly brightened.
Defeating Black Sanctuary Isaac and entering the top sixteen precisely completed the first stage of the strongest task below Grandmaster, and rich enhancement rewards should have arrived.
Sure enough, Bai Xiao’s eyes suddenly brightened.
Patches of faintly glowing symbols took up all his vision.
[Task ’The Strongest Below Grandmaster’, First Stage Completed!]
[You have gained an opportunity to choose Professional Enhancement!]
After a momentary pause, a notification quickly appeared.
