Chapter 995: Chapter 425: Breaking the Cocoon, Transforming into a Dragon or Snake
Bai Xiao agreed to this suggestion.
During this time, the Martial Arts Association personnel arrived and learned the details of the matter. They immediately informed the higher-ups of the association, so that someone with real weight could communicate with Bai Xiao. Thus, Bai Xiao once again met with Vice Chairman Long Ze of the association.
This time, with the growth of his strength and realm, his observation of Vice Chairman Long Ze was clearer. The other party was clearly a peak expert who was just one step away from the Grandmaster Realm, perhaps no less formidable than the Sword Demon and the Light Eagle. However, Long Ze was extremely low-key, even though the Martial Arts Competition allowed members of the Martial Arts Association to participate, he showed no intention of registering.
Without any surprises, Vice Chairman Long Ze would quietly break through to the Grandmaster Realm in the near future and become one of the Grandmasters of Tianxia.
“Bai Xiao, the matter you reported is very crucial.”
“The Martial Arts Association takes this Martial Arts Competition very seriously and will not allow the Evil Ghost Court to ravage unchecked. I will go back and immediately report this matter to the chairman. The upcoming Martial Arts Competition will have a Grandmaster personally oversee it! Even if the Evil Ghost Court sends its entire force, they will have to seriously weigh their options…”
“After all, this is within the territory of the Tianxia Federation!”
After a round of exchanges, Long Ze expressed his concern and also promised significant rewards to Bai Xiao. He stated that this was instructed by the chairman, and it was the chairman’s private collection, not the Martial Arts Association Headquarters’ reward, but with higher specifications. It was the collection of a Grandmaster, rumored to have top-tier secret techniques comparable to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Five Qi Towards Yuan. There was also enlightenment tea leaves within three years, with an endless charm enhanced by special craftsmanship.
However, Bai Xiao needed to wait for a while.
Until the chairman of the Martial Arts Association personally went to East Sea City!
“It seems that this time, in East Sea City.”
“Not only is it a fierce struggle among the peak experts from around the world…”
“It’s also a fierce struggle between the Martial Arts Association and the Evil Ghost Court!”
Bai Xiao could smell the approaching storm, as if a building filled with wind.
Four in the morning.
He stood alone on a sunken square that had become a ruin.
In front of his line of sight, the harvest from this battle emerged.
Rows of black numbers quickly cascaded down like a waterfall.
[Your mission “Hunt Down the Criminals,” experience +5200!]
[Your mission “Hunt Down the Criminals,” experience +28000!]
Bai Xiao’s eyes lit up, and his gaze hurriedly fixed below.
[Task: Hunt Down the Criminals (Accumulated Bounty: 33200)]
The bounty for the Hunt Down the Criminals task, every hundred equals one potential point.
Thirty-three thousand in bounty is equivalent to over three hundred potential points.
He took a deep breath and sighed with emotion; it was fortunate that Dark Star was listed on the world’s wanted list, and the Martial Arts Association also included them. Otherwise, if it were another mysterious peak faction leader from the Evil Ghost Court, unknown to anyone, Bai Xiao would have lost hundreds of potential points in vain.
“After all, causing mischief in the Luca Kingdom, they are known for it.”
A thought occurred, and he directly chose to extract.
“Dark Red!”
From the corner of his eye, a red halo like twilight came and instantly enveloped the profession panel, causing a misty ripple like water fog to tumble.
After several breaths.
A massive bounty was gradually refined into potential points.
Bai Xiao looked ahead.
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 21.8→519.8]
After the addition from the Martial Arts Hall Master profession, a total of four hundred and ninety-eight potential points, nearly five hundred! He could say he hit it big this time.
Suddenly, he felt a significant financial buffer at hand.
A moment later, Bai Xiao returned to his senses.
Suddenly recalling the conversation just had with Vice Chairman Long Ze.
“Divine Eagle Qu Yu died by my hand, Long Vice Chairman just asked a question. It seems that the stance of the Martial Arts Association is that no matter how the domestic Secret Martial World fights, they will not interfere much. However, once it involves the Evil Ghost Court, the level of attention from the Martial Arts Association skyrockets exponentially…”
“Indeed, as Dark Star said, the former Evil Ghost Court was too terrifying. So much so that even now, reduced to a known terrorist organization, it is still dreaded by the major official forces in the Secret Martial World.”
Suddenly, in the darkness far from the square.
A tall figure in white slowly walked over.
It was Canaan.
Bai Xiao turned his head, glanced at her, and directly spoke.
“If you came to thank me for just helping you kill Divine Eagle Qu Yu, there’s no need. I killed him simply because he wanted to take advantage during my confrontation with Dark Star. This person had a path leading to death!”
Canaan opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing.
In her heart, however, she firmly resolved.
For the rest of her life, she would fight for the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall. Her Forbidden Secret Martial inheritance, Buddha Demon Heavenly Heart Technique, could also be passed on to a gifted disciple of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall, as its legacy.
This was Canaan’s way of repaying Bai Xiao.
A moment later, Canaan left.
On the messy square.
Once again, only Bai Xiao’s figure remained.
With calm eyes, he looked forward again.
The message prompt that Bai Xiao had ignored when the battle concluded appeared.
[Your profession “Martial Arts Grandmaster,” experience +3790!]
[Your profession “Martial Arts Grandmaster,” has reached max level!]
[Main profession “Martial Arts Grandmaster” will begin profession ascension…]
Eyes shifted down.
[Your profession “Martial Arts Grandmaster” ascends to “Martial Combat Master!”]
[Profession: Martial Combat Master LV.1 (526/13000)]
(Extractable)
Bai Xiao closed his eyes, exhaling deeply, as the hot breath from his nostrils spread like two small white snakes crawling into the night.
