Chapter 176 Breakthrough, Fighter Realm!

“Sizzle…”

There seemed to be black smoke in the air, seeping out little by little from the depths of the void, falling to the ground, and immersing the area around the white owl in darkness.

His eyes were closed tightly, and his heart was strangely motionless at this moment.

It was as if he had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped beating, and he had become a dead person in that instant. This state of deathly silence lasted for several minutes.

Until a certain moment.

Bai Xiao's brain was concussed, and there seemed to be a huge, roaring and echoing sound suddenly erupting in his mind, and he kept shouting wildly over and over again deep in his heart.

"The world...is real because of pain and destroyed because of fear!"

The next second, without opening his eyes, he suddenly saw a huge black-gold pupil, noble and gorgeous, majestic and solemn. The edge of the pupil was a circle of dark gold lines, and inside was a thread-like rich black. The black gathered together, like a black sun swallowing everything.

This was the third time that Bai Xiao saw this eye.

Once when the Fierce Bird Fist Manual had comprehended the twelfth fist move.

Once when the eldest senior brother Wu Binghe disappeared.

Every time he saw it, he felt a strong sense of insignificance. It was like a person standing at the foot of a thousand-meter peak, looking far away. The huge monster hidden by the clouds and mist would bring fear even if it was motionless.

"Mother of Terror, Devil Bird..."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself.

Phew! ! !

An inexplicable force instantly enveloped him, carrying an extremely evil aura. His entire figure, sitting cross-legged, seemed to have turned into a transparent crystal in an instant, clearly reflecting the bones and blood vessels inside.

At a glance, you can see that the heart is a dark mass. Mysterious power is constantly pouring into it, one after another, as if to condense an unknown core. With the naked eye, it can be seen that the dark heart has actually begun a process similar to keratinization, and the surface has grown overlapping lines like the feathers of a bird of prey.

Between the lines, there seemed to be eyes interlaced and blinking slightly.

But that was just an illusion of muscles squirming and lines twisting.

As time passed, White Owl's heart completed its second remodeling.

"Devour the blood of fear and condense the heart of the demon bird."

“Boom!”

The heart of the demon bird restarted and beat exaggeratedly, like an extremely powerful water pump, squeezing blood to every corner of the body's blood vessels. Because from this perspective, the white owl's body was as transparent as crystal.

It can be clearly seen that a heart is connected to a large black web, covering the entire body, which is thousands of times denser and more complex than a spider web.

Swish!!!

An invisible wave spread out, sweeping across the surroundings like a strange magnetic field that carried fear. Wave-like folds appeared in the dust on the ground.

Senior Brother Wu Binghe once told Bai Xiao that once a person develops a morbid fear, it is often accompanied by significant neurological disorders, resulting in reactions such as palpitations, difficulty breathing, trembling limbs, incontinence, etc. What's worse, they scare themselves to death.

Just like the fear rigidity of animals, as if it comes from the instinct of genes and blood. Once frightened, they will uncontrollably enter a state of suspended animation.

As for the Demon Bird Secret Codex, once it is used, it will create a passive state of fear and stiffness in the surrounding area. Any enemy that enters a certain range of the White Owl's body will be judged as fearful according to its mental will.

If the other party is weak-willed and low-spirited.

It is very likely that your brain will go blank in an instant, you will be at a loss, your limbs will lose coordination, and you will be frozen in place like a wooden man.

Let the white owl slaughter you.

The strength of this passive power depends on the level of cultivation of the White Owl Demon Bird Secret Book and the difference between the White Owl's spiritual attributes and the opponent's spiritual attributes.

If the gap between the two sides is too large.

It is not impossible that the opponent will be wiped out on the spot as soon as he gets close to consciousness!

Swish!

In the shadows on the ground, Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of my sight, there seemed to be a huge dark golden pupil gradually closing, from a round sphere to a golden slit.

Finally, it quickly faded into the darkness and disappeared.

A lot of information flooded into his mind, and he was stunned for a moment before slowly standing up.

"The Demonic Bird Secret Book is not a secret weapon in the conventional sense."

"If the secret martial arts I practiced before were all physical secret martial arts, then the Magic Bird Secret Book is a spiritual secret martial art! With my spirit, I influence the spirits of others. With my fear, I devour the fear of others. Those who are defeated by me using the Magic Bird Secret Book, and those who are suppressed by me using fear, will serve me like a boxing slave! His fear will become a tonic for the Magic Bird Secret Book..."

Bai Xiao looked forward with empty eyes and muttered to himself.

Evil skill, absolutely evil skill!

The weird first impression that the Magic Bird Secret Book gave him was absolutely correct!

This thing is much more evil than the Lionheart Fist!

"I have now laid the foundation for the entry of the Demon Bird Secret Book. A sufficient amount of blood of fear has condensed into the Demon Bird Heart in my body..."

"Now, the only thing left is the hurdle of entry."

Bai Xiao had read the Magic Bird Secret Book and knew that the hallmark of entry was the materialization of fear and the activation of one's own evil spirit! The so-called evil spirit was the combination of the spiritual will and fear of the practitioner of the Magic Bird Secret Book.

Through the materialization of fear, a specific spirit is formed.

This evil spirit not only represents the cultivation level of the Magic Bird Secret Book, but also a powerful move. Similarly, it is also the incarnation of the White Owl to some extent.

Senior Brother Wu Binghe has been studying the materialization of fear for ten years, but he never expected that it would be the beginning of the Secret Book of the Magic Bird. No wonder at the end of the battle at the Fierce Bird Headquarters, he flipped through the Secret Book of the Magic Bird and was enlightened. And at the last moment, he injected the Secret Book of the Magic Bird into Bai Xiao's body. Because the Secret Book of the Magic Bird is the key to solving the nightmare of fear, and Bai Xiao, who has just entered, still has a chance.

Maybe I can find a way to escape through this mysterious martial art!

His thoughts drifted, Bai Xiao took a deep breath, and slowly sat down again.

He planned to make a concerted effort to enter the Secret Book of the Demonic Bird!

"Let's get started..."

Bai Xiao held his breath and concentrated, his hands on his knees, his back straight. He slowly moved his body, and there was a slight sound between his bones. His tendons and muscles moved, his blood and qi were vigorous, and his vitality gradually brewed.

Time passed little by little, and the darkness in front of Bai Xiao slowly brightened.

It was a black cocoon, and no one knew where it came from.

Click!

Something broke out of its shell and the sound of flapping wings flew past my ears.

Swish!!!

Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him was a green mantis, about the size of his little finger. On its body were densely packed black lines that looked like a demon, twisting and wriggling hideously. An extremely condensed breath of fear was compressed together.

"Devil Mantis!"

"Fear the Predators!"

The name popped up in his mind, and various characteristics flashed through his mind.

"Bloodthirst, predation, evolution!"

The demon mantis in front of him was at the primary stage. With continuous killing and devouring, it would gradually evolve to the advanced stage and become more and more powerful. Bai Xiao saw a huge potential in it.

“Keep fighting, keep improving.”

"Fighting will inevitably produce fear, and fear will inevitably make me strong!"

His eyes flickered and he muttered to himself.

And according to what Bai Xiao knows, the Dark World Fighting Tournament is about to begin.

High-frequency fierce battles, sufficiently powerful opponents, and professions that have not yet been unlocked may all be catalysts for the next progress of the Magic Bird Secret Book.

"Now, I should be considered a practitioner of the Secret Weapon of Fear."

"That organization called Ghost Face may come looking for me again. Even if they don't, I'm afraid I'll meet them in the subsequent Dark World Fighting Tournament..."

Bai Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't know why, after entering the Demon Bird Secret Book, he actually had an inexplicable desire for other fear secret weapons.

It's like... like, I want to swallow it...

Suddenly, a loud explosion interrupted Bai Xiao's thoughts.

He came to his senses, tiptoed, and suddenly leaped onto the roof of the building. A surging gust of wind swept over, carrying with it a stream of fire.

Large patches of gray fog were blown away.

Bai Xiao could vaguely see that a violent explosion had occurred at the southern end of Zhengzhan City, which was closest to him. A huge orange-red fireball rose up like a mushroom cloud. Bang! There was another earth-shaking tremor.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In mid-air, there were two huge shadows that cut through the sky.

One of them was a section of wall several dozen meters long, with a dim rune light flashing in its cross section, which had obviously been completely destroyed in the collision just now.

The other one was a dragon scale knight! More than four meters tall, in human form, with an extremely dangerous aura so strong that it became real, and indisputably powerful. He was wearing a set of dragon scale armor, with densely packed scales piled together, constantly flashing a fiery red color like volcanic magma.

At the place of the breastplate on the chest, there was a living, ferocious dragon head.

The dragon head roared and scarlet magma gathered in its mouth.

However, the left arm of such a mighty and majestic knight was completely torn apart, as if it had been bitten off by some wild beast. The crystal spear in his right hand was shining coldly, and it must be some kind of powerful weapon.

At this moment, it was still twisted and bent, and the tip was seriously damaged.

With a whoosh!

The Dragon Scale Knight brought with him a huge gust of wind and slammed into a residential area in Zhengzhan City, just like a meteorite falling to the ground, causing a violent shock.

Bai Xiao's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't have time to turn around and look.

Conquest City, southern end of the city wall.

More intense explosions were heard, and the peak battle entered a white-hot stage.

One after another, towering black shadows forced their way in through the gap. Countless flames exploded on them, forming blooming golden-red flowers.

However, these terrifying giants still walked firmly, carrying extremely powerful might. While fighting with the defenders of the city, they plowed a hollow road in the buildings of the Battle City and killed straight to a position...

Beidou Temple!!!

"This is……"

Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes in shock and was about to make the next move.

However, a familiar feeling of detachment gradually came over me.

"Time is up……"

The sky was spinning, the space was shaking, and he seemed to be separated from some special frequency, returning to his most original state bit by bit.

Cold, trembling, resonating...

The headquarters of the Fierce Bird Clan, the fighting gym, and the martial arts arena.

Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from the terrifying nightmare.

He took a deep breath, and the rise and fall of his chest gradually subsided.

This time, the goal was achieved. The Magic Bird Secret Code was successfully activated, and the Beidou Temple inside the Battle City was explored. The powerful beings inside were beyond imagination. Of course, what excited Bai Xiao the most was the terrifying giant shadows in the gray fog that he saw before leaving. They had broken through the Battle City and killed their way in.

In addition, there are densely packed terrifying creatures that also rush in.

I don't know if the next time I enter the nightmare of fear, the danger level of this area will soar to an extreme level. Of course, danger and opportunity coexist. The totem giant Gundra has obtained a recruitment certificate and can recruit a combat team. Bai Xiao also learned that he can upgrade his military rank in the Seven Star Square...

If you are strong enough, danger can be turned into opportunity.

Bai Xiao sat there and looked out the window. On the damaged street, many disciples of the Fierce Bird School were repairing facilities and rebuilding a complete headquarters. Tall ornamental trees were planted one after another.

The green leaves swayed in the wind, rustling.

He closed the book on the table and suddenly remembered that he still had five bottles of mercury potion that he hadn't used. That was the reward from the Magic Cloud Group. He wondered if after injecting all of them, he could upgrade his biological armors to the maximum level?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiao was about to take action...

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling arose in my heart.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

"A fighter?!"

Just as Senior Brother Wu Binghe said, the process of entering a fear nightmare is a process of feeling the frequency. Bai Xiao and he have innate advantages. As long as they are not too dull, they will soon be able to find an opportunity to break through!

In addition, it seems that part of the credit is also due to the passive ability of Amazing Wisdom.

"call!"

Bai Xiao let out a long breath and instantly sat cross-legged.

He was alone, standing in the center of the martial arts arena.

An invisible yet powerful wave spread across the surface of the body.

…

In a guild hall in Huaishui City.

A figure wearing a light red combat suit stood quietly. He was probably in his thirties, with a sharp eagle-like gaze, giving people a faint sense of oppression. The loose cuffs of the combat suit were embroidered with golden flame patterns.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow. Anyway, we are not far from Huaishui City. We can get there in a few hours. There will be no problem tomorrow afternoon..."

On the other side, two middle-aged men in their forties nodded slightly. They had a long breath, thick calloused hands, and strong strength. The two men came from outside Huaishui City. They were the elders of two schools specially invited by Liehuo Martial Arts School. They also planned to bring their disciples to participate in the martial arts exchange meeting.

Before the Dark World Fighting Competition, having such a competition platform to test the strength of the disciples can be regarded as a very good rehearsal.

"Two elders, then we have a deal."

A smile appeared on the face of the man in red.

Luo Yan, the deputy head of Liehuo Martial Arts School, was in charge of organizing this exchange meeting. Not only the four major schools in Huaishui City, he also invited two powerful schools from other cities to be witnesses. Let's witness the end of the era when the fierce bird school had been the only one in Huaishui City for decades!

I will kill you while you are sick.

The Fiery Martial Arts School wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the Fierce Bird School and replace it, becoming the most powerful secret martial arts school in Huaishui City in the next few decades!
