Chapter 433: Stepping into the Peak School Master! (6k)

Bai Xiao looked straight ahead.

"Dark red."

Following a call, a red glow like a sunset quickly enveloped the entire martial arts competition. The mysterious power acted on the victory posture task, continuously extracting the victory value from it.

“Huahuahua…”

The four-digit victory value quickly dropped to single digits.

After two or three breaths.

Bai Xiao blinked, and red light gathered on his retina.

【Dark Red Modifier】

[Potential points: 488.8 → 593.8]

The number of potential points is close to six hundred, which is sufficient replenishment.

"There are still three battles to come, the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the final. If the number of potential points I get in each game can be comparable to that of Kamius, the Fist of Dark Light, then my total number of potential points may break through four digits and reach more than a thousand for the first time!" Bai Xiao's eyes flickered.

He felt that this was not impossible. Because the competition format after the quarterfinals of the martial arts competition was quite different from the current one. Before the quarterfinals, many contestants would compete against each other in pairs, and the winner would advance to the next round.

However, after the quarterfinals, the eight contestants were directly divided into two groups. One group of four people, discussing and fighting each other. The complexity of the battle and the amount of information during the fight are far beyond what can be compared before the quarterfinals. Each quarterfinalist will face three other quarterfinal-level opponents at the same time. Sometimes, you need to be wary of them reaching a tacit understanding and attacking you at the same time. Sometimes, you may also have a tacit understanding with the other quarterfinalists and choose the one who looks the weakest and eliminate him first.

In a group of four, only the last two people can stand and advance to the next round. In this process, the intensity of the fighting and killing is simply incomparable to that before the quarterfinals. If Bai Xiao plays a game in this mode, perhaps the victory value obtained from the undefeated posture mission will be beyond imagination.

“The harvest at that time will be very tempting indeed.”

"But, I have to prepare for the worst. What if, in the quarterfinals, the other three contestants attack me at the same time and want to eliminate me first? I am afraid that I can't take it completely now. Especially if there are people like Sword Demon Light Eagle among them, they will be the biggest threat to my winning the championship..."

Bai Xiao was thinking quietly, his mind working quickly.

"So, before the quarterfinals, I'd better be able to gain the strength to not be afraid of the siege of three people. Even in the worst case scenario, I can stand firm and remain calm! Tonight... I must break through to the peak school master!"

Gradually, he came to his senses and raised his head.

His sharp eyes penetrated the glass in the hall and looked towards the battlefield.

As expected, as the martial arts competition progressed, there were many exciting matches between the top 16 and the top 8. The first match was between White Owl and Camus, and the second match was between Simon the Magic Bear and Tang Qi the Soul Devouring Spear. Both of them were masters of the third echelon of this martial arts competition.

Bai Xiao's eyes swept far away and lingered on Tang Qi.

He originally thought that Soul Devouring Spear Tang Qi became famous because he had a Soul Devouring Spear in his hand. He never thought that at this moment, Tang Qi, who was fighting with the demon bear Simon, was carrying several mithril and black iron spears behind him.

The gun barrels stretched left and right, just like spider legs growing from the back.

The power of these guns was amazing. Not only could they be used as cold weapons for close combat, but they could also be thrown out at a very fast speed. With burning spirit, secret weapons, and decades of special skills and techniques, they could launch the guns like missiles. Some of them hit the ground, creating a deep pit with a diameter of tens of meters. Some of them hit the cliff, creating a circular cave.

At this moment, even the demon bear Simon, the master of horizontal training who defeated Tianlong Ao Feng, was beaten to a bloody mess and roared. From afar, a huge ancient bear formed by the condensation of black spirit was staggering and covered with wounds by the black iron spear. Finally, two iron spears were stabbed in the chest. It jumped hard, but was still knocked away.

He fell heavily to the ground, losing his ability to fight.

Before the referee announced the result of the match, Simon barely raised his head, looked at Tang Qi with a hideous and bloody face, coughed violently a few times, and asked from a distance.

"Tell me, what kind of shooting is this?!"

“Tatta…”

On the messy ground, a figure slowly walked over.

An inexplicable feeling of nostalgia rose on Tang Qi's face.

"Siyu Spear."

"Silk Jade Spear!?"

Simon the Demon Bear muttered with a blank look on his face.

"This spearmanship is obviously extremely violent, how can there be any subtle meaning?"

"No, it's the longing of missing someone, not the thread of missing someone."

"Yu'er, my Yu'er."

Tang Qi held the spear in his hand, as if he was stroking his lover's hand bones.

"Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved me, her name was Yu..."

"Okay, stop talking!"

Simon raised his palm and slapped his forehead, then fainted.

"Tang Qi wins!"

…

In the waiting hall.

As a spectator, Bai Xiao watched the subsequent seven games.

From around one in the afternoon until about six in the evening.

In the process, he saw one of the heaviest fights of all.

Xiao from the United States of San Luo versus Dao Mo from the Tian Xia Federation.

This fight was the most exciting one since the martial arts competition began. Dao Mo was definitely in the first echelon among the top schools and had already taken steps towards the Grandmaster realm. Xiao Gui, on the other hand, was in the second echelon and only had a little less experience than the first echelon. The duel between the two masters had everyone extremely excited and they were looking forward to a big battle.

As a result, the performance on the field was unexpected.

Xiaogui lost the game at a very fast speed. He was seriously injured, and a cut almost split his body from left to right, breaking it in two. No one knew what happened at that moment. In short, when everyone reacted, Xiaogui had already flown out, with blood gushing out of his chest. The sword demon slowly retracted the invisible blade.

For a moment, there were waves of noisy and boiling sounds coming from the audience seats, and with the echoes from the Yunshan Valley, it was just like a chorus at a concert. The eardrums vibrated, the sky was boiling, and it almost shook the valley down.

"What on earth just happened?!"

"Is the winner decided now? Isn't Xiaogui the second tier after Dao Mo and Guang Ying? If he were ranked all the way down, he would be at least fourth or fifth. How could he be so vulnerable to Dao Mo... and collapse at the first touch?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all!"

Among the people present.

The few people who could see what was going on were waiting in the hall.

Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of solemnity flashed across his face.

He could feel that Xiaogui was not vulnerable, and the gap between him and Dao Mo was not as big as it appeared. The scene that just appeared should be related to Dao Mo's forbidden secret weapon, perhaps some kind of forbidden power.

Sword Demon, definitely take it seriously.

However, the battle situation shown was too impactful. It looked like the Blade Demon easily defeated Xiao Gui and eliminated him on the spot.

"What a sword demon..."

“No wonder he is respected as a half-step master in the Eastern Secret Martial Arts World!”

Bai Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze.

He glanced at the people in other directions, all of whom had serious looks and slightly frowned brows. Anyone who wanted to win the martial arts competition would have an obstacle in front of them. If they couldn't defeat the sword demon, they wouldn't be able to win the final crown!

Time passed quickly and it was already 6:20 in the evening.

At dusk, the sky was filled with twilight, and there were layers of clouds piled up on the horizon, with a circle of flaming waves floating at the bottom. The sun was about to set, and the bottom outline disappeared below the horizon.

Battle Square area.

The host in red appeared again and announced loudly.

"Today's game ends here."

"Tomorrow morning, the quarterfinals will be held."

"It's called, Yunshan Lundao!"

Waiting hall.

Bai Xiao's mind was empty and he glanced at the remaining contestants around him.

Sword Demon, Light Eagle, Spirit King.

Soul Devouring Spear Tang Qi, Blazing Sky Percy, Ghost Mastiff Rhine, and Paladin.

Plus myself.

The top eight candidates have all emerged.

Some of them may not be qualified to appear in the list according to the ranking. However, sometimes, luck is also a part of strength.

After the game was declared over.

Many spectators and contestants left the Yunshan Valley one after another. Looking down from the sky, they turned into small black dots heading towards Donghai City.

Inside the valley.

Only the top eight candidates stayed and waited for the reward.

Until six forty.

Bai Xiao then got on the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School's special car and headed for the Elephant Mountain outside Donghai City. There was a black suitcase in the back seat of the car.

…

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Qunxiang Mountain, in the backyard of the new mountain gate of Longxiang Martial Arts School.

The white owl stood quietly in an open space.

He had just checked that the reward for the top eight of the martial arts competition was a total of one catty and one tael of enlightenment tea. Converted, it was about eleven taels.

The quality of tea fluctuates.

On average, it's between nine and eight years.

It was better than Bai Xiao had imagined. As the organizer of the martial arts competition, the Martial Arts Association did not skimp on the minimum reward.

Maybe it’s because this is a world-class event?

All in all, this is a good thing for White Owl.

"Chi..."

He slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, and the light in his eyes gradually focused.

"despair."

Bai Xiao took a step and immediately took off into the air like a rocket, flying towards the mountainside of Qunxiang Mountain.

Beneath a mountain wall, an ancient courtyard stands quietly.

The whole courtyard seemed to appear out of thin air, with no road connecting it in front. Behind it, there was a clear mountain spring, gurgling down, and a deep pool of clear water, bluestone trees. Adding a pavilion in the middle, it immediately gave people a feeling of a dynamic ink painting.

"despair."

In the pavilion in the center of the secluded pond.

A figure wearing black and gold combat uniform suddenly appeared.

Bai Xiao took a look at the beautiful natural scenery around him and sat down cross-legged quietly. He was right in the middle of the pavilion, and the pavilion was right in the middle of the secluded pool. The spring water on the mountain wall behind him was gurgling, and a small waterfall was falling.

There is an unusually abundant amount of water vapor.

In front of us, the quaint courtyard was lit up, illuminating the area from afar. Although it was not as clear as during the day, it was not too dim.

"Before trying to break through to the peak school master."

“Do everything you can and push yourself to your limits in the truest sense of the word.”

White Owl took a deep breath.

His back was straight, and his whole body was as strong as a pine tree.

Within sight, four top-notch secret techniques were quietly suspended in the air.

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head" and "Five Qis Returning to the Origin".

"Thunder and Fire Burn the Body" and "One Thought Brings the Universe".

Especially the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, which were prepared by Bai Xiao for the forbidden secret technique. He must improve these to perfection in advance.

"These secret techniques are originally top-notch, or close to top-notch. After breaking through the limit, I'm afraid they can reach the half-step forbidden level..."

Bai Xiao looked forward, and his mind suddenly focused.

[Skill: Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, Three Flowers in the Niwan (1/2300)] +

…

…

…

There are dark red plus signs behind each of the four skills.

"Fortunately, I have enough potential points."

“It is entirely possible to improve these all at once.”

Bai Xiao's mind moved, and he started to cheat.

"Dark red, all upgraded!"

Suddenly, the mysterious power of the dark red modifier enveloped the entire martial arts main profession. The status bars of the four skills were shaking and blurring.

Time passes by every second.

At a certain moment, Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils flashed with brilliance.

[Your profession "Master of Martial Arts", experience +1020! ]

[Skills "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head" and "Five Qis Gathering at the Origin" experience +2300! ]

[Skills "Thunder and Fire Burning Body" "One Thought of the Universe" Experience +2200! ]

[Your skills "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head", "Five Qis Returning to the Origin", "Thunder and Fire Burning the Body", and "One Thought of the Universe" have been upgraded to the "Ultimate Realm"! ]

He looked down quickly, his gaze fixed.

【Dark Red Modifier】

[Potential Points: 413.8]

The next second, Bai Xiao's entire body shook, as if he couldn't hold back the energy in his body. Every pore in his body suddenly opened up, emitting a surging white-gold spirit that swept across the surrounding area. The hot magnetic field expanded, causing ripples to appear on the water surface.

He sat cross-legged with his brows lowered and eyes closed, just like a Buddha.

Many powerful changes occurred rapidly in Bai Xiao's body, like the roar of a dragon or elephant. The wildly surging blood and qi were suppressed inch by inch, and calm was restored. All the power was controlled again.

The three flowers gathered at the top of his head, becoming even more holy, floating in the air. The three flowers seemed to overlap, forming a halo behind his head.

In the chest and abdomen, the five qi converge and circulate. It is like a colorful circular spinning top, spinning rapidly. Its existence is like a gyroscope, which keeps spinning at high speed to keep the whole instrument balanced.

Once it stops rotating, the huge instrument will be seriously damaged.

The thunder and fire burned his body with greater power. It seemed as if dark red magma was flowing between his pores, and thick, crackling lightning flashed across his body.

After the third stage, the unprecedented fourth stage was unlocked. The speed was increased from the original limit of nine times to twelve times!

"No one in this world can possess so many top secret martial arts and skills like I do. My sweat and hard work along the way have not been in vain..." Bai Xiao murmured to himself, speaking with some emotion.

Afterwards, he slowly ended his power, and his spirit rolled back like a whirlpool.

The white owl stood at the edge of the pavilion, motionless.

“Clatter…”

Something was rapidly surging up from beneath the pool of water.

A few seconds later, a glazed lotus pedestal of enlightenment floated above the water.

"despair."

He took a step forward and walked up.

Bai Xiao crossed his legs again and sat in the center of the lotus platform. As the entire platform floated around in the pool of water, he felt a sense of freedom and ease.

He calmed down and gradually adjusted himself to the best state.

The night is getting darker and darker, and the bright moon is hanging on the branches.

At this moment, Bai Xiao opened his eyes.

He simply picked up the cup of enlightenment tea next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

Like swallowing a whale.

“Buzz…”

At the same time, he activated his Pure Heart talent and entered a state of cultivation. The sounds of insects, leaves rubbing against each other, and water rushing that were still ringing in his ears all began to fade away quickly.

Even the whole world was like an ink painting splashed with water. All the colors faded, the outlines disappeared, and only a blank slate remained.

And in the world, there is only Bai Xiao.

Sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, floating in the white sea.

Forget yourself and feel fulfilled.

The effect of the enlightenment tea made his brain feel cool. From the top of his head, a constant stream of inspiration flowed down like a stream.

Ding ding dong dong, nourishing the spirit.

At this moment, in Bai Xiao's mind, dozens of books on secret martial arts and techniques that he had practiced and improved, all kinds of skills and contents, flashed before his eyes at an extremely fast speed. It was like a revolving lantern, reviewing his own martial arts again.

“Buzz…”

Below, the glass enlightenment lotus platform began to glow and heat up, and in an instant it resonated with Bai Xiao. The master's enlightenment inside was involuntarily drawn out. The vast and majestic rhythm flowed quickly, turning into wisps of blood-colored mist, immersing the water surface in the surrounding area and shrouding it in a hazy manner.

Maybe it was because Bai Xiao drank too much enlightenment tea at one time.

This time, the master's will leaked from the glass enlightenment lotus platform was unprecedentedly strong. It even turned into a human figure on the water surface.

It's blurry and only the general outline of the limbs can be seen.

These figures constantly practiced their own moves, slowly dismantling them, and finally connecting them into one, just like a shadow puppet painting, recording many insights.

White Owl breathed slightly.

All the pores on the body suddenly opened.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish…”

Suddenly, from all directions, blood-smoke figures were enveloped by a huge vortex. Like young swallows returning to their nests, they entered the body of the white owl.

Eat and drink to your heart's content, swallowing with big mouthfuls.

His whole body was shaking violently, as if he had touched something tonic. His mental state began to rise sharply, as if his feet were equipped with rocket launchers. Bai Xiao's secret martial arts were vibrating at the same time, as if a certain martial arts will was about to be born, and he was about to break through the limit of the master of the transformation realm.

“Nothing, nothing, nothing…”

The earth shook and the sky trembled.

In this pure white world, he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Moo!!!"

"roar!!!"

Bai Xiao was shocked to discover.

He was sitting cross-legged on the back of a huge ancient glazed elephant, as heavy as Mount Tai, with its back supporting the sky. Every move he made was like the tortoise used by Nuwa to mend the sky, with its four limbs supporting the four poles of heaven and earth, affecting the entire world.

And Bai Xiao also saw it.

This ancient elephant god was wrapped with a golden mythical holy dragon, and its winding scales were like a mountain range, stretching for thousands of miles.

If you look carefully, you can find it.

The Ganesha and the Holy Dragon are one and the same, not two creatures!

Just like Xuanwu, the tortoise and the snake are united as one, forming an eternal rock.

The creature under the white owl is ancient and wild, like a myth.

Every move spoke of unprecedented tyranny and violence, as if he could crush the entire world, cross the void, and re-establish the world.

"Dragon elephant!?"

A name inexplicably appeared in his heart.

That was not taken by Bai Xiao, but a kind of mysterious induction.

"Between heaven and earth, in the void..."

"Is there really such a mythical creature? Called the Dragon Elephant!?"

He had thousands of doubts in his mind.

But, the next second.

A huge force that expanded like the vast ocean shot out from Bai Xiao's body. Even his tough and horrible body felt the pain of being torn apart. Bai Xiao groaned.

“Crack!”

Everything before my eyes seemed like an illusion, shattered on the spot.

He suddenly came back to reality and opened his eyes.

In his pupils, golden light shone brightly, shooting far into the sky. Like a searchlight, it flew an unknown number of meters above the suburbs.

"The will of the dragon elephant..."

White Owl muttered to himself, looking down at his hands.

Behind him, there was a huge shadow like a mythical creature, emerging from the void and standing quietly like a statue.

"Plus, the spirit of transformation that has already been tempered to the extreme."

Bai Xiao stood up suddenly.

The terrifying aura and power that he had been suppressing inside his body finally stopped being concealed. With a loud bang, a tsunami surged on the Elephant Mountain. The endless power of his spirit expanded rapidly, and completely submerged the entire mountain.

“Boom boom boom…”

The surrounding area was like an earthquake. Leaves rustled and shook, gravel vibrated and bounced. Birds and beasts fell down and trembled, as if they were kneeling down to worship a supreme being. Some people even urinated and excreted, their livers and gallbladders were broken, and they were frightened to death in the mountains and forests.

Tomorrow morning, I'm afraid there will be corpses everywhere here.

A group of elephants in the mountains.

Bai Xiao didn't move at all.

He only felt that his strength and realm were rising madly.

Vigorous increase, crazy increase, explosive increase!

In just one breath, Bai Xiao seemed to see a bottleneck that was blocking him. With a thought, he gathered his strength and gently crashed into it.

With a click!

That bottleneck was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and it was directly crushed and broken through.

"boom!"

Bai Xiao's eyes lit up and white light exploded.

His aura was finally no longer concealed and was revealed among the mountains of elephants.

The top school master!!!
