Chapter 458: Extreme Freedom, Half-Step Grandmaster!

Bai Xiao's spirit suddenly shook, and his attention quickly focused.

Ahead, the class panel was hazy and distorted, with flashing black numbers dancing wildly. The martial arts class had undergone a ferocious transformation.

Time passes by little by little.

Finally, there was a buzzing sound.

[Your profession "Master of Martial Arts" is elevated to "King of Secret Martial Arts"! ]

[Occupation: Secret Weapon King LV.1 (4270/19000)]

"The King of Secret Weapons?"

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, and another black message flashed before his eyes.

[You have obtained a new extraordinary class "King of Secret Weapons"! ! ! ]

[You have obtained the new extraordinary class passive "Become a Buddha"! ! ! ]

He took a deep breath. Without realizing it, his profession as a fighter had reached an unimaginable level. He became the king and the overlord, and even a Buddha!

Bai Xiao slowly exhaled a breath of hot air and his attention suddenly focused.

Suddenly, the specific information about the passive ability of the extraordinary profession appeared before his eyes.

Become a Buddha and a Patriarch: You are the founder of multiple forbidden secret martial arts. You simultaneously master the ultimate path in all five major aspects of the secret martial arts, standing at the source. Next, as you break through from the peak of your school to the Grandmaster realm, the five forbidden secret martial arts you master will have a global impact. All secret martial arts practitioners, whether through a moment of enlightenment, a flash of inspiration, or deep contemplation, may at some point suddenly realize the power of your five forbidden secret martial arts. This allows them to create their own unique moves or even entirely new secret martial arts. However, these moves and secret martial arts are all part of your five forbidden secret martial arts system, which can be called the Dao. Your loyal disciples will randomly appear throughout the secret martial arts world.

Bai Xiao raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

Becoming a Buddha or a patriarch is passive, and it can actually affect the world?

This characteristic inexplicably resembles the root existence within the void that Guild Master Ouyang described, its power transcending the void and influencing this world. Becoming a Buddha or a Patriarch is a miniature version of this, unable to achieve such a distance, but it can still have a similar impact! Between heaven and earth, all secret martial arts practitioners have a chance to randomly comprehend some fragment of the White Owl's five forbidden secret weapons.

Unintentionally became his disciple.

And this seems to be related to Bai Xiao's previous passive.

The Heart of a Master: As a martial arts master, you possess a broad and inclusive mind. Your martial arts have reached perfection, even forging a path all your own. You recruit disciples, passing down your traditions, allowing more to learn your martial arts, ultimately establishing your own school. While imparting knowledge and answering questions, you are also reviewing your own learning, gradually accumulating insight. When your insight and understanding reach a sufficient level, you can transform a secret martial art into something more profound.

These two passive abilities, combined, seemed to unleash a startling chemical reaction. Since Bai Xiao established the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School, he had taught his disciples the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts, but the time was too short to produce any significant results. However, with the passive ability of Becoming a Buddha, the situation seemed different. If time wasn't enough, numbers would make up for it. With enough people, unimaginable effects could still be unleashed, unlocking vast amounts of spiritual enlightenment.

"If spiritual enlightenment can be applied to forbidden secret weapons, then a positive cycle will be created. The stronger the forbidden secret weapon, the greater its influence on the world. The more disciples will comprehend my martial arts, the more spiritual enlightenment they will gain, and the stronger the forbidden secret weapon will become. It will be endless..."

Bai Xiao muttered to himself, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

His eyelids drooped as he came to his senses.

After waiting carefully for a moment, another large piece of black information rolled down.

[The following is the professional enhancement of the main profession, the martial arts master]

A second later, more content emerged.

"Enhancement 1: Strength Over Mountains and Rivers (Increases Strength attribute by 30 points)"

"Reinforcement 2: King (When all four attributes remain at the same level, such as 240, 250, or 260, you will automatically enter King form, and all attributes will increase by one tenth until you exit King form.)"

"Enhancement 3: Dragon-Elephant Taotie (The dragon-swallowing state of the forbidden secret weapon Kunpeng Swallowing Dragon Diagram you cultivate requires the sacrifice of at least one dragon-type secret weapon each time it is used. After the sacrifice, the dragon-type secret weapon becomes unusable for a considerable period of time. This drawback will become more serious as you frequently use Kunpeng Swallowing Dragon Diagram. However, once you have the Dragon-Elephant Taotie enhancement, you can ignore the unusable state and directly swallow it with the Dragon Elephant Sutra, and still gain normal benefits, unaffected by Kunpeng Swallowing Dragon)"

"Enhancement 4: Destiny Evolution (The passive Destiny of your extraordinary profession can evolve and increase the probability of its effect. Every time the main martial arts profession advances a level, the passive Destiny is enhanced once, up to a maximum of three times)"

[Reinforcement 5: Ultimate Intention (When you break through the peak school master, the martial arts will you comprehend can use this enhancement effect. Based on the level of martial arts will you originally comprehended, it will be forcibly sublimated to a higher level)]

At this moment, there is no need to hesitate.

"Choose Enhancement Five!"

"Ultimate!!!"

Bai Xiao's mind moved, and his attention was fixed on the last option.

Suddenly, the entire career enhancement panel vibrated slightly, and the other four enhancement options disappeared, leaving only the extreme enhancement light that became increasingly stronger.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Strengthen five, and with a whoosh, it merged into the white owl's body.

All of a sudden, amazing changes occurred.

[You have the enhanced option "Extreme"! ]

“Boom!”

His whole body surged with energy, as blazing as the magma of a volcanic eruption, instantly engulfing half of Mount Qunxiang. The next second, an unparalleled martial spirit surged forth, encompassing heaven and earth.

The giant shadows of dragons and elephants stood tall and upright, stomping their hooves and raising their noses, roaring to the sky.

The vast Kunpeng, in black and gold colors, fell down like a majestic mountain.

Above the clouds, the fairy figure floats in the air, riding the wind.

On the top of the mountain, there is the Huangting Pavilion and the sound of stringed instruments.

There is also a terrifying phantom of hell, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Five energies in the chest, five intentions in the mind"!

"Extreme Intention"!

The two major professions strengthen their cooperation, resonate with each other, and their power is infinitely enhanced!

“Empty, empty, empty, empty…”

Gusts of wind swept across the heavens and earth, directly blowing away the thick clouds above, revealing a crimson dome near dusk. The terrifying will of the martial arts twisted the air, forming circles of visible high-frequency shock waves that frantically impacted everything around them.

At this moment, Bai Xiao's martial will suddenly surged, soaring like a rocket, an invisible flame blazing. He had already reached the peak of the late stage of the master of his school, and his martial will was so condensed and profound that it was almost like a physical object. At this moment, a qualitative change occurred, and a magical power that transformed decay into something new was injected into his body from the void.

"roar!!!"

A terrifying roar shook the heavens and the earth and swept across the universe.

White Owl's entire body erupted in platinum-colored light, his aura incredibly powerful. He hovered in mid-air, like a descending god of war.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

Behind Bai Xiao, the ground shook five times in succession, as the fifth-level forbidden beings descended. They were no longer illusions, but tangible, visible, and tangible mythical beasts! This was the very nature of the Grandmaster realm: a single thought could transform the imaginary into the tangible, possessing unimaginable and terrifying power! Through his ultimate strengthening, Bai Xiao had unexpectedly acquired the characteristics of the Grandmaster realm in advance.

Next, if he breaks through to Grandmaster, he can reach the highest level of sublimation once more. I wonder how Bai Xiao's martial arts will change by then?

“Huh, chi!”

In mid-air, a figure covered in white and golden light took a breath.

The huge figures around him suddenly disintegrated and turned into surging waves of energy, returning to the body of the white owl like young swallows returning to their nests.

"If I want, it seems I can use the martial arts will of turning the void into reality, burn my strength, and temporarily gain the lethality of a grandmaster!"

He murmured to himself, quite satisfied.

…

"call out!"

A platinum figure floated back into the courtyard.

Bai Xiao sat cross-legged, gradually adjusting his state. His slightly agitated mood calmed down, his chest no longer heaving violently, and his breathing became even. In front of him, the attributes that had just been significantly improved appeared.

Strength: 270.0 (25.9 → 58.4)

Speed: 270.0 (22.0 → 42.1)

[Physique: 270.0] (39.5 → 77.6)

Willpower: 270.0 (31.9 → 48.7)

Strength +32.5, speed +20.1, physique +38.1, intention +16.8.

Having spent over a thousand potential points to upgrade twelve second-rate or higher Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons, he naturally received a significant boost. Bai Xiao's strongest physical attribute had already overflowed by a full seventy-seven points. If he broke through to the Grandmaster realm, his physical attribute would instantly reach nearly three hundred and fifty!

As for the others, they have all exceeded three hundred and one.

"I've exhausted all my potential point reserves to reach this point."

Bai Xiao took a deep breath and felt a little emotional.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled out a fruit emitting a faint emerald green glow. It was the seed of the Enlightenment Tree. Just now, he had been frantically upgrading his secret weapon, and naturally, he had made some progress in the late stage of the Peak School Master, but it was still a little short. If he wanted to reach the bottleneck below Grandmaster, he had to use this item.

"call out!"

Bai Xiao's figure flashed and he appeared directly in the green lake.

He sat cross-legged with a crystal-clear glass lotus platform beneath him.

Next second.

He picked up the seed of the Enlightenment Tree and put it directly into his mouth.

Suddenly, a unique rhythm of enlightenment emanated, enveloping the surrounding area and causing shimmering ripples to appear on the surface of the pool.

That astonishing enlightenment effect, while not as good as that of a tea tree, far surpassed the so-called three- to five-year-old tea leaves, reaching a level below a tree and above ten thousand leaves. Its richness instantly intoxicated Bai Xiao.

In the mouth, the flesh of the enlightenment tree seed melted slightly, emitting a rich fragrance, and turned into a crystal clear green liquid like jade that flowed down.

Being absorbed by the body inch by inch.

He quickly entered the state of enlightenment and resonated with the enlightenment lotus platform.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Billowing clouds of blood smoke surged out, suffusing the surrounding area like a thick fog engulfing half of Elephant Mountain. Inside, lifelike figures could be seen, explaining the principles of secret martial arts and demonstrating techniques in person, like a shadow play.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

All the bloody figures were sucked into the vortex at once.

The white owl devoured madly, and his entire hair was dyed red.

This was the most master's insight he had ever absorbed.

Time passed slowly, the sun set, the moon and stars became dim. Then dark clouds came over the sky again, blocking the bright moon, and occasional lightning flashed across the sky.

“Boom!”

At midnight, a huge thunder erupted overhead.

"Boom!"

The downpour suddenly came, and the dark sky seemed to be collapsing. Bean-sized raindrops slammed into the trees, knocking the leaves down. The flowing rainwater gathered into a stream in the open space.

At the pool, the waterfall became more violent and roaring.

Across the turbulent water, a figure sat cross-legged, motionless. He sat on a lotus pedestal, drifting with the current.

Rain splashed onto the figure's body and face, soaking them all and exploding into splashes of water. The misty water vapor was like a layer of gauze, draped over the body.

This situation lasted for half an hour.

Finally, at a certain moment.

The tall figure's eyelids suddenly twitched and opened instantly.

“Crackle!!!”

At the top of the sky, among the dark clouds, a huge bolt of lightning struck.

Below, a stream of platinum-colored light shot up into the sky, and Bai Xiao's eyes burst out with blazing golden light, like a glass statue of a god, with an extremely terrifying aura.

"Bang!"

The terrifying momentum actually shattered the clouds and dispersed the rain. The strong wind dissipated, the torrential rain faded, leaving only a clear sky.

The storm stops with one thought.

“Swish.”

On the glazed enlightenment lotus platform, a tall figure slowly stood up.

"Ultimate Freedom, the King of Secret Weapons..."

His five fingers were clenched into fists, as if he was holding the world in his grasp.

"The pinnacle of limit, half-step to Grandmaster!"

The white owl suddenly let out a long roar, and the remaining dark clouds shattered into pieces.

…

The next day, September 29th.

Tianxia Federation, Imperial Capital, Headquarters of the Martial Arts Association.

A figure wearing a black and gold dragon elephant combat suit reappeared at the mountain gate. He walked slowly in, unimpeded, until he reached a spacious martial arts arena. A young man in gray stood with his hands behind his back.

It seems to be quietly waiting for something.

"despair."

A tall, dark-haired figure suddenly appeared at the archway.

"white……"

"Your aura?"

Ouyang Ming looked at Bai Xiao and was about to speak when his eyes quickly focused. He suddenly sensed the aura of someone about to break through to the Grandmaster level.

"Is it possible?"

ahead.

The black and gold dragon and elephant patterns on the fighting suit sparkled in the sun.

Combined with the tall and strong physique of the visitor, he looks majestic and domineering.

Bai Xiao stopped, raised his hands and clasped his fists.

"Today, I want to see the Grandmaster in person!"
