Chapter 210: The fourth level of cannonball steps, blow you up!
Bai Xiao believed that with his extraordinary talent and amazing wisdom, he could still improve the art of Cannonball Step to its limit even without relying on plug-ins. The Dark Red Modifier only slightly accelerated the process. Bai Xiao felt that it was unfair to attribute all of it to Dark Red.
Of course, the Dark Red Modifier helped him after all, so it shouldn't be too much to give him a little credit. Bai Xiao would have no objection to this.
"Dark red!"
As his mind moved, all his attention was focused on the modifier.
All of a sudden, the potential points of some mysterious energy inside turned into invisible airflow, continuously pouring into the secret weapon expert career panel.
So much so that for a moment, the display bar flickered and blurred, just like an old TV screen with a low refresh rate.
This situation lasted for about two or three breaths.
Until a red light flashed by, and a large amount of information was refreshed before my eyes.
[Your profession: "Secret Weapon Expert", experience +75! ]
[Your skill "Cannonball Pace", experience +600! ]
[Your skill "Cannonball Step Level 2" is upgraded to "Level 3"! ]
For a moment, Bai Xiao felt his legs were burning hot, as if the air around him had formed a furnace, which was constantly warming him. The room was well soundproofed, so quiet that he could vaguely hear the flesh and blood of his legs making a slight sizzling sound, and his muscles and bones slowly strengthening.
As time went by, the legs became hotter and hotter. Wisps of white mist like water vapor rose into the air through the fabric of the pants. Layers of invisible liquid were secreted, penetrating and covering the muscles and bones, and being continuously absorbed and devoured by them. Gradually, that area became tougher than steel.
“Swish.”
Bai Xiao stood up suddenly, with his knees slightly bent, his feet one on each side, standing firmly in a horse stance. He crossed his arms, raised them horizontally forward, and arched his back.
A solid stance with a lot of athleticism.
At the Dantian, the blood and qi were boiling hot. The blood pill that was vaguely suspended in it was spinning at high speed, constantly sending hot and vigorous blood and qi into the legs. Because too much blood and qi passed through in a short period of time, there was a violent and chaotic pain under the skin and flesh of the legs, accompanied by a numb and trembling feeling.
This is the normal posture for practicing the Cannonball Step.
It helps practitioners to continuously guide the body's qi and blood to the legs.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath, and his body began to rise and fall, like waves in the sea, or as if he was riding on a horse galloping on the grassland.
This process lasted for five minutes.
His body, which had just been bathed, was soaked with a little sweat, which gave his firm and elastic muscles a light honey color.
A message popped up in front of me.
[Skill: Cannonball Pace Triple (1/800)] +
Suddenly, Bai Xiao stood still again and slowly exhaled the hot air from his mouth and nose. He closed his eyes slightly, and a lot of information about how to use the cannonball step poured into his mind. For example, the force technique when starting instantly, how to form instinctive muscle memory, and the use of some explosive whip kicks and knee strikes. At this moment, Bai Xiao seemed to have practiced martial arts for several years.
He knows everything about the Cannonball Step Secret Weapon like the back of his hand.
"very good……"
He opened his eyes again, his gaze sparkling.
"continue!"
Bai Xiao's mind moved, and another dark red light flashed by at an extremely fast speed.
Ten minutes later, in a room on the eighth floor of Huali Hotel.
Next to the floor-to-ceiling windows where you can see the city night view.
A strong figure was standing in a horse stance, his lower body covered in white hot smoke. The soles of his shoes made a crackling sound, and the light white tile where he was standing began to crack inexplicably, with fine lines spreading in all directions.
There seemed to be a huge force accumulating in these strong legs that were as strong as cast iron. It was like the ropes tied to the huge cruise ship, which had been stretched to the limit.
Once broken, it can turn people nearby into blood mist fragments.
"It's reached its limit..."
White Owl muttered to himself.
Another line of information flashed quickly before my eyes.
[Your profession: "Secret Weapon Expert", experience +100! ]
[Your skill "Cannonball Pace", experience +800! ]
[Your skill "Cannonball Step Triple" is upgraded to "Quadruple"! ]
"Quadruple acceleration, even if it's just a straight-line distance, should be enough to deal with most agile players." He moved his eyes slightly downward.
[Skill: Cannonball Step Quadruple (∞/∞)]
"According to the secret manual, when the Cannonball Step is cultivated to the fourth level, it is as if there are two barrels of explosives hidden in the legs. Once ignited, the whole person will really be like being blown up, and blasted out like a cannonball. This can bring me an amazing straight-line speed for a moment..."
"But, the side effects are also significant. The gunpowder barrels at my feet will explode, and each use will cause damage. Even with a physique like mine, I cannot use the fourth level frequently in battle. Otherwise, after the explosion, I will have a weak period with inconvenient legs and feet..." Bai Xiao recalled the information in his mind.
This is even when he has reached the blood pill level and can continuously repair the damage to his feet. For a normal cultivator, a few bursts of artillery shells would be enough to stop him.
Half an hour later, Bai Xiao took another shower, changed into new clothes, and went to the hotel restaurant, where he feasted alone in a corner.
The body's energy and nutrition gradually recover, and the strengthening effect slowly appears.
[Strength: 86.6 → 89.0]
[Speed: 67.2 → 77.2]
【Physique: 92.1→95.6】
[Willpower: 61.9 → 66.1]
Strength +2.4, speed +10.0, physique +3.5, intention +4.2!
All four attributes have experienced a significant increase, especially the speed attribute, which has increased by ten points! It can be seen that the second-rate secret weapon Cannonball Step has an exaggerated increase in Bai Xiao's speed. Of course, this is also because he directly raised the third and fourth levels of Cannonball Step to the limit.
After the improvement at this moment, the speed attribute has caught up sharply.
Although there is still a gap between strength and physique, it is already quite close. Bai Xiao's shortcomings have been improved, and with the addition of the magic bird secret book on spiritual attributes, there is a promising future. He has a tendency to develop into a quadrilateral warrior, and all aspects of his attributes have completely crushed warriors of the same realm.
This is why Bai Xiao was able to fight Fang Chao to that extent a few hours ago. You know, Fang Chao has reached the third stage of a martial artist. His "essence", "qi", and part of his "spirit" have been nourished by the void energy, making him powerful and strong. Bai Xiao, on the other hand, has just entered the martial artist level and has never absorbed void energy. What he can really rely on is his exaggerated four-dimensional attributes, which forcibly smoothed the gap in realm.
The White Owl's foundation is strong enough, like a reservoir, with only a thin layer of water that is almost dry. The others are like a small pond, although the water is almost full and the height is very high. But in fact, the shallow layer of water in the White Owl reservoir is enough to fill one or even multiple ponds.
The problem he is facing now is...
How to fill up this reservoir with a huge watershed area?
"Next, I should focus on improving my realm!"
…
The sun rose and the moon set, and the next morning, the sky was overcast.
The drizzle, along with the breeze, drifted diagonally on the clear window glass, making everything blurry. Bai Xiao opened the curtains and looked at the road below. Teams were either driving to the White Flower Hall or walking along the sidewalk with umbrellas in hand. Fighting costumes had a solemn feeling.
“Knock knock knock…”
There was a knock on the door.
"Big Brother, it's time to go."
Bai Xiao grabbed the platinum training suit next to him and put it on neatly.
“Here I come.”
Two minutes later, in the lobby of Huali Hotel.
At the door, there was a slender figure in blue clothes, holding a sword in one hand and an umbrella in the other. He looked out at the rainy day, his long hair fluttering. Perhaps he heard familiar footsteps, and turned around slowly.
Ye Meng looked at the man walking towards her, slowly gazing him up and down.
He didn't speak until Bai Xiao approached.
"Your lower body seems to be more stable and stronger than yesterday..."
At eight o'clock in the morning, the modern Baihua Gymnasium was brightly lit.
Although it was raining and dark outside, the huge indoor gymnasium was not affected at all. It was still dry, clean and bright.
A referee in black announced loudly.
"Dark World Fighting Tournament, 30 to 15!"
"The second round of the elimination match officially begins!"
The loud voice reaches every genre in the audience.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole place was rekindled. The bloodthirsty and aggressive attitude of the secret martial arts practitioners towards martial arts spread like an infection.
"On the big screen, the results of the first group of ten people's draw have been announced!"
Everyone shifted their gaze and looked towards the list from afar.
Bai Xiao did not see his name in it, nor did Fang Chao and Ye Meng's names. Instead, Lei Yu, who mastered the Water-Splitting Fist, was ranked first.
"Number Five, Water Splitting Fist, Lei Yu!"
"Number 27, Iron Arm Gate, Li Wei!"
As the first match of the day, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, two contestants slowly stood on the ring. A figure wearing a fine golden training suit, although the match was about to begin, did not look at his opponent. Instead, he looked deeply at the audience. There was a man there who had made him suffer a big loss yesterday. At that time, it was because there were staff members of the Dark World Fighting Competition around him, and he suffered a loss and had no time to fight back. Otherwise, Lei Yu would definitely make the other party pay the price!
“The game begins!”
Just one minute later, the referee announced again.
"The game is over. Number Five wins!"
Lei Yu glanced at his opponent lying on the ground, then turned around and walked off the stage. He kept his eyes fixed on the direction of the fierce bird flow, which was inexplicably creepy.
"White Owl, we will definitely meet him next time, for sure!"
After about an hour, the first batch of games ended.
Another list of ten people appeared on the big screen.
White Owl found his name in the second row, and his opponent was...
"Green Blood Fist, Liu Ping!"
It was this young man I met on the first day I went to the Baihua Club.
"Finally I can warm up properly..."
Bai Xiao leaned back slowly on the chair, thinking of the information that Suga Feng had mentioned before. The Blood Fist, located in Yunzhou City, was only second to Li Guangjian, and could even be ranked in the top five in the province. The Blood Fist's senior brother Liu Ping was also a martial artist, and was definitely one of the top ten contestants in this contest.
In fact, if his mentality had not been broken by the night dream, he would have been in the top five.
Of course, it’s hard to say about the depressed Liu Ping now.
Bai Xiao was thinking quietly when a message suddenly popped up on the phone in his arms.
"Lifelong Love of Kendo": Liu Ping is quite strong, remember to be careful of his boxing. People who fight with the Blood Fist for the first time are sometimes caught off guard. Their boxing can even cause blood to flow from your arms when they collide at close range. Of course, you should also know this information...
"Dark Red": Is this the guy you defeated when you were fighting six against one?
"Lifelong love of kendo": That special state of highly concentrated energy and spirit is hard to come by. If it happens again, the situation may be different. Forget it, I won't tell you, anyway, you can probably beat him.
At Li Guangjian’s base, Ye Meng typed these words and raised his head.
He didn't think Bai Xiao would fail.
After yesterday's fight, Ye Meng had completely put Bai Xiao on the same level as himself and Fang Chao. Liu Ping could only cause a little trouble at best.
It can't change the outcome.
With a beep, a short message came.
「Dark Red」: Yeah.
Just one simple word responded to the last sentence of the dream just now.
Bai Xiao, obviously also has strong confidence!
…
"Round 2, match 7, the competition officially begins!"
"Number nine, number six!"
Following the referee's announcement, two figures slowly came to the ring.
On the left, Bai Xiao is wearing a platinum fighting suit. The tight and elastic delicate fabric outlines his bulging and hard muscles.
On the right, there was a black-haired young man wearing a black leather jacket, with messy and fluffy hair, looking decadent and gloomy. He was about 1.8 meters tall, a bit shorter than Bai Xiao, but at this moment, he looked down at him.
"Hey, did you meet?"
"I told you, don't even think about running into the Nanjiang duo. You'll never know how terrifying and suffocating their strength is. Put an end to your unrealistic fantasies. I'll eliminate you in this match and send you home in disgrace. Don't even think about meeting them again..."
Liu Ping said in a cold voice.
Opposite him, the tall and cold man suddenly laughed, as if he was amused by what Liu Ping said. He didn't say anything, just smiled. But this inexplicable smile still made Liu Ping feel uncomfortable.
Just like what he just said, it was actually a funny joke.
"snort!"
"You won't be able to laugh anymore!"
Liu Ping's eyes were slightly narrowed, his pupils were dark, and the corners of his eyes were as sharp as knives.
“The game begins!”
Beside him, the referee in black announced loudly.
"Bang!!!"
Suddenly, there was a violent earthquake-like movement.
The tall figure in Liu Ping's eyes disappeared in an instant, just like a shell fired from a tank barrel, shooting out amidst fireworks.
“Swish!”
A strong wind pressure hit Liu Ping's face hard, causing his skin and flesh to roll slightly, his hair to flutter, and his eyes to be narrowed into a line.
And in this subtle sight.
Liu Ping suddenly saw a stream of light carrying an astonishing power, coming in an instant. That savage posture was like a meteorite rubbing against the atmosphere!
"Blast you!"
