Chapter 247 Wuyuan Company
A huge black hand wrapped in a white airflow rolled over, causing the arena to shake violently.
The joints of the surrounding guardrails creaked, and the wire mesh shook like sifting chaff. Gusts of wind whistled past, even sweeping towards the audience seats behind the half of the ring where Yuan Wei was, causing the clothes and hair of many spectators to flutter. When everything was settled, a figure fell out of the ring.
Yuan Wei's body flew backwards uncontrollably, but he had enough strength to land on his feet.
That was because Bai Xiao did not go all out. His last move was not to seriously injure Yuan Wei, but just to make him fall off the stage. In fact, Bai Xiao admired Yuan Wei, or rather, admired the magic spear secret weapon. This move, which gathered the whole body's strength to penetrate the attack, could achieve the effect of breaking through the whole body with a single point.
As long as the user's body is strong enough and the fingers are tough enough, it is hard to imagine that anything can withstand the penetration of the magic spear. If it was Bai Xiao who used it just now, he felt that this move would definitely be able to penetrate his defense. But Yuanwei, after all, is a little lacking, and the strength of the magic spear is relatively limited.
Below the ring, on the open ground.
Yuan Wei stood quietly, his right hand hanging down, blood dripping from his twisted fingers, some of which stuck to his trouser legs and shoes. He raised his head silently, looking at the domineering Bai Xiao in the center of the ring, with an inexplicable expression.
"White Owl wins!"
Next to him, the referee in black quickly announced the result of the game.
Instantly, the entire arena was filled with noise and discussion. Many spectators were talking to each other, somewhat shocked by the result of the competition.
"Yuan Wei lost? From the start to the loss, the whole process was so fast that I didn't even have time to be surprised before the game was over. If I wasn't distracted at the end and I didn't see it wrong, Yuan Wei used the magic spear, right? He lost even after using the magic spear? My goodness, how abnormal must Bai Xiao's strength be..."
A bald strong man touched his head with his big hand and sighed inexplicably.
"Yuan Wei not only used the magic spear, but he used it twice! I saw it all. Both shots hit Bai Xiao, but he was just fine. I feel like the degree of his physique abnormality is comparable to that of Shan Wang Chen Xiu..."
Next to him, a tall and thin black-haired young man shook his head.
"The biggest dark horse of this Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition has appeared. Bai Xiao, it seems, is from a small or medium-sized school in a prefecture-level city in Nanjiang Province. I didn't expect that he could grow to such a level. I can't imagine how far he would have gone if he had joined a large school, with the blessing of various high-level secret martial arts and a large amount of medicinal resources."
"The Eighth Star in the East?"
A short man looked directly at the ring and spoke slowly.
Of course, these people were outsiders, and they could not see clearly what happened on the ring, nor what Bai Xiao's strong attitude to defeat Yuan Wei meant. Among the young generation watching the game, only about ten people understood.
“I knew that it was definitely not easy for someone to be targeted by Shadow Assassin Si You and Evil Ghost Face, two of the Eastern Seven Stars, and yet be unscathed in the end! Fortunately, I didn’t meet him, otherwise my fate would not be much better than Yuan Wei’s…” Feng Yan’s eyes kept flickering, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"The secret technique of extreme burst, the magic spear that can be used twice in a row and the power is not reduced at all, Yuan Wei is really good at hiding it! These two moves have never been seen before, it seems that they are specially prepared for this Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition. He originally wanted to use it on the Eastern Seven Stars, but he met the White Owl in advance, and was defeated even after using all his trump cards!"
Huo Feng took a deep breath. He had been paying attention to Bai Xiao since the first match of the fighting competition. At first, he thought that even if he couldn't defeat Bai Xiao, he could at least fight back, and if he found an opportunity, he could win the game. But now it seems that he was too optimistic and too confident.
…
In the martial arts arena, the victorious Bai Xiao walked down from the stage and headed towards the base.
He slowly sat down in his seat as the elders and fellow apprentices greeted him. Suga Feng handed him some tea, and Bai Xiao took a sip before closing his eyes to rest. His attention was focused on the screen in front of him.
[Your mission "Bounty", experience +500! ]
A gorgeous round number.
A full five hundred experience points are equivalent to ten potential points.
"Cool!"
Bai Xiao sighed in his heart.
If you want to gain potential points, you have to fight more. Especially when you meet Yuan Wei, a top master under the Eastern Seven Stars, after winning, you will get more potential points than winning the Nanjiang Province Dark World Fighting Competition. This also shows that Yuan Wei is stronger than the Nanjiang duo.
If he hadn't met Bai Xiao in advance, he wouldn't have been so unlucky to be eliminated. He could at least make it to the top 16 and rank around 8th.
His thoughts turned, and Bai Xiao lowered his gaze.
All attention is focused on the professional panels of the fighting competition players.
[Mission: Bounty (Cumulative Experience Points: 847)]
About seventeen potential points.
Plus the six potential points accumulated in the dark red modifier.
It is enough to further improve the secret martial arts skills.
Bai Xiao's mind moved, and he chose to directly extract the accumulated experience points.
"Dark red."
With a gentle call, a red light flashed, instantly covering the bounty task on the career panel. As the status bar became blurred, the black numbers inside jumped down crazily, and in the blink of an eye, they changed from three digits to two digits. When the red light faded, the experience had been converted into potential points.
[Mission: Bounty (Cumulative Experience Points: 47)]
【Dark Red Modifier】
[Potential points: 6→22]
Bai Xiao came back to his senses and looked towards the arena.
The battle above has already begun. One of the contestants is his old acquaintance, Li Guangjian Ye Meng. I don't know if it's because he gained something from the sparring with Bai Xiao, but Ye Meng's sword speed is obviously much faster, and the power of the swing is also stronger. His opponent's strength is not as good as Ye Meng's, so he is even more stretched and bleeding.
In the end, he was defeated by three swords and could no longer fight.
After this game, the morning competition is over.
After lunch break, the afternoon game will continue.
After lunch, Bai Xiao strolled along the way and came to a garden near the back mountain of Hexian Martial Arts Hall. In summer, flowers are in full bloom, red and white. The fragrance from the flowerbed lingers in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy when breathing.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped and turned slightly sideways.
“Tatta…”
Sure enough, after a moment, a sound of footsteps slowly approached.
Looking up, I saw a young man wearing a casual suit with black and white stripes on it, which made him look more serious. He was tall and slender, about 1.8 meters tall, with a shiny slicked-back hair and extremely thick eyebrows.
"Hello, Mr. White Owl."
The young man in a suit had a smile on his face and looked very elegant.
"Who are you?"
The white owl turned his head and looked over.
The young man in the suit immediately took a few steps forward, took out an exquisite business card from his pocket, held it in his palm, and handed it to Bai Xiao.
The business card was all black, with gold characters on a black background, silver patterns on the edges, and what seemed to be traces of hot stamping. In the middle were four large characters: "Wuyuan Company."
"I'm from Wuyuan Company. I'm a professional manager who is responsible for contacting potential customers like you." The young man in a suit paused for a moment, then continued, "Our Wuyuan Company is an organization that specializes in secret martial arts and precious medicinal materials. Many schools or martial arts halls are our customers. Their disciples will buy the disposable secret martial arts they need from us, or the unconventional medicinal materials they need to practice secret martial arts..."
"Even precious medicines produced in the deep world, for example, the marrow of jade ore, which is a natural treasure that is effective even for masters at the master level of a school, we have it in stock!" The young man smiled and seemed very confident.
He said slowly: "Among the contestants of this Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition, many are our VIP customers, such as Shanwang Chen Xiu and Lei Zenliu Xiahou Ping. VIP customers can enjoy special services, whether buying or selling, they can get certain discounts and premiums..."
"I would like to invite you to become a VIP customer of our Wuyuan Company."
"I don't know, what do you think?"
Bai Xiao raised his head slightly and looked at the young man with a puzzled expression.
He had heard that if he made a name for himself in the Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition, some organizations and companies in the secret martial arts world would send him a sincere invitation. Cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial and win-win, and each gets what it needs. Unexpectedly, a company came to him just after he finished his second game. But it was normal, after all, Yuan Wei, who was second only to the Eastern Seven Stars, was defeated by Bai Xiao.
This is enough to prove his strength and potential.
Next, the two of them walked in the garden, chatting as they walked.
Bai Xiao also got more information from this professional manager.
The so-called Wuyuan Company is more like a middleman. They were established along with the rise of new martial arts, and they have only been established for about 20 to 30 years. Many small martial arts schools and small schools, without resource channels, will slowly fall into decline. Wuyuan Company cooperates with them, and they share secret martial arts and resources, and gradually grow into a large company.
Later, he even developed to the point where he was qualified to invest in the Eastern Dark World Fighting Competition and look for a spokesperson. It was nothing but fame and influence. For example, Bai Xiao, after becoming a VIP member of Wuyuan Company, if he could continue to win the competition and get an excellent ranking, this dark horse would definitely attract the attention of all spectators and be remembered.
Wuyuan Company can use the name of Bai Xiao for publicity. It is estimated that there will be good results in the months after the Dark World Fighting Competition.
The young manager also explained to Bai Xiao some of the privileges of VIP users. For example, with the VIP status, he could choose a secret martial art or several secret arts from Wuyuan Company for free, and obtain some cultivation herbs for free.
This is equivalent to a disguised investment and reward.
In addition, Bai Xiao also learned about some other organizations in the secret martial arts world. Some are similar to Wuyuan Company, acting as middlemen to sell secret martial arts and medicinal materials. Some are similar to killer organizations, hiring warriors to complete the employer's tasks and earn profits. Some are similar to clubs for like-minded people, but more private. For example, seven or eight masters who also like horizontal training can establish a hard training club to share their experiences and learn from each other regularly. When they see suitable fresh blood, they will send out invitations to enhance their influence.
And so on and so forth, there are many varieties.
After a conversation, the young man in the suit left.
He also said that Bai Xiao could consider it freely, or discuss it with his own school. If he needed anything, he could call him at any time, and he would be there whenever he was called. He just had to make a decision before the fighting competition was over.
In the garden, a figure silently looked at the exquisite business card in his hand.
"If it's as good as he says."
"It seems like it would be a good idea to become a VIP user of this company?"
"However, I have to go back and discuss it with the Sect Master and Master."
Bai Xiao slowly turned around, put away the business card, and then walked out of the garden. However, just after taking a few steps, a figure in front of him also walked over. He was less than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a loose black Taoist robe, and looked old, like he was in his thirties or forties. His face was slightly wide, his cheekbones were protruding, and his eagle eyes were sharp. His half-long hair was messy, and his expression was empty and wooden.
At the waist, a sword wrapped with a black rope hung quietly.
Posa Tibetan Sword Hall, Ghost Luotian!
Bai Xiao remained calm and walked forward at the same pace.
On the opposite side, Gui Luotian's pace was also neither fast nor slow.
However, just as the two passed each other.
Gui Luotian suddenly turned around, holding the void with both hands, as if holding an invisible blade. With a spin, he chopped down gracefully, and a breeze blew across the ground.
At this moment, Bai Xiao seemed to have turned around without knowing when.
His face was expressionless, but his aura was inexplicably terrifying.
It was as if a rapidly expanding spirit supported the entire huge body. In the blink of an eye, it was about to transform into an ancient and wild giant.
But after a brief stalemate, nothing happened.
It was as if all that had just happened was an illusion, and the two simply turned around and looked at each other. At most, Gui Luotian was holding a sword in the air with both hands, which was a bit puzzling. However, if you look closely, you will find that the insects, ants and earthworms on the ground and even underground are fleeing frantically.
They scattered in all directions as if they were fleeing.
On the open space.
Bai Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. The large, ferocious black tattoo under Gui Luo Tian's collar, which formed the Yaksha evil spirit, seemed to move just now.
“Can’t cut it off…”
"You're hard."
Gui Luotian's mechanical and stiff voice suddenly sounded, making a judgment.
He loosened his left hand and made a gesture with his right hand to sheath the invisible blade. During the whole process, Gui Luotian's eyes were empty, without any killing intent or hostility.
It seemed as if everything he did was just the most basic instinct.
“Hehehe…”
Directly opposite, Bai Xiao laughed in a low voice, which was full of evil and demonic energy.
"Who led you to test me?"
"Why hide it?"
He turned his head slightly and quickly scanned the surroundings. It seemed that there were masters on both sides of the courtyard who were hiding their auras and silently paying attention to the situation inside.
"Hidden."
"Is it because you're scared?"
