Chapter 457: Dragon Elephant Sutra, power doubled, martial arts master career breakthrough!
"The entire extraordinary world is being affected by the root of the void."
Bai Xiao muttered to himself.
The Demon Bird Secret Codex he possessed must also be one of the roots of the Void, the Three Pillars of Fear, and the Demon Bird Tarot. Even the Grandmasters, those who stood at the top of the world, were constantly influenced and constrained by the Void.
Martial Arts Association, Mountain Gate.
"Master Bai, if you try to break through to the Grandmaster level next time, you must be careful. The multiple sources behind the multiple forbidden secret weapons, even if they don't pay attention to you, just when they are sublimated to the extreme, their power instinctively repels each other, which may bring huge backlash. If you are not careful, you may end up dead..." President Ouyang reminded Bai Xiao earnestly.
Afterwards, the two of them walked into the Martial Arts Association.
They passed through many buildings and headed towards the back mountain.
Without summoning any spiritual energy, the two climbed the mountain like ordinary people, following the path until they arrived at a gurgling, wet waterfall. Ahead, an ancient pavilion towered, and the emerald green waters stirred gently. To the left, an old tea tree with yellowing leaves stood tall.
The Wudao tea tree is not lush and green, but rather has the look of an ageless age. It looks like it is always at the end of autumn, with its branches and leaves about to fall.
Ouyang Ming and Bai Xiao walked over slowly.
"The seeds of the enlightenment tea tree..."
Ouyang Ming muttered to himself, took a deep breath, and suddenly his whole body surged with vigor. Like a thundering dragon, the will of a master surged into the sky. He entered the master's stance, took a few steps forward, and pressed his palm against the enlightenment tea tree.
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, the Enlightenment Tea tree shook violently, trembling violently. The rustling of its leaves resembled a torrential rainstorm. The next second, a unique, invisible rhythm of enlightenment descended silently, expanding with a whoosh to an unprecedented extent. The last time Bai Xiao was comprehending, the Enlightenment Rhythm of the Enlightenment Tea only encompassed half of the pond. This time, however, half of the Western Hills was instantly enveloped, with invisible ripples permeating every corner.
In a trance, all the sounds in my ears gradually faded away.
The entire world before my eyes seemed like a faded painting, with only black and white lines remaining.
But this situation did not last long.
It only took two or three breaths.
Ouyang Ming slowly withdrew his hand, and the rhythm of enlightenment that enveloped half of the West Mountain rapidly receded. From the trunk, an oval fruit, as emerald green as a bodhi fruit, slowly emerged, as if condensing some of the power of the enlightenment tea tree. Simple spiral patterns on its surface seemed to interpret the great principles of the world. A closer look brought a sense of peace and tranquility, bringing clarity to both body and mind.
Bai Xiao, who was standing aside, turned his head and looked.
It was obvious that the Wudao tea tree seemed to have aged even further. A few old, yellowed leaves fluttered down in the breeze.
"Take it."
Ouyang Ming directly handed over the Bodhi fruit in his hand.
"The seeds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree can be used in two ways."
"The first one is what I just said, constantly nurturing the Enlightenment Tea Tree seed, so that it has the chance to become the second Enlightenment Tea Tree in the future. Secondly, you can temporarily use it as the top-notch Enlightenment Tea. Its effect is even better than freshly picked Enlightenment Tea. When using it, hold it in your mouth, and it will naturally stimulate the Enlightenment effect. However, this will continuously consume the flesh outside the Enlightenment Tea Tree seed. Once the flesh is consumed, the Enlightenment effect will disappear..."
Bai Xiao stretched out his hand and caught the bodhi fruit.
"As long as you don't use up the last bit of enlightenment effect, the Enlightenment Tea Tree Seed will not lose its effectiveness. With subsequent careful cultivation, it can still be restored..."
Ouyang Ming retracted his arm and spoke.
His meaning was clear.
If Bai Xiao was in a hurry, he could also use the seeds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree as Enlightenment Tea. As long as he retained the last bit of energy and didn't completely drain the seeds, they could still grow into Enlightenment Tea Trees with careful cultivation.
"The aura of enlightenment on the tree species is indeed extremely rich!"
Bai Xiao's eyes flickered.
He felt the emerald green of the tree in his palm, which had a subtle fragrance that was refreshing.
"Master Bai, are you going to use the opportunity of enlightenment as the champion of the martial arts competition today?" President Ouyang asked with his hands behind his back.
"Not for now."
"I plan to go to Langya Musashi to pick out some secret martial arts and techniques first."
Bai Xiao came to his senses and put the seeds of the Wudao tea tree into his arms.
He certainly wouldn't rashly use his enlightenment opportunity before he was thoroughly prepared. Bai Xiao had already figured it out: when he used his enlightenment opportunity, it would be the moment to break through to Grandmaster status. Leveraging the powerful enlightenment effect of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Bai Xiao's success rate in achieving his ultimate sublimation would be significantly increased!
"First, I must gather a large number of Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons and elevate my core taboo, the Dragon Elephant Sutra, to the limit of my capabilities. At this point, my main martial arts profession will inevitably break through, and then I will be able to gain ultimate strength. With the blessing of ultimate strength, my five major martial arts wills can reach unprecedented levels. Then, through the seeds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, I will absorb the master's insights from the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform, and completely push myself to the peak of the school's main limit. Only then will everything be ready..."
"Then next, transcend the mundane and step into the Grandmaster stage!"
Bai Xiao is extremely confident in himself.
Even though he had only recently reached the pinnacle of the sect master realm, as the saying goes, "hard work breeds great success," his multiple forbidden secret martial arts were a truly profound foundation. Furthermore, Bai Xiao was using cheats. How could the strength others painstakingly cultivated compare to the strength he acquired through his hacking modifiers?
Ten minutes later.
The headquarters of the Martial Arts Association, Langya Musashi, in front of the gate.
"Master Bai, it seems that you are going to strive for the Grandmaster level next."
Ouyang Ming smiled, as if he sensed something.
"Actually, although I've revealed many secrets today, there are still some I haven't explained in detail. Once you become a Grandmaster, many things will become clear to you."
The two chatted for a while.
Finally, Bai Xiao walked into Langya Musashi alone.
Ouyang Ming disappeared quietly and his whereabouts are unknown.
…
In the afternoon.
Donghai City, Qunxiang Mountain, Longxiang Martial Arts School.
Bai Xiao returned from the imperial capital with a rich harvest.
In the conference room.
The Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons collected by Wuyuan Company and Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School were also in place. At this moment, he had a double-digit number of second-rate and above Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons in his hands, and the Dragon Elephant Sutra was about to have a full feast.
"Well done."
"Next, continue to expand the influence of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School."
Bai Xiao, clad in a black and gold Dragon Elephant combat uniform, stood tall and sturdy. He quietly gazed at Fang Bing, the chairman of Wuyuan Company, and Ghost Face. His career as a martial arts school master wasn't over yet; the next stage was to strive for a top-tier martial arts school. Reaching the Grandmaster level was crucial, of course. However, the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School itself also needed to have a strong foundation.
Otherwise, you may get stuck and stop moving forward.
"yes!"
"yes!"
In the conference room, the two responded respectfully.
Ten minutes later.
Bai Xiao slowly walked out of the modern building.
Before my eyes, pieces of black information prompts were rapidly passing by.
[Your mission is "Contribute Secret Martial Arts Techniques", experience +17500!]
[Task: Contribution (Cumulative Experience Points: 17500)]
The traditional martial arts consultant profession has ushered in a wave of harvest.
Bai Xiao contributed all of his previously accumulated secret martial arts and techniques to Wuyuan Company. Based on the calculation of one potential point for every 100 experience points, this totaled 175 potential points, plus the bonus for the martial arts gym owner profession.
It’s close to three hundred.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he cried out in his heart.
"Dark red!"
Suddenly, the mysterious power of the modifier descended, and a hazy red halo directly enveloped the entire traditional martial arts consultant profession, inexplicably distorting it.
The black numbers inside jumped wildly, plummeting from five digits to zero. At the same time, a large amount of potential points flowed out.
After a breath or two, the light dissipated.
【Dark Red Modifier】
[Potential Points: 459.8 → 757.3]
The number of potential points has returned to 750, which is enough to upgrade several secret weapons.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath.
With a light tap of his toes, he flew towards the back mountain like a white-gold meteor. After a few flashes, he appeared in the spacious courtyard.
He sat cross-legged quietly.
On the red-painted low table in front, secret books were neatly arranged.
Mountain-Treading Demonic Elephant Technique
Ghost Dragon Nine Wrath
Dragon Roars in Three Winds
…
Bai Xiao flipped open the book and quickly read through all the secret weapons, memorizing them in his mind. Then, he seemed to be gently lifted up by a wave of wind, floating in the blue lake behind him.
He fell down and happened to sit on the emerging glazed lotus platform of enlightenment.
Next second.
With the talent of pure heart and the effect of the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform, Bai Xiao experimented with the enlightenment tea tree seed again and held it in his mouth.
Suddenly, the triple acceleration effect acted on him at the same time.
At this moment, he was like a supercomputer, the nerve cells in his mind colliding with amazing sparks. The contents of more than a dozen secret martial arts books flowed through his mind like water, and he understood them easily.
It only took less than ten minutes.
Bai Xiao opened his eyes again and took a look at the martial arts master profession panel.
On it were a series of secret martial arts that one had just mastered.
He slowly exhaled a breath of hot air.
Then, with a single wave of his hand, two bottles of golden pills flew over from a distance. They were the golden pills that Bai Xiao had requested from President Ouyang.
Although it wasn't as effective as the one he got during the martial arts competition, it was still a large enough pill to fill his stomach and effectively replenish his body's deficiencies.
“Clatter…”
Bai Xiao ate half a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills just like eating candy beans.
Suddenly, the hot medicinal power in the abdominal cavity dissipated, as if a small sun was gradually rising, like a warm stove, continuously warming every part of the body.
"Almost."
"We can begin now."
As soon as he thought about it, the dark red modifier jumped out.
[Skill: Introduction to Mountain-Stepping Demonic Elephant Technique (1/600)] +
[Skill: Ghost Dragon Nine Furies (1/400)] +
[Skill: Dragon Roar Three Winds Basics (1/400)] +
…
"From top to bottom, add them all to me!"
"Add until all potential points are exhausted!"
Bai Xiao's mind moved, and he gave the order without hesitation.
In an instant, a rich and extremely hot red light descended, directly enveloping the entire martial arts main profession. After a few minutes, the improvement quickly ended.
Large swaths of black information slid down.
[Your profession: Martial Arts Master, experience +2940!]
[Skills "..." "..." "..." have been upgraded to "Perfection"! ]
Bai Xiao glanced over and saw seven secret martial arts books, instantly enhanced to their peak power. Rows of black, four-digit experience numbers dazzled the viewer. Perfect icons flickered faintly.
【Dark Red Modifier】
[Potential Points: 11.3]
Ahead, there are only a pitiful two-digit potential points.
But, at this moment, the main profession of martial arts has ushered in a breakthrough.
"extract!"
As Bai Xiao's thought flashed through his mind.
A large amount of potential points were poured into the dark red modifier.
【Dark Red Modifier】
[Potential Points: 11.3 → 555.3]
Bai Xiao once again gained more than 540 potential points.
"Keep going, improve!"
He suddenly picked up the remaining half bottle of the Great Tonic Golden Pill and swallowed it all in one breath. At this moment, even a strong body like Bai Xiao's had turned red with heat, and the air gushing out of his pores was like magma.
The white mist was howling and extremely hot.
After a few minutes, the potential points of the dark red modifier were exhausted again.
【Dark Red Modifier】
[Potential Points: 31.3]
There are also five Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons, which have reached the perfect level.
Next second.
Bai Xiao felt a buzzing in his head as a terrifying, fiery magnetic field emanated from his body, madly vaporizing the water in the pool. The vapor surged upwards, reaching the sky and transforming into a towering column of white mist.
It was like a volcanic eruption, with no end in sight. The temperature across Qunxiang Mountain rose by a full five degrees Celsius over the next half hour. Fortunately, no dead branches or leaves ignited, causing a wildfire. After half an hour, the surrounding temperature gradually subsided.
Under the waterfall, in the clear lake.
The white owl's motionless body trembled with its shoulders.
Suddenly, every joint in his body erupted with a crackling sound like frying beans. Turbulent waves of terrifying power were absorbed by his muscles, dormant within them, waiting for the moment of breakthrough.
"call……"
He exhaled a long breath of hot white air, winding like a python.
Sight ahead.
The forbidden secret weapon, the Dragon Elephant Sutra, glowed faintly and was extremely hungry.
"A total of twelve Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons..."
"The Dragon Elephant Sutra will definitely take us to a whole new level!"
Bai Xiao's gaze focused, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Dragon Heart Image, refine it for me!"
Suddenly, the Dragon Elephant Sutra was empowered by a mysterious force, and a dense mass of golden threads erupted from its surface, rapidly spreading in all directions. Its tentacles fiercely penetrated into each of the secret weapons.
He pulled it suddenly and swallowed it in one gulp.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
There are twelve Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons, five of which are first-rate and seven are second-rate.
Just like that, it was completely devoured.
All reinforcement is finished.
Bai Xiao clasped his hands together, and a glazed golden light erupted from his body. He pushed the Dragon Elephant Sutra to its limit, and streams of platinum-colored air surged, transforming into vortexes.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
"Moo moo moo!"
Originally, there were nine dragons and sixteen elephants.
And now, there are seven dragons and thirteen elephants!
Right now.
All around the White Owl, there are sixteen dragons and twenty-nine elephants, roaring at their peak!
Compared with before, the number has almost doubled.
"The Dragon Elephant Sutra has reached an unprecedented peak."
He muttered to himself, feeling the powerful and terrifying aura.
Bai Xiao's gaze gradually shifted downwards.
On the retina, a row of black information popped up again at this moment.
[Your profession, "Martial Arts Master," has reached the maximum level!]
[Main profession "Martial Arts Master" will start career advancement...]
