Chapter 477: Career Enhancement, Root Authority!
Bai Xiao had no expression on his face and waited quietly.
Sure enough, the light below flashed again.
[Do you want to use this career enhancement option? ]
"yes."
He did not hesitate at all, and his mind moved slightly.
Suddenly, mist appeared in front of the scene, and a mysterious force quickly enveloped it.
[The following is the job enhancement for the martial arts gym owner]
[Reinforcement 1: Diamond Indestructibility (Physical attribute increased by 50 points)]
[Enhancement 2: Gather Strength into a Mountain (The effectiveness of your Gather Strength mission for the Gathering Strength class is improved by 10%. In other words, the effect of the Gathering Strength mission on the increase in potential points increases from 100% to 110%)]
[Enhancement 3: External Avatar (Your five forbidden secret weapons can be condensed into a forbidden clone, possessing master-level combat power, and can fight away from the main body for half an hour. When you have the external avatar enhancement, this time is multiplied tenfold, and your clone can exist outside for five hours)]
[Enhancement 4: Heart of Taotie (This enhancement is part of the same series as Dragon Elephant Taotie and Dragon Heart Image. Your enhancement, "Sea Embraces All Rivers, Heaven and Earth Furnace," can fuse evolutionary techniques and elevate secret weapons. However, when the Dragon Elephant Scripture consumes Dragon Elephant secret weapons, there's no difference between three second-rate secret weapons and a first-rate secret weapon fused together; the number of Dragon Elephants ultimately obtained remains constant. However, after you acquire the Heart of Taotie enhancement, the higher the quality of the Dragon Elephant secret weapon consumed, the greater the number of Dragon Elephants you obtain. In other words, secret weapons enhanced with "Sea Embraces All Rivers, Heaven and Earth Furnace" are more effective. The amplification effect fluctuates between 30% and 50%).]
[Strengthened 5: Reversing Cause and Effect (Reversing cause and effect, the final result will become the origin. Every forbidden secret weapon is due to the existence of a root-level existence in the void, whose power affects the stars and the heavens, thus giving birth to the forbidden secret weapon. However, the five taboos you possess do not have corresponding root-levels in the void. Therefore, after you have the strengthening of reversing cause and effect, the five root powers will gradually gather in the void. However, the gathering of the root powers requires unimaginable terrifying power of the same level. You need to find other root powers as sacrifices.)]
Note: Since this is the fourth and final stage of the Gym Master career, you can choose any two of the five enhancements.
Bai Xiao saw the notes first, and this time he could actually choose two.
He quickly glanced at the enhancement options. The first one wasn't much to say; it was simple and crude, adding 50 points to the physical attribute. However, Bai Xiao had other ways to improve the four attributes, so he put that aside for now.
The second option immediately caught his eye.
It was surprisingly able to increase the amplification effect of his Gathering Strength mission from 10% to 110%. As everyone knows, any enhancement that can increase the number of potential points is extremely valuable. However, Bai Xiao felt that the enhancement of Gathering Strength into a Mountain was a bit too low, only increasing it by one tenth.
One thousand potential points, increase by one hundred.
He shook his head slightly. If the amplification effect was 20%, he would choose it without hesitation. 10% seemed a bit too little.
Bai Xiao had a flash of thought and continued to look at the third one.
The strengthening of the external incarnation can actually prolong the existence time of his five forbidden clones, directly increasing it from half an hour to five hours.
There is no doubt that this is also a very useful enhancement.
Five hours is completely different from half an hour. Much more can be done, which is a hidden improvement for Bai Xiao's combat power.
His gaze paused for a moment, then continued downwards.
His gaze slightly fixed.
Strengthening the Four Taotie Hearts is surprisingly linked to the Dragon Elephant Scripture, synergizing with the previous Dragon Heart and Image Will and Dragon Elephant Taotie enhancements. Furthermore, it also involves Bai Xiao's "Sea Embraces All Rivers, Heaven and Earth Furnace" enhancement. Originally, when he used the Dragon Elephant Scripture to devour Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons, there was no difference between directly absorbing them or enhancing and fusing them with the Heaven and Earth Furnace before absorbing them. However, once he possessed the Taotie Heart, the situation changed. The Dragon Elephant Scripture amplified the effects of Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons fused with the Heaven and Earth Furnace, transforming them into more Sky Glaze Holy Dragons and Earth Glaze Elephant Gods.
30% to 50%, which is about 40% on average!
Thinking about it this way, the Heart of the Gluttonous Enhancement seemed much more practical than the Gathering Strength to Form a Mountain Enhancement. While the Gathering Strength to Form a Mountain Enhancement related to potential points and was more universal, its value was indeed a bit low. Meanwhile, the Heart of the Gluttonous, while focused on a specific category, was a perfect fit for White Owl.
If he had to choose between the two, he would choose Enhancement IV.
He compared them with each other and already had the answer in his mind.
However, when Bai Xiao looked at Enhancement Five, his eyes suddenly focused and he instantly forgot the previous four enhancement options.
"The passive power of destiny is playing a big role!?"
Bai Xiao paused for a moment, his eyes fixed on the inverse of cause and effect.
Reverse cause and effect, and return the effect to the cause.
Because he possessed five forbidden secret weapons obtained through cheating, they were powers never before seen. Therefore, the root authority corresponding to these five powers must have appeared in the void, and everything would be reversed! This effect was simply unimaginable, completely on a different level from the other options. Could it be that he had just gotten lucky and drawn a golden legend?
"The effect of this inverted cause and effect enhancement is truly abnormal, but the conditions for activation are also extremely harsh. It actually requires root-level power as a sacrifice..."
"But I understand. Since we are refining the root authority, then we naturally need to absorb the power of the root!" Bai Xiao muttered to himself with a glint in his eyes...
"But where can I get a large amount of root power?"
He looked up suddenly and realized something.
"Oh right, the forbidden secret weapon!"
"It's best to have a perfect level forbidden secret weapon!"
"Forbidden Secret Weapons are the result of the power of the void being transmitted to this world, influencing it. In today's world, most Forbidden Secret Weapons are in the hands of Grandmasters. Furthermore, complete Forbidden Secret Weapons are only in the hands of Grandmasters. In other words, I need to hunt down Grandmasters and deprive them of the power of their Forbidden Secret Weapons. As long as there are enough of them, I can trigger the effect of reversing cause and effect..."
A strange color flashed in Baixiao's eyes, making people feel inexplicably frightened.
"Besides, there is another one that is closest to the water."
"The Metal Council's upgraded mecha!"
"The power of the Mechanical Master is invading this world, right at hand. Its root-level mechanical force is naturally the most abundant and abundant. The reason the Metal Council's flying-level mechas possess such powerful energy is because of the Void Engine at their core. The Void Engine, like the forbidden secret weapons of the Secret Martial Arts, also derives from root-level power..."
His thoughts stretched, and the more he thought, the more choices he had.
"Also, a few days ago, after I killed the Myriad Beasts Dragon God, I obtained a Myriad Beasts Totem! Isn't that the power left behind by the Beast God?"
"Also, the spirit mask..."
"However, it should not be qualified. Youtian is not at the root level in the true sense. Moreover, when it returned to the real world, its realm had already fallen..." The more Bai Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that there was hope in this aspect.
“Confusing the effect for the cause, confusing the effect for the cause.”
“It’s simply a magical skill.”
He stood up and slowly paced back and forth on the island.
"If I want to achieve the root of success in the future, it will depend on this."
Bai Xiao had a hunch that he had to choose this one. Its preciousness was far greater than the previous four combined.
After comprehensive consideration.
"I choose Enhancement Four, Enhancement Five."
Bai Xiao's mind moved, and he immediately gave his answer.
Although gathering strength into a mountain and strengthening the external incarnation are both good, they are still incomparable to these two. He chose the improvement that best suits his own situation.
Suddenly, all the power-up options ahead vanished, like an ink painting splashed with water. Soon, only the Heart of the Gluttony power-up and the Cause and Effect power-up remained, quietly suspended in mid-air, their light growing stronger and stronger.
"Buzz!"
Bai Xiao's mind trembled slightly.
The two enhancement options, like swirling, intertwined meteors, landed directly on the Secret Weapon King class. The three quickly merged, producing a transformation.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble…”
As soon as he thought about it, the Dragon Elephant Sutra began to operate at full power spontaneously.
At the same time, there were three enhancements in front of me, echoing each other.
"Dragon Heart Symbolism" "Dragon Elephant Taotie" "Taotie's Heart"
“Swish!”
A huge light flashed rapidly, and a mysterious aura erupted. Three enhancements related to the Dragon Elephant Sutra were strangely fused together.
"bite!"
The white light faded and everything disappeared.
There was only one enhancement, floating quietly in the air.
"Swallowing Dragons and Devouring Elephants, the True Scripture That Guards the World"
It has three effects that strengthen everything, and the effect of the Taotie Heart is increased by 50%! In other words, all the Dragon Elephant Secret Weapons swallowed by the White Owl Dragon Elephant Sutra will have the number of Dragon Elephants transformed increased by 60%.
He slowly exhaled a breath of hot white air.
Then, Bai Xiao checked another enhancement.
"Confusing cause and effect"
"Buzz!"
The moment it activated, he felt as if he had entered a dark, ethereal space. Before him was a gigantic hand that obscured the sky and the sun.
From left to right, there are five towering stone tablets standing forever.
The images of flying immortals, dragons and elephants, Kunpeng, Huangting, and Huangquan were vividly carved into the painting. Moreover, the images were constantly evolving, blurring and overlapping, seemingly with countless possibilities.
Bai Xiao took a quick glance and found that all the stone tablets were dim.
I'm afraid it will require some powerful force to activate it before it can regain its glory.
"These should be the so-called root authority?"
"It requires a sacrifice of root-level power to condense it bit by bit."
A thought flashed through his mind, and he instantly left this space.
Qunxiang Mountain, under the Enlightenment Tree.
Bai Xiao slowly opened his eyes and flipped his right hand. A bead containing the totem of all beasts quietly emerged. However, he did not immediately attempt a sacrifice. Instead, he planned to comprehend the mysteries of the totem of all beasts under the enlightenment tree.
Bai Xiao hopes to learn something from this.
In addition, as soon as he thought about it, the new Ninety-Nine Air Holes Secret Technique was pushed to the extreme, and four hundred and sixteen air holes instantly appeared on the surface of his body.
Without a doubt.
This number of pores is enough for all of Bai Xiao's Sky Glaze Holy Dragons and Earth Glaze Elephant Gods to recover a second time and return to their peak combat power.
Even more than necessary.
However, he would then need to collect a large number of Dragon-Elephant Secret Weapons, enhance and fuse them, and devour a dragon. The number of Holy Dragons and Elephant Gods would inevitably increase dramatically. The remaining pores might not even be enough by then.
"After the upgrade is completed."
"I will begin my search for the forbidden secret weapon."
"Or, I could proactively attack the Demon Court. Killing one of the Grandmasters would not only bring me a massive amount of experience points for my criminal hunting mission, but I could also sacrifice the forbidden secret weapon they possess to help me strengthen my cause and effect. Oh, right? During the martial arts competition, Light Eagle Filin was still alive and retreated with the main force. He possessed a forbidden secret weapon. Killing him would also yield something..."
While thinking, Bai Xiao slowly sat cross-legged.
The Enlightenment Tree swayed slightly, and a mysterious aura of enlightenment enveloped it.
…
An hour ago.
Overseas, on an island, in a huge underground nest.
Mysterious underground lake.
The surging sea water, with its ebb and flow, spreads rapidly in all directions, and then rolls back in an instant, just like a person breathing.
Central location.
A dark blue shadow, blurry and terrifying, swathed in the vast Hongze River. The tidal waves and tsunamis surrounding it were all caused by his thoughts, shifting the environment. Originally, the shadow consisted of only the upper half, the lower half composed of water. But now, its legs had slowly grown, returning to their full glory.
"Huff, huff, huff..."
The healing continues.
Suddenly, a figure quickly emerged from a passage outside the lake.
"Master Hongze, Master Youtian just made some unusual movements!"
In the center of the lake.
Hongze slowly raised his hand, and suddenly a wheel inlaid with a statue of the god Krishna flew over and hovered quietly in the air.
He raised his right hand and pressed it on the ferocious head.
The power was transmitted rapidly, communicating with the remaining consciousness of Youtian.
"Someone is absorbing your spiritual essence!?"
"It must be that your spirit mask has been broken by someone?"
Hongze's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood the seriousness of the problem.
Beside the lake, the high-ranking officials of the Evil Ghost Court, who had been quietly waiting, immediately spoke up, "Master Youtian's spirit mask is probably in the hands of Bai Xiao from the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School in the Eastern Secret Martial Realm. Not long ago, he broke through to the Grandmaster realm. And just now, news came that he single-handedly defeated the Crane Sect..."
Hongze was silent for a moment, thinking to himself.
"Could it be that this Bai Xiao, after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, has acquired some strange means that can even break through Youtian's forbidden power?"
"I really want to go there in person..."
"However, healing is at a critical moment and cannot be interrupted easily."
"We can only let other grandmasters go."
In the end, Hong Ze still felt that the Dark Sect was the most suitable. The Dark Sect had broken through to the Grandmaster level hundreds of years ago, and the forbidden secret martial arts they mastered had long been cultivated to perfection.
He was even just one step away from the third stage of Grandmaster.
Originally, the Ming Sect didn't need to go; the Yu Sect and the Yu Sect could have just gone. However, the Yu Sect had been surrounded and killed, leaving only the remnant of the taboo, practically dead. With only the Yu Sect, there was no guarantee of success.
Bai Xiao defeated the He Sect, and his strength should not be underestimated.
After thinking about it, Hongze was about to issue an order.
Suddenly, at the end of the road in the distance, a familiar figure of an old man in black came flying at high speed. He turned around and appeared in front of Hongze.
"You've come just in time."
"I need you to go to the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts School in the eastern part of the Tianxia Federation and retrieve the Spirit Mask from Bai Xiao. Hide in the shadows and look for an opportunity. If you can kill him, that would be best. If not, bringing back the Spirit Mask would be fine."
Hongze spoke slowly in a rumbling voice.
"yes."
The old man in black, Ming Qianke, took on the task.
Then he looked up at Hongze and spoke quickly.
"Lord Hongze, there is good news."
"The first Shura in this world has finally been born!"
The Rakshasa level of the murderer corresponds to the master of the secret warrior school.
The Shura level corresponds to the Grandmaster realm!
This news not only meant that the Demon Court had gained a new Grandmaster-level warrior, but also conveyed a crucial message to everyone.
The head of the Demon Court, the "Heavenly Demon," has once again approached this world. Its power has allowed the killer to reach the level of Shura.
In this case, the summoning ceremony held by the Demon Court will continuously accelerate the arrival of the Chief, and there is even a chance to get ahead of the Machine Master.
“Hahaha, very good!”
"It's worth it for me to fall into this realm and return from the void!"
