Chapter 590: Chapter 587: Dance Daoist Family

Bai Pu initially was a tall and slender boy, but after his Second Transformation, he became specialized in both Power and Body attributes, turning from a tall boy into a burly young man.

Through the tempering of the Professional Plane, Bai Pu acquired a Spiritual Talent and recently supplemented with Agility attributes. As his attributes approached a balance, Bai Pu’s physique became lean and sturdy, and his aura also changed.

Of course, this was because Bai Pu was bound to the [Gaia Seal], possessing the effect of Spiritual Essence internalization as a passive. What could affect an Awakened’s physique and aura was only Basic Attributes, not Equipment Additional Attributes.

However, the changes in Bai Pu’s physique and aura were not drastic.

Someone like Shiyi, who suddenly grew twenty or thirty centimeters taller, is truly rare.

After accepting the fact of her rapid growth, Shiyi didn’t give up on herself, but actively took in nutrition and strengthened her training. She wasn’t stick-thin, but rather tall and shapely, swiftly shifting from a cute style to an elegant feminine style.

Teacher Cai Cai smiled and said, "Shiyi underwent her Second Transformation, entering the street fighting world and transformed into a [Dance Daoist]... this dance refers to dancing. She’s adept at empty-handed combat and throwing techniques, her battle stance is a delightful sight like dancing, and the key is her formidable power. Now in the team, aside from you and Blood Spider, she should be considered the top expert. How quickly she’s grown!"

"Top expert? Isn’t Light Wine, this Level 5 Hero, able to beat her?"

Bai Pu recalled that when Shiyi joined the main lineup, Light Wine went as a substitute and was quite dissatisfied. At that time, Bai Pu concluded, "Wait until Shiyi’s Second Transformation and Light Wine is Level 5, then have another match."

It seems that match already happened, and Light Wine was convinced by Shiyi.

"Gangxin, you definitely can’t guess what template the Dance Daoist profession is." Teacher Cai Cai said.

Bai Pu laughed, "Since you said so, Teacher, it surely isn’t an ordinary Hero Profession... might it be an Enhanced Hero Template?"

"You guessed right! To be honest, I was extremely surprised when I first heard it. Acquiring an Enhanced Hero Template after her Second Transformation, besides you, I’ve never heard of a second person." Teacher Cai Cai said emotionally, "I didn’t expect we have another one this year, and still in our Xili Institute of Technology! It’s truly destiny, destiny."

Bai Pu knew the difficulty of transforming to the Enhanced Hero Template, and couldn’t help but scrutinize Shiyi carefully, "Could you share a bit of your Second Transformation process?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Shiyi hesitated and said, "Sorry, due to some special restrictions, I can’t disclose the detailed process. I can only say that the job transition task I received was only S-level."

Light Wine heard this for the first time, and jealousy arose in his heart, he said softly, "My Second Transformation was also an S-level job transition task, why am I only a Hero Profession..."

Bai Pu once again thought of the legends of the Divine Race, now he had a bit of initial understanding of this mysterious and powerful group, so he opened his mouth to inquire, "Have you received... any other Spirit Realm Will calls?"

These words left the other teammates a bit bewildered, only Blood Spider, being an Advanced Awakened who understood deep secrets, remained nonchalant.

Shiyi said with difficulty, "Captain Gangxin, I really don’t want to deceive you."

This answer was sufficient, Bai Pu nodded slightly, and didn’t probe further.

Initially, Bai Pu wanted to test Shiyi’s level, but seeing her burdened with secrets, even if making a probing move, Shiyi would likely only respond superficially, so Bai Pu couldn’t be bothered to act. He’ll just observe in subsequent matches whether Shiyi would expose her true strength.

With this, all five main members of the Xili Institute of Technology school team have gathered.

Captain Gangxin, Level 8 Enhanced Hero "Blood River Tyrant."

Vice-captain Blood Spider, Level 7 Hero (+1 basic priority) "Giant Dragon Hunter."

Team member Shiyi (using her real name as Spirit Realm code), Level 5 Enhanced Hero "Dance Daoist," adept in empty-handed combat and throwing skills.

Team member Amaterasu, Level 6 Hero "Yin Stream Geisha," support role with remote spell attack capability.

Team member Mountain Hermit, Level 6 Enhanced Elite "Mao Shan Kui Shi," off-tank role with a formidable Professional Transformation skill "Zombie Transformation."

Originally, Teacher Cai Cai wanted to hold a training camp, but Bai Pu raised his hand saying, "I have other matches to compete in, definitely no time for training camp... you guys just practice your solo battles."

The University Competition format is the same as previous years, consisting of five individual duels plus a team battle. If either side wins four individual duels, they can claim victory directly, canceling the team battle.

Conversely, as long as Xili Institute of Technology wins two duels in the solo segment, they’re sure to enter the team battle... with Blood Spider and Shiyi, Bai Pu feels he doesn’t even need to participate.

Teacher Cai Cai didn’t directly ask what other competitions Bai Pu had. Though Bai Pu is still a university student, his off-campus identity is already a regional Standing Member.

When speaking with Bai Pu, Teacher Cai Cai inevitably had many reservations, not daring to inquire too much.

This is her future connection, she certainly doesn’t want to leave a bad impression on Bai Pu.

...

This year’s University Competition’s national battle was held right at the Xili Institute of Technology’s campus—of course, because Xili Institute won the championship last year, many prestigious schools want to admire the defending champion’s style.

For Bai Pu, it’s better, there’s no need to move, he’ll only appear when there are matches, attracting countless focused attention.

Many people speculate about Bai Pu’s current level, some even use detection tools to look, but their priority isn’t enough.

So, everyone hopes a team can push Xili Institute to its limits and make Bai Pu reveal his actual strength.

Over ninety percent of the audience believes that Xili Institute’s title defense this time has no suspense, the only suspense is how many tricks Bai Pu will reveal.

Of course, there are a few viewers who think there’s still suspense in this tournament, because Western Capital University’s captain, Skywalker Wan Zhen, has also passed the trials of the Professional Plane, advancing to Level 7, his strength peerless.

Western Capital University’s other four members are also all Level 6 Hero Professions, collectively stronger than Xili Institute of Technology.

In addition, Qianyuan, Xiliang, and other prestigious schools also have new talents sprouting up, cultivating unique Mystical Arts for a showdown with Bai Pu, the big boss.

However, the first elimination match mercilessly shattered the expectations of these people.

As the vanguard, Mountain Hermit faced the enemy’s agile close combat profession "Dark Exile" who came to scout, and directly activated Zombie Transformation, greatly enhancing Life Value, Power determination, and Physical Damage Reduction ability, using the opponent’s underestimation of him to corner them!

Then, it was a fierce attack exchanging injuries, that Dark Exile, with all his nimble skills, had no chance to display them, his dagger stuck in Mountain Hermit’s bones, yet the latter seemed oblivious, roaring with clawing and biting.

Ultimately, the corpse poison effect took away the Dark Exile’s last Life Value, and Mountain Hermit secured the first victory.
