Holy Fist!-Chapter 654 - 325 Genius Dinner_2
Chapter 654: 325 Genius Dinner_2
"It’s still the tournament that yields the most rewards."
"Especially in the national championship, during the final fourth phase."
"Each match earns almost as many potential points as the entire city-level fighting competition. Sadly, it will soon be over..."
"I wonder if the Martial Arts Hall Master profession can replace it?"
Bai Xiao’s thoughts wandered for a moment, and he could not help but sigh softly.
But soon, he reined in his thoughts and refocused his attention.
He fixed his gaze on the profession panel.
[Task: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 1720)]
"Dark Red!"
"Extract!"
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and summoned his cheat directly.
His vision blurred abruptly, a wave-like heavy overlay of red light swept in, like a sky filled with evening glow. Power invaded swiftly. In the blink of an eye, the entire Dark World Fighting Competition profession was already completely controlled. Invisible rules dominated it entirely!
"Splash splash splash..."
As the entire panel fell into a blurred state.
A vast amount of Experience gushed out like a stream.
And was greedily absorbed by the Dark Red Modifier.
Time ticked away, everything before Bai Xiao’s eyes became clear again.
Through his vision.
[Task: Bounty (Accumulated Experience: 20)]
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 3→37]
A total of thirty-seven points, which seemed substantial.
It should be enough to enhance his unused Secret Martial Skills.
Bai Xiao regained his composure and refocused his eyes.
He adjusted his breathing slowly, mobilizing his spirit, qi, and mind lost in the earlier fight through the Blood Pill, gradually replenishing them. After some time, Bai Xiao opened his eyes again, returning to peak condition.
Around ten-thirty in the afternoon.
At the Solid Rock Arena, the second match began.
The competitors were Candle Sect Wu Ming and Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming. These two were the first and second place in the Northern Dark World Fighting Competition.
Before the match started, most spectators already knew the result.
The winner of this battle would only be Candle Sect!
This wasn’t to say Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming wasn’t strong. On the contrary, he was very strong. Earlier, Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming maintained a high winning rate in multiple test fights and battles against Dragon Lizard Shi Chen and Aurora Gu Yun. Some spectators even called his fist technique the best of this competition!
The fist wind was extremely fierce and had astounding destructive power.
But Candle Sect was too strong, so strong that it left everyone breathless.
The subsequent match basically confirmed this theory.
Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming initiated the attack, enveloping his explosive strength enough to shatter rocks, wantonly destroying the Solid Rock Arena. Even Candle Sect had to momentarily retreat, constantly flickering. However, it looked more like he was guiding his opponent, step by step, leading Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming by the nose.
By mid-period, Yu Ming sensed something was off.
But it was too late.
Candle Sect counterattacked and overwhelmed Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming, with seemingly ordinary punches and palm strikes carrying terrifying power, pressing him so hard he couldn’t breathe. As time moved on, Candle Sect’s momentum and power seemed to grow stronger, like a mountain rising from the ground, becoming taller and larger!
Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming’s power, on the other hand, showed a stark contrast.
His moves, be it in speed or strength, even in momentum and power, were visibly weakening. It was as though Candle Sect was siphoning Yu Ming’s power, a depletion that led to his eventual defeat after being struck thrice.
The entire Martial Arts Arena erupted in unified cheers.
There was scattered discussion, not much though.
Because they had already expected Candle Sect’s victory.
"Something’s odd..."
In the Fierce Bird Sect’s camp, Bai Xiao, who had watched the entire match, narrowed his eyes.
He could sense that Candle Sect seemed to be using some strange secret technique or Secret Martial Skill. But the effect was too subtle to discern immediately. Judging by the final outcome, the impact was extremely remarkable. By the late period, Hundred-Split Fist Yu Ming’s striking force was reduced to two-thirds, and if the fight had lasted longer, it would have been cut to half.
This means of "weakening the enemy" was something Bai Xiao had never encountered.
"Interesting, something new." He grinned slightly, not afraid but rather excited.
Candle Sect had been listed as a formidable enemy by Bai Xiao.
When the time came, facing him in battle would undoubtedly be thrilling!
Time swiftly moved to the afternoon.
The victors of the subsequent two matches emerged as Bai Xiao had anticipated. They were Free Heaven Canaan and Evil Flame Canghai!
With this calculation.
The top four of this national tournament ended up being four champions!
Clearly, this was both coincidental and not.
Because these four were strong and fierce enough, they defeated their opponents with sheer strength, toppling them. Fortunately, they didn’t face each other before reaching the top four, otherwise, it would have been a duel between titans.
Surely, there would be injuries!
Around three in the afternoon.
At the Solid Rock Arena, the host announced the names on the paper in his hand.
His powerful voice echoed through the whole arena, reaching everyone’s ears.
"The top four of the national Dark World Fighting Competition have emerged!"
"They are..."
"The champion of the Northern Dark World Fighting Competition, Candle Sect Wu Ming!"
"Eastern champion, Fierce Fist Bai Xiao!"
"Southern champion, Evil Flame Canghai!"
"Western champion, Free Heaven Canaan!"
"The strongest of the younger generation in the four directions of the Secret Martial World will compete in tomorrow’s match, to determine the superior two!"
"Let’s stay tuned!"
In the next moment, today’s event concluded, and the various sects left the arena.
Bai Xiao got up slowly and followed the Fierce Bird Sect’s team out of the World Martial Arts Arena. On the way, he happened upon Evil Flame Canghai. As the other raised a hand in greeting, Bai Xiao silently nodded.
This evidently signaled his participation in tonight’s genius banquet.
"By the way, among the Eastern participants, who else will attend?"
After pondering for a while, Bai Xiao stepped forward and asked.
"You, Breeze of Breath Liu Xinzong, Evil Ghost Face, Lei Chanliu..."
"Oh, and also Shadow Assassin Si Yu."
Canghai thought for a moment and quickly answered.
Then he looked at Bai Xiao and said.
"Hey, why are you also asking that?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Bai Xiao was surprised and asked.
"Did someone else ask?"
Canghai nodded: "Just now, Shadow Assassin Si Yu asked me."
Bai Xiao smiled slightly upon hearing that name.
"Maybe it’s just a coincidence."
"See you tonight."
He took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Canghai.
Then he quickened his pace and followed the Fierce Bird Sect team out.
Left alone, Evil Flame Canghai watched Bai Xiao’s back, and frowned slightly.
Unsure if it was his imagination, Canghai felt that Bai Xiao’s smile was sinister, like he was about to do something bad. But the next second, he shook his head, chuckling, and dismissed the strange thought.
"What am I thinking..."
"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go set up the venue early at the hotel."
Canghai turned swiftly and left the arena.
Five minutes later, in a shadowy alley, a dark corner.
A slender figure seemed to merge into it, waiting silently.
He took out his phone.
Sent a message to a contact named "Master."
"Master, Bai Xiao will be out tonight for the genius banquet hosted by Evil Flame Canghai. The time and location have just been sent to you."
"Maybe this is a good opportunity!"
After waiting for a while, the screen lit up again.
It only had four words.
"Act tonight!"
...
At four in the afternoon, in a bedroom on the fifth floor of the first apartment.
A tall and robust figure wore only a pair of loose black training pants, leaving his powerful upper body bare. Golden sunlight glittered on the muscular contours, looking extremely magnificent. Bai Xiao was slowly practicing his fists.
His arms stirred the airflow, his chest expanded and contracted with qi.
This repeated cycle continued for about ten minutes.
He adjusted his state to the best, his Qi-Blood at its peak.
Bai Xiao immediately sat cross-legged.
Staring straight ahead, his gaze was sharp.
A series of Secret Martial Skills emerged, filling most of his vision.
He took a deep breath.
"Come on, Dark Red!"
