Abundant Martial Arts Virtue

Two lines of small bronze characters float in the void:

"Nine hours have been consumed."

"Three hours remain until you complete the 'Live Well' task."

Three hours?

Wu Xiaode pulled off the blindfold and looked at the wedding procession that had just passed by him.

Hmm.

The number of people had reduced by two.

The bodies of quite a few of them had already started turning transparent.

This Evil Transformation's "Fetus Concealed Confusion" had been dragged out by me for a full nine hours and was already nearing depletion.

To accomplish this, I don't know how many times I used "Fetus Concealed Confusion."

Seeing this magic about to be completely consumed, Wu Xiaode fell into worry again.

The Evil Object used a move "Initial·Obscure Shroud" that completely dispelled all my strategies and schemes.

For the remaining three hours, do I have to go back and fight it?

The fight with it was too intense.

Too exhausting.

Moreover, there was always a risk of death.

—Who knows how many more sinister magics it still has up its sleeve?

This "Initial·Obscure Shroud," because it was my magic, I barely managed to cope with.

If it has more powerful Evil magic—

How to fight it?

Wu Xiaode withdrew his thoughts, his gaze falling again on those Evil Transformed bearers running by.

A line of small bronze characters quietly appeared:

"Calamity·Dragon Snake Chaos Dance is still evolving, and time is required to complete its full transformation."

No, I need time.

—I can't let this Evil Transformation's "Fetus Concealed Confusion" disappear that quickly.

Drag it out as long as I can within this magic!

How to drag it out?

Wu Xiaode pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand.

Countless gold bricks flew out and paved a smooth court on the ground.

A large dark hand appeared from nowhere, gripping another pile of gold bricks and directly tearing them into two basketball hoops.

A banner was pasted beside the court:

"The second 'Men' Cup Netherworld World 3-on-3 Bullfighting Basketball Tournament opens today!"

"Champions will receive a 'Man'!"

Wu Xiaode stood under the banner, directly facing the word "Man."

"Come on! The 3-on-3 match begins!"

He shouted loudly.

—The opponent was everywhere exterminating my magic, consuming energy significantly.

If it was replaced by a basketball game, although there is some physical confrontation, the consumption would actually be reduced a lot.

Besides, it aligns with what I initially said.

"The basketball match winners can get me."

Logical self-consistency.

Perfect.

Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and cast another "Fetus Concealed Confusion."

Magic complete!

A brand new wedding procession gradually emerged by the court.

They took off their original clothes, revealing basketball uniforms with numbers on the back.

On the other side.

The Evil Transformed bearers slowly carried the sedan chair toward the basketball court.

Wu Xiaode waved at them, saying:

"You can't kill them all, but as long as you win the basketball game, you can get that reward!"

The Evil Transformed bearers remain still.

A female voice sounded from the big red sedan:

"Proceed."

The bearers then carried the sedan chair, slowly approaching the basketball court.

Wu Xiaode observed them closely, his worry deepening.

They've consumed too much, their bodies gradually becoming completely transparent.

Perhaps the basketball game won't even finish before they dissipate.

What to do?

No choice—

Wu Xiaode walked to the center of the basketball court, cleared his throat, and said:

"Welcome both teams to this 'Men' Cup Netherworld World 3-on-3 Bullfighting Basketball Tournament."

"Let me personally give a speech for this tournament!"

A round of applause.

In his magic, those bearers began applauding.

The opposing Evil Transformed bearers remained motionless and had already changed into basketball uniforms.

The applause faded.

Wu Xiaode raised his voice and said loudly:

"Now, let me say a few words."

"Firstly, as we know, sports competition emphasizes fair play, and basketball is a sport beloved by the Netherworld spirits. I also love this sport very much."

"I first came into contact with this sport when I was little..."

"When I was seven years old..."

"My favorite player is..."

"He was born..."

"When he was little..."

"When he was seven years old..."

"His favorite player is..."

"During his career, I remember some great matches that went like this..."

Time slowly passed.

Wu Xiaode eloquently spoke for over two hours, only breaking for the restroom five times, drinking water seventeen times, and having one meal.

Time is nearly up!

About 30 minutes remain until twelve hours pass.

Once the "Live Well" task is completed, I will receive a second dose of Evil Spirit Power!

Wu Xiaode was silently contemplating, when suddenly, he felt something and looked around.

He saw the evil-transformed porters along with the large red sedan chair gradually turning transparent, about to disappear.

——This magic had chased and killed dozens of similar spells before finally reaching its end!

Looking back now, after the Evil Transformation, how terrifying this magic had become!

The surrounding scene began to change.

Wu Xiaode, helpless, could only take a defensive posture.

The last 20 minutes——

The spell effect completely vanished.

The world changed rapidly.

Wu Xiaode appeared in a world filled with black rain.

——However, the place where he stood was right beside the lying Qilin.

There was no black rain here.

Looking at the pouring black rain, an instinctual fear emerged, wildly growing in Wu Xiaode's heart.

This was a pure fear from the heart for a living being in the face of madness never witnessed before.

Fortunately, at this moment, relying on the power of the "Lie Flat" sequence, he was also blessed with the title of the "Hermit" sequence, in a state of double stealth.

A line of small bronze letters appeared before him:

"Extinction: Vast and Spangled Misstep has enshrouded everything, contact leads to Evil Transformation, be extremely cautious."

Yet another evil magic.

And moreover, a world-encompassing evil magic.

Luckily, the Qilin is unharmed.

Wu Xiaode shouted inwardly, lucky.

It seems that after repeatedly fooling it, finally using the "Lie Flat" sequence to perform a "Nightmare Heart", it had an effect.

If the Qilin were to have any issues, it would have to undergo another Fetus Concealed Confusion.

Precisely because of this, the Evil Object subconsciously avoided the Qilin.

——This was also his only hope of survival.

Wu Xiaode squatted on the Qilin, silently watching the black rain around.

He thought to himself, having been at the front line for almost a whole day, when could he be transported back?

While he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded by his ear:

"Crack... Crack..."

"Locating."

"The current teleportation point is within the ultra-high-intensity Evil Transformation fluctuation range, situated at the core of the great collapse zone."

"This area has been turned into a battlefield forbidden zone, prohibiting any personnel teleportation here."

"Parameter error, your teleportation has encountered a discrepancy!"

"Currently detecting an A-Level evil magic: Extinction: Vast and Spangled Misstep."

"During the duration of this spell, no combatant member should approach the magic area."

"Currently, there is no available combat guidance."

"In fact, analyzing past data, you should already be dead."

"Detected that you are still alive, conscious, and with a pure soul."

"Currently increasing your combat level:"

"You have been promoted to Private First Class;"

"You have been promoted to Corporal;"

"You have been promoted to Sergeant;"

"..."

"You have continued to survive the Extinction: Vast and Spangled Misstep, exceeding all data, currently increasing your combat level to:"

"Corps Commander."

"The nearest hidden supply point is one hundred and eighty-five kilometers to your northwest, please find a way to reach it."

Wu Xiaode listened silently, slightly dazed.

The Evil Object no longer controlled the Three Realms Isolation Helmet, so it began to function normally.

Among these prompt sounds, a particular phrase caught Wu Xiaode's attention.

"I want to ask, why did I appear in the prohibited teleportation zone?"

He asked.

A voice sounded in the helmet again:

"This is an enemy-occupied area."

"Evil Object is classified by strength, ranging from low to high, as follows:"

"D, C, B, A, S, and Super S level."

"An Evil Object capable of performing 'Extinction: Vast and Spangled Misstep' has reached A-Level, beneath the Holy, no one can escape or survive before it."

"Thus, this area is prohibited for teleportation!"

"Unless a teleportation point is preset, it's impossible to reach this place."

Wu Xiaode smiled slightly.

The answer to the whole matter was self-evident.

The Jiuyao not only recruited him to participate in the frontline battle but also transmitted him to this enemy-occupied area.

This is really——

Makes one want to kill all of its subordinates, then take it down as well!

"Is there any practical combat advice?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

The helmet sounded:

"Sorry, combat above A-Level is all classified content, not open to those outside the Holy."

If not, then so be it.

After the previous battle, it is temporarily safe now.

Then just keep waiting!

Wu Xiaode sighed and continued to squat on the Qilin, watching the black rain outside.

Time slowly passed.

Finally.

Twelve hours had passed!

The Evil Spirit Book suddenly opened, revealing lines of small bronze letters:

"You have completed the Evil Spirit task 'Survive Well'."

"For twelve hours, you remained alive, causing Jiuyao's plot to eliminate you to fail."

"You have acquired Evil Spirit Power."

"Evil Spirit Power exists only in the final abyss of countless Death Worlds, never to leave, nor to be captured."

"You possess the Evil Spirit Book; with compatibility, you can thus resonate to obtain it."

"Additionally."

"Your Calamity: Dragon Snake Chaos Dance is close to completing its evolution; are you willing to invest stronger skills to elevate its fusion to a higher level?"
