Holy Fist!

"Forbidden Secret Martial?"

In the meeting room, Bai Xiao was also slightly surprised, his eyes narrowing.

Although he already possessed two forbidden arts, he still understood the value of the Forbidden Secret Martial. For a Peak Faction Master to step into the realm of the Grandmaster, the best way is to master a Forbidden Secret Martial, because for Peak Faction Masters to rely on their own power to cross that great divide is unimaginably difficult.

This time, the Martial Arts Competition actually has a Forbidden Secret Martial as one of the rewards, which, once spread, will surely stir up a huge commotion and cause turmoil in the entire Secret Martial World. By then, the sect leaders of the major first-class sects within the Secret Martial World would likely be eager to make a move. Even some top lone fighters who are usually extremely low-key will likely appear for this grand event.

Although previous Martial Arts Competitions were also grand, many peak warriors, for various reasons, had never participated. However, this edition of the Martial Arts Competition is likely to be more lively than all past events.

Next, Shen Ping also revealed much information to Bai Xiao.

For instance, this Martial Arts Competition even features other mysterious rewards that are in no way inferior to the Forbidden Secret Martial, which will be announced when the competition begins.

Moreover, this time the Martial Arts Competition is not just a festivity within the Tianxia Federation. The Martial Arts Association has also invited some renowned experts from other countries. It seems to be an attempt to expand the Martial Arts Association's international influence.

In summary, they have invested heavily!

There will surely be a diverse group of peak warriors flooding in from all over. With forces gathering and tigers and dragons fighting, the intensity could be of historic proportions! Even, according to Shen Ping, the 13th Martial Arts Competition will most likely produce the strongest under the Grandmaster, not only limited to Tianxia Federation but on a global scale.

In previous Martial Arts Competitions, there was not enough prestige, and there were relatively few peak warriors participating. Sometimes, in the late stages, the fights ended quickly, mainly serving as a platform for exchange and sparring. However, this time, the Martial Arts Association explicitly promoted the slogan "No First in Literature, No Second in Martial Arts," with extensive publicity.

It clearly indicates an entirely different scenario from previous competitions.

The 13th Martial Arts Competition is sure to be a grand event in martial arts.

Meeting room.

"Forbidden Secret Martial, Water and Fire Immortal Robe, is actually a cultivation technique inclined towards Cross Training. I wonder how it compares to my Dragon Elephant Scripture…"

Bai Xiao murmured to himself, somewhat tempted.

Having mastered the Dragon Elephant Scripture, his physique and body are already invincible. If he could also obtain the Water and Fire Immortal Robe, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Moreover, according to Shen Ping's description, although the Forbidden Secret Martial Water and Fire Immortal Robe and Dragon Elephant Scripture are both horizontal training methods, their focuses differ slightly. Bai Xiao's Dragon Elephant Scripture is more inclined towards strengthening physical power, indirectly enhancing defense, akin to Inner Strength, while the Water and Fire Immortal Robe is purely defensive, the most top-tier external skill!

"Perhaps I should try to obtain this Water and Fire Immortal Robe."

Bai Xiao's mind turned, he thought to himself.

"Anyway, the entire Martial Arts Competition lasts only three days. The conditions for the Martial Arts Competition are stringent, and there aren't many top-tier warriors. It is naturally impossible to have the layered selection and competition like during the Dark World Fighting Competition…"

A little past noon, Shen Ping left the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall.

This time he came to talk to Bai Xiao about two things, one was the Martial Arts Competition just mentioned, and the other was related to the Tianxia Cleaning Bureau. The location of the Tianxia Cleaning Bureau Headquarters has been officially selected, in the northern suburbs of East Sea City, Silver Mirror Building.

Bai Xiao, as the deputy director of the Tianxia Cleaning Bureau and the representative of the Martial Arts Association within the bureau, needs to visit the Silver Mirror Building soon to perform his duties. However, there is no set time for him to go, probably sometime in the next three or four days. Upon hearing this news, Bai Xiao couldn't help but recall the mech from last night.

The Twelve-winged Angel, immensely powerful, with incredibly terrifying energy.

"I wonder if I'll encounter this person at the Tianxia Cleaning Bureau…"

Half an hour passed.

1 PM.

In the Meditation Dojo of the Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall, Bai Xiao, wearing a black and gold combat suit, was slowly practicing the Fist Seal, stirring the air. Unintentionally, he created a huge swirling air current over the entire open square.

But the air current's speed was too slow to generate a strong wind.

"Tap, tap, tap…"

Outside, suddenly a series of rapid footsteps approached.

Under the white stone arch, Canaan's figure entered slightly hurriedly. Upon seeing Bai Xiao, she stopped, took a deep breath, and said.

"Hall Master, my friend from the West sent me a message."

"Divine Eagle Qu Yu, unexpectedly broke through his barrier early this morning, ending years of seclusion. He intends to walk the Western territories again…"

"Several pillars of the Holy Fire Divine Eagle Style have been eliminated by us. Given Divine Eagle Qu Yu's vengeful nature, he is likely to respond immediately, and it is not out of the question that he may come directly to the Eastern region to confront our Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall…"

Bai Xiao slowly lowered his hands, looking at Canaan with an expressionless face.

"It doesn't matter."

"If he wants revenge, then let him come."

Bai Xiao knew that the main reason for Divine Eagle Qu Yu's breakthrough from seclusion was, in all probability, related to the 13th Martial Arts Competition. The Forbidden Secret Martial, Water and Fire Immortal Robe, probably has a tremendous allure for him. And, exacting revenge for his disciples and causing trouble for Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall and Bai Xiao himself, is just secondary.
