Holy Fist!

[Would you like to proceed with skill fusion?]

[Would you like to include Passive Shocking Wisdom?]

Bai Xiao immediately confirmed, "Include!"

Instantly, the Martial Arts Master's interface lit up, and the mysterious and unpredictable power of Passive Shocking Wisdom was gradually extracted into the King of Forbidden enhancement. The three Qi Point secret techniques exploded with astonishing brightness. A large grinding disc light wheel rotated at high speed, crushing the insights of various cultivation techniques inch by inch. Subsequently, it extracted the essence and discarded the dross, revealing a brand-new vitality.

Two or three minutes later.

The vision flickered between light and dark, and the enhancement gradually ceased.

Suspended quietly in mid-air was a cultivation technique.

"Star Moon Qi Hole Map"

Bai Xiao took a deep breath, and without the slightest pause, he activated the King of Forbidden enhancement once more. He planned to use the newly born Star Moon Qi Hole Map as a foundation, adding the Three Qi Points, and then incorporating the Seven Star Life Pointing for a second fusion.

"King of Forbidden, proceed with skill fusion!"

With Bai Xiao's command, the grinding disc light wheel started spinning again.

About five minutes later.

He looked quietly forward, observing the remaining secret technique suspended in the air.

"Ninety-nine Qi Holes"

Here, nine symbolized an unknown number, indirectly referring to infinity.

Ninety-nine Qi Holes were evidently a comprehensive guideline for Qi holes, establishing a giant framework throughout the body. It only required more new Qi hole positions to be supplemented and enhanced continuously.

Bai Xiao shivered slightly, his muscles bulged, and his form grew taller. On his burly frame were a total of one hundred and twenty-three platinum stars, which blinked and resonated with each other, forming a unifying effect.

Within his body, the powerful and surging platinum Qi resembled the ebb and flow of the ocean. With each breath, it rapidly flowed into one hundred and twenty-three Qi holes, swirling in the tempering vortex before flowing out again. This cycle repeated endlessly.

Bai Xiao's solid-state Qi became increasingly heavy and formidable.

His entire aura was elevating visibly, inch by inch. It seemed that such enhancement would last for at least a couple of days.

Bai Xiao had a premonition that after two days, his solid-state Qi's tempering would reach an extremely high degree. It might even be refined to the utmost.

Step half a foot into the realm of the Peak Faction Master!

"Then, the only thing that can obstruct me from reaching the peak is the consolidation of Martial Arts Will. The three-year-old Enlightenment Tea Leaves are still insufficient. I need more fresh Enlightenment Tea Leaves to evoke more Master's Enlightenment from the Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform..." Bai Xiao felt a slight stir in his heart.

In previous Martial Arts Competitions, there seemed to be rewards of Enlightenment Tea Leaves. The scope of these rewards was quite generous, considering the participants were top masters from various sects, not just novice young geniuses. If I can break into the top five in the competition, I could obtain Enlightenment Tea Leaves measured by the pound! Plus freshly picked Enlightenment Tea Leaves as reward.

"The Glazed Enlightenment Lotus Platform, even at the peak level, has a tremendous effect on me and requires a vast amount of Enlightenment Tea Leaves. Combined with the presence of the Peak Transcendent Refining Secret Technique Water-Fire Immortal, this Martial Arts Competition indeed requires thorough preparation. If I can advance to the Peak Faction Master level in advance, the odds of victory will be greater. As of now, it's hard to say whether I can sweep all enemies..."

Bai Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.

Even among Peak Faction Masters, there were differences.

Take for instance, the Sword Demon who was about to break through to the Grandmaster level and the Holy Armor Golden Floss who had recently entered the peak; they were on completely different levels. Bai Xiao was now only in the Transformation Realm, and even with two Forbidden Secret Martials supporting him, he was still at a disadvantage. Moreover, it was rumored that the Sword Demon also possessed Forbidden Secret Martial.

A half-step Grandmaster with Forbidden Secret Martial is extremely dangerous!

"Continue to enhance!"

He took a deep breath and glanced at the eighty remaining Potential Points.

Half an hour later.

In front of Bai Xiao appeared a Second Rank offensive dragon-type secret martial.

"Jade Dragon Claw"

Consuming elixirs, calming the mind, and adding dark red points.

After completing the process, he left the dojo for further study, his arms hanging at the sides faintly glowing with a jade hue, like indestructible dragon claws.

[Your profession "Martial Arts Grandmaster" experienced +200!]

[Your skill "Jade Dragon Claw" experienced +3800!]

[Your skill "Jade Dragon Claw Introduction" leveled up to "Perfection"!]

This time, Bai Xiao did not enhance using Dragon Heart Elephant Intent to swallow the Jade Dragon Claw with the Dragon Elephant Scripture. Instead, he chose to preserve it, planning to use it for the Kunpeng Devouring Dragon Painting later. The Martial Arts Competition would undoubtedly be a grand battle, and the true protagonists were the renowned peak masters from the Tianxia Federation and even worldwide.

Even Bai Xiao needed to accumulate strategies and approach with caution!

An hour passed, and changes in the four-dimensional attributes became evident.

[Strength: 245.8→248.5]

[Speed: 230.5→232.7]

[Physique: 240.0→242.5]

[Will: 236.5→238.3]

Strength +2.7, Speed +2.2, Physique +2.5, Will +1.8.

Slight growth in all aspects.

Throughout the afternoon and evening, Bai Xiao continued to employ the Ninety-nine Qi Holes secret technique, accelerating his own Qi tempering. With his proactive guidance, the speed of Qi tempering across his body increased, as over a hundred Qi holes vibrated and honed in unison.

Until the next morning.

Bai Xiao's tempering was remarkably near completion.

By around midday, it would likely be finished.

...

At eight in the morning, East Sea City, Dragon Elephant Martial Arts Hall.

"Tap tap tap..."
