In front of his vision, the four-dimensional attributes had undergone certain changes.
[Strength: 77.0→81.5]
[Physique: 84.0→87.0]
Strength +4.5, Speed +2.3, Physique +3.0, Will +2.0!
With a sweeping glance, Bai Xiao was clearly aware of his own strengths and weaknesses.
From the data, it was evident that his strength and physique attributes were far superior to the other two attributes, even reaching gaps of twenty to thirty points. This was unavoidable, as Bai Xiao practiced Hard Skill more frequently, leading to higher improvements in physique and strength compared to speed. As for willpower attribute, it was notoriously difficult to improve, with hardly any known effective methods.
"Demon Bird Secret Book"!
Bai Xiao walked on the path inside the Fierce Bird Sect, bright black new street lamps on both sides, illuminating the green grass and bushes around.
There were little black insects dancing gracefully with the light.
"Demon Bird Secret Book, is a spiritual Secret Martial. It is a technique that plants a demonic seed in the hearts of those who fear me, an Evil Technique! Today at the final stage of the Dark World combat competition, He Xiang, who was defeated, also left behind a shadow of the demonic seed. Xing Lie and He Xiang are the only two people in recent times, whose minds I’ve planted with demonic seeds..." Bai Xiao walked evenly, his thoughts racing in his mind.
"The more hostility and intent to kill they have towards me, the more the emotional fluctuation and psychological contrast brought by my overwhelming strength crush their psychological defenses, leaving behind the demonic seed. Conversely, those who are indifferent to winning or losing, calm in emotion, and had no preconceived notions about me before the battle, even if they lose, they won’t be affected..."
He pondered some effects of the Demon Bird Secret Book.
On the quiet path, only the faint sound of Bai Xiao’s footsteps could be heard.
"The effect of the demonic seed is not only to cast shadows over individuals like He Xiang but also their emotional fluctuations can bring me special Fear Qi through the demonic seed. This Fear Qi... can nourish my spirit!"
"At the beginning, it was just Xing Lie alone, and I didn’t feel anything special. But today, with the addition of He Xiang, all effects have shown." In his mind, a slow-moving demon mantis with black veiny green skin, gradually spread its ghastly wings. Two black spots representing tiny ghost faces on the wings enlarged.
Two harvested fear emotions turned into black smoke and surged out.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath, feeling his mind chilled. The next second, various extreme negative and dark emotions surged like a tide.
His eyes slightly reddened with blood veins, his chest heaving, adjusting his state.
Walking back to the Martial Arts Arena, this change finally stopped.
The willpower attribute had increased by 0.8, not much, but it was a good start. This indicated that Bai Xiao had found a way to improve the most difficult spiritual will attribute, truly worthy of being a spiritual Secret Martial! Furthermore, he felt that ever since he started practicing the Demon Bird Secret Book, there seemed to be an unknown change occurring within him. And this change was greatly related to the Martial Fighter Realm. Previously, Chen Liao had explained to Bai Xiao about this level of Martial Fighter.
A Martial Fighter, upon entering the deep world for the first time, would sense a world fragment closely linked to him as if predestined. And a Martial Fighter, within this world fragment, can gradually complete their spirit, body, and mind, allowing the person to achieve perfect transcendence, or rather to condense a brand new self using the robust substances from the deep world! The manifestation of this fragment world, in reality, is your distorted materialized projection.
A few days ago, Bai Xiao had advanced to the Martial Fighter Realm. He tried to enter the deep, but no world fragment appeared. Instead, the more he sensed, the more a familiar nightmare appeared in front of him. After repeated confirmations...
Bai Xiao was sure, that increasingly approaching thing was a feared nightmare!
Although he was reluctant to believe.
But, the fact was right in front of him.
Just now, Bai Xiao sensed that the world fragment that should belong to his own Martial Fighter Realm had indeed become a feared nightmare. Or rather, the two overlapped, merged into one, no longer distinguishable. He didn’t know whether this was because he carried the Skull Mark or because of the Demon Bird Secret Book. In any case, a brand-new path seemed to have appeared before him.
"I must try it out and see what’s happening!"
After a session of training and processing, Bai Xiao tidied up the yard and came to the combat hall at the Fierce Bird Sect Headquarters, where there was also a private Martial Arts Arena belonging to him.
In a quiet setting, calming his mind, Bai Xiao tried to fall asleep.
Soon, he found that everything had started to change. Usually, the Skull Mark would forcibly pull Bai Xiao into a fear nightmare once it collected enough Fear Qi, while a Martial Fighter’s world fragment, by common sense, could be entered with a mere thought. These two had strangely merged.
It took him a while to find the method to unlock it.
That is, by using the Demon Bird Secret Book, releasing a bit of Fear Qi, much like lighting a bright torch in the real world as a marker. Bai Xiao could use this to pull the fear nightmare to himself and actively enter it.
"Is it a compromise manifestation?"
In a blurring sense, he once again entered the fear nightmare.
The sky was about to brighten, and the sun lingered below the horizon for a long time.
In the combat hall, Bai Xiao suddenly awakened from his sleep.
