The woman saw Bai Xiao from afar, her eyes brightening.

She immediately quickened her pace, a slight smile on her face.

"Mr. Bai Xiao, I apologize for keeping you waiting."

Opposite her, Bai Xiao slowly raised his head, swallowing his last bite of beef.

"It’s no problem, we haven’t reached our appointed time yet."

"I was a bit hungry, so I arrived early."

"Please, have a seat."

His words were concise, his voice cold and unvarying.

An Rusu hurriedly walked over and seated herself elegantly.

The black briefcase was also gently placed beside her.

Yes, An Rusu had also arrived in the Imperial Capital.

Wuyuan Company had always been following the Dark World Fighting Competition.

At the table, Bai Xiao continued enjoying his lavish meal.

And An Rusu, after a brief moment to organize her thoughts, began speaking.

"Can I take a look at those cultivation techniques you mentioned?"

"If there’s no mistake, you should be able to gain quite a few points this time."

Bai Xiao’s hand, holding his meal, paused slightly.

He glanced at An Rusu and then said.

"Did you bring the qinggong I asked for?"

An Rusu immediately patted the black briefcase beside her.

So Bai Xiao didn’t say more, directly handing her several handwritten manuals.

"Giant Statue Technique Fourth Layer"

"Blood Coagulation Qi Shield Fourth Layer"

"Silver Marrow Technique Fourth Layer"

The first two were third-class Horizontal Training Secret Techniques, while the latter was a less prominent hard skill. The first manual, the Giant Statue Technique, was obtained as a reward for sparring with Ye Meng and Fang Chao, a relatively common hard skill. The second manual, Blood Coagulation Qi Shield, was exchanged from Wuyuan Company. The third, Silver Marrow Technique, was gifted by Mountain King Chen Xiu. Bai Xiao did not provide the original texts, only the fourth layers.

Of course, the most precious parts were the fourth layers.

Breaking through the limits on the original framework, how difficult that is!

After he took out the items.

An Rusu carefully reviewed them for a moment, not spending an hour as she did in their first transaction; she concluded her review quickly.

It was clear she did not wish to waste Bai Xiao’s time.

Fierce Fist Bai Xiao had now become a valued guest of Wuyuan Company. Internally, the company was contemplating whether to elevate his status to Senior Advisor because Bai Xiao’s performance in the national competition had been even more astounding, garnering him the titles of the strongest in physique and strength among the younger generation! He had become the company’s latest promotional figure.

Naturally, they needed to strengthen their cooperation and not neglect him.

Thus, An Rusu rushed over, though she was quite far from the restaurant. The moment she received the message, she hurried over.

"Truly the top Horizontal Training expert among the young generation in the Secret Martial World of the Federation!"

"Practicing hard skills to such a refined level and even innovating upon them! He can be considered a prodigy at the peak of Horizontal Training..."

An Rusu closed all the manuals and sighed.

This indeed matched Bai Xiao’s character. As the leading Horizontal Training expert of his generation, achieving more astonishing feats in his specialty was perfectly reasonable and beyond dispute.

At most, he could be called a monstrous genius.

"This man is born to establish his own martial arts school!"

An Rusu looked at Bai Xiao’s towering figure again and murmured.

Five minutes later, Bai Xiao, having finished eating and drinking, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth.

Opposite him, An Rusu had finally completed her calculations.

"With these three secret manuals, you will receive a total of 1300 points. If you’re satisfied, our transaction is complete..."

Bai Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, asking.

If he remembered correctly, he previously sold four secret manuals, including the third-class Copper Statue Technique, and only got 500 points. Though there were two third-class Secret Martial Skills this time, it shouldn’t be this much. Bai Xiao estimated around 1000 points, just enough to gain ten potential points.

"That’s because you are now a Senior Advisor."

"I just inquired with the company over the phone."

An Rusu continued smiling.

Bai Xiao nodded his head; it seemed Wuyuan Company was genuinely sincere. The points a Senior Advisor could receive were increased by 30% on the original basis.

It was like getting free points.

He extended his hand, hovering midair, and shook hands with An Rusu quickly.

The transaction was completed.

An Rusu obtained the three secret manuals.

Bai Xiao gained 1300 points, including a third-class qinggong he exchanged for on the spot using points. He did this to ensure he could reach the maximum speed attribute of 140 by the time the Dark World Fighting Competition ended.

This was his precautionary measure.

4:30 PM, Apartment No.1, Fifth Floor.

Bai Xiao returned to his bedroom and quietly gazed out the window.

In his blank stare, rapid streams of black information scrolled down.

[Your task "Contribute Secret Martial Skills," experience +1300!]

[Task: Contribute (Accumulated Experience: 1300)]

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This time, it truly was enough!

With Bai Xiao’s command, a mysterious power enveloped him, and the experience points accumulated from the contribution task surged out like a torrent.

Meanwhile, potential points in the Dark Red Modifier skyrocketed.

Eyes flickering, gaze fixed.

[Task: Contribute (Accumulated Experience: 0)]

[Potential Points: 15]

Bai Xiao whispered to himself and without hesitation, activated his thought process once more.

[Skill: Golden Muscle Body Fourth Layer (1/600)]+

His eyes tightened, and his pupils flashed.

Half a minute later, all the intense changes ended in silence.

[Your profession "Secret Martial Arts Expert," experience +90!]

[Your skill "Golden Muscle Body Beginner," experience +600!]

[Skill "Golden Muscle Body Third Layer," advanced to "Golden Muscle Body Fourth Layer"!]

His gaze shifted downward.

[Skill: Golden Muscle Body Fourth Layer (∞/∞)]

[Potential Points: 3]

Bai Xiao exhaled a mouthful of hot air, his qi-blood surged to its peak. He didn’t pause his actions; instead, his mind focused even more intensely.

His eyes were bright, staring furiously ahead.

"I can finally begin..."

"Grandmaster Enhancement!"

With Bai Xiao’s words, a passive skill instantly activated.

[Below are the skills eligible for Horizontal Training Hard Skill Fusion]

[Skill: Jade Bone Skill Fourth Layer (∞/∞)]

[Skill: Silver Marrow Technique Fourth Layer]
