Holy Fist

Chapter 57: 057 Is it over after being opened? (Requesting monthly tickets)
 

After a cold shower, Bai Xiao stepped out of the bathroom at a slow pace.

In front of his eyes, the brand-new four-dimensional attributes had already appeared.

[Power: 15.1→16.5]

[Speed: 13.3→14.3]

[Physique: 14.1→15.2]

[Will: 12.7→13.2]

Power +1.4, speed +1.0, physique +1.1, will +0.5.

This wave of improvement was fierce.

It was equivalent to an entire point increase in Bai Xiao’s overall four-dimensional attributes!

This was on top of the already high base Bai Xiao had.

The previous increases couldn’t even hold a candle to this one.

“I’ve become stronger…”

Bai Xiao squeezed his firm, sturdy arms and then began to put on his clothes. As he had bought several sizes of shirts and pants before, the whole set still fit very well today, maintaining the overall black style.

After a simple tidy-up, Bai Xiao got everything ready.

All were placed on the living room table.

He put on his sneakers and slowly stood up straight.

Bai Xiao’s gaze fell on the red boxing power tester on the wall, and he walked towards it. When he was a meter away from the tester, he suddenly took a step forward, his arm compressing like a spring, and he struck fiercely!

Bang!

A dull sound echoed in the living room.

Bai Xiao looked up to see the tester’s data quickly stabilizing.

“283.2kg!”

A full seventy kilograms of power had increased, that was the perfection of Sandboxing!

The enhancement brought by the perfection of a Sandboxing skill was even more exaggerated than the consecutive improvements of Boxing small achievement and Sandboxing great achievement!

Within this achievement was the reason for Bai Xiao’s significant attribute enhancement, as well as the powerful exertion techniques brought by the perfection of Sandboxing, both of which combined to cause the improvement.

Within the Federation Nine-Division, the highest division is professional four-division.

And the threshold for professional four-division is merely 270kg.

Bai Xiao’s punching power had not only reached professional four-division but was not far from Boxing King level. And his actual combat ability was only higher, not lower.

To perfect a combat skill was not something simple to achieve.

Even the Boxing King in the ring might not possess it.

“The upcoming assessment at the Martial Arts Association will be a piece of cake!”

Bai Xiao picked up his backpack with one hand, carried it on his left shoulder, opened the anti-theft door, and clattered downstairs to take the familiar bus to the training facility.

Ten o’clock in the morning, gymnasium, area three.

The many students of the elite class began their usual practice of breathing techniques and exercising on the frame, which is the foundation of everything. There are gaps even among geniuses, like the normal elite class members who still hadn’t gotten the hang of the White Bird Breathing Technique. Whereas Bai Xiao was about to master the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual.

Of course, he couldn’t compare himself to the regular students.

He was cheating.

Since he was cheating, he might as well do it thoroughly.

After revising the breathing technique and the exercise frame, Bai Xiao again approached Instructor Liu Yang, expressing his wish to go to the transmission room to visualize the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual.

“Just go directly, Master Chen knows you anyway,”

“By the way, you are the top student of class three, so every time you visualize the Boxing Manual, you can get two blood salts per day. If you run out of blood salt, don’t continue to visualize, or bad things will happen. Someone tried it repeatedly in the past and ended up going mad from deviation…”

Instructor Liu Yang gave this reminder, not wanting a promising talent to die young.

Bai Xiao nodded to show he understood, and then made his way to the transmission room.

The old man named Chen Liao was still lying at the entrance of the warehouse sleeping.

But as Bai Xiao approached, he moved the fan that was covering his face.

“Are you here?”

Chen Liao seemed to know it was Bai Xiao. Because, in the entire training facility, only he had finished the first two steps this early and had begun visualizing the Boxing Manual.

“I am.”

Bai Xiao replied.

Five minutes later, in the transmission room, amidst a silent darkness.

He swallowed the two blood salts in his hand and instantly activated the Pure Heart State, concentrating all his attention on visualizing the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual.

If it was cheating, then it was cheating; there was no point in dwelling on it.

After all, it was his own talent.

Bai Xiao felt no psychological burden using it.

It was all part of his innate talent, indivisible!

Whoosh!

Another fighting technique moved, leaping out from the fluorescent blueprint in front. One foot forward, one foot back, his center of gravity sank, yet his hands suddenly stretched backward, raised high as if they were the soaring wings of a fierce bird.

“Wind Bird Style!”

As expected, Bai Xiao was hit hard by a punch, both mentally and physically shocked. However, he was more composed today than yesterday, probably due to the significant improvement from perfecting his sandboxing in a short time.

Waves of information flooded his mind, branding the memory of fist skills.

Next, just as Instructor Liu Yang said, after three moves of fighting technique, the difficulty of visualizing the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual noticeably increased. Bai Xiao couldn’t comprehend the fourth fighting technique in one go and was hit twice in succession, achieving about two-thirds of it, just one punch short of completion.

When he came out of the transmission room, he eyed the prompt in front of him.

[Occupational Skill: Fierce Bird Fighting Skill (Active)]

[Requirements: 1. Entry-level White Bird Breathing Technique √, 2. Entry-level Blackbird Exercise Frame √, 3. Three or more fighting technique moves obtained from the Visualization Boxing Manual √]

“Success!”

Bai Xiao returned to the gym to continue practicing his breathing technique and exercise frame, while also deploying the three fighting technique moves he had just mastered.

Liu Yang, seeing Bai Xiao master yet another fighting technique move, seemed almost numb. Was this kid cheating at martial arts? How could he be so freakish?

To complete the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual in just two days? That was absurd.

If Bai Xiao knew what Instructor Liu Yang was thinking,

he might have retorted.

Not hanging means cheating? Since when does that make sense?

At half-past three in the afternoon, the elite class training ended.

Bai Xiao boarded the blue bus back to Sunshine District.

On the back seat, by the window, he quietly observed his occupational panel.

[Occupation: Fighter LV.2 (109/200)]

[Talent: Pure Heart]

[Skill 5: Basic Fierce Bird Fighting Technique (1/200)]

The fifth skill of the Fighter occupation had appeared, different from other occupational skills. The Fierce Bird Fighting Technique required two hundred experience points to advance to the next stage right off the bat, double that of skills like boxing.

“The more difficult it is to upgrade an occupational skill, the more significant the enhancement effect it brings after the upgrade. The potential of the Fierce Bird Fighting Skill is definitely above other ordinary fighting techniques. Moreover, it seems that this is not all of the Fierce Bird Sect. What Fierce Bird Sect primarily practices is probably not so-called combat skills but…”

“Fierce Bird Fist!”

Bai Xiao calmed his mind, suppressing any hints of arrogance brought by the growth in strength. He gazed out the window, the scenery rapidly passing by.

After a short rest, Bai Xiao continued his delivery business.

From just after four in the afternoon, he worked until eight at night.

As night fell, the sky turned a deep indigo color. In the dark and profound night, thick clouds stretched across the sky beside the glowing moon, sometimes lifting it high, sometimes shrouding it, with not a trace of moonlight seeping through.

In Huaisui City, Xuanshan District.

Near a weed-filled, unfinished building.

Bai Xiao rode his electric bike there, swiftly parking it on the roadside. He took two orders of fried chicken out of the thermal box and walked toward the security guard.

Apparently, this delivery was for the security guard watching over the unfinished building.

The night breeze was cool, and the area was unusually quiet, with only the sound of rustling weeds on the roadside, likely home to many small animals passing through. The neglected unfinished building would soon become a small ecosystem with rats and venomous snakes being a common sight.

“Tap tap tap…”

The lone sound of footsteps slowly approached from a distance.

Carrying the delivery, Bai Xiao walked towards the dimly lit area.

However, when he reached the guard’s post, he found no one there.

After calling out several times with no response, Bai Xiao had no choice but to leave the food at the guard’s post and leave a photo reminder message on the app.

Having dealt with everything, he turned around to leave.

At that moment, from the weeds around the unfinished building.

A fierce sound of something being torn apart suddenly erupted.

To the ears, it was as if a tiger was busily devouring the flesh of its prey, the gleaming, fierce fangs horrifying.

“Hehehe…”

A low growl, not of human origin, grew increasingly intense.

It brought a scalp-tingling sense of horror.

“What is that!?”
