Chapter 77: 074 Four-dimensional attributes advance by leaps and bounds
 

“`

Crack crack crack…

Layer by layer of fine black film peeled off, falling into the medicinal bath within the wooden barrel. Bai Xiao's left hand brushed over his right arm, and underneath the muscles, as strong and hard as granite, were suddenly revealed. The surface skin didn't have the honey color that appeared as if a thick layer of tung oil was applied, like at the Tough Skin Level.

Instead, it became much fairer—a solid rock-white color.

Smooth, hard, heavy…

This color made the muscles on the arm even more rugged and pronounced, as if they were carved textures on a statue from Ancient Greece.

Dynamic tension filled with strength and beauty surged within him.

Waves sloshed in the wooden barrel.

Bai Xiao stepped out of it and wiped his entire body with a dry towel.

He glanced down at his body, checking it over—it was all pale, not a single spot was missed. His entire frame seemed to have compressed a bit, the skeleton was still as large, but the muscles had become tighter and more dense, shrinking by a layer.

Of course, since Bai Xiao had been excessively robust before, after shrinking twice, he still had a vigorous and mighty physique. His muscular build was similar to that of a swimmer but a tad more robust. His abdominal shark muscle was dense and detailed, giving a feeling of gears meshing when his body swayed from side to side.

It didn't resemble a human body; it was more like a machine.

Thump thump thump!

He raised his fists and pounded his chest a few times fiercely.

He felt nothing, as if a layer of hard armor was blocking it from the outside.

At least half of the impact force was dissipated.

In that case, Bai Xiao's ability to resist hits had directly doubled. If someone else delivered a punch with four hundred kilograms of force, he would only experience an impact of two hundred kilograms. This was a completely different concept.

Four hundred kilograms, a heavyweight Boxing King.

Two hundred kilograms, only a professional first dan.

The difference between them spanned six or seven grades.

“Hard Skin, indeed very hard!”

His gaze turned forward, and his four-dimensional attributes had undergone significant changes.

[Power: 17.4→17.6]

[Speed: 15.1→15.3]

[Physique: 17.5→19.0]

[Will: 13.9→14.1]

Power +0.2, Speed +0.2, Physique +1.5, Will +0.2.

The highest Physique attribute had reached nineteen points!

The Five Birds Potion added to the defensive capability of the membrane, so the spike in Physique was substantial. And this was not yet his limit for today! Bai Xiao hadn't yet replenished his nutrition and energy, only after the enhancement would his true four-dimensional attributes be realized.

He relished in the joy of his increased strength, dressed in clothes that had expanded a size, and he walked out from the secret chamber. Bai Xiao's stomach growled, and he felt both weakness and hunger overwhelming him, his saliva incessantly secreting.

“Master Chen, is the cafeteria still open?”

Bai Xiao stood beside Chen Liao and eagerly asked.

“I've already notified them for you, just go straight there.”

On the reclining chair, Chen Liao looked drowsy again.

He covered his head and face with a palm-leaf fan, rocking the chair back and forth leisurely.

After thanking Chen Liao, Bai Xiao hurried to the White Bird Training Base cafeteria. Luckily, it was only twelve o'clock, and lunchtime had just passed by a few minutes; the food hadn't been cleared away yet. He let his appetite run wild, reveling in the joy of the buffet as numerous delicacies disappeared as if into a bottomless pit.

He gulped down the last three stalks of snow-white, tender, jumbo crab leg meat.

Bai Xiao swallowed it as if it were bread.

His slightly greasy hand grabbed the soup bowl, and he drank it all in one go.

Not a drop of the medicinal soup was left.

He let out a long breath of satisfaction.

Bai Xiao wiped his hands with a napkin, stood up, and felt a warm and cozy sensation throughout his body, as the tiredness and hunger dissipated. He belched and left the cafeteria under the shocked gaze of a cook.

Aunty: “Is the food I make really that delicious!?”

White Bird Training Base, storeroom.

A training facility room used for setting up punching power meters.

Bai Xiao alternated his feet back and forth in a warm-up routine, tapping rhythmically.

He gazed forward, and his four-dimensional attributes were quietly displayed.

[Power: 17.6→19.1]

[Speed: 15.3→16.5]

[Physique: 19.0→20.1]

[Will: 14.1→14.7]

Power +1.5, Speed +1.2, Physique +1.1, Will +0.6!

Bai Xiao's Physique attribute had already broken through twenty points!

The secondary Power attribute had also reached over nineteen points.

“Let me test out what nineteen points of strength is really like.”

His calf muscles suddenly compacted, his feet propelled him forward, and in an instant like an arrow he shot out. Whoosh, his fist became a black streak across the sky, and with a loud bang, it struck the punching power meter, causing the machine to tremble.

All the fierce power poured out was turned into clear data.

Bai Xiao retracted his fist and stood still, his eyes calmly looking on.

“`

“403.1kg!”

A single punch's power had broken through four hundred kilograms.

What was the concept of four hundred kilograms? An absolute heavyweight Boxing King!

Those heavyweight Boxing Kings currently active on the world professional stage, their fists' power were also just at this level. Bai Xiao vaguely remembered a heavyweight Boxing King from his past life, ranked fourth in the world.

The leaked data on his punching power was around 420 kilograms.

“My current punching power can already compare with those standing at the very top among the world's heavyweight Boxing Kings!” Bai Xiao's half side face, immersed in sunlight, showed a hint of an indescribable expression—a confidence.

The physical strength was like a warm bed, slowly nourishing the spirit and soul. That kind of confidence from deep within, along with composure and dominance, would naturally form an outward aura—that was the aura of a strong person!

“Not bad, but still not enough.”

Suddenly, from the doorway, Chen Liao's voice drifted over.

Bai Xiao turned his head and saw Chen Liao's slender figure walking over.

He was wearing a set of loose black clothes, with black-edged white canvas shoes, and a row of buttons on the front of his shirt, which gave him an air of an old-generation martial arts instructor. Chen Liao began to speak, “A punching power of four hundred kilograms is indeed the pinnacle among ordinary people, enough to surpass the vast majority of people…”

“But, breaking through the human limit”

“is a belief that we of the Fierce Bird Sect have always upheld.”

He paused, speaking to Bai Xiao quickly and succinctly.

“The Fierce Bird Sect has methods for cultivation, training, and killing. You have already touched upon the cultivation methods, so I won't mention them. As for training, it basically relies on the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual Visualization from the cultivation methods. The combat moves and combination routines in training are about mastering the boxing techniques realized from the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual…”

“Twelve boxing technique combat moves form various combinations!”

“As for the killing method, not to speak of the battle consciousness for now, as it requires long-term practical training. But the burst skill can take a shortcut. Those of mediocre talent practice honestly in the elite class for several months, learning the basics with the instructors. For those with extraordinary talent, by Imagining the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual and achieving six or more boxing technique moves, there is a chance to directly understand the burst skill from the manual, naturally mastering it in their limbs…”

Chen Liao's gaze was quietly fixed on Bai Xiao.

“Just now, if you had mastered a special burst skill, the force of that punch you threw would definitely have been more than that. For a beginner-level, the punching power should increase by at least thirty percent, do the math yourself to see how much force you'd throw in a punch…”

Bai Xiao's eyes flickered, surprise glinting in his pupils.

If his punch was four hundred kilograms, and if he could increase his strength by another thirty percent.

Wouldn't that be…

“Half a ton with a single punch!”

Half a ton was five hundred kilograms, but in reality, by standard calculations.

After mastering the special technique, Bai Xiao's punch should be: 524kg!

The impact of such a heavy punch was equivalent to a small car crashing into something.

More powerful than swinging a five-kilogram hammer with all one's might!

“This is only the beginning; once you get proficient with the special burst technique, the increased effect from each punch you throw will gradually become stronger. Add to that the growth of your own physique and strength, the combined result, heh heh…”

Chen Liao looked at Bai Xiao's eager expression and chuckled lightly.

“Of course, using a special technique can strain the muscles and bones, and you can't burst too often in a short period; otherwise, it will leave some risks in your body…”

He cautioned and reminded.

Bai Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and said to Chen Liao.

“Master Chen, I won't be going back to the training class.”

“Let's start today's Boxing Manual Visualization right away.”

Five minutes later, the familiar secret room, the familiar darkness.

Bai Xiao sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, opened his eyes after practicing the Dao Jing Ceremony, and picked up the bottle next to him, swallowing the faintly blood-tasting blood salt immediately. A barely perceptible warmth seemed to be roasting his brain gently.

His senses gradually sharpened, his focus concentrated.

“Pure heart, activate!”

After all the preparations, Bai Xiao activated his powerful talent.

Suddenly, the glowing Boxing Manual patterns on the wall ahead filled his entire field of vision. Many random and messy lines began to combine in an orderly and bright manner, forming a shape that contains intrinsic logic.

Whoosh!

From the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual, a strong glowing figure jumped out.

His body slightly sank, his knees bent, pressing lower and lower, but at a certain moment, he suddenly flung his arms, with his legs springing him forward like a spring, displaying astonishing springiness and flexibility.

“Bird Jumping Style!”

Bai Xiao's mind shook as he was hit with the seventh boxing technique move.

In his mind, increasingly complete memories surged forth.

“Continue!”

His eyes narrowed, looking again at the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual ahead.

…

As time ticked by, the door to the secret room suddenly opened.

Bai Xiao walked out, contemplative.

He had succeeded with the seventh boxing technique move of the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual, but the eighth was still a bit off and would require further Visualization. Indeed, just as Instructor Liu Yang said, the deeper one went into the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual, the harder it became to grasp.

Even he, with extraordinary talent, needed extensive Visualization to proceed.

“I didn't fully visualize the eighth boxing technique move successfully, but during the Boxing Manual Visualization, I've obtained a special burst skill! No need for months of hard practice, all its essentials are already in my mind…”

A faint smile hung on Bai Xiao's face as he took a step forward.

Eager, he headed towards the room where he previously tested his punching power.

He planned to use the newly learned burst skill to see the effects again!
