Holy Fist!-Chapter 62 - : 062 Tough Skin Level, Boxing Slave

Chapter 62: 062 Tough Skin Level, Boxing Slave

“Now, if you pitted me against that freak, I wonder who would take more hits?” Bai Xiao twisted his neck and began to wipe his body with a towel…

Afterward, he changed into the black training uniform of the training base.

He opened the door.

Liu Yang was at the doorway, turning his head to look over.

“You soaked in there for so long, I thought you passed out,” he said.

“How are you feeling?”

...

Bai Xiao slowly walked out of the chamber, taking a breath of fresh air.

“Pretty good,” he said.

“The medicinal bath is indeed much more effective than the ointment.”

Chen Liao looked over from the aisle in the warehouse.

He glanced at Bai Xiao, his gaze gradually sharpening.

“Bai Xiao, come here and let me take a look at you,” he said.

For Bai Xiao, there was no reason not to comply. Even if Chen Liao hadn’t mentioned it, he would have intentionally exposed his training progress to strengthen his position. The techniques displayed by the Fierce Bird Sect alone were enough to make him covetous.

Chen Liao examined Bai Xiao closely and slowly extended his hand.

He lightly pinched the skin of Bai Xiao’s lifted arm.

“Tough Skin Level…” he remarked with a sigh and a smile, shaking his head.

Next to him, Liu Yang tried to keep a composed facade but was struggling to maintain it.

His face revealed an expression of someone trying to suppress laughter, finding it difficult to hold back.

Dammit, Bai Xiao, just how much hidden talent do you have left to reveal? Human skin, tough skin, hard skin—those are the three stages of healing through medicinal baths during the Fierce Bird fighting technique training. Ordinary students might still struggle to break through to the Tough Skin Level even after the majority of the elite class has passed.

Yet Bai Xiao had already reached that level after just one medicinal bath.

So, just how good was the effect of that medicinal bath?

You’re a natural drug-resistant freak, aren’t you?

Although Liu Yang was an instructor for the elite class, he was not very old and had been influenced by internet culture, so he was pretty good at making snide remarks.

Next to the medicinal bath chamber in the hallway of the warehouse.

It was just Bai Xiao, Liu Yang, and Chen Liao standing there.

Therefore, Bai Xiao tentatively stated his purpose for the day.

…

“You’re saying you took down a Horror Bird by yourself?” Chen Liao narrowed his eyes, his look becoming deep and serious.

“So that freak is called a Horror Bird?” Bai Xiao said calmly, stating the fact.

“If there was no situation of him coming back to life, then I suppose I killed him. I hit him in the back of the head about twenty or thirty times, all with full force…” Bai Xiao said with an even tone.

“That’s quite ruthless.”

Liu Yang looked at the expressionless Bai Xiao and thought to himself.

Indeed, for an elite class student to manage to kill a Horror Bird in a sudden encounter, it took enough ruthlessness and ferocity.

As Chen Liao watched Bai Xiao, for some reason, the more he watched, the more invigorated he felt, the more pleasing to the eye Bai Xiao became. His withered heart felt as if it were an old tree blooming anew in spring. To be honest, he was somewhat tempted to accept a disciple, feeling this impulse for the first time.

An exceptionally outstanding talent, a calm and cool demeanor, what was even more valuable was his ruthlessness in striking down an assailant in an unexpected attack.

He was absolutely a perfect candidate for a disciple.

“Let’s watch and see… Let’s watch and see,” Chen Liao thought to himself, then spoke to Bai Xiao after a moment.

“Regarding this matter of yours, I will report it to the school,” he said.

“No need to worry, as long as the person wasn’t killed by you. Even if the police somehow trace it back to you, it won’t matter. The Fierce Bird Sect will clean things up for you…”

His words paused for a moment, “As for what the Horror Bird truly is, which you want to know, I can tell you. However, if the news leaks from you, the Fierce Bird Sect won’t show any mercy…”

Chen Liao’s statement was oppressive, its meaning clear without being spoken.

What followed was important classified information, those who leaked it would not have a good end.

“I understand.”

Bai Xiao had never thought of leaking the information, and naturally agreed by nodding.

“Mm.”

Chen Liao’s gaze quietly rested on Bai Xiao.

He slowly uttered three words from his mouth, “Killing Ghost!”

Killing Ghost, a murderous evil ghost!

Just hearing the name invoked an inexplicable sense of horror.

Bai Xiao’s pupils slightly contracted, “Killing Ghost?”

“Is it the Horror Bird I killed yesterday?”

“No.” Chen Liao shook his head, “The Horror Bird is just the Horror Bird, not the Killing Ghost. The Horror Bird is a type of Boxing Slave. The Killing Ghost is a truly threatening force that manipulates Boxing Slaves to roam in the shadows…”

“And now, there is a Killing Ghost force called Horror Bird that seems to have come to Huai Shui City a few months ago. And they have set their sights on us and several other fighting schools. It’s unclear what their ultimate goal is…”

Chen Liao’s eyes were profound, tinged with a faint worry.

“Boxing Slave?”

Bai Xiao understood everything else, but this term was not clear to him.

“Just as the name suggests, slaves to the fist skill.”

“Slaves controlled by fist skills, like mindless instinctive beasts…”

Chen Liao explained softly, “Of course, even if they’re just beasts, they are deadly to ordinary people. Even most humans of the outer world might not be able to defeat them. Only those Boxing Kings who stand at the peak of ordinary people could possibly defeat them with their bare hands. Your ability to kill a Horror Bird already shows that your strength is approaching the peak of mortals…”

“Nowadays, it’s a technological society; guns, grenades, tanks—ordinary people could also kill a Horror Bird with these. However, ordinary people don’t have access to these means, nor would they carry weapons with them all the time…”

“So that’s why there have been so many serial disappearances recently…”

“I see.”

Finally resolving his confusion, Bai Xiao received many vital pieces of hidden information from Chen Liao. But Bai Xiao could still feel Chen Liao seemed to be deliberately concealing part of the story. What is the Killing Ghost? If the Horror Bird is a Boxing Slave, does that imply the Killing Ghost uses fist skills to control it?

The Killing Ghost practices some sort of bizarre fist skill!?

Bai Xiao wanted to inquire further, but Chen Liao did not answer.

Left with no choice, he continued with the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual Visualization.

This time, perhaps because Bai Xiao had advanced his Fierce Bird Fighting Skill to the intermediate level, his comprehension of the fighting technique flowed smoothly. Until he exhausted the time of pure heart, Bai Xiao actually comprehended two more movements.

Six fist skill movements, plus one punch from the seventh fist skill movement.

He seemed to have reached the level that Liu Yang called genius.

Once he fully comprehends the seventh movement, would he be considered a so-called monster?

The eldest disciple of the Fierce Bird Sect, the man Bai Xiao once saw in the instructional video posted by Coach Zhang Hongtao. This individual had held the Visualization Boxing Manual record for thirty years, with a total of ten fist skill movements.

Bai Xiao’s progress was staggering now.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Liu Yang had an eager hope that Bai Xiao might surpass the record of ten fist skill movements. The further one got in the Fierce Bird Boxing Manual, the more difficult it became, increasing almost exponentially, but Bai Xiao’s recent performance still gave him confidence.

“My disciple will definitely sweep through all the elite classes at White Bird Martial Arts Hall in this session… without any doubt, the first!”

“And I will become the number one instructor!”

Liu Yang thought proudly to himself.

Bai Xiao becoming first meant earning rewards from the Fierce Bird Sect, a win-win!

Time flew by, and it was one o’clock in the afternoon.

Just as Liu Yang had said.

The entire White Bird Training Base’s elite class students all gathered and walked out, boarded the several buses parked at the door, and set off immediately.

Heading towards the Martial Arts Association in Huai Shui City to obtain their fighting certificates!
