Chapter 75: Heavy Harvest (3k)
Before him, the Bodyguard profession panel was vividly displayed.
[Your profession “Bodyguard,” experience 58]
[Your occupation skill “Protect Employer,” experience 65]
[Your occupation skill “Eliminate Danger,” experience 75]
[Your occupation skill “Eliminate Danger” has leveled up to LV.2!]
In just a mont of distraction, a skill had already advanced.
...
Bai Xiao’s gaze sharpened as he looked down again.
[Profession: Bodyguard LV.1 (79/100)]
[Skill 1: Protect Employer LV.1 (92/100)]
[Skill 2: Eliminate Danger LV.2 (1/200)]
(Extractable)
“Although Ye Ping didn’t make a move against Brother Dong, he had already secretly planned it and was about to act. A dozen fighters, aiming to cripple Brother Dong and Liao Fei and others, posed a potential huge threat. However, leading the masters of Fierce Bird Sect, I struck first, destroying their lair and eliminating the potential danger, indirectly protecting Brother Dong…”
Bai Xiao’s eyes gradually brightened.
He suddenly understood the true way to unlock the Bodyguard profession.
He saw the sixty to seventy points of bountiful experience and his eyes flickered slightly as he muttered softly, “Brother Dong… it seems…”
…
Bai Xiao took a deep breath and imdiately decided to begin extracting potential points.
[Profession: Fighter LV.3 (3/400)]

[Skill 2: Eliminate Danger LV.2 (1/200)]

“Dark Red!”
He muttered in his heart, instantly focusing all his attention.
The effect of the Dark Red Modifier then acted upon both professions.
A bright red light shone, and the panel blurred and twisted.
The next second, before his eyes:
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 5]
“Very good…”
Seeing this scene, Bai Xiao felt completely relieved.
The recently advanced level-three Fighter profession provided four potential points, and the recently advanced level-two “Eliminate Danger” skill provided one. He shifted his gaze.
[Skill 3: Jujutsu Novice (112/200)]
[Skill 4: Wrestling Novice (70/200)]
He could continue to add points.
But, Bai Xiao, for now, did not plan to spend potential points on these common combat skills. His current priority was to improve Interdiate Fierce Bird Fighting Skill.
[Skill 5: Interdiate Fierce Bird Fighting Skill (11/400)]
A total of eight potential points were needed.
Bai Xiao already had five points, a little more saving and it would suffice.
As for the other ordinary combat skills, he could train them slowly on his own.
If he suddenly obtained a large number of potential points, more than he could use,
he would then consider putting them into these ordinary combat skills.
Bai Xiao pulled back his thoughts and refocused his attention on the Fighter profession. With a slight concentration, he quickly found what he wanted to know.
Sure enough, the Fighter profession’s limit was LV.3!
Once he completely filled the level-three experience bar, the Fighter profession would undergo a career sublimation, and the profession strength he longed for would be obtainable. His eyes half closed, a glimr of anticipation flickered in his pupils.
Suddenly, the nearby elevator made a running sound, followed by a ding.
The tal doors opened, revealing two familiar figures.
Chen Liao in black and that tall man.
Both were wearing good-quality rubber-soled canvas shoes.
At this mont, stepping on the marble floor, their steps sounded sowhat deep and sticky.
Wherever they passed, vague bloody footprints were left behind.
“Good job,”
Chen Liao glanced at the open elevator door beside him.
Inside was the body of a young man lying half on the floor, all ten fingers broken with bone shards protruding. The white suit was bloodstained.
The fatal injury was at the neck, the spine had been broken, hanging down.
Ye Ping died horribly.
“Don’t let any Boxing Slave escape, even if they are only in the initial form.”
“Otherwise, they will eventually beco ferocious beasts that devour humans.”
Chen Liao, standing with hands behind his back, slightly hunched over, opened his mouth to say.
“Understood.”
Bai Xiao nodded, then after pondering for a mont said, “Master Chen, if we co across a Horror Bird later, could you let handle it.”
He felt that the Horror Bird was indeed a formidable opponent with significant threat, yet it posed no fatal danger to him at this mont.
It was perfect for providing experience for the Fighter profession.
“Is this young man so eager to kill?”
Chen Liao squinted at Bai Xiao, assessing him internally. He was reminded of his younger days, similarly always present when the Fierce Bird Sect encountered fights and battles, charging at the front line.
He couldn’t help but feel that this youth was sowhat like him.
“Alright!”
Chen Liao nodded and added a word of caution.
“Do not underestimate these Horror Bird Boxing Slaves. Just now, all we encountered were Grey Feathered Horror Birds, a type of Primary Boxing Slave. As they are increasingly controlled and infected by the combat mode, they beco less human-like, their appearance turns more terrifying, and their strength increases. Grey Feather, Black Feather, and the ultimate Blood Feather, are completely different levels of combat strength…”
Chen Liao looked at Bai Xiao, about to continue when.
Suddenly, a voice ca from the black earpiece.
“Chen Liao, co quickly to area A on floor fourteen! We’ve got sothing!”
Chen Liao’s expression changed, and he suddenly called for two people to follow him.
Three silhouettes dashed towards the corridor on the side of the hall.
Area A, near the Chairman’s office.
Bai Xiao and the other two rushed over, not yet managing to stop.
Bang!
On the side, a white wall suddenly exploded, with dust and debris bursting out instantly, a cloud of white smoke expanding into the corridor. Two figures burst from the hole in the wall, their arms and legs furiously battling at high speed.
They whipped up gusts of wind, bringing with them a sharp howling noise.
Bang bang bang bang…
Each clash scattered the mist in rippling waves.
Behind Chen Liao, Bai Xiao could vaguely see it.
One was a tall elder in grey combat attire, and the other, a mysterious figure in a broad black robe. As the robe fluttered, he could see a pair of crimson eyes that seed to dart fiery, fleeting shadows.
The man’s body reeked of blood, which was spraying out with a puffing sound.
“Whoosh!”
Chen Liao disappeared from the spot, his entire black figure joining the battlefield instantly. Because of the swirling white wall dust, Bai Xiao couldn’t see the specifics of the combat, but he knew that Chen Liao and Wen Yuan together firmly suppressed the black-robed man, forcing him to keep retreating.
Finally, with a fierce crash, they burst through a wall and leapt down towards the staircase of the fourteenth floor.
Two silhouettes followed close behind, their forms leaping agilely like antelopes.
“Thud thud thud thud…”
The sounds in the stairway grew fainter and fainter, slowly echoing.
The corridor beca quiet.
Only then did Bai Xiao hear, from not far from the chairman’s office, a series of sounds from an ongoing fight. He abruptly turned around, and the tall man next to him also turned his head at that mont. The two exchanged glances and nodded.
Both charged out, rushing towards the office.
During the run, the two introduced themselves.
Bai Xiao finally learned the tall man’s na: Li Kaiwu.
According to seniority, he should call him Senior Brother Li.
In the chairman’s office, the spacious, expensive door had been blasted open, leaving only the broken door panel dangling. The space inside and outside was connected, where nearly ten Horror Birds clad in various colored garnts were fighting fiercely. Along with Wen Yuan’s group of four from the Fierce Bird Sect, they continuously clashed with the Horror Birds.
It seed, even if Li Kaiwu and Bai Xiao didn’t co over to help, these Boxing Slaves would’ve been quickly disposed of. Moreover, most were just Grey Feathered Horror Birds, only one Black Feather was dressed in dark blue attire.
Bai Xiao charged over, choosing an opponent.
Li Kaiwu, anwhile, plunged into the crowd, heading straight for the Black Feathered Horror Bird.
A mont later, the battle was over.
Bai Xiao loosened his clenched fists, blood dripping from his knuckles.
He took a deep breath, eyeing the experience information displayed in front of him.
[Your profession ‘Fighter’ experience 26!]
Not a bad gain, Bai Xiao thought after enduring a tough battle.
During the recent fight, another wound had been added to his body, located at the lower abdon. Due to insufficient dodging, it was sliced by a Horror Bird’s claw, with blood continued to flow. However, fortunately, the wound wasn’t too deep and was still within an acceptable range. Bai Xiao stood quietly, looking ahead at the corridor.
The ground was strewn with corpses, fresh red blood splattered on the walls.
The air filled with the sll of blood, was sowhat intolerable.
“Truly the Fierce Bird Sect, all ferocious fighters…”
He saw that nearly ten Horror Birds had all fallen. The only one still able to move was the Black Feathered Horror Bird pinned under Senior Brother Li’s foot.
Thud!
The sturdy foot lifted, then crashed down powerfully.
Crack!
The neck of the Black Feathered Horror Bird was directly crushed, dead on the spot.
Afterwards, it rapidly transford into a human-shaped corpse.
A middle-aged man with black hair like steel pins, stern-faced. It was indeed Ye Xiong, the director of the Ye Group and Ye Ping’s father.
Bai Xiao looked at that face and felt it sowhat resembled Ye Ping.
Combining the fact this was the chairman’s office, he roughly guessed it.
“Ye Ping’s dad is also dead…”
Bai Xiao had just withdrawn his gaze when suddenly, another series of notifications appeared in front of him.
[Your profession ‘Bodyguard’, experience 23]
[Your skill ‘Protect Employer’ experience 15]
[Your skill ‘Eliminate Danger’ experience 18]
…
[Your profession ‘Bodyguard’ has advanced to LV.2!]
[Your skill ‘Protect Employer’ has advanced to LV.2!]
His eyes glead as he looked further down.
[Profession: Bodyguard LV.2 (2/200)]
(Extractable)
[Skill 1: Protect Employer LV.2 (7/200)]
(Extractable)
[Skill 2: Eliminate Danger LV.2 (19/200)]
Indeed, a bountiful day!
This ti, Bai Xiao really understood the benefits of eradicating the roots! Ye Ping was the main scher, so the backer providing manpower and resources, Ye Xiong, was an accomplice. By killing both father and son, Bai Xiao allowed his Bodyguard profession, whether it be the profession level or skill level, to advance by two levels each.
“Brother Dong really is… my lucky charm…”
He sighed, focusing his attention on the profession panel.
“Dark Red Modifier, extract!”
Instantly, the Bodyguard profession beca slightly blurred.
A few blinks later, a dark red halo rapidly erged.
Another three Potential Points on hand.
[Dark Red Modifier]
[Potential Points: 8]
