Fighting Specialization is the fastest and easiest to improve because fist and foot attacks, dodging, etc., are all considered part of fighting.

Bai Pu's Fighting Specialization was already close to Advanced Level 3 during the Three Kingdoms: Chibi scene, and this intensive training was the first to break through.

As Bai Pu cultivated other specialties and skill proficiency, the proficiency in Fighting Specialization gradually increased, reaching over 30% of Level 3 proficiency by the time he finished training.

The leap from Level 3 to Level 4 is significant, with a sharp increase in required proficiency. If it weren't for the insights provided by a serendipitous encounter with the Celestial Dragon Fragment, he might not have reached even 30% proficiency.

As for combat skills, only Jump Slash advanced to Level 3.

It's not that he favored Jump Slash the most, but the proficiency requirements for improving the other two Two-star Skills were too high, twice that of Jump Slash! Moreover, the Blood Fighting Qi consumption was higher than that of Jump Slash, making the combined training difficulty more than twice as hard.

When Jump Slash reached Level 3, the proficiency for Unstable Shield and Helical Throw was only around 40% at Level 2.

When Advanced Fighting reached Level 3, Bai Pu received a notification from the Spirit Realm Will.

[Your Fighting Specialization has advanced to Level 3.]

[Your title ability: Limit Breaker activated, Fighting Specialization Level +1, automatically advancing to Level 4.]

[You have acquired the following special effects; please complete your selection within one minute. If you exceed the time limit, one special effect will be chosen randomly.]

[A. Piercing Fist: Increase the speed of your light attacks with fists and feet by 10. (Equivalent to the speed change brought by an additional 10 points of Agility, the same applies below)]

[B. Charge: Increase impact damage from your elbows, shoulders, knees, etc., by 10.]

[C. Lightness: Increase your Movement Speed by 5.]

[D. Strong Power: Increase Power check by 10 during power contests.]

[E. Agile: Increase your Dodge Value by 10.]

[F. Fury Fist: Increase your Critical Strike Value by 5.]

Bai Pu thought for a moment and chose D: Strong Power.

Of course, C: Lightness and F: Fury Fist were also good, but the addition of only 5 points to Movement Speed or Critical Strike Value is naturally not as attractive as 10 points in Power checking value.

Bai Pu already had the Passive Heavy Armor Mastery, and now with an additional 10 points in Power check, it meant that when facing those with high Power values, it would be more difficult for the opposition to knock him back or launch him.

These 10 points in Power bonus can be used not only for defense but are invaluable for offensive effects!

Bai Pu's current Power value was already 29 points; with the bonus of 10 points, his attacks would have a formidable impact force equivalent to 39 points of Power. What concept is that?

A Level 3 power-type leader generally doesn't exceed 40 points in Power Attributes!

After choosing the Strong Power effect, Bai Pu experienced a moment of sudden clarity.

He gained deeper insights into force application, understanding how to launch a more powerful attack from a better angle or how to dissipate force when subjected to a strong attack, adding another layer to his knowledge.

In terms of combat skills, Jump Slash, as a One-star Skill, had somewhat paltry special effects after the Limit Breaker advanced it to Level 4.

Some special effect options enhanced Jump Slash's additional damage, but the boost was minimal, only 10%. As a One-star Skill, Jump Slash's damage was not high to begin with!

Other options increased Jump Height, originally up to a maximum of 3 meters, and enhanced it to approximately 4 meters high.

Ultimately, Bai Pu chose a feature that enhanced the maximum range of Jump Slash by 50% from several options. Initially the Jump Slash distance was 10 meters, now it has increased to 15 meters, which is quite an improvement.

The goals of intensive training were achieved, and it was time to enter the Spirit Realm.

Bai Pu went back to his room to take a good nap, replenishing his Spirit. Then he laid out the two Spirit Realm Tickets: the anchor objects for the Heart Demon World and Adventure King World, in front of him.

The anchor object for the Heart Demon: Oath world was quite unique—a tattered scabbard.

It seemed ordinary, but when Bai Pu's fingers brushed over the scabbard, he could feel a buzzing vibration. A cold blade light appeared before his eyes, and he heard the wounded cries of demons in his ears!

The anchor object for the Adventure King: Departure world was a segment of a wooden ship wheel covered with green algae. It was moist overall, and water droplets gently rolled on its surface, as if freshly salvaged from the deep sea. Touching it, he could faintly hear the roaring sounds of sea tides.

Beep beep.

Bai Pu's personal information terminal received a message.

[Li Ling: It's confirmed. The Superstar Alliance recently mobilized a large number of Low-level Awakened, preparing to enter the Heart Demon World and Adventure King World with you in the same batch. There's a smaller number in the Heart Demon World and more in the Adventure King World.]

Entering in the same batch as Bai Pu wasn't difficult, as many Awakened possess abilities for remote divinations and such.

Even if Bai Pu hides where no one knows, others can still gaze into whether he remains in the real world—if Bai Pu isn't in the real world, he's certainly in the Spirit Realm.

However, specifically which Spirit Realm Plane he entered is not so easily discernible.

[Bai Pu: What's the situation at the two related Boundary Lands, the Demon Abyss and Bubble Islands?]

[Li Ling: The Bubble Islands are heavily guarded, with strict screening for every Awakened applying to enter. The Demon Abyss, however, has shown no activity.]

[Bai Pu: I understand.]

Bai Pu didn't mention which Spirit Realm Plane he planned to visit, nor did Li Ling ask.

It seemed there was an unspoken understanding between them.

Bai Pu had an innate sense of caution and would not entrust his back to anyone.

Li Ling, on the other hand, sensed Bai Pu's wary heart towards the world and cautiously kept a respectable distance from him, not daring to inquire further.

Bai Pu put away the anchor object for the Adventure King: Departure world, that segment of the ship wheel, and picked up the tattered scabbard!

"The Superstar Alliance moved most of their personnel to the Adventure King's world and sealed off the related Boundary Land Bubble Islands. Strictly so.

"Such a high-profile move, as if fearing I wouldn't recognize the importance of the Adventure King World... it's practically beating drums to inform me that the Primordial Heart Tissue is hidden in the Bubble Islands.

"In truth, it's not! Such deliberate actions give me over an 80% certainty that the Primordial Heart Tissue is hidden in the Demon Abyss, at the Boundary Land belonging to the Heart Demon World!"

Bai Pu calculated silently; fewer people went to the Heart Demon: Oath world, but they are probably the elites among the Superstar Alliance's low-level Awakened! The lack of activity at the Demon Abyss Boundary Land... implies a relaxed exterior with tightened insides.

However, Bai Pu's target was the Primordial Heart Tissue. He intended to enter the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath, to find a path to infiltrate the Boundary Land: Demon Abyss!

Spirit Realm Will prompt message:

[Would you like to use the D-level anchor object: Tattered Scabbard to enter the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath? This anchor object will expire in 72 days.]

"Yes!"

With Bai Pu's confirmation, the tattered scabbard emitted intense light, the white light instantly engulfing Bai Pu's entire body!

A sensation of weightlessness came, followed by the Spirit Realm Will's prompt message:

[Preparing to enter the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath.]

[Queuing, please wait...]

Unlike the first Blood and Flesh Plague: Origin world, Bai Pu now experienced a queuing process.

This is because his strength was evaluated by the Spirit Realm Will as "relatively strong"—at least among the Awakened matched this time, he was relatively strong.

Therefore, Bai Pu needed to wait while the weaker Awakened in this batch, such as Level 1 and Level 2 Awakened, entered first.

After the Awakened in this batch entered, others could no longer join. To enter, they'd have to be re-matched and wait for the next batch. Typically, they wouldn't encounter the Awakened from this batch.

For Bai Pu, this was advantageous; he only needed to deal with the Awakened matched in this batch and didn't have to worry about continuous reinforcements from the hostile Superstar Alliance.

The time flow here was different from that of the Spirit Realm. Waiting here for a few seconds could mean several days had passed in the Plane World of Heart Demon: Oath.

The Spirit Realm Will used the time flow difference to separate Awakened entries into different batches.

Soon, the white light gradually faded, familiar gravity returned, and Bai Pu's feet stood on solid ground.
