Whoosh...
A powerful and muscular body stepped out of the wooden barrel.
Half an hour later.
Fierce Bird Sect Headquarters, dojo, Martial Arts Hall.
Rumbling...
The breathing resonated like thunder, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
A figure seated in a lotus position suddenly opened his eyes.
He sprang up, standing firmly on his feet.
Hiss!
Following a fierce and massive inhalation, Bai Xiao's body leaned slightly backward, his spine forming a curved yet elastic arc, like a bowstring. His robust chest swelled, his ribs stretching out like the spokes of a giant umbrella.
Hints of a hard iron-gray color suddenly appeared along the contours of his muscles.
Thump thump thump!
His fists swung through the air, instantly creating three huge afterimages.
The next second.
The three wooden mannequins in front of Bai Xiao burst apart.
They became a flurry of fan-shaped yellow wood chips violently spraying backward.
A gust of fist wind howled forth.
