C382 The Mystery of the Box

"The last step, how exactly did you break through? You can only rely on yourself to comprehend it. No one can help you with this. As for who did it... "The System fell silent again. It seemed like it was trying to organize its language, preparing for a long time. The System looked at Hao Chuan and said, "It was the box that did it. Or rather, it was from the box. It saved your life at the critical moment."1

"The box?!" Hao Chuan suddenly remembered the master of the Evil Monarch, the existence that was closest to the sky. He gave him a box that he couldn't open no matter how hard he tried. He also said that when the box needed to be opened, he would open it himself. When Hao Chuan heard that, he didn't think much of it. After all, this statement was too mysterious. Although so many strange things had happened to him, Hao Chuan still didn't believe in things like ghosts.

He also looked carefully at the box. It was indeed just a box, not something that had turned into a spirit. How could it be opened by itself?

However, after hearing what the System said to him, Hao Chuan's unwavering materialism had been shaken. He looked at the system, swallowed his saliva, and could not help but ask: "How did the box open by itself? Could it be that there are things in this world that turn into demons and ghosts?"

Under Hao Chuan's foolish question, the system finally revealed its true nature. It rolled its eyes at Hao Chuan and said disdainfully, "Nonsense. There were no such ridiculous things as ghosts and elves in this world. The reason why the box was opened by itself was because... Or rather, the seed was inside the box. The box itself was the shell of some kind of magical seed. When it encountered some special stimulation, the seeds naturally have to break out of the cocoon, so I explain... You should be able to understand what I mean, right?"

Seeing Hao Chuan's dumbfounded expression, the System could only helplessly sigh. He continued, "Next, there is an additional fee. 20 points, do you want to listen?! Forget it. I'll just deduct your points." After saying that, the System waved its hand. Then it began to explain to Hao Chuan.

Although Hao Chuan was somewhat dissatisfied with the system's actions, after listening to the system's description, he suddenly felt that these 20 points were worth it.

The system told him some secrets about the ancient martial arts world. In the past, when he was able to cultivate inner energy, there was a magical fruit. It was called Bodhi Fruit. It was hard to find one in a thousand years. When one was born, they would be able to obtain the Bodhi Fruit. And those who had successfully opened the Bodhi Fruit would definitely become the overlord of the ancient martial arts world. And the box that the master of the Evil Heaven and Earth Fiend had given to Hao Chuan... It was the Bodhi Fruit that was hard to find in a thousand years!

According to the system, this kind of fruit... The conditions to grow it were extremely harsh. The environment, climate, topography, etc. Were extremely harsh. It could be said to be indispensable. However, even the extremely knowledgeable system... He only had a rough understanding of the effects of this Bodhi Fruit. The system also couldn't explain it clearly, and finally concluded with one sentence: The main point was that the effects of this fruit were pretty awesome.

After listening to the system's explanation, Hao Chuan, who was full of worries, had no other questions. He left the system and searched his body. The box seemed to have disappeared into thin air, and there wasn't even any residue left.

He had a new question in his heart. Since the effect of this Bodhi Fruit was so heaven defying, why would the man closest to heaven give him the Bodhi Fruit for no reason?

No matter what, this man had saved his life indirectly, and had even given him a great fortune. In Hao Chuan's heart, he was filled with gratitude towards this tall and thin man.

Putting aside his worries, Hao Chuan devoted himself to his body. He wanted to find the opportunity that the system had mentioned, but after two hours of struggling, he could not figure out what was going on.

Hao Chuan sighed and could only give up. He thought that perhaps it was because the time was not right yet. He did not care about it anymore. He did not immediately walk out of the bedroom. Instead, he spent another hour. He familiarized himself with his body after the huge change. Now... Hao Chuan no longer had that unattainable feeling of powerlessness in his heart towards that mysterious man in black.

He was even filled with confidence as he thought to himself, "I am the super lucky one in the past thousand years. I have even successfully opened the Bodhi Fruit that is hard to come by in a thousand years. I'm afraid I won't be able to take it down. You are just a rat hiding in the shadows? "

Outside the bedroom, Zeng Cheng and the other two were anxiously waiting. When they saw Hao Chuan walking out with full spirit, they were extremely happy. Hao Chuan was fine. To Zeng Cheng, this was great news.

The second day of the top eight advancement competition seemed to be the time for the showdown between the strong, but in fact, there was nothing worth watching. In the duel between the overlord and Zeng Cheng, the overlord displayed his dominance. He fought with Zeng Cheng head on, even if he had inner energy in his body. Zeng Cheng could not withstand the seemingly weak overlord and was sent flying.

As for the opponent of the black-clothed man, Ripper, after seeing the combat strength of the black-clothed man, Ripper decisively admitted defeat. He did not even have the courage to fight and directly admitted defeat.

As expected, the old man had advanced to the top four. The only thing left was the match between Hao Chuan and the madman.

When the madman saw Hao Chuan's body yesterday, it seemed like something bad had happened to him. He did have some other thoughts in his mind, but... Today, after seeing Hao Chuan appear in the ring full of energy, although the madman wanted to go on stage and fight, however, after considering the real relationship between Zeng Cheng and Hao Chuan, and the reason why Zeng Cheng decided to participate in this year's Black Martial Competition competition, although the madman had stepped onto the stage, he didn't fight Hao Chuan. Instead, he went on stage and cast.

With this, eight to four people entered the stage, and it ended under this kind of atmosphere where the thunder was loud and the rain was small.

Next was the drawing of lots for the fourth to second place advancement competition. For the audience present, it was only at this moment that the real excitement began. Because of the performance of the remaining four contestants... It was very interesting, in their opinion... In the final match, Hao Chuan and the old man should not have a chance anymore. Everyone was looking forward to the final battle between the mysterious man in black and the overlord.

The organizer obviously knew that the audience wanted to watch the competition between the strong and the strong. They did not randomly draw lots for this round. After the result was out, almost everyone who wanted to watch the show was very satisfied. Hao Chuan would fight the overlord, and the man in black would fight the old man.

The four to two matches in the afternoon were held as scheduled.

However, for the audience below the stage, there was basically no suspense in these two advancement matches. Because they had already determined that the final victor would definitely be decided between the black-clothed man and the overlord.
