005 Enviable Career Enhancement

Bai Xiao was momentarily startled, but with a bit of concentration, he understood clearly.

The personal character panel was divided into main profession and secondary professions.

There could be countless secondary professions, but there could only be five main professions.

Compared to secondary professions, main professions had greater potential.

This was manifested in two aspects.

Career Sublimation and Career Enhancement.

The first one, Career Sublimation.

Take the deliveryman for example, if it's a secondary profession of deliveryman, then you can only level up, from Deliveryman LV.1 to LV.10. But if it's a main profession, then you can be promoted to a manager or president afterward.

The second, Career Enhancement.

Every Career Sublimation of a main profession would bring about a Career Enhancement. Career Enhancement is a number of enhancement options for various characteristics of the profession.

Each choice would lead the main profession down different paths of development.

Bai Xiao thought for a moment and quickly made his decision.

[Deliveryman] confirmed as secondary profession.

[Fighter] confirmed as main profession.

As soon as the [Fighter] profession was activated, it brought Bai Xiao a talent that was far beyond what [Deliveryman] could compare to. Moreover, just the effect of the talent "Pure Heart State" was enough to confirm [Fighter] as his main profession. Absolutely useful for improving learning efficiency!

[Character Panel]

[Character: Bai Xiao]

[Age: 24 years old]

[Status: Normal]

[Main Profession: Fighter]

[Secondary Profession: Deliveryman]

After completing all this, Bai Xiao came back to his senses.

Around him, numerous students were still practicing Sandboxing movements meticulously.

In the distance, Guo Hao swiftly executed an entire set of basic Fist Skills.

This elicited a slight nod from Coach Zhang Hongtao nearby.

"There's still some time, let's try out the effects of 'Pure Heart State.'

Bai Xiao thought to himself.

He stared straight ahead with his eyes, instantly using the profession talent.

Whir!

It seemed as if there was the sound of a bee flapping its wings at a high speed, passing by his ears.

His mind went blank, and he felt as though he had been cleansed thoroughly with ice water.

Bai Xiao opened his eyes, and a cold, indifferent color appeared.

In the entire environment, various complex pieces of information—whether it be visual, auditory, or olfactory—all unnecessary parts were being stripped away and excluded.

Only the purest, most core, and most useful parts remained.

Whoosh!

Bai Xiao swiftly moved sideways, his legs spread apart, slightly turned inward, and he suddenly clenched his fists, assuming a relatively standard combat stance. It looked to be at least 60 to 70 percent as good as Coach Zhang Hongtao's level. Snap, Bai Xiao returned to a relaxed standing state, his limbs once again swiftly expanded into a combat stance.

This time, it was even more accurate, probably reaching around 70 to 80 percent.

In the corner of the training hall, on the soft mats,

Bai Xiao made a swift sound as he once again assumed a combat stance.

The third time, he almost reached about 90 percent of the standard movement!

After that, every time Bai Xiao assumed a position, he was able to reach over 90 percent of the standard. Even, he was getting closer and closer to the perfect state.

Beyond combat stances, various Fist Skills, leg techniques, and stepping techniques also appeared.

Whoosh, whoosh, swish, his meticulous movements and expressionless face, along with virtually zero emotional fluctuation, made one wonder if Bai Xiao was a machine running on a program. The engine in his chest coldly turned.

"This..."

In the distance, Coach Zhang Hongtao, who was drinking tea, inadvertently swept his gaze over the entire training hall and immediately noticed Bai Xiao in the corner. His attention was drawn at once, could this student's movements be so standardized?

Zhang Hongtao glanced at Bai Xiao, then at Guo Hao beside him.

Bai Xiao's Sandboxing movements were significantly more standardized than those of Guo Hao.

"Isn't this the student I mentioned last time who is quite hardworking but with average talent?" Zhang Hongtao recognized Bai Xiao, "Has he had a breakthrough?"

He didn't make a sound, just quietly observed.

In the corner where Bai Xiao was, some other trainees also noticed something unusual and turned to look. They felt that his movements were smooth and powerful.

They almost resembled the ones demonstrated by the coach before.

After a while, Bai Xiao suddenly snapped out of the Pure Heart State.

His vision blurred, he even felt a bit dizzy.

[The talent "Pure Heart State" duration is related to will]

Bai Xiao took a few deep breaths, feeling his body drenched in sweat.

But the changes on his career panel were like a cool breeze to his heart and mind.

[Your skill "Sandboxing" has gained +8 experience!]

[Your main profession "Fighter" has gained +1 experience!]

The "Pure Heart State" talent really is useful!

"Gather up!"

Suddenly, Coach Zhang's voice echoed in the center of the hall.

After a short speech.

"That's all for today's lessons, you are dismissed."

Instantly, the thirty-something students began to head towards the changing rooms.

Bai Xiao, being at the back of the room, was one of the last to leave.

Just as he took a step forward, passing by Coach Zhang.

Zhang Hongtao suddenly extended a hand, patting his shoulder.

He whispered, "Keep it up."

Five minutes later, Bai Xiao stood at the entrance of the White Bird Martial Arts Hall, his bag slung over his shoulder.

He felt an inexplicable sense of ease, his face relaxed and content.

Soon, Bai Xiao found himself seated on the back of the returning blue bus.

With his bag on his lap and the window half open, gusts of wind cooled his cheeks, which were still warm from the workout, bringing waves of refreshment.

Looking outside, the bus happened to pass by a lush park.

Inside, there were elderly people strolling leisurely and parents with their children.

Walking under the green shade of trees, with dappled sunlight sweeping over, felt quite pleasant.

Bai Xiao rested his elbow on the window ledge, leisurely taking in the scene.

Suddenly, his view blurred slightly.

[Below is the enhancement foreboding for the main profession of Fighter]

「Enhancement 1: Talent Evolution (The "Pure Heart State" talent will evolve with each level up, its effects gently and gradually strengthening)」

「Enhancement 2: Secondary Development (You will gain a physique and skeleton more suitable for fighting, becoming stronger, more agile, and more charismatic)」

「Enhancement 3: Extra Option (The next time you enhance your career, all enhancement options will permanently increase by one, allowing for six choices)」

「Enhancement 4: Sandboxing Expert (Experience required for Sandboxing reduced by half)」

「Enhancement 5: Superhuman Physique (Gain five points to Physique immediately)」

"Is this to whet my appetite?"

"I can only look, not choose."

Bai Xiao was quite envious, but what appeared was merely a foreboding.

He would be able to choose one enhancement only after he had elevated the Fighter profession. At a glance, they were all desirable, Bai Xiao wanted them all.

"It seems I need to double my efforts to advance the main profession of Fighter…"

The bus sped along, passing through city streets until it reached Beihai Road.

Bai Xiao returned to his rented room, ready to take a shower.

But then, a call from his younger brother Bai Tang came through.

"Hello? Brother."

The voice from the other end was somewhat immature, clear, and pleasant.

"What's up?"

Bai Xiao, bare-chested, held the phone in his right hand.

Bai Tang replied, "My advisor asked if I want to join a really good research project, I'm currently hesitating, and I don't know if I should go."

"What kind of research project?"

"It's mechanical, cutting-edge technology, other details are confidential."

"Mechanical, isn't that good? Don't you like that stuff the most? If you ask me, having the chance to do what you love is rare."

"This is... a bit different..."

The two brothers talked over the phone, and finally, Bai Tang gave some noncommittal replies.

Obviously, Bai Xiao as the older brother wasn't able to solve his dilemma.

In his rented room, Bai Xiao shook his head and turned to enter the bathroom.

He needed to shower and then go out to deliver food to grind some career experience.

Bai Xiao wanted to give it a try.

The "Pure Heart State" talent's effect on the other professions.
