A Top Scholar in Everything

The Third Prince was quite shocked.

This time, the Child of Reversal was resolved by Baiyu, who acted secretly and discreetly, obviously because there was something they couldn't disclose.

Therefore.

She even canceled the arrangement of publicly announcing the battle achievements and declared externally that this incident was resolved by the collective efforts of the Imperial Army.

She understood as well.

A senior of Baiyu's caliber probably didn't care about such superficial fame long ago.

The fact that he acted discreetly also indicates this point.

That's why Shangguan Zi didn't dare to mention these matters at all, fearing it might displease the senior.

Of course.

Baiyu wasn't aware of this yet.

If he knew, he might suggest Shangguan Zi arrange a title such as Imperial Honorary Hero for him.

"You're right.

From this perspective, it's indeed likely an issue with Eternal Sleep City.

Once I return this time.

I will personally go to Eternal Sleep City and begin investigating its recent conditions."

The Third Prince said coldly.

If Eternal Sleep City really underwent drastic changes, she must prepare early.

Now, the Emperor can only cling to life daily, even struggling to remain rational.

East Prosperity Imperial remains stable.

Because there's still a core group holding it together.

But.

If a new emperor cannot be quickly confirmed, the Empire will inevitably fall into chaos sooner or later.

Concerning this point, Shangguan Zi isn't sure what her father is thinking.

"We need to return to Haiqing County first, rebuilding Zenith City will take a long time, staying here is pointless.

Besides.

Baiyu, you haven't completed your studies yet, have you?

However, I received an invitation for you here, you can consider whether to go or not when the time comes."

The Third Prince said mysteriously.

Baiyu was somewhat curious but didn't ask further.

The situation between him and the Third Prince now is like sharing life and death, keeping secrets for each other, so the other party wouldn't harbor any ill intentions.

"Wait."

Just as the Legendary Ship prepared to turn around and head back.

Baiyu, standing on the deck, suddenly stopped the Third Prince.

"What's the matter?"

Shangguan Zi looked over with a puzzled expression.

Baiyu didn't answer immediately but stared at a certain spot beneath the ruins of Zenith City, where the Black Moon Mark beneath his skin grew hot and pulsed.

There's a Black Moon Apostle!

Moreover.

This time, after encountering the Black Moon Apostle, the mark's reaction was far more intense than many previous times.

"There's someone I know down there."

Baiyu said.

The Third Prince was slightly taken aback, an acquaintance?

She quickly halted the Purple Cloud and, together with Baiyu, took a small airship down to the ground.

The shadow of the Legendary Ship obscured the sky.

Yi Xian frowned slightly, feeling a surge of emotions upon seeing Baiyu.

"Teacher, I didn't expect to meet you in Zenith City."

Baiyu greeted, his gaze shifting to the girl she was holding, "Who is this?"

"The girl I adopted."

Yi Xian replied directly.

Baiyu could sense the Black Moon Power within the girl, like a rushing river about to burst forth.

The Black Moon Power was so intense.

Baiyu found it incredible that she could still be alive.

Moreover, she was living well, unaffected by the Black Moon, without any signs of distortion.

Their meeting left them with little to say.

The change in their identities.

Was quite drastic.

It left Yi Xian unsure of what Baiyu intended to do.

But the martial figure behind him was undoubtedly the Third Prince.

After a moment.

Baiyu broke the awkward silence, inviting, "Want to go to Haiqing County?"

Yi Xian remained silent.

The girl beside her tugged at her clothes.

"I see, since we haven't determined our next move yet, we'll graciously accept the invitation."

Yi Xian looked at the Moon Lady's reaction and made a decision.

...

Nationwide across East Prosperity Imperial, the reports of a great victory had spread, with news and social forums all discussing the event.

The flames of war ignited the citizens' enthusiasm.

It also allowed many ordinary people of East Prosperity Imperial to see the significance of their persistence.

Martial Artists and Extraordinary enjoy special rights.

Because they have sacrificed more.

In such situations, those who truly shed blood and laid down their lives first are the Martial Artists and Extraordinary, enabling them to curb the onslaught of foreign invaders.

Baiyu observed the fervent discussions among netizens on major forums and felt quite pleased.

Though he didn't play a role on the frontlines.

He rescued the Third Prince and also severed the connection with the Egg of Reversal in the Dream Realm, which can be considered a contribution, right?

However.

As he was browsing the forums, he suddenly came across a video.

The title read "Giant Shadow Slays the Offspring of Evil God, Suspected Mighty Being Involved…".

He clicked on it.

It turned out to be the scene during which the Child of Reversal was slain at Zenith City.

"No… was this creature that formidable when it hatched in the real world? I thought it was just all show!"

Baiyu recalled the scene where he slew the Child of Reversal.

Subsequently.

The video showed an even more sensational scene.

The giant shadow that appeared was clearly Anselin's true form; being a giant, she couldn't possibly be the size of a human woman.

Her appearance in the Giant King's Court was just an incarnation.

However.

What astonished Baiyu was the fact that the giant from the Dream Battlefield could manifest in the real world.

"Does this mean I actually stopped the Evil God's descent this time?"

Momentarily.

Only then did he truly comprehend, feeling somewhat absurd and laughable.

The mighty monster in the real world being so easily defeated in the Dream Realm.

No.

It must be due to the Holy Sword's power.

It didn't die unjustly.

...

In the following days, the Legendary Ship sailed smoothly toward Haiqing County.

Baiyu didn't seek out Yi Xian but focused on his research and studies.

The "Lament of the Giant King's Court" parchment was tucked inside his Rugged Diary, ready to be used whenever he desired to enter the Giant King's Court.

Baiyu refocused on the tasks of the Scholar Space.

For now, he decided not to consider the Nightmare Difficulty.

The Elite Difficulty involved publishing a paper and gaining some response, an essential step in becoming a scholar.

Initially.

He was about to complete this task.

However, the upheaval at Zenith City disrupted all his plans.

"With Yi Xian here, my academic status should still be that of a student at Celestial South Martial Arts University, allowing me to continue publishing papers."

Recalling this, Baiyu promptly sought out Yi Xian.

She was dressed in a white robe, sitting motionless on the open-air deck of the Legendary Ship, basking in the sun, her eyes slightly closed, somewhat resembling an elderly person in twilight.

The Moon Lady sat obediently beside her, engrossed in reading a book on Mechanical Science.

"Teacher."

Baiyu called out.

Yi Xian turned her head lazily, opening her eyes, "Still calling me Teacher? The school's broken, let's dispense with these formalities."
