A Top Scholar in Everything

The Giant King's Court still looked the same as before, resplendent and filled with luxury and grandeur.

Anselin stood in the palace.

She barely needed sleep or food.

The special form of life combined with the Giant's unique life force created such an anomaly.

"Anselin, how can we go to other places in the Dream Realm?"

Baiyu asked while standing in the court.

"The Dream Realm is a place where the Divine Spirits reside.

Many rules here cannot be explained by the context of the real world.

And there are no ordinary boundaries here either.

Essentially, the Dream Realm consists of one isolated territory after another.

Every territory.

Has its unique features.

In these territories, you might experience environments completely different from reality, such as ice being scorching hot, fire being icy cold.

To enter other places in the Dream Realm, special rituals are required.

Those exploring the Dream Realm usually set a coordinate to prevent their spirits from getting lost.

With the coordinate as the starting point, the destination for exploration is determined.

This is the journey every traveler in the Dream Realm embarks on."

Anselin explained.

It was the first time Baiyu heard of such an idea.

From these words, it could be seen that the Dream Realm is not simple. Explorers even have to leave coordinates to prevent getting lost.

"Can I leave the coordinates in the Giant King's Court?"

Baiyu felt he might as well give it a try.

A place where Divine Spirits reside.

One must take a look no matter what.

Anselin nodded gladly: "Of course you can. The Giant King's Court is considered a relatively safe territory in the Dream Realm, with the Holy Sword and the Giants' will as its guardians, many strange things in the Dream Realm cannot enter."

Having received Anselin's affirmation,

Baiyu started doing it right away, following her guidance, leaving a spiritual coordinate in this place.

Even if he got lost in the Dream Realm, he would be able to find his way back.

After everything was done,

he started to have mischievous thoughts.

The entire Dream Realm was laid out before him; previously, he had never encountered or understood it. Such a massive temptation would rarely leave anyone unmoved.

Baiyu was considered one of the patient ones.

Taking a step forward,

he opened the largest portal of the Giant King's Court.

Outside was an abyssal darkness, in stark contrast with the resplendent brightness inside.

Baiyu stepped forward.

Hiss...

He suddenly felt a piercing chill behind him, a weird power invaded his body, his spirit body began to quickly collapse.

Ten seconds later,

Baiyu reappeared in the Giant King's Court.

But now, his face looked even paler compared to before.

This was a sign of his spirit body being damaged.

Not only had his face become paler.

His brain ached faintly.

To resolve this negative condition, he had to rest well for a night to replenish his spirit.

"What was outside the door?"

Baiyu asked with lingering fear.

He had only stepped forward one step when that power eroded him, and his spirit body or spiritual body cracked instantly.

"That was an intrusion from the Void Realm, causing a leak of power."

Anselin mused.

"The Void Realm?"

"The birthplace of the Evil God, corresponding to Aurora. Aurora is a place of eternal light, while the Void Realm is boundless darkness.

The Dream Realm is intertwined between them.

Of course.

These Three Realms can generally only be entered with spirit bodies solidified by spirituality, impossible to find with flesh bodies.

The ancient Battle of Blood Stone.

It seems to have been related to the Void Realm.

But too many historical documents disappeared in the war; my status isn't high enough, and I don't know what the inside story of the war was."

Anselin explained.

Baiyu rubbed his brow; the dizzying headache made him unable to continue exploring.

Better retreat for now.

This thought surfaced in his mind.

He felt the surrounding environment blur like water rippling.

When he could see clearly again, he was already in the Scholar Space.

The dizzy feeling in his brain disappeared for a brief moment.

"Eh?"

The retreating Baiyu suddenly had an unexpected discovery.

Beside the academic knowledge tree, the task panel showed the words "Completed" for the Elite-Level task.

[Elite Difficulty]: As a scholar, social recognition reflects the value of your research. Even if it is overlooked for a while, one day it will resonate.

Research a specialized field, independently create a paper and publish it, meanwhile causing a small sensation.

Status: Completed (Read count 94132/10000).

Rating: Perfect, pursuing knowledge and applying it are qualities every scholar must possess.

A reward: one restricted-level lottery chance, one knowledge advancement.

Ninety thousand plus reads?

Baiyu was surprised.

The place where he published his paper was the Martial Arts School Alliance's paper website.

Though it usually had high traffic, he was a newcomer, how could he get such attention?

Opened the forum.

Baiyu received a bunch of private messages, all seeking cooperation to conduct mechanical science research together.

And under the paper, there were many more comments.

Mostly polite commercial flatteries.

But there were also serious discussions of the paper content.

"This direction of research by the author has never been done before, whether right or wrong, at least it pioneers the way."

"Publishing incorrect research is harmful; in Blood Energy research, the importance of rigor is known, any mistake in cultivation can severely hurt one's vitality."

"You know nothing, the path is explored by people. Not sure where this keyboard warrior came from, if you don't know, don't babble."

"Bastard, got a temper, confront it for real..."

Faced with comments heatedly debated for dozens of pages, Baiyu didn't continue reading.

He understood well enough.

Gaining this popularity was not only thanks to Yi Xian's natural traffic but also largely due to the heat brought by the keyboard warriors.

This is good.

No matter their positive or negative reviews, his paper's popularity had risen.

And also these keyboard warriors.

Were mostly top students from major martial arts schools.

Whether in reality or online, their combat power was exceptionally strong.

Baiyu withdrew his attention.

This task reward offered no tangible items but a lottery chance and a "knowledge advancement" that Baiyu did not know what it was.

He went to the lottery interface.

Without hesitation.

Directly used this lottery chance.

As the screen continued to change, Baiyu kept his eyes fixed on it. Soon, the spinning screen stopped.

[Witch's Note]

Level: Restricted-Level

Effect: Unknown

Description: A note painstakingly written by the witch, what does it record? A curse, or a blessing?

"This?"

Baiyu's face showed some embarrassment.

The note in his hand had nothing written on it.

The item's introduction was also very vague, with no clear understanding of its function.

He put away the note.

Baiyu planned to research it later.

His focus shifted to the other reward, [Knowledge Advancement].

As soon as this thought arose in his mind.

The cabinet that used to hold task reward items suddenly shook, and a palm-sized bottle of drink appeared in the drawer.

Unlike the usual cola.

This time.

It was a bottle of yogurt.
