A Top Scholar in Everything

Baiyu and Yi Xian didn't anticipate that the monster would be so bizarre.

The reason for this invisibility trait is still unclear.

But Baiyu guessed.

It might be similar to their gaze.

Anyone who doesn't make eye contact with the monster can't see it, and it won't target them for hunting.

"These mutated monsters have all sorts of strange abilities. We must fight quickly, or there might be unexpected changes."

Yi Xian said coldly.

Her entire body was swiftly covered by mechanical armor.

The crimson armor exuded a menacing aura.

She turned into a streak of blood-red light and vanished in front of Baiyu.

Excited Blood Qi erupted from her body.

The monster's advance was completely halted, and deep red light shone from the mechanical armor as she delivered a punch to the monster's head.

Bang.

The fierce Blood Qi tore through the monster's flesh.

It let out an angry howl, sent flying dozens of meters away, with magma-like blood flowing slowly from its disgusting wound.

Injured!

It was the first time Baiyu had seen such a formidable mutated monster.

He wondered how strong the veteran had been before.

"No, I can't beat it. I already felt it when we exchanged blows earlier; this monster's strength might be at Tier Three!"

Yi Xian said with a troubled expression.

Tier Three.

Grandmaster Realm!

Currently, Yi Xian was still at Tier Four, the peak of an Elite Level Martial Artist.

Compared to a Grandmaster, she was still far lacking.

"Don't rush. There must be a weakness we're overlooking. Every mutated monster has its vulnerabilities."

Baiyu reassured Yi Xian.

He observed the giant wolf surrounded by blazing fire, dripping molten magma.

The aura on its body.

Carried a distinctive scent belonging to the Dream Realm.

This was definitely not wrong.

Baiyu could clearly sense that the monster's aura came from the Dream Realm.

It might be similar to what he speculated.

The veteran encountered misfortune during exploration in the Dream Realm, leading to this monster's birth.

However.

Monsters from the Dream Realm could be very challenging to deal with.

After all, that is the dwelling place of Divine Spirits.

Who knows if this monster is related to some bizarre entity?

Ways must be found to get away.

Baiyu knew full well that if the fight continued, the two of them might meet their demise.

Originally, this was just a situation inspection, but he hadn't expected to encounter such an event.

What rotten luck.

Baiyu wore a hint of frustration.

Was he having a streak of bad luck, constantly running into these inexplicable things?

"Pull back a bit."

Baiyu shouted loudly.

The Forbidden Armor Celestial Mark began spreading across his body; each use of Forbidden Armament required great effort from Baiyu.

However.

The moment had arrived when he had to use it.

Yi Xian furrowed her eyebrows slightly.

Just as she was about to retreat, the giant wave of flame suddenly withdrew on its own.

And.

It retreated quickly.

The sight.

Looked more as if it was fleeing for its life.

The two of them were perplexed by this occurrence when the surrounding space shattered like a mirror.

Crack... crack...

Countless fractures filled the entire world.

Bang!

The space shattered at this moment.

A person shrouded in golden light, akin to an angry Vajra, appeared at the scene.

The mutated monster that had been attacking them earlier was now retreating frantically; its speed so fast that Baiyu could only see a flame darting rapidly across the ground.

Baiyu recognized the newcomer.

Ji Long.

A Bishop of the Holy Light Church, from the Wind Dove City Church.

A man whose power reached Sequence Two, touching the Demigod Realm.

He radiated intense Sunlight from head to toe, akin to a small sun, driving away the surrounding darkness.

Warm and intense rays illuminated the area.

Those injured in the earlier explosion were now being healed.

"Are you alright, Director Bai?"

Ji Long's voice was hearty, like the warm sun of spring.

Baiyu took a moment to calm himself and said, "Bishop Ji, what brings you here?"

"Villiduo is where the main church of the Holy Light Church is located. I come to handle some matters every week at the main church.

And now I've encountered this mutation incident."

Ji Long replied.

"Main church?"

Baiyu was a bit puzzled.

"Haha, I know you might say Kyoto's, there are two main churches of the Holy Light Church, the one in Kyoto is also a main church, just from different factions.

But let's not talk about that.

Let me handle the business first."

As Ji Long's words fell, he turned into light and disappeared before the two of them.

When he returned, a minute had passed.

He held a floating sphere of light in his hand.

Inside.

Contained a miniature fire wolf.

Judging by its appearance, it was the same monster from before.

From attack to capturing alive, the whole process took just a minute; the fire wolf's escape seemed utterly futile.

Is this the power and methods close to a demigod?

Baiyu was slightly lost in thought.

From departure to return, he hadn't caught a glimpse of Ji Long's actions, not even a shadow.

The gap in levels was too vast.

"The follow-up will be handled by the enforcers of the Holy Light Church, care to join me?"

Ji Long invited Baiyu while handling the light sphere.

...

Half an hour later.

In a street-side milk tea shop.

Ji Long casually placed the light sphere into a box, set it aside, and drank milk tea with Baiyu as if nothing had happened.

Yi Xian watched from the side with twitching eyes.

Is this how you handle monsters, sir?

Of course.

She understood Ji Long's confidence in his abilities.

Moreover, at his realm, few could indeed pose a threat to him.

"Bishop Ji, I still wanted to ask earlier, where were you during the last great battle in Zenith City?"

Baiyu initiated.

Ji Long shook his head with some discomfort and said, "Strong ones among the demons were dispatched too, I was entangled by them at that time and couldn't break free.

Let's not talk about that.

Why have you come to Villiduo?"

"An elder arranged for me to come here for some training exercises.

Since Celestial South Martial Arts University was left in such ruin, even if I wanted to study, there's nowhere to go.

Might as well get some real-world experience."

Baiyu replied naturally.

As long as he could acquire knowledge, the place didn't really matter.

"I see.

Indeed, the Veterans Mutual Aid Association is a place to hone yourself, like with the current situation, haha."

Ji Long gestured to the box beside him.

"What is this thing?"

Baiyu asked curiously.

Ji Long said, "This is the Heart Fire Wolf, a special mutated creature spawned due to various reasons.

Its strength is unpredictable.

The most powerful once appeared as a Tier Two Heart Fire Wolf.

Moreover, this creature has a peculiarity.

Only some people can see them, while others can't detect any traces of them at all.

This poses great difficulty in capturing them.

On this point.

Our Church has been studying it."
