A Top Scholar in Everything

Back to the apartment building.

The Moon Lady and Qiong Xue had already rested.

After washing up, Baiyu was preparing to enter the study space and re-enter the Dream Realm.

However.

As he passed by Yi Xian's room, he stopped walking.

In the room.

A bewildering atmosphere emanated.

From the crack in the door, a deep black substance flowed out, making a sizzling sound upon contact with the walls.

Baiyu's expression changed.

Yi Xian had always been mysterious.

Baiyu didn't know much about her; their interactions during this period were mostly intellectual exchanges.

As for anything deeper.

There hadn't been enough time.

What Baiyu could see was only her surface.

Behind closed doors.

What exactly she was doing, Baiyu wasn't very clear.

But now.

It seemed like something was happening.

Baiyu frowned, flicking his right hand.

A few glass marble-sized scout robots shook out from his sleeve and rolled into the room.

The images provided by the scout robots quickly fed back to his phone.

Only it didn't do any good.

The images were completely dark.

In the room.

There was a faint sound of blurred conversation, but it was not friendly; rather, it was filled with intense argument.

It seemed.

A dispute was happening inside.

Baiyu frowned, focusing his attention.

The more prominent sound inside was a man's monologue.

After listening for two minutes.

The man's lengthy speech ended, and he was about to attack Yi Xian.

Baiyu's heart skipped a beat at this moment, regardless of what the situation was, he had to go in now.

Bang!

The door was kicked open by him.

The room was filled with black fluid, pooling on the floor like ink.

In the center of the room.

A man whose lower half had transformed into octopus tentacles stood, looking ferocious as he stared at Yi Xian, who was pierced by a spear and nailed to the wall.

The spear pierced through Yi Xian's shoulder.

Nearly.

Pierced the heart.

"Stop!"

Baiyu shouted, seeing the monster holding a second spear, ready to throw it at Yi Xian. At this moment, the Blood Qi inside him erupted.

The Moon Blade appeared from his sleeve, instantly slicing the spear that had already flown into the air into two pieces.

Immediately after.

He flicked his right sleeve.

The Shark Kiss was grasped in his hand, the trigger pulled, thick smoke billowed from the hammer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Six bullets shot out like meteors, all hitting the monster.

Each bullet was like a grenade, exploding fiercely upon contact with the monster.

After six bullets were fired.

Over a dozen Mechanical Flying Swords shot out from behind Baiyu, turning the monster into a porcupine.

This series of attacks drove the monster back.

Only then did he arrive in front of Yi Xian.

A person and a monster thus stood in confrontation, the intense attack just now falling like a flash of lightning, leaving no time to breathe.

However.

The monster wasn't dead.

Even if it took on Baiyu's set of cold and hot weapon combos, the opponent was still standing tall.

Moreover.

The flesh on its body kept wriggling, pushing the shrapnel and flying swords out of the flesh, ink-like blood flowing from the wounds.

It was only then that Baiyu realized.

The entire pool of ink-like liquid on the room floor was this monster's blood.

Before he arrived.

Evidently, Yi Xian had already fought with it, and the situation was quite grim.

The monster was likely also severely wounded.

Otherwise, Baiyu's subsequent attack wouldn't have been so successful.

"Teacher, what on earth is this thing?"

Baiyu leaned against the wall.

At this moment, Yi Xian was nailed to the wall by spear-like spikes, with bright red blood seeping from the wound.

However, her consciousness was still clear, and her life was not in danger.

The effect of these spear-like spikes was to suppress spirituality and Blood Qi, making it difficult for Extraordinary and Martial Artists to exert their power.

Just by approaching, Baiyu felt the suppressive power on the spikes.

"Kill him... This is a monster corrupted by the Evil God; if we don't kill him, we'll all die. He's just a spent force now."

Yi Xian said through gritted teeth.

Baiyu's eyes narrowed, planning to act.

But the monster had already used its tentacles to pull out the Mechanical Flying Swords from its body one by one.

Ink-like blood continuously spurted out.

Now its entire body had turned into a watering can.

Only to see the monster take two steps forward, revealing dense fangs, coldly laughing:

"Teacher, are you so devoid of teacher-student affection? I owe what I am today all to you."

Baiyu was just about to exert full force, but upon hearing these words, he paused.

"Baiyu, what are you waiting for?

This monster is regaining strength; if we don't kill it now, none of us will survive."

Yi Xian urged.

She was right; the monster was indeed regaining strength.

However.

Baiyu was intrigued by what it said.

And Yi Xian's reaction also proved that she indeed had something to hide, the whole thing oozed suspiciousness.

This is Villiduo's prosperous area.

Suddenly, a monster like this appearing out of nowhere naturally caused suspicion.

"Do you have intelligence?"

Baiyu looked at this monster.

Generally, people who were corrupted by the Evil God and mutated wouldn't retain intelligence; they would only act according to their inner instincts.

However.

The opponent seemed to have a strong desire to express.

"Kekeke, junior brother, have you forgotten me so soon?

Back in school, we met quite a few times."

The monster grinned, the mass of tentacles constantly moving.

"Are you Qiu Shouzheng?"

Baiyu suddenly remembered; someone who could call Yi Xian a teacher and be familiar with him was likely this senior brother.

Most of Yi Xian's students were already dead.

Only one Qiu Shouzheng remained.

But it seemed he, too, hadn't escaped this cursed fate.

Speaking of which.

Among Yi Xian's students, it seemed Baiyu was the only one still surviving, living healthily.

As the saying goes, it takes two to tango.

If it were just one person, it could be blamed on others.

But.

If everyone encountered problems.

It's hard to believe Yi Xian didn't play a part in it.

"Senior brother Qiu, it seems your recent situation isn't great; if there are misunderstandings, we can sit and talk them out. There's no need to resort to knives and guns."

Baiyu smiled, but internally he remained on guard.

Yi Xian's strength was not weak.

This Qiu Shouzheng was only slightly stronger than him, yet now he could suppress Yi Xian.

Obviously.

This guy grew stronger after ceasing to be human!

And the growth wasn't just by a little.

If they fought head-on, it was likely he might end up skewered like Yi Xian.

In any case.

Better to understand the situation first.

"Hehe, junior brother, haven't you seen through this venomous woman yet?

She's a devout Evil God follower.

It's all thanks to her that I am what I am now. And not just that, those missing, dead students of hers before, she was behind most of it."

Qiu Shouzheng's mouth cracked into a wide arc.

Ink-colored blood.

Continuously gushing from his wounds.

Tentacles like octopus arms moved randomly, smacking the ground uneasily, splashing layer upon layer of water.
