A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 64: A Whimpering End?

Baiyu had no idea that he was being monitored.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the old and the young pair; Pang Fei and Qiong Jiu were also beside Erza, seemingly discussing something with the elderly woman.

Baiyu searched the room thoroughly.

In the places he could reach, the walls and floors didn’t have any hidden compartments, nor was there a likelihood of a key being placed inside. freewebnøvel.coɱ

He took a few steps back and fiercely kicked the door several times.

It didn’t move an inch.

It seemed impossible to break down this door using force.

"In this room... even if it were an escape room, the only things to work with are the table and chairs."

The chair was lifted easily.

Underneath it, there was nothing like a key.

Only the table remained unmoved in the room.

Baiyu pushed it hard, but it wouldn’t budge...

He pushed harder.

It still didn’t move.

This piqued his interest.

"It seems there’s something about the table, but it doesn’t move; maybe I haven’t used enough strength."

Baiyu took a deep breath, and Blood Qi surged within him.

At 160 calories, his Blood Qi was already at the limit for an ordinary person.

At this moment, he gripped the edge of the table with both hands and shoved hard.

Click.

As the table moved, the wall facing the entrance door emitted a heavy sound of metal scraping against the ground.

The wall slowly opened.

Revealed in front of him... was an LCD screen.

"Damn it, why didn’t you use the other method earlier!"

Baiyu stared at the LCD screen where Erza awaited him silently, feeling extremely speechless.

"Earlier, it was a test of your Blood Qi. Now, the assessment of Extraordinary Biology begins. Answer thirty questions, and the door behind this screen will open."

Of course.

If you have confidence in your Blood Qi, you can also force the door open.

After all, the tests for Extraordinary Biology and Ancient Martial Arts are conducted together; excelling in either will allow you to pass, and the speed of passing ranks you all."

Erza explained emotionlessly in the video.

Baiyu wore a defiant expression.

Although he didn’t know what Erza truly was or if she controlled the entire battleship, he could feel her outlandish sense of humor.

This isn’t an online game; what is this obsession with passing levels?

"Your rival, Lan Ziyue, has only thirteen questions left, and several others are closely following her progress."

Erza reminded yet again.

But.

Before she finished speaking.

A fist as big as a clay pot loomed large in her eyes.

Bam!

The LCD screen was violently dismantled by Baiyu.

Behind it, as expected, was a material wall.

This type of thing typically appears in martial arts halls to test the strength of Martial Artists and Quasi-Martial Artists’ Blood Qi.

In other words,

If the Blood Qi is sufficient, it can be broken and kicked open.

If not.

Then there’s no choice but to answer the questions honestly.

"I’ve already unlocked the Qi Vein of my right foot, along with local reinforcement; such a wall, prepared for students... shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

Baiyu directed Blood Qi to his right foot.

Then.

Spirit Technique enhancement activated!

A flash of black light engulfed his entire right leg, and with a fierce kick, it hit the wall heavily.

With a cracking sound.

The material wall was pierced as though it were paper, collapsing with a crash.

This one strike expended most of Baiyu’s Blood Qi.

Local reinforcement isn’t designed for Quasi-Martial Artists to use.

If this kick hadn’t broken through, Baiyu would have had to wait for his Blood Qi to recover before attempting another kick.

Fortunately, his luck was good.

He passed through the material wall.

Beyond it was another hall-like structure, empty and devoid of any people.

The hall was surrounded by the same type of wall that Baiyu had just destroyed.

Judging by appearances, it connected to the rooms of other students.

In the center of the hall stood a stone podium.

Beside it was an LED screen intended to record rankings, but it was currently blank.

Baiyu walked over, picking up the card and two glass bottles on the podium. Inside the bottles were several rounded Medicinal Pills.

"Clear Heart and Bright Eyes Pill, Tier Nine Medicinal Pill, for use by Quasi-Martial Artists and below; effectively prevents distraction during cultivation, clears the mind, allowing for focused learning, thereby significantly improving learning efficiency."

"Qi Passage Pill, Tier Nine Medicinal Pill, for use by Quasi-Martial Artists and below; effectively reduces the difficulty of opening Qi Veins, making it smoother."

The card was an instruction manual.

"She’s really turned it into a level-clearing game; no wonder I could sense her twisted sense of humor even through the screen. Does this immortal battleship girl spend her endless days on the proud battleship of the Human Race, killing time with single-player games?

This is an assessment, damn it.

Taking these two bottles of Medicinal Pills from her, doesn’t that mean I accept her game rules?"

Baiyu glanced at the LED counter beside him, puzzled by the woman’s intention, as such a ranking board is bound to attract grudges.

He casually tucked the two bottles of Elixir into his pocket.

Baiyu approached the LED screen but didn’t record his name on it.

Having passed the first level in just two minutes felt a bit too flashy and didn’t fit his low-key and steady style.

After waiting for about ten minutes, another wall opened.

Lan Ziyue emerged from within, pausing as she saw Baiyu standing before the LED screen.

"Hello, you seemed quite fast, only a few seconds slower than me."

Baiyu smiled as he entered his name on the LED.

Baiyu — Clear Time: Ten Minutes.

Lan Ziyue eyed him suspiciously, recorded her own name on the screen, and then said, "What does this assessment mean? In the room earlier, it seemed to assess our Extraordinary Biology and Ancient Martial Arts. Now that we’ve completed it, there’s no indication of what to do next."

"Let’s wait and see, probably waiting for a certain number of people to gather."

Baiyu sat on the podium and began to wait quietly.

Shortly after.

A few more familiar faces emerged from different room exits into the hall.

Xiang Le, Feng Yuan, Qian Xue, Qianren, and Yue Zian.

This group was the second batch, following Baiyu and Lan Ziyue. After them were Qin Shou, He Ning Qian, and others.

Feng Yuan’s mood was noticeably low.

What could be more heartbreaking than the sudden death of a girlfriend of three years?

Of course, there is.

For instance, that girlfriend turned out to be a monster in disguise, and the real Li Yue had died long ago unbeknownst to anyone.

The thought of such terrifying infiltration is frightening.

Feng Yuan will likely carry this psychological shadow for a long time.

Whir...

At this moment, the screen in the middle of the hall showed Erza appearing once more.

Her gaze swept around coldly, and she said:

"You are the top thirty of this batch; in the next two months, the best educational resources of Linjiang will be at your disposal.

Of course.

Aside from studying cultivation,

you will undertake tasks under the guidance of your Master to hone yourselves.

Training officially starts tomorrow, and your courses at school will be suspended.

This exchange class ends here.

The top five, Baiyu, Lan Ziyue, Feng Yuan, Xiang Le, and Oda Chiyuki, remain behind."

Erza’s signature straightforward style was evident.

After delivering these instructions without further explanation, her image disappeared from the hall.

Everyone felt it was somewhat anticlimactic.

Is the exchange class really over just like that?

Is the assessment solely about these questions?

But looking at the five who were left, everyone sensed there was more to come, though they weren’t sure how it would be organized.

Because staff had already started to enter the hall, organizing the others to leave, leaving only the five who were named to stay.

And at that moment.

An academic achiever’s space prompt, which hadn’t sounded in Baiyu’s mind for a long time, finally rang.
