A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 875 - 861: Master Yimu

Having understood the characteristic that sound cannot be transmitted in the Simulation Realm, Baiyu directly pulled the bewildered Tian Haobin into the hallway, letting him look at the crowd below who were constantly battling the undead. Those undead grew in number, as if they could never be fully killed.

After one batch was slaughtered, another batch immediately emerged from the surrounding black fog. And those who were killed by the undead soon resurrected, joining the ranks of the undead and began attacking the people nearby.

Facing formerly familiar lovers and brothers, many were caught off guard and suffered greatly.

Tian Haobin's eyes widened as he watched this scene, starting to gesture frantically, jumping and pointing around, his mouth constantly moving, yet no sound came out.

In the Simulation Realm, all electrical devices fail, mobile phones can't be used. Even the method of communicating by typing on phones fails. Baiyu used gestures to signal Tian Haobin to follow him, this fellow student from the same academy and grade, also the contact person of the Warring States; Baiyu would save him if he could.

As for others.

Baiyu was barely able to protect himself now, didn't know how to escape, nor how to break this Simulation Realm, he couldn't save them.

If he could save more people, he certainly would.

...

The two made their way down the stairs, reaching outside the dormitory building, encountering several waves of undead attacks along the way, all of which Baiyu directly handled. He quickly noticed that the strength of these undead varied greatly; there was one undead which he couldn't kill even after slicing it twice, and ultimately punched it to its demise.

The two fought their way out of the dormitory.

Yet upon exiting the dormitory building, they were taken aback. On the main road of the Holy Purple Crystal School's campus, there were countless wandering undead.

They were aimlessly strolling on the street, some wearing clothes from the last century. However, they didn't seem to notice Baiyu and Tian Haobin.

Baiyu roughly counted, there were at least a hundred undead ahead, and this was just one street. The entire Holy Purple Crystal Academy covered a vast area, akin to a small town; who knows how many undead were inside the Simulation Realm enveloping the school?

And not just undead.

Baiyu could see in the distant black fog shapes flickering, some ghostly figures roaming, unknown entities but giving an extremely ominous feeling. At this point, advancing or retreating became quite difficult.

Tian Haobin gestured a lot towards Baiyu, the gist being to retreat back to the dormitory where the undead were fewer, and there were a large number of Holy Purple Crystal School students; returning to the dormitory and reconsidering was the wise course.

However, Baiyu directly ignored his suggestion.

In summary.

Tian Haobin's suggestion boiled down to two words: cowardice, hide.

"These undead are evidently not arising out of thin air, they are the past deceased within the Simulation Realm, manipulated by the Simulation Realm into becoming followers of its master. Those eerie black fogs are evidently the influence of the Simulation Realm's master."

Baiyu thought to himself.

To exit the Simulation Realm, one must either locate its core, that is, the creature or item producing the Simulation Realm, and eliminate it. Or rely on powerful strength to force a way out. The Simulation Realm is filled with illusions and various unexplainable phenomena.

Of course.

There's also widespread spiritual pollution.

Baiyu had felt his spiritual pollution slowly increasing at an extremely slow pace since a while ago.

Though slow, it's steadily rising; Baiyu roughly estimated that staying in this Simulation Realm for seven days would push his spiritual pollution to its threshold. At that point, he might experience abnormal phenomena.

For others, it might take only two to three days before they can't bear it anymore.

Just when Baiyu and Tian Haobin were caught in a predicament, unable to break through, a bright light rose in the distance.

A towering golden Buddha illusion suddenly emerged, surrounded by one shining rune after another; at this moment, the golden Buddha illusion opened its eyes, extended a giant golden palm, and forcefully slapped down!

Although no sound could be heard.

Baiyu saw an entire building instantly turned into dust; a thirty-story school building was as fragile as made of flour under that golden palm, offering no resistance.

Though Baiyu could demolish a tall building, turning it to dust with one slap was entirely impossible.

He turned to Tian Haobin.

He wasn't very familiar with the Holy Purple Crystal School, didn't know who made the move, but Tian Haobin seemed to be the little informant of Holy Purple Crystal School, well-informed with wide connections, so asking him about this was the right choice.

Tian Haobin gestured many times with his hands and feet, and after considerable effort, Baiyu understood his meaning.

It was Master Yimu from the Buddhist Academy.

As for how Baiyu accurately discerned the name, it was Tian Haobin mouthing it, along with picking a twig from the roadside, that made him comprehend.

This Buddhist Academy is not akin to Baiyu's Symbol Research Academy, which is half-baked, but an exceptionally unique existence within the Holy Purple Crystal School. Although it can't compete with some of Holy Purple Crystal School's flourishing academies.

However.

The Buddhist Academy is indifferent to worldly matters, full of Buddhist masters who look beyond life and death; every senior speaks well, and when inspired in scripture study, they might perform impromptu rap masses, greatly favored by students throughout the academy, holding high popularity within the school.

Anyway, whenever the school holds celebrations and similar events, the seniors from the Buddhist Academy would form a rap group to perform a segment of Sino-Western blend rap mass, extremely captivating.

And Master Yimu is the old dean of the Buddhist Academy.

He usually spends his time in the Buddhist Academy's library, studying various Buddhist scriptures, largely removed from worldly matters. It was unexpected that this master could unleash such terrifying attacks; truly, no notable figure in the Holy Purple Crystal Academy is weak.

"A powerful individual has made a move, we should head in that direction. Since Master Yimu acted, especially with such grandeur, he must have plans. Perhaps he aims to assemble students over there; judging by his actions, he might be clearing an area to provide students with a temporary gathering spot.

The Simulation Realm is filled with illusions.

He didn't wander recklessly, but relied on such methods to break through the barriers of illusions.

As the two had been communicating for quite a while, Baiyu's spoken words, Tian Haobin could roughly understand, soon nodding his agreement.

In this silent environment, the duo was not discovered by the undead.

It seemed as long as no major commotion was made, those undead wouldn't notice them, yet in this soundless Simulation Realm, Baiyu and Tian Haobin couldn't fathom the reason.

But soon.

Baiyu and Tian Haobin came to a halt.
