A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 97: Boiling Linjiang

Lin Shan and Baiyu made their move so suddenly, and it was two against one in the name of justice. Chang Fu couldn’t react in time and suffered a big loss.

Firstly, this kid’s bizarre glowing ability.

Now he finally understood why the Raven would fail in such a stupid way.

This ability is impossible to guard against!

Although it has no lethal power, it can gain a huge advantage in battle.

It’s like stripping away your vision.

As long as you rely on sight to fight, you’ll be affected, and your eyes will also be harmed to varying degrees.

Then there’s Lin Shan.

She’s an experienced investigator of Linjiang City, a powerful Magical Warrior, possessing Tier Eight combat-type extraordinary abilities.

Recently, after clearing away the negative emotions in her heart, her strength had improved again, and the Blood Qi surging through her had reached the peak of a Tier Nine Martial Artist.

A peak Tier Nine Martial Artist with Five Meridians Open, and her Blood Qi is infinitely close to a thousand cal.

Chang Fu’s body was merely that of a Tier Nine Martial Artist.

Lin Shan’s extraordinary abilities, combined with her Blood Qi, and the bizarre healing ability of an Extraordinary, made her completely unbeatable.

Within just a few rounds, Chang Fu had his legs broken.

Lin Shan’s snow-white arms were covered in black runes, and her hand gripped Chang Fu’s carotid artery, completely controlling his life and death.

Chang Fu glared at them with resentment.

Yes.

He was unconvinced!

If it were a fair fight, even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly.

But Baiyu’s bizarre glowing ability, fighting while flashing, left him unable to cope. And then he suddenly erupted, with a weapon that turned out to be a diary...

Anyone would be dumbfounded.

It’s truly bizarre!

Not only emitting strange light all over, but also using a notebook to hit people, it’s meant for studying, damn it!

One could say that Chang Fu’s complete defeat was largely because of Baiyu.

His mind was disturbed, so his movements slowed.

"How did you find me?" Chang Fu raised his head, gritting his teeth, full of unwillingness.

Baiyu, holding the Rugged Diary, walked over leisurely:

"Even from ten meters away, I can smell that Ghost-faced Race stench on you.

In the Armed Department, you also wanted to kill me, right?

The Raven should have been your man; from the start, you planned to work together with him inside and out.

However, Qi Jie’s move disrupted your plan.

A Raven at that level is enough to kill an ordinary person, but...

After so many times, even Bruce died by my hand.

Even if the officials sealed the news, as someone from the Armed Department, you must clearly understand that trash like the Raven couldn’t kill me.

So, it was you who wanted to make a move.

But Qi Jie made you hesitate, forcing you to restrain yourself; perhaps this is just like a dog-eat-dog situation?"

Baiyu had already sorted out the crux of the problem when he acted earlier.

He was so sure Chang Fu was an undercover agent because he had just activated "Energy Perception" to observe the dynamics inside the mansion.

He had a feeling something was off in the Armed Department, so, subconsciously, he glanced at Chang Fu.

And that glance indeed revealed the problem.

The counterpart’s abdomen was a mass of dead matter, completely devoid of Blood Qi flow and vitality.

In the eyes of energy perception, it was like a block of ice in a burning flame.

This situation instantly reminded Baiyu of the Ghost-faced Race.

Back on Ika Erza, the student parasitized by the Ghost-faced Race was left with only a head hidden in the abdomen for simulating the original owner’s voice.

This is a characteristic of the Ghost-faced Race.

And back then.

If Qi Jie and the Raven were working together, there’s no way they’d coordinate so poorly; they didn’t even arrange the time properly.

There’s only one explanation for all this.

There were two traitors in the Armed Department.

One was manipulating things in the surveillance room.

The other had already colluded with the Raven, both wanting to take his life.

However, the traitor who made the initial move ahead of schedule in the surveillance room inadvertently disrupted the plans of the other side.

"Impressive, it’s my first time seeing a human with such a sharp mind. Not being able to kill you is my only regret."

Chang Fu extended his tongue, licking his lips, full of icy intent.

If he could kill this kid, even if he died, it would be worthwhile. But now, it seemed he couldn’t kill him, and he himself would be lost.

"Break him, and wait until Meng Lei returns."

Baiyu raised the diary and smashed it onto Chang Fu’s hands.

Crack, crack!

Chang Fu’s limbs were all broken.

Even Lin Shan, who was used to bloody scenes, had her eyelids twitching at the sight of Baiyu emotionlessly pounding with the diary.

Screams echoed in the dark alley.

Just as Baiyu had dealt with him, a shadow swept out from the darkness, knocking Lin Shan aside and grabbing the disabled Chang Fu, rushing into the darkness.

The figure disappeared into the darkness.

Baiyu narrowed his eyes.

"His companion? If that’s the case, why not kill us." Lin Shan, recovering from the massive impact, said unwillingly.

"No, it’s Allen. This guy... has betrayed us! The first time I saw that bastard with his shifty eyes, I knew he wasn’t a good person!"

Baiyu said coldly.

...

In the late night.

The entire Linjiang City was in utter turmoil.

The Mechanical Patrol blocked the streets, and the Armed Department’s Martial Artist team began to control the entire North District.

Next up was a thorough search, inch by inch.

A bloody storm was quietly brewing in the dark.

Meng Lei was injured, and Allen had defected.

These two things were like bombs, stirring up the already turbulent waters of Linjiang completely.

Pang Fei had just closed his eyes when he was startled awake.

Then the entire Linjiang went into a state of alert, with large numbers of law enforcement teams beginning inspections and patrols, the entire Sinking Iron Church was controlled by a multitude of Martial Artists.

Tang Xiaoyu, the Priest, was also placed under house arrest.

The teachers from several colleges all joined the patrol team.

It seemed Pang Fei was determined to thoroughly clear out these hidden organizations in Linjiang, even if it meant confronting the Church.

Allen’s betrayal gave him a long-awaited reason and opportunity!

But all of this was irrelevant to Baiyu now.

After he and Lin Shan narrated the situation on the scene, Pang Fei didn’t have the energy to continue managing them. Baiyu was only restricted from running around indiscriminately and wasn’t affected in other ways.

This wasn’t house arrest.

It really wasn’t safe.

From tonight onwards, Linjiang was bound to be drenched in blood.

Baiyu had already become a target for hidden organizations and foreign races, standing at the center of the storm.

Continuing to stay in Linjiang was too dangerous.

Thus, Baiyu was arranged, albeit hastily, to enter Ika Erza overnight to undergo training until the time of the college entrance examination.

At that time.

Linjiang should have been mostly cleared up by then.

...

Seeing the gigantic steamship that blotted out the sky up close again, Baiyu could hardly contain the shock in his heart.

It wasn’t just Baiyu heading to the steamship.

Lin Shan was coming along too.

With the entire Linjiang being a huge vortex now, all security matters had been taken over by the Armed Department; there was little point for Lin Shan to stay below.

"Why is your Blood Qi progressing so slowly?"

Onboard the steamship.

Erza, clad in a green dress, looked at Baiyu, her disdain all too apparent:

"A week has passed, and it’s still stuck at 170 cal with no change. I suspect you’re spending all your cultivation time slacking off."

"Doesn’t cultivation cost money?"

Baiyu rolled his eyes, fish-like: "Kid, respect me while the Heart of the Dance is in my hands!"
