A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 271: Return Journey



These five Spiritual Technique Scrolls are exquisitely crafted from rare parchment and can be activated with just a touch of Blood Qi.

Oath Spirit Technique.

This type of Spirit Technique emerged decades ago, developed by a professor of Spiritual Arts.

It's said that he was betrayed by both his close friend and girlfriend, adorned with betrayal after betrayal, and finally, in resolute determination, he created this thing.

The essence of the Oath Spirit Technique is to appeal to the God of Justice, among the seven True Divines, to witness the oath between two people.

Both users of the Oath Spirit Technique must inject Blood Qi or Spirituality into the technique simultaneously, immediately activating the scroll.

If one party breaks the oath, they will be subject to the backlash of the God of Justice.

This is the most widely circulated form of restraint among Martial Artists and Superpower Users, with many versions like master-servant contracts, slave contracts, subordination contracts, marriage contracts, partnership contracts, and more.

It is evident.

Although that professor sacrificed himself, he ultimately benefited all of humanity, a truly selfless act.

Baiyu wrote the terms on two Oath Scrolls and handed them to the two people in front of him.

Upon seeing them, Meng Siyu's face changed slightly.

The terms were indeed quite harsh.

The first clause was not to do anything detrimental to Baiyu.

The second was not to disclose any of Baiyu's secrets.

Subsequent clauses were tensely worded, more than a dozen in total.

Once the Oath Spirit Technique was established, they could not harm Baiyu in any way and would have to protect his interests.

If Baiyu wanted to control them, they would be unable to resist, even if enslaved.

This...

"Sign."

Lorna showed little emotion.

The opponent possessed too many bizarre things, and if they did not sign, they would surely be silenced.

Moreover, Baiyu was considered their savior.

She wrote her name on the Oath Scroll and left her Blood Qi as a marker.

Then.

The parchment burned fiercely in mid-air, the blue flames without any heat, reducing the scroll to ashes.

In the midst of it.

Lorna felt a great force constraining her, indicating the Oath Spirit Technique was in effect.

Since the dozens of terms on the Oath Scroll did not impose any obligation on Baiyu, he wouldn't be constrained by the power of the God of Justice.

Meng Siyu bit her silver teeth and signed her name on the other scroll.

With a rustle.

As the parchment turned into black ash and dissipated into the air, Meng Siyu sighed, feeling her dignity slipping away: "Can we return now?"

"No rush."

Baiyu took out some emergency medicine from his pocket and handed it to Lorna.

Lorna helped Meng Siyu up, removed her clothes, and began treating her wounds.

Meanwhile.

Baiyu approached several corpses.

The three Demons had nothing on them, but there were two assorted carved tokens.

One was engraved with the word "Wumian," and the other with the word "Blood" in cipher text.

"The 'Wumian' one should belong to the Wumian Mansion, wanted by the Imperial authorities.

As for 'Blood.'

It could be the Flesh and Blood Research Association or the Blood Cup Sect, as both are known to be associated with Demons."

Lorna explained, gazing at the two tokens in Baiyu's hand.

Meng Siyu, in her slightly tattered clothes, blushed slightly, her brow regaining its usual sharpness.

Baiyu dispelled the effects of [Descent of the Demon Lord], returning to his normal form, and asked, "What exactly are Demons? These Demons seem quite similar to humans..."

"Demons are the rulers among alien races. Every alien can be transformed into a Demon by a Great Demon. Humans can undergo the same transformation.

Their physiques are powerful, favoring flesh as food and relishing slaughter.

In the battles between humans and the Spirit Realm over the years, Demons have been the most vexing foes, as nearly every one of them is a severe challenge at the same level."

Baiyu raised an eyebrow.

According to Lorna's assertion, if humans could be transformed into Demons, wouldn't chaos have long ensued among the Human Race?

"It's different from what you imagine. Transforming other species into Demons comes at a cost, the specifics of which I don't know, but it definitely can't be done freely.

In any case.

There have been very few humans Demonized over the years."

If that's the case, it makes sense.

Otherwise, if Demons converted humans on sight, the Human Race wouldn't stand a chance.

After the three had recovered, they corroborated their accounts and cleaned up the entire battlefield. Once confirming there were no issues, they left peacefully.

...

At Celestial South Martial Arts University.

These past few days, the talk among students has been about the Kendo Club's president beating up the Boxing Club.

Both the Kendo Club and the Boxing Club are longstanding clubs with notable reputations among the countless societies at Celestial South Martial Arts University.

The former is famous partly because the name 'Kendo Club' is catchy, and partly due to the former president, Qiong Xue.

As the favored student of Professor Celestial River, the name of the Celestial River Sword is renowned far and wide.

However, she's also notoriously lazy, too lazy to recruit, too lazy to manage, so before Baiyu took charge, the Kendo Club had only her as its lone president.

The latter club is renowned through its fights.

The Boxing Club has consistently demonstrated strong combat strength, further bolstered by the brothers Yuan Zhihu and Yuan Zhilong, earning the club the 'Dragon Brother Tiger Brother' moniker.

"Dragon Brother Tiger Brother? Meaning there's another one as useless as Yuan Zhihu?"

Baiyu asked in surprise.

Lorna rolled her eyes: "Yuan Zhilong is not weak; in a life-and-death battle, my chances of winning against him are only thirty percent."

"After the conflict with you, the Boxing Club has been very low-key, which isn't like them. You need to be cautious."

At this moment, Meng Siyu added.

The three of them walked together on the school path, drawing several gazes.

Especially looking as they had just gone through a big battle, with Lorna wearing Baiyu's jacket, inevitably attracting extra attention.

Their primary destination was the Academic Affairs Office.

The severity of this incident was beyond imagination, necessitating immediate reporting to the school's leadership.

At the Academic Affairs Office.

Deans Lin Qingsong and Ye Sheng were having tea, their spirits lifting at the sight of Baiyu and the others.

Just one look at their appearance and they knew something significant had occurred.

"Dean Lin, Dean Ye, we encountered Demons." Lorna stepped forward and reported.

Thereafter, the two deans gathered information.

With three students dead, it was not a small matter and had to be thoroughly investigated.

Fortunately, Meng Siyu and Lorna were seriously injured, and since the trio's pollution level tests showed no issues, the deans believed them about seventy to eighty percent.

The version the trio fabricated.

Was that they stumbled upon a Demon infighting, leading to the deaths of He Chenghai and Aa An, with the three barely managing to kill the severely injured Demon.

As for the cause of the infighting, who knows.

Since only Baiyu and the others survived, whatever they said went.

The already processed battlefield could no longer provide useful information or restore the original battle scene.
