A Top Scholar in Everything

"Brother, my reputation here is honest and trustworthy. Don't just make accusations from thin air and tarnish my innocence!"

The man set down the wooden carving, his eyes dodging.

Instead, Baiyu found it amusing.

That such unscrupulous merchants can survive is truly bizarre.

"Do you know how severe the punishment is for using substandard or diluted materials for weapons in the school? Since you deny it, I'll report this to the student council."

Baiyu turned and walked away.

"Wait, wait, brother, let's talk this over."

The man stood up in two strides and grabbed him.

"Alright, forge me a peak A Level weapon. Dare to include even a bit of counterfeit..."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare."

The man swallowed hard, reluctantly accepting the loss.

Usually, when students come to forge blades, how could they recognize the materials? But now he'd run into someone knowledgeable, just bad luck.

The process of forging blades isn't simple.

Choosing material, quenching and forging, hammering...

Every step requires precision.

The man opened the forge room, a furnace of molten iron blazing hot in the center, with bellows pumping and the temperature extremely high.

He took off his coat, picked up the knife mold beside him, and began casting the mold for Baiyu's long blade.

"Don't cut corners. Not only will I inspect it myself, but I'll also take it to a testing facility. If there's a problem with the combat blade, it's a big deal."

Baiyu said calmly.

The man's body shook a bit, nearly losing his balance.

This bastard.

He's practically a devil.

A peak A Level blade can cost as much as several regular A Level alloy blades. Without any dilution, it's definitely a loss.

But.

He had no choice now.

Watching the man start crafting, Baiyu didn't idle either.

He sat on a stone table, pulled out a book from his small backpack, and began reading carefully.

Making the most of every moment to learn, that's the way!

Learning is earning.

This time, he was reading "Mystical Language: Key to Mysticism," by Wozzisodd, a very famous mysticism expert.

Mystical Language is the cornerstone of mysticism.

In high school, Baiyu and his peers only had a preliminary understanding of mysticism and could arrange simple rituals, but Mystical Language is the bridge to communicate with the mystical.

Many formal rituals require Mystical Language for writing.

Of course.

Even informal ones do.

Some places call Mystical Language the language of demons, while others call it the language of the gods.

This book.

Contains records of some common Mystical Languages.

The book has been specially treated, minimizing the communicative function with the mystical. Readers just need to be mindful of pollution levels, keeping a calm mind.

Baiyu sat at the stone table, immersed in his reading.

Beside him.

Jiang Xi first ordered a large delivery with her phone and then started finishing the last piece of oily paper-wrapped chicken in her hand.

Time ticked by.

For two days, the man was in the forge room hammering blades.

Forging blades requires a seamless process; each step can't be interrupted, and the material's activity must be maintained. Crafting a peak A Level blade is exhausting.

Of course.

What made him even more nervous was the two monsters sitting in his yard.

For two days.

He hadn't closed his eyes.

Yet these two hadn't either.

One was reading mysticism books, tirelessly, like a stone statue.

The other.

Kept eating...

Is her stomach a black hole?

Another two days passed.

With a hiss from quenching, the man used tongs to extract a long blade.

The overall shape of the blade resembled the Tang blade from Baiyu's previous life.

The spine was streamlined, there were two blood grooves near the hilt, and the blade had orderly patterns, nearly reaching the thousand refinement level.

In blade crafting, the "refinement" count is critical.

The Hundred Refinement Blade is folded and hammered a hundred times, each fold adding a pattern to the blade.

Similarly.

The Thousand Refinement is over a thousand times.

The Ten Thousand Refinement is over ten thousand times.

Each fold knocks out impurities in the iron, making the blade sharper, more resilient.

It's said there are even hundred thousand and million refinement blades.

These, however, require masters from the forging realm to create. Regular blacksmiths would likely collapse halfway.

"The main material is a nine-star white iron alloy with melting steel, with dragon forged iron as a secondary material..."

The man looked at the long blade in his hand, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

But he was drenched in sweat, his face pale, each breath causing his chest to heave.

Exhausted to the extreme.

Baiyu picked up the blade, flicked it lightly, and a resonant sound rang out.

"Good blade!"

He couldn't help but exclaim.

"Alright, you can go now, I need some rest too."

The uncle, quite frustrated, issued the order to leave.

...

As the two walked on the campus road.

Jiang Xi looked at the long blade wrapped in cloth by Baiyu and asked, "No name for it?"

"Uh... I don't really like naming things."

Baiyu changed the subject.

Naming things is practically anti-human.

At this moment, after four days of intense study of Mystical Language, his mysticism knowledge had surged, pushing this subject to the brink of LV2.

He should now be able to continue the bone tempering process, retraining the first and second volumes of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique.

It's just a pity.

The third and fourth volumes of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique are not yet secured. With only the first two volumes, the bone tempering effect would be greatly diminished.

After all.

It's a series of Spirit Techniques.

He'll have to find a way to obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques.

Currently, Baiyu's Blood Qi is at three thousand calories, surpassing most Tier Eight Martial Artists, and he needs to lay a solid foundation at this stage to rise further.

And he can't neglect the progress of becoming an Extraordinary.

He's at a loss for further Magic Elixirs for the Prayer Technique apprentice Sequence Eight.

The third and fourth volumes of the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique.

The Magic Elixir for the Prayer Technique apprentice of Sequence Eight.

These are Baiyu's plans moving forward.

His academic knowledge is completely capable of supporting further advancement, so he needs to boost his strength first.

"President."

"Vice President."

Just then, a student walked up, excitedly shouting.

Baiyu was a bit puzzled.

He hadn't seen them before.

"Recently, the Kendo Club has had new members joining, we've accepted them all, and our members have expanded to over twenty." Jiang Xi whispered in his ear.

Expanded?

Baiyu felt a bit awkward.

It seems that aside from the start of school, he hadn't attended any activities at the Kendo Club's base, it was usually Qianren managing things, he had no idea how they were doing.

Just as he was about to visit the Kendo Club.

His phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

After taking it out to check.

It was a message from Yi Xian, asking him to come to the villa.

Since this master led Baiyu into the academy, they hadn't been in contact for a month. He had only received foundational knowledge in Mechanical Science and Magic Kinetics from her.

He's not sure.

What the purpose of this invitation is.

"Let's call it a day." Baiyu said to Jiang Xi, "Be careful when you're on a mission, it's best to act with people you know well."

Given Meng Siyu's experience, Baiyu felt obliged to remind her.

"Mm, by the way, there's a club ranking competition at school next month, you might consider participating." Jiang Xi suddenly remembered, whispering, "The rewards are generous, and the club needs to raise its rank to grow."
