A Top Scholar in Everything

Once everything around was deployed, Baiyu prepared himself, then walked into the apartment unhurriedly.

After entering the building.

The hands of the Dream Pocket Watch began to turn rapidly.

In such a small area, the accuracy of the hands would decrease significantly, unable to find an exact location, only able to roughly determine the smallest area.

Baiyu walked around the apartment building.

After dozens of trips, he finally confirmed the scope of the target person Sioman.

There were three rooms in total, lined up together, Sioman might be hiding in any of them, Baiyu couldn't be sure which one.

He lightly shook his hand.

Pea-sized reconnaissance robots rolled out of his sleeve, entering the three rooms respectively.

These were Baiyu's reconnaissance robots.

They had been stored in his Mechanical Realm just for such crucial occasions to come into use.

Three rooms.

One of the rooms was empty.

The other two were occupied, one male, one female. But the male differed greatly from Sioman's appearance in the photo.

Baiyu felt some doubt.

The Dream Pocket Watch's guidance wouldn't make mistakes, could it be he triggered that twenty percent chance?

If that were the case, he had nothing to say.

But now.

Baiyu felt Sioman was one of the two people.

As an Extraordinary, one must always trust their Spiritual Intuition.

Both of them were possible.

Adhering to the principle of being foolproof, Baiyu reached for the Moon Blade from behind. The weapon given to him by Yi Xian had not yet been used for a real fight.

The reconnaissance robots had already scouted the room thoroughly.

There were no traps inside.

So Baiyu did not need to exhaustively eliminate danger.

The Moon Blade easily sliced open the security door, Baiyu grabbed the door frame, placing it down gently, and walked into the room.

On the bed.

The man breathed steadily, asleep.

The cold blade rested on his neck, causing him to feel something and open his eyes, pupils contracting sharply.

"Sioman, I didn't expect you to hide here."

Baiyu swiftly covered his mouth, giving him no chance to react: "Hand over what you stole from Yi Xian, and I'll spare your life!"

"Who are you, I don't know any Sioman."

The man made a weak sound.

With a blade against his neck, his whole body shook uncontrollably, an unpleasant smell emanating from the bedding.

Baiyu frowned.

This person, from awakening till facing his sudden assault, had no anomalies, nor any traits of an Extraordinary.

He must have found the wrong target!

Was it the person next door who was Sioman?

Just as Baiyu thought this, an intense sense of danger suddenly welled up in his heart, his Spiritual Intuition sent strong warnings at that moment.

He didn't think twice, blocking behind him horizontally with his blade.

Clang!

Sparks erupted sharply in the darkness, the crisp sound of metal echoed in the room.

The woman from the next room, wearing a robe, had somehow sneaked up behind Baiyu, holding two short knives sinisterly aiming at his eyes.

Blocking the first stab, the crisis was not over.

"Sunlight!"

Baiyu shouted, his whole body burst forth with intense light.

The woman's attack skewed in response, tears uncontrollable streaming down her eyes, the scorching pain causing her to scream and retreat.

"Blood Blade·Soul Slaughter!"

Baiyu smeared his blood-red hand on the blade of the Moon Blade, crimson blood immediately soaked the blade, followed by horrific Blood Qi cleaving out with one slash.

Blood Spirit Technique, Blood Blade!

The woman felt disoriented, crossing her double knives in front of her chest.

Clang.

The bloody Blade Qi instantly swept her away, slamming her heavily into the wall.

Once she landed.

Thick blood continuously poured from her mouth.

Baiyu's left-hand self-inflicted scar swiftly healed under the effect of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, recovering in moments.

Blood Spirit Technique was the most suitable type of Spirit Technique for his Core Technique.

And the Qiong Family's Blood Spirit Technique system, the included techniques were all fine products, exhibiting fierce power at this moment in battle.

"Blood Martial Artist, her Blood Qi is at the peak of Tier Eight…"

"Looks like Yi Xian couldn't hold back and sent someone to kill me, you're a sophomore at Celestial South Martial Arts University, right? Can you tell me how you found this place, my good junior brother!"

The woman supported herself on the wall, her eyes like a wolf in a desperate situation.

"Junior brother?"

Baiyu grasped the blade, Blood Qi accumulating: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm no associate of you fugitive."

"Hehe, seems you know nothing. You're her student, isn't it fair to call you junior brother? I'm a former student personally taught by her a few classes before you!"

The woman emitted an eerie chuckle.

"Student?"

Baiyu squinted his eyes.

"Her students over the years would all die from various 'accidents', even if they miraculously survived her assignments, they would eventually disappear mysteriously. Do you think all these are coincidences?

Do you really understand her?

Now you're helping her kill me, perhaps the next student she takes might come to kill you."

The woman taunted.

Baiyu lowered his eyelids, "She said you stole something from her, what is it?"

"Antidote."

The woman coldly replied: "Yi Xian is researching a bizarre, terrifying Magic Elixir, I, along with several other senior apprentices, are her test subjects.

They all died.

But I happened to survive, becoming her guinea pig.

Except.

I gained some special abilities due to the peculiarity of her experiments, stealing the research's suppressive antidote while she was careless, and fled."

Baiyu placed his left hand in his coat, "Is that so, but your current appearance is vastly different from the photo she gave."

"Do you think I wanted to become a woman?

These are the side effects of ingesting her experimental drugs.

The antidote I stole has only temporary suppression, must be periodically ingested, but the antidote was long depleted.

Now the antidote's efficacy has faded.

My body is changing every day.

I don't even know if tomorrow I'll wake up as a monster.

But I am the only surviving test subject.

Yi Xian will not let me go.

She wants to know the effects of the Magic Elixir she developed and what capabilities it ultimately possesses.

She didn't act before because she thought I would voluntarily go back to her without the antidote's suppression.

But I'd rather die than seek that witch!!"

Sioman's eyes flickered with hatred.

Baiyu remained silent.

In the darkness, both fell into an eerie silence.

Suddenly.

A blistering flash erupted.

Bang bang bang!

Six bullets rapidly fired out of Shark Kiss's barrel one after another, shooting forward like a storm.

"Why... why would you still help that vicious woman!!"

Sioman emitted a mournful, venomous voice in the darkness.

His body began to swell rapidly, soon reaching the ceiling, clothes ripped by bulging muscles, revealing skin like aged bark.

On his skin, various weeds began to grow.

From afar, he resembled a giant made of straw.
