A Top Scholar in Everything

The changes before Baiyu's eyes far exceeded his expectations.

Indeed, Sioman's combat power wasn't high.

But what the heck is with him mutating mid-fight? Who knows if he'll go berserk after mutating, damn it.

In his heart, Baiyu wished he could cut his mentor Yi Xian twice.

Mutation.

People would transform into complete monsters.

Their combat power and eerie nature would increase exponentially. It's not uncommon for an ordinary person to take down several Martial Artists and Extraordinary individuals after mutation.

As long as they don't remain human, they might gain terrifying power.

"No, it's not a mutation."

The lightbulb had long been shattered by their clash.

In the darkness.

Baiyu's eyes shone brightly as he closely watched the massive monster whose height reached the ceiling.

The opponent still possessed intelligence!

Although Sioman didn't speak, he was clearly retaining his intellect, not launching a death strike like other mutants.

He was observing the surroundings, looking for his opening.

Baiyu gathered his spirit.

It's good if there's intelligence; the opponent might not be a mutant but rather affected by a special Magic Elixir given by Master Yi Xian, causing this effect.

"Roar!"

In a moment of distraction.

Sioman's gigantic hand, like a tree branch, swept across. Due to the narrow room, it carved several hideous grooves into the wall.

The hand almost slapped down directly.

Baiyu bent his legs, igniting the Blood Qi within him.

Immediately after, he explosively unleashed an incredibly swift speed, transforming into a streak of blood light in the room, appearing behind Sioman.

"Hiss Hiss!"

After transforming into this form, Sioman's vocal cords clearly couldn't produce human language, resorting to various onomatopoeic sounds to convey emotion.

Baiyu's Blood Escape Technique caught him completely off guard.

Moreover.

This Blood Escape Technique is clearly meant for fleeing, used only in life-or-death scenarios; if not mortal, the user would be half-crippled, reduced to a shell of their former self.

Yet he used it as a maneuver in combat!

Madman.

This person is definitely a madman.

"Blood Blade Knife·Soul Slash!"

Utilizing the Blood Escape Technique to instantly appear behind Sioman, Baiyu lightly touched the wall with his left foot; his right hand wielding the Moon Blade ignited a Blood Qi rainbow that stimulated Sioman's nerves.

The Blood and Qi Spirit Technique of the Qiong Family erupted with massive lethality at this moment.

"No!"

A shrill scream, resembling a human's, escaped from his mouth.

But at that moment.

The Moon Blade stabbed fiercely into the body, pulling sharply; all he felt was the world spinning.

Thud.

The massive head rolled on the floor as the room returned to silence.

Baiyu took a deep breath, recovering the consumed Blood Qi within him.

Sioman was now completely dead. Apart from the relatively normal head, his entire body had turned into a monster.

Whether it was the ravines-like, tree-bark-like skin.

Or the muscles bulging like backpacks on his body, none of these are shapes a normal human should have.

Da-da-da.

Meng Siyu, hearing the commotion from outside, rushed up from downstairs, along with several apartment residents awakened by the noise.

However, with Kang Chu in control, these people soon lost interest in the spectacle and shut their doors tightly again.

"This thing..."

Inside the room.

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Meng Siyu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, quickly averting her gaze.

Meanwhile, the man in the room had already fainted.

Thus, he saved his own life.

Otherwise, just witnessing Sioman's transformation into an Extraordinary being would have driven his mind insane.

Meng Siyu also took two deep breaths to steady her mind before daring to examine the corpse closely.

"Did you come here just for this?"

She couldn't help but voice in surprise.

Such a massive mutant is definitely not easy to handle.

If it were an average freshman, even with a school-standard squad, they could still be wiped out.

However.

Thinking it was Baiyu, the anomaly, she quickly felt reassured.

This guy can even slay demons; what can't he do?

The other had already completed the tasks assigned by their Master, while her cohort still attended the Master's lessons.

The gap between them is more than just a little.

"Yes, just a small trial; after all, my Master is very strict. You should also know her reputation." Baiyu smiled faintly.

Meng Siyu snorted an ambiguous nasal sound.

She certainly knew Baiyu's Master.

Mentor Yi Xian, among the teachers of Celestial South Martial Arts University, has a terribly vile reputation, often assigning impossible tasks to students.

New students.

Would generally choose to avoid her, even if they wanted to study related course knowledge; they wouldn't enroll under her name.

In the past year or two, Yi Xian almost didn't take any students.

Yet she encountered Baiyu, this exception.

"Let's go, the matter here is resolved."

Baiyu tore the sheet off the bed, packed Sioman's head, then carefully examined his body and residence, finding nothing noteworthy.

The man was very cautious.

He hadn't left any written information.

Though Baiyu hadn't forgotten the words Sioman said, he chose not to believe them. Both Yi Xian and this guy probably weren't good people.

It's better to be on guard.

The only person he could truly trust was himself.

...

The next day.

After receiving Baiyu's message, officers from the Water Storage District police department quickly arrived, handled Sioman's corpse, and began transporting it to a specialized research facility.

According to Sioman, he was the only survivor of Yi Xian's experiment.

His body should hold significant research value.

Yet Yi Xian didn't ask Baiyu to retrieve his body, which was another reason why Baiyu didn't trust Sioman's words.

"I never imagined you'd be so bold, taking down even a mutant like that. If we get the chance, we should definitely grab a drink together."

Kang Chu personally escorted Baiyu out of the Water Storage District.

Initially, he thought Baiyu was just an ordinary student, perhaps with a slightly privileged background. He agreed to help because of the influence of Baiyu's master.

But the night changed Kang Chu's perception of Baiyu.

He was also a Tier Eight Martial Artist.

The mutant alone, judging by its appearance and size, wasn't easy to deal with; every time he looked, his brain would experience some fogginess.

If he had fought with this mutant, he might have lost his life.

This was also what Kang Chu admired.

Of course.

They didn't know, strictly speaking, Sioman's condition wasn't exactly a mutation, at most a pseudo-mutation.

"That's fine with me, I don't have many other qualities, but I'm thick-skinned. If Brother Kang invites, I'll definitely come for the meal."

Baiyu smiled and agreed.

"It's settled then."

Kang Chu escorted them all the way out of the Water Storage District, even preparing a carriage, incredibly considerate.

Baiyu and Meng Siyu didn't delay either.

They went to the Bounty Hunter Association, handed over the investigative task, and then returned to school.

Meng Siyu frequently glanced at Baiyu on the way.

She discovered another secret while handing over the task just now.

This bastard.

Turns out he is an A-Level Elite Hunter!

She had worked hard for several years to get to B Level.

How in the world did he manage it!
