A Top Scholar in Everything

There was just a moment of bewilderment, and on the screen in the hall, Erza released the image outside the Legendary Ship.

In the currents surrounded by a mass of thunderous magma.

A middle-aged man in beach shorts, bare-chested, was tempering his body, with electric surges constantly flowing through him, leaving charred marks on his skin, which then quickly healed.

As the tempering deepened.

The thunderous magma continuously poured into his skin, making his whole body emit a blue light.

He was actually cultivating in a thunderstorm with billions of volts!

"Can a Grandmaster achieve this?"

Baiyu asked.

Erza cut off the image and appeared on the big screen herself: "A Grandmaster can do this, but it is very difficult to cultivate in the Thunder Magnetic Area.

They must envelop their bodies with Blood Qi when traversing through it.

Someone cultivating like this in the Thunder Magnetic Area should be a Tier Two Martial Artist."

Generally speaking.

Anyone above Tier Four is collectively referred to as a Grandmaster.

However, the gap between each stage of Grandmaster is like an impassable chasm; many times, just a small realm apart makes a world of difference.

Tier Two.

Such a person is already a dominating presence, with not many in the entire East Prosperity Imperial.

"What intentions does the opponent have?"

Baiyu was more concerned about this.

It was too coincidental for a Tier Two Martial Artist to appear here, as Mist Deceit Forest is usually a forbidden zone, with no one venturing in.

Moreover.

Every move of such a Tier Two Martial Artist represents a large group of people behind him.

The so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body is precisely this meaning.

"Not yet... Wait, he's coming towards us."

Erza's eyes flickered with a hint of radiance.

Soon.

A vast voice penetrated the energy shield of the Legendary Ship and reached Baiyu's ears.

"Friend, are you coming from Maple Leaf County?"

This was the man's voice.

Erza's gaze showed inquiry.

Baiyu stood up, "I'll go to the deck and talk with him."

...

The massive Legendary Ship stopped in the Thunder Magnetic Area.

Lightning struck the energy light shield, creating ripples like raindrops hitting a glass window.

The man stood outside the light shield.

Upon closer inspection, although he wore no clothes, he carried a large Mountain-Opening Blade on his back.

Quite similar to Baiyu's Great Guan Blade.

"This is the Legendary Ship Ika Erza, are you from the Qiong Family?"

The man smiled and said.

Baiyu did not answer immediately but instead asked, "Who are you?"

"Ji Long, the Church Bishop of the Radiant Church in Haiqing County."

The man patted his buzzcut directly, smiling, "Won't you invite me in for a chat?"

Having said that.

He emitted a spirituality all over, with a radiance and noble wave emerging from his body.

Indeed, it was the aura of the Radiance.

As a pseudo-believer.

Baiyu keenly sensed that the other party was a genuine member of the Church.

"Do you know Meng Lei?"

"Uh, are you talking about the Law Enforcement Chief at the Kyoto Holy Light Church? If it's him, of course I know. He visited me some time ago."

The burly man chuckled.

It seems that followers of the Radiance are all quite strong... Baiyu looked at his well-muscled body and silently mocked.

The light curtain of the Legendary Ship tore open a small opening.

Ji Long took the opportunity to slip in through the opening, as smoothly as a swimming fish.

Qiong Jiu appeared beside him, to prevent any unexpected events.

It's just that.

On the Legendary Ship, even if the other party was Tier Two, it would be extremely difficult to kill Baiyu, not to mention Baiyu also held a Suffering Paperman for protection.

"To be honest, I am on a mission."

Sitting on the deck.

Ji Long took the tea handed over by Erin and said frankly, "The battle in Maple Leaf County is intense, and I'm here to guard the Mist Deceit Forest and prevent anything from going out that could affect the battle in Maple Leaf County.

The second reason.

Is to intercept deserters on the battlefield.

After all, every year many people flee without fighting, which is quite worrisome..."

Baiyu sat beside him, "We are not soldiers, moreover, with your strength as a Tier Two Martial Artist, why not go to support Zenith City."

"I am just following orders."

Ji Long's eyes surveyed the Legendary Ship, his smile broadening: "But don't worry, the Legendary Ship is not within my jurisdiction, you must have gone through a fierce battle to break through. What I really want to know is the situation inside Zenith City."

"Don't you know?" Qiong Jiu asked.

"This operation is highly confidential, with the Empire's forces at the center, our Church was only called in to lend a hand.

So.

I have no idea what's going on in Zenith City."

"Wumian Mansion deployed Giants, allied with the Demon Race and Ghost-faced Race, launching a blitz in Zenith City.

Moreover.

The Demon has a new method of controlling people,

with current detection instruments, repeated tests are necessary to discover it.

The reason Zenith City fell so quickly.

A large part of the reason is because of this."

Qiong Jiu said.

"New control methods, indeed it deserves attention."

Ji Long nodded, placing the teacup aside, his gaze repeatedly surveying the deck, finally locking onto Baiyu;

"You are Baiyu?"

Has my fame grown so much already... Baiyu was somewhat surprised in his heart.

"Meng Lei has mentioned you to me. You are a follower of my master, and also a Divine Favored, granted special power by my master.

I've always been quite curious about you."

Ji Long fished in his pocket, pulling out a token, "This is a keepsake from Wind Dove City in Haiqing County, you can come to find me if you have an opportunity."

Baiyu took the token, saying, "How is Meng Lei?"

"What else, he returned to Kyoto, being part of the law enforcement, destined to run across the entire Imperial.

You guys continue your journey.

There's a checkpoint ahead, but showing my keepsake should allow you to pass smoothly.

The entire Maple Leaf County is currently sealed by the Imperial, it's uncertain how successful this war can be."

Ji Long stood up, his eyes looking in the direction of Zenith City.

Baiyu thought of a few acquaintances still in Linjiang City, and couldn't help but ask:

"How is the Imperial planning to handle it?

The entire Maple Leaf County is already sealed, is an attack next?"

"Yes, the upper echelons of the Imperial want to contain the flames of war within one county, the Eldest Prince has led troops to support Zenith City, aiming to encircle the aliens."

Ji Long nodded in confirmation.

"What about other cities in Maple Leaf County?"

"The army's first target is Zenith City, only after Zenith City is stabilized can attention be paid to the situation of other cities.

You came out from there, you should know better the current status of each city."

Ji Long looked at him.

Indeed.

If he hadn't risked his life to defeat the sea Giant, Linjiang City would have become a ruin by now.

Alas...

It's just a pity that Pang Fei was unwilling to leave with him.

However.

With Yao Ji and the Suffering Paperman he gave.

At a critical moment, Pang Fei should have no problem keeping his life.

"Okay, you guys continue on your way, leave the Mist Deceit Forest, cross the Desert, and you'll enter the Haiqing County range.

There's basically no danger ahead."

Ji Long stood up, leaped again, and re-entered the sea of lightning.

Baiyu held the token.

He always felt that this Bishop of the Holy Light Church had ulterior motives.
