A Top Scholar in Everything

Yao Shuimei did not explain why they had to wait for the fruit to be fully ripe before taking action.

However.

There are just two possibilities.

One is that while the Golden Fruit was growing, it couldn't harm the S Level aberration; the opponent was in a plant-like state and possibly possessed extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The second is that Yao Shuimei needed the mature Golden Fruit.

No matter which is the case, it's no longer important now.

The pollution brought by the S Level aberration was so unbearable that even though Yao Shuimei blocked most of it for Baiyu, there were still discomforting reactions on Baiyu's body.

In other words, a mutation occurred.

Scales began to grow on his arms, each one golden yellow, like fish scales.

These symptoms had been present for some time.

After consuming the Golden Fruit and obtaining the Golden Blood, the symptoms intensified significantly.

Now.

Whenever the Pollution Level was too severe, he would transform into this state.

Yao Shuimei glanced at Baiyu and didn't say much, her Blood Qi bursting forth, as a three-headed, six-legged Exotic Beast began to take shape behind her.

Immediately.

She let out an almost animalistic roar and within moments, rushed to confront the S Level aberration.

Their battle wasn't particularly graceful.

It was simply a punch from her, a kick from it.

However, with each punch or kick, the destruction caused was jaw-dropping.

With each attack.

They pierced through the disks, blasting a large hole in them, and the vines that had previously been deadly against Demons were fragile as paper before Yao Shuimei.

After piercing the disk.

The immense destructive power of her fist wind could still blast a huge crater into the ground hundreds of meters away, just like a meteor strike.

And such an attack.

Was just Yao Shuimei's ordinary punch.

At her level, when using Spirit Techniques, they were either highly specialized or all-out killing moves.

Other Spirit Techniques.

Did not have damage as high as her ordinary attacks.

Yet the S Level aberration was able to withstand these attacks. Although Yao Shuimei spent most of the time attacking, the S Level aberration did not take significant damage.

For a while, the two were evenly matched.

But the disk.

Had already been mostly destroyed.

To ensure safety, Baiyu retreated several steps, but the pollution automatically emitted by the aberration made him uncomfortable.

He had to concentrate entirely to combat this powerful pollution force.

If he was slightly inattentive.

It might seize the opportunity.

As for the Golden Fruit at the center, no one cared about it anymore; in fact, ever since the S Level aberration awoke, there were few survivors left on the disk.

Besides Yao Shuimei and Baiyu.

Only a few others remained, fighting against mutation to battle the pollution.

They lacked the strength to compete for other things.

Soon.

The battle reached a fever pitch.

The aberration was ultimately no match for Yao Shuimei. As it fell back, its blood kept splattering.

Feeling helpless.

The S Level aberration unexpectedly stopped fighting, and in Imperial language, it shouted at Yao Shuimei:

"Why are you stopping me! The Demons in the Simulation Realm were all slain by me. Why do you dare stop me, Yao Shuimei?"

The creature roared.

Baiyu never expected this thing could speak.

Moreover, it seemed clear-minded, with no impairment of thought despite the mutation.

This type of thinking, emotionally aware aberration seemed exceedingly unusual.

Baiyu had encountered talking aberrations before, but they were not fully mutated, only partially so.

Moreover, they were controlled by Demons.

But now.

The aberration before them was obviously different from those Baiyu had seen.

Upon hearing the aberration speak, Yao Shuimei also stopped, calmly saying, "That's another story. If I let you go, you would pose a greater threat than the Demons."

Such an alien.

Should not exist in this world.

Both Demons and some greedy humans created you together; today, I must rid the world of this mistake."

The S Level aberration, hearing these words, grew extremely twisted in its expression: "What gives you the right to say that? The person behind you is the same type as me.

Why don't you eliminate him first?

If we talk about threats, his threat is much greater than mine."

He pointed behind Yao Shuimei.

Baiyu didn't expect the argument would involve him like this; he was just an innocent bystander caught in unexpected trouble.

Moreover.

His mutation was manageable, with no interference in normal life.

Yao Shuimei didn't continue to answer him, instead launching another attack, this time with less apparent advantage.

Apparently realizing its end was nearing.

The aberration began fighting full-force, resorting to powerful Spirit Techniques with abandon.

Creating a region humans could not tread around them.

Deep black energy enveloped the surroundings, and countless attacks came from all directions, trapping Yao Shuimei.

Debris on the ground was swept up by the airflow, forming a windstorm of fragments on the disk.

The tornado grew larger.

Ultimately.

Baiyu could no longer clearly see either figure.

After waiting a while.

Yao Shuimei emerged slowly, injured, the aberration wholly vanished, leaving not even a corpse.

And the Golden Fruit.

Was contained in a special Living Iron container made by Yao Shuimei, no longer emitting that strange fragrance.

This exotic scent would attract all kinds of living creatures to approach.

It was an attraction from the essence of life, hard to resist with sheer willpower.

"Is it resolved?"

Baiyu asked, looking at Yao Shuimei.

Yao Shuimei nodded: "The aberration is resolved, but logically, the Simulation Realm should be disappearing."

However.

The Blood River Simulation Realm showed no signs of disappearing.

"And what about those previous injuries?" Baiyu inquired.

Now it seemed.

This aberration wasn't truly a match for Yao Shuimei.

Yet before.

Yao Shuimei's injuries were severe.

"It was caused by it, but not here, it was at the company. What's strange is that after cultivating the Golden Fruit to maturity, its power weakened significantly, not even a tenth of before."

Yao Shuimei found it extremely peculiar.

But this hardly mattered to her, as the Simulation Realm slowly dissipated, proving the aberration had indeed been the originator of the simulation.

As the sky gradually returned to normal.

The surrounding black energy also faded, revealing the earth's true appearance, teams of Demons exposed to Mountain City's automatic defensive firepower, then submerged in the ensuing barrage.

The outside turmoil.

Did not reach the military zone here.

This was indeed a rare piece of good news.
