A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 777 - 763: Investigation and Counter-Investigation

In the cultivation room, one could hardly feel the passage of time.

Fifteen days flew by in the blink of an eye, and soon Baiyu found himself on the last day of his cultivation. His whole body was brimming with Blood Qi, having practiced for a long time in this simulated training, almost slaughtering all kinds of foreign tribes and Exotic Beasts.

Not only had his Blood Qi reached the peak of a Tier Four Martial Artist, but his body's toughness, as well as his control over Blood Qi and combat, had also completely reached the level of a Tier Four Martial Artist.

The only shortcoming.

Was perhaps the Core Technique.

His Moon Spirit Divine Heaven Seal hadn't been cultivated to a high level, still leaving some distance from the peak of Tier Four.

Even so.

His strength, if he returned to the East Prosperity Imperial, would indeed make him a formidable figure.

This is the resource of the Great City.

In the East Prosperity Imperial, it would be absolutely impossible to use a Spirit Crystal Ore Vein, along with so much Living Iron and various precious materials, to build a cultivation tower that only a thousand people could use for cultivation. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

As a nation.

The difference from an organization like the Great City remains tremendously vast.

A country has to consider both elite talents and average standards, so there's always been a distinction between the elite faction and the general populace faction.

But the Great City is different.

The City Lord's strategy has always been clear: elite faction, and among them, a kind of super-elite faction.

All of the City Lord's strategies are aimed at cultivating elite figures.

Then bringing them into his influence, strengthening the power, and the development of the Great City has always followed this trajectory.

That's why the holy Purple Crystal School is willing to invest so many resources in building this kind of cultivation tower.

Just as there were only two hours left on Baiyu's cultivation card, a notification suddenly popped up on the screen inside the cultivation room.

"Dear students, I am Loloya from the Great City, and I happen to be at the school today."

"You've all been cultivating diligently, and this year the school has produced quite a few talents, so as per tradition, there should be a reward for all the students."

Loloya's voice sounded through the broadcast.

All the students felt a tinge of excitement upon hearing this; they knew the rewards that came from the City Lord were things ordinary Martial Artists dreamed of.

This wasn't the first time such an event occurred.

Almost every year, there's a lucky one who receives this reward, so everyone paid close attention to Loloya's words.

Loloya.

Has always been an important confidant of the City Lord.

The words she speaks will not be broken.

"Let me think, what kind of reward to give..."

In the broadcast.

Loloya's musing voice sounded.

The entire school, both teachers, and students, paid attention to the speakers, fearing they might miss this opportunity.

Baiyu also sat in the cultivation room, listening with interest, wondering what she would offer.

However.

The thing that appeared in the video the next second almost caused Baiyu to lose control of his emotions.

It was a fist-sized, extremely plump, golden-colored fruit with a lustrous sheen.

Even though it couldn't be felt through the screen, Baiyu was sure that it was a fully matured Golden Fruit.

This thing.

Only those who know its worth can recognize it.

"This time, the prize is this fruit. The method to obtain it is simple. The school's grand competition is about to commence, and I'll just warm you all up ahead of time.

A total of one hundred registration slots.

Whoever can achieve the final victory can obtain it.

These hundred slots will be drawn from those currently in the High-Energy Cultivation Tower. After obtaining a slot, you can give it up or transfer it, and I won't interfere.

By the way.

You all know my style.

This reward fight is not without danger, so everyone be careful."

After saying this.

Her voice vanished once more.

And on the display screens inside every cultivation room and every floor of the halls, numbers began to scroll continuously.

The numbers of one hundred cultivation rooms were quickly drawn.

Baiyu looked carefully, and to his surprise, his own cultivation room number was among them.

Of course.

Even if it wasn't, Baiyu would find a way to get it.

The temptation of a Golden Fruit was too significant for him, and with such a way to obtain it, it'd be a pity not to compete.

After his number was drawn.

Many people chose to transfer or give up.

From inside and outside the cultivation tower, all were extremely interested in these slots. Students with the capability to win the prize were unwilling to give up.

These.

Still didn't understand the utility of the Golden Fruit.

Those who did understand became even more frantic. The value of such a ripe Golden Fruit was imaginable.

For a moment.

The inside and outside of the cultivation tower were tightly surrounded.

Baiyu took advantage of this opportunity to quickly slip out of the cultivation room, and swiftly left this tower that was surrounded heavily.

However.

Just as he left the High-Energy Cultivation Room and returned to the dormitory.

A Level Four student blocked his way.

"Is there something I can help you with, fellow student?" Baiyu instinctively sensed hostility and became wary, asking him politely.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just trying to understand the specific reasons and process of the incident during the extracurricular activities of your Symbol Research Academy's freshmen."

This student took out his student ID, showing Baiyu the details.

A Level Four student from the Investigation Academy.

He's been at the holy Purple Crystal School for three years now, considered a veteran student.

Baiyu wasn't surprised by the inquiry.

This matter had been spreading like wildfire in the school, becoming the hottest topic; many people wanted to know the event's course. In a matter of days, Baiyu had dealt with many such inquiries.

However.

Even after Baiyu rejected this student in front of him, he wouldn't let go and added, "I was a close friend of one of the deceased. I'm hoping to learn the specifics of what led to the incident, Baiyu. I hope you can assist me."

The student displayed a look of agony.

This expression, however, made it difficult for Baiyu to refuse him.

But soon.

Baiyu realized and asked, "You're the friend of that classmate? Among the freshmen of my grade, I have a particularly close relationship with them.

I'm deeply affected by this incident too; I haven't been able to eat or sleep well for days.

You're not aware.

Whenever I close my eyes, all I see are their faces, each one covered in blood, with countless bizarre things growing on them, charging towards me.

It's been many days since I've had a peaceful sleep."

Saying this.

Baiyu suddenly grabbed this student's shoulder, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, turning them scarlet, terrifying to behold.

This student was startled.

At that moment, he even felt as if it was a ghost sprinting towards him.

He felt his body's Pollution Level rise significantly, making him feel entirely out of sorts.

"Do you know what I've been through these days, fellow student…?"
