A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 852 - 838: Zhang Qing the Ghost Spear
Baiyu's premonition was not wrong. After the light sphere uttered the four words "Night of Battle," several people in the white room were illuminated by lights, like being hit by spotlights on a stage.
"Alright, let's welcome our lucky contestants. They are warriors from all over, each tribe, each race, each nation. Now, they will engage in a thrilling brawl here in this arena!
Alright.
Next, let's welcome the stars of tonight's show. The prize for this battle is a bottle of 'Universal Elixir.' With it, as long as you don't use it on the dead, it can heal any injury."
The light sphere continued to flicker, and a small transparent vial appeared in mid-air, containing a few pills that looked just like ordinary cephalosporin.
After the light sphere announced the reward, the people who were previously illuminated appeared in the dueling arena. Besides humans, a myriad of strange creatures appeared in the arena, and all those standing there quickly distanced themselves from each other.
In this arena, everyone except oneself is an enemy.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out quickly. Those strong contestants naturally didn't want to waste time with the cowards avoiding fights. They started proactively attacking, picking out those trying to take advantage, and soon everyone began targeting the timid ones like soft persimmons.
The scene quickly turned chaotic.
Baiyu watched the situation in the dueling arena from the room. Although it was slightly chaotic, it was still possible to identify who was stronger and who was weaker. Obviously, non-human creatures dominated the stage. Even if a few were students from the holy Purple Crystal School, they were no match for these bizarre beings.
Take, for example, a creature like a tangle of dozens of snakes. It ran amok on stage, almost unstoppable. After an intense hour of fighting, the chaos finally ended, leaving only a palm-sized insect and a human covered in blood and various viscous fluids.
This human was evidently a student from the holy Purple Crystal School, holding a long spear, with long hair and extremely sharp eyes. If not looked at carefully, one would think he was a delicate girl, but he was clearly a man.
On the other side, the tiny insect appeared harmless. However, the light sphere introduced it with great emphasis, repeatedly stressing that it was a formidable contestant, not someone's pet. It squirmed in the arena, slowly approaching the man.
Afterwards.
Its narrow mouth opened, revealing countless tentacles. Subsequently, the mouths on the tentacle heads opened again, extending more small tentacles, densely packed, causing a disgusting revulsion.
The insect's tentacles grew longer and more numerous, soon forming a grotesque monster resembling a tangle of countless threads, constantly writhing. The man, holding the long spear, fearlessly charged forward, demonstrating tremendous mental fortitude.
The ensuing battle was intense, with spectators fully engaged by the grand melee. Ultimately, the long-haired man emerged victorious, despite his severe injuries, successfully eliminating the insect.
The vial of Universal Elixir ended up in his hands.
Soon after, another battle commenced among dozens from the Pure White Commune. Their numbers dwindled, and while some returned alive from the arena, most met their demise through literal physical collapse.
Meanwhile.
In the high grandstand VIP room, Loloya, along with several City Lord's Attendants, watched each battle intently.
"You can now see potential in one named Zhang Qing, the Ghost Spear. He's been studying at the school for three years and is now a Level Two student. His future potential is worth cultivating. If he wins this time and obtains the Golden Fruit, he will truly have the opportunity to compete for the title of Immortal."
Beside Loloya, Lilith carefully analyzed.
Amy, dressed in a black dress, sneered, "Loloya, it seems the person you're fond of doesn't have much hope. From start to finish, he hasn't shown any notable prowess; he might just die in the arena."
Loloya frowned and retorted coldly, "None of your business. This time the prize is from me, so what's it to you."
Having been rebutted, Amy gave her a fierce glare but could only sulk alone afterward.
...
Soon, the Night of Battle reached its climax.
The final match saw two warriors of different races battling for survival. Both were formidable, evenly matched, and it took a long time for a victor to emerge. By the time they finished, dawn was near.
Although Baiyu doubted whether there was truly day and night in this place, it indeed brightened. The light sphere then announced the end of the Night of Battle.
"Z-z-z..."
Following the announcement, the audience in the dueling arena gradually left. In the Pure White Commune where Baiyu and others were staying, Loloya's image appeared on the big screen: "Tonight's Night of Battle is over, but there's more tomorrow. Those of you who haven't participated in this round will go on stage gradually. Winning moves you to the next round, while losing—you've seen the outcome yourself.
Alright.
The Pure White Commune is far larger than you imagine, with comprehensive entertainment facilities. You can relax during this time. My personal suggestion is to get enough rest, as the upcoming battles, if you don't want to quit, will be very dangerous."
After saying this, Loloya disappeared from the big screen.
Subsequently, a door appeared in the white room, and two Female Warriors from the Great City led everyone outside the room.
Clearly, the room where everyone had been staying was a transit point capable of teleporting to various places. It could reach the battlefield and other locations. Upon exiting, they were greeted by a vast garden with many villas.
But everything here was white.
The walls were white, the ground was white, even the garden flowers were pure white, devoid of any other color.
"You can choose your residence freely, and the upcoming time is your free period. If there's anything, you can summon us anytime."
After speaking to the group, the two Female Warriors disappeared before everyone under a pillar of light.
