A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 1002 - 988: The Named One, Heruo

Color's strike was decisive, swiftly killing the demon race warrior almost as quickly as lightning.

Crackling.

The demon race warrior's body collapsed instantly onto the ground, blood flowing continuously, and soon after the blood drained dry from the large corpse, it dissipated into gas and disappeared, leaving behind the giant sword and armor which rolled on the ground.

Color completed the kill.

The light sphere above the gladiatorial arena began to flicker: "Well done, you have pleased the Great God of Seven Heads with blood, proving yourself.

You may continue forward." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The circular pattern in the center of the gladiatorial arena suddenly opened, revealing a dark passageway leading downward, evidently the path to the next level.

Color did not hesitate and quickly stepped down.

"It seems that this is the test to enter the next level. I will go first, you can use this opportunity to observe whether the level of the opponent is related to strength. If you're unsure, don't enter the gladiatorial arena just yet."

Machima jumped into the gladiatorial arena.

The light sphere once again emitted a voice: "A new challenger, it seems your strength is quite formidable, let's hope you draw a good sign."

Then.

In the same manner as before, a beam of light appeared opposite Machima, but this time stepping out of the beam was not a harmonious and adorable creature like the demon race, but a blood-soaked Bone Dragon.

The opponent was entirely composed of gray-white bones, with patches of blood and flesh from unknown creatures stuck in some places.

"It seems your luck isn't great today, this Dark Bone Dragon is the creation of the Great Necromancer, having killed countless challengers over the millennia. Each time it defeats an enemy, it absorbs the power clinging to them, further strengthening itself."

The light sphere actually began to explain the background of the Bone Dragon.

But.

Machima didn't wait for the light sphere to finish speaking, and initiated an attack first, numerous ice cones gathering in the air like a downpour, densely striking the Bone Dragon.

Such a fierce attack.

Before long, the gigantic physique of the Bone Dragon began to crack under the assault, one ice cone after another piercing its body, inciting it to thrash against the ground like a frenzied worm.

The result of the battle was one-sided.

The Bone Dragon, in front of Machima, could not even counterattack and was swiftly demolished.

"Your power exceeded my expectations, the God of Seven Heads acknowledges your strength, proceed downward, you have the right to venture deeper."

The pathway in the center of the gladiatorial arena opened once more, Machima glanced at Baiyu, then proceeded downward.

After these two battles.

Baiyu had essentially discerned the pattern of opponents appearing in the gladiatorial arena.

Firstly, there definitely wasn't the Eclipse Moon Realm.

Neither the demon race warrior Color faced, nor the Bone Dragon Machima fought, reached the level of Eclipse Moon Realm.

Therefore, for Baiyu to tackle them.

Should not be a major challenge.

Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that both of them had exceptionally good luck, drawing very simple opponents.

But at this moment, the arrow is on the string.

Baiyu took a deep breath and entered the gladiatorial arena.

"A strange challenge has arrived? Don't fear, your opponent is not a normal creature either."

Within the beam of light.

A graceful woman wielding a long sword stepped out.

Though her appearance was similar to a human, her skin was entirely wooden, making her look like a wooden figure.

After stepping out of the beam of light.

She immediately dashed forward, rapidly reaching Baiyu's side, swinging the long sword, sending out waves of sword qi.

Baiyu dared not be careless.

The Black Moon Blade met the opponent's long sword, and the two clashed.

But Baiyu soon discovered that the opponent's swordsmanship was remarkably skilled, not due to the high level of blood qi or spirituality, but purely through superior technique, suppressing him from gaining the upper hand.

Even though the underground palace no longer suppressed blood qi and spirituality.

However.

Even exerting full strength, Baiyu could not gain any advantage.

In the end, out of necessity.

Baiyu could only stimulate the power of golden blood within, and in an instant overpower the wooden figure.

Upon unleashing golden power, the wooden figure began to falter.

The overwhelming golden power drove forcefully into the wooden figure's body, wreaking havoc inside, soon reducing the figure to splintered pieces of wood, collapsing to the ground.

"Well done, possessing golden blood is rare nowadays. The God of Seven Heads is searching for people like you."

The light sphere opened the passage to the next level.

Baiyu proceeded along the passage, arriving before a statue of Seven Coils; this statue was not as large as those outside, and in front of it, there was a stone table on which hovered seven different colored light spheres.

Behind the statue was a gate leading to the next level, but it was currently closed.

Clearly.

He was required to select one of the light spheres.

Gazing at the seven spheres, Baiyu eventually reached for the green sphere.

Soon.

A wondrous power flowed from the sphere into his body.

The Power of Life Healing.

This is one of the seven divine powers of Seven Coils, a temporary acquisition, it cannot be used again after leaving the relic of Seven Coils.

"This means the upcoming challenges need assistance from the Seven Coil Divine Power?"

Baiyu thought to himself.

He began to doubt the purpose of this underground palace's existence; it seemed less like a relic and more like a testing ground for selecting disciples for Seven Coils.

After choosing the green light sphere.

The gate behind the statue of Seven Coils opened, Baiyu strode through it.

Compared to the previous level.

The architectural style was similar, but every structure seemed less dilapidated, and this level featured plants and animals.

In the sky, floating were giant jelly-like creatures, emitting a faint blue glow.

In the air, white spores danced.

Blue and white lights interwove.

Making the whole scene dreamlike, as if entering a fairy tale world.

But Baiyu never once forgot; this was the Seven Coiling Hall, those seemingly harmless things might become deadly weapons at any moment.

"Baiyu… Baiyu…"

As he stepped into this level, a female voice suddenly called in his mind.

The sound was distant and near, floating unpredictably, but continued uninterrupted, like an old monk chanting scriptures.

Baiyu frowned, standing still, asking in his mind: "Who are you?"

Since able to speak directly in his mind.

The other party surely could communicate with him through spiritual power.

"I am the named one of the God of Seven Heads, Dream King Heruo, I need your help." The voice quickly responded.

Baiyu said: "Help? A named one like you needs my help for what?"

"I need you to help me escape from this place, everything occurring within the Seven Coiling Hall I can see, only you have this ability."

Heruo's voice carried a hint of urgency.
