A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 857 - 843: Early Reward

When Loloya took out this Golden Fruit, Baiyu was momentarily taken aback and couldn't decipher what she intended.

"This is the reward for this competition, but I'm giving it to you because I believe you can win the championship.

This competition is very important, and the Golden Fruit is just one part.

By winning this competition, you're only getting a ticket to participate in the next event.

Good luck, I have high hopes for you."

Loloya stuffed the Golden Fruit into Baiyu's hand. Seeing he didn't show any expression, she added: "Don't worry, I'm definitely not like someone from the forest boa. You've joined the Great City, we're family now.

Working under me, you'll never be mistreated.

I'm never stingy with family."

She patted Baiyu's shoulder in an old-fashioned manner, which was rather comical. But Baiyu couldn't laugh, he solemnly asked: "Why do you have high hopes for me? My performance is clearly not as impressive as others. That Zhang Qing is much stronger than me."

Baiyu was secretly puzzled.

He had tried to hide his strength as much as possible. Could it be that a handsome man like him was as conspicuous as a firefly in the night sky, standing out wherever he went? This wasn't good; it didn't align with his low-profile nature. He'd need to be more careful in the future.

"Because you are a Fateless, even the Sequence One Demigod of the Destiny Sequence cannot deduce or see your fate. That's also why someone from the forest boa is after you. People with your constitution are sought-after by all major powers."

Loloya laughed softly: "I've spotted your existence with my discerning eyes amid the sea of people and intend to take you as an apprentice! But you can't meet my minimum standard for apprenticeship right now. Acting rashly may attract the attention of my sisters, which wouldn't be good for your future."

Baiyu's mind buzzed, completely unprepared for this development. He cautiously asked: "Are Fateless people very rare? Do those with this fate always become influential figures like Celestial Emperors or Demon Venerables in the future?"

Loloya's smile gradually froze, her mouth twitching: "Have you been watching too many dramas and reading too many novels? However, Fateless people indeed have some advantages. Abilities related to fate, divination, or curses are hard to affect them. Because their fate is unpredictable, they struggle to be manipulated in life.

But I can tell you quite responsibly.

Since the Great City was founded, there have been four Fateless in total, and now there's only one remaining. The other three have all died. Precisely because their fate cannot be perceived, filled with uncertainty, they encounter various strange and dangerous events, making them prone to death."

"That's scary," Baiyu's face changed, "So who is the last surviving Fateless?"

"The City Lord."

Loloya lowered her voice, "You mustn't tell others about this. Otherwise... you'll be in big trouble." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Baiyu nodded, showing he understood.

Afterwards, Loloya patted Baiyu's shoulder again: "Don't worry, I believe you can win. There are no battles for you in the next few days, so you can focus on absorbing this Golden Fruit. Unlike the forest boa's method of catalyzing, this one is refined with pure Life Power, which I got from the God of Life."

She didn't explain further, leaving behind a vague comment about gaining knowledge after reaching a higher Realm and then floated away, leaving behind a bewildered Baiyu.

Loloya approaching him might not necessarily be a good thing.

If he lost in the upcoming competition, Loloya would surely give him a stern lesson, but if he lost in the Battlefield, his life would probably be gone too. After much contemplation, Baiyu decided to first absorb the benefits he had at hand.

In this world, strength is everything, and not exploiting free opportunities would be a loss.

As for the so-called orthodox Golden Fruit and those refined using Evil Techniques that Loloya mentioned, Baiyu didn't pay them much mind. He took a bite, and the sweet juice flowed in his mouth, filling his throat, and eventually transformed into a cool stream flowing into his stomach, making his entire body feel incredibly comfortable.

Afterwards.

His arms instantly transformed into Gold, followed by his chest and heart.

Yet, the power of this Golden Fruit was limited, and after turning his chest into Gold, it ceased to work. Coincidentally, his eight-pack abs hadn't been enhanced yet.

"Looks like to turn the entire upper body into Gold, at least two to three more fruits are needed. Long way to go."

Baiyu thought to himself.

This thing isn't like a mango on the street that can be bought at will. But after consuming this so-called Golden Fruit, he indeed felt the enhancement of solid strength. Besides the increase in Golden parts, in his Blood and Qi Central Hub, Golden Blood had also increased to eight drops!

Each drop of Golden Blood can unleash a tremendously powerful attack, instantly elevating the body to a terrifying level. It's like Popeye eating spinach. If all eight drops of Golden Blood exploded at once, Baiyu felt he could punch the big skeleton Homman dead in the fighting ring.

In the following days, just as Loloya said, Baiyu had no duels. He focused on digesting and familiarizing himself with the power brought by the increase of Golden Blood while following the matches in the ring on a TV.

He didn't miss any match because the winner may be his next opponent, but whether it was due to Loloya's manipulation or not, by the time Baiyu took the stage again, it was already the semi-finals.

As for the others, they all fell on the way to the semi-finals.

This competition had many participants, besides the students from the holy Purple Crystal School, there were also the indigenous people from the Yellow Sand World, and many strange participants from places he had never heard of, like Skeleton Sea, Thundering Valley. Clearly, the participants this time were not all from one Tidal World.

This multi-world, multi-race brawl was naturally brutal. On the ring afterwards, only the winner could survive; the rest had to die.

Under such a brutal competition system.

For indigenous people like Boss Bei or Earth Fire, even if they entered the Dueling Arena and had an equal power balance, they were merely toys for others. Naturally, they were all wiped out, none survived.

Fortunately, Wang Shenghua wisely chickened out and withdrew before the competition, likely safe and sound at school right now.

So to speak, those who understand when to advance or retreat generally live peacefully.

In addition to Baiyu, three other participants remained in the Battlefield, one of them being Zhang Qing.

As for the other two, they were not of the Human Race, but from other races.
