A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 858 - 844: Centaur Brothers

The schedule for the finals is simple: four contestants each draw lots; whoever draws each other becomes the opponent. And in the finals, there are no longer many rules. There's no shrinking electric net, nor any additional props effect.

Between two opponents, they will showcase an exhilarating match on the arena. There's no restriction, the only constraint is not leaving the dueling arena. Between the two, the fight ends only when one is left alive.

Baiyu and Zhang Qing were lucky enough not to draw each other. Baiyu's opponent is a big tree. Of course, it might be some unseen new species, but the opponent indeed is a tree that can walk, talk, and think.

Baiyu had watched its match before.

It's a formidable opponent; underestimating it would definitely bring no good outcomes. On the other hand, Zhang Qing's opponent is a centaur. Compared to other centaurs, this one has two heads and four arms.

On these four arms, each is wielding a corresponding weapon, which looks extremely threatening.

Soon, the first match of the semifinals officially started with the announcement of the light sphere. Perhaps because it's already the finals, it didn't want to say much to avoid affecting the audience's enthusiasm.

As Zhang Qing stood on the dueling arena, his long spear vibrated, and he charged out like an arrow off the string. A black-brown dragon arose from the spearhead, emitting an angry roar. The air shook and dispersed in that instant, and the violent energy spilled out continuously.

The centaur dared not be careless, waving all four arms, two hands held the spear, while the other two attacked Zhang Qing's neck and chest. Bang, the two collided, a huge force blew away the surrounding air.

Zhang Qing missed his strike, quickly changing his skills to regain distance. However, the centaur refused to retreat at that moment, having just taken a hit from Zhang Qing and suffered a minor loss; how could he let him pull back with ease and re-strategize?

The centaur sprinted forward, wildly waving four arms, sending wave after wave of blade energy, each capable of splitting the arena's rocks apart. Zhang Qing spun his long spear into a disc, blocking all the sword qi.

Yet, amid this gap, the centaur had already arrived in front.

Its movement speed on four legs was extremely fast, far beyond what the naked eye could capture. Caught up in close quarters, Zhang Qing roared in rage, blood qi erupted at that moment, concentrated entirely on the spear, trying for a fatal blow aimed at the centaur's head.

Boom!

Like a bomb exploding in the mouth, one of the centaur's heads was instantly blown into flesh fragments, but the centaur's movements did not stop, still advancing towards Zhang Qing, with four arms clutching four sharp blades, piercing different parts of Zhang Qing's body.

But Zhang Qing had anticipated this scene long before. The opponent had two heads; simply smashing one might still allow the other to control the body, but if both were shattered, this centaur should be thoroughly deceased.

His thought was correct, and Zhang Qing indeed did just that. His spear turned, a more vigorous attack instantly enveloped the centaur's other head. But at that moment, the neck of the earlier exploded head suddenly squirmed, and a new head grew out.

Such a change completely caught Zhang Qing off guard.

His eyes widened in shock, just about to change his move, but it was already too late. The four sharp blades of the centaur instantly pierced through four vital points on Zhang Qing's body, immediately exerting force as Zhang Qing's entire body was shattered into countless pieces, resembling dismemberment.

Such a bloody and cruel scene triggered immense screams from the crowd, everyone continuously shouted, and the atmosphere instantly reached its peak.

The centaur raised its four arms, hoisted its front hooves high, greeting the cheers of the entire audience. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

As for the deceased Zhang Qing, naturally, no one cares.

"Congratulations to our champion, Miao Ka, from the Centaur tribe. He is the newly appointed War God of the Bluewater Centaur tribe. I believe everyone has seen his strength in this battle. He has already earned a spot in the Battlefield finals!"

The light sphere focused the light entirely on the centaur Miao Ka.

At this moment.

Miao Ka's two heads had already grown back, even chatting together.

"Thanks to me this time, little brother, otherwise you'd be done for. This human is not easy to deal with. So I should receive more glory."

"Shut up, brother, you're just rubbish, give me peace. Don't disturb me enjoying the warrior's moment of glory."

"Hey bastard, without my head, you wouldn't have won."

"Bullshit, I can do it alone!"

The two heads kept bickering, and there was even a trend of fighting if they disagreed.

...

As Baiyu stood below, silently watching this scene, he mourned Zhang Qing for a moment, then heard the voice of the light sphere:

"Next, let us welcome the contestants for the next match.

They are.

The Imperial Fierce Tiger from the Great City, and, the ancient war tree from the Vibrant Forest, Rugal!"

Under the spotlight, Baiyu stepped onto the dueling arena step by step. On the other side, Rugal moved constantly through its roots and then landed with a boom in the dueling arena.

The entire dueling arena is approximately as large as four soccer fields enclosed together.

After Baiyu entered, he didn't initiate an attack immediately, but observed his opponent. Such a huge ancient tree is certainly cumbersome in battle, yet the opponent could triumph all the way to the finals, absolutely not to be underestimated.

Thus Baiyu planned to wait and see first.

On the other side, seeing Baiyu not attacking, Rugal also didn't make the first move, but instead rooted into the ground, with roots constantly extending underground. In an instant, the entire tree continuously emitted green light, and then one seed after another grew from the tree.

Once these seeds hit the ground, they became tree people holding weapons, recklessly charging at Baiyu.

This sudden change caught Baiyu off guard.

He never thought such a thing could give birth to offspring, sowing beans into soldiers? Seeing a large wave of tree soldiers rushing at him, Baiyu ceased watching; if it multiplied indefinitely, eventually the entire arena would be filled with the tree's seeds, then what's the point?

He is clad in the Skull Armor received as a previous battle reward, then pulls out a pure black long knife from his hand, swiping fiercely, a crimson hue arises from the blade, followed by black gas instantly enveloping him, making him appear like the Chaos Demon King.

This is the effect of the Black Moon Blade, and recently Baiyu learned its usage method from questioning Master Yi Xian.
