A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 860 - 846: Final Battle

After being uprooted again, Baiyu delivered dozens of consecutive strikes to the same spot on Rugal's body, slicing down fiercely. Faced with such a fierce attack, Rugal had absolutely no means of resistance.

In an instant, its massive body was sliced in half by Baiyu's relentless strikes.

Boom.

Rugal shattered into countless wooden fragments, completely losing any sign of life.

"Oh, our victor has emerged, and he is the mighty warrior, the Imperial's Fearsome Tiger!"

The light sphere shouted excitedly.

The surrounding audience began cheering and applauding, rising from their seats and throwing their glow sticks in support.

Baiyu allowed the light to shine on himself as he lifted his head and addressed the light sphere: "What's the reward for this round?"

The light sphere's boisterous cheers suddenly halted, somewhat awkwardly: "It seems our Imperial's Fearsome Tiger is quite a practical warrior. This round has no reward; the winner will earn qualification for the finals.

When you win the final, you will gain everything. The ultimate victor will claim it all."

Upon hearing there was no reward, Baiyu felt a bit disappointed but didn't mind too much. If there's no reward, so be it. Anyway, the finals are approaching, and if I can't win there, any reward I receive would be someone else's prize.

Only the victor can claim it all.

...

Amidst the crowd's cheers, Baiyu left the ring and returned to the Pure White Garden. Loloya appeared on time: "Well done, keep up the momentum and continue winning. There's only one opponent left; don't let me down!"

"I can only say I'll try my best. If you could provide me with some powerful divine artifacts, I'd definitely feel more confident. In the finals, it's allowed to use any weapon or item freely. Do you have any that can directly obliterate the opponent?"

Baiyu looked at Loloya.

Clearly, the City Lord's Attendant didn't expect Baiyu to be so direct and couldn't help but reply: "If I help you, those supporting the centaur will also assist him. It won't be effective. Plus, there are rules in the battlefield; you can't use such means casually."

Baiyu frowned: "Do the people behind the centaur surpass you in power? Then I can only rely on my own luck."

Loloya smiled as she stared at Baiyu: "No need for provocation; how could I not surpass that old hag behind the centaur? Since you want it, I'll give you some protection items just in case."

After speaking, Loloya casually plucked a pearl from her clothing and placed it in Baiyu's hand: "If the opponent uses any other illegitimate means, just crush it."

Baiyu put the pearl in his pocket, feeling more secure. Then Loloya left the villa, and Baiyu stayed there, resting well before preparing for tomorrow's match.

...

"We welcome our Imperial's Fearsome Tiger!"

The next day, in the dueling arena, the light sphere resounded with an enthusiastic call. Responding, Baiyu took to the stage, gazing at the surrounding audience. Today's crowd was the largest yet, filling every seat in the battlefield.

Even during previous busy times, some seats would remain vacant, but today not a single one was empty. Additionally, many people held standing tickets, and some creatures clustered together in a strange manner to occupy a seat.

The intensity of the finals far exceeded everyone's expectations. Baiyu stood on the dueling ground under such circumstances, while opposite him, the centaur warrior had been waiting for some time. Unlike yesterday, today the centaur warrior wielded four noticeably sharper long swords.

The swords exuded a domineering, sharp, cutting aura, felt clearly even from afar, making one instinctively avert their gaze.

"Human, you have remarkable courage to have come this far. I don't know whether to say you're lucky or your backing is strong. But regardless, today I will end your victory."

The centaur's four arms clashed, and the longswords emitted a grating sound: "I am the death god in your life. Remember the name of the one who kills you…"

It hadn't finished speaking.

By then, Baiyu had already transformed into a shadow, instantly appearing in front of the centaur, and immediately wielding the Black Moon Blade like a waterfall, enveloping the massive body of the centaur in countless blade lights.

The centaur was caught off guard by this sudden move. Normally, shouldn't both parties introduce themselves first, get acquainted, then exchange threats before engaging?

This bastard shows no martial virtue, coming to deceive and ambush!

For a moment, the centaur lost the advantage, caught off guard by Baiyu's strikes, its enormous body bearing countless wounds, blood streaming. The intense pain agitated its two heads.

"Bastard! I said we should attack directly. Brother, you're useless."

"My foolish brother, if we attacked directly, you'd surely fall into this cunning human's trap. We'd only be more embarrassed."

The two heads argued intensely.

Baiyu didn't care about their deliberations. Regardless of the situation, his goal was to kill the opponent. So after a series of continuous blade techniques, Baiyu's figure shifted, and with a Blood Qi Burst, moved swiftly to the centaur's rear.

Then, blade lights exploded like snowflakes.

The centaur was completely passive, despite having four arms and being unable to react quickly. But its two heads weren't for nothing, realizing even if they couldn't fight back, they could escape.

At that moment, its four hooves moved, and the centaur darted like a rocket.

Baiyu couldn't match its speed at all.

The dueling arena spans about the size of four soccer fields combined. Once the opponent opened a gap, Baiyu couldn't catch up. With this delay, Baiyu's offensive momentum faltered, losing its edge.

A weakened momentum slowens the blade.

Baiyu refrained from rash attacks, retreating to another side of the dueling arena.

Both opponents calmed down, striving to find each other's weaknesses, although the centaur had already endured a full combo from Baiyu, now burning with fury, its four eyes fixed unwaveringly on Baiyu, seeking weaknesses.

How should I put it? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The two began probing, advancing and retreating in the dueling arena, turning what was a deathmatch into a slapstick duo show, changing the atmosphere so drastically that the audience momentarily couldn't react.

As they continued until the audience started yawning and demanding refunds, suddenly Baiyu quickened his pace, rushing at the centaur. Similarly, the centaur had anticipated such a move, its four hooves stomping forward, and its four long arms attacking Baiyu.
