A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 861 - 847: Slime?

The two clashed with a clang, their weapons colliding. The centaur's four long blades whirled like a meat grinder, relentlessly crashing down on Baiyu's Moon Blade. With overwhelming power, the centaur launched a fierce assault.

The strength of humans has never been their forte; among the many unusual races, humans rank at the bottom when it comes to raw power. Yet, the human body is the most perfect form, and most creatures are actually evolving towards this human-like physique.

At this moment, Baiyu was forced to retreat step by step. The massive power left his hands numb. If not for the Blood Qi supporting him, he could have been cleaved in two.

"If this continues, my Blood Qi will soon run out. In the Dueling Arena, I can't quickly replenish my Blood Qi. Once it dries up, I'll be a lamb to the slaughter, doomed to die under the centaur's blades.

I must end this quickly!"

Baiyu's eyes narrowed, and he shouted angrily. His upper body's clothes instantly shredded into countless pieces, revealing his strong muscles. This was one of the reasons he disliked Golden Transformation; each time he transformed, he wasted a set of clothes.

This was the reason he still couldn't fully control the power unleashed by the Golden Blood.

Having decided to finish the fight quickly, Baiyu didn't hesitate. Instantly, he detonated three drops of Golden Blood within his body, intensifying his Golden Transformation. A restless power surged through him, circulating around his body.

Boom!

Baiyu's feet struck the ground hard, stomping with enormous force, instantly cracking the earth with countless fissures and leaving two deep footprints. Using this massive recoil, Baiyu charged at the centaur, raising his right fist as golden energy gathered around it.

From an external view.

It looked as if Baiyu was holding a small sun in his right hand.

A flicker of horror appeared in the centaur's eyes. He crossed his twin blades before him, meeting Baiyu's fist head-on. The immense clash forced the centaur's hooves to dig into the ground, leaving deep marks in the earth as his body skidded backward.

Only when he reached the edge of the Dueling Arena did he finally dissipate the terrifying power.

However, the twin blades in his hand were already covered in cracks, and his muscles shattered, blood gushing out profusely.

"Bastard, you actually shattered my Absolute Yin Blade! How is this possible? These treasure blades were forged over countless days and nights, tempered with the lives of a thousand souls." The centaur's eyes burned with anger, tinged with disbelief.

Baiyu let out a long shout, detonating another three drops of Golden Blood within him. His power surged wildly. Possessing ten drops of Golden Blood, he had no reservations. After all, once used, the energy would eventually recover, just taking some time.

"You're impressive, being able to withstand three layers of my power. From now on, I'll get serious."

In another step, Baiyu leaped forward, positioning himself near the Dueling Arena. His body, like a golden lightning bolt, shot towards the centaur's massive frame, piercing through its chest and blowing open a bloody hole.

When passing through the centaur's back, Baiyu halted his assault. The remaining four drops of Golden Blood unleashed their power without hesitation, and all the burgeoning energy converged onto Baiyu's right fist. He unleashed a single punch.

The golden sunlight exploded, engulfing the centaur instantly in a sea of golden light.

When the golden light faded, only a large pit remained in the original spot, with nothing else, not a trace, not even ashes.

"Oh!! My God, the champion of our Battlefield has emerged! This year's Battlefield champion is none other than our Imperial Fierce Tiger! Cheer and applaud, bestow upon him our highest honor!!"

The glowing orb shouted in exaggerated excitement.

Soon, a light ball slowly descended from the sky. When it fully landed in Baiyu's hands, it turned out to be a medallion, bearing the inscription of the Battlefield Champion. It seemed casual, with no official seal or any other security features.

Baiyu's expression turned somewhat peculiar.

After fighting so hard, was his reward merely this shabby medal? It seemed utterly unreasonable.

However, before he could protest, he started to ascend, being enveloped by a beam of light, transporting him to another realm.

The transition occurred in an instant. When Baiyu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dark cave. The cave walls on either side were lit by dim lamps faintly glowing with a ghostly green hue. The air was filled with a pungent smell. These lamps were evidently not fueled by kerosene.

"Stop sniffing. The oil in these lamps is corpse oil, rendered from the bodies of those defeated in the Battlefield."

Unknown when she appeared, Loloya stood behind Baiyu, kindly warning him.

Before them was a stone path leading into the depths of the cave.

"Follow me."

Loloya led the way, her small shoes stepping steadily on the stone path. She held a lantern, barely illuminating the path ahead.

The cave's coldness made Baiyu uncomfortable. Given that corpse oil was used for lighting, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of creature lay ahead. However, since Loloya was proceeding with such caution, Baiyu wisely kept his thoughts to himself.

Otherwise, should he end up being used as lamp oil himself, his death would be too pitiful.

The two continued along the passage in silence, with Loloya saying nothing, and Baiyu not asking questions. After walking for an unspecified period, Loloya suddenly stopped. Baiyu looked ahead to see a heavy stone wall.

"Open the door!"

Suddenly, Loloya addressed the stone door, which surprisingly began to open slowly. Behind it was an elaborately decorated palace, and atop a massive throne sat a green, jelly-like creature.

It wore a small golden crown and draped itself in a red cape.

Baiyu took a sharp breath, feeling a bit uneasy. If he guessed correctly, this round, massive creature was a legendary Slime!

The kind of low-level monsters, friendly to beginners, seen in various games.

Only this Slime was uncommonly huge, the size of a truck. It even had human-like limbs. One of its green hands held an elegant wine glass, pouring wine into its enormous mouth.

Very elegant.

And quite indulgent.

But Baiyu didn't forget: This creature was still a Slime, a Slime, a Slime!
