A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 863 - 849: City Lord

The upcoming campus life became quite relaxing.

Baiyu began to digest the gains from this trip, a golden fruit, and according to Loloya, it's a pure, uncontaminated golden fruit, much better than what the Mokong gave him. One piece is stronger than three. That's why Baiyu could directly transform his entire chest into gold.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn high-level knowledge, Baiyu specifically studied the Golden Race. However, Loloya said it's not a race, but a title. If one day he can transform his entire body into gold, then he would be considered part of the Golden Race.

This left Baiyu quite puzzled.

Golden Saint Soldier?

But listening to Loloya's tone, wanting to transform the entire body into gold is incredibly difficult. The reason is that as your body transforms more into gold, the golden fruit's effect drastically weakens. In the end, eating hundreds might not even transform a finger.

This is just like the body's resistance to drugs.

Eat too much, naturally, it won't work. Baiyu's heart sank upon hearing this news.

The Golden Race possesses abilities to rival the Divine Spirit, but first, one must become part of the Golden Race.

However, Loloya also said.

Late-stage golden transformation doesn't rely on golden fruits. She couldn't explain the specifics; those who understand don't need to hear, and those who don't gain no benefit from knowing. Such a cryptic person, Baiyu almost wanted to twist her head off and kick it like a ball, provided he could defeat her.

The days that followed.

Baiyu continued to digest the gains from this expedition at school. Besides the golden fruit, he also gained a super gene ability encompassing many genetic abilities and a set of White Bone Armor. This was the total harvest.

It doesn't look like much.

But in reality, the yield far exceeded his expectations, truly a bounty.

After a brief rest, he threw himself into endless cultivation once more. The feeling of constantly becoming stronger is truly addictive.

...

Tower of Miracles.

As the central area of the Great City, its defenses are stringent, with numerous guard patrols at all times. The floating small lands beside the tower constantly emit light, activating spirit arrays to prevent harm to the tower.

Yet today.

All those small lands, constantly emitting light and constructing spirit arrays, were silenced, as if in a blackout.

Only those privy to the inside knowledge knew.

The City Lord has returned.

Click, clack, click, clack.

The sound of leather heels on the ground echoed from the marble room. It was a long corridor, with a woman sitting on a stone throne at the end. Although she wore nothing on her face, she was indescribable to the eye.

Loloya cautiously walked the corridor, arriving beside the platform.

Meanwhile.

Lilith had already stood there.

"Lord City, the recent battlefield concluded perfectly. Baiyu claimed the championship. He's the one from the East Prosperity Imperial, studying golden blood knowledge," Loloya said.

The City Lord lazily nodded: "I recall; recently, the Divine Emperor of East Prosperity awakened from slumber, causing quite a stir. He's one of East Prosperity's few prodigies. He actually won the championship relying on golden blood?"

Loloya nodded: "Yes, he can now transform his upper body into gold. His strength is Tier Four Martial Artist, and his extraordinary abilities are passable, with Black Moon's power too, enabling him to win the match."

The City Lord stayed silent a moment before saying: "If so, let him undergo the ascension trials. If he successfully ascends to Dream Realm and gains a hint of divine spirit power, I'll support him afterward."

Loloya nodded and added: "Baiyu keeps asking me about the Golden Race. He seems cautious about divine spirits, wanting to pursue another path."

This time.

Not only was Lilith curious, even the City Lord found it odd: "Golden Race? His imagination is indeed rich. But if he genuinely transforms his entire body into gold, our Human Race might truly have another powerhouse. Let's see, the ascension trials this time—if he performs well, I'll consider it."

Loloya nodded and then provocatively glanced at Lilith beside her.

However.

The evidently more mature Lilith ignored her.

Loloya wasn't pleased for long before the City Lord said: "You've been quite active recently. The Evil Life Sect matter is off your hands; focus on a more crucial matter—the relic from Eternal Frost Imperial that you personally let slip lately.

According to Eternal Frost Imperial's classification.

Within that relic is a Silver Warrior; you need to be cautious, but with your power, you should handle it. A Silver Warrior's best is comparable to an Immortal. Moreover, he is related to the disciple you just trained."

"You mean Baiyu?" Loloya exclaimed.

"Yes, I can see there's a destiny line between them, though faint, it indeed exists. This proves they had a past connection." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The City Lord spoke indifferently.

After these words, she didn't move anymore, and then, sitting on the stone throne, she began to slowly petrify, eventually becoming a solid stone sculpture.

Loloya and Lilith were accustomed to this scene.

Evidently.

Their City Lord often exits in such an unorthodox manner.

Once the City Lord left, this time it was Lilith mocking Loloya, "Looks like someone will be very busy. This trip inside East Victory Empire territory will take maybe dozens of days back and forth."

Loloya wore a resigned expression.

To her, laying in the city every day was the best lifestyle; business trips are utterly hellish.

And it's a trip to face an Eternal Frost Imperial robot, quite something.

However.

She seemed to think of something, her eyes revealing a slightly smug look, "Maybe this isn't so bad."

Lilith looked puzzled.

...

"Count Garlande, thanks for taking care of me this time."

In the embassy of East Prosperity Imperial within the Great City, Baiyu grasped the Moon Lady's hand, genuinely expressing gratitude to Count Garlande.

During the time he was away, Count Garlande had been helping care for Moon Lady and Cang Yan, saving him a great deal of trouble. Upon his return, Moon Lady and Cang Yan were well, perhaps even a bit fatter.

Count Garlande was amiable: "What's the thanks for? As an imperial count, helping with such small matters is sensible. Stay for dinner tonight? You probably haven't rested well since coming back from the mission."

Baiyu didn't decline Count Garlande's kindness.

That evening.

The embassy servants began serving a lavish dinner, many dishes rich with high blood qi, valuable. During the meal, Count Garlande kept dropping witty remarks, livening the dining atmosphere.
