A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 866 - 852: Night Market

The one knocking on Baiyu's door was Miss Butterfly. As a member of the attendant guard, she was dressed in neatly polished silver armor, standing at Baiyu's doorstep: "Mr. Bai Feng, today is the day for classes."

As for what class it was.

It was naturally the special course on "Manipulation and Understanding of Golden Blood."

Today's lesson was once again taught by Lilith, as for the City Lord of the Great City, not even a shadow of him was seen. Everyone hoped the City Lord would give a lecture, but so far, not even a shadow of him has been seen.

Which is quite normal, maintaining the operations of such a large city, the City Lord of the Great City has unimaginable daily burdens.

After the class ended, Baiyu's understanding of Golden Blood had increased slightly.

But that was all it did.

The course mainly taught how to control Golden Blood, it didn't increase the amount of Golden Blood within Baiyu's body. Although he learned a lot, it's like a clever wife can't cook without rice, he didn't have much Golden Blood, thus many Divine Powers couldn't be used.

After class.

As Baiyu stepped out, a few people gathered around him. These were students from a special tutoring class. They approached him with the intention of inviting Baiyu to the Great City's night market. Night markets exist everywhere.

Whether it's a developed or undeveloped city, generally, there is always a night market. They are mixed with fish and dragons, having everything. Baiyu thought it over, wanting to find the Lifeless Fruit, the night market might just be a breakthrough.

After all, the Great City's night market surely sells many varied things, what if he just happens to stumble upon it?

This time going to the night market were Ziyi, Celestial Thunder, Green Dragon along with Baiyu, a total of four people.

Though all four wore masks.

But people going to the Great City's night market generally wore masks to conceal their identities.

So the four didn't stand out as unusual.

"It's my first time visiting the Great City's night market as well. A friend told me there are many good things here that can't be bought during the day, including Magic Elixir and Extraordinary Potion, though I haven't personally shopped here."

Ziyi said to the other three while walking in front.

The night market was indeed bustling.

Everywhere were masked people walking around the night market looking for what they needed. Of course, the most popular places in the night market were the red-light districts and gambling dens.

These two places had a constant stream of customers and extremely booming business.

The four young men, being able to attend special training classes, had families with considerable wealth, so they managed to control their desires for women and gambling well. Otherwise, they wouldn't be groomed as successors by their families. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Come on, up ahead seems to be an underground fight tournament. I've heard it's big, with many Martial Artists and Extraordinaries risking their lives, even a few Martial Arts Grandmasters participate," Ziyi pointed out a place.

It was a large circular arena with an open roof, a fist silhouette floated in the sky, somewhat resembling the Battlefield's final's setup, but not as grand as the Battlefield's scale.

"Admission is one Golden Snake Coin per person."

The four of them were stopped by a guard when trying to enter, told to pay an entrance fee. Ziyi cheerfully took four Golden Snake Coins from his pocket, and the guard finally let them pass safely. The inside was extremely lively and crowded.

On stage, two men who looked like martial arts experts were engaged in a life-and-death fight. Soon, one admitted defeat and lost, but the victor did not pursue to the end. The bloodiness of the underground arena was still somewhat lacking compared to the Battlefield.

"Brother Bai Feng, I heard in the Yellow Sand World, you also participated in an arena match, what happened in the end?"

At this moment, the big guy Green Dragon suddenly asked.

When the Battlefield started, Loloya had given everyone a chance to withdraw, Wang Shenghua took the opportunity to leave along with many students from the holy Purple Crystal School.

Those who thought they couldn't win the championship but were of middle to upper strength would voluntarily withdraw.

And Loloya did not prohibit spreading details about the Yellow Sand World, so this trial had gradually spread in school, but most people were unaware of who won.

As long as Baiyu and Loloya didn't speak, no one knew the outcome.

"That arena match was brutal, the average person couldn't withstand it. If given a choice, I'd never again participate in such a life-risking competition." Baiyu's expression was somber, making the three feel uncomfortable to further inquire.

Seeing Baiyu's pained, forlorn look, the three thought he must've experienced some indescribable events in the Yellow Sand World, perhaps even being taken by the big men inside, repeatedly ravaged, leaving him in deep sorrow...

The four chatted idly as they watched the match on stage.

The matches here were rather dull, with the duels seeming like mere tickling to Baiyu and his group.

So they watched for a while and were about to leave.

Suddenly, the spectator stands next to them cracked open, not a mental split, but a physical one. It was unclear if it was a cultist or something else, but a powerful bomb was installed beneath the spectator seats.

Then, as Baiyu and the others witnessed it, over a dozen spectators were blown apart, and this explosive sound sparked panic among all the spectators, especially with the roars that erupted after over a dozen spectators were split.

"The captain is dead, the City Defense Department's captain is dead!"

"Move aside, City Defense Department at work, don't block us."

Several men in City Defense Department armor rushed from the spectator stands, starting to treat the injured.

But this treatment was just for show.

Baiyu clearly saw, those at the explosion center, the dozen or so people, absolutely could not have survived unless they had some sort of special constitution. Otherwise, Baiyu couldn't imagine how scattered flesh could be treated.

As for them shouting the City Defense Department captain's death.

If true, this was evidently a targeted assassination. The City Defense Department manages the entire Great City's security, if any part of it failed, it could potentially lead to a chain reaction.

The ability to host such a large underground fight tournament at the night market clearly shows there's a backer.

A few minutes later.

A large number of City Defense Department soldiers rushed in through various exits, firmly controlling the entire scene and not allowing anyone to leave before being questioned. Even those who fled were blocked back by the City Defense Department soldiers.
