A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 243: The Moth of All Beings

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: The Moth of All Beings

Baiyu didn’t have a GPA; he entered the shooting range by directly paying for it.

Because his student card wasn’t processed yet, he needed to wait until after the entrance exam and the division into departments to officially become a student of Celestial South Martial Arts University.

Time quickly passed by.

Baiyu had a comfortable past couple of days.

Each day he practiced shooting, rested, and spent the remaining time in the library, searching for information on rare transcendent creatures.

After searching around, he found nothing.

However, a book titled "Imperial Wanted List" caught his attention.

It listed mostly extremely dangerous criminals who had caused immense damage to the Empire.

Kaz was quite honored to be on the list.

This book is revised monthly.

The news of Kaz’s death hadn’t made it in yet.

"Moth of All Beings?"

"Frosty Winter Secret Meeting?"

"Blood-colored Chalice?"

As Baiyu looked at the list of various Secret Sects, for the first time, he knew that besides the Abyssal Ascetic Association, there were so many other cults that were no less notorious.

There were Exotic Beasts and alien races outside; inside, there were various cults.

That the East Prosperity Imperial hasn’t collapsed but is instead at its peak is indeed a miracle.

[You have acquired information on a super rare creature, current data collection progress (2/10)]

[You have obtained 200 Extraordinary Biology knowledge points!]

The alert from the Scholar’s Space suddenly rang in his mind.

Baiyu moved slightly, his gaze fixing on the book in his hand.

It was a gray-white moth, with patterns on its wings that were not alike. Upon close inspection, it seemed like one side had a smiling face while the other side had a crying face.

Moth of All Beings.

That was its name.

It’s also the creature that the pagan sect Moth of All Beings worships, and the emblem of the whole sect.

"Not all sects worship gods; some might worship ancient, bizarre transcendent beings. Of course, gods themselves are just powerful creatures."

Baiyu was very clear on this point.

These gods were nothing more than powerful beings. As long as he could continue to learn and improve, there was no reason he couldn’t witness their true forms.

He flipped through a few more books.

The progress on the Elite Level task hadn’t changed. Finding rare creatures wasn’t a simple task, and stumbling across one by chance was a rare occurrence.

Baiyu placed the book back on the shelf and left.

Shortly after he left, a fair hand pulled the book out.

The book was flipped to the page about the Moth of All Beings, and a murmuring voice arose: "The Moth of All Beings exists in every common being’s thoughts and dreams. Only those truly possessing divinity can discover its existence."

Following that.

The hand lightly swiped.

The image on the page gradually began to blur, and then turned into an ordinary moth picture.

...

September 4th.

The entrance exam for Celestial South Martial Arts University officially commenced.

On the big sports field of Celestial South Martial Arts University, each student stood in their own small groups, densely packed, and very lively.

Even though only three short days had passed.

These newly enrolled students had already started forming their own small circles.

Whether joining the same club, coming from the same place, or being a group gathered by a notable new student leader.

All in all.

Various methods divided these new students into various groups.

In the middle of the field was where the Masters waited.

Celestial South Martial Arts University adopted a tailored teaching approach. The top 200 in each entrance exam were taught individually by a Master, with one Master generally taking one to three students for precise guidance.

After the top 200.

The class system teaching was then implemented.

Generally, two to three Masters were assigned to a group of dozens, creating a vast disparity in the level of teaching resources available.

Nobody claimed this system was unfair.

Because in the world of Martial Artists, fairness doesn’t exist.

You have to fight for what you want on your own.

Martial Arts Schools already follow an elite route, serving as the cradle for nurturing the top human race powerhouses. If true resource fairness were the goal, joining the military would be the best choice for these students.

The military follows a common system of cultivation, winning through numbers.

At present.

The sunrise was just beginning.

A group of students, with excited and eager eyes, occasionally glanced toward the center of the field, where many Masters were already chatting leisurely on their chairs.

Some were commenting on this year’s students, while others discussed academic questions.

In the very center of the high platform, a Priest wearing a black robe with a circle-cross pattern was standing still.

Judging by appearance, it seemed to be a member of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics.

Being able to stand on the central platform, combined with today’s special occasion, this person’s status in the Church seemed notably high.

Today was both the opening ceremony and the entrance exam.

Everyone was waiting for the school’s real high-ranking figures.

But as time ticked away second by second, other than the member of the Church on the platform, no one else appeared.

The discussions began to grow louder and louder.

Baiyu stood in a corner of the sports field.

Right before him, Qiong Xue was wearing a snow-white long garment, a wooden sword hanging at her waist, her long black hair loosely draping down her back as she lay lazily sleeping on a table.

In front of each new student group, there was a senior student maintaining order.

The others sat upright and serious.

Only Qiong Xue was snoring away.

Her extraordinary temperament and appearance quickly attracted the gaze of many new students.

"Is she the former president of the Kendo Club?"

Beside Baiyu.

A melodious voice rang out.

He nodded, turned around, and looked at Ning Qian: "That person is literally a laziness incarnate; stay away from her, laziness is contagious."

It was something Baiyu did not expect, that Ning Qian would enter Celestial South Martial Arts University.

He originally thought she would choose Maple Leaf Martial Arts University.

But last night, the foolish woman called Baiyu to tell him that her dad had bribed a powerful Master at Celestial South Martial Arts University, and then she directly transferred there.

Perhaps this was the privilege of the wealthy.

It’s said that Ning Fugui had provided a lot of sponsorships and investments to Celestial South Martial Arts University; switching schools for her might just be a matter of a simple request.

"They’re here."

At this moment.

Jiang Xi, standing beside, coldly stated.

Four people walked up to the central platform in the bright morning light, under the watchful eyes of all the new students.

Following that.

A formulaic opening speech followed by the four announcing themselves briefly.

These were the deans of the four major academies.

Mysterious Academy’s Gu Peng.

Ancient Martial Arts Academy’s Lin Qingsong.

Research Academy’s Su Ruji.

Manufacturing Academy’s Ye Sheng.

These four academies were the main academies of Celestial South Martial Arts University. There were also many smaller academies, with the deans usually being part-time Masters.

After the brief introduction was over.

Gu Peng stepped to the front of the stage, his voice spreading like ripples across the entire plaza:

"Fellow students, welcome to Celestial South Martial Arts University."

"This entrance exam will determine which department you belong to, what kind of knowledge you will acquire, and even who your Master will be. Therefore, I hope each one of you takes it seriously.

The rules for the entrance exam are simple.

The top 200 students will have the right to choose their Master individually.

At the same time.

Due to the limited number of admissions each academy can take each year.

The higher your rank, the more likely you are to choose the academy you desire.

As for the content of the assessment...

It’s simple.

Whoever can last the longest in our Celestial South Martial Arts University’s S Level sealing object ’Endless World’, will have the highest rank!"
