A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 249: The Battle Concludes

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: The Battle Concludes

Most people were intimidated by the strange giant handgun in Baiyu’s hand. Perhaps a swarm tactic could defeat him in close quarters, but it would undoubtedly result in a terrifying number of eliminations.

In such a situation, no one wanted to be cannon fodder.

Especially since being eliminated might mean not even having a rank.

No one dared to step forward.

After loading the bullets, Baiyu didn’t continue the fight but leisurely moved to the center of the plaza, quietly waiting for the contest to end.

No one dared to challenge him anymore.

He even had an ample space cleared around him.

Everyone clearly held a deep aversion to him.

At this moment, Jiang Xi had just easily dealt with his opponent, and the two of them joined forces, making their combined strength even more daunting for those around them.

The teacher maintaining order shook his head.

Originally, he wanted to see how much potential these students had.

But with a freak like Baiyu, even those with real strength to go head-to-head with him, like Yuwen Yundie, wouldn’t go all out against him.

"Li Mingfeng was a bit impulsive; dealing with the top scorer in the entire county’s college entrance exam isn’t that easy."

The teacher shook his head.

Though the contest on the plaza remained intense.

Baiyu’s surroundings were eerily quiet, and the people nearby watched him with complex gazes.

If a student can’t even muster the courage to challenge another, then a leader will quickly establish themselves, and the competition won’t be as exciting as in previous years.

Students fighting and comparing against each other, especially for top students, is the fastest way to improve.

It’s the method to decide leadership status.

...

On the other side.

On the playground of Celestial South Martial Arts University.

Everyone was somewhat stunned as they watched the scene projected from the "Endless World."

Especially as Baiyu single-handedly took on about twenty people, his mastery of that handgun was almost magical, nearly reaching an artistic level.

Together with that otherworldly charisma and good looks.

He instantly captivated the entire plaza.

"He not only trained in Body Technique Spirit Technique but also in Protective Spirit Techniques, specifically to handle close combat situations. As long as he’s not restricted in close quarters, he can display his full potential!"

"Yes, that Demon Ape Martial Intent earlier clearly had a function of intimidating others.

This is the Martial Intent that gunmasters always favor.

For escaping, self-defense, pursuit, combat—all sorts of uses, it’s a versatile Martial Intent.

And the layer of energy around him, if I’m not mistaken, should be a variant of the Ice Armor Technique. I wonder which master modified a new Spirit Technique; there hasn’t been any information on this before."

"This kind of Spirit Technique is definitely a top secret; how could it be made public!"

"But is it really okay for him to wield a weapon like that? Everyone else is unarmed....."

A group of freshmen, who had already been eliminated, gossiped on the playground.

Li Mingfeng was among them.

However, now he looked at the scene in the sky indignantly, his face flushed and feeling humiliated.

If he didn’t have to choose a master later, he would have left already.

"Baiyu... humph, I’ll definitely surpass you!"

Li Mingfeng gritted his teeth.

In the mentor’s area, opinions about Baiyu’s conduct were mixed, with most contention on whether Baiyu should have used firearms.

Some mentors believed there was no prohibition in school regulations.

And the rules for the entrance exam didn’t prohibit the use of firearms.

But other mentors felt that the entrance exam should be fair, with everyone else not using weapons. Using one so blatantly to eliminate freshmen was a severe injustice to the others.

Some even argued up to the level of the four deans.

"Alas, Baiyu didn’t violate school regulations or entrance exam rules, so theoretically, there’s no way to address this, and instead, he cleverly used the rules.

Moreover.

The purpose of the entrance exam is for students to showcase their potential, and Baiyu accomplished that.

Even if the method wasn’t what the other mentors expected.

But us old folks, we actually need some young people to bring some novelty, so Celestial South Martial Arts University can change."

Gu Peng smiled slightly, obviously not opposed to Baiyu’s use of firearms.

"However, speaking of which.

The kid really is quite arrogant; he needs to be knocked down a peg, lest he influences the school’s atmosphere badly with his individualism."

Gu Peng remarked.

Even if other mentors had differing opinions, they didn’t continue the discussion.

With Baiyu’s demonstration of brilliance, even though many freshmen had impressive performances in later contests, none were as shocking as his one-against-twenty fight.

Simply put.

It lacked that unique flavor.

Some eager sophomore and junior older students were already quietly discussing on the school forum about electing Baiyu as the new campus heartthrob.

The topic was really gaining traction.

For the more than a dozen people who were eliminated by Baiyu, hearing the surrounding discussions made them feel as if they had swallowed flies; it wasn’t just that his skills surpassed theirs, but this guy was also so well-liked.

Is being handsome such a big deal!

Does being handsome mean you can do whatever you want?!

This is unreasonable!!

The dozen muscular bros, who should have been heroes challenging Baiyu the Great Demon King, at least deserving a commendation for courage and some senior students’ encouragement or admiration from fellow female students.

But now, the subject of discussion among the students on the entire playground was focused on Baiyu.

The dozen bros could only silently lick their internal wounds on the sidelines, drawing small circles internally to curse Baiyu.

"Humph, are you giving up after just one failure?"

A voice filled with disappointment rang out.

Everyone looked up.

Li Mingfeng’s gaze was condescending, filled with deep disdain.

"Li Mingfeng, didn’t Baiyu also blow your head off, and now you’re ridiculing us!"

"Exactly, what qualifies you to judge us."

A dozen people snapped angrily.

Li Mingfeng sighed, "I am not ridiculing you, just a bit angry at your lack of resolve. One failure and you’re giving up? The spirit of Martial Dao is to never give up!

It’s not the first time I’ve lost to Baiyu.

However.

I did not fall, instead, I grew more courageous with each battle.

One day, I will become his nightmare!

I came here.

To remind you, instead of being a cornered dog licking its wounds, why not stand up where you fell.

Ask yourselves, if you really got close to Baiyu, would you still be no match for him?

He merely holds some advantages, not invincible!"

Li Mingfeng’s gaze shifted to the projection on the high platform nearby:

"The contest is over, I need to go find a suitable mentor. If you let this one failure break you, then I suggest you go home and become a farmer."

He coldly dropped these words and turned to leave.

The remaining dozen people all fell silent.

Right!

We can’t let this guy climb over us; we must defeat him!

At this moment.

A large number of freshmen’s Spirit Bodies returned from the "Endless World," coming back to their physical bodies.

Everyone touched their bodies, clearly astonished by the magic of the Sealing Object, and of course, only Baiyu knew, this Sealing Object was surely related to a Divine Spirit.

Very likely, it was the Divine Spirit’s Divine Country!
