Baiyu snapped shut the "Ancient Martial Arts: The Close Connection Between Spiritual Power and Martial Artists" in his hand, slowly exhaled the pent-up breath in his chest, and let his consciousness enter the scholar's space in his mind.
Various negative emotions were suppressed by him.
These negative emotions were only temporarily suppressed in his heart.
If the pressure isn't released, it will accumulate more and more, eventually leading to terrible consequences.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the elite task!]
Evaluation: Perfect. Diligent study and exploration are what make a true scholar.
Rewards: 310 points of Mysticism knowledge, 150 points of Spiritual Arts knowledge, 120 points of Ancient Martial Arts knowledge! Spiritual Technique Scroll: Armstrong Rotary Accelerator Jet Vibration Cannon.
Ancient Martial Arts of the Human Body discipline experience is full, upgraded to LV1!
Upgrade reward: Body's vigor increased to 150 cal, Ancient Martial Arts aptitude increased to LV1, and a random reward of a "Scholar Secret Technique" from the Ancient Martial Arts side!
A series of messages were displayed next to the taskbar in the scholar's space.
On the large screen in the front of the space, his Ancient Martial Arts of the Human Body had been upgraded to Level One, with twenty points of Ancient Martial Arts Discipline experience remaining.
"Experience is reset to zero after upgrading, and only the overflow is saved."
"Each upgrade grants a specific directional improvement and specific rewards. However, my Mysticism, Spiritual Arts, and Magic Elixir reached Level One before the system was activated, so I didn't receive any rewards."
Baiyu grimaced, pulling open the drawer below the prize wheel.
This was the only drawer in the entire space.
Whether it was task rewards or prize items, if they were tangible, they were all put in there.
There was a scroll about the size of a sheet of paper,
It was the "Armstrong Rotary Accelerator Jet Vibration Cannon."
With this name full of punch lines, Baiyu once again felt the system's malicious intent brimming.
[Category: Consumable Spiritual Technique Scroll]
[Effect: Fires a powerful spiritual power vibration cannon, causing devastating damage to enemies in the sky!]
[Note: Remember, it can only attack overhead. It achieves maximum power when aimed at a forty-five-degree angle into the sky.]
"What kind of mad setting is this."
Baiyu's hand trembled.
It can only attack overhead?
Am I supposed to dig a hole in battle to use it under the enemy's feet?
"No, there are no useless people, only useless techniques. This thing must be useful; I'll have to figure out how to use it when I have time."
Baiyu put the scroll aside for the time being and then picked up the bottle of weirdly labeled Sprite from the drawer.
[True Knowledge Sprite]
[Category: Mystical Consumable]
[Effect: Drinking it grants a Scholar Secret Technique from the Ancient Martial Arts side!]
[Note: A scholar knowing martial arts, nothing can stop it, hum huh ha ha!]
"The notes make you want to complain more and more, by the way, what exactly is the Scholar Secret Technique?"
Intense curiosity rose in Baiyu's heart.
He just stayed in the space, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.
As the Sprite hit his mouth, a flood of indescribable strong information surged into his mind.
[Scholar Secret Technique: Purification]
Description: The secret technique enhances its effect as the corresponding subject level increases; a subject can have no more than two Scholar Secret Techniques!
Effect: It eliminates various negative and passive emotions to an extent, bringing tranquility and generating positive, optimistic, and progressive thoughts!
Note: Smile a bit, yes, just like that, open your mouth.
Baiyu was somewhat dumbfounded by the effect of the Scholar Secret Technique.
Originally, he thought it would be some martial arts secret techniques like "Mountain of Books Has No Road, Sword" or "Sea of Learning Has No Bounds, Palm," but it turned out to be a support skill?
But this effect seems to be a divine skill!
Baiyu exited the scholar space.
Yue Zian was already lying on the desk, asleep.
"Let's try if this skill is useful."
Baiyu snapped his fingers and skillfully purified himself.
A surge of warmth rose from his dantian at this moment, spreading instantly throughout his body with his blood. His whole body was warm, as if bathed in holy light.
"This feels too good, so light all over."
The negative emotions Baiyu had accumulated from studying and hadn't released were instantly swept away at this moment.
His mind was clear, fatigue swept away, making him want to purify again.
"This secret technique is kind of addictive..."
After confirming there were no issues, Baiyu woke up the sleeping Yue Zian.
"Huh, it's already dark?"
He looked around in confusion.
Then his gaze landed on Baiyu, who looked spirited and showed no signs of fatigue, and his face flushed red, finally spitting out two words: "Pervert!"
"Even if you're jealous of my talent, you don't have to use such a crude method to get my attention." Baiyu rolled his eyes.
"Who wants your attention, jerk? Sitting for eight hours straight, if you're not a pervert, what are you? If someone told me one day that you mutated, I wouldn't be surprised at all!"
Yue Zian fumed in indignation.
Such a creature, totally inhuman.
It's better not to know about some things.
Once you do, it leads to deep despair.
Yue Zian found himself in such despair.
Baiyu never expected that the sight of him studying would hit people so hard.
But he thought again.
He then discreetly cast a purification on Yue Zian.
Yue Zian instantly felt a surge of warmth rising from his dantian, the spreading warmth flowing through him felt like bathing in warm sunlight, indescribably comfortable.
Soon, someone cast a curious glance.
Yue Zian quickly shut his mouth, blushing, but a burning fighting spirit reignited in his eyes.
"Baiyu, even knowing you're a pervert, I won't give up surpassing you! The only way to beat a pervert is to be even more perverted."
He gritted his teeth, a look of fervent determination on his face.
"That's more like it."
Purification's effect was beyond his expectations; it not only dispelled negative emotions but also gave people a boost.
"Did you eat?" Baiyu asked again.
"I followed you to the library after class in the morning, didn't even have lunch."
"Together? I know a place with good rice noodles."
"Rice noodles? I haven't had that in a while, let's go."
"Ah, you brought money, right?"
"You didn't bring any money?"
"Kind of mooching, my family had some issues, didn't even bring my phone."
"Jerk, using that tone like cheating, it's impossible to refuse!"
The two exchanged words as they walked out of the library.
After enjoying a meal of rice noodles, Baiyu didn't return to the hotel.
Instead, he went to Lin Shan's house.
It's a villa, not too big or small.
Right next to the hotel he stayed at, in a spot with few people, away from the bustling city.
There were four investigators in the entire Linjiang City, each responsible for one of the four major districts.
After all, it's difficult for a single person to handle the vast Anomaly Bureau.
"This woman is too stingy; with such a big villa, she let me stay in a hotel. Do I look like someone who would try to make a move on her?"
Baiyu thought of the female tyrannosaur's tactics.
Whoever intends to make a move on her would probably get their limbs broken; there shouldn't be any such warrior, right?
