A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Mythical Creatures

The token felt weighty in his hand, with a cold touch, leaving its material unknown.

Upon contact, a stream of information flowed into his mind.

[Elite Level Cultivation Token]

[Effect: Accelerates cultivation by thirty times for a duration of twenty-four hours. During this period, there will be no sensation of fatigue, hunger, or drowsiness, and energy will remain at its peak at any accelerated moment. Randomly choose a learning location!]

"Thirty times acceleration, doesn’t that equal thirty days?"

Baiyu felt a bit shocked inside.

Thirty days of peak learning state, with energy remaining at its height, without any negative effects.

It’s akin to receiving thirty days of free learning time.

Just the random choice of learning location seemed a bit odd.

He didn’t fully understand many parts of this scholarly space, such as the enemies in the Dream Battlefield, whether they actually exist or are fabricated illusions.

Ancient War Beast, is there really such an Exotic Beast?

Extraordinary Biology does not contain any information on such Exotic Beasts, of course, it’s likely because Baiyu’s level in Extraordinary Biology is too low, and he cannot access many Extraordinary creatures.

He did not use the token.

After Baiyu recuperated for a while, feeling his state reached its peak, he prepared to continue the challenge of the third level.

This time, the Dream Battlefield lasts eight hours.

A total of three levels.

The first level has no reward and is the easiest to pass.

Back then Baiyu put little effort into it.

The second level, this Ancient War Beast, clearly had a certain standard. Moreover, this is just a weakened version simulated by mist, even its movement attacks were very stiff, lacking any creature’s agility.

If such Exotic Beasts indeed existed, their power would be several times, even tens of times greater.

This time, after winning, Baiyu received a token.

It felt somewhat like the level-clear reward in online games.

"Since the first two levels have nothing to do with the Phoenix, the last level must be this legendary Divine Beast, if not, it should be related somehow."

Baiyu’s thoughts moved, the third level officially commenced.

On the round platform, mist surged, a vast expanse of white, visibility not exceeding one meter.

Within this mist, a red glow gradually emerged.

It was like a flame in the Black Night, extremely dazzling, and getting brighter, a body so massive it bordered on terrifying, revealed in the mist.

Baiyu saw only a chicken head.

Or rather, a creature’s head with about five or six similarities to a chicken’s head.

The crown was covered in red feathers.

Iridescent eyes flickered with little flames.

Wings unfolded in the mist, roughly estimated to have at least a hundred meters wingspan!

Not only was the head covered in red feathers.

The wings, besides having pale yellow tips, were still fiery red in feathers.

An invisible pressure bore down.

Baiyu’s face turned somewhat grim.

Because since just now, his mind kept echoing prompts from the scholarly space.

[You witnessed a mythological creature, Spiritual Contamination Level +1.]

[You witnessed a mythological creature, Spiritual Contamination Level +2.]

[You witnessed a mythological creature, Spiritual Contamination Level +1.]

...

For a long time, there was no change, even the Pollution Level increased by initiating Energy Perception, would decrease after a period.

But this time.

The Pollution Level was genuinely increasing steadily.

And this should only be the mist-simulated Phoenix, if it were a real Phoenix, the Pollution Level would rise more terrifyingly.

"Fighting these mythological creatures, will the Pollution Level continue to rise?"

Baiyu’s face grew more grim.

If this is true, does it mandate defeating the opponent within a certain time?

Can humans really stand a chance fighting such beings?

One-hit knockout?

Glancing at the Phoenix’s body, even larger than the biggest passenger plane.

Ordinary Martial Artist’s attacks would probably be like scratching an itch.

If Erza were to come, she might stand a chance against such terrifying creatures.

Baiyu grabbed the Great Guan Blade, stepped forward, and slashed at the bird’s head, slash... but his Guan Dao instantly broke into mist, leaving the bird’s head completely unscathed.

Not even a trace was left on its feathers.

Getting through this with brute force was certainly impossible!

Baiyu concluded this instantly.

That previous slash vented all his Blood Qi, but evidently, it failed to break any defenses.

Seeing the Phoenix not attacking.

Baiyu was unhurried, standing beneath the bird’s head, scrutinizing the figure of this legendary mythological creature.

The Pollution Level steadily climbed, soon breaking thirty points.

During which Baiyu exited once.

As he suspected, this Pollution Level only applies to the Dream Battlefield. Returning to reality, his Spiritual Contamination Level hadn’t changed.

Confirming the Dream Battlefield doesn’t affect reality, he stood beside the huge bird claws of the Phoenix, observing its fiery red feathers one by one.

Soon.

Pollution Level surpassed seventy points.

Within the Dream Battlefield, Baiyu’s body started sprouting fine, fiery red downy feathers.

Signs of mutation?

Baiyu remained calm.

His thinking was extremely sharp, quick-witted, and in a very good state.

This was his first time experiencing the state of those nearing mutation.

Pollution Level reached eighty points, ninety points, one hundred points!

In just a few minutes, Pollution Level had reached one hundred points. At this moment Baiyu’s entire body was unbearably itchy, covered in feathers like a birdman.

Thoughts had plunged into chaos, even believing himself to be a Phoenix.

Various negative emotions brewed inside.

Even multiple purifications had no effect.

Crack...

The hand that first encountered Demon Paper split open its mouth once more.

Baiyu furrowed his brows, about to exit the Dream Battlefield, but his mist-formed body instantly burst with a sound.

[Challenge failed, duration survived three minutes, progress: 1%!]

A mechanical prompt from the scholarly space echoed above the round platform.

Mist swirled together.

Baiyu appeared once more on the round platform after the failed challenge, the Phoenix’s body also vanished.

"According to space’s description, I merely need to endure a certain duration amidst the Pollution Level brought by the Phoenix? But why is there a progress indicator..."

Baiyu began to contemplate.

After the Phoenix appeared, it made no move, more like a static statue. This indirectly proved the third level wasn’t meant to be resolved by combat.

Baiyu also didn’t think he could solve such terrifying entities with fighting.

To obtain more information, Baiyu once more initiated the challenge.

The Phoenix’s massive body displayed, within the mist, a terrifying pressure descended upon this round platform.

Pollution Level began rising again.

Each time Baiyu perished in the Dream Battlefield, his state would revert to the condition when entering the Dream Battlefield.

Unchanged from last time.

A few minutes later, Baiyu once more exploded into a body feathered all over.

But compared to the first time, he vaguely grasped some conjectures about how to pass this third level, but more verification was still needed.
