A Top Scholar in Everything (ATSIE) - Chapter 10
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky had darkened.
Bai Yu closed yet another book in satisfaction — The Ancient Martial Arts Theory: The Close Connection Between Spiritual Power and Martial Artist. With a bang of the book shutting, he slowly exhaled the pent-up energy in his chest. His consciousness entered the top student’s space in his mind.
He was currently suppressing all kinds of negative emotions. These negative emotions were only temporarily suppressed in his heart.
If he did not release the pressure, sooner or later, more and more negative emotions would accumulate, causing terrible consequences.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the elite mission!]
[Completion rate: 100%.]
[Evaluation: Perfect. Only by studying hard and exploring diligently can one become a true top student.]
[Reward: 310 points awarded in Mysticism knowledge points, 150 points in Spirit Arts knowledge points, 120 points in ancient martial arts knowledge points! Spiritual Scroll — Armstrong Jet Cannon.]
…
[Ancient Martial Arts subject increased to Level 1!]
[Upgraded Reward: Body’s resilience improved by 150 points, Ancient Martial Arts aptitude increased to Level 1, random reward of ancient martial arts earned — Top Scholar’s Secret Art!]
…
A series of information appeared next to the top scholar’s mission bar. On the huge screen in front of the space, his Ancient Martial Arts had been upgraded to Level 1, leaving him with 20 points of Ancient Martial Arts subject experience.
“After upgrading, the experience points will be reset to zero. Only the excess points will be saved.
“Every time I upgrade, I will receive a certain upgrade and a specific reward. However, my Mysticism, Spiritualism, and Potionology have already reached level 1 before I activated the system, so I didn’t receive any rewards.
“This is a loss!”
With a dark face, Bai Yu pulled open the drawer under the lottery roulette where the rewards were kept.
This was the only drawer in the entire space.
Whether it was the mission rewards or the lucky draw items, as long as they were physical, they would all be placed inside.
He pulled open the drawer.
Inside was a scroll about the size of a toilet paper
It was the Armstrong Jet Cannon.
Of course, Bai Yu once again felt the system’s malice towards excessively naming items.
[Item: Armstrong Jet Cannon]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Type: Consumable Spiritual Scroll]
[Effect: Fires a powerful spiritual wave cannon, dealing a devastating blow to the enemy in the sky!]
[Amno: 2/2]
[Remark: Remember, it can only hit the top of the head. When it looks up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, it can unleash its greatest power.]
“What kind of b*stard setting is this?”
Bai Yu’s hands were trembling.
Only headshots were allowed?
Was he going to dig a hole during the battle and use it under the enemy’s feet?
“No, it’ll only hold me back. There’s no way it could work… Right? I’ll just keep it just in case I need it in the future.”
Bai Yu first put the scroll aside, then picked up a potion with a strange brand in the drawer.
He assumed that it was sprite.
[Item: True Knowledge Sprite]
[Quality: Epic]
[Type: Mysterious Consumable]
[Effect: after drinking, you will receive a copy of the ancient martial arts elite’s secret technique! ]
[Remarks: Elite students can now learn martial arts, no one can stop them!]
“These remarks make me want to complain more and more. By the way, what exactly is a scholar’s secret technique?”
Bai Yu was very curious. He opened the bottle cap in his space and gulped it down in one go.
The moment the sprite entered his mouth, an indescribable amount of information surged into his mind.
[Top Scholar’s Secret Art: Purification]
[Description: The effect of the secret art will increase as the level of the corresponding subject increases. A subject at most has no more than two top student secret art in it!]
[Effect: To a certain extent, it eliminates all kinds of negative and harsh emotions. It calms one’s mind and creates positive and optimistic thoughts of striving for success!]
[Remark: Smile. Yes, show me your smile!]
“This…”
Bai Yu was a little stunned by the effect of the Top Scholar’s Secret Art.
He had thought that it was some ultimate martial arts technique like the Road of Swords or the Boundless Sea of Information, but in the end, it gave him a support skill?
It was of no matter, because this effect seemed to be a godly skill!
Bai Yu exited his Brainiac Space.
Yue Zian was already lying on the table and falling asleep.
“Let’s see if this skill works.”
Bai Yu snapped his fingers and skillfully cleansed himself. A warm current rose from his mind at this moment, spreading to his entire body along with his blood. His entire body felt warm, as if he was bathed in holy light.
“This feeling feels good, and my body feels light. That’s… a lot of feeling.”
The negative emotions that Bai Yu had accumulated from learning and had not had time to release disappeared in an instant.
Relaxed! He felt extremely relaxed!
His mind was clear, and his fatigue had been swept away. He could not help but want to purify himself once more.
“This Top Scholar’s Secret Art seems to be a little overwhelming…”
After confirming that there were no more problems, Bai Yu woke up Yue Zian who was sleeping soundly.
“Oh, it’s turned dark out?”
He looked around blankly. Then his gaze fell on Bai Yu, who was in high spirits and without the slightest abnormality. His face flushed red, and after a long time, he said two words, “You pervert!
“Even if you’re jealous of my talent, you don’t have to use such a clumsy method to get my attention.”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes.
“No one wants to get your attention. You were the one that watched me study for eight hours. So that means you’re the pervert. If someone were to tell me that you were sent to the mental institution one day, I wouldn’t be surprised at all!”
Yue Zian was indignant.
How could there be such a person? It was completely inhuman.
It would be fine if he did not understand some things, but he understood what he meant and was now in deep despair.
Bai Yu had never expected that the scene of him learning would have such a huge impact on others, he felt a little bad looking at Yue Zian. Then, quietly, he threw a purification onto Yue Zian.
“Woah…”
Yue Zian only felt a warm current rising from his body. His entire body was affected by the spreading warm current, making him feel as if he was bathing in warm sunlight. It was extremely comfortable.
Very soon, someone cast a surprised look at him.
Yue Zian quickly shut his mouth. His face was flushed red, but his eyes were burning with a fighting spirit.
“Bai Yu, even if you are a pervert, I will not give up on surpassing you! The only way to defeat a pervert is to be even more perverted than them.”
He gritted his teeth and had a passionate expression on his face.
“That’s more like it.”
Bai Yu smiled.
The effect of the purification was beyond his expectations. Not only could it dispel negative emotions, it also gave people a motivational boost.
“Have you eaten?” Bai Yu asked.
“I followed you to the library after class this morning. I didn’t even have lunch.”
“Want to eat together? I know a place that has good rice noodles.”
“Rice noodles? I haven’t eaten that for a long time. Let’s go.”
“Yeah, you brought money, right?”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t?”
“I’m freeloading. I’ve got a problem at home. I don’t even have my phone with me.”
“B*stard, you’re toying with me! But since you asked for my help, I can’t refuse. Let’s go.”
The two of them walked out of the library while they spoke.
…
After enjoying a good meal, Bai Yu did not return to the hotel. Instead, he went to Lin Shan’s house.
It was neither too big or too small of a place. It was right next to the hotel where he was staying. Not many people lived around this area.
There were a total of four investigators in Linjiang City, each in charge of the four major city districts. After all, it was difficult for a single person to work in such a big city alone.
“This woman is stingy. Hey place is so big, and she actually let me stay in a hotel. Do I look like someone who would plot against her?”
Bai Yu thought of that terrifying tyrannosaurus rex and came to a conclusion. A man who wanted to plot against her would probably have his limbs broken..
