A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 1033 - 1019: Baiyu of the Golden Race
This sudden change caught Baiyu off guard.
He never expected the City Lord would directly send him to the Tidal World.
Very soon.
He found himself in a stone hall.
Everything here was made of stone, with statues of the City Lord standing beside, though their features were unclear, the body and attire were identical to the City Lord.
"Sure enough, it's the Trial Hall."
Loloya also appeared beside him, "Looks like your breakthrough to the Eclipse Moon Realm shouldn't be an issue now. The City Lord even brought out the Trial Hall; I've only been here a few times."
"What kind of place is the Trial Hall?"
Baiyu asked.
Loloya explained, "It's a place for testing, of course, the City Lord's Trial Hall, it's a place everyone dreams of entering.
It will provide all the cultivation resources you need.
Unless the City Lord doesn't have them."
Baiyu was skeptical.
Could there really be such a benefit?
He did not doubt the power of the City Lord, and naturally, the inventory of such a mighty figure would be terrifying beyond words.
Very soon.
Before long, the voice of the City Lord resonated throughout the great hall.
"Baiyu, the existence of the Trial Hall is to help people quickly and without any side effects to breakthrough to high realms. Here, time flows much slower compared to the outer world, roughly at a ratio of 1000 to 1.
That is to say.
While a thousand days pass in the outer world, only a day passes in the Trial Hall.
Next.
Start your journey.
Oh, by the way, every time you die in the Trial Hall, you will be reborn here. But the pain will increase with each death, and although there is no substantial loss, it's best not to die too often, or else it will become unbearable."
The City Lord warned.
Baiyu nodded, walking to the center of the hall, where a beam of light shone on him, and in a dizzying moment, he appeared in another great hall.
This space was vast.
In front of Baiyu was a small stone table with a golden fruit placed on it.
Baiyu suddenly remembered.
Loloya had promised him the Lifeless Grass and the Golden Fruit, which had yet to be settled; once this trial was over, he'd have to urge her to settle up.
This golden fruit.
Apparently was cultivation material provided by the City Lord.
Beside the stone table was a line of small words: The ancient Golden Race possessed invincible power, with adult Golden Race naturally achieving Eclipse Moon Realm strength without cultivation.
The Golden Race is not a specific race.
But refers to beings with Golden Power-laden blood.
They could be humans, or other creatures.
How to become part of the Golden Race.
This was finally understood to be a method of the Golden Race, after trials by many deities.
The Golden Fruit.
This fruit grows on the Golden Fruit Tree, each being exceedingly precious, a treasure of the world.
Your golden blood is not pure.
This time's trial.
You can purify the golden blood and completely become part of the Golden Race. This is the path I once walked, with no danger, and a stable method to enter the Eclipse Moon Realm."
The City Lord explained very thoroughly.
Baiyu didn't hesitate, grabbing the golden fruit and swallowing it.
Soon after.
A mighty power began to spread from his whole body, with an urge that couldn't be suppressed.
At this moment.
The stone sculpture in front of him suddenly moved, then a massive stone warrior, wielding a giant sword, charged at Baiyu.
At this moment, Baiyu felt an endless surge of power.
Facing the oppressive warrior, Baiyu didn't hesitate, charging straight forward.
However.
With unparalleled speed and power, the great sword crushed down, instantly shattering Baiyu into powder.
Amidst a wave of agony.
Baiyu was reborn inside the hall.
"This thing is quite formidable." Baiyu recalled the enormous stone soldier, feeling a shudder.
If encountered in the real world.
He estimated that even with all his might, he would struggle to contend.
Very soon.
Baiyu quickly regained his composure, returning to the hall to launch an assault on the stone soldier again.
Since the City Lord only provided one golden fruit.
That proved,
that just one golden fruit was enough for Baiyu to overcome the stone soldier.
Having set this premise.
Baiyu soon began a series of suicidal assaults.
After twenty deaths, Baiyu finally unleashed the full power of his golden blood, defeating the giant stone warrior.
Though the pain intensified with each death.
However.
Baiyu also gained significantly.
The most direct change was when Baiyu harnessed the power of golden blood, his body's golden transformation gradually extended down to his thighs.
Baiyu entered the next room.
Just like before.
It still had a golden fruit placed here.
After consuming it, another stone creature sprang out.
Immediately.
Another round of brutal combat ensued.
This time Baiyu only died about ten times before passing this stage.
Following this.
Baiyu successively passed five such stages.
Finally.
Once he used the golden power, his entire body would be covered in layers of golden light film, power surged throughout his body, each punch or palm strike would send out golden phantoms.
This was the power of the body after complete golden transformation.
Nevertheless.
Even after complete golden transformation, Baiyu died thirty times before killing the final stone soldier.
After he defeated the last Gatekeeper.
Finally.
He fully mastered the golden blood within him, able to unleash the ultimate power at will.
"Now, can I also be considered a member of the Golden Race?"
In the great hall.
Baiyu looked towards the giant statue of the City Lord in the center.
"Yes, indeed. But, the golden power still requires a long period of adaptation in the future. Now, just with the power of Yellow Level blood, you should be at the Meteor Peak."
The City Lord explained, "This puts you among the ranks of the strong on Canglan Star. Yet, in the entire cosmos, it's still insufficient.
Next.
Comes your official step into the Eclipse Moon Realm.
Which is evolving your Blood and Qi Power."
"What does this mean?"
Baiyu expressed confusion.
"Blood and Qi, that is the core of a martial artist, but blood and qi are merely the initial states, originating from one's blood.
It is a special power generated when blood absorbs Spiritual Qi.
But once reaching the Eclipse Moon Realm, blood and qi can transform into another power, the Power of Destruction. This power still originates from the blood, sharing the essence of blood and qi, being a higher form.
The Power of Destruction possesses more powerful destructive force, enabling the release of more powerful Spirit Techniques, and so on.
The process of transforming blood and qi into the Power of Destruction."
The City Lord elaborated thoroughly.
Baiyu continued asking, "How exactly do I transform it?"
"The specific process, Loloya will instruct you."
After the City Lord said this,
Loloya then emerged from the side.
"Let's go, next we'll conduct hell training." Loloya grinned maliciously, making Baiyu feel a sense of impending trouble.
