CHAPTER 351: CHAPTER 351: ATTEMPTING NIGHTMARE DIFFICULTY

Lin Qingsong’s worries were not unfounded.

The fact that there are spies within such an important organization like the student council makes it hard to imagine the extent of infiltration in other places.

After Baiyu and the others returned, Lin Qingsong took so long to arrive because he was investigating the moles within the student council.

The two recounted the entire process in detail.

The more he listened.

The more Lin Qingsong’s face darkened.

"Monsters emerging from their bodies after death, showing signs of mutation, yet it’s not really a mutation... This is likely the result of being parasitized by a special magic creature."

He furrowed his brows, looking at a report on the table.

Wumian Mansion.

One of the major demon forces, the actual rulers behind the Demon Race and Ghost-faced Race.

They never act directly.

Demon battles involve higher-level tactics.

For these matters.

Eternal Sleep City usually handles them.

"It seems we need to notify people from Eternal Sleep City, and also contact the Church if they can spare manpower, that would be ideal. But currently, the Church is maintaining stability in Zenith City, so they might not have extra forces."

Lin Qingsong thought for a moment before finally making up his mind.

This matter.

Needs to be handled by Eternal Sleep City.

The demon’s concealment methods are far beyond those of other races, impossible to detect in a short time.

Only Eternal Sleep City, with its long years of fighting demons, can accurately deal with them.

As the saying goes.

Only magic can counter magic.

"You all should go and rest first.

Remember, it’s best not to go out during this time, things outside are chaotic too.

Even the City Lord is planning to implement the layered city management system."

Lin Qingsong warned again.

Zenith City has seven layers, each functioning as an independent metropolis, with daily commutes being extremely convenient.

However, once layered management is implemented, population flow will drastically reduce.

This is the emergency procedure.

"It seems the severity of this matter surpasses my imagination, but Zenith City is not Linjiang City.

As the County City of Maple Leaf County.

It houses the headquarters of the Church of the God of Steam and Mechanics, the Eternal Church.

It has two major Martial Arts Schools and a powerful military garrison."

Baiyu never visited the Shelter in Zenith City.

But one can imagine.

The protective forces inside must be extremely formidable.

Let them handle these headaches, someone as insignificant as me can’t make much of a difference.

Baiyu thought to himself.

What he most wanted to do now was to upgrade his knowledge system and become an apprentice in the Prayer Technique, acquiring the subsequent Magic Elixirs of Sequence Eight.

This is very challenging.

In his path as a martial artist, he had reached Tier Seven, advancing further means stepping into the Elite Level.

However.

This step is not easy to take.

Especially since Baiyu always believed that the Extraordinary and Martial Dao were two paths that could coexist, like the two legs of a person.

With two legs one can run fast.

But if one leg is too long and the other too short, the result of running would be a fall.

Therefore.

He urgently needed to enhance his knowledge of mysticism.

And the places where knowledge could be quickly acquired, besides the school’s library, were Yi Xian, and the Scholar’s Space...

Ever since his strength increased, he had relied less on the space’s abilities.

Indeed, he should go and check it out.

Baiyu and Qiong Xue parted ways outside the administrative office. Qiong Xue needed to return to the Qiong Family to seemingly warn them to prepare.

Even though the City Lord planned to implement layered management.

It’s still possible to enter and exit for now, and even after the implementation, someone of Qiong Xue’s status can still move freely.

Baiyu did not want to visit the Qiong Family.

Even though he still had opportunities to use the Dream Bell in his hand, he felt he had mastered enough Spirit Techniques for now.

In fact, even the Spirit Techniques recorded in his solid diary were enough to dazzle anyone.

For a long period ahead, he wouldn’t need to acquire more Spirit Techniques from Qiong Meng.

Though the Qiong Family Patriarch often invited him over, Baiyu was accustomed to freedom, and the Qiong Family’s endless etiquette was exhausting.

Not to mention.

He didn’t seem to have much to talk about with the peers in the Qiong Family.

And he was rather busy.

So Baiyu seldom went there.

"Alright, if you need any help, feel free to notify me at any time..." Baiyu stopped mid-sentence, shaking his head.

What could a long-established family like the Qiong Family possibly need his help with?

"Hmm, you take care of yourself."

The two parted at the administrative office.

Baiyu first returned to his apartment, ensured everything was in order, and his consciousness entered the Scholar’s Space.

The distant, deep starry sky exuded an enchanting charm, with the entire space’s background quietly transforming into a star chart.

In the southwest corner of the space.

The entrance to the Dream Battlefield lay there silently, resembling a coffin made out of dark wood.

The Dream Battlefield only had one selectable scene.

The Biological Cultivation Room.

It was the breeding place for the Blood Worm mother body.

White Yu kept it there to rest when not using it.

Speaking of the Blood Worm mother body.

Baiyu turned his gaze to his task panel again.

It had been a long time since he’d visited it.

On it.

The Elite Level task still showed as incomplete, the normal ones were dark gray, and the Nightmare Difficulty ones were deep red.

"I still have enough points."

Baiyu pondered.

His Blood Qi had reached the limit of a Tier Seven Martial Artist, which was 9999 cards, just one card short of breaking the ten-thousand threshold.

As for Spiritual Value.

Through various exposures during this time, it had reached 600 pas.

Though he didn’t know if that was high or low compared to others, his Blood Qi was at a solid limit for the current stage.

"Can I increase it using points directly?"

Baiyu wanted to try.

Previously, he could use points to directly increase Blood Qi and Spirit, the only limit was his endurance capacity.

With a thought.

But in the Blood Qi attribute section, no plus sign appeared.

The Scholar’s Space had apparently determined he wasn’t yet capable of enduring such an enhancement.

Having failed to add points.

Baiyu moved his gaze to the Raffle and Task sections.

The Magic Elixir Recipe for his Prayer Technique apprentice was acquired from here; to advance to Sequence Eight, it seemed he’d still have to rely on it.

For a while.

Baiyu focused on the Nightmare Difficulty task.

The reward was unknown.

Previously, the Scholar Space’s warning had disappeared, indicating that the space deemed him capable enough to handle the Nightmare difficulty task.

However, Baiyu still felt a bit uncertain.

"Spiritual Power is the key to resisting the mysterious..."

Baiyu’s gaze fell on his mental attribute.

Six hundred pas.

But clearly, there was room for improvement, unlike the Blood Qi, which couldn’t be enhanced.

Baiyu sat cross-legged, began to consume points, and gradually increased his spiritual power bit by bit.

The process wasn’t easy.

Every increase.

He could feel a void-like buzzing in his mind, a silent tremor, but the Scholar Space inherently blocked out those sinister whispers.

Thus, Baiyu’s rough, force-feeding-like manner of boosting spiritual power hadn’t caused any significant issues.
