Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 253 - 252 Waves

Qian Wangsun smiled and nodded at Zheng Wentian and Le Zhenzi, then patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder, "Big handsome guy, are we still on for late-night snacks tonight?"

Zhou Bai burst into laughter upon hearing the words "big handsome guy", "No problem, no problem, I’ll treat for the late-night snacks."

Ever since he started burning shit, Zhou Bai had accumulated many laziness points and had more allowance to spend, and from time to time treating classmates to meals was his way of taking care of those around him.

From the side, Zuo Dao came over a bit embarrassed, then under Qian Wangsun’s encouraging gaze, looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Zhou Bai, you seem to have gotten even more handsome recently... How about we join you for snacks?"

Zhou Bai laughed heartily, patting Zuo Dao’s shoulder and saying, "Let’s all eat together, considering everyone here is a handsome guy, I’ll make sure you all are well-fed."

Zuo Dao bashfully lowered his head, thinking to himself, ’I can’t believe there’d come a day where I’d have to lie just to eat and to cling to someone powerful...’

Zheng Wentian watched this scene in astonishment, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration, "How did they manage that? How could they manage to freeload off Zhou Bai?" He couldn’t help but feel a bit more wary, "These two... might be even more terrifying than Zhou Bai."

Just then, Jing Xiu came over carrying a tray with more than ten cups of green drink, smiling as she said, "This is a medicinal juice I made in today’s Alchemy class using the residue from Body Refining Pills. Give it a try, it should taste pretty good and it might increase your stamina a little."

Zhou Bai took a bottle and started drinking, feeling like it was as good as Sprite, quite refreshing and tasty.

Qian Wangsun, while drinking, said, "Jing Xiu, you guys on the Tianhe route really have it good, always practicing alchemy and even making concoctions for yourselves, must be profitable, right?"

Jing Xiu replied, "It’s alright, not really profitable. We just practice with the materials provided by Dao School, and most of the finished products have to be submitted."

Zhou Bai nodded, the Tianhe route he was on focused on the cultivation practices around medical arts, poison arts, and alchemy. However, Jing Xiu seemed more interested in medical arts and didn’t study poisons that much.

Xia Li, at the back with two bottles of the drink, gulped them down voraciously and thought to herself while watching Jing Xiu serve others, "Jing Xiu is really nice, if I were a guy, I’d marry her and have delicious food every day."

Lu Wanzhen stood by feeling rather down but managed a forced smile upon receiving a drink from Jing Xiu, then quickly found an opportunity to approach Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, did you hear about Xiao Pei?"

Although according to Lin Muqing’s intel Xiao Pei was secretly taken away, the official news released was that she was sick and taken for treatment.

As someone who grew up with Xiao Pei, Lu Wanzhen was obviously very concerned and, considering Zhou Bai’s status in the school and his closeness to the principals, she couldn’t help but ask him about it.

Facing Lu Wanzhen’s worried gaze, Zhou Bai thought for a moment and said, "Don’t worry, she’s fine."

With Liu Bingxin, Zheng Wentian, and Le Zhenzi joining in, Zhou Bai’s ability to influence others reached near its limit, allowing him to start cultivating more peacefully.

…

Two weeks later, Zhou Bai was looking at Elsa with a happy expression, "Elsa? You’ve reached the second realm?"

Elsa scratched her head, "I don’t know, but the big bones don’t taste like anything anymore."

Christina, hopping onto Elsa’s head, said, "Don’t worry, I’ve asked this silly dog thoroughly, she should already be at 20% Dao integration."

Elsa nodded proudly non-stop, rubbing her head against Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai! Pet me!"

Zhou Bai smiled slightly, patting Elsa’s head, "Elsa, you’re making good progress, even better than the geniuses in the special cultivation class."

Christina added, "Her second realm doesn’t do much; she just got a bit stronger."

Zhou Bai replied, "Elsa is already doing great. Now that she’s in the second realm..."

"Does that mean I can start selling ’Primordial Dao Collection 02’?"

Zhou Bai’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the statue and then at his own panel.

Dao Aptitude: 20.0%

Primordial Spirit Value: 3000

Divine Diagram: Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man

Laziness: 395,000

During this period, Zhou Bai diligently burned excrement every day, accumulating a large amount of laziness value. Coupled with the 500,000 from selling the Primitive Dao Repository 02, he was about to have 895,000 laziness values, indicating that in a few more days, he would gather 1 million laziness values, capable of learning the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword.

After another two weeks of cultivation, the Swordsmanship within the Chengying Sword reached 156 techniques.

With the absorption of so many Swordsmanship techniques, Zhou Bai discovered that the peerless Sword Technique brewing within the Chengying Sword finally had its first rudimentary form.

Star Shattering Sword Swift—with the foundation of 156 Swordsmanship techniques combined with the Sword Intent of "All Swords Broken by Me" and Zhou Bai’s combat style, it was a super high-speed sword move characterized by speed.

During its execution, Zhou Bai used all his means to accelerate, able to push his speed advantage to the limit.

How fast this sword was, Zhou Bai hadn’t exerted his full strength yet, but it was definitely beyond the highest speed he could achieve in the past.

Besides, Zhou Bai’s Sword Intent had progressed again, able to temporarily convert 600 points of Primordial Spirit power into Sword Intent for attacks.

Today, Zhou Bai also sold Primitive Dao Repository 02, reaching a laziness value of 895,000 points.

"Not bad, with this rate, in a week or two I’ll be able to learn the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword. Then, I must consider leaving Dao School to search for the Primitive Dao Repository 03."

That night, Zhou Bai went to the location of the Sky Corridor with a delighted mood, waiting to exchange intelligence with Lin Muqing today.

He was especially keen to ask about any methods for leaving the school, as he had specifically inquired last time.

However, from dusk till dawn, Zhou Bai didn’t wait for Lin Muqing to arrive.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and he went to the front of Lin Muqing’s room door and knocked, "Lin Muqing, are you there?"

With a creaking sound, the door was easily pushed open, Zhou Bai furrowed his brows, channeled his Primordial Spirit power, and cautiously entered the room.

Upon entering, Zhou Bai found the entire house in disarray, with open cabinets and drawers everywhere, seemingly turned upside down by numerous people.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

Zhou Bai furrowed his brow and activated his Primordial Spirit power, scanning in all directions, hoping to find clues.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed, noticing a necklace carelessly thrown on the floor.

"Is this the divination item I got from Jiang Mei last time?" Zhou Bai’s gaze shifted, "Does that mean someone came in and rummaged through Lin Muqing’s belongings, but didn’t realize the importance of this necklace, and treated it as an ordinary item by throwing it on the ground?"

Zhou Bai picked up the necklace, pondering its function, and then saw his Primordial Spirit power being injected into it, "Let me see what exactly happened."

He remembered that this necklace could display past scenes and future possibilities.
