Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 284 - 283 Backflow Discussion Again (Thanks to the alliance leader ’Zhi Ai Xiao Bai’ for the reward)
"Damn!"
When Zhou Bai realized what had happened, he had already returned to half an hour earlier.
It was the moment of his death, and the gemstone had automatically triggered Time Reverse.
At the same time, Christina also returned to Zhou Bai’s mind, in a shrunken state, carried by the celestial disaster diagram of Heaven.
"Damn," Christina said with a frightened expression, "Has this old woman gone crazy? She actually just killed me? Did I steal her man in a past life?"
Zhou Bai thought displeasedly,"If you stole her man, why did she kill me too?"
Christina said seriously,"Didn’t they say you are my bloodline? Maybe you are my son. She saw me and then saw you, and with old and new grudges flooding back, she killed us both, mother and son."
"Get lost, keep spouting nonsense and I’ll pluck you bald," Zhou Bai took a few deep breaths, suppressing the discomfort from being killed, and looked around. He was exactly on his way to meet the elder with a sack of secret texts.
Zhou Bai, "She didn’t immediately strike when she first saw you. That means the elder doesn’t have any ill intentions toward Christina."
Christina, "But after she scanned me with her Primordial Spirit power, she killed both of us right away."
Zhou Bai, "It means she only acted after sensing your condition."
Speaking of Christina’s condition, Zhou Bai had always found it quite fascinating.
Christina could stay indefinitely in Zhou Bai’s mind, even cultivate there, and didn’t need to eat. In the external world, she could return to her own mental realm like a wisp of blue smoke.
Especially in the Material World, she could behave like a normal cat, being petted, having her hair trimmed, taking baths, and such.

It didn’t seem like any ordinary life at all.
"So she acted after seeing my condition?" Christina, "Is my condition that hateful? Can we investigate this direction later?"
"That will have to wait for later. The gemstone is still cooling down, and I dare not mention your matter to Jiaojiao again."
Next, he and Christina discussed why the elder might suddenly lash out and kill, but they couldn’t come up with any answers.
Zhou Bai shook his head, "We can only wait for another chance with Time Reverse to carefully explore this."
Thus, he came before the elder again, flipped through three hundred secret texts in front of the elder and Zuo Lu. Meanwhile, he continuously recalled the memories of the 300 secret texts he had just learned, quickly correlating and recalling them.
However, this time Zhou Bai didn’t just casually put away the texts but looked at them for a while and then stood up under the watchful eyes of Jiaojiao and Zuo Lu.
He was then seen performing hand seals, and with a surge of spiritual energy, streaks of electricity appeared on his body. In a flash, he appeared in various corners of the room successively.
Zuo Lu, somewhat surprised, "Escape Technique - Thunder Intent Wave?"
Then, Zhou Bai performed the hand seals again, and his figure blurred momentarily before suddenly splitting from one to two, two to four, creating multiple clones that moved about the room.
Zuo Lu, "Phantom Invisible Technique?"
Zuo Lu’s astonishment grew as he watched Zhou Bai execute over twenty different martial arts and Dao techniques, each starting off slightly awkward, but he soon became proficient, as if he had been practicing for several years.
Zuo Lu couldn’t help but use his Primordial Spirit power to scan through the pile of secret manuals Zhou Bai had left on the ground. Indeed, the martial arts and Dao techniques described in those manuals were those Zhou Bai was performing.
As he watched Zhou Bai demonstrate over thirty more martial arts and Dao techniques, Zuo Lu’s face gradually changed from surprise to shock, and finally to numbness. Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask, "Zhou Bai, did you really just glance at them and learn three hundred techniques?"
Zhou Bai was about to speak when he heard Christina yelling in his mind, "Let me do it! Let me!"
Zhou Bai, "Aren’t you afraid Jiaojiao will find out about you and kill us?"
Christina sighed regretfully, "Zhou Bai, next time there’s a situation like this, you must let me control your body."
Zhou Bai, "Don’t worry. With my brains, there will be plenty more opportunities for small scenes like this."
Zhou Bai turned to Zuo Lu and said, "Exactly. Such simple manuals, a quick glance isn’t enough?"
Zuo Lu was about to say something else when he was interrupted by Jiaojiao, "Enough, Zuo Lu, leave. I have something to discuss with Zhou Bai. Don’t talk loosely about today’s events to anyone. If I hear anyone mentioning it, you’ll be the first one I look for."
"I understand," Zuo Lu nodded and left, but he thought to himself, ’With Zhou Bai’s talent, perhaps he really could reach the strength of a celestial deity?’
After Zuo Lu left, Jiaojiao’s figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback, feeling his body enveloped by a force of Primordial Spirit power, as if the other party was using their Primordial Spirit power to directly transmit visual and auditory information to him.
Christina said, "This is the fourth realm of cultivation, the Four-Dimensional Realm, where you have control over such abilities. In this realm, the Primordial Spirit power, after repeated refinement, becomes incredibly tough and strong, achieving a unity of essence, energy, and spirit.
Not only can it transmit some information, but the Primordial Spirit power can even exist outside the body for a while, a display of high concentration and increased strength."
Zhou Bai secretly nodded, only to hear Jiaojiao step forward and say, "Zhou Bai, learning three hundred techniques just from a glance, quite the genius…"
Zhou Bai was about to modestly deflect, but then he heard Jiaojiao continue, "But you can study anywhere on your own, right? What’s the meaning of bringing a huge pile of manuals just to show me? Show off?"
Zhou Bai, "…"
"Do you know what I just told Zuo Lu about not spreading the word about today?" Jiaojiao sighed, "But I think the person most likely to let it slip is actually you."
Zhou Bai awkwardly responded, "How can that be? I’m very low-key."
"You’re not low-key at all. From your entrance exam to the first assessment, and after joining the special class…" Jiaojiao slowly said, "Zhou Bai, you really love the spotlight, and you’ve gotten more and more arrogant recently. Honestly, this kind of personality…"
Zhou Bai inwardly exclaimed in dismay, ’Oh no, does Jiaojiao dislike students who love the spotlight? It seems I’ll have to keep a low profile around her in the future.’
"…The upcoming Dao School competition is indeed a perfect occasion to use your skills." Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes, "Zhou Bai, our East Dao School hasn’t won the top spot in the competition for twenty consecutive years, even finishing last in the previous two. It almost drove me mad."
Thinking of this, Jiaojiao felt herself getting angry again.
"In two months at the Dao School competition, your most important task is to make a strong statement and beat all the other Dao School students.
Don’t give me any of that low-key, humble nonsense. If anything happens, I’ve got your back. We need to fight for our Dao School’s honor, showcase the might of Three Pure Dao Sect, and secure good results so next year the celestial court will increase our cultivation resources."
Zhou Bai paused for a moment, then his face lit up with a broad smile, "Great Elder, don’t worry, I’ll fight with all my might…"
