Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 211 - 210 640,000 laziness points
Christina said, "Are you sure you want to sell it? Won’t other students need it?"
Zhou Bai replied, "Who would need it? According to Dr. Zhuang, isn’t it only usable by those who haven’t had their Primordial Spirit adjusted? Besides, the fact that Heaven and the government haven’t promoted the original Dao collection, if we lend it out, we might end up being targeted by them. No way, no way."
After much consideration by both man and cat, Zhou Bai still decided to sell the original Dao collection 01.
In an instant, his cultivation assist panel showed an additional 500,000 points of laziness, reaching an unprecedented total of 640,000.
"640,000 points of laziness!" Zhou Bai truly felt the urge to spend it all in one go, adding it all to his Primordial Spirit value.
However, he knew that raising his Primordial Spirit value now would definitely not be worth it, since his own cultivation of the Primordial Spirit was already fast enough. It would be better to use the 640,000 points of laziness to learn skills.
"Let’s see how much of the Twilight Taoist Skill I can learn tomorrow."
Therefore, Zhou Bai went to bed, sleeping soundly until morning to face the 72 hours of Twilight Taoist Skill study with the most refreshed state of mind.
...
After returning to his room, Zuo Lu suddenly squatted on the floor and said in a respectful tone, "My Lord."
Within Zuo Lu’s sea of consciousness, a voice suddenly rang out, "Hmm, Zuo Lu, you will be able to enter the dreamland to cultivate the Twilight Taoist Skill tomorrow, won’t you?"
Zuo Lu nodded, "I had cultivation records before going to Heaven, so getting in tomorrow won’t be an issue. But with your status, my Lord, if you want to observe the Twilight Taoist Skill, couldn’t you just order the high-ups of the Dao School directly?"
"Hehe. Zuo Lu, a dog must act like a dog obediently, and not casually pry into its master’s affairs."
"Testing me? Don’t play these little games in front of me."
Zuo Lu’s expression shifted slightly as he replied evenly, "This subordinate understands his mistake."
"I do like this silenced and enduring demeanor of yours," the other’s laughter rang out. "But I’ll tell you just a little bit; eventually, you will come to realize that the five Divine Skills... they are no longer merely Taoist arts."
...
Inside a military area 500 meters from Donghua City.
Lin Muqing said respectfully, "Why is the Dao School placing such importance on the Twilight Taoist Skill this time? I felt that although the Twilight Taoist Skill is innovative and vastly more powerful than common Taoist skills, it didn’t seem to exceed imagination too much."
Opposite Lin Muqing, Fang Mo replied, "Ordinary Twilight Taoist Skills are indeed just powerful Taoist skills. What’s truly formidable are the five Divine Skills."
Lin Muqing curiously asked, "Aren’t the five Divine Skills also a kind of Taoist skill?"
Fang Mo chuckled mischievously and looked towards the most senior position occupied by an elder, saying, "Elder Wu, you should be more familiar with this. I only know a little bit and have been very curious."
Lin Muqing turned to look at the elder in the most senior position; a man with white hair and a face deeply etched with wrinkles, seeming ancient as if at any moment he could meet his end.
This man was Wu Zheng, the person in charge of the night military at Donghua Dao School.
As Fang Mo posed the question, Elder Wu slowly opened his eyes, revealing an exceptionally calm gaze, as if there was nothing in this world that could surprise him anymore.
"The five Divine Skills are no longer just simple Taoist arts."
Lin Muqing felt a slight shock, "Not Taoist arts?"
Elder Wu chuckled, "What are the five Divine Skills? What did they represent before the distortion of the Heavenly Dao?"
Fang Mo said, "They are the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, aren’t they? I heard that the five Divine Skills were born directly from snatching a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s mysteries."
Elder Wu continued, "Then, after the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, what will the five Divine Skills become?"
Fang Mo’s face changed, and Lin Muqing was startled, "Could it be... the power of distortion? Is that possible? Can humans also wield the power of distortion?" She was eager to ask more, but seeing that Elder Wu seemed unwilling to say more, she could only temporarily suppress her curiosity.
Lin Muqing: "I’ll find an opportunity to ask the Sect Hierarch, maybe he knows."

Wu Lao said, "The five Divine Skills are not trivial matters. The main purpose of your visit this time is to observe the cultivators’ performances." Saying this, he shook his head, "But I guess no one will be able to master them anyway."
"Mastering the five Divine Skills… tough… it’s really too tough…"
...
The next morning, when Zhou Bai arrived at the special class, he found that everyone was already there, each person’s eyes twinkling with excitement and anticipation.
Soon after, Ying Hui arrived, glanced at everyone, and said, "Everyone’s here? Then let’s go."
Under Ying Hui’s leadership, the students of the special class came before the Great Elder. Seeing the Elder’s distorted flesh for the first time, everyone in the special class revealed looks of shock, surprise, and nervousness on their faces.
Ying Hui said, "Don’t be afraid. The Great Elder’s condition is very stable, and we’ll be beside you to protect you, there will be no issues.
"Next, you’ll lie down in those pits, and you’ll soon enter the Great Elder’s dream realm."
Apart from Ying Hui, other mentors including Kuang Tu, Snake Lao, and even the Vice Principal Zhao Shouyi were standing aside.
More than ten mentors, along with Zhao Shouyi, had given up the chance to cultivate themselves and were there to prevent any accidents from befalling the Great Elder.
Seeing the special class students like Zhou Bai arrive, Zhao Shouyi smiled at them kindly, "Don’t be nervous, but don’t relax too much either. Work hard on your cultivation. We will guard your bodies outside, so there’s no need to worry."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhou Bai looked around and noticed that there were dozens of people lying in the other pits, obviously some cultivators from before who had also rushed over today.
He tried to activate his pressure detection ability and immediately felt wave after wave of brilliant light wash over him.
"Very good, Qian Wangsun, Lu Wanzhen, Zuo Dao are all here. Let me see… and there’s…"
Zhou Bai struggled to adjust to the incessant pressure bearing down on him, widened his eyes, trying to discern the state of the other peoples’ pressure to see how much of a cultivation enhancement he could gain this time.
"Flash bomb level Qian Wangsun, Lu Wanzhen."
"Chandelier level Zuo Dao…"
"Oh? Liu Bingxin is also at the chandelier level, huh."
"Hmm, most of the others are candle level… Oh? Zheng Wentian is also at the flash bomb level, good, good."
The next moment, Zhou Bai’s gaze was drawn to two pitch-black pits.
"Jiang Weishan, Zhao Xiu… damn, the special class actually has two big black holes, so close to each other too. As the saying goes, the ugly need to study more. I should stay away from them later, so they don’t drag me down to their level of ugliness."
"Eh? This Xu Qizhang doesn’t seem to emanate any light, nor does he resemble a black hole at all, just so ordinary, it’s as if I didn’t turn on the pressure detector. Is he just remarkably ordinary looking?"
Zhou Bai then looked at the several dozen people who had already laid down on the other side. Even though he couldn’t make out their faces, the soaring pressures indicated that they could also provide him with a significant enhancement.
Finally, Zhou Bai looked towards the teachers.
"Sigh, all candle level pressures, so weak." Suddenly, Zhou Bai paused, turning his gaze to a pile of mosaics beside Ying Hui.
He thought he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked again—still a pile of mosaics.
"Holy crap, who is this? So ugly they need to be pixelated??"
"There’s a pixelated level below the black hole level?"
