Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 228 - 227 plus points

Watching Lin Muqing leave, Xiao Pei sighed with relief and thought to himself, "Why did I think of Zhou Bai? Honestly, even if he’s a freak, he wouldn’t..."

Boom! The spiritual energy surged toward the window, and Xiao Pei stared blankly in its direction, seeing a familiar man’s silhouette appear there.

Xiao Pei bit her teeth and said, "Zhou... Bai..."

Yet it was Lin Muqing who was the first to step out onto the balcony. She looked at Zhou Bai, who was sticking to the window, and said, "What are you doing, Zhou Bai? It’s late at night, are you not going to let people sleep?"

Zhou Bai replied, "I’m just finding a place to cultivate."

Lin Muqing rolled her eyes and transmitted her voice, "Zhou Bai! The buildings nearby are all instructors’, making such a racket this late at night has a bad influence, hurry up and leave."

Seeing Lin Muqing’s serious face, Zhou Bai helplessly said, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop then."

Xiao Pei felt Zhou Bai’s departure and finally began to relax, sleeping soundly.

As she slept in a daze, bursts of spiritual energy began to converge at the window once again.

She also felt, vaguely, as if there were a gaze filled with malice and greasiness, making her uncomfortable.

Xiao Pei suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head toward the window, and saw a man’s head staring at her with wide eyes.

"Morning, Xiao Pei, want to cultivate together?"

She turned her head with a speechless expression, looking at the clock, "It’s only 5 am! Zhou Bai, you jerk! It’s just 5 am and you’re already harassing me?!"

Bang! A chair was flung out by Xiao Pei, smashing the glass window with a crash.

Zhou Bai sighed, "Ah, who would have thought that the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy would be so high that the commotion became a nuisance."

But Zhou Bai didn’t give up. For nearly sixteen hours every day, he followed Xiao Pei closely in cultivation, driving her almost to the brink of nervous exhaustion.

Xiao Pei sought out Zhao Shouyi, "Grandpa, do you know Zhou Bai follows me around all day? He’s really weird, can you make him stop following me?"

Zhao Shouyi, however, laughed heartily, thinking to himself, ’I originally thought this kid Zhou Bai had a psychological gender disorder, but he actually likes Xiao Pei. However, this method of chasing a girl is like that of a stalker.’

Then Zhao Shouyi looked at Xiao Pei with a smiling gaze, ’But Xiao Pei seems to have become more cheerful than before.’

So he said, "Don’t worry, Xiao Pei, Zhou Bai has no ill intentions. His cultivation progress is just too fast, and he’s a little bit mentally troubled. He’s just sick, you don’t need to be afraid of him, and don’t discriminate against him."

Xiao Pei: "..."

Two days later, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit strength finally surged from 2249 towards 2500, getting closer and closer to 2500.

One of those days, he even went through a combat assessment, but surprisingly, no one challenged him.

Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao didn’t challenge him, which Zhou Bai understood. After all, they could challenge him every night without wasting a combat assessment slot.

But it was a surprise to Zhou Bai that Zheng Wentian didn’t challenge him.

Looking at Zheng Wentian, who even deliberately winked at him, revealing an awkward friendly smile.

Zhou Bai immediately understood, "I thought this guy would come to settle accounts the next day, but has he not noticed the issue with the vomit yet? What on earth is he using it for?"

However, since Zheng Wentian didn’t bother him, he naturally didn’t take the initiative to expose him.

After the assessment ended and a new month arrived, Zhou Bai received 2400+2000+500 points.

This time, without any reservations or fear of attracting attention, and since he was already able to learn Tianhe Star Explosion, what did it matter if he exchanged a few more lazy points?

Leaving 300 points for emergencies, Zhou Bai exchanged the remaining 4600 points into more than 90,000 lazy points. Along with the contribution from Zheng Wentian, the lazy points reached 130,000.

...

Late at night, inside the training room.

All the students except Zhou Bai had left, and Zhou Bai remained to cultivate for over half an hour, finally breaking through to 2500 points of Primordial Spirit strength.

"Hu..."

With a deep exhale, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit energy spread directly from his sea of consciousness to fill the entire training room, like a gale sweeping across the land; it carried a pressing force that struck the walls with a crackling explosion.

Then, as the Primordial Spirit energy was retracted back into the sea of consciousness, Zhou Bai could feel the tumultuous energy surging back and forth within, his Primordial Spirit growing stronger and stronger.

"Finally, 2500 Primordial Spirit points. In at most another week or two, I should be able to raise my Primordial Spirit points to the limit," Zhou Bai thought, smiling as he looked at his Taiyin Roulette.

With the Primordial Spirit value increased to 2500 points, he could finally unlock the next node.

Previously, due to insufficient Primordial Spirit points, he was unable to cultivate the next node, but now that he had reached 2500 points, this was no longer an issue.

Wuqu - Golden Body: Infuses the body with a powerful adaptive capacity, enhancing the efficacy of any form of physical training.

Cultivation method: (Omitted)

Laziness (0/80,000)

Looking at the 6th node on the Taiyin Roulette, Zhou Bai fell into deep thought.

As his Primordial Spirit power soared and the node could be cultivated once again, combined with the laziness points required for the Twilight Taoist Skill, Zhou Bai found himself once more in the predicament of not having enough laziness points.

"Should I add to the node first or save the laziness points to enhance the Twilight Taoist Skill?"

After some thought, Zhou Bai decided to add to the node first.

After all, from what he could see, the nodes primarily improved his aptitude. Securing the node early on was like rolling a snowball; the sooner he added it, the more worthwhile it was.

Thus, Zhou Bai looked at the remaining 130,000 or so laziness points and directly invested 80,000 into it.

In an instant, he felt his body lighten, as if countless visible and invisible elements from the air had poured into his form.

’Is this what it feels like to change the body’s training effect?’ Zhou Bai didn’t feel anything himself but knew the auxiliary cultivation system wouldn’t deceive him.

He then turned his attention to the 7th node.

Wuqu - Undying: Each time the physical body suffers an attack, it marginally increases the related resistance of the body.

Cultivation method: (Omitted)

Laziness (0/90,000)

"Indeed, it’s still about the body’s aptitude. This time it’s about improving the Body Refinement effect, right?"

"It’s just a shame I don’t have enough laziness points."

Zhou Bai shook his head slightly, then returned to his bedroom.

Since he was now cultivating with little Pei during the day and with the study group at night, Zhou Bai used the late-night hours exclusively for sleep and recuperation. Even Christina was left to move around the house freely.

The original routine of hanging up during the day and cultivating at night had been completely adjusted, symbolizing Zhou Bai’s increasing adaptation to the current life of cultivation.

The next day, he woke up early, ready to find little Pei to cultivate together.

But before going to find little Pei, Zhou Bai first went up to the second floor of the cafeteria, where Zhao Shouyi had arranged a special treatment for him.

Auntie Wang was waiting there with a smile. As soon as she saw Zhou Bai, she waved nonstop: "Zhou Bai, over here."

"Look, I specially stewed this colorful Zijin porridge for you today, pan-seared Tianhe fish, steamed Huangliang meat, and wine fermented Mo Ren," Auntie Wang described today’s breakfast as she excitedly looked at Zhou Bai, "I specifically asked the master chef to choose methods that would preserve the potency of extraordinary food. Eating these dishes will significantly boost your explosiveness, stamina, reaction, flexibility, and other attributes."

"Several of these are personal treasures from President Zhao," Auntie Wang added, looking at Zhou Bai: "He really values you a lot."

Zhou Bai nodded, curiously asking Auntie Wang, "Auntie Wang, are you close to President Zhao?" He indeed had not expected President Zhao to have Auntie Wang arrange special treatment for him.

Auntie Wang smiled, "I used to cook specifically for the school leaders, so I’m quite familiar with them."

"Oh," Zhou Bai felt that the Auntie Wang in front of him might not be so simple, but after tasting a few bites, he said, "Auntie Wang, you can go about your business; I can eat by myself."

"You really don’t need to stay, I’m used to eating alone."
