Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 281 - 280 awesome

Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, not only was Zuo Lu full of confusion, but also Jiaojiao’s mind was filled with questions.

Jiaojiao: "What does ’finished learning’ mean?"

On the other side, Zhou Bai was earnestly looking through the secret manuals on the ground, and Christina asked him in his sea of knowledge, "Zhou Bai, are you sure your act isn’t a bit too stiff?"

"What’s stiff about it? I really learn that fast. Doing something one can do isn’t showing off, it’s being awesome," Zhou Bai said. "Besides, since I’m going to use the Time Reverse, I might as well use the laziness points to learn some martial arts and Daoist techniques, then ask Jiaojiao about the Primordial Daoist Texts. And then, after reversing time, won’t I have earned a lot of laziness points for free?"

Meanwhile, as Zhou Bai read, a succession of prompts appeared one after another.

"Do you want to spend 3100 laziness points to learn the Escape Technique - Thunder Intent Wave?"

"Do you want to spend 4500 laziness points to learn the Phantom Invisible Technique?"

"Do you want to spend 6300 laziness points to learn the Hand Palm Thunder?"

...

Prompt after prompt for learning secrets of cultivation techniques emerged from the cultivation support panel. Zhou Bai looked at his 2.53 million laziness points and chose yes to all of them.

Zhou Bai then felt an overwhelming flood of knowledge, like the great Yangtze River, crazily pouring into his mind, as he learned one martial arts or Daoist technique after another in an instant.

Of course, this ’learning’ was only in terms of knowledge. For instance, he could perform a set of swordsmanship, but for a set of Body Refining Techniques, he just knew the methods of cultivation and didn’t have the actual cultivation results of the Body Refinement Techniques.

Nevertheless, this was still incredibly impressive. As Zhou Bai kept taking out books from his bag, a glance would have him reading dozens at a time.

In the blink of an eye, more than two million laziness points were exhausted, and Zhou Bai had suddenly learned nearly three hundred martial arts and Daoist techniques, including those that could only be cultivated from the third realm, as well as those that could be mastered from the second realm.

Zhou Bai touched his head, feeling his sea of knowledge still somewhat turbulent. With just a bit of recollection, he could remember one martial arts or Daoist technique after another.

At this moment, Zhou Bai could feel his understanding of Daoist techniques rapidly increasing, probably already surpassing all the students in the school, and in terms of martial arts, except for swordsmanship, he had reached the expertise level in knife techniques, leg techniques, fist and palm, and stick fighting.

He could now defeat all the students in the school and even most of the teachers in pure hand-to-hand combat without relying on his cultivation base.

Zhou Bai’s actual combat experience was only considered average, and his close-combat skills were just ordinary.

But now, he had achieved mastery in one go. It could be said that if Zhou Bai were to engage in close combat with his past self, he could beat himself from ten minutes ago hands down.

And as Zhou Bai slowly assimilated this knowledge, his skill level would gradually improve again.

This learning session could be said to be a significant enhancement to Zhou Bai’s soft power.

After doing all this, Zhou Bai closed the books, moved his Primordial Spirit power, and had already put all the books back into the bag next to him.

"All right, I’m done learning," Zhou Bai said with a smile as he stood up.

Zuo Lu squinted his eyes and thought to himself, ’Finished learning? What is this guy talking about?’

Jiaojiao spoke out for him, "Finished learning? Zhou Bai, are you saying that with just a few glances, you’ve learned more than three hundred martial arts and Daoist techniques?"

"Yes," Zhou Bai said without intending to explain further. "Elder, I have some things I want to ask you."

Regarding Zhou Bai’s claim that he had merely scanned through and learned two hundred martial arts and Taoist skills, Zuo Lu and Jiaojiao naturally did not believe a single word.

However, seeing that Zhou Bai avoided the topic, they couldn’t be bothered to expose him.

Inwardly, Zuo Lu thought, ’His talent isn’t bad, but this kid is exaggerating. Even if his cultivation becomes profound in the future, he probably won’t be able to shoulder important responsibilities. Mortals really can’t compare to immortals after all, it’s just human inferiority.’ With this thought, the bit of interest he had initially felt upon sensing Zhou Bai’s good talent also faded.

Not wanting to intrude, Zuo Lu naturally took his leave when he saw Jiaojiao and Zhou Bai had matters to discuss.

Jiaojiao frowned inwardly, ’Zhou Bai’s situation... It’s even worse than what Shouyi described. He likes to brag excessively and is overly inflated with pride inside. I need to find a way to fix this bad habit of his. Otherwise, once his cultivation is higher, he’ll inevitably fall because of it.’

Seeing the situation unfold, Christina, who was stuck inside Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, became incredibly anxious.

"Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai! They don’t believe you!" Christina shouted within the sea of consciousness, "They don’t believe you’ve learned it! I’m so angry! I, Christina, hate being underestimated the most! Hurry up, hurry! Prove it to them!"

"We’ll talk about that later. You have to know we’re preparing to Time Reverse." Zhou Bai said with confidence, "If I show off now, and then Time Reverse happens, won’t it all have been for nothing?"

Christina responded, "That makes sense! But I’m still so upset! Hurry up! I want to see you show off!"

"Let me see..." Zhou Bai checked the time, "It’s been 5 minutes since I first used the Lazy Value to learn a skill. I have to Time Reverse after 25... no, to be safe, in 23 minutes, which means I only have 23 minutes to talk to Jiaojiao."

Therefore, Zhou Bai got straight to the point and asked Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, do you know what the Primordial Dao Texts are all about?"

Zhou Bai immediately felt a Primordial Spirit force wrapping around his body, and the next moment, he arrived in a verdant realm. There he saw a middle-aged version of Jiaojiao sitting in midair, looking at him.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, ’So Jiaojiao can pull someone into a dream realm.’

Jiaojiao asked, "Zhou Bai, where did you learn about the Primordial Dao Texts?"

Since there was Time Reverse, Zhou Bai did not hide anything and straightforwardly talked about discovering Dr. Zhuang’s laboratory in the hospital, finding the notes, and the Primordial Dao Texts.

After listening to what Zhou Bai said, Jiaojiao heaved a deep sigh.

Zhou Bai curiously asked the middle-aged Jiaojiao with a worried expression, "Elder, what exactly are the Primordial Dao Texts?"

Jiaojiao was silent for a moment before she slowly began to speak, "Over 120 years ago, the Heavenly Dao twisted, countless immortals fell, and cultivators became deformed. After twenty years of chaos, the survivors, centered around the four major currents of the time, established the Four Great Taoist Schools.

Our Qingtian Dao Sect was among them, absorbing and uniting a great number of Daoist Sects and renamed to the Three Pure Dao Sect, later evolving into the Donghua Dao School.

After that, as you know, everyone came together to create the Dao Texts, and finally, under the leadership of the Tranquil Hermit of our Three Pure Dao Sect, the Dao Texts from 0 to 99 were eventually created. But..."

Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Bai, "Before the Tranquil Hermit appeared, did the collective wisdom of all the strong cultivators, even immortals, really fail to create the Dao Texts?"

Zhou Bai’s heart skipped a beat.

Only to hear Jiaojiao continue, "The Primordial Dao Texts were not related to the Tranquil Hermit. They were the Dao Texts created by the predecessors who originally united with the intention of creating them.

The Primordial Dao Texts and the existing Dao Texts are polar opposites, completely different."

Zhou Bai couldn’t help but ask, "Then why were the Primordial Dao Texts sealed away and their very existence completely concealed?"

Jiaojiao replied, "My master, the Real Person Qingfeng, was one of those who created the Primordial Dao Texts..."
