Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 197 - 196 Zhou Bai’s Weakness
Zuo Lu felt a great reluctance to lend the points to the other party, but there seemed to be a part of him that thought it wasn’t a big deal to do so.
Both feelings represented his will, yet at this moment they were at odds with each other, causing him to intensely resist such feelings.
But after struggling for a few seconds, he ultimately said with effort, "Alright."
"Whatever, it’s just some points, right? Might as well lend them to him."
After he uttered the word "alright," he felt as if he was drained of all energy, carelessly tossing a small box to Zhou Bai, "I didn’t bring my points card, this is a Body Refining Pill worth 120 points. It can purify the body, expelling impurities within. It’s yours."
As Zhou Bai received the Body Refining Pills, he looked up, but Zuo Lu had already vanished without a trace.
Zhou Bai tilted his head and thought, "This is the first time I’ve seen someone who could somewhat resist impending disaster, although it seems he couldn’t endure in the end. So what’s this guy’s story? A member of the night army? Seems like I should find Lin Muqing and ask when I get a chance."
"And, does he have a very bad relationship with Zuo Dao?"
While Zhou Bai was somewhat curious to ask, it clearly wasn’t the time, as he had a whole flock of fat sheep to deal with.
Thus, Zhou Bai called out to Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao, "Wait for me a minute, I’ll handle this matter here, and then we can all go eat together, my treat."
As Zhou Bai turned to deal with the fat sheep, Qian Wangsun wore an ’I told you so’ expression while looking at Zuo Dao, "You see? I told you, Zhou Bai can borrow money just by relying on his good looks, it never fails."
Zuo Dao looked blankly at Zhou Bai, then shook his head, "Impossible, that’s not how it works. There must be some other reason."
Qian Wangsun sighed, "I thought the same before, but I really can’t find any other reason."
Zuo Dao still shook his head, "Even if it’s about getting people to lend him money, it shouldn’t be because of good looks. At the very least, Zhou Bai is nowhere near as handsome as you."
Qian Wangsun’s eyes brightened, and he began to smile, "I didn’t see that coming, you’re quite the smooth talker."
"I’m just telling it like it is."
"What are you guys talking about?"
Zhou Bai had finished collecting everyone’s points cards and approached Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao with an exceptionally bright smile on his face.
In just a few short minutes, he had collected 12 points cards, amounting to 1200 points.
’If I can borrow over a thousand points like this every day, I’ll have enough for my laziness value.’
Zhou Bai was resolutely determined that, for the great revival of the human race and to defeat the Heavenly Demon, he would bear any stigma each day. He would squat beneath this dormitory building and use his power to combat the Heavenly Demon.
Christina shouted, "Zhou Bai! There’s another one! I saw him last time too! He’s a spy for the Heavenly Demon!"
"Miss, are you from that building?" Zhou Bai walked over, all smiles. A moment later, he had another points card in hand.
Seeing Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao’s confused faces, he beckoned, "What are you standing around for? I’m taking you guys out to eat."
Zuo Dao looked at Zhou Bai with confusion, about to ask something, when he saw Qian Wangsun already sticking out his tongue and walking forward, "Zhou Bai! The number one handsome guy of Dao School!"
"Hahaha, it seems I really did pick the right elder brother."
As Zuo Dao watched the two walking arm in arm, he sighed, "I really don’t want to go eat with them. If it weren’t for the fact I had no points left in my points card..."
Watching the two voraciously eating and drinking in front of him, Zhou Bai asked leisurely, "Zuo Dao, who was that guy, anyway?"
Through Zuo Dao’s introduction, Zhou Bai finally understood Zuo Lu’s identity.
Zuo Dao’s brother, having allied himself with the Immortals and offered up all the Zuo Family’s closely guarded secrets like the Hundred Trials of Ghosts and Gods, was unilaterally expelled from the family.
"So that’s how it is," Zhou Bai nodded. "I heard he’s from the Night Army, if you run into any trouble, don’t forget to seek help from the teachers."
Zuo Dao ate messily, oil dripping from his mouth as he spoke while eating, "Mmm mmm... Mmm!"
Zhou Bai rolled his eyes and stood up, planning to first take the packed extraordinary food to sell.
This round of 1,200 points had Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao spending over 80, leaving enough for Zhou Bai to exchange for more than twenty thousand units of laziness value.
But Qian Wangsun, his mouth stuffed full of food, stopped him, saying, "Zhou Bai! Wait a second, let’s have a spar."
"Hmm?"
Qian Wangsun struggled to swallow the food in his mouth: "I want to have another go with you, the strongest in the special training class."
Hearing this, Zuo Dao next to him also looked at Zhou Bai excitedly. The chance to challenge others during the practical assessments was precious, as it related to future points.
If there was an opportunity to have a go with Zhou Bai on a regular basis and understand the gap, that would be more than perfect.
Zhou Bai nodded at these words, as he also wanted to test his recent training results.
So Zhou Bai first took the food back to exchange for laziness value, then returned to the special training class.
However, just as he entered the lobby, he saw a large crowd gathered together, even Zuo Dao and Qian Wangsun were there.
Zhou Bai walked over and asked curiously, "What’s going on?"
Qian Wangsun said, "The principal brought in a new machine. It’s said to be used by the Heavenly Court for testing the strength of the Primordial Spirit. It can be used without any preparation and doesn’t require changing the medium. It’s here for us to test anytime."
Zhou Bai looked up and saw a cylindrical column emitting a metallic sheen standing in the center, wrapped around by golden dragons, and at the top of the column, a silver bead floated in mid-air.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
"That..." Qian Wangsun’s eyes brightened, "looks like a Dragon Ball, right? I’ve heard this thing is the Daoist organ of a dragon and can even withstand more than 10,000 points of Primordial Spirit strength, used for casting Daoist arts. Is it being used here as a testing machine?"
At this moment, Wang Ran, the seventh-ranked in the first realm, punched out. His invisible Primordial Spirit force layered and dispersed, striking the sphere directly.
The sphere instantly spun at high speed, then gradually stopped, lighting up with the number 1999.
"Brother Wang, your Primordial Spirit strength has already reached the peak of the first realm."
"Brother Wang, you’re about to start preparing for the breakthrough to the second realm, right?"
After Wang Ran’s test, Lu Wanzhen, ranked sixth in the second realm, also stepped up, reached out her hand, and as if with an invisible big hand, she grabbed towards the sphere.
The sphere instantly shone brightly, and the number on it changed to 2810.
"Senior Sister Lu Wanzhen’s Primordial Spirit strength is so high."
"It’s almost 2999, isn’t it?"
"It looks like Senior Sister Lu Wanzhen should be able to reach the third realm before graduation."
The third realm is also the highest level among Dao School graduates from previous years, with very few graduates ever reaching the fourth realm.
The other students took turns to test, and Zhou Bai was also pushed by Qian Wangsun to go up and have a try.
His Primordial Spirit force struck the sphere, instantly showing the number 1390, quite in line with his apparent first realm cultivation, and about the same as Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao. This caused many people to marvel in secret, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit strength was so low, yet he was still able to defeat Zheng Wentian.
But Zhou Bai himself was somewhat dissatisfied, his true strength was at the second realm, yet his Primordial Spirit force was less than half of Lu Wanzhen’s, which was currently his biggest shortcoming. If his Primordial Spirit force could also reach 2800, then his combat power would at least double.
