Zhou Bai opened the door and saw a little girl with red hair, dressed in black sportswear, standing outside. She was only about 1.4 meters tall and was staring at him with an unhappy expression.
"You are... Xia Li?" Zhou Bai's mind recalled her identity.
The little girl in front of him looked about fourteen or fifteen years old and was one of their classmates whose Primordial Spirit value reached 99, ranking tenth in the admission test.
Although she was ranked tenth, due to her young age, it could be said that Xia Li had more talent in cultivation compared to others.
Xia Li looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Mr. Lv asked me to call you to class..."
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and then slammed the door shut with a bang.
Xia Li, infuriated, pounded on the door, "Zhou Bai! Come out now! Did you hear me?"
"If you don't come out, I'll abort the child!"
Zhou Bai stuffed tissue in his ears, lying on the bed to continue sleeping. Listening to the faint discussions outside, he muttered internally, 'Heart Demon, it's all Heart Demon! Don't try to stop me from cultivating.'
Xia Li pounded on the door for more than ten minutes, but in the end, she didn't dare to destroy the school's dormitory door. Seeing that the class was about to start, Xia Li kicked the door a few more times and yelled at Zhou Bai before leaving.
"Bastard!"
"Idiot!"
"I'm so mad!"
Hearing Xia Li leave, Zhou Bai silently breathed a sigh of relief and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until the evening when he was awakened by Elsa pouncing on him, licking his face with her rumbling stomach.
"Zhou~~ Bai~~"
"I'm~~ hungry~~"
"Alright, alright, I'll go get food for you." Zhou Bai looked at the auxiliary cultivation system.
Dao Transformation: 0%
Primordial Spirit value: 99
Divine Diagram: Celestial Nine Calamities
Laziness: 850
"Not bad, it looks like I can unlock the third star point tomorrow."
So after that, Zhou Bai went to the cafeteria to eat and bring food, but on the way, he was blocked by Xia Li again.
"Zhou Bai! Why didn't you go to class?" Xia Li pointed at him and said, "Do you know what your spot represents? How many people have sacrificed to give us time and resources to cultivate, and what are you doing?"
Zhou Bai could only act as if she did not exist. After all, her urging him to go to class was entirely out of good intentions. He could only silently listen, silently eat, and silently return to his room.
Seeing Zhou Bai completely ignore her, Xia Li yelled angrily, "Zhou Bai! You bastard!!"
Back in his room, it was self-study time again. Zhou Bai seriously looked at the basic textbooks on the table, occasionally scribbling notes in his notebook.
Having already been branded as a slacker, Zhou Bai harbored a sense of determination. Besides accumulating laziness points daily, he also made sure to seriously establish a strong foundation and catch up on the cultivation knowledge he had missed.
"Understanding the division of the five elements in Lingji is an abstract concept rather than actual substances like water and fire..."
He self-studied for another night.
The next day, looking at the dim sky under artificial light, Zhou Bai exhaled and lay back on his bed.
'Today's accumulated laziness from the daytime should be enough for the next star point, right?'
So he slept straight until the evening. When Zhou Bai opened his eyes, he eagerly checked the auxiliary cultivation system panel and saw that his laziness value had reached 1360.
"Great!"
Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately immersed his consciousness into the Taiyin Roulette, injecting 1200 laziness points into the third star point.
Buzhou - Skin: Changes the nature of the skin to enhance its defensive power.
Cultivation method: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Laziness (0/1200)
With the injection of laziness, Zhou Bai instantly felt an unbearably itchy sensation on his skin, as if countless ants and bugs were crawling under it, incessantly biting.
Just as Zhou Bai was about to scratch his skin, his entire body's skin rapidly cracked, bled, dried up, and peeled off.
It was as if a giant snake had shed its skin, Zhou Bai's skin turned into layers of dried keratin that fell to the ground.
Soon, all the skin on his body had been completely replaced, now carrying a faint dark hue, looking somewhat inhuman.
However, this feeling gradually disappeared over time.
Zhou Bai took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and looked at his skin, pressing it firmly and feeling that it seemed tougher.
He then tried punching his chest a few times and felt his body was protected by an invisible armor, and the skin itself was like thick rhino skin, more resilient.
A punch with five parts of his strength had no effect, and only with seven parts, he felt a sense of the invisible armor breaking, but the remaining force was still blocked by the skin.
A punch with nine parts of his strength finally broke through his defense and caused some injury to the chest muscles and bones.
"This defensive power..." Zhou Bai calculated internally: "Ordinary people's knives, guns, and clubs won't be a problem at all."
At this moment, after three enhancements of Buzhou, Buzhou - Base, and Buzhou - Skin, Zhou Bai's physical ability was already a small superhero on Earth. If he were in ancient China, he would be an unmatched warrior with unparalleled bravery.
If his 99 Primordial Spirit power was taken into account, even ordinary firearms would be ineffective against him.
"Although my physique has been continuously enhanced, in terms of combat power, my Primordial Spirit power is still stronger. But with my enhanced physique, I won't be gravely injured in battles now."
Delighted with the further enhancement of his body, he looked at the next star point.
Buzhou - Bone: Changes the marrow to enhance bone density and strength.
Cultivation method: (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
Laziness (0/1600)
Seeing the laziness value requirement of 1600, Zhou Bai sighed in relief. Luckily, it wasn't a doubling increase, or else the laziness points would be way too insufficient.
So in the following days, Zhou Bai continued to skip classes during the day and self-study at night. Xia Li, who initially urged him to go to class, seemed to have completely given up on him and gradually stopped coming. Zhou Bai was completely immersed in his cultivation.
...
"Teacher! Zhou Bai is a hopeless case!" Xia Li stood in a courtyard, while Lv Chongyang was controlling large amounts of water vapor to irrigate the herbs in the courtyard.
Xia Li shouted, "I asked the dorm manager. This guy stays in his room all day, goes out to eat at midnight, and never comes out during the day. He must be living a life of reversed day and night, idling away his time!"
Lv Chongyang frowned slightly at her words. He couldn't understand why, with Zhou Bai's demonstrated talent and comprehension, he insisted on skipping classes. Could he have some unspeakable difficulties?
Xia Li continued, "Besides, his constant absence from class affects other students too! Many of our classmates are very dissatisfied with him, believing he is wasting resources and a spot!!"
