Chapter 20 (2/2)

With a move of his will, he pulled the dumb cat out and tossed her onto the ground. She jumped from shock.

“What are you doing? I was sleeping!”

“Stop sleeping. It’s not like you have a system, why are you sleeping so much every day?” Zhou Bai yanked her over, looking at the gem hanging on her neck, then frowned.

Ever since it either turned back time or foresaw the future that time, this gem has turned grey. It hasn’t changed a bit since then.

Zhou Bai: “Can this gem not recover?”

“It should be able to recover,” Christina thought for a while in silence, “I think if you let me use your auxiliary system, I might be able to use Laziness to restore the gem’s power!”

Zhou Bai controlled his will, and his primordial spirit power grabbed Christina, stroking her in his chest.

Christina thought to herself, angrily, “This b*stard, just wait and see. I’m going to strike you dead in the future!”

Zhou Bai tried for a while but couldn’t find any way to restore the gem or use the gem, so he just gave up trying.

“If the gem can’t be used for now, then my biggest advantage is the system,” Zhou Bai thought as he rubbed his chin, “I have to find other ways to increase Laziness.”

As Zhou Bai thought about this, he went out to look for some food, then returned to the room to await the officer’s arrival.

The officer came very quickly. Just like the examination and treatment Zhou Bai went through yesterday, there was no unnecessary small talk or probing. After asking about Zhou Bai’s plans, he recommended Zhou Bai participate in the entrance exam taking place in a week. If he can pass the exam, he would be qualified to enter the Tao academy.

What’s worth mentioning is that the conversation with the officer allowed Zhou Bai to understand the basic situation roughly.

Earth today is still having a global war between humans and Mara.

Most of the regions on Earth have been occupied by Mara. The Western Continent has fallen completely, and the humans on the Eastern Continent are only defending the last one-third of their territory.

Where Zhou Bai and the rest were now was the south-east corner of the remaining territory.

In order to be more efficient and concentrate their resources on resisting against Mara, humans have united all the countries and sects to be governed by Paradise 500 years ago.

In order to respond to the distortion of the Heavenly Tao, and to foster strong human individuals to resist against the Mara, Paradise gathered the most powerful sects at that time and allowed them to create four Tao academies– East, West, North, and South. They each exchanged methods of practice and all sorts of resources.

Although some small sects still exist, the most powerful practitioners generally come from the Tao academies.

But because resources are limited, they cannot foster students without restriction. So you must pass the entrance exam to enter the four big Tao academies.

The one closest to Zhou Bai right now was Donghua Tao Academy, located on the eastern coast of human territory.

“The entrance exam for Donghua Tao Academy is in a week. I’ll arrange a flying car for you to ride to Donghua City tomorrow, but the rest is up to you.”

Zhou Bai nodded. He understood this was the most the officer could do. Then he asked, “What does the entrance exam for Donghua Tao Academy test? I want to prepare myself.”

The officer smiled and said, “You can go ask Old Zhang, oh…that is, Zhang Aidao, who brought you back yesterday. He took the entrance exam before. Unfortunately, he didn’t pass, but he knows what they test.”
