Chapter 28 (2/2)

Zhao Shouyi nodded at the front and said, “You put it well. Because of the risk involved in directly facing the Heavenly Tao, different sects created different methods for preserving and reading the information inside. My Heaven Usurpation Map records the readings of the distorted Heavenly Tao by our predecessors.”

At this, Zhao Shouyi smiled and said, “But this is still too dangerous for you, so I won’t let you see the contents directly. What you’ll see is the hard-to-grasp, hard-to-describe, hard-to-understand, and mysterious condition of the original Heavenly Tao.”

Zhou Bai looked at the Heaven Usurpation Map and felt like he comprehended something when an indescribable flash crossed his mind. The only word he had for the moment was mysterious.

Zhao Shouyi pointed at the Heaven Usurpation Map and said, “This third round will test your ability to comprehend Tao. That’s why you’ll now each find a seat and sit down, look at this Heaven Usurpation Map, and write down what you see. The five of us will personally judge and grade them.”

As he spoke, a big screen lit up behind him with the names of the applicants and their related information.

“Apart from this grade, your performance from the previous two rounds will also be graded, including your Primordial Spirit Value, running distance, speed, and change in speed. They’ll all be converted into points according to certain rules.

“The sum of these three rounds will be your final grade. The 600 students with the highest grades will pass the entrance exam and become our Donghua Tao Academy’s new entering class.

“Well then… Let’s begin.”

The applicants each took their seats. Jing Xiu looked relaxed as she glanced over at Zhou Bai and said, “Brother Zhou, don’t worry. With your grade from the previous two rounds, even if you do poorly in this round, you’ll definitely get accepted anyway.”

Zhou Bai looked at the Heaven Usurpation Map in the air with worry. Then he turned around and saw that the applicants around him were either writing with flying strokes or deep in thought. He was the only one who appeared to be constipated.

Christina laughed and said, “They all obtained their Primordial Spirit Values from studying hard and breathing Spark. In the process of practice, even if they haven’t Taoified, they naturally have their own understandings of the Heavenly Tao.”

“This Heaven Usurpation Map contains everything in the universe that they can understand, more or less of it anyway. Everyone will see different information, by perhaps a breathing method, perhaps a way to strengthen their bodies, maybe martial arts techniques, perhaps the reason of purity and turbidity or the separation of yin and yang…”

“But you got your primordial spirit power purely from points… What the hell can you understand? Maybe 36 ways to lie on the couch? Hahahahaha…”

Hearing Christina mock him, Zhou Bai furrowed his brows. “Shut up, you’re interrupting my comprehension of Tao.”

“Comprehension of Tao?” Christina roared with laughter. “What the hell are you comprehending? Do you want me to help you out? I am comprehending something when I look at this Heaven Usurpation Map. If you beg me, I’ll tell you.”

“Beg you?” Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up suddenly. “Watch… Let me show you what the great Tao is.”

Zhou Bai thought through the risks. “My grades from the previous two rounds were so high anyway, so even if I write randomly, I still won’t have such bad luck as to be one of the 600 applicants eliminated from the 1,200 in this round.”

“And besides, they said it’s possible to comprehend anything, which means that no matter what I write, there will probably be a base grade.”

At this thought, Zhou Bai made a decision and put his pen to paper.

Christina watched him write with a smile, but in a moment she was shocked.

“Renege?”

Zhou Bai said proudly, “No one in human society can escape the Law of Renege. This is an ultimate law that covers everything in the history of human development. This law expounds the entirety of humanity. How is it? Can I get first place?”

Christina said furiously, “First place my a**! What the hell are you writing?! Change it now! This is so embarrassing!”

“Tch,” Zhou Bai shook his head. “Stupid cat. Then I’ll write something else.”
