Chapter 39 (2/2)

After Zhou Bai got Elsa’s food and went back to the dorm, he lay down on the couch and didn’t plan on going out again at all.

No, I really can’t keep going to class. I’ll just cut the afternoon classes. Zhou Bai stroked his chin and thought, I wonder how much Laziness I can gain from cutting class? Could I earn enough points to light up the next star point in an afternoon?

At this thought, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but smile.

Suddenly, his expression changed again, and he thought, But I haven’t learned how to practice Degree of Taoification yet. I’m afraid it might be dangerous to add it directly.

He thought about Jing Xiu, who took careful notes. Yes. I’ll find a time to borrow Jing Xiu’s notes. If that doesn’t work, then I’ll go find Old Lu after class…

But after recalling how Lu Chongyang went on for half an hour, Zhou Bai looked hesitant again.

At that moment, Christina, who had been curled into a ball for an entire day, slowly unfurled. She stretched herself, glared at Zhou Bai, and asked, “Zhou Bai! Where’s my breathing method?”

Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up, “Right—there are complete study resources in the library. With my current situation, I should start learning from the basics while I cut class. I can’t always rely on the auxiliary practice system to add points. That makes me uneasy.”

If he were in a tranquil world of practice, Zhou Bai might just promote himself by adding points.

But in a world where the Heavenly Tao was distorted, and the higher your level of practice, the more likely you were to lose your mind, Zhou Bai felt uneasy about promoting himself purely by adding points.

After lying on the dorm couch for a while, Zhou Bai saw Laziness really did increase after he cut class. Zhou Bai took Christina into his consciousness and brought her to the library to find textbooks and a breathing method.

When he walked into the library, he found the entire library was divided into sections based on the level of practice. They were strictly guarded.

At the door of the library was a list of safety precautions for Tao practice that covered an entire wall.

Zhou Bai took them in at a glance. They all reminded practitioners not to touch knowledge that exceeded their realms recklessly.

After all, the Heavenly Tao was distorted. Each promotion was like walking on ice for practitioners.

Low-level practitioners coming into contact with high-level Heavenly Tao knowledge massively increased their chance of insanity and mutation.

The school’s library allowed students to borrow and read books freely, but made strict divisions of the type of material they were allowed to read.

People like Zhou Bai could only borrow the most basic of content.

But that was exactly what he wanted. Zhou Bai borrowed some of the most basic materials on Tao practice from the library. He also helped Christina pick the breathing method book with the most borrowers. Zhou Bai wanted to find a place to study in the library.

That’s when he realized that he couldn’t study at all while cutting class, because the moment he started studying, his Laziness stopped increasing.

Then should I go back? He gave it some thought. Zhou Bai decided not to return to his room. He was afraid Lu Chongyang would find out he was cutting class and look for him in his dorm. If he went back now, he’d be walking right into a trap.

Zhou Bai had no choice but to hold back his desire to study and to nap on the table.

After Christina read the breathing method he got for her, she regained much of the breathing-related information in her memory. She sat in Zhou Bai’s mind and started practicing a breathing method, silently breathing Spark, slowly increasing her primordial spirit power.
