Chapter 48 (2/2)

If you ignored this cheater Zhou Bai, she might be the most gifted one in this entering class.

Unlike Zhou Bai’s star points that enhanced his physique and defense, the first star point on Christina’s Sword Map created a sword aura.

This sword aura was usually stored in her body. As she breathed Spark, she continuously fostered this sword aura with primordial spirit power and Spark, making it stronger and stronger.

The sword aura could also regurgitate on the body, slightly enhancing her physique.

When she heard Zhou Bai ask her to attack, Christina immediately spat out her sword aura, stabbing at Zhou Bai.

But she wasn’t trying to hurt Zhou Bai. She just shot it at Zhou Bai’s shoulder, wanting to leave a wound and show off her power.

When the sword aura was an inch away from Zhou Bai’s shoulder, it hit an invisible barrier, but quickly tore through it.

Ripping through the barrier, the sword aura became slightly weaker. It continued to charge at Zhou Bai’s shoulder.

But when the sword aura hit Zhou Bai’s shoulder, it made a deafening clang.

Christina felt like her sword aura crashed into a large block of diamond it couldn’t pierce.

Zhou Bai rubbed his shoulder, then said as he continued to lie on the bed, “Put some muscle into it. I don’t feel anything.”

“Hmph!” Christina waved her paws again. After the sword aura spiraled around for a bit, it charged at accelerated speed, shooting at Zhou Bai’s shoulder like a flash of lightning.

Another clang, but it still didn’t break Zhou Bai’s skin.

Christina meowed in anger. She injected all of her primordial spirit power into the sword aura, sending it forth with all her might, but it still didn’t break through Zhou Bai’s defense.

After she depleted her sword aura, it became completely dejected and went limp. It slowly returned to Christina’s mouth, and she swallowed it in one gulp.

Christina watched Zhou Bai in astonishment. “What kind of defense is this? How can you have such a dominant defensive power when you’re only in the zeroth realm of Tao practice?”

Zhou Bai was rather satisfied with the effect of the fifth star point, Sumeru. The only regrettable thing was that he could get that kind of defensive power only while lying down.

Zhou Bai tested out his defense when he sat and stood.

When he sat, Christina could break through his barrier with one puncture of her sword aura, but only the second jab in the same spot inflicted damage.

When he stood, his defense was even weaker. Zhou Bai felt he should be able to withstand a small-caliber gun, but when Christina used her sword aura at full force, she could pierce through him in one jab.

“This star point’s effect is pretty good,” Zhou Bai said to Christina. “This way, I’m buff enough, and I have your sword aura for offense. I don’t think there’s a single student in the entering class who can match me.”

Christina’s sword aura didn’t seem too effective against Zhou Bai, but this sword aura was much more powerful than ordinary guns. It was only because Zhou Bai had such a strong defense that he could take her hits.

“I chose the Sword Map, and the teachers and classmates all think that’s what I’m practicing. I can conceal my defense in normal times. however…”

Zhou Bai looked at the sword aura Christina released. He asked helplessly, “Why did you have to make your sword aura pink?”

Christina slurped, retrieving her sword aura into her mouth. She said with discontent, “Isn’t pink a good color? I think a pink sword aura is really cute; it suits me perfectly.”

Zhou Bai’s lips twitched. Although he was unhappy with the color of the sword aura, he acquiesced because of its power.

Christina would continue practicing her Divine Map in the future, and she could stay in his cognitive sea.

Didn’t that mean he could utilize the powers from two Divine Maps?

He appeared to be practicing the Sword Map but was in fact practicing Deva Nine Disasters.

Christina looked at Zhou Bai bitterly. “I can practice the first star point on the Sword Map on my own, but the remaining six star points all demand elixirs and the use of all sorts of runes and formations. Zhou Bai, you have to help me out!”

Unlike the nine star points on the zeroth layer of Deva Nine Disasters, the zeroth layers of the Sword Map had seven star points. They all enhanced the sword aura to make it more and more lethal.

Hearing Christina’s cries, Zhou Bai nodded. “I’ll think of something. Speaking of…I chose the Sword Map. Tao academy probably prepared related materials for my practice. I’ll go look for them tomorrow.”

Then Zhou Bai looked at the next star point, wanting to see its contents.

But at that moment, a knock came from the door. He heard Jian Xing’s voice.

“Zhou Bai, are you there? There’s something I want to talk with you about.”
