Chasing Sun - Light Body: Enhances reaction, agility, and explosive power, making the body’s movements faster.
Cultivation method: (Omitted)
Laziness (0/9000)
Seeing the third star point, Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Indeed, the emphasis of this layer is on speed."
He looked at his laziness points, and although he had just spent 9000, he had regained 4000 from selling items.
A thought struck Zhou Bai, and he immediately rushed to the canteen, intending to spend 400 points on extraordinary food, leaving only 100 points for future meals.
…
Inside the canteen, Aunt Wang, who had previously given Zhou Bai an extra scoop of meat, widened her eyes as she watched his fingers sweep across various dishes, and exclaimed in shock, "You’re getting all of these?"
"All of them," Zhou Bai said with a sweep of his hand, "400 points, right? No problem."
Several other students in line also looked over, their faces showing envy as they saw Zhou Bai order so much food.
After all, most students at Dao School might not even get a bowl of meat in a day, let alone see someone order such lavish food.
But how could one person finish all this?
"Hey fellow student, do you want to share a meal?"
"This student, why not give some to friends?"
"Handsome, do you want to eat in my dorm? My bed is big and soft."
"Get lost!" Zhou Bai pushed away the last man who spoke and shouted, "Everyone back off, I can eat it all myself!"
…
Back in his dorm, seeing Zhou Bai pick up one dish after another, only for them to vanish, Elsa looked even more depressed.
Finally, when Zhou Bai reached for a bowl of meat soup again, Elsa made a few serious whimpers and pressed on his hand, seemingly admonishing him not to waste food.
"Whimper."
Watching Elsa shake her head continuously, Zhou Bai assured her, "Don’t worry, Elsa, I just hid it. If you behave well in the coming days, I’ll let you have some."
Christina: "You’re lying to the dog. What’s the use of that?"
Zhou Bai: "I can now sell my own stuff for laziness points."
After speaking, Zhou Bai sadly looked at the delicious food that hadn’t sold out and comforted himself, "Don’t be sad, Zhou Bai. They’re just entering your body in a different way to help you grow stronger."
As Zhou Bai sold over 400 points of food, he gained another 8000+ laziness points in one go, adding to the previously sold 4000, now having over 12,000 laziness points.
He didn’t hesitate to invest 9000 laziness points into the divine chart, thus successfully cultivating Chasing Sun - Light Body.
Along with the lighting up of the third star point, Zhou Bai felt pain all over his body as if being torn apart, his entire physical being crazily transformed, and every nerve screamed in agony.
The whole process made his body more adapted to faster speed, stronger reactions, and greater explosive power.
Half an hour later, Zhou Bai stood up under the worried gazes of Christina and Elsa, slightly twisted his neck, then his right hand flickered slightly and disappeared from view.
Zhou Bai laughed and turned to Christina, "Tina, did you see how many punches I threw just now?"
Christina said, "Eight?"
"Hehehe," Zhou Bai shook his head, "Ten punches, my punching speed is at least twice as fast as before." He then showed his body flashing back and forth within a one-meter radius, creating a series of afterimages, "Both reaction and sensitivity have greatly improved."
"Tina, try your sword qi."
Christina opened her mouth and a blast of pink sword qi shot forth.
Zhou Bai was seen dodging back and forth in the small room, the once incredibly fast flying sword now seemed much slower in his eyes.
It took more than ten moves before one could hit him.
Zhou Bai: ’If I were to take off my shirt, the effect should be even stronger.’
Christina exclaimed, "So fast? Your movement speed in the first realm should be among the fastest now. This is only the third star point, if this keeps up, in the same realm, you will be the toughest and also the fastest."
"Right now, it’s just the movement speed, meaning the speed of attacks and evasions has increased."
"But the displacement speed didn’t increase this time, however, if we look ahead..."
Zhou Bai looked towards the next star point.
Chasing the Sun - Flying: The spiritual mechanism around the body will assist in moving, enhancing movement speed. Note: As long as you run fast enough, debts can’t catch up with me.
Cultivation method: (omitted)
Laziness (0/13000)
"Will it really enhance the movement speed?" Zhou Bai wondered silently. "But 13,000 points of laziness value, the cost of laziness is getting higher and higher."
"13,000 points of laziness value is nothing," Christina said enviously, jealously, and resentfully. "Your divine chart, enhancing defensive power at layer 0, enhancing speed at layer 1, it seems you are on a path of comprehensive enhancement."
Zhou Bai asked worriedly, "With comprehensive enhancement, wouldn’t every aspect be mediocre?"
"Look at your ’Lie Like a Mountain’! How could that possibly be mediocre?" Christina said indignantly. "From ’Lie Like a Mountain’ alone, it’s evident that your divine chart’s enhancement in every aspect is absurdly strong. I dare say no other divine chart has a star point with a defensive enhancement as absurd as ’Lie Like a Mountain.’
Moreover, a divine chart doesn’t just enhance once; as your level of Dao integration increases, the effects of the star points on your divine chart will only get stronger.
For instance, ’Lie Like a Mountain,’ when your Dao integration reaches 15%, 20%, it will be enhanced again. You’ll probably always be among the cultivators of your level with the strongest defense."
"Is that so?" Zhou Bai, excited by Christina’s analysis, immediately brightened up but soon shook his head anxiously again. "It’s a pity that I can’t read from the Dao Repository now. Otherwise, if I could quickly increase my Dao integration to 15%, wouldn’t my defensive power and all other abilities greatly increase again?"
"Not being able to read is just temporary," Christina said sourly. "Besides, even if you don’t read from the Dao Repository, relying on laziness value alone to level up will make you advance faster than most people, without any side effects."
Zhou Bai shook his head, "Let’s first try to see if we can solve it through Dr. Zhuang’s secret. If all else fails, then we’ll use laziness value to increase Dao integration."
In the following week, as Zhou Bai diligently practiced, time quickly passed, and the gemstone’s cooldown finally arrived.
...
Meanwhile, that same night, teacher Kuang Tu was frowning, looking at his records: "Zhou Bai’s talent in body refinement... isn’t as impressive as I imagined."
In these past two weeks, Kuang Tu had been beating Jiang Weishan, Zhao Xiu, and Zhou Bai daily.
He was pounding their physical bodies, tempering their wills.
"That Zhou Bai, aside from the first time when he was beaten and cried out loud, thinking of running away, later on, stopped dodging or running away, and even fought through the pain in his body and voluntarily exchanged punches with me. But..."
Kuang Tu sighed, "Jiang Weishan, Zhao Xiu, and Zhou Bai should all be in a rapid rise phase of their cultivation journey.
Yet, after two weeks of interaction, Kuang Tu could distinctly feel that Zhou Bai’s speed in body refinement was far behind Jiang Weishan and Zhao Xiu.
The latter two were real geniuses, whereas Zhou Bai’s progress mainly depended on his fast recovery rate, taking much more beating.
"Although Zhao Xiu’s physical strength hasn’t caught up with Zhou Bai yet, if this efficiency continues, him catching up and even surpassing Zhou Bai is just a matter of time."
Kuang Tu shook his head, "Perhaps... the divine chart wasn’t chosen correctly?" he pondered secretly. "Zhou Bai’s divine chart is a path of the sword cultivator, after all, it’s not really suited for the body refinement route.
On the other hand, Jiang Weishan’s saber chart path cultivates martial skills very quickly, and the second layer he chose, the Vajra Chart, significantly enhances body refinement techniques.
Zhao Xiu’s axe chart path awakens his bloodline, and the first layer he picked, the Mountain Ape Chart, strengthens his physical body every day..."
Still, considering Zhou Bai’s exhibited physical strength, he decided to wait and see.
"Let’s try a different body refinement method these next two weeks, perhaps one used by sword cultivators," Kuang Tu thought to himself. "If, after a month, he still can’t catch up with Zhao Xiu and Jiang Weishan, perhaps Zhou Bai just isn’t cut out for body refinement."

That evening, after another battle of wits with the imagined watchers, Zhou Bai once again arrived at the entrance of the abandoned hospital.
He checked the time, "Still ten minutes, let’s explore for ten minutes. If there’s an issue, Time Reverse."
"You go ahead, Christina."
He then took off his upper garment and placed it aside.
He crouched down, hands touching the ground.
In a flash of his eyes, Christina took control of his physical body.
Just then, Christina smiled and then in a flash, she had crawled int...
