"Looking at the time, it was about to hit ten minutes," Zhou Bai quickly strode forward toward the depths of the laboratory, planning to seal the Primordial Spirit and end the distortion in the hospital.
But when he reached the door of the room in the deepest part, and opened it, he found nothing inside.
He frowned and crouched down, only to see two obvious marks on the ground that were lighter than the surrounding area.
It was clear that something had been placed there for a long time, but now it was gone.
Christina: "The statues have been taken away? How could this be?"
"No, that’s not right." Zhou Bai shook his head as he took out Doctor Zhuang’s notes to read again, "So that’s how it is."
"After the distortion is triggered, the Primordial Spirit will also gradually fade into the void."
"To reseal the Primordial Spirit, I need to enter the distorted hospital."
"It looks like there’s no time left today."
After thinking it over, with less than half a minute left, Zhou Bai decided to enter the hospital after the distortion now, to test the information he had just obtained, then reverse time back to ten minutes prior, to avoid triggering anything during his exploration today.
He quickly walked back to the center of the mortuary, toward the pool of black bloodstain.
The next moment, the ghastly green light shone down again, and what appeared before Zhou Bai were rows upon rows of body bags.
"Tina!"
Zhou Bai saw himself lying on the ground, while at the same time a pink Sword Qi swept across his arm.
When the Sword Qi collided, it made a sound as if metal clashed with gold.
"Defensive power is still there, as expected... It’s only the attacks of those strange people that can ignore defenses," he thought.
Zhou Bai’s ears twitched slightly, and he could hear the sound of a cart coming. A moment later, he saw a short figure with asymmetrical eyes, looking a lot like Doctor Zhuang, pushing a gurney into the mortuary.
As soon as the figure saw him, it let out a piercing scream, pulled out a large cleaver from under the gurney, and charged at Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai extended his palm experimentally, allowing the cleaver to slash across his arm.
Looking at the blood marks on his arm, Zhou Bai: "In this world, I can no longer fight the way I used to."
Zhou Bai roared, his upper body muscles violently trembled, and his shirt completely burst open, turning into shreds that sprinkled in the air.
Zhou Bai’s speed dramatically increased once he was shirtless.
He left behind afterimages, moving so fast that he was but a blur. He appeared behind the strange figure in an instant, and punched it squarely in the back.
His fist went through as if hitting tofu, piercing straight through the chest. The creature convulsed once, then stopped moving.
"Just like before, their defensive power is quite weak." Zhou Bai pondered: "Whoever gets hit first dies first, right?"
Listening to the growing howls coming from the direction of the corridor, Zhou Bai quietly activated the gemstone and returned to ten minutes later.
"Next week, I’ll go straight into the distorted laboratory to seal and retrieve the Primordial Spirit."
Having temporarily finished the exploration for the week, Zhou Bai returned to school to begin his Body Refinement practice.
...
The next day, Zhou Bai did not go to sleep right away because it was the day of the month when points were distributed. He had just received 1,500 points and couldn’t wait to sell assets in exchange for laziness points.
After all, he still had to continue exploring the hospital after the distortion, which was even more dangerous. His usual defenses were ineffective, and he needed other powers, like desperate speed.
So, as soon as the points were credited, Zhou Bai immediately exchanged a thousand points for food, planning to take all of it to go.
Aunt Wang watched Zhou Bai’s non-stop ordering, embarrassedly saying: "Are you sure it’s okay? Eating so much at once?"
Zhou Bai replied: "It’s fine, it’s fine. I’ve burnt a lot of energy with Body Refinement today, so I need to eat more."
Aunt Wang watched Zhou Bai walking away and frowned: "This guy... always seems a bit unreliable."
On the flip side, Zhou Bai, back in his dorm, began frantically selling off the food.
Elsa kept circling him, watching one extraordinary food after another disappear—various kinds of shrimp, ribs, medicinal soups—crying out in distress and constantly stretching out a paw to block Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai sold the food while lamenting deeply, "Elsa, do you think I’m not heartbroken? I want to eat too. But all this is so I can cultivate better, so you can become human again, so humans can defeat Heavenly Demon."
Finally, he exchanged all the food worth 1000 points for laziness points, and Zhou Bai’s laziness points surged by more than twenty thousand.

Moon Rush - Barefoot: Walking barefoot can significantly increase movement speed, displacement speed, and reaction speed. Note: Barefooted aren’t afraid of those with shoes, because you run faster than them.
Cultivation Method: (omitted)
Laziness (0/15000)
Zhou Bai let out a sigh and then added 15000 laziness points to the fifth star point.
Instantly, he felt a burning sensation starting from the soles of his feet, gradually spreading throughout his body.
Bang! With a burst of Primordial Spirit power, Zhou Bai’s shoes instantly shattered to pieces.
It was in this process of becoming barefoot that Zhou Bai felt an incredible harmony as his feet touched the ground.
Inside and out, his body seemed to resonate with an immense sense of harmony.
"This is... nature."
Vague realizations flickered through Zhou Bai’s mind, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"No... this is poverty."
Boom! Instantly, his upper garment fragmented, leaving him bare-chested and barefoot, clad only in long pants.
His perfect abs, the Adonis belt, a strong yet slender body, was exposed in an instant.
Then Zhou Bai’s figure flickered, and in a flash, as if he used a cloning technique, his image filled the small room amid a surging windstorm.
Christina also couldn’t help but rapidly turn her head and roll her eyes to focus on the elusive shadows. Soon, she felt overwhelmed trying to follow him with her gaze.
Yet watching the rapidly moving Zhou Bai, she couldn’t help but want to stretch out a paw and slap at him.

After realizing she couldn’t hit him, she couldn’t help releasing a pink Sword Qi, chasing after Zhou Bai.
Swoosh!
Watching the oncoming Sword Qi, Zhou Bai laughed, "Nice try!"
Then one saw Zhou Bai’s body dart slightly, directly confronting the Sword Qi head-on, suddenly veering, accelerating, and managing to make the Sword Qi barely miss him.
"Hahaha, too slow, too slow, Christina you’re too slow!"
Christina meowed, her paws reaching out through the air towards Zhou Bai. Meanwhile, her controlled Sword Qi also quivered gently, incessantly jabbing towards Zhou Bai’s figure.
But in Zhou Bai’s eyes, what was a flashing sword attack in the eyes of ordinary people now seemed as slow as a child playing with a sword.
No, it wasn’t just Christina’s Sword Qi that was slow, it was as if the entire world had slowed down.
Christina’s excited breathing, the hairs constantly falling.
Elsa’s puzzled face, occasionally glancing at the reserve human food nearby.
The cat fur and dog fur scattered in the air.
The notebook that fell from the table due to the vibration.
Everything seemed so slow in Zhou Bai’s eyes at the moment... except for himself.
Then one saw Zhou Bai smiling as he approached Christina’s Sword Qi, and as it jabbed back and forth, left and right, he moved with it, weaving and leaping. Christina’s Sword Qi couldn’t touch Zhou Bai at all.
