In the following days, Zhou Bai would idle during the day and spend the early part of the night studying the theory of cultivation with Jing Xiu. The latter part of the night was dedicated to practicing the Gale Breath Walk and the Breathing Technique to increase his Primordial Spirit power.
Before he knew it, several days had passed, and the cooldown time for the gemstone had finally ended.
That night, Zhou Bai, who was sitting crossed-legged on the bed slowly practicing the Breathing Technique, opened his eyes and checked his auxiliary panel.
During this period, through daily practice of the Breathing Technique, his Primordial Spirit value had reached 1025.
With a base of 10% Dao conversion, he had spent over four months studying the Dao scriptures each night, improving his cultivation level and finally reaping the rewards.
Now, Zhou Bai’s efficiency in practicing the Breathing Technique had caught up with most students.
"Indeed, the Breathing Technique is now much more cost-effective than relying on laziness value. Until I find a new source of laziness value, I’ll stick to practicing the Breathing Technique daily."
"Special class students probably have a similar efficiency. In less than a year’s time, they can raise their Primordial Spirit value from 1000 to 2000 points."
"However, if I can accumulate more laziness, using laziness value later on would make the progress faster."
Having finished his nightly Breathing Technique practice, Zhou Bai stood up and said to Christina, who was sleeping in his sea of consciousness, "Let’s go, Christina."
Christina opened her eyes laboriously, stretched languidly, turned over, and mumbled, "Sigh, grinding for others during the day, and now working overtime at night."
…
Treading carefully and using various anti-tracking methods, Zhou Bai visited the hospital again.
"The Original Dao Scriptures are inside the twisted hospital, but I can’t violently break into the laboratory secret chamber there."
"So first, I need to forcefully enter the basement in the normal hospital to find a way to open the chamber door."
This time, having a clear objective and armed with the 10-minute Time Reverse for insurance, Zhou Bai was well prepared.
’Tina, you take control.’
The next moment, Zhou Bai took off his shirt and shoes, then, with a light leap, he soared into the air. As his breathing and Primordial Spirit power circulated, a faint breeze enveloped him.
In an instant, he had entered the hospital with a speed invisible to the naked eye, moving swiftly like a ghost of the night, covering tens of meters in the blink of an eye with hardly any sound.
"The Gale Breath Walk has three stages: mild breeze, whirlwind, and storm." Zhou Bai thought to himself, "The storm mode is best for attacking, the whirlwind mode for fleeing and covering distances, and the mild breeze mode for stealth and sneaking quietly."
"Although I’ve only mastered the mild breeze and whirlwind so far, it’s more than enough for exploring the hospital."
Silently, Zhou Bai reached the morgue, then with a flick of his finger, Primordial Spirit power surged, and the laboratory’s secret chamber wall was breached.
"I’ve already looked through the notebook last time; although it has many secrets, it didn’t reveal how to enter this secret laboratory."
"Let’s start by examining the laboratory; there might be instructions there on how to enter the secret laboratory."
"Tina, let’s search together."
Then, the Primordial Spirit power of a man and a cat surged through the entire laboratory, searching for documents and data.
It wasn’t clear whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, but due to Dr. Zhuang’s earlier evacuation, except for the notebook he left behind, other documentation was very sparse.
However, it was precisely because of this scarcity that Zhou Bai quickly found what he needed.
He picked up a booklet, which contained the structural diagram and instructions for the entire secret laboratory.
He quickly flipped through a few pages and immediately found the way to enter and exit the laboratory.
It was a mechanism driven by Primordial Spirit power, requiring the Primordial Spirit power to knock on the interior of the walls in a specific rhythm.
Zhou Bai quickly memorized the content.
There were eight minutes left until the ten-minute limit for Time Reverse.
Then, in a flash, he appeared on the stain in the center of the morgue, bringing a hint of breeze with him.
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of light changes and dim green lights, lines of body bags, Zhou Bai found himself once again in the twisted hospital.
In another flash, Zhou Bai appeared in front of the secret room door as if teleporting, pointed his finger, and Primordial Spirit power surged forth, quickly seeping into the cracks of the walls.
Finally, following the rhythm recorded earlier, Zhou Bai controlled the Primordial Spirit power to tap on several specific spots.
Moments later, the sound of clicking was heard, and the door immediately opened.
"Success."
However, as the secret room door gradually opened, various colliding figures and the sound of chains falling echoed from the corridor behind Zhou Bai.

"Are they coming?" Zhou Bai turned around. Previously, when he opened the secret room in the twisted hospital, he was surrounded and attacked by numerous clones of Dr. Zhuang, these monsters surviving due to the twisted rules.
Now, they were again flooding into the morgue, lunging toward Zhou Bai.
But Zhou Bai now, unlike a week ago, not only understood many of the twisted rules here but had also advanced to the fifth node and mastered the Gale Breath Walk martial art; under Christina’s operation, his combat power had soared.
Zhou Bai, calm and composed, first controlled a specialty light stone made by Xia Li to shoot out, emitting a burst of flash.
Blinded by the continuously flickering bright light, the monsters momentarily paused and looked bewildered.
Zhou Bai thought with a smile, ’Indeed, these fellows have no Primordial Spirit power; they rely on their eyes and ears to sense enemies.’
"Tina! Use Gale Breath Walk!"
"I know! Meow!"
The next moment, Zhou Bai appeared behind a monster like a ghost, kicking out with a foot carrying whirlwinds, harshly striking the monster’s chest.
With a loud bang, the monster’s breastbone instantly shattered; the body grotesquely twisted and deformed, collapsing onto the ground.
At the same time, a pink Sword Qi shot out, slicing another monster in half.
Zhou Bai stood as the light stone in front of him flashed repeatedly at the surrounding monsters, stripping them of their sight.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai’s figure moved like a phantom, darting back and forth, stirring up whirlwinds with each kick, sending a monster flying with most of its bones shattered each time.
Simultaneously, a pink Sword Qi closely followed by Zhou Bai’s side, occasionally slashing at monsters, bringing up a trail of blood and shattered stone.
In less than a minute, all the monsters, like encountering a tornado, lay scattered on the ground, leaving only Zhou Bai hovering in mid-air on a whirlwind, slowly descending.
"Well done, Tina."
He checked the time, six minutes remaining.
Zhou Bai gave a slight smile, his figure flashed, and he shot towards the laboratory.
The twisted laboratory looked completely different from the one in reality, appearing shiny and tidy, with numerous culture tanks still containing clones that seemed ready to wake up at any moment.
