"Just diligently leveling up through non-stop training, nearly a week had gone by, and Zhou Bai’s Dao transformation rate had risen to 14.9%, finally about to surpass the 15% minor threshold."
"He was seated cross-legged before the Evil Root Breaking Law Divine Statue, in his dorm room, with eyes tightly shut, his Primordial Spirit tangled around the statue, continuously visualizing its form in his mind."
"After a long while, he felt as though there was a cracking sound inside his head."
"His Dao transformation rate finally broke through to 15%."
"It was as if an invisible barrier had been shattered, Zhou Bai suddenly opened his eyes, and felt his Primordial Spirit’s power was much more refined and agile."
"Strange sounds came from his body, and the spiritual energy around him surged into Zhou Bai’s body, enhancing the divine diagrams he had cultivated before."
"Even Zhou Bai’s bones made a series of light popping sounds, and he astonishingly grew two centimeters taller, his whole body becoming more upright."
"Simultaneously, Zhou Bai sensed a mysterious connection between his Primordial Spirit and his physical body, though it wasn’t profound and vanished in a flash."
"’This must be the transformation of Primordial Spirit and body that can truly be achieved at 20% Dao transformation rate, which is the ability of the second realm, the Dual Extremity Realm, and this is just a glimpse of it.’"

"Thus, Zhou Bai first retrieved the statue, then clenched his fists, feeling the changes in his body."
"’My physical strength has been enhanced again. Well, most of the divine diagram’s dots are indeed for increasing physical strength, and now having been comprehensively strengthened again, the effect is obviously better.’"
"Zhou Bai lay down, his Primordial Spirit subtly sensing his condition, without even trying, he knew that his body’s defensive power had greatly increased."
"Having battled Jiang Weishan dozens of times, Zhou Bai could now feel that his defensive power, after lying down, might not be much weaker than Jiang Weishan, who had mastered the Vajra Diagram and the perfect Golden Bell Shield."
"No, being in the first realm, my defensive power might now be even slightly stronger than Jiang Weishan’s in the second realm."
"’The effects of the Original Dao Treasury, Dr. Zhuang’s message said it’s stronger than the ordinary Dao Treasuries, but who knows if that’s true or not.’"
"’But to know exactly how much my defensive power has increased, I’ll have to fight to find out.’ Zhou Bai thought confidently, ’Tomorrow, I’ll have a good spar with Jiang Weishan to see just how much it has enhanced. After all, Christina can’t even measure my defensive power now.’"
Christina, eager on the side, said, "How about it? There’s no problem, right? Can I cultivate the Original Dao Treasury now? Let me tell you, my Dao transformation rate is already at 9.9%, just waiting to break through 10% with the Original Dao Treasury, otherwise I would already be at the first realm, having Protective Gang Qi."
"Zhou Bai nodded, ’I’ve been using the Original Dao Treasury for cultivation during this period and indeed haven’t found any issues, but since I just broke through to 15%, let’s wait a day for me to adapt. If there’s still no problem tomorrow, then you all can start practicing.’"
"Not to mention the excited Christina, Zhou Bai then turned to the bewildered Elsa."
"Elsa, don’t worry, I have thought of a way for you, you’ll definitely be able to do it too."
"Zhou Bai, touching his chin, gazed at the Original Dao Treasury 01 with red eyes, couldn’t help thinking, ’Once Tina and Elsa have finished their training, I can sell this thing.’"
"’500,000 lazy energy points, that’s at least a year’s worth of bitter sleep saved.’"
"..."
"In the office of the special training class."
"Kuang Tu, frowning, said, ’Zhou Bai’s talent for Body Refinement might not be as we expected.’ With that, he reported the situation of the past month to Ying Hui."
"’He might not be truly suitable for Body Refinement. I suspect his divine bloodline only once increased his physical strength, and after joining the Body Refinement class, his efficiency in cultivation has always been poor.’"
"Ying Hui, ’How could that be? Have you tried anything else?’"
"’I’ve tried everything I could.’ Kuang Tu shook his head, ’In the past two weeks, I even tried to make him cultivate the Human-Sword Unity, but he didn’t practice it. This kid’s very slick, always playing tricks on me, and even started skipping classes."
"’But to really make him practice by holding his head down, that’s not meaningful either. Cultivation is all about personal will."
"’If in another week or two, he still doesn’t listen to me and practice, then it’s also fine if he doesn’t attend the Body Refinement class.’"
"Ying Hui sighed, ’You’re the expert in this field, I’ll listen to you on this matter.’"
"After Kuang Tu left, Ying Hui scratched his head, thinking somewhat troubled, ’Zhou Bai, this kid, why doesn’t he ever listen... How should I cultivate you next.’"
"Sword Cultivator speaking, Old Snake said he wasn’t very suited to it, he doesn’t need excessive Swordsmanship besides the divine diagram, just go for Body Refinement. Now Kuang Tu also says he can’t do Body Refinement, what should we do?"
Just then, a knock sounded, and Ying Hui looked at the visitor with puzzlement, "Who are you?"
The other smiled and replied, "Heard there’s a troublesome student on your side? I’m actually quite interested in him."
…
The next morning in the cafeteria.
Zhou Bai was continuously drinking a bowl of medicinal soup, which was made from hundreds of different herbs and added with various supernatural substances.
You must know that nowadays all extraordinary medicinal materials containing spiritual mechanisms and extraordinary standards all originate from the government’s agriculture department’s specialized cultivation, a highly valued industry by the human government today.
And such a bowl of soup, gathering over a hundred types of medicinal ingredients, cost a whopping 30 points—a delicacy among the breakfast options.
These days, all supernatural resources were controlled by the government, and ordinary people simply couldn’t obtain them, only within Dao School could one easily come into contact with such things.
While Zhou Bai was drinking his soup, the students around couldn’t help but give him a few glances, licking their lips.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai was focused on his breakfast, and in front of him was the charmingly smiling teacher Lin Muqing.
Today the female teacher wore a business suit, somewhat tight-fitting clothes wrapped around her body, displaying a curvy figure.
She just watched Zhou Bai eat, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Christina resentfully remarked, "Dressing so seductively, her breasts are about to burst out of her shirt, definitely pushed up!"
Zhou Bai, "You don’t have class this morning, go back to sleep."
Yet, Zhou Bai looked at the woman in front of him with gratitude, "Teacher Lin, thank you for treating me to breakfast."
"Just a small matter," said Lin Muqing. "After all, student Zhou Bai, your talent is so great, you’re the hope of future humanity. I quite like you."
Zhou Bai nodded, "Teacher, how is Little Pei doing?"
Having previously taken numerous documents from Dr. Zhuang’s laboratory, Zhou Bai had looked through them. Although he couldn’t fully understand, he knew they contained a lot of information about cloning technology, which might help treat Little Pei’s severed limbs.
"Little Pei," Lin Muqing sighed, "Her condition isn’t good. She’s too strong-willed. She seems unconcerned on the surface, but in fact, she’s taking it very hard inside. The more so, the harder it is for her mindset and spirit to maintain well.
She even recently applied to the principal for euthanasia."
"Euthanasia?" Zhou Bai’s eyes narrowed, "Is it that serious?"
A trace of sorrow flashed in Lin Muqing’s eyes, speaking softly, "Among human cultivators, people choose euthanasia every year. When the Dao percentage falls below 20%, some can still endure it, but not necessarily at 30% or 40%.
Those who can withstand the rise in Dao percentage, when they encounter severe injuries, the death of friends and family, or failure in war, may not necessarily endure it.
The cultivators who feel they can’t hold on will naturally choose euthanasia before they deform, and it’s also a way to reduce harm."
Zhou Bai sighed, "Is there no way to let Little Pei accept the treatment for limb regeneration?"
Lin Muqing shook her head, "The situation at the front line is not good, medical resources are very scarce, and too many powerful cultivators need limb regeneration. After all, the Heavenly Demon can regenerate, losing a powerful cultivator is a great loss.
Unless the war takes a turn for the better, it seems Little Pei won’t have a chance."
"Is that so?" Zhou Bai was somewhat at a loss for words.
Just then, Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t have to fight?"
Zhou Bai, "That’s tough, unless the Heavenly Demon is killed."
"Killing the Heavenly Demon, that’s too difficult," lamented Lin Muqing. "Too difficult… Can’t our sides just coexist peacefully?"
