Wentian Zheng was just about to make a move, but Zhou Bai’s action was several times faster than his. With a direct kick to his chest, Zhou Bai sent him flying.
Bang!
Boom!
Following that, Ying Hui and the Golden Armored God General both made their moves, each pulling Zhou Bai and Wentian Zheng back respectively.
Wentian Zheng still wanted to fight but was firmly stopped by the Golden Armored God General: "Calm down, young master. Have you forgotten the senior’s instructions?"
Upon hearing these words, Wentian Zheng barely calmed down, but his eyes fixed on Zhou Bai intensely, much like a dog in heat, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.
Ying Hui glanced at him and then looked ecstatically at Zhou Bai, "You’ve won, Zhou Bai. Starting from today, you are the number one of the special training class. Haha." He couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
The other students all looked at Zhou Bai with disbelief.
Zhao Xiu: "First realm beating the third realm? If someone had told me this before, I would’ve thought they were mad."
Lu Wanzhen: "Regardless of physical strength or peak speed after exploding with power, Zhou Bai’s strength has completely transcended the concept of the first layer. The key point is that none of these functions are in the sword diagram. Did he develop them through his own martial practice? What kind of terrifying talent is this?"
Liu Bingxin and Zuo Dao looked at Zhou Bai somewhat blankly, their minds went blank, feeling like they could never catch up with him in their lifetimes.
Qian Wangsun kept shaking his head and sighing endlessly, exclaiming, "Damn it. That’s just too damn impressive. This level of explosive power, this physical strength, this guy must be some sort of freak."
Christina breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Zhou Bai’s true cultivation level was at the second realm, and there were the additional special boosts from the lazy and poor diagrams, as well as the special enhancements from the original Dao repository, fighting against the third realm still wore her out.
Thus, Christina immediately switched with Zhou Bai, and went back to the sea of consciousness to rest.
Taking control of his body, Zhou Bai almost immediately gasped from the pain, feeling as though his entire body had been rolled over and was sore and weak.
"Tina, you’ve worked hard."
"Meow~" Christina let out a sound and then curled up into a ball, falling asleep in Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness, snoring away.
Zhou Bai looked at the excited Wentian Zheng and suddenly had an idea, unable to resist saying, "Hey, don’t be so worked up about losing. You can challenge me again next time. Lend me some credits later; I’ll treat you to dinner."
Wentian Zheng was about to refuse, but when he actually opened his mouth, he felt as if possessed and said, "Alright, I’ll lend you some later."
Wentian Zheng: "!"
Zhou Bai laughed excitedly, "Then let’s have dinner together later."
The Golden Armored God General murmured to the side, "The young master is truly generous. As a descendant of immortals, a leader of humankind, it’s only right to have such a spirit. The senior would surely be very pleased to know."
Ying Hui also nodded in approval, "Sparring is just sparring; you should not harbor grudges or resentment. Our real enemy is the Heavenly Demon. On the battlefield, you are all comrades."
Wentian Zheng really wanted to immediately take back what he said, but under everyone’s gaze, he felt unable to voice his regret. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the thought of treating Zhou Bai to a meal made him involuntarily vomit blood again, his cheeks flushing with a hint of crimson.
The Golden Armored God General immediately helped Wentian Zheng to sit down at the side and took out a medicinal pill to start treating his injuries.
Ying Hui personally took Zhou Bai to the side. He looked at Zhou Bai as if looking at a precious treasure, which made Zhou Bai feel somewhat creeped out. He then said, "You performed very well this time, exceptionally well. I’ll take you to a place tomorrow."
Zhou Bai looked at the other party unexpectedly, "Could there be some hidden reward for coming in first place?" He suddenly remembered Meng Ruocun, who he hadn’t seen in years.
On the other side, the Golden Armored God General comforted Zheng Wentian, saying, "Young Master, don’t be impatient. You only lost to your opponent this time because you underestimated them. In reality, your true strength is stronger. If your opponent hadn’t constantly surprised us, you wouldn’t have lost.
Moreover, you are about to break through to the fourth realm. In the assessment two months from now, you will definitely be able to defeat your opponent and take back the first place."
Zheng Wentian gradually calmed down. Although his heart was tumultuous, his expression did not seem so angry anymore. He nodded silently, "What you said is right, in two months... I will surely defeat him. But how do I return today’s humiliation?"
The Golden Armored God General was slightly startled. Indeed, even if Zheng Wentian defeated Zhou Bai two months later, it would be seen as bullying the weaker by the stronger. The humiliation of losing to someone from the first realm when one was in the third realm would still be hard to repay.
Zheng Wentian stared coldly at Zhou Bai and said to himself, "This great shame... can only be washed away with blood."
Seeing Zheng Wentian’s expression, the Golden Armored God General knew roughly what he was thinking and sighed inwardly, "Alas, as the saying goes, ’A tree that stands out in the forest is often blown down by the wind.’ Zhou Bai was too impulsive this time. How could he so easily have offended a Heavenly Demon descent?"
It reminded him of two years ago when there was a genius youth in Central City who emerged out of nowhere and even defeated several Heavenly Demon descendants, only to die an untimely death, leaving behind a profound regret.
With the duel between Zhou Bai and Zheng Wentian, the following battles no longer attracted much attention. Everyone was still immersed in the recent fight, marveling at the strength of the Heavenly Demon descent and the incredibility of Zhou Bai.
Meanwhile, Zhou Bai sat on the side, completely motionless, as his injuries, energy, and physical strength all recovered rapidly.
An hour later, when the practical exam had ended, Zhou Bai felt that his body was almost fully recovered.
He quickly went up to Zheng Wentian with a grin and said, "Let’s go. You lend me the points, and I’ll treat you to dinner. That way, no one loses out."
"Are we going to fleece a fat sheep?" Qian Wangsun’s head popped out from behind Zhou Bai at some point, "Treat us to dinner? Count me in."
"Together, together," Zhou Bai also raised his hand and shouted, "Today I got first place, let’s all go to the cafeteria, I’m treating everyone to dinner!"
Zheng Wentian’s face turned angry, and he said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
"So happy today, let’s all enjoy ourselves," Zhou Bai said. "You lend me the points, and I’ll treat everyone."
Zheng Wentian wanted to flatly refuse, but the words that came to his lips turned into, "Fine, I’ll lend them to you later." He suddenly covered his mouth, a look of rage on his face as he stared at Zhou Bai: ’Damn it, why did I agree to that?’
Upon hearing Zhou Bai’s words, everyone present cheered. Cultivation resources were scarce, and even the special class students were careful with their spending; no one would complain about having too much to eat.
Thus, a group of people followed Zhou Bai to the cafeteria in a lively and boisterous trip.
While Zhou Bai was ordering food, he was testing how many points he could borrow from Zheng Wentian. In the end, he ordered food worth 50 human rations, plus dishes that totaled 150 points. But no matter how eloquent Zhou Bai was, Zheng Wentian refused to lend any more.

’Looks like I can only borrow up to 200 points from Zheng Wentian.’ Zhou Bai felt a bit regretful, then got somewhat excited, "I’ll try again tomorrow; borrowing 200 points every day would be great."
’And now that I’m in first place, I get 2400 points per month. I’ll earn even more laziness points.’
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Zheng Wentian: ’Such a fat sheep.’
On the other hand, when Zheng Wentian saw Zhou Bai smiling over at him, he snorted coldly. The thought of having to treat others after his loss made him angrier the more he thought about it. He grabbed a bowl of human ration and started to eat hungrily. When he reached for some dishes, he found that the meat dishes worth 150 points had already been devoured, and he hadn’t gotten a single bite.
"These guys!" Blue veins throbbed on Zheng Wentian’s forehead. "Are they pigs?"
"Damn it... Damn it... The more I think about it, the angrier I get... Why did I lend points to Zhou Bai? From now on, even if it kills me, I won’t lend him any points."
"You wait for me, Zhou Bai..."
