The Primordial Spirit Cannot Leave the Body

Just as Jianxing was feeling puzzled, a surge of Primordial Spirit Power suddenly struck at him. Zhou Bai's 99 points of Primordial Spirit Power collided with his in midair, and neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Hmph." Sensing the deadlock, Jianxing sneered. Waves of black qi began to spread across his face.

The Primordial Spirit Power on his body abruptly broke through the limit of 99, rising in an instant to a full 200 points and shattering Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit Power.

"Zhou Bai, surrender without a fight. I don't want to hurt you."

Bang!

Amid the thunderous blast, another surge of Primordial Spirit Power, completely beyond "Jianxing's" expectations, slammed into his head. His neck was instantly broken, leaving his head twisted and dangling from it. It was Christina's Primordial Spirit Power.

Zhou Bai and Christina each possessed 99 points of Primordial Spirit Power. Their sudden ambush immediately achieved gratifying results.

But to Zhou Bai's surprise, the blow had not killed Jianxing. Instead, even more black qi poured from his body. From his twisted head, a pair of blood-red eyes stared down at Zhou Bai on the ground.

Faces formed from black qi constantly surfaced over Jianxing's face, as though they might break free from the restraints of flesh at any moment.

"Zhou Bai! You..."

Jianxing had just begun to speak when he froze.

In his line of sight, Zhou Bai lay on the ground, paddling with all four limbs as he crawled away while lying down. He moved astonishingly fast, his hands and feet leaving afterimages, creating an indescribably bizarre sight.

Seeing this strange scene, Jianxing could not help but think, Has Zhou Bai undergone aberration?

With no time to dwell on it, Jianxing moved his feet and chased after him. At the same time, with a thought, black qi churned as a full 300 points of Primordial Spirit Power came crashing down at Zhou Bai like a slap.

Bang!

Three hundred points of Primordial Spirit Power were enough to slap a car straight into scrap metal. Yet when they struck Zhou Bai's body, they only made him pause slightly before he immediately shot away again while lying down, leaving a trail of afterimages.

"Hahahaha." Zhou Bai laughed madly inwardly. Christina, didn't I tell you? High-speed movement while lying down is completely feasible with the combination of my physical constitution and Primordial Spirit Power!

Christina said coldly, "You look so perverted right now. Don't talk to me."

In the distance, Elsa had run for a while before wanting to come back, but Zhou Bai immediately shouted at her to leave again. He could still tangle with the enemy for a while, but if Elsa came over, she would only be walking into death.

Zhou Bai shouted inwardly, Run, run! This guy's Primordial Spirit Power is more than triple mine. He's not Jianxing at all!

The "Jianxing" behind him had no intention of chasing down a dog. He simply kept stirring up 300 points of Primordial Spirit Power and blasting them at Zhou Bai.

But it was like stepping on a cockroach. Blow after all-out blow failed to kill Zhou Bai. He could only watch helplessly as Zhou Bai fled farther and farther away, even beginning to yell for help.

"Bastard."

"Why?"

"Why do you all... always have to come and stand in my way?"

Amid piercing shrieks, an incomparably dark and foul aura surged from Jianxing's body.

Jianxing's body collapsed limply to the ground. The black aura transformed into the figure of a woman, who abruptly opened her mouth and roared at Zhou Bai.

Almost the instant the soundwave struck him, Zhou Bai knew something was wrong.

If the previous "Jianxing" had merely been using 300 points of Primordial Spirit Power for ordinary attacks, then this "Jianxing," having abandoned the flesh she had yet to adapt to, was now using 300 points of Primordial Spirit Power to unleash a skill.

Even the defense Zhou Bai gained from lying down could not completely negate this attack. After all, he only had 99 points of Primordial Spirit Power, not even a third of the opponent's.

The soundwave instantly shook Zhou Bai's blood and qi into turmoil, leaving him truly sprawled on the ground and unable to move.

The black shadow shot toward him with a whoosh, streams of black qi about to rush into Zhou Bai.

But in the next moment, "Jianxing" saw Zhou Bai open his mouth and spit out... a cat?

Watching that white cat pounce toward her, Jianxing froze. Just as she was about to use Primordial Spirit Power to seize it—

The cat opened its mouth as well and spat out a beam of pink light at her.

What kind of idiotic Dao technique is this?

"Jianxing" could not understand the logic of spitting out a cat first, then spitting out pink light.

And Christina's pink Sword Qi was faster than "Jianxing" had anticipated. Coupled with the fact that she had rushed all the way up and was too close to Zhou Bai, the Sword Qi flashed through the black shadow in an instant, punching a huge hole through it.

"Aaaah!!!!"

This pink Sword Qi from Christina contained a full 99 points of her Primordial Spirit Power. It was her full-force strike.

The black shadow clearly had very poor resistance to attacks. With its body pierced through, it immediately let out a miserable scream.

Zhou Bai, meanwhile, did not dare delay. He continuously activated his Primordial Spirit Power, dragging himself as he shot away.

A twisted expression appeared on the black shadow's face. Seeing that Zhou Bai had already fled too far and would likely encounter rescuers at any moment, unwillingness flashed across her face.

She had never imagined that, despite possessing three times his Primordial Spirit Power, she would actually let him escape.

But within Donghua Dao School, she did not dare act too recklessly. Seeing that she could not catch Zhou Bai, she could only retreat and prepare to flee.

Yet just as she wanted to escape, she turned around and saw a young man crouching before Jianxing's limp body, reaching out to inspect his condition. This young man was Li Xiuzhu, who had previously investigated the aberration next door to the dormitory with Zhou Bai.

Li Xiuzhu raised his head and looked at the black shadow. "Sakurako, you faked your death and seized another body. You were practically successful already, so why did you attack Zhou Bai?"

The female shadow did not answer. Her body jerked, then shot into the distance, trying to escape.

But Li Xiuzhu's body flickered slightly. He blocked her path at a speed like teleportation, then threw a punch.

Bang!

The female shadow's body was instantly torn apart, more than half of it shattered. After a scream, she transformed into a cloud of black smoke that lingered in place, constantly swelling and contracting. From time to time, it formed a woman's head that stared venomously at Li Xiuzhu.

"Over 1,000 points of Primordial Spirit Power! And he's so young!" The black smoke Sakurako had become churned continuously, jealousy reaching its peak within her. Another genius.

Li Xiuzhu casually glanced at the woman before turning his gaze elsewhere. Zhou Bai, who had just fled, had somehow returned and was now sitting on the ground watching them.

Li Xiuzhu did not mind. He smiled at him. "Don't worry. It's all right now."

After saying that, he looked at the shadow with curiosity. "So it really was the Primordial Spirit leaving the body. To pass the examination, you tried to send your Primordial Spirit out of your body? You wanted to directly use your Primordial Spirit to contact the Spiritual Machine and raise your Daoization Degree?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head. "But like every previous person who tried, you failed. So you prepared a second plan instead—faking your death and seizing another body."
