Chapter 50: You Must Not Let Your Primordial Spirit Separate From Your Body
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Right as Jian Xing was feeling puzzled, a force of primordial spirit power suddenly punched toward him. The 99-point primordial spirit power collided into his in mid-air, at a stalemate.

“Hmph.” The moment he felt they were at a stalemate, Jian Xing scoffed. Clouds of black smoke seeped out of Jian Xing’s face.

Jian Xing’s primordial spirit power suddenly broke through the 99-point limit and instantly rose to 200 points. It broke through Zhou Bai’s primordial spirit power.

“Zhou Bai, surrender now. I don’t want to hurt you.”

Bang!

Another force of primordial spirit power unexpectedly hit Jian Xing’s head. It snapped his neck, and his head hung on his neck in a distorted manner. That was Christina’s primordial spirit power.

Zhou Bai and Christina both had 99 points of primordial spirit power. They combined to explode at this moment.

But what surprised Zhou Bai was this strike didn’t kill Jian Xing. Instead, even more black smoke seeped out from all over his body. On his broken head, a pair of crimson-glowing eyes locked their gaze on Zhou Bai.

A human face made of black smoke rose out from Jian Xing’s face, as if it was going to break through the constraint of the body at any moment.

“Zhou Bai! You little…”

Jian Xing was just about to speak but froze the next moment.

In his vision, Zhou Bai lay on the floor, moving his limbs. He crawled while lying down the entire way, and he was extremely fast. His arms and legs moved so quickly you could only see their afterimages. The whole scene looked indescribably creepy.

Seeing this eerie sight, Jian Xing couldn’t help but think, Did Zhou Bai just mutate?

He didn’t have time to think about this. Jian Xing took a step and ran over. At the same time, he directed his will. Black smoke rolled, and 300 points of primordial spirit power slammed down on Zhou Bai.

Boom!

Three hundred points of primordial spirit power were enough to flatten a car. But now they hit Zhou Bai’s body and made Zhou Bai halt for only a moment. Then he continued to scurry out while lying down, leaving only his shadow.

Hahahaha! Zhou Bai laughed in his mind. “Christina, didn’t I tell you? Moving rapidly while lying down is completely possible with the cooperation of my physique and primordial spirit power.”

Christina said coldly, “You look so creepy right now. Don’t talk to me.”

In the distance, Elsa ran for a bit and wanted to come back, but Zhou Bai yelled at her to leave. He could still fight against Jian Xing for a while, but if Elsa came, she would be heading toward certain death.

Zhou Bai shouted in his mind, I have to run. This guy’s primordial spirit power is triple that of mine. He’s not Jian Xing at all!

The “Jian Xing” behind them didn’t look like he wanted to chase after a dog either. He just attacked Zhou Bai with 300 points of primordial spirit power over and over.

But it was like stepping on a cockroach. One full-strength attack after another still couldn’t kill Zhou Bai. Jian Xing could only watch Zhou Bai get farther and farther away. He even started screaming, calling for help.

“B*stard.

“Why?

“Why do all of you…always try to stop me?”

In the deafening screams, an incredibly dark, filthy aura gushed out of Jian Xing’s body.

Jian Xing’s body fell to the floor limply. The black aura condensed into a female figure. She opened her mouth wide and roared at Zhou Bai.

The moment the sound reached Zhou Bai, he knew something was awful.

If the “Jian Xing” from before was only making normal attacks with 300 points of primordial spirit power, then the “Jian Xing” that had now abandoned its unsuitable body was using 300 points of primordial spirit power to launch new techniques.

Even with Zhou Bai’s defense lying down, he couldn’t completely avoid this attack. After all, his primordial spirit power was only 99 points, less than a third of his opponent’s.

This sound wave attack instantly made Zhou Bai’s blood boil in his veins. He fell to the ground, unable to move.

The black shadow charged at him. Lines of black smoke were about to shoot at Zhou Bai.

But the next moment, “Jian Xing” saw Zhou Bai open his mouth and spit out…spit out a cat?

Watching the white cat fly toward him, Jian Xing went blank for a second. He was just about to use his primordial spirit power to grab that cat…when he saw that cat also open its mouth and spit a ray of pink light at him.

“What kind of stupid Tao technique is this?”

“Jian Xing” couldn’t understand the logic behind spitting out a cat that spat out a pink light.

But this pink sword aura Christina spit out traveled faster than “Jian Xing” expected. And he raced at Zhou Bai so fast that he was so close to Zhou Bai. Almost instantaneously, the sword aura pierced through the black shadow, ripping a large hole in it.

“Ahh!”

Christina’s pink sword aura condensed 99 points of her primordial spirit power. She put everything into it.

That black shadow was clearly bad at handling attacks. The pink sword pierced through the body and started screeching.

On the other hand, Zhou Bai didn’t dare hesitate. He continuously used his primordial spirit power to drag himself farther away.

The black shadow had a distorted expression. Seeing Zhou Bai was out of her range and was probably going to get help, she had an unwilling expression on her face.

She would never have thought that with her primordial spirit power that was triple that of Zhou Bai’s, he could still escape.

But within Donghua Tao Academy, she didn’t dare to be too reckless. Seeing she couldn’t catch Zhou Bai, she could only retreat and prepare to escape.

But just as she was about to escape, she turned around and saw a young man crouching next to Jian Xing’s limp body. He reached out a hand to examine Jian Xing’s condition. This young man was Li Xiuzhu, the one who investigated Zhou Bai’s next-door neighbor previously.

Li Xiuzhu raised his head, looking at the black shadow before him. He said in a low voice, “Sakurako, you faked your death and overtook someone else’s body. You nearly succeeded. Why did you have to attack Zhou Bai?”

The female shadow didn’t answer. She paused, then flew into the distance, wanting to escape.

But Li Xiuzhu’s body shifted. He appeared before her at a speed that was nearly teleportation, then punched.

Boom!

The female shadow’s body tore. More than half of it shattered. After letting out a shrill cry, she turned into a cloud of black smoke, continuing to hover in place. Sometimes the smoke formed a woman’s head, glaring at Li Xiuzhu with hatred.

“More than a thousand points of primordial spirit power! And so young!” The black smoke formed by Sakurako continuously roiled. She was extremely envious. “Yet another genius.”

Li Xiuzhu glanced at the woman before he looked in the other direction. Zhou Bai, who had just run away, had come back. He looked in this direction while sitting on the ground.

Li Xiuzhu didn’t pay it any mind. He smiled at Zhou Bai and said, “Rest assured, it’s fine now.”

Then he looked at the shadow, saying with intrigue, “So it really was primordial spirit separation. You tried to separate your primordial spirit from your body to pass the test. Did you want to use your primordial spirit to directly contact Spark and increase your Degree of Taoification?”

Li Xiuzhu shook his head, “But just like all those who have attempted the same thing before you, you failed. That’s why you made a backup plan—fake your death and possess someone else’s body.”
