Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 710 - 710: 708 Talent

Xuan Nu couldn't help but constantly sweep her gaze back and forth over Elsa on Zhou Bai's head, finding the scene before her somewhat perverse, even for a mutant like herself.

Zhou Bai, however, was focused on examining Christina, checking if the Guihai Black Curse had been properly applied. "The Guihai Black Curse can serve as a medium for Tang Ruhai's powers. I'm not sure how much of my ability Christina has inherited."

Thinking this, Zhou Bai's thoughts moved, and his Primordial Spirit power had already unleashed a wave of energy, sweeping towards Christina.

Bang! The force strong enough to burst a layer of steel plates struck Christina, barely causing her cat fur to flutter and not a single hair to fall off.

After all, Christina already possessed the cultivation of the fifth realm, so it was normal for such an attack not to affect her. Zhou Bai merely increased his power slightly, careful not to harm Christina.

But as the output of Primordial Spirit power continuously escalated, from mere impacts to flying sword stabs and various forms of Swordsmanship being executed in turn, the overwhelming power surged back and forth within a hundred meters, causing the surrounding ground to continuously fracture and collapse as though ravaged by a giant beast.

No matter what Zhou Bai did, the Christina in front of him remained almost completely unscathed, only leaving cat fur on the ground, which had fallen out due to fright during the attack.

'I've never seen a cat that can take hits like this.' Xuan Nu thought to herself in awe as she watched, 'And yet that cat's face seems to be getting stinkier by the minute.'

Zhou Bai gasped for breath. Apart from the Star Annihilation technique, which was too draining to use, he was unable to injure Tina with any of his martial arts or Dao techniques.

Zhou Bai's eyes shone as he admired Christina, thinking to himself, "She must have at least ninety percent, perhaps even all, of Tang Ruhai's power."

He looked at Christina and said, "Tina, the potential within you is even more astonishing than I imagined. If I had a few more talents like you under my command, all immortals and gods would be trampled under my feet."

Christina lay on the ground sullenly, her face unhappy, thinking indignantly, 'Am I really so much less intelligent than Zhou Bai? That's impossible! I learn so quickly, I have such strong talents for cultivation, I am so talented, I even guided him in his cultivation before! How could I possibly be so much dumber than this guy?'

"No way!" Christina exclaimed fervently, "I won't accept this! I will put in effort! I will study! I refuse to be so much dumber than you!"

Seeing Christina determined to improve herself, Zhou Bai quickly said, "Christina! Don't do it! You must stay just as you are, don't think about changing."

Christina: "Why?! I don't want to be a fool. Being a fool, even with your abilities, is still being a fool, destined to be worthless all my life."

Zhou Bai quickly transmitted his thoughts to comfort her: "Christina, just look at yourself, look at your speed in cultivation, your photographic memory, your belly full of strategies. You have guided me in the knowledge of cultivation before, do you think you are a fool?"

Christina was made somewhat insecure by her abilities: "I guess not."

Zhou Bai: "There you have it. But as a cultivation prodigy, why is it that the Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities assessment rates you so much less intelligent than me? It must be because your situation has already exceeded the creators of Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities' expectations."

Christina: "Ah?"

"The Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities' definition of intelligence is all-encompassing," Zhou Bai said. "For a genius like you, having amazing talent in the path of cultivation, it's normal to be slightly weaker in other areas. Because your gift for cultivation is so astounding, you've always focused solely on Heavenly Dao, to the point your mind barely has room for anything but Heavenly Dao. To add other, mediocre knowledge to your brain would be almost a desecration of your genius mind."

Christina furrowed her brow, slightly skeptical and somewhat secretly pleased, "Really?"

Zhou Bai: "Your situation is entirely because the level of genius has exceeded the expectations and definitions of the Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities' founders. Because of your overpowering talent in cultivation, your intelligence in other areas seems weaker, leading to an erroneous judgment about your intellect by the Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities, resulting in the current assessment."

"If you, with your talent for cultivation, are considered a fool, then are there any normal people left in the world? All the students at Dao School would be idiots. And that Nine Calamities of Heaven even called me ugly. Am I ugly? Rather, it's the founder's standards that are flawed."

Christina thoughtfully said, "The system thinks I'm dumber than you, not because I'm actually dumb, but because I'm too talented? I'm even so talented that I exceed the Nine Calamities of Heaven's definition of intelligence?"

"That's right," Zhou Bai encouraged. "So you must stay true to yourself, stick to your talents, and never think about changing. Don't bother reading too much; it's a waste of your talent."

Christina had an epiphany, "I understand now."

Out of nowhere, Zhou Bai produced a flying sword and handed it over to Christina.

This fourth realm Chill Glacier Sword, which had almost crumbled during a previous clash with a fairy god, was now in Christina's hands as Zhou Bai said, "Christina, hold tight to this flying sword and try Sword Control with me."

By the time Christina realized what was happening, she was already flying around in the sky with the flying sword.

"Good, Sword Cat Control! Like this, the flying sword is always blessed with Tang Ruhai's effect, never fearing to be damaged again."

"Dark Maiden, take the cat and try it out. Holding it should activate its effects, you can also use it as a shield."

Christina: "???"

After continuously blocking Zhou Bai's strikes with the cat, Dark Maiden quickly realized the tremendous utility of the cat in her hands.

Watching Christina with amusement, Zhou Bai thought the cat, now endowed with Tang Ruhai's abilities, was incredibly useful. It was like adding an indestructible quality anywhere it's applied, sparking countless ideas in Zhou Bai's mind about the best way to use it.

"It's a pity, talents like Christina are too few."

After testing on Christina, Zhou Bai then grabbed Elsa and planned to feed her the Seeds of Madness.

The youthful Elsa struggled and said, "Wait! Wait a moment, let me transform before I eat it!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Elsa transformed back into her original golden retriever form and awkwardly explained, "It's easier to eat this way."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Bai had already stuffed the Seeds of Madness into the dog's mouth.

Elsa struggled for a while and her body suddenly twitched a few times, then she slowly steadied herself.

Zhou Bai quickly asked, "Elsa, do you feel any different?"
