Buzhou - Bone, changed marrow, enhanced bone quality, and thrived in strength.
Cultivation method, (directly skipped by Zhou Bai)
As 1600 points of lazy energy were injected into the fourth star point, Zhou Bai felt a surge of excruciating pain all over his bones, nearly causing him to scream out loud.
Under normal cultivation progress, Buzhou - Bone required a complete change of bone structure, marrow transformation, and thorough modification of bones within the body, allowing the flesh to bear stronger power and have higher defensive capabilities.
For ordinary cultivators, it was normal to change the bone structure bit by bit over several weeks or even months.
After all, bones included parts like the skull, which required extremely careful cultivation.
But Zhou Bai, at that moment, injected 1600 points of lazy energy all at once, aiming to complete all these changes throughout his body in a few minutes, directly causing a hellish pain.
Seeing Zhou Bai collapse to the ground, twitching constantly with a pale face, Elsa anxiously circled around, barking non-stop.
At that moment, Zhou Bai felt his bones shattering inch by inch and reconstructing, to the point where he couldn’t even scream.
Just when he thought he couldn’t hold on any longer, the pain reaching an extreme level, his brain instinctively chose self-protection, and Zhou Bai passed out.
After a long time, accompanied by the wet feeling on his face and the itchy sensation all over, Zhou Bai slowly opened his eyes.
"Damn... almost killed me with the pain."
Zhou Bai stood up, patted Elsa’s head, then felt his body, and noticed an itching sensation in his bones, making him want to release some energy.
Throwing a few casual punches and kicks, Zhou Bai felt that his body’s strength seemed to have increased again, especially with a heavy feeling in his punches and kicks. No, it seemed his whole body felt heavier than before.
"Is it because my bones changed?"
Zhou Bai thought for a moment, then threw a few more punches, sensing the changes in his body.
"My strength has increased again, but I didn’t feel it at first because my bones became heavier."
"With enhanced bones, my defensive power must have improved as well."
"It’s a pity there’s no specific instrument; I can’t measure how much my strength has increased."
Although he couldn’t measure the exact strength, after getting familiar with his body, Zhou Bai estimated that flipping a small car shouldn’t be a problem now.
With the strength of his bones, plus the enhanced epidermis, he estimated that a punch could probably penetrate a wall without being hurt by the reaction force.
"Haha, it’s been about a week, and I’ve cultivated four out of nine star points in the outermost layer of the Taiyin Roulette. Others should be completely left behind by me, right?"
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Zhou Bai continued looking at the fifth star point on the roulette.
Xumi, standing like iron, sitting like steel, lying like a mountain. By adjusting the body’s energy sense in different postures, a defensive array is formed.

"This introduction..." Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, "Does this mean my defensive power increases from standing, to sitting, to lying down???"
"Are you kidding me???"
"Is lying down the highest defensive power?"
"Does that mean I’ll have to fight while lying down in the future??"
Zhou Bai found adding the star points a bit strange before.
After all, his divine diagram wasn’t any of the nine basic divine diagrams, and the cultivated star points were completely different from the nine major divine diagrams.
His divine diagram was the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man, and even his auxiliary cultivation system was called the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man Auxiliary Cultivation System.
And the first catastrophe of the Nine Catastrophes was laziness.
But after cultivating four star points, Zhou Bai hadn’t felt any connection between this and the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man, or laziness.
He just felt himself becoming tougher.
"So, this was waiting for me."
Zhou Bai looked at the new star point ’Xumi,’ unsure whether to laugh or cry.
"Tougher, but fighting while lying down is just..."
"Wait, lying down tougher, doesn’t that mean..."
"Damn, I wonder if the future star points will be even more..."
Zhou Bai frowned, suddenly having a bad premonition.
But thinking now was useless. The fifth star point required 2200 lazy energy points, which Zhou Bai estimated would take about a week’s effort to achieve.
"Forget it, better study."
Zhou Bai sat back at the desk, planning to study while waiting for Li Xiuzhu to arrive.
But after a while, he couldn’t focus, with various thoughts emerging in his mind.
"I’ve been working so hard for so many days, how about taking a break?"
"For the divine diagram’s 0th layer, I’ve cultivated to the fourth star point, should be way ahead of everyone else. What’s wrong with taking a break?"
"With my current progress, even if I rest for a day or two, I’ll still be the leader, right?"
"No, I can’t slack off, I must persist!!"
Zhou Bai shook his head vigorously, knowing it was bad; his syndrome had flared up.
The Intermittent Laziness Syndrome, usually activated after 1 to 5 days of intensive study, with attacks lasting from a day to a year. An incurable disease, once it flares up, the patient needs to struggle with strong willpower against the illness for life.
"Ah, after working hard for so long, a little relaxation shouldn’t hurt, right?"
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhou Bai stood up from the desk without realizing it and lay on the sofa.
A few minutes later...
"No phone! No computer! No internet!"
"Can’t do anything..."
"But I still don’t want to study."
"Huh?" Zhou Bai thought he was seeing things.
Seeing the lazy energy increase continuously, he realized he wasn’t mistaken, his lazy energy was rising!!
"What’s going on? Could it be..."
In the long time that followed, after repeated testing, Zhou Bai finally understood the mechanism.
That is, after several consecutive days of study and deciding to study every day, if the laziness disease suddenly flared up and he didn’t study, the lazy energy would increase.
Watching the lazy energy grow continuously, Zhou Bai couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh, "Wanting to relax a bit also increases my cultivation. I really am a cultivation genius. Dao School, you’ve found a gem."
Elsa tilted her head, looking at Zhou Bai, not knowing what he was doing.
So, Zhou Bai comfortably lay on the sofa, watching the lazy energy increase bit by bit, though it slowed down over time.
He lay there until nearly noon, while the lazy energy hadn’t increased for over half an hour, totaling nearly 200 points.
Dao Transformation Rate: 0%
Primordial Spirit Value: 99
Divine Diagram: Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man
Watching the time nearing noon with no sign of Li Xiuzhu, Zhou Bai frowned.
"Why hasn’t he come? Did the guy stand me up?"
Just as Zhou Bai thought so, he suddenly heard banging sounds on the wall next door.
