Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 331 : 330 First and Inquiry
Hearing Zhou Bai's stern question, Immortal Ming Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. Her gaze shifted but she did not answer Zhou Bai. It was unclear what she was pondering, but her look towards Zhou Bai was increasingly intriguing.
Meanwhile, the expressions of others in the guest seats were filled with joy.
"Did he actually win? He actually managed to snatch the Immortal Locking Chain from Cang Ming?"
"Is that thing really the Guihai Black Doom? Did Zhou Bai inherit the Heart Demon's unique skills?"
"But can this thing still be practiced after being twisted by the Heavenly Dao? Old Zhao! Zhao Shouyi! Did your East Dao School inherit the Heart Demon's legacy and then even refine it?"
"This Zhou Bai is really incredible. When did the East Dao School recruit such an immortal?"
Wu Fa chuckled and said, "Old Zhao, you guys really took in a good student. This Zhou Bai... haha, truly formidable. Is that black thing the Guihai Black Doom?"
Zhao Shouyi let out a sigh of relief. When he saw the black mud appear, he felt his blood pressure rise slightly, but after realizing it was not what he thought, he relaxed.
However, after recognizing it as the Guihai Black Doom, his blood pressure rose slightly again. Now, hearing Wu Fa's question, he thought for a moment and decided to take care of this matter for Zhou Bai, nodding,
"It is indeed the Guihai Black Doom. We only researched it recently, wanting Zhou Bai to just give it a try, but this kid is so talented that he managed to master it immediately."
Zhao Shouyi looked towards Immortal Ming Yue and smiled, "Senior, there's no problem with the competition, right?"
Immortal Ming Yue glanced at Zhao Shouyi, nodded slightly without replying, her eyes swirling with thoughts, uncertain about what she was considering.
At the same time, the spectator seats had already erupted into excitement; Ying Hui joyfully jumped up, "Great, well won!"
Xu Luobai from Jijian Pavilion shook his head in admiration, "He actually won. Incredible, truly incredible. Zhao Shouyi, your East Dao School is ruthless. I'm definitely supporting you and Zhou Bai from now on."
"Is that even necessary to say?" Ying Hui said, "Right now, there's nothing better to invest in than Zhou Bai, absolutely profitable, a hundredfold return. I'm telling you, you wouldn't believe how efficient and resource-saving his training is… never mind, you wouldn't understand."
Hui Jing from Leiyin Temple smiled subtly. If the competition really was manipulated by Heavenly Dao represented by Immortal Ming Yue, it might have been a massive blow to the morale of humans, and devastatingly destructive to the confidence of the younger generation.
Hui Jing thought silently: 'But now it's good. The match Zhou Bai won is not only a victory in the competition, but it has also won a trace of destiny for mankind.'
Ying Hui glanced at You Tu from the Evil Sect and patted his shoulder, "Your sect should also take it easy, and don't blame Cang Ming. In another month or two, you might not even be able to beat Zhou Bai."
You Tu from the Evil Sect looked blankly at Zhou Bai on the stage, 'He managed to lose? He even learned the Guihai Black Doom... Could this Zhou Bai be the chosen one? The son of destiny? The lifeline left by Heavenly Dao for humankind?'
Below the stage, Qian Wangsun, Zuo Dao, Zheng Wentian, and others looked towards Zhou Bai both shocked and pleased.
Qian Wangsun said, "This kid has so many tricks up his sleeve... Changing every moment, now he even turned black."
Zuo Dao thought, 'Zhou Bai! I'm already so far behind him? How exactly does he practice?' He decided to inquire well about this once back, and he couldn't help but recall the words once said by Zuo Lu.
Zheng Wentian remarked, "He won... Zhou Bai actually won against the arrangement of Heavenly Dao." At that moment, the fixed impressions in Zheng Wentian's mind shattered thunderously, and the thought that Heavenly Dao was unfathomable and insurmountable by humans wavered.
Those who had regained consciousness, like Kong Chan, and Jian Hui who had been watching the battle, couldn't help but reveal a complex expression.

Kong Chan: "I used to think that I was the unrivaled first in talent this generation, carrying the responsibility to lead humanity and guide my peers. But who would have known…" He gave a bitter smile and slowly shook his head.
Jian Hui looked at Zhou Bai with eyes full of expectation and excitement, then turned to ask her senior sister Zhu Lingwei, "I want to transfer to the Dao School of Donghua, how can I do that?"
At the arena, Zhou Bai then looked separately at Jijian Pavilion's Zhu Lingwei and Leiyin Temple's Xuan Yue. The final two contestants chose to concede directly.
At this point, the Dao School of Donghua, led by Zhou Bai, secured the first place in the competition among the four schools. The entire venue erupted into mad cheers.
Next, the members of the Dao School of Donghua went to the guests' stage to receive their awards.
Leaders from each school expressed their admiration for them.
When Zhou Bai walked up to Immortal Ming Yue, this immortal, who had been silent since the end of the competition, finally spoke.
And when she spoke, her words were groundbreaking, catching the attention of everyone present.
"Ming Yue, come to the heavenly court," Immortal Ming Yue looked at Zhou Bai with a face full of admiration. "The group at the Dao School of Donghua cannot teach you. If you come to the heavenly court, we will treat you as a future Ascended Immortal, and I will recommend the Supreme Heavenly Venerate to guide you in your cultivation. You will receive the best cultivation resources in the world."
"Come with me to the heavenly court."
Everyone was shocked and tense looking at Immortal Ming Yue and then at Zhou Bai.
Behind Immortal Ming Yue, Meng Ruocun watched the scene with a face full of surprise.
Trained as a future Ascended Immortal? The Supreme Heavenly Venerate recommended as a guide? Using the world's best cultivation resources?
Hearing the conditions proposed by Immortal Ming Yue, Meng Ruocun looked at Zhou Bai both enviously and jealously, wishing she could take his place.
Zhao Shouyi, standing nearby, feared that Zhou Bai might impulsively agree and immediately said, "Isn't it inappropriate for a senior to poach people like this? Plus, Zhou Bai has just reached the third realm and has only been at our Dao School of Donghua for a year. It's the perfect time for him to lay his foundations here.
And since Meng Ruocun has already gone to the heavenly court, it would not be good for our school's educational work if Zhou Bai were to go as well…"
Immortal Ming Yue casually stopped Zhao Shouyi from speaking and said indifferently, "How can the Dao School of Donghua compare with the heavenly court? A talent like Zhou Bai is wasted there. Besides, the heavenly court and the Dao School are essentially one family. Coming to the heavenly court to cultivate doesn't mean he will never return.
As for Meng Ruocun…"
Immortal Ming Yue pondered for a moment: "Losing two top students at once is indeed not good. Let's have Meng Ruocun return, and Zhou Bai can come study at the heavenly court for a while."
"How about it, Ruocun? You've already been cultivating in the heavenly court for half a year, why not let your junior brother try it as well?"
Hearing this from Immortal Ming Yue, Meng Ruocun, standing behind, instantly felt as if she had fallen into a freezing dungeon, and an unavoidable thought rose in her mind.
'Have I been abandoned? Am I… a discarded piece?'
But under the gaze of Immortal Ming Yue, she could only swallow hard, extremely unwilling yet helpless, and said, "I… I… I have no problems."
