Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 533: Material 532

Nasha twisted her body, inching forward step by step until she was before Zhou Bai, and then she lay down, her face slowly sweeping across the ground.

"No biological tissues detected..."

"His physical body is too powerful, not even hair or dandruff would easily fall off..."

"We need to think of another method... at the very least we must obtain a strand of hair... preferably bodily fluids..."

"Let's go back, don't let her notice."

After scanning the entire ground, Nasha reversed her movements step by step like a video played backward, returning to her original position before she started turning her head, replicating every motion flawlessly.

After a slight pause, Nasha threw a punch again, concentrating all her spirit on her training as if what had just happened had never occurred.

On the other side, after having breakfast with Zheng Wentian, Zhou Bai went alone to the resource management center, found the teacher responsible for exchanging materials, and listed the various materials needed for crafting the 'Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor', besides Greedless - Void Energy.

The teacher with sunglasses glanced at Zhou Bai's list, "Most of the other materials, we have them in the Mysterious Empyrean Secret Cache. But this one liter of Mutated Essence Blood, 108 True Dragon Scales, a complete Kunpeng Soul, and nine ninth-stage inner cores..."

The teacher with sunglasses shook his head more and more, "We can leave the Mutated Essence Blood aside; mutant bodies are entirely confiscated by the heavens, and not even the Four Great Taoist Schools would have it. Moreover, it has to be essence blood, which must be from cultivators above the seventh stage, extracted during the onset of mutation but before complete mutation... Difficult... difficult... difficult."

"108 True Dragon Scales, only dragons above the ninth stage can be considered real dragons, and the reverse scale is the first scale through which the dragon's heart sends out blood to the body, responsible for protecting the dragons' hearts. It is the hardest scale on a dragon's body, and each dragon only has one such scale. To get 108 True Dragon Scales, you would need 108 ninth-stage true dragons, which even the heavens can't muster now..."

"And this Kunpeng Soul, Kunpengs of that demon species have long been extinct, I don't know where to find one."

"Nine ninth-stage inner cores, that means nine ninth-stage demon beasts, but the Demon Clan has long gone extinct. If you want to find them, you would have to go to the Beast Taming Institute of the heavens."

After finishing, the teacher with sunglasses shook his head, "What exactly are you trying to create? These four materials, each rarer than the last, are all extinct, and it is impossible for us to have them here, and even the heavens might not be able to gather them all."

"Is that so?" Although Zhou Bai had been prepared, knowing that Dao School might not be able to gather all the materials for the 'Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor', he still felt a sense of loss.

'The Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor is custom-made for my Primordial Spirit Armor, and these four materials, although rare, are very significant. The Mutated Essence Blood is mainly for connecting with the contamination level inside my body, which can allow the armor to enhance some of my Celestial Nine Calamities abilities inversely.'

'The 108 True Dragon Scales are to protect the 108 Array nodes on the armor, which can exponentially increase the armor's defense and bear stronger forces.'

'The purpose of the Kunpeng Soul is to artificially create an Artifact Spirit, boosting the armor's support capabilities, automatic combat abilities, and even unleashing the armor's power beyond its limits, as well as conserving Primordial Spirit energy and the armor's own power expenditure.'

'The nine ninth-stage inner cores are for creating a Void Energy Mechanism Furnace; without these, the armor's power will be much lower, and all its abilities will be weakened.'

Fortunately, Zhou Bai had anticipated this and had carefully studied the blueprints. According to the blueprints, even without these four precious materials, the 'Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor' could still be made with some common materials as substitutes. Although it would be far inferior in terms of performance to the complete version, it would still be usable and on par with most ninth-stage armors, with the potential for future upgrades.

'Let's start with substitute materials, and later find an opportunity to collect the complete set of materials.'

Hence, Zhou Bai said, "Then, I'll take whatever kind of Beastification Blood from ordinary people and Dragon Scale Armor you have available. Also, give me ten top-quality jade slips for inscribing runes, and if there aren't any ninth-stage inner cores, use 200 top-quality Array Stones capable of gathering spiritual mechanisms as substitutes, I'll make do with those."

After running through his list, Zhou Bai inquired, "How long will it take to prepare these items?"

"Except for the dragon scales which need to be requested from the heavens, all others can be gathered within Dao City. Altogether, it would take two weeks to have everything delivered."

Zhou Bai, "Okay, then I'll come to get it in two weeks. How many points will I need..."

"No need for that," the other party said with a smile, "Principal Zhao Shouyi applied for a direct supply channel for you right after the Four School Grand Tournament ended. You have a quota of 10,000 points per month. It can accumulate each month, which should be enough to exchange for these materials."

The most important and expensive material for the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor is the third-level Greed Steel, which is as strong as the Blood Talisman Immortal Steel. It's precious on the one hand, and as the main material, it's consumed in large quantities on the other.

However, Zhou Bai was able to refine first-level Greed Steel that matched the strength of standard alloys by harvesting greed and then continuously fuse and upgrade it to third-level Greed Steel.

Apart from the third-level Greed Steel, the next materials are Mutated Essence Blood, 108 True Dragon Scales, Kunpeng Soul, and nine inner cores from the ninth realm—most of the rest are conventional materials.

Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Bai was slightly startled, "Principal Zhao Shouyi's arrangement, huh?" He sighed, "The principal... he really thinks of everything... Thanks for your trouble then."

Watching Zhou Bai turn to leave, the man in sunglasses suddenly said, "Give it your all in the discussions at Daluo Heaven this time."

Zhou Bai nodded, "Mhm."

Having temporarily resolved the material issue, Zhou Bai started today's trash processing work again.

By the next evening, he had finally gathered the 2.7 million laziness points needed for the seventh star.

Greedless - Void Energy: Able to extract void energy to temporarily enhance the power of magical treasures.

Method of cultivation: A quick glance.

Laziness (0/2.7 million)

Zhou Bai instantly spent 2.7 million laziness points and felt his consciousness connecting with the void seemed to strengthen a bit.

Then he looked at the two swords in front of him and said, "Xia Li, let's start."

Standing opposite Zhou Bai, Xia Li controlled her own sword and said, "Bring it on. I'm not afraid of you!"

The two of them each controlled a sword, clashing and contending with one another.

Zhou Bai's eyes sharpened, and he directly activated the divine chart of the Nine Calamities of Heaven and Man. He felt under the control of the Primordial Spirit, streams of dark void energy surged mightily into the sword and turned the entire sword pitch-black.

At the same time, the sword's strength greatly increased, and it also shared a part of Zhou Bai's damage reduction abilities from being Immovable as a Mountain and his Contaminated Body, becoming incredibly tough inside out, as if it had shifted to a different material entirely.

In the crackling explosions, it was clear that the sword controlled by Zhou Bai in terms of speed, strength, or power was far superior to the one controlled by Xia Li.

After three consecutive impacts, there was a crisp snap, and the sword controlled by Xia Li abruptly broke, falling to the ground.

Xia Li exclaimed in surprise, "What's with your sword? It's almost on par with a second-realm flying sword."

Zhou Bai, however, smiled satisfied, pleased with the current effect of his greed.

"Now, not only can I defeat opponents beyond my own level, but my magical treasures can also surpass their ranks. Once my new flying sword and Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor are crafted, my strength will definitely be sufficient to defeat a ninth-realm powerhouse head-on."

Zhou Bai's greed progress (7/9).

Three weeks remain until the discussions at Daluo Heaven.
