You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 103 - 103 81 Competition Spots owing 2 monthly tickets

103: Chapter 81: Competition Spots (owing 2 monthly tickets) 103: Chapter 81: Competition Spots (owing 2 monthly tickets) Songyang High School.

Inside the classroom.

Campus life remained as calm as ever, and students’ enthusiasm for learning was as high as usual.

The Chinese teacher explained the text on the podium with no presence at all, while the students below were practicing punching, meditating, taking medicines, and some had even started fighting…

that was the combat training.

The atmosphere in a key high school classroom is just like this.

The freshmen were still a bit restrained due to habits from middle school at the start of the semester, but after being in school for six months, everyone had already shown their true selves as Immortal Path nerds.

The Chinese teacher didn’t mind, after all, whether it was punching, meditating or fighting, taking pills, doping or injecting, or any other Immortal Path cultivation, it was far more important than attending her mere Chinese class, as long as the students didn’t come and punch her.

As far as she knew, general education teachers at Songyang High School had some status, unlike her peer who went to teach at White Dragon High School, who was always used by school administrators to educate students: “If you don’t get into a good university with your college entrance exam, you’ll end up like someone teaching Chinese in high school, unworthy.”

Thinking about it, the Chinese teacher sighed deeply in her heart, “If not for the requirements of the Sect and the city government, the key high schools would have probably reduced the duration of general education classes to nil.”

Just then, the Chinese teacher heard a student’s phone ringing.

She couldn’t help it anymore and wanted to remind: “Classmate, put your phone on vibrate during Chinese class, don’t disturb other students’ self-study.”

But when the Chinese teacher looked up, she found that the owner of the phone was Zhang Yu.

Although she was just a lowly general education teacher, she had already heard of this campus sensation.

High school first-year demon, Songyang campus traitor, unclean root, soft rice eater…

she had heard all kinds of nicknames for Zhang Yu.

She heard that he even won first place in the Martial Arts competition last night, and today no one dared to question him being two minutes late for school.

Knowing that he had the backing of a White Dragon rich woman, who could even oppose the student council, she, just a general education teacher, dared not get involved in whether or not he set his phone to vibrate.

So the Chinese teacher quickly bowed her head and pretended she had not heard anything.

Zhang Yu was originally practicing a mental method to enhance his Dao Heart, and upon receiving the phone he found that the Martial Arts competition prize had already been transferred to his account.

“Although the money is a bit less, the transfer was quite quick.”

Even with 50,000 credited, after repaying 40,000 to Zhang Pianpian, and repaying the lunch money borrowed from Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing, Zhang Yu’s account had less than 10,000 left.

Zhang Yu knew Bai Zhenzhen’s fourth-place prize was 10,000, and her account balance was probably similar to his now.

But Zhang Yu thought about the upcoming loans and rent including utilities due in two weeks, and he started to feel troubled.

“Oh, right, the weighted clothing needs to be bought again, and for the next two months of Body Refinement, the daily meal expenses are likely to increase…”

The more Zhang Yu thought, the more he felt that he had many expenses.

“Luckily, there’s an income coming from Song Halong.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the classroom, Bai Zhenzhen also received the notice about her prize money.

In addition, she received messages from Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Pianpian: You probably don’t use your Spirit Root often enough, not familiar with it yet?

Otherwise, you should be able to go further in the Martial Arts competition.

Zhang Pianpian: Just rent the Spirit Root every day from now on, just say I am sponsoring you.

Zhang Pianpian: Evolutionary Spirit Root, the more you use it, the stronger it can become.

Seeing Zhang Pianpian’s messages, Bai Zhenzhen was initially startled, but quickly realized: “She figured out I have a Spirit Root?”

“She wants to cover for me so I can use the Spirit Root?”

With thorough knowledge of her own Spirit Root condition, Bai Zhenzhen would secretly use it for cultivation every day after returning home.

However, she had always been apprehensive that people would find out about this ‘precious treasure,’ so she never dared to blatantly use the Spirit Root for cultivation in a public place like the school.

After all, if word got out, various people like bank lienholders, gambling salespeople, and scammers could pester her to no end, not to mention the thoughts of the wealthy.

So when Zhang Pianpian spoke directly about it, Bai Zhenzhen’s first reaction was instinctual fear, a deep-rooted terror accumulated since childhood, akin to someone discovering ten years of constipation.

But thinking of the care received from Zhang Pianpian during this period, the brother-sister relationship between Yu Zi and Zhang Pianpian, and the other’s candidness about pretending to be a rich person, along with her 699 score, Bai Zhenzhen gradually calmed down.

“Zhang Pianpian should be trustworthy, right.”

Moreover, she realized…

If she could use Zhang Pianpian’s name as an excuse for renting the Spirit Root every day, then she could openly use it at school for cultivation.

“In this way, I can increase my daily cultivation time with the Spirit Root by at least over ten hours.”

“Next time I won’t feel so suppressed during the competition.”

Recalling the Martial Arts competition process, although she ranked fourth, Bai Zhenzhen could still feel the pressure and frustration, a sensation of pretending and then abruptly stopping mid-way.

Because in all aspects she was inferior to her opponents from the top three high schools, and because her bank account numbers were also less than her opponents’, she was constantly hesitant during actions, eventually having to concede defeat.

Now, utilizing the Spirit Root more for cultivation, she immediately gained a lot of confidence that she could catch up with the scholarly elite from those prestigious schools.

“Yu Zi took all the spotlight this time, but next time it’ll be my turn.”

“Although having my ‘son’ taking first place is not bad, it’s ultimately more enjoyable to step over him and win the championship myself.”

During the PE class.

The smell of sweat mixed with the aroma of medicine, forming a unique scent of Songyang Immortal Path.

The clashing sound of equipment and the groans of human bodies continuously echoed, the sound of students striving fiercely on the Immortal Path.

But some turned their gaze towards Bai Zhenzhen not far away, sensing the surge of spirit machines in the air, pondering various thoughts.

Someone felt envious: “Renting the Spirit Root for Bai Zhenzhen daily, that Zhang Pianpian is way too good to her, right?”

Someone else thought of a method: “I can also love Bai Long, I also want to be Zhang Pianpian’s follower.”

Another was daydreaming: “Bai Zhenzhen became Zhang Pianpian’s follower and can rent the Spirit Root every day.

If I become Bai Zhenzhen’s follower, can she let me use the Spirit Root for an hour each day?”

On the other side, Zhang Yu wasn’t focusing on hardcore physical training like the students around him but was in a small room next to it, studying the Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand he just learned yesterday.

After all, since he switched his Yu Shu’s specialization to this grappling technique yesterday, the 24-hour cooldown hadn’t yet passed, so the only thing he could quickly improve was this real combat Martial Arts.

“Might as well practice it, after tonight’s cooldown period is over, I’ll switch to Red Marrow Primordial Qi.”

Seeing Zhang Yu’s hands create afterimages as he began practicing the Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand.

Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand Level 2 (4/20)

This martial art driven purely by physical force consists of eighteen moves; though there are many moves, each is quite short, they’re all about breaking bones, throwing people to the ground, entangling and locking in an instant.

The grappling technique emphasizes swiftness and fierceness, each move doesn’t even take a second to execute, and in no time, Zhang Yu had completed the whole set of Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand once.

Reflecting on the few real combat Martial Arts he had practiced before, Zhang Yu had a realization: “Real combat Martial Arts often demand simplicity and speed, so it’s always quick to practice a whole set.”

Zhang Yu understood, if not for this, he couldn’t have learned and even surpassed Song Halong’s Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand on the stage.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yu felt his mind shake, and an immeasurable amount of experience about Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand burst forth, having upgraded from level 2 to level 3.

“At this training speed, I should be able to get the Back Dragon Flipping Mountain Hand to level 10 today.”

While Zhang Yu was diligently practicing Martial Arts in the small room, the PE teacher Wang Hai called Qian Shen, He Dayou, Zhao Tianxing, and two other students aside.

“The school plans to select a batch of potential students from the first-year students to join the sports competition team for training.”

“Are you five willing to join?”

Before the others could react, Qian Shen directly asked, “Just the five of us?

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen aren’t going?”

Wang Hai said, “The school administration thinks those two need more time to mature.”

Qian Shen was puzzled, “Their monthly exam scores are the first and second in the grade, and they still need maturing?

And we can get selected?”

Of course, Wang Hai couldn’t say it was all due to the student council, so he had to come up with another reason.

“Because they’re too poor.”

Seeing the five people slightly stunned, Wang Hai continued, “They can’t even afford the competition team’s tutoring fees or nutritional fees, so how could they join the team?”

It wasn’t just the other four who found no fault in this logic; even Qian Shen had nothing to say at that point.

Especially recalling when Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen borrowed money from him to buy dinner, he understood their financial situation must be dire.

After enlisting the five into the sports competition team, Wang Hai then called Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen over.

“Your application to join the sports competition has been rejected again.”

Wang Hai looked at the two with some regret, “You guys should be aware of what’s going on.”

Previously, Wang Hai thought Zhang Yu was a Golden Core disciple, but after Zhang Pianpian came to Songyang High School to back up Zhang Yu and clashed with the student council, he then wasn’t so sure anymore.

But no matter whose disciple it was, Wang Hai could sense that Zhang Yu had extraordinary potential to compete in sports.

He sighed in his heart, “It’s a pity the student council refuses to give them any chance.”

Hearing Wang Hai’s words, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen clearly understood this was the student council’s doing.

Wang Hai continued, “However, you’re not entirely without chances.

If, a month from now, your physical scores can remain in the top five of the grade, then you can represent the school in the sports competition.”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a strange glance, filled with doubt.

As if he could see the reason for their confusion, Wang Hai continued, “The school selected five students from the first-year cohort to join the sports competition team.”

“A month later, if you can keep up with them and maintain your physical scores in the top five, you’ll be able to represent the school.”

Now Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen understood, clearly, the student council thought these five students would undergo training on the competition team and surpass them in physical scores.

Seeing the unyielding flame of determination in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, Wang Hai sighed inwardly.

As Songyang High School’s ace PE teacher, he knew too well the training methods of the competition team.

“What they call an opportunity to compare a month later is merely the student council’s excuse to justifiably eliminate Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen from the competition, leaving Zhang Pianpian speechless.”

“Given Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s progress rate, it’s already excellent if their Physical Strength reaches 2.1 or 2.2 a month later.”

“But through the competition team’s special training program, it’s enough to boost He Dayou and their Physical Strength to above 3.0 within a month.”

“This is irrelevant to talent; it’s purely the huge gap in Immortal Technique.

If Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen joined the special training program, the increase within a month would probably be even higher…”

Because he understood all this too well, Wang Hai knew…

Since Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen weren’t selected for the special training program, in terms of Physical Strength, they were already out of the running to catch up with the competition team members, let alone a chance to participate in the sports competition.
