Zhang Yu looked puzzled at Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing, curious as to why they looked as if they had failed an exam.

“What’s up with you two?”

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s curious inquiry, neither Qian Shen nor Zhao Tianxing could respond, as they had both signed a confidentiality agreement, forbidding them from divulging any information about the special training program.

Zhao Tianxing gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, “Nothing, just…

the pressure from the competition team is a bit much.”

At the same time, a hint of pity flashed in his gaze as he looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, “He Dayou and the others started the transplant surgery yesterday, their physical strength will surely soar next.”

“Though Yu Zi and Azhen have strong talents, they can’t surpass the school’s Immortal Technique.”

“So the Immortal Path…

money really is the most important, huh?”

…

During that day’s PE class.

He Dayou, Physical Strength 1.56 level

Li Xianglu, Physical Strength 1.55 level

Wang Wenjie, Physical Strength 1.53 level

Overnight, after the transplant surgery, He Dayou and the others had each improved significantly.

Watching them effortlessly play with various equipment and the physical strength data, the surrounding students couldn’t help but look on with envy.

“The sports competition is indeed Songyang’s ace project, He Dayou’s progress is so fast.”

“They became this strong after just one day?

Teacher Wang Hai really knows his stuff.”

But He Dayou wasn’t interested in the chatter of these classmates, he turned his head searching for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, but found they hadn’t come to PE class, and even in the small room nearby there was no sign of Zhang Yu.

“Humph, no matter, there will be plenty of chances later.” He Dayou seemed to already envision the scene in the next month where his physical strength would soar daily, eventually leaving Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen far behind.

“In the coming month, I’ll be improving faster and faster, until my physical strength nears junior year level.”

“My scores will eventually surpass yours.”

…

Where did Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen go?

Both had already applied to Wang Hai for absence from PE class.

Zhang Yu’s thought was: With my Red Marrow Primordial Qi progressing rapidly, I’d better hide and practice on my own, to avoid being observed.

Bai Zhenzhen thought: My Spirit Root functions are many, since I already have the reputation of renting Spirit Roots, I don’t need to worry about attracting attention, so I might as well practice alone, to avoid being noticed in a crowd.

So, on the school’s rooftop.

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him and smiled, “Azhen, what a coincidence, you skipped PE too?”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu in front of her and also smiled, “Yu Zi, what a coincidence, you came to the rooftop to practice too?”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Azhen must have opened up, she doesn’t want to be seen, so she came to practice on the rooftop alone.”

Bai Zhenzhen thought, “Yu Zi probably didn’t close, he’s trying to practice secretly and hide his strength, planning to show off next month, so he came to the rooftop?”

Zhang Yu laughed, “Then let’s practice together on the rooftop.”

Bai Zhenzhen laughed as well, “Yeah, let’s practice together.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Azhen is still trustworthy, this time I’ll let her see my talent and make her completely submit.”

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “After all these years of hiding, I finally have someone to show my amazing potential to.

Hahaha, I can already see Yu Zi’s envious, jealous, and hateful expression.”

So the two glanced at each other, each stepping aside and starting their own practice.

Thus, on the rooftop, Zhang Yu began to diligently practice Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

He stood still, his body resonating repeatedly, producing a booming sound, as if waves were crashing against rocks.

Bai Zhenzhen turned her head, watching Zhang Yu’s face and hands gradually turn red from the surging energy, and was startled in her heart.

Then, full of jealousy, she thought, “Is this really that Red Marrow Primordial Qi?

Has Yu Zi mastered it?

Is he using this technique for body refinement?”

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly felt her Spirit Root didn’t smell so sweet anymore.

She felt her current mood was like being woken up by a classmate’s breathing noise at midnight.

Seeing classmates secretly consuming leftover potion packaging in the morning.

Noticing extra punctures on classmates’ arms during PE class.

Bai Zhenzhen quickly released the restraints on her Spirit Root, preparing to start body refinement.

“To show off my child, how can I not outperform this show-off?”

“Keep surpassing him!

My physical strength next month must remain above Yu Zi’s!”

Having said this, she had already released the restraints on her internal Spirit Root and started refining her body.

After practicing over a dozen times, Zhang Yu felt a sense of weakness in his body and decided to sit down and rest for a while, taking out a prepared energy drink to sip.

“It’s worth it for the free energy drink I got from White Dragon High School, it tastes great.”

At that moment, feeling a strange presence of spirit energy in the air, he turned to look at Bai Zhenzhen.

He saw Bai Zhenzhen also practicing a body refining technique.

Zhang Yu couldn’t identify the technique, but he could vaguely sense strands of spirit energy flowing into Bai Zhenzhen, seeming to nourish her entire body.

“Is this the effect of Spirit Root?

Similar to a muscle-enhancing Spirit Root that boosts the physique?”

Filled with jealousy, Zhang Yu thought, “Having a Spirit Root must be great, I must ask Azhen to try it out next time.”

Then Zhang Yu noticed something new.

With his experience in multiple martial arts at level 10, he could notice subtle differences in others’ movements.

Watching Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu felt that her body refining technique was adjusted slightly with each iteration, making it seem more comfortable and smoother, it was as if Bai Zhenzhen naturally…

kept adapting to the body refining technique.

“Does Azhen really adjust and improve with every practice?”

It sounded ordinary, but upon deeper thought, Zhang Yu realized its brilliance.

Shocked, Zhang Yu thought, “Isn’t this just like my Yu Shu, where the technique can quickly improve too?”

“She wasn’t this strong when practicing before, was she?”

“She must be secretly opening up!”

Realizing she had been secretly working hard in ways he couldn’t see, Zhang Yu, after resting a while, got up and continued to push himself to practice Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

In the following time, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen each focused on their body refinement, marking a period of mutual companionship in their endeavor.

When the class bell rang, Zhang Yu had already advanced his Red Marrow Primordial Qi to level 7 (15/70), feeling his whole body being stretched, with his internal organs moving due to his repeated training, producing odd internal sounds.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen was steaming all over, her flushed face dripping with sweat, feeling her muscles growing and strengthening under the influence of the Spirit Root.

As the class bell rang, they exchanged a smile.

Zhang Yu smiled, “You’re impressive, Azhen.”

Bai Zhenzhen also smiled, “You’re not bad yourself, Yu Zi.”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “I’m skipping the shower today to practice!

I must raise Red Marrow Primordial Qi to level 10.”

Bai Zhenzhen determinedly thought, “I’m not going to use the restroom today, damn this body!

I’ll work till dawn!”

In the following days, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen took every opportunity to practice, stealing away to deserted corners of the campus, leaving puddles of sweat as they pushed their bodies to the limit.

During PE class, He Dayou felt thrilled seeing his physical strength increase daily, though he was slightly disappointed not seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Yet, he endured.

He kept reminding himself, “Isn’t this the outcome I foresaw?”

“Talented poor people might be impressive initially, but eventually they lose to the wealthy.”

“After the transplant, as the new muscles integrate with my body, my physical strength increases quickly each day.”

“The later Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen come to witness my strength, the more despairing the gap will feel for them.”

With a hint of anticipation, He Dayou diligently continued practicing during PE class.

Meanwhile, during the same PE class, not far away, Zhao Tianxing was watching He Dayou with a mix of envy and hesitation in his eyes.

“Qian Shen has quit, saying he won’t join the competition team, and Lanling picked another classmate in.”

“But…

should I quit too?”

“I don’t like this way of gaining points, but He Dayou and the others’ physical strength is increasing so fast, at this rate…

I can’t possibly catch up with them.”

Yet, when he thought of how his parents were planning to sell their house for him to earn higher scores on the competition team, Zhao Tianxing hesitated again.

…

In the small forest before the end of school that day.

Zhang Yu sat cross-legged, steam rising from his body in the cold wind, as he was practicing his already level-10 Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

At this moment, his muscles, internal organs, and bone marrow were all being engaged and strengthened through repeated training.

Beyond that was the effect of reaching level-10 Red Marrow Primordial Qi.

Zhang Yu’s body structure became more rational and perfected, with every muscle fitting precisely like intricately constructed parts assembled perfectly together.

This body structure adjustment post-level-10 also resulted in an immediate surge in physical strength, along with the day’s hard training, raising his physical strength to 1.67 levels.

Additionally, his digestive metabolism had increased.

Zhang Yu felt a constant hunger, as if every part of his body was demanding food.

“Daily food expenses have risen to over 600—body refining is truly costly.”

Yet, despite this, Zhang Yu sensed his body still lacked satisfaction.

“It’s probably time to start taking elixirs.”

Red Marrow Primordial Qi could be complemented with elixirs for body refining, but the elixir, Primordial Pill, costs 30,000 per piece.

“This Purple Cloud Pharmaceutical Company is a rip-off!”

With soaring meal costs and now elixir demands, Zhang Yu felt increasingly short on money.

Although he had earned another 5,000 yesterday by tutoring Song Halong, looking at the less than 16,000 in his account made him feel insufficient.

Luckily, another earning opportunity arrived today.

As the school bell rang, Bai Zhenzhen finished her training nearby and said to Zhang Yu, “Let’s go Yu Zi, time to shoot the advertisement.”
