Chapter 161 - 161 133 Level 10 Injured Bull Undercurrents Surging Thanks to 'Prince Logut' for the Reward
161: Chapter 133: Level 10 Injured Bull, Undercurrents Surging (Thanks to ‘Prince Logut’ for the Reward) 161: Chapter 133: Level 10 Injured Bull, Undercurrents Surging (Thanks to ‘Prince Logut’ for the Reward) Listening to the conversation between Bai Zhenzhen and Miao Yun, Zhang Yu’s gaze flickered.
Even though he had been in Kunxu for nearly half a year, much of the knowledge and information had settled deep in his mind, not truly surfacing in his consciousness.
At this moment, upon hearing their conversation, Zhang Yu gradually remembered that in Kunxu, even one’s face could be sold.
Looking good can be quantified by money.
He quickly took out his phone, logged into the face modeling website, and wanted to see how much his face was worth.
After the facial recognition was completed, he got an answer that his face model had already been sold.
Checking the transaction record, it had only sold for 2000 yuan, and that was a one-time buyout for 20 years of copyright.
There was also a user review: Handsome but with no distinctive features.
Zhang Yu secretly thought in his heart, “I knew it, it was already sold by my original self.”
“Sigh, sold for cheap.
If I had waited until I became a bit more famous before selling it, the face model copyright would definitely be worth more.”
He casually searched for valuable face models and found that even those of celebrities, stars, and internet influencers are generally not that valuable because they are purely appearance-based face models.
The most valuable ones are functional face models, such as those of the Eight True Gods, which have additional effects on talismans.
Or face models with enchantment effects, which are one of the production tools for some specific industries.
And various oddly shaped non-human face models, which also involve surgery and body structures, are equally expensive.
At this moment, Miao Yun had already approached Zhang Yu.
As she pointed a finger at him, Zhang Yu felt a cold mana enter his body, which quickly stimulated the circulating Great Sun Mana throughout his body.
Accompanied by the backlash of the Great Sun Mana, Miao Yun quickly withdrew her hand, secretly thinking, “Is this a mana cycle constructed through passive breathing?”
“I first mastered passive breathing in the third year of high school, right?”
“Sigh, another rich kid, huh?
Really envious.”
She blew on her fingertip and said, “Little handsome, you burned me a bit, put away your mana.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately stopped the passive breathing of the Great Sun Qi Sea.
Several hours later, after the advertisement shoot was completed, the first 200,000 of the post-tax 600,000 endorsement fee was credited to his account.
Zhang Yu looked at his savings, which had jumped to over 480,000, and his heart leaped with joy.
…
A few days later.
The time had come to late April.
Unconsciously, with the promotion of the new body refining technology, sporadic appearances of purple people, black people, and beastmen began to emerge on the campus of Songyang High School.
And at this moment, in the first-year demonstration class.
The homeroom teacher, Su Haifeng, his eyes flashing with lightning, was promoting Purple Cloud’s ‘Super Metabolism’ surgery to the students.
“To improve student performance, Purple Cloud Pharmaceutical has partnered with the school to offer a discounted package for super metabolism surgery, to ensure students can use medication comfortably, securely, and worry-free in the future.”
“If your family is struggling to afford the surgery, you can apply for a loan through me…”
Below, Zhao Tianxing looked at the surgery application form handed out, his heart gradually wavering, “Is artificial demon muscle better?
Or super metabolism?”
“Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both use artificial demon muscle, while super metabolism requires not only the surgery but also future expenses for medication, placing an increasing burden on the family.”
The surrounding students were also discussing; evidently, many shared his indecisiveness.
Zhao Tianxing asked Qian Shen, “Which would you choose?”
Qian Shen glanced at Zhao Tianxing, thinking that though this guy’s scores are a bit low, his moral character is quite good.
So Qian Shen frankly said, “I originally wanted to first get the artificial demon muscle, then the super metabolism surgery, and finally the Black Dragon bloodline, since these are methods that can steadily boost scores…”
At this point, Zhao Tianxing couldn’t help but curse in his heart, ‘Damn rich people.’
Qian Shen continued, “Unfortunately, after consulting, I found out that all these full-body modification surgeries conflict with each other, so I could only choose super metabolism in the end.”
At this moment, Su Haifeng continued from the podium, “…Other new body refining technologies are merely shortcuts to gain temporary physical strength increments.
Only the super metabolism surgery enhances your cultivation speed for life and broadens your future cultivation limits.”
“If you don’t seize the opportunity to do this surgery now, you will only fall further and further behind and might not even stay in the demonstration class…”
Zhao Tianxing looked at more and more classmates signing the surgery applications, as if seeing groups of purple people racing forward, leaving him far behind, with one foot unknowingly stepping out of the demonstration class door.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Tianxing ultimately gave up on the idea of saving some money for his family, reducing their burden, and signed his name on the super metabolism surgery application.
Su Haifeng stood on the podium, watching the students below start to sign, seemingly envisioning a future Songyang High School, and even the whole of Songyang, filled with countless high school students turning into groups of purple people, black people, beastmen…
He thought to himself, “What are Oasis, Immortal Rhyme, Purple Cloud, and Red Tower trying to do?
Could they really be planning something, as the master says?”
Just then, his gaze swept over two empty seats, and he asked, “Where are Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen?”
He Dayou quickly said, “They both skipped class!”
Su Haifeng’s eyes flickered with a hint of electricity.
If any other student dared to do this, he would let them know how the paper on ‘The Prospects of Electric Shock in High School Teaching’ was written.
But Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen…
If they pulled out their competition certificates, brought in their Magic Power Class teacher, Martial Arts Class teacher, and Physical Education teacher, even Su Haifeng would find it hard to deal with.
“Forget it, there’s still a month and a half before Zhang Pianpian leaves, by then someone will take care of those two.”
Below, He Dayou looked disappointedly at Su Haifeng.
Even this grade director, the Demon King of the first year, turned a blind eye to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen skipping class, causing even the school director’s son to feel the injustice.
Can good grades really let you act with such impunity?
…
Meanwhile.
On the rooftop.
In Zhang Yu’s mind, the giant remnant cow let out a long roar to the sky.
His Can Niu Soul Heart Technique finally broke through to level 10.
And with the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique reaching level 10, a surge of determination filled Zhang Yu’s heart: no matter the dangers or adversities, no matter if his body is covered in scars, he must keep moving forward!
Forward!
This perfectly aligned with Zhang Yu’s current mindset of risking everything to pass the Foundation Establishment Exam and break into the top ten, allowing him to smoothly run this Can Niu Soul Heart Technique and steadily solidify his Dao Heart, feeling his willpower stronger than before.
Meanwhile, at the moment the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique reached level 10, insights from honing his mental method merged into his mind’s memory, giving him new control over his body.
Thanks to the level 10 Can Niu Soul Heart Technique, he felt he could now empty his mind at any moment, temporarily reducing mental exertion, then boost the metabolism of his entire body to speed up wound healing and improve body refining efficiency.
“The Breathing Skill, the mental method have finally all reached level 10…”
Feeling the constant operation of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique in his mind, with the natural mana cycle of the Great Sun Qi Sea running in his body, he felt one step closer to the Foundation Establishment Certificate.
Looking at his data on Yu Shu, both his Dao Heart and mana had been steadily improving over time.
Dao Heart Level 4 (89%)
Mana 48.1
Physical Strength 4.96 Level
“These days, I’ve been focusing on practicing Breathing Skill and mental method, yet I’ve had no chance to train the body.”
“Now that both the Great Sun Qi Sea and Can Niu Soul Heart Technique are level 10, I can devote most of my time to body refining.”
Since Zhang Yu planned to take the sports route in the Foundation Establishment Exam, the focus of his training would naturally shift to enhancing physical strength.
But he knew, in Kunxu, just relying on his effort alone wouldn’t work.
Fortunately, he now had a comprehensive preparation and plan for body refining.
…
After school, in the rented room.
Bai Zhenzhen leaned against the door, listening to the thumping sounds from within, and thought to herself, “It’s going to take two hours.
I might as well find a quiet place to train.”
Inside the room, Zhang Yu and Le Mulan had serious expressions, diligently engaging in dangerous close combat practice.
Her cold legs constantly strangled Zhang Yu, with skin contact transmitting terrifying force.
At this moment, Le Mulan felt the body heat emanating from Zhang Yu’s legs.
Though it was still scorching, she had learned to control her expression from showing any disdain.
She tried to focus on the physical strength confrontation, learning techniques from Zhang Yu during the contest.
Zhang Yu took the training very seriously as well.
While sparring with Le Mulan, he earnestly rubbed against the medication on her body.
During the process, Zhang Yu clearly found that the more intense the battle, the more Le Mulan’s internal medicine absorbed, producing more medication.
For example, the thighs showing slight fleshy texture under his great strength, the cool, slippery touch making more medication ooze the more he rubbed.
Though sometimes distracted by the peculiar sensations from her leg, he quickly refocused on the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique, concentrating on self-improvement and pushing away all distractions.
After two hours ended.
Bai Zhenzhen knocked on the door and asked, “Done yet?”
“Azhen, wait a bit,” Zhang Yu said.
“Le Mulan is still showering and changing clothes.”
Moments later, Le Mulan finished her shower, changed her clothes, and glanced at Zhang Yu, still lying on the floor soaked in medication.
She coolly said, “It seems you’ve gotten used to it?”
At this point, Zhang Yu was already covered in a fragrant layer of medication, feeling the medicine absorbed through his skin, invigorating his muscles, mana, and brain.
Hearing Le Mulan’s question, Zhang Yu replied, “Drinking such things…
I’d absolutely never do that.”
“But deliberately washing it off…
I wouldn’t do that either.”
To save money, improve body refining efficiency, and pass the Foundation Establishment Exam, Zhang Yu decided to use Le Mulan’s medication to speed up his cultivation.
Le Mulan smiled slightly at his words, suddenly filled with curiosity.
Especially as she thought of garnering better grades, advancing further on the Immortal Path, and being worthy of all the investments made on her, requiring her to choose proactively to adapt and change herself.
Could this poor person really maintain his self-respect and not change, even leaving the high-value medication unused?
If it were those lower-class students in Purple Cloud High School, they’d already be licking the floor, right?
She thought to herself, “Could he really maintain not drinking?”
“What if it was of even higher value?”
