(Vote for Monthly Ticket) 181: Chapter 151 Azhen, Why Has Your Stomach Gotten Bigger?

(Vote for Monthly Ticket) Just as Zhang Yu was contacting the three major high schools.

Inside the office of Songyang High School.

Lanling said with dissatisfaction, “If this matter is just let go, the student council will lose all authority.

How can we do student council work in the future?”

Zhou Chechen said nothing, pondering today’s events and the behavior of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

“How are these two so fearless?

What’s backing them?”

“Are they simply audacious, or is there someone besides Zhang Pianpian supporting them?”

Listening to Lanling, he thought perhaps they could cancel some benefits for them, like competition qualifications, to test the waters further.

Just as Zhou Chechen was contemplating this, his phone vibrated slightly.

When he opened it, he found it was a message from Le Jingchen.

Seeing the strange look on Zhou Chechen’s face, Lanling asked, “What is it?”

Zhou Chechen frowned and said, “Le Jingchen said the matter he wanted us to handle, he already took care of it himself.”

Lanling asked in confusion, “Took care of it?”

Zhou Chechen continued, “Zhang Yu personally talked to him, accepted Le Jingchen’s money, and agreed not to participate in the upcoming Dao Heart competition for sophomores.”

Lanling was shocked, “What?

He personally sought out Le Jingchen to discuss it?”

“How did he connect with Le Jingchen?”

At that moment, Zhou Chechen’s phone vibrated again, and upon seeing the new message, his expression changed drastically.

In disbelief, he said, “My bank account has been frozen?”

“A tax audit?”

Zhou Chechen was extremely confident that there were no issues with his taxes, so why the sudden audit?

Connecting the dots between dealing with Zhang Yu earlier today, the private transaction between Le Jingchen and Zhang Yu, and now the temporary freeze on his bank account…

Lanling said, “President, could it be that there’s a problem with one of the company processes?

It should be resolved with just a tax correction…”

“Tax correction?

Correct your head’s tax.” Zhou Chechen said darkly, “This is clearly someone warning us.

I knew Zhang Yu wasn’t simple.”

Lanling said, “Could it be the tax bureau…”

Zhou Chechen analyzed, “With such hidden tactics, how could it be the tax bureau?”

“And right after we made a move, they contacted Le Jingchen, and on the other hand, froze my bank account…

We must’ve been under surveillance for a long time.”

Lanling’s gaze sharpened, “Isn’t this a threat to us?

I’m going to find Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen right now…”

“You idiot, did you train your brain into muscles too?

Why are you in such a rush?” Zhou Chechen snapped irritably, “Zhang Yu is just a dog.

What good will it do even if you pin him down?

Furthermore, the enemy is in the dark while we’re in the light.

If they dare to warn us like this, it means they don’t fear us at all.”

“The priority now is to first figure out who is behind Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Once we get clarity, we can decide whether to endure or retaliate.”

“I’ll discuss this with my father and arrange for family resources to investigate.”

“Until then, don’t get anxious; act like nothing happened.”

…

Inside Songyang High School.

Zhang Yu glanced at his phone, letting out a small sigh of relief.

It was a message from the captain of the Patrol Team in Songyang City, a connection facilitated by Zhang Pianpian: The talisman has been issued, and the account has been successfully frozen.

Zhang Yu: Thank you.

The reply: It was a minor task.

Visit me when you have time.

In the following days, whether it was the student council, the sophomore students, or Zhou Chechen and Lanling, all remained silent, as if the incident at the Training Field never occurred.

Zhang Yu also breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that he didn’t need to worry about them for the time being.

“The next steps are very straightforward.”

“Continue to cultivate diligently, converting all this floating wealth into true power.”

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued to make rapid progress along the Immortal Path, consuming their account balance at an unprecedented pace.

…

The Protected Area.

Inside the incubation room.

Zhang Yu was absorbing spirit machine.

Streams of Great Sun Mana circulated within him.

The next moment, like magma, the mana suddenly broke through subtle meridians within his body, bringing Zhang Yu to another breakthrough in his mana cultivation.

Mana broke through 70 units.

Feeling the torrent of mana flowing after the breakthrough, Zhang Yu displayed a satisfied smile.

In front of him, Xiong Wenwu was also practicing his cultivation technique.

Zhang Yu said, “Thanks for your help the other day.”

Xiong Wenwu said blandly, “It was just a trivial matter.

After all, you guys spent so much money here, helping a bit is nothing.”

“Besides, I was speaking the truth.

If you and Bai Zhenzhen don’t compete, my brothers have a better chance at the Top Ten.”

Zhang Yu curiously asked, “Why haven’t I seen An An today?

Where is she?”

Xiong Wenwu shook his head and sighed, “An An is consoling others.”

“Because she’s had a salary reduction.”

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, “Huh?

She had a salary reduction, so why is she consoling others?”

Xiong Wenwu replied slowly, “Because she’s the best employee of the Protected Area, she was asked to take the lead in salary reductions, which means others will have to follow suit.”

“The manager asked her to prepare other employees mentally, understand the company’s difficulties, and share its burdens.”

Zhang Yu could only console, “Well…

that’s how companies are.”

Xiong Wenwu said angrily, “She’s obviously the most dedicated and company-spirited employee in the whole Protected Area, so why does she earn the least?

Eat the worst?

When the company’s performance drops, she’s still asked to reduce her salary first?”

“How is this different from the top student in class having their benefits cut?”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu fell silent for a moment, finding it hard to comfort him.

Xiong Wenwu continued, “All this shows…

there’s something wrong with the company.

It’s not rewarding the truly outstanding employees.”

Xiong Wenwu could feel it, the company definitely had issues, with not only various bases and factories being acquired but also some chaos at the management level.

“But soon…” Xiong Wenwu thought to himself, “I’ll soon have enough money to pay off An An’s breeding debt.”

“Then she can leave here.”

…

White Dragon High School.

Song Halong was sparring with Bai Zhenzhen.

Yet, facing Bai Zhenzhen’s ghostly movements, it became increasingly difficult for him to hit her.

Song Halong had no choice but to remain steady and unmoved, like a rock, resisting Bai Zhenzhen’s stormy attacks, trying hard to find her weaknesses.

But Bai Zhenzhen seemed like a flash of lightning, always slipping into his blind spots, making him constantly adjust his stance in an attempt to capture her.

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen’s figure flickered and retreated more than ten meters away, stopping.

Song Halong frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bai Zhenzhen glanced at the White Dragon people outside the door and said, “You guys have been watching us practice for quite a while now, haven’t you?”

Chu Qiuhe and others quickly knelt, indicating they would continue watching on their knees.

Bai Zhenzhen said, “That’s not what I meant.”

“I mean, watching our training…

you’ll have to pay.”

Song Halong was about to suggest letting it go.

But not far away, Zhang Yu chimed in, “Yeah, people of our caliber aren’t free to watch.

We should charge.”

Yu Xinghan nodded and said, “Then let’s charge an entrance fee.”

So, shortly after, the Practice Room was crowded with people.

Among them, a large group of White Dragon people stood on the outskirts, craning their necks to watch the four fighters.

As for those closer in, who could see clearer from seated positions, they had to pay extra.

On departing White Dragon High School that day, Yu Xinghan said to Zhang Yu, “There’s news about the Spirit Realm, I’ll arrange something for you in a few days.”

…

By the end of July.

Less than half a month remained until the first round of the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate exam.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued to make bold progress on the Immortal Path, with money swiftly flowing out, and a massive consumption of resources, their rate of improvement was unprecedented.

Among them, Zhang Yu’s mana reached 81.5, and his physical strength reached 7.52, both foundations surpassing the average level of White Dragon people entering their third year of high school.

Only his Dao Heart still progressed slowly, currently reaching Level 5 (85%).

And Zhang Yu’s bank balance had dropped to over 200,000.

That evening in the apartment.

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen diligently continued their cultivation.

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly said, “Yu Zi, do you feel like my stomach has gotten bigger?”

Zhang Yu looked up and said, “It does seem a bit, doesn’t it?”

Bai Zhenzhen patted her lower abdomen, “I feel like it’s protruding a bit, didn’t you notice?”

Zhang Yu looked closely, suddenly surprised, as he saw blue patterns appearing on Bai Zhenzhen’s lower abdomen.

Bai Zhenzhen was also surprised, “Why is my Spirit Root shrinking?”

In Bai Zhenzhen’s perception, the True Spirit Root originally standing firm in her Dantian Qi Sea was still circulating spirit machine and nourishing her flesh.

The next moment, it began to contract, gradually transforming into a green seed within her perception.

When Bai Zhenzhen shared this change with Zhang Yu, Fu Ji said, “It evolved.”

Fu Ji explained, “I mentioned before that Bai Zhenzhen’s Spirit Root is an evolving type.”

“However…

over the past years, before Bai Zhenzhen set foot on the Immortal Path, this Spirit Root was in its juvenile stage, changing only slightly based on Bai Zhenzhen’s choices.”

“But since entering the Immortal Path truly after freshman year, her Spirit Root has been frequently stimulated, changing more than all the previous years combined.”

“Especially after your mutual practice, your Level 10 cultivation techniques provided even more intense stimuli for the Spirit Root, finally leading to its evolution today.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu also shared his guess about the Spirit Root’s evolution with Bai Zhenzhen.

Then Zhang Yu said, “Try sensing what the evolved True Spirit Root can do, and see if it has acquired any new abilities.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen focused all her attention on the True Spirit Root.

As she concentrated, an ethereal sensation gradually spread throughout her entire body.
