You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 220 - 220 187 Zhang Yu's Time

220: Chapter 187 Zhang Yu’s Time 220: Chapter 187 Zhang Yu’s Time From Wang Hai’s life experience over the years, the things he couldn’t understand about Kunxu often had the involvement of powerful forces stirring trouble behind the scenes.

And once ordinary people get entangled in the chessboard of those companies and noble clans, they typically don’t end up well.

It’s precisely because of this principle that Wang Hai has remained just a sports teacher for decades.

But also because of this principle, he still has a job as a gold medal sports teacher decades later.

As for Lin Hui, who was recruited as a new teacher at Songyang High School just last year, Wang Hai can understand the mindset of a novice who wants to seize this opportunity to make a fortune; he had this mindset when he was young too.

But regardless of whether it’s Lin Hui or Zhang Yu, Wang Hai doesn’t have high hopes for their future.

“Alas, ordinary cultivators get caught in the vortex between these powerful forces, and perhaps they can earn a lot at first, but ultimately they end up bankrupt, devoured with nothing left.”

“Which one among those guys above would let people take advantage without wanting profits?”

Zhang Yu, upon receiving the Dragon Elephant Serum, still couldn’t believe Songyang High School would be so kind as to provide free medicines to students.

“This isn’t the culture of our Songyang High School.”

“There might be something wrong with this drug?”

Until he saw the students around him taking the medicine and energetically starting Body Refinement, Zhang Yu tried a little himself.

“Let’s give it a try; after all, my Spring and Autumn Endless Zen is already Level 10, so even if there’s something wrong with this drug, it should be expelled…”

Once a bit of the Dragon Elephant Serum entered his body, Zhang Yu felt like a flame ignited inside him, spreading throughout his entire body.

His first impression was…

this medicine is intense, like a bomb exploding inside him, making him wish to dance for three days and nights.

The second impression was that this drug is toxic.

Having advanced his Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to Level 10, Zhang Yu’s sensitivity to drug poison and pill poison had reached an unprecedented peak.

He could sense the drug poison and residue in this medicine were ten times more intense than ordinary drugs.

“Still, it remains under the control of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.”

Not wanting to expose his Spring and Autumn Endless Zen amidst the crowd, Zhang Yu began cultivating the Red Marrow Primordial Qi through the drug’s power.

Lin Hui quietly watched the scene unfold, with a barely noticeable smile at the corner of her mouth, thinking: “This is no ordinary Dragon Elephant Serum; it’s Berserk Dragon Serum.”

“Although its potency is several times stronger than the Dragon Elephant Serum, capable of enhancing a person’s energy, stamina, and blood and qi, significantly improving Body Refinement efficiency, there’s one major issue…

addiction.”

“Once you have the first time, there will be countless times.”

“You can’t stop.”

At this moment, Lin Hui seemed to foresee Zhang Yu becoming increasingly addicted to the efficiency boost from using Berserk Dragon Serum repeatedly, using more and more, and eventually begging for the serum upon realizing his addiction.

…

As the bell rang, the Physical Education class ended, and it was time for school dismissal.

Fu Ji lamented: “First, you can’t skip the general knowledge class.”

“Then, you’re restricted to practicing basic cultivation technique in Martial Arts classes.”

“Lastly, they’re giving you such toxic and intense drugs in Physical Education.”

“Each strategy is more excessive than the last.”

Zhang Yu, although grateful to be able to freely use the school’s basic cultivation technique, could sense that there was no goodwill in these actions.

Later, in his conversation with Fu Ji, she agreed: “It’s obvious this is a deliberate waste of your time; are you sure you want to practice these basic cultivation techniques?”

Zhang Yu calmly replied: “I have my plans; consolidating my foundation is a good thing for me.”

Fu Ji didn’t understand Zhang Yu’s thoughts and could only guess it was related to his potential enhancement.

After the Physical Education class, Zhang Yu asked Bai Zhenzhen and others about their experience with the drug; it was entirely different, indicating they weren’t using the same medication.

“Even the Body Refinement drug was swapped?” Zhang Yu thought to himself: “This is entirely directed at me.”

Upon hearing Zhang Yu’s situation, Bai Zhenzhen furrowed her brows and said: “I’ve heard that these recent school reforms were proposed by the student council; could it be Zhou Chechen is up to his tricks again to retaliate against us?”

Zhang Yu sighed: “Zhou Chechen, this guy kept quiet for a while, but now he’s stirring up trouble again.”

Just before leaving the school, Su Haifeng, along with another middle-aged teacher, stood before Zhang Yu.

Su Haifeng said indifferently: “Zhang Yu, the school values your development highly, and upon discovering your poor Taoist Skill scores, has specifically hired a teacher to tutor you in Taoist Skill.”

“From now on, after school, you will study with Mr.

Zhou for 4 hours before leaving.”

“Remember, the 4 hours after school are also considered part of the normal teaching time under Songyang City’s rules, and since tutoring is arranged, you must not skip.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was speechless.

What kind of bullshit rule is this?

The 4 hours after school are also normal teaching time?

Is this even reasonable?

And upon hearing the content of the tutoring, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: “Taoist Skill?

Tutoring?”

Isn’t high school Taoist Skill just talismans?

Isn’t this something that just progresses if you have money, and shows no results if you don’t?

You still need extra classes for this?

But when Zhang Yu was dragged into the classroom by Mr.

Zhou and saw the 300 test papers handed out, he felt a deep malice.

Mr.

Zhou said calmly, “Do the test papers, a hundred times through, and the meaning will reveal itself.”

“From now on, you’ll come and do test papers every day.

The more test papers you do, the better your test-taking ability for talismans will naturally improve.”

Zhang Yu slightly squinted his eyes, a strong dissatisfaction rising in his heart: “This is asking me to waste another 4 hours every day.”

Mr.

Zhou watched Zhang Yu’s slightly changing expression with a hint of mockery in his eyes: “What?

You want to defy the school’s normal teaching plan and risk disciplinary action?”

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, looked at the talisman test papers, and silently began working on them.

…

While Zhang Yu was working on the talisman test papers, Bai Zhenzhen burst into the student council office with a bang.

Seeing He Dayou behind the desk, Bai Zhenzhen said coldly: “Is Zhang Yu’s after-school talisman tutoring arranged by the student council?”

He Dayou quickly raised his hands and explained, “It has nothing to do with me; that was the president’s idea.”

Bai Zhenzhen asked, “Where is Zhou Chechen?”

Moments later, Bai Zhenzhen’s entire body crackled with lightning, shooting out like a bolt of lightning to the practice ground for senior students.

From a distance, watching Zhou Chechen and Lanling practicing, Bai Zhenzhen coldly said: “Zhou Chechen, cancel Zhang Yu’s extra classes immediately, or from today, I’ll challenge you once a day, beat you up every time I see you, and let’s see how you face staying at this school.”

Zhou Chechen didn’t even look at Bai Zhenzhen, lazily waved his hand, and said, “Get her out of here, don’t disturb our training.”

In the next moment, Bai Zhenzhen only saw a blur swiftly appear before her, so fast that she had only enough time to cross her arms in defense.

Boom!

Bai Zhenzhen shot out like a meteor, landing outside the practice ground in an instant.

Meanwhile, a young man leisurely walked towards her, chuckling, “My name is Zhou Hao, and I’m now in charge of Zhou Chechen’s security.”

“Would you prefer I beat you all the way out, or will you leave on your own?”

With a soft whoosh, Zhou Hao was already suddenly standing right in front of Bai Zhenzhen, looking at her and saying, “By the way, I graduated from the 72 Lower Schools, majored in Security.”

“With your high school level, you don’t stand a chance against me.”

Bai Zhenzhen stared intently at Zhou Hao in front of her, feeling the peak Qi Refinement aura, knowing he was right.

She thought to herself, “72 Lower Schools?”

Apart from the top 10 prestigious universities, there are also 36 Upper Schools, 72 Lower Schools, vocational colleges, and other unremarkable schools.

The 72 Lower Schools represent 72 third-tier universities; though not impressive among many universities, it means he’s been at the peak of Qi Refinement for over ten years and has mastered many Level 10 cultivation techniques.

“More than ten years of difference in cultivation time…” Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, knowing that even if she displayed her full strength, she couldn’t be his match.

Watching Bai Zhenzhen decisively leave, Zhou Hao nodded appreciatively, “That’s right, a wise person adapts to the circumstances.”

“And Zhou Chechen asked me to ask you, if you’re given one million, would you be willing to betray Zhang Yu?”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Bai Zhenzhen suddenly turned back, saying matter-of-factly, “You send the money, and I’ll go stab him twice right now.”

Zhou Hao said calmly, “Sign the contract first, then the money will be transferred.”

Bai Zhenzhen snorted coldly and left without looking back.

As she arrived at a small flowerbed, intending to practice while waiting for Zhang Yu to finish class, she sensed through a detection ritual that a camera was aimed at her.

“A school camera?

No, that’s not where the school’s cameras are positioned…”

Feeling the bright light in her field of view, Bai Zhenzhen frowned more tightly: “Someone’s secretly watching me?

Is it also Zhou Chechen’s people?”

Thinking that if the one surveilling her was also a university student at Zhou Hao’s level, Bai Zhenzhen knew it would be very hard to shake them off.

“If they keep watching us…

we won’t even be able to go to the Dark Study Gang?”

“This guy is steadily encroaching on our space for cultivation and earning money.”

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen once again felt a pressure she hadn’t felt in a long time.

Especially with Zhou Chechen employing one strategy after another, a pressure more intense, heavier, and harder to resist than any he had brought before, began to press in from all directions.

As if a bottomless abyss were trying to swallow her and Zhang Yu whole.
