You dare to cultivate without money?!
Chapter 222 - 222 189 High School Sacred Body Seeking Monthly Tickets

222: Chapter 189: High School Sacred Body (Seeking Monthly Tickets) 222: Chapter 189: High School Sacred Body (Seeking Monthly Tickets) During martial arts class, Zhang Yu was focused on cultivating one foundational cultivation technique after another.

By early September, he had already sequentially advanced his previously learned foundational meditation technique and foundational breathing technique to Level 10.

He also cultivated the newly learned high school foundational digestion technique and high school foundational medication technique to Level 10.

However, these foundational techniques are indeed just basic techniques.

Even if they are cultivated to Level 10, the improvement in technique effectiveness is only just passable in Zhang Yu’s view.

If it weren’t for Yu Shu’s Chain Technique Map, he probably wouldn’t have chosen to invest so much effort in so many foundational techniques.

Especially among these foundational techniques, there are a few with numerous complex maneuvers that are quite time-consuming for him.

“Alas, for me, whether a technique is cultivated quickly depends on how long it takes to practice once.

If a foundational technique takes too long to practice, it actually progresses slower than an expert-level technique.”

At the moment, Zhang Yu was practicing the high school foundational footwork.

Once he cultivates this high school foundational footwork to Level 10, he will have completed 6 techniques needed for the high school Sacred Body, enabling the first level of enhancement to be activated.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu felt increasingly excited: “I wonder what kind of effect it will have?”

Nearby, Lei Jun looked at Zhang Yu’s fervent gaze and positive attitude, sighed inwardly, and could only do his best to instruct, hoping the other would soon master the remaining foundational techniques at Songyang High School without wasting any more time on them.

At another corner of the martial arts class, Bai Zhenzhen said indifferently, “The ten of you come at me together.”

In an instant, her figure, wrapped in layers of lightning, had already shuttled between ten sophomore students.

Although her strength was far more formidable than any one of them, facing the encirclement of ten individuals and feeling the moves attacking from all directions, she still felt unprecedented pressure.

After all, in the Qi Refining Realm, every additional opponent geometrically increases the difficulty of the battle.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen had to face the assault of ten individuals from ten different angles every instant.

Yet Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and persevered.

“After all, I am going to battle the strongest high school student at Kunxu to seize the martial arts crown…”

“Since the quality in class isn’t enough, I have to make up for it with quantity.

I need to continuously break my limits to enhance my combat capabilities.”

…

After-school Taoist skill tutorials.

While Zhang Yu appeared to be working on the test papers in front of him, the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique was wildly operating in his mind.

Since undergoing cultivation in the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu had comprehended the true essence of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique: the more pressure he faced, the more he could display the wonders of this mental method.

At this moment, the layers of pressure brought by Zhou Chechen, although adding many obstacles to Zhang Yu’s Immortal Path, also increasingly stimulated the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique to show its efficacy when facing pressure and adversity, making Zhang Yu more vigorous in battle.

With the continuous blessing of the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique, Zhang Yu felt that when facing daily pressures, both his physical body and mana operated more vigorously, and the potential within him was continuously stimulated, repeatedly surpassing limits to improve his cultivation efficiency.

Especially during the four hours of tutorial time after school every day.

Facing the endless talisman test papers that held little meaning upon completion, this was arguably Zhang Yu’s most pressured moment every day, but it was also when the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique was most stimulated.

Under such circumstances, not only did his mental method operate more fiercely, striving to elevate his Dao Heart, but even the passive operation of the Great Sun Qi Sea became more turbulent.

The process of using the True Spirit Root in his Dantian to deduce the Dragon Elephant Mountain Crashing Palm also became faster.

This made Zhang Yu suddenly feel a bit sentimental: “Cultivating the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique requires facing layers of pressure and increasingly strong challenges to advance rapidly.”

“The stronger the pressure, the more at ease I feel.”

“I wonder under what circumstances the Great Sage Huang Niu created this cultivation technique.”

“However, my current state coincidentally aligns with the principles of this technique.”

As for the True Spirit Root in his abdomen, it was at Fu Ji’s suggestion that Bai Zhenzhen lent it to Zhang Yu at this time every day, precisely to make use of this exam-taking time.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu randomly scribbled a few answers on the test paper and glanced forward to see Mr.

Zhou engrossed in his phone.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “For me…

doing test papers for four straight hours is a waste of life.

But the teacher accompanying me in doing test papers is likewise having four boring and wasted hours.”

“After all, the other person is just a worker, so how could they possibly monitor me with full attention during these four hours?”

Zhang Yu mused internally: “Moreover, doing these useless test papers serves no purpose, and it seems these folks don’t even bother grading them.”

He felt the current test papers were like winter and summer vacation homework on Earth, and the tutoring teacher in front of him couldn’t be bothered to check them.

While Zhang Yu secretly cultivated during Taoist skill tutorials, in another part of the city…

Bai Zhenzhen streaked with traces of lightning, weaving through the traffic like a flash of lightning.

Moments later, her figure lightly leapt, shooting electrically towards the main entrance of a building.

With the lights in the stairway flashing layer by layer, she already arrived on the 20th floor.

“Hello, your delivery has arrived…”

“I wish you a pleasant meal.”

Having completed yet another delivery order, Bai Zhenzhen, dressed in a delivery uniform, smiled slightly.

As the lightning step activated, she left behind trails of afterimages and shot out electrically.

Due to constant surveillance, Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t make money by tutoring at the Dark Study Gang.

But she and Zhang Yu had long used up their loan limits; the monthly loan repayments, medicine costs, food expenses…

and other expenditures placed significant pressure on them.

Fortunately, besides the income from sparring with Yu Xinghan, Song Halong, and Le Mulan, Zhang Yu’s weekly income from selling seeds at Red Tower High School helped to cover household expenses.

But even so…

“Alas, Yu Zi, the seed quality is too low.

The income from selling seeds every week is decreasing, so I can only rely on my delivery work to support him for a while.”

“But fortunately, during the delivery process, I can still hone my skills with thunder mana, so it’s not a complete waste of time.”

As her phone buzzed with a notification, Bai Zhenzhen glanced at it and felt her heart skip a beat: “Oh no, it’s almost overdue.”

In the next instant, she accelerated once more, blending into the traffic, racing against time just like the other delivery riders.

While Bai Zhenzhen was delivering food, not far from her, a graceful figure cloaked in darkness silently observed Bai Zhenzhen’s back.

Wearing glasses, as her gaze shifted, the camera on her glasses remained focused on Bai Zhenzhen.

No matter how Bai Zhenzhen accelerated or rushed her deliveries, she maintained a distance neither too far nor too close, ensuring Bai Zhenzhen could never escape her tracking.

The woman staring at Bai Zhenzhen is named Si Zhouyu, affiliated with the Zhou Family’s security forces, graduated from Jinzhou College’s Commercial Intelligence program.

“Sigh…”

Thinking about how her recent work has been tracking such a deliveryman and high school student, Si Zhouyu felt a sense of helplessness.

“Writing bad reviews to mislead for competing companies, stealing rival companies’ contracts, destroying competitors’ Feng Shui God of Wealth Tree…

those big tasks should be mine.”

“How can I get a promotion and raise, following such a poor soul every day?”

Si Zhouyu once again moved closer to Bai Zhenzhen, her body completely blending into the black shadows, she shamelessly yet silently took shots of Bai Zhenzhen from a dozen meters away.

“Can’t you hurry up and do something big?”

…

Time passed day by day like this, and the early September monthly exam quickly ended.

Before the scores were announced, Zhou Chechen had already seen Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s results ahead of time.

“Zhang Yu is second?

Although the score is still high, it’s only high compared to the students after second place.”

“In a longitudinal comparison, not only has he not continued to improve, his mana and physical strength levels have actually decreased.”

“Contrarily, Bai Zhenzhen is still progressing.”

Looking at the report card and the specific data they displayed in the exam, Zhou Chechen thought to himself, “In October’s monthly exam, Zhang Yu will probably decline even more, and the gap with Bai Zhenzhen will be larger.”

“Faced with this constant decline, within a month or two at most, Zhang Yu should be unable to hold on, right?”

Just as Zhou Chechen was looking at the report card.

In the apartment near Purple Cloud High School.

Zhang Yu said, “This time I used an anti-detection ritual to conceal my progress data, Zhou Chechen should think the recent methods are very effective.”

Bai Zhenzhen on the other side did not do this, after all, to those around her, Zhang Yu’s daily obsession with basic cultivation techniques, plus remedial talisman lessons, made the decline in grades quite normal; instead Bai Zhenzhen’s outstanding performance in Martial Arts and PE class, and improvement in grades were expected.

Fu Ji said, “Not bad, that guy Zhou Chechen should still want to take advantage of the gap between you and Zhang Yu to further pressure him.”

“Just let them think they’ve succeeded.”

“You should use this time to continue developing, and keep getting stronger.”

“Don’t rush to escalate the confrontation’s intensity, time is on your side.”

…

Mid-September.

Inside the apartment.

Le Mulan sniffed, looked at Zhang Yu with some doubt, and suddenly asked, “Why…

do you smell less bad?”

Le Mulan with super metabolism was very sensitive to various smells.

If previously Zhang Yu’s sweat was sour and stinky, now Le Mulan smelled sweat that seemed pure like her own.

Zhang Yu certainly wouldn’t say it was because of his cultivation achievements.

Not only did he strengthen his physique and expel toxins through daily grueling study of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.

Also because high school Sacred Body, after completing six cultivation techniques, gave him an enhancement.

Primary-High School Sacred Body (6/6): Drug load, absorption, and metabolism capacity increased to Qi Refining peak

Since gaining this layer of enhancement, plus Zhang Yu’s Level 10 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, he felt all toxins in his body could be expelled, collected, controlled, and the zen character on his chest got darker.

Zhang Yu thought, “My urine now could probably be drunk as water.”

After Le Mulan left, she sent a message to her brother Le Jingchen: Does Zhang Yu have any records of super metabolism surgery?

Le Jingchen: No

Le Mulan: If someone hasn’t undergone super metabolism surgery yet their sweat is very clean, is that possible?

Le Jingchen: Collect a sample of his sweat, I’ll pass it to a lab for testing to find out.

Le Mulan was slightly stunned, hesitated: “Collect Zhang Yu’s sweat?”

…

Late September.

Red Tower High School.

Yu Xinghan, with somewhat sunken cheeks, looked at the lively Zhang Yu devouring a feast, and sighed, “Your physical condition is quite good.”

The feast in front was provided by Red Tower Company for top seed providers, that is, Yu Xinghan’s.

Although Zhang Yu came to sponge off the food, he ate even more than Yu Xinghan.

Yu Xinghan couldn’t help but ask, “You haven’t had fewer missions than I have, how do you maintain such good stamina?”

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, “Eat more, replenish nutrition.”

He glanced at his Yu Shu, noting that on it, high school Sacred Body’s enhancement had upgraded another tier from the primary level.

Upper-Level High School Sacred Body (8/8): Food digestion, absorption, and metabolism capacity increased to Qi Refining peak

Zhang Yu thought secretly, “This high school Sacred Body is just super drug efficiency, super food consumption manager isn’t it?”

“It’s indeed typical of Kunxu high school students.”

“Just wonder what the last effect will be?”

As time flows by, it quickly moves to mid-October.

The second round of Foundation Establishment exams is about to begin.
