Chapter 119: #119 - Unparalleled Genius

From the spectator seats.

Lan Ling took a deep breath and slowly said, "He actually did it? With his current weight of 12,531 kilograms, the gap between him and Yu Xinghan might really allow Zhang Yu to take first place overall."

As a second-year high school student specializing in body refinement and having participated in sports competitions, Lan Ling deeply understood the difficulty of Zhang Yu's performance at this moment.

"To achieve this level with his physical strength, whether it's the exploitation of physical power or the skill in power operation, it far exceeds the level of a first-year high school student."

Zhou Chechen frowned, seemingly completely unexpected that things would develop to this point.

He murmured, "That is to say, the speed competition with Yu Xinghan in the previous match wasn't achieved through some kind of strong drug?"

"And this kind of control over the body… no wonder he was able to control his body surface features like Yu Xinghan after accepting Bai Long's new body refinement technology."

Zhou Chechen looked at Zhang Yu, who was walking down the platform, and regretted even more that he hadn't signed such a genius back then. Now, not only was he snatched away by Zhang Pianpian, but it also affected their two families' transaction with Ziyun.

As a body refinement specialist, Lan Ling greatly admired the talent Zhang Yu displayed at this moment.

But the more he admired him, the more he wanted to suppress him.

Lan Ling coldly said, "This Zhang Yu must be suppressed. Otherwise, if he keeps promoting Bai Long's imitation demon muscle technology, it will only hinder our subsequent cooperation with Ziyun. This is no longer just a private matter between us and him."

Zhou Chechen shook his head and said, "Look at you, always so impatient."

"Zhang Yu is currently in the limelight, but behind him are Bai Long High School and Xianyun Group. In order to promote the new body refinement technology, they will definitely protect him. Why should we rush up to be the villain?"

"If anyone should be anxious now, it should be Ziyun and Hongta."

Zhou Chechen sighed, "And in about two months, Zhang Pianpian will be leaving."

"At that time, the promotional effect of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will be almost over."

"When that time comes, isn't it easy to deal with two poor guys? There are plenty of ways to make them obediently earn money for us."

……

Inside the live broadcast room.

Gang Shan looked at Zhang Yu, who was walking off the stage, and said with emotion, "This sports competition for the first-year students in Songyang City was truly worth watching."

"He was able to successfully challenge 12,531 kilograms, and not by relying on pure brute force, but by a peak combination of strength and skill."

"Amazing, high school students are becoming more and more competitive and terrifying."

Le Jingchen glanced at his phone, where someone had sent him a list of the potions Zhang Yu had ordered for takeout.

After a quick glance, Le Jingchen knew that they were all the most common and widely available potions.

Confirming this, Le Jingchen's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "With a physical level of , it's impossible to support the 12,531 kilogram Sky Pillar with brute force alone."

"The potions he's using are also ordinary."

"That is to say, Zhang Yu was able to achieve this… by extremely exploiting and controlling his own body, pushing the power of his muscles to the limit."

Thinking of this, Le Jingchen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Fortunately… fortunately, he's just a peerless genius."

Geniuses aren't scary, because even the most peerless and powerful genius only represents one strong person.

Perhaps many students, teachers, and viewers value certain geniuses.

But from Le Jingchen's perspective, geniuses are just small investment projects. What's truly frightening is unknown new technology.

What Le Jingchen was truly worried about just now… was whether Xianyun Group's technology could mass-produce people like Zhang Yu who could challenge the 12,531 kilogram Sky Pillar.

Thankfully, it seems that this student named Zhang Yu simply has peerless talent.

But the thought that… Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, the representatives of Bai Long's technology, would be added to the top ten, and the top two spots in the overall score would be taken by Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, made Le Jingchen feel uncomfortable.

Because this meant that Ziyun Pharmaceutical's promotional effect was discounted, and their family's investment income was affected.

So, after hearing Gang Shan's exclamation, Le Jingchen also said, "Indeed, Zhang Yu's talent is extremely terrifying."

Who doesn't know how to hype things up?

Le Jingchen decided to hype up Zhang Yu, focusing on his peerless talent.

Anyway, good grades are all because of talent. In this way… if Xianyun Group wants to use this person to promote new technology in the future, the effect will be discounted.

Le Jingchen said, "I don't know if Gang Shan noticed, but when he supported the Sky Pillar, he was covered in blood, and he was injured all over his body."

"But now he can act normally, which means that although he was injured all over, there wasn't a single serious injury."

"This is very terrifying, indicating that he relied on his skills to cleverly distribute the power to various parts of his body, and no part exceeded the limit it could withstand."

"It can be said that he truly exerted his power to the limit."

"His skill in controlling power has probably reached the peak of Qi Refining, and even you and I can't compare."

Gang Shan looked at Le Jingchen with some surprise. Brother… are you hyping him up this much? Does Ziyun also have an investment in this Zhang Yu?

But Gang Shan was, after all, an experienced streamer who had even promoted high-interest loans mortgaging his own mother. What kind of situation hadn't he seen? After a little thought, he guessed Le Jingchen's plan.

So he cooperated and said, "Indeed, Zhang Yu's physical technique seems to have reached perfection. One point of strength in his hands can exert the effect of 10 points. Simple physical strength, body structure, or the use of medicine or technology… can no longer accurately describe his true power."

……

"Good hype!"

Inside the Songyang High School rest area.

Zhang Yu listened to the conversation between Le Jingchen and Gang Shan in the live broadcast room, nodded in agreement, and asked, "Which streamer is this? His eyes are like torches, and his analysis is thorough. Tell me his name, I'll follow him later."

He Dayou, who was watching the streamer, said helplessly, "Gang Shan."

Wang Hai said dissatisfiedly from the side, "He Dayou, Zhang Yu is curious about this streamer, can't you bring your phone over and share it with your classmates?"

He Dayou was speechless again. Why hadn't he noticed that students with good grades were so annoying before? At least when his grades were higher than others, he would never be so arrogant.

Fortunately, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, "No need, Teacher Wang. Don't disturb the lives of ordinary students for my little curiosity."

Zhang Yu said with emotion, "I'm just an ordinary student who took fourth place in the French competition, first place in the martial arts competition, and may take first place in the sports competition. I just want to get along with everyone and don't want to be like Bai Long and Ziyun, where the hierarchy is so clear."

Wang Hai said to the students beside him, "Look, look, you see, Zhang Yu has always been so humble, that's why he can achieve today's achievements. If he were at Bai Long High School, you would all have to kneel and listen to him today."

Then Wang Hai randomly pointed to a student and said, "Zhao Tianxing, what are you still doing? Hurry up and get a few bottles of energy drinks for Zhang Yu. Didn't you see that he needs to replenish his strength after participating in the competition?"

Zhao Tianxing understood that although Wang Hai seemed to be pointing randomly, the fact that he could accurately point to the student with the worst grades present meant that it was definitely not random.

He could only sigh that his weak, poor, and clown theory had been verified again, and then ran to get energy drinks for Zhang Yu.

At this moment, the Sky Pillar on the stage flashed, and the final overall scores and rankings of the sports competition were about to be announced.

Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Wang Hai… everyone present looked at the Sky Pillar, watching the names appear one by one.

First place, Songyang High School, Zhang Yu, 341 points

Second place, Bai Long High School, Yu Xinghan, 338 points

Third place, Ziyun High School, Le Mulan, 324 points

Fourth place, Bai Long High School, Song Hailong, 322 points

Fifth place, Songyang High School, Bai Zhenzhen, 320 points

Sixth place, Hongta High School, Xiong Wenwu…

Bai Zhenzhen didn't bother to look any further after sixth place. After all, she felt that only the top five in this competition had any value, and the ones behind were just trash, not worth looking at.

On the other side, while Zhang Yu was still looking at the name ranked first on the Sky Pillar, his phone rang. It was a call from Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Yu answered the phone and said, "I took first place."

Zhang Pianpian said, "Yes, I've already communicated with Bai Long. As long as you're willing to admit that you accepted Bai Long's imitation demon muscle modification, they will give you advertisements and endorsements, and they will help you withstand the pressure from other companies."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and asked, "How much money?"

Zhang Pianpian sighed, "It should have been more, but since Le Jingchen started hyping up your talent with Gang Shan, Ziyun has begun to fully promote you as a peerless genius. If this continues, the advertising and endorsement fees will probably be reduced a lot."

Zhang Yu was furious.

The flattery that he had just found pleasing now sounded so harsh when he thought about it.

For the first time, Zhang Yu discovered that he actually hated flattery so much.

Zhang Yu asked again, "What about Ah Zhen? She's in fifth place, can you help her get some advertisements too?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "I know, wait for news."

"Also, no matter how much money you get today, remember not to spend it first, and don't use it all to pay off the loan."

"In less than two months, I'll be going to university."

"Let's meet tonight, I have something to talk to you about."

From Zhang Pianpian's words, Zhang Yu felt a sense of urgency coming over him.

Unknowingly, there were less than two months left before Zhang Pianpian left Kunxu Layer 1.

At that time, he and Bai Zhenzhen would lose Zhang Pianpian's current protection and face the pressure from high school, the student council, and the company alone.

Thinking of this, the joy in Zhang Yu's heart from winning the sports competition was dispelled a lot, and a sense of urgency surged in his heart instead.
