In the martial arts class, Zhang Yu was focusing on the cultivation of basic exercises.
By the beginning of September, he had successively raised his own basic Mind Refining Technique and basic Breathing Technique to level 10.
He had also cultivated the newly learned High School Basic Digestion Technique and High School Basic Medication Technique to level 10.
However, these basic exercises were indeed just basic exercises. Even if he cultivated them to level 10, although it enhanced the effect of the exercises, in Zhang Yu's view, it was barely passable.
If it weren't for the chain diagram in the Feather Book, he probably wouldn't have chosen to put so much thought into these basic exercises.
Especially since some of these basic exercises had many moves, which were quite time-consuming for him.
"Alas, for me, the speed of cultivating a technique depends on the length of time it takes to practice it once. If it takes too long to practice a set of basic exercises, it will be slower to improve than expert-level techniques."
At this moment, Zhang Yu was cultivating the High School Basic Footwork.
As long as he cultivated this High School Basic Footwork to level 10, then the exercises required for the High School Holy Body would be completed by 6, and the first layer of enhancement could be activated.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu became more and more excited: "What kind of effect will it be?"
Lei Jun, who was next to him, looked at Zhang Yu's enthusiastic eyes and positive attitude, sighed in his heart, and could only try his best to teach him, hoping that he could practice the remaining basic exercises of Songyang High School as soon as possible and stop wasting time on them.
In another corner of the martial arts class, Bai Zhenzhen said lightly: "All ten of you, come at me together."
In an instant, her figure, with layers of electric light, had shuttled between the ten second-year high school students.
Although her strength was much stronger than any of them, facing the siege of ten people at the same time, feeling the moves coming from all directions, she still felt an unprecedented pressure.
After all, in the same Qi Refining realm, every additional opponent would geometrically increase the difficulty of the battle.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen had to face the attacks of ten people from ten different angles every moment.
But Bai Zhenzhen still gritted her teeth and persevered.
"I am going to fight the strongest high school student in Kunxu to win the first place in martial arts..."
"Since the quality in the class is not enough, then use quantity to make up for it. I want to break the limit again and again and enhance my actual combat ability."
...
In the Taoist tutoring class after school.
Zhang Yu was superficially doing the test papers in front of him, but the Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique in his mind was running wildly.
Since experiencing spiritual world cultivation, Zhang Yu had realized the true meaning of the Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique. The more he faced pressure, the more he could display the mysteries of this mental technique.
At this moment, although the layers of pressure brought by Zhou Chechen added many obstacles to Zhang Yu's path of immortality, this kind of obstacle and pressure... increasingly stimulated the effectiveness of the Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique in the face of pressure and desperation, making Zhang Yu more and more courageous in battle.
Under the continuous blessing of the Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique, Zhang Yu felt that every day he faced pressure, whether it was his body or mana, they were running more and more actively, and the potential in his body was constantly stimulated, surpassing the limit again and again to improve his cultivation efficiency.
Especially the four hours of tutoring time after school every day.
Facing the endless rune test papers in front of him, which were meaningless even if he finished them, this could be said to be the time when Zhang Yu felt the greatest pressure every day, but also the time when the Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique was most stimulated.
Under such circumstances, not only did the mental technique run more violently, striving to improve his Dao heart, but the Great Sun Qi Sea, which was running passively, also became more and more turbulent.
Even the process of deducing the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm with the true spiritual root in his dantian became faster.
This made Zhang Yu suddenly feel a sense of emotion: "Cultivating this Remnant Ox Shedding Body Mind Technique requires facing layers of pressure, facing stronger and stronger pressure, to make rapid progress."
"The stronger the pressure, the more at ease I am."
"I wonder what kind of situation the Desolate Ox Great Sage was in when he created this technique."
"But my current state can be considered to conform to the essence of this technique by chance."
As for the true spiritual root in his stomach, it was Bai Zhenzhen who lent it to Zhang Yu for this period of time every day under Fu Ji's suggestion, just to make use of the time for doing the test papers.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu casually scribbled a few answers on the paper, then glanced at Teacher Zhou in front of him, and saw that the other party was enjoying his phone.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "For me... if I purely do test papers for 4 hours, it would be a waste of life. But for the teacher who accompanies me to do test papers, it is also a boring and uninteresting waste of time for 4 hours."
"The other party is just a wage earner after all, how could they possibly monitor me attentively for these 4 hours?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Moreover, it is meaningless for me to do these broken papers. It seems that these guys will not come to grade them at all."
He felt that the papers he was doing now were like homework during winter and summer vacations on Earth, and the tutoring teacher in front of him was too lazy to check them.
While Zhang Yu was secretly cultivating during the Taoist tutoring time, on the other side of the city...
Bai Zhenzhen brought up strands of electric light, shuttling through the traffic like a bolt of lightning.
In the next moment, her figure leaped lightly, and she had already shot into the main entrance of a building, and then, accompanied by the layers of electric light lighting up in the corridor, she had already arrived at the 20th floor.
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived..."
"I wish you a pleasant meal."
Looking at another completed takeaway order, Bai Zhenzhen, wearing a takeaway uniform, smiled slightly, and with the operation of the Electric Light Step, the whole person brought up afterimages and shot out.
Because there were always people watching, Bai Zhenzhen had no way to go to the Dark Learning Gang for tutoring and earning money.
But she and Zhang Yu had already borrowed the loan amount long ago, and the monthly loan repayment, medicine money, food expenses... etc. were not small pressures.
Fortunately, in addition to the income from accompanying Yu Xinghan, Song Hailong, and Le Mulan for training, there was also Zhang Yu's weekly income from selling seeds at the Red Pagoda to subsidize the family.
But even so...
"Alas, Yu Zi, this guy, the quality of the seeds is too low, and the income from selling seeds every week is getting less and less. I can only rely on delivering takeaways to support him for a while."
"But fortunately, in the process of delivering takeaways, I can also exercise with the power of thunder, which is not a complete waste of time."
At this moment, with a sound of her phone ringing, Bai Zhenzhen felt her heart skip a beat when she saw the notification: "Oh no, it's almost overtime."
In the next moment, she saw her body accelerate again, integrating into the traffic, and racing against time like other takeaway riders.
While Bai Zhenzhen was delivering takeaways, not far from her, a slender figure wrapped in darkness was silently staring at Bai Zhenzhen's back.
She was wearing a pair of glasses on her head, and as her gaze shifted, the camera on the glasses was always aimed at Bai Zhenzhen.
No matter how Bai Zhenzhen accelerated or rushed to deliver takeaways, she always maintained a position not far from Bai Zhenzhen, so that Bai Zhenzhen could not escape her tracking.
The woman staring at Bai Zhenzhen was named Si Zhouyu, belonging to the Zhou family's security force, and graduated from Jinzhou College with a major in commercial intelligence.
"Alas..."
Thinking that her recent job was to track such a takeaway rider and high school student, Si Zhouyu felt a sense of helplessness.
"Giving competing companies bad reviews and creating rhythm, stealing contracts from rival companies, destroying the feng shui wealth tree of competitors... these big things should be what I do."
"How can I get promoted and get a raise by following such a poor ghost every day?"
Si Zhouyu approached Bai Zhenzhen again, and as her body completely merged into the black shadow, she was almost sticking to a distance of a dozen meters, unscrupulously but silently taking pictures of Bai Zhenzhen.
"Can you hurry up and do something big?"
...
Time passed day by day, and the monthly exam in early September soon ended.
Before the results were announced, Zhou Chechen had already seen Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's results in advance.
"Zhang Yu is second? Although the score is still very high, it is only relative to the students after the second place."
"In a vertical comparison, not only has he not continued to improve, but his level of mana and physical strength has also declined."
"On the other hand, Bai Zhenzhen is still improving."
Looking at the transcript and the specific data shown by the two in the exam, Zhou Chechen thought to himself: "In the monthly exam in October, Zhang Yu will probably decline even more, and the gap with Bai Zhenzhen will be even greater."
"Facing this situation of continuous decline in level, Zhang Yu should not be able to hold on for more than a month or two, right?"
While Zhou Chechen was looking at the transcript.
In an apartment near Ziyun High School.
Zhang Yu said: "This time, I used the anti-detection ceremony to hide the progress in the data. Zhou Chechen should think that the recent methods are very effective."
Bai Zhenzhen on the other side did not do this. After all, in the eyes of the people around her, Zhang Yu was addicted to basic exercises every day and had to make up for talisman classes, so it was normal for his grades to decline. On the contrary, Bai Zhenzhen's performance in martial arts classes and physical education classes was becoming more and more prominent, so it was only natural for her grades to improve.
Fu Ji said: "That's right, Zhou Chechen, this guy, should still want to use the gap between you to put further pressure on Zhang Yu."
"Let them think they have succeeded."
"You have to use this time to continue to develop and continue to become stronger."
"Don't rush to upgrade and confront them with intensity. Time is on your side."
...
Mid-September.
Inside the apartment.
Le Mulan sniffed, looked at Zhang Yu with some doubts, and suddenly asked: "Why do you... smell less smelly?"
Le Mulan, who had super metabolism, was very sensitive to various odors.
If the sweat on Zhang Yu's body was sour and smelly before, the sweat on the other party's body now smelled pure to Le Mulan, like her own sweat.
Of course, Zhang Yu would not say that this was the reason for his successful cultivation.
Not only did he work hard to cultivate the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen every day to strengthen his physique and eliminate toxins.
It was also because after the High School Holy Body completed six exercises, he had an additional enhancement.
Elementary - High School Holy Body (6/6): Drug load, absorption, and metabolism are increased to the peak of Qi Refining.
Since he had this enhancement, coupled with Zhang Yu's level 10 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, he felt that the toxins in his body could be discharged, collected, and controlled by him, and the Zen character on his chest was becoming more and more black.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "The urine I pee out now might be able to be used as water for people to drink."
After Le Mulan left, she sent a message to her brother Le Jingchen: Does Zhang Yu have a record of super metabolism surgery?
Le Jingchen: No.
Le Mulan: If a person has not had super metabolism surgery, but the sweat he excretes is very clean, is that possible?
Le Jingchen: Collect a copy of his sweat, and I will give it to the laboratory for testing to know the result.
Le Mulan was slightly stunned and hesitated: "Collect Zhang Yu's sweat?"
...
Late September.
Red Pagoda High School.
Yu Xinghan, whose cheeks were a little sunken, looked at Zhang Yu, who was alive and kicking and eating a big meal, and sighed: "Your physical fitness is good."
The big meal in front of him was provided by Red Pagoda Company to excellent seed providers, that is, Yu Xinghan.
Although Zhang Yu came to freeload, he seemed to eat more than Yu Xinghan.
Yu Xinghan couldn't help but asked: "You haven't launched fewer attacks than me, how can you still maintain such good physical strength?"
Because he had met several times at the Red Pagoda, Yu Xinghan now knew that Zhang Yu had the same Red Pagoda part-time job as him.
Zhang Yu smiled and said: "Eat more, supplement more nutrition."
He glanced at his Feather Book, and saw that the enhancement of the High School Holy Body had been improved by one more item on the basis of the primary level.
Upper-level - High School Holy Body (8/8): The digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food are increased to the peak of Qi Refining.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Is this High School Holy Body just super able to take medicine and super able to eat?"
"It also conforms to the characteristics of Kunxu high school students."
"I just don't know what the last item will be?"
As time passed, it soon came to mid-October.
The second round of Foundation Establishment exams is about to begin.
