night.

Beside the River Channel.

Zhang Yu Yu's muscles twitched continuously as he circulated his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi with the help of his True Spirit Root.

Since joining the Physical Competition Team and securing a spot in the Physical Competition, Zhang Yu has never gone to the gymnasium where the Competition Team trains again, instead continuing to cultivate his skills quietly as before.

After all, the Primordial Pill, had already consumed most of his income, and he couldn't afford the Nine Dragons Needle Technique and related medicines provided by the Competition Team.

Bai Zhenzhen, on the other hand, didn't need to spend money on something as expensive as the Primordial Pill, so she learned the Nine Dragons Needle Technique and bought related medicines from the Competition Team to try it out.

Bai Zhenzhen's evaluation of the Competition Team's training method was. "After using the injections, I can't eat or sleep, and I can't stop. The Body Tempering effect is amazing! Yu Zi, using medicine is really more effective than Natural Body Refinement. You should try it too."

Of course, Zhang Yu knew that A-Zhen's ability to perform acupuncture was due not only to her superior drug tolerance but also to the assistance of her True Spirit Root. Furthermore, the True Spirit Root had recently been amplified by some of the effects of Zhang Yu's cultivation of Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, strengthening her internal organs...

Just then, Zhang Yu's phone vibrated, and when he opened it, he found it was a message from Zhao Tianxing.

"Um?"

It was the news that was going viral in the various Songyang High School group chats: the second-year students of Songyang High School had been completely wiped out in Physical Competition, the Oasis Group had shared some Immortal Dao Technique, the Three Great High Schools had achieved a comprehensive breakthrough in Body Tempering techniques, and the Physical Strength of the top students in each grade had skyrocketed...

Zhao Tianxing knew that Zhang Yu usually spent almost every minute cultivating and was too lazy to check the group chat. Even though he had joined some student groups at Songyang High School, he had muted all the messages. That's why he sent the message to Zhang Yu, wanting to remind his good friend.

Zhang Yu was quite surprised after reading it. "Those second-year high school students from Lan Ling actually all lost?"

"New technology? I wonder how far Song Hailong and his team have progressed... Maybe I can ask my older sister."

Zhang Yu knew that Lan Ling's level was definitely not weak, and since the opponent couldn't even make it into the top ten in the Physical Competition, it was clear that after the Three Great Famous Schools achieved a breakthrough in Body Tempering technology, the students' physical bodies must have improved significantly.

Feeling a bit of pressure, Zhang Yu could only continue to calm down and focus his attention on cultivating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

A moment later, Bai Zhenzhen, now wearing a blonde wig, tattoos, a pad, and a mask, ran over.

She lightly leaped onto Zhang Yu's back, skillfully landing on Zhang Yu back and hugging him from behind. "It's time, Yu Zi, time to go to class."

At the same time, the True Spirit Root flickered slightly and burrowed back into Bai Zhenzhen's belly, making her feel a sense of comfort.

As the True Spirit Root switched back and forth between the two of them during this time, Bai Zhenzhen didn't know whether she had adapted to the shape of the True Spirit Root that Zhang Yu had expanded, or the True Spirit Root had adapted to the shapes of the two of them. Now, switching between them was almost as comfortable as before, with only a pleasant feeling of Spiritual Energy energy flowing into her body.

Zhang Yu used his Sports Car Legs to speed towards the park. As his Physical Strength increased by leaps and bounds, the speed of his Sports Car Legs also increased.

Feeling Bai Zhenzhen's head resting against his back, Zhang Yu said, "A-Zhen, you're quite fast now, why don't you consider learning a ' Sports Car Legs' technique to get around faster? It's really Cultivation Method."

Bai Zhenzhen: "No."

Bai Zhenzhen, leaning against Zhang Yu's back, closed her eyes and comfortably began practicing her Breathing Technique to quickly refine her magical power.

Seeing that A-Zhen didn't seem to understand what he meant, Zhang Yu decided to be more explicit. "Sigh, running this far every day, I feel like my shoes are going to wear out."

Bai Zhenzhen kept her eyes tightly shut, as if she hadn't heard anything at all, and continued to Breath Circulation her Spiritual Energy.

She thought to herself, "Is Yu Zi targeting me? This guy wants to rebel against the Heavenly Gang, making me practice riding Sports Car Legs while he carries me on his back, so he can take the opportunity to cultivate? Silly child, how could someone who's been on the motorcycle possibly want to get off?"

Feeling Bai Zhenzhen hugging him even tighter, Zhang Yu, determined not to get down, cursed inwardly.

"I was hoping that after A-Zhen got stronger, she could carry me on her back for a while, so that we could ride together as good brothers and I could have more time to cultivate. But now even my running buddy doesn't want to. She just treats me like a driver and cultivates every day while I'm traveling."

So Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel right that one person is always running. If two people can run, it's like a dual-engine system. If one is sick or injured, the other can still run. Don't you think so, A-Zhen?"

But Bai Zhenzhen seemed not to hear, only tightening her grip on Zhang Yu's strong thighs, with only the deafening Breath Circulation sounds coming from her mouth.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This guy... is he pretending not to hear me again?"

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Good son, you want me to get down already? You have no idea how thick-skinned your mother is!"

"I could ride on your back for a year and never get off!"

In the days that followed, as the Physical Competition drew closer, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, through their arduous training, gradually felt a sense of urgency.

Fearing they might not achieve a good ranking in the competition, they always try their best to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

And time passed by as the two diligently cultivated... day after day...

This day, in the training room of Ziyun High School.

Bai Zhenzhen walked in with a puzzled look, and seeing Le Mulan's slightly rapid breathing, asked curiously, "You asked me to train with you?"

Le Mulan nodded. "I want to train in close combat."

"But I'm making it clear beforehand that you can't use tricks like spitting blood or spraying saliva."

In fact Le Mulan originally wanted to hire Zhang Yu as her training partner.

But she felt that the leap from clothes to True Person was too big, and if the other person sat on her again... she was afraid it would leave an even deeper shadow in her heart.

"It just so happens that Bai Zhenzhen is also a poor person, and she spends all her time with Zhang Yu, so her bottom line is also very low. I'll use her to test the waters first."

After a brief exchange during the fight, Le Mulan thought to herself, "As expected, the scent on Zhang Yu's clothes belongs to Bai Zhenzhen."

"Bai Zhenzhen also smells of Zhang Yu." "These two must... be they do combat training together every day, that's why they leave each other's scent."

"So now I'm essentially doing indirect combat training with Zhang Yu."

Thinking of this, Le Mulan felt her breathing quicken and her mind tense up slightly.

"As expected, I still need to practice."

An hour later, training ended. Bai Zhenzhen looked at the 5,000 yuan that had been deposited into her account, feeling a mix of emotions. "These guys from the Three Great High Schools... they really have money to burn."

On this day, inside the Dark Learning Gang's park.

As soon as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen entered the underground classroom, they noticed that many of the security guards, teachers, and salespeople passing by were injured.

Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the Dark Learning Gang and the Gold Class Gang had engaged in a fierce battle yesterday over competition for students.

Zhang Yu asked again, "Where's Cai Tou? I haven't seen him."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The Car Woman sighed, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Oh, Cai Tou is gone."

Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "He... had an accident during the fight?"

The Car Woman smiled upon hearing this and said, "How could that be? Cai Tou is very strong. He didn't even die in yesterday's small skirmish. He... was fired."

Zhang Yu said, "Expelled? If they're so strong, why expel them?"

The Car Woman shook her head helplessly. "What's the use of being good at fighting? Even if you're a Qi Refining Qi Refining Stage, can you stop a flying sword? It's better to teach more classes and earn more money."

"But Cai Tou is getting old, and after taking the Dao Heart Buffer for so many years, his memory has been getting worse and worse in the past few months. Fewer and fewer students are signing up for his classes, and his performance is not meeting the targets, so naturally he has to leave."

As she spoke, the Car Woman gave a bitter smile and said, "In the end, whether in a company or a gang, if you don't get into university and obtain Foundation Establishment Certificate, who won't end up like this? It's just a matter of time before you leave."

Watching the Car Woman's dejected figure leave, Bai Zhenzhen slowly pressed herself against Zhang Yu from behind and sent her Spirit Root to him.

She said with a determined look, "Yu Zi, we must get into the top ten and complete the Foundation Establishment."

Zhang Yu nodded firmly in agreement. "Okay, I'm going to cultivate now. You focus on your studies."

In the cafeteria during lunchtime.

Zhao Tianxing watched enviously as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were gulping down the Synthetic Food.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "I didn't expect that A-Zhen and Yu Zi would actually make it into the Competition Team."

"However, after the Three Great High Schools received technology sharing from Oasis Group, their momentum has been too strong."

Zhao Tianxing thought of some recent rumors and looked at Zhang Yu, asking, "Are you aware that Li Yong and Ye Haitao from the Competition Team Competition Team are causing trouble and demanding refunds?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yu shook his head. "I don't know, I haven't been to the Competition Team's training for the past two weeks."

Bai Zhenzhen chimed in, "Yeah, I heard them arguing when I got there. It sounded like they wanted a refund."

Zhao Tianxing sighed, "Alas, the strategic planning of a behemoth like Oasis Group has unknowingly impacted the future of countless families."

Qian Shen nodded and said solemnly, "From now on, the Three Great High Schools will monopolize all competitions."

"But that's not the scariest part; they've already monopolized all competitions except for Physical Competition."

"The most frightening thing is that after their Body Tempering techniques improve, the top students' physical education scores will inevitably rise, and the average score will also increase again."

"I did the math yesterday. If things continue like this, with the combined gap in competition scores and grades, only one or two students from each Songyang High School might be able to get into Ten Great Top Universities."

The Wa Wa, disguised as a rosary and hanging around Zhang Yu's neck, chuckled and said in Zhang Yu's mind, "The wealthy Lineage in Songyang City have started fighting amongst themselves."

"Hehe, these are the wealthy Lineage behind the Three Great High Schools. They want to completely monopolize the spots for students from the top ten high schools and squeeze out all the other high schools."

Zhang Yu was startled. "Infighting among the wealthy?"

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's surprise, the Wa Wa chuckled and continued, "Wealth accumulates continuously. The Three Great High Schools receive the most top ten college admissions in Songyang City every year. The Lineage behind them are becoming increasingly powerful, so their wealth naturally grows far faster than that of other high schools."

"Otherwise, how do you think they managed to monopolize the competition year after year?"

"The situation in Songyang City is actually considered relatively good."

"I know that there are some cities on the Kunxu First Layer, with tens of millions of people, but only one Key High School."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So, we've just happened to be in an era where the Three Great High Schools are further monopolizing the top ten spots?"

Zhang Yu sighed. The longer he stayed in Kunxu, the more exhausted he felt. It was as if the whole world was exerting an invisible pressure, constantly urging him on and pushing him to run forward.

As the days passed, the day of the Physical Competition finally arrived.
