Shortly after Zhang Yu and Zhang Pianpian finished contacting each other, several electronic contracts were sent over.

It outlines their requirements for promoting the Imitation Demon Muscle, as well as the requirements for shooting commercials and Spokesperson.

The specific reward is...

"The Endorsement Fee is 600,000 yuan per year, payable in three installments..."

Looking at the reward, Zhang Yu felt his heart surge with excitement. This was the first time he had been so rich since he came to Kunxu.

But the thought that he should have received more money originally, and that it was all Le Jingchen's fault for labeling him Peerless Genius with Purple Cloud, causing his commercial value to plummet, made Zhang Yu angry again.

Meanwhile, Bai Zhenzhen, standing to the side, was equally excited, her face flushed with excitement upon seeing her total Endorsement Fee of 400,000 yuan.

"Haha, although my ranking wasn't as high as Zhang Yu's this time, I don't have the label of Peerless Genius, unlike Yu Zi who attracted a bunch of dirty traffic from people who only care about geniuses."

Of course, the contract also contains many constraints on them.

For example, one cannot deny using the Imitation Demon Muscle, nor can one prevent others from using Imitation Demon Muscle.

For example, regarding the explanation for the lack of physical characteristics, one reason is their strong self-control, and another is the excellent technology of the Xianyun Corporation, which allows them to adapt extremely quickly, thus preventing others from seeing their physical characteristics.

He and Bai Zhenzhen must also state that the main reason they were able to achieve excellent results in Physical Competition was because of their Imitation Demon Muscle technology.

Other restrictions include not being able to criticize the Imitation Demon Muscle, not being able to use the new Body Tempering techniques of Purple Cloud and Red Pagoda, and so on.

Of course, after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen saw the reward, they both felt it was a trivial matter.

Shortly after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen signed the contract, a number of staff members and a Body Tempering internet celebrity arrived at the rest area of Songyang High School, saying they wanted to interview Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu had been informed by Zhang Pianpian beforehand and was prepared for this. He quickly appeared in front of the camera with Bai Zhenzhen...

"That's right, our achievements today are all thanks to the fact that we jointly underwent the Imitation Demon Muscle modification technology from the Xianyun Corporation..."

"I used to be a terrible student who couldn't even get into the top ten in my grade, but ever since I got the Imitation Demon Muscle, everything tastes delicious, injections don't hurt anymore, I can concentrate better in class, and I'm gaining muscle faster..."

"If you're afraid of getting low scores, you'll have to take the Imitation Demon Muscle. I believe that in the future, students who don't take the Imitation Demon Muscle course will lack competitiveness and be gradually eliminated in the great wave of high school..."

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's interview continued, a large circle of students and teachers from both regular and Key High School schools quickly gathered around them.

Zhang Yu then noticed that many people, including some audience members, were going to the Immortal Rhythm Company's booth for inquiries.

Especially shortly after the interview, Zhang Yu saw students from ordinary high schools and Key High School running towards the booth with longing and anticipation on their faces, as if they were offering themselves up as freebies, which made him feel somewhat emotional.

At the same time, the Evil God that had been disguised as prayer beads on Zhang Yu's chest said, "Why are you sighing? You're not pitying those poor wretches, are you?"

"If they don't spend money here, they'll spend it elsewhere. It's the same to squeeze them dry, so why not let us make a little extra money along the way?"

Zhang Yu went to a corner and said softly, in a voice only he could hear, "I don't feel sorry for them. After all, the technology of Imitation Demon Muscle is indeed useful."

"Hehe, does it really work?" The Evil God suddenly chuckled. "The Qi Refining Stage has its limits: the highest level of Dao Heart Level 10, the highest level of Mana is 100, and the upper limit of Physical Strength is Level 10."

"Do you think that even without Imitation Demon Muscle, these students competing with you could reach this level if given more time to train?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, but he already knew the answer in his heart.

Every student present was a top student from elementary school onwards. Given enough time, pushing their cultivation to the upper limit of Qi Refining should not be a problem.

The Evil God god said in a low voice, "A long time ago, as long as you scored above 650 on the Gaokao exam and had one or two competition rankings during your three years of high school, you could easily get into the top 10 universities."

"Later on, the requirements for Gaokao scores gradually became higher and higher. Students had to improve their data as much as possible in just three years, compressing the cultivation level that originally required 5 or even 10 years in the Qi Refining Stage into 3 years."

"Later on, the requirements for competition awards became increasingly stringent."

"The competition starts in the senior year of high school, gradually becomes the competition in the junior year, and then it starts in the first year of high school, where you have to compete and fight for everything."

"Now we need to use these Imitation Demon Muscle; if you want to be a first-year high school student, you need to be at the second-year high school level."

"This so-called Imitation Demon Muscle... it's just squeezing out the power that they could have cultivated in one or two years earlier."

"But just like when Body Tempering pills were promoted, once most people started using pills Imitation Demon Muscle, those Immortal Dao immortality will still be good at Immortal Dao immortality."

"Those who couldn't get into the top 10 universities before still can't get into the top 10 universities, and those who couldn't get the Foundation Establishment Certificate still can't get the Foundation Establishment Certificate. The ultimate limit in life is still the Qi Refining limit."

"What's the difference between now and when they weren't using drugs or employing any new Body Tempering techniques?"

"Oh, no, there's still a difference. These useless immortal Immortal Dao have taken on another debt for this Imitation Demon Muscle."

"Do you understand? The sole purpose of these Body Tempering techniques is to help them compete with other students in high school."

"But no matter how hard they try, no matter how desperately they fight, the number of spots in the top ten won't increase, the number of people passing the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam won't increase, and the upper limit of Qi Refining won't change." The Evil God laughed again, "From beginning to end, it's just the Ten Great Sects and the company playing them for fools."

"But they played it well, making them willingly pay up. They were much more skillful than us Evil God."

Just as the Evil God was chuckling, Zhao Tianxing cautiously approached Zhang Yu and inquired about the Imitation Demon Muscle.

Zhao Tianxing chose to give up the Special Training Program at Songyang High School last time, partly because he felt the program was too cruel, and partly because he was afraid of wasting his family's money and ultimately gaining nothing.

But seeing Zhang Yu's results this time sparked Zhao Tianxing's great interest in the Imitation Demon Muscle.

In particular, he watched Zhang Yu improve rapidly day by day.

Zhao Tianxing was initially too embarrassed to ask Zhang Yu about his rapid progress, but seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen actively promoting themselves and giving interviews, he decided to inquire as well.

He looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "A-Yu, Imitation Demon Muscle really that powerful? Can they close the gap between us and the Three Great High Schools?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, that's really impressive. Without the Imitation Demon Muscle, I wouldn't have gotten first place."

Zhao Tianxing asked expectantly, "Do you think I need to use the Imitation Demon Muscle?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Considering the contractual obligations, Zhang Yu could only nod and reply, "Yes, it's fine."

Zhao Tianxing laughed, "Do you also think I should accept reform?"

Seeing Zhao Tianxing's excited expression, as if he had already made up his mind, Zhang Yu jokingly said, "Actually, the reason I'm so powerful is because of the Natural Body Refinement effect, which allows me to control my increasing physical strength as I wish."

Zhao Tianxing thought Zhang Yu was joking and laughed along.

The Evil God, disguised as a rosary, sneered, "You still want to imply he shouldn't spend this money? Save it. Everyone's starting to use new technologies. How can he keep up if he doesn't spend this money? He'll just be eliminated early."

"Besides, these good-for-nothing Immortal Dao won't listen to you. If you keep trying to persuade them, hehe... they'll just think you're lying to them, afraid they'll improve."

"Don't end up breaking the contract again and losing friends."

"This is Kunxu, and the situation is what it is. How can you alone change it?"

On the other side, He Dayou had been straining his ears to listen to Zhao Tianxing and Zhang Yu's conversation. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Natural Body Refinement, huh? I don't see a single part of your body that's natural."

Then his eyes flickered, and he thought, "Could it be that he's afraid we've all undergone Imitation Demon Muscle modifications and will catch up with him in the future?"

Thinking of this, a trace of worry welled up in He Dayou's heart. "I wonder if there will be any problems after I've already had the transplant surgery, and then I'll have to get the Imitation Demon Muscle implanted?"

Looking at the classmates around him, Zhang Yu could sense the restless desire in their hearts.

A sense of helplessness flashed through Zhang Yu's mind. He seemed to already see that soon, one by one, his classmates would become neither human nor beast.

From now on Songyang High School can be renamed Songyang Demonic Beast Garden.

"No, if this continues for a few years, the entire Songyang City might turn into Zootopia."

The Evil God, disguised as a rosary, said, "Boy, you still have time to care about others?"

Zhang Yu walked to the side and said softly, "It's been a long time since you've said this much."

"Let's take a break and save some energy," the Evil God god chuckled. "Besides, there are a lot of people watching here. If I say less, I'm afraid of giving away any clues and implicating us both, right?"

"Kid, everyone in this arena, from top to bottom, is blind. They've only seen the tip of the iceberg of your talent; otherwise, they would have dissected you thoroughly and studied you meticulously..."

"Even so, there are still quite a few people who harbor hostility towards you, and your Elder Sister is leaving Songyang City in two months to go to the university on the Kunxu Second Layer, right? In two months, I'm afraid quite a few people will be targeting you..."

Zhang Yu said coldly, "What do you want to say?"

The Evil God tempted, "Don't you want your potential to be further unleashed? Don't you want to become stronger and richer, so that you can protect yourself after your Elder Sister leaves, take care of Bai Zhenzhen, and even ascend to the Kunxu Second Layer together in the future..."

Clearly, although this Evil God hadn't spoken much during this time, he had been silently observing and gaining a deeper understanding of Zhang Yu's situation.

Zhang Yu didn't answer, but thought to himself, "Of course I want to further unleash my potential."

Looking at the Feather Scroll that appeared before him, Zhang Yu Feather Scroll wished that the Yu Shu would buff him up by 100,000 levels in one go, enough to blast Kunxu apart with a single punch.

"But what's the price?" Zhang Yu said calmly, "Are you trying to trick me into going after your colleague again?"

The Evil God smiled and said, "How can you call this deception? I'm just giving you a hint: you always have a way out. As long as you hunt down another Evil God for me, your potential will surge again! Skyrocket! Crazy surge!"

Although he did not receive a reply from Zhang Yu, the Evil God knew in his heart that his suggestion must have already taken root in Zhang Yu's mind, and all that was left was for him to walk down this path.
