Two months later, he went up to the Second Layer with Zhang Pianpian?

Just as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were in shock, Zhang Pianpian continued, "The Gaokao will begin in less than two months."

"After the Gaokao, I will go to the Kunxu Second Layer for an interview."

"Under normal circumstances, students who pass the interview will stay at the university, since time is tight and all university students need to start classes before enrollment."

"So after two months, I won't be able to protect you in Songyang City anymore."

Zhang Pianpian turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "But as I said before, I've prepared a path for you: the Heavenly Genius Class at Ten Thousand Laws University."

Zhang Yu knew about Ten Thousand Laws University; it was the university directly under the Myriad Laws Sect Ten Great Sects, one of the Ten Great Top Universities.

Companies like Xianyun Corporation, Deep Sea Education Group, Wanxing Group... even Songyang High School and White Dragon High School, if you trace them back to their origins, they all ultimately belong to the Myriad Laws Sect. From the perspective of the Myriad Laws Sect, the competition between these companies and schools is all internal competition.

But... the Heavenly Genius Class? What's that? Zhang Yu searched his memory but couldn't recall it.

"Sis, what is this 'Heavenly Genius Class'? Can I enroll in it in my first year of high school? And will I get into university?"

Zhang Pianpian explained, "The so-called 'Heavenly Genius Class ' is a place where Ten Thousand Laws University exceptionally admits a group of Immortal Dao geniuses from the first year of high school and trains them in advance, so they can become university students in their first year of high school."

"The main applicants for the Heavenly Genius Class are usually first-year high school students on the Second Layer, so very few people on the first floor know about it."

Zhang Yu understood; this was the unorthodox method used by the Second Layer Masters.

Zhang Pianpian continued, "Your competition results have been quite good lately. If you can also get into the top three in the upcoming Dao Heart Competition, and then use the prize money and Endorsement Fee to improve your Dao Arts, you should be able to meet the application requirements for the Heavenly Genius Class at Ten Thousand Laws University."

"As long as you pass the exam for the Heavenly Genius Class, you can enter the Ten Thousand Laws University with me."

Zhang Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this, especially since he realized that this way he could avoid the inescapable trap set by the wealthy in Songyang City for the "Top Ten Poor People" exam, and he would no longer have to worry about the dangers after Zhang Pianpian left.

But the next moment, he turned to Bai Zhenzhen beside him and asked Zhang Pianpian, "Sister, what about A-Zhen? Are her grades good enough to apply for the Heavenly Genius Class?"

Zhang Yu had previously Bai Zhenzhen's competition results.

Although A-Zhen's progress has been astonishing, and her results of placing in the top four in Martial Competition and the top five in Physical Competition are definitely excellent, but...

Zhang Pianpian shook her head. "I'm afraid it won't meet the standards of the Heavenly Genius Class."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart sank, and he turned to look at Bai Zhenzhen again.

But Bai Zhenzhen chuckled and said, "It's alright, Yu Zi. You guys go to the Second Layer of Kunxu and help me set up an outpost. I'll come up in two years."

Zhang Yu didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Pianpian and said, "Sister, is there no way to make an exception? Can you find a way to buy me a spot in the Heavenly Genius Class exam?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen's breathing quickened slightly. She looked nervously at Zhang Pianpian, her hands already clenched tightly together without her noticing.

Facing their gazes, Zhang Pianpian said calmly, "I can't do it."

"You must understand that when it comes to crossing social classes, there are many rules in Kunxu that cannot be defied."

"If you want to climb the ladder, there's no other way than through good grades and exams."

"Only by passing the tests repeatedly within the rules, achieving sufficiently excellent results, and obtaining the required certificates can one climb the ranks in Kunxu."

"This is the ironclad rule of Kunxu. Anyone who tries to violate this rule will only be met with swift and severe punishment..."

Bai Zhenzhen's heart trembled upon hearing these words.

In the silence, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly laughed and said, "I told you it's alright, Yu Zi. You go up and compete with the Second Layer Masters first. I'll stay in Songyang and suppress all the rich people here before going up."

Although she said that, Bai Zhenzhen knew she wasn't telling the truth.

She really... really didn't want to stay in Songyang City alone.

"But there's no other way. I can't just let A-Yu give up her chance to go to university and stay with me, can I?"

"If I say something like that, I won't even be able to be friends with A-Yu anymore, right?"

Just then, Zhang Yu said again, "Sister, is it really impossible to take A-Zhen with us?"

A chill ran through Zhang Yu's heart, because before Zhang Yu could utter his next word, the countdown to the Ritual entered his mind.

It was as if it was urging him to seize the opportunity and get into university.

But under the oppressive chill, Zhang Yu paused, and finally spoke what he wanted to say, what the Ritual forbade him to say.

He knew he wouldn't be at ease unless he asked that question.

Zhang Yu then said, "Or... if I stay, do you think A-Zhen and I can get into the top ten universities through the normal channels? Just like you, Elder Sister?"

Zhang Pianpian shook her head. "My path is only suitable for me; you can't follow it."

"Fool!" the Evil God disguised as prayer beads roared, "Are you stupid?"

"It's good that Bai Zhenzhen can't be taken up here. Let's kill her and steal her Spirit Root."

"With the resources of Ten Thousand Laws University, your talent, and her Spirit Root, you will have no problem reaching the Nascent Soul Realm within one or two hundred years! Financial freedom and cultivation freedom will be just around the corner!" The Evil God felt extremely angry at this moment.

He felt he had never seen such an idiot, someone ten times dumber than the poorest, most despicable, and most stupid mortal he had ever fooled.

"You damn poor bastard! You deserve to eat dirt on the Kunxu First Layer for the rest of your life!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Bai Zhenzhen retorted, "What are you talking about? Yu Zi, if you have a chance to be in the top ten, why aren't you doing it...?"

Seeing Bai Zhenzhen's feigned nonchalance, Zhang Yu suddenly said, "You'll be played to death, A-Zhen."

"A-Zhen, if we all leave and you're left here alone, those people will kill you."

Bai Zhenzhen fell silent upon hearing this.

Especially during this period, she gained a deeper understanding of the Student Union, high school, and company methods, and after studying diligently with Zhang Yu Zhang Pianpian.

Bai Zhenzhen found that she could no longer accept her solitary journey as readily as she had in the past.

As Zhang Yu spoke, the things she had been deliberately ignoring and refusing to think about were laid bare before her.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

At that moment, Bai Zhenzhen felt as if she had suddenly fallen into an icy lake, surrounded by boundless darkness and cold, and she could only continue to sink, unable to see the direction of the future.

I'm so scared...

I'm so scared...

Bai Zhenzhen wanted to say something, and wanted to smile and tell Zhang Yu to be rational and go up to the Second Layer first.

But the fear of the future, the dread of the ever-encroaching darkness around her, made it impossible for her to speak those words calmly again.

"I'm sorry, Yu Zi..." Bai Zhenzhen lowered her head, her fists clenching tighter and tighter, her heart filled with bitterness as she said, "I'm so useless, I really... really can't bring myself to let you go like this."

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Pianpian, seemingly waiting for her answer.

But as Zhang Pianpian remained silent, the chill that Zhang Yu felt from the bottom of his heart grew deeper and deeper.

Clearly, the power of Ritual has been the driving force behind Zhang Yu's efforts to study hard, cultivate diligently, and gain admission to Ten Great Top Universities.

At this moment, Zhang Yu could not afford to give up such an opportunity to get into Ten Thousand Laws University.

"Please abide by the Ritual Agreement, strive to fulfill your wish, and do not deliberately slack off or procrastinate, 5."

"Please abide by the Ritual Agreement, strive to fulfill your wish, and do not deliberately slack off or procrastinate, 4."

As the countdown in his ears drew ever closer to its limit, Zhang Yu knew that his time was running out.

He could no longer hold on.

At that moment, he thought to himself, "I'm sorry, A-Zhen."

"But if I insist on staying... I'll just be killed by this Ritual anyway."

Not daring to look at Bai Zhenzhen beside him, Zhang Yu knew that he had to accept Zhang Pianpian's plan before the countdown was completely over.

The body's Qi and Blood surged and churned.

A surge of rage rose in his mind. "This wretched world, this garbage Kunxu world..."

Just as Zhang Yu was about to speak at the last moment, a sigh came from Zhang Pianpian's mouth.

Zhang Pianpian: "Sigh, I knew it. You two really are... Do you really have to go together?"

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen suddenly raised their heads and stared at Zhang Pianpian with wide eyes.

Sensing the expectation in their eyes, Zhang Pianpian said helplessly, "If I don't join the Heavenly Genius Class, it means that after I leave, I'll have to stay on the Kunxu First Layer, honestly finish three years of high school, take the college Gaokao, and get into university."

"Without my protection, if I want to avoid the encirclement of the rich and get into one of the top ten universities in the next two years... there's only one way I can think of."

"But this method is very difficult, extremely difficult. Even during my three years of high school, I didn't manage to do it successfully."

Zhang Pianpian's suggestion of "another method" stopped the countdown in Zhang Yu's mind, and made Zhang Yu eagerly ask, "What method?"

"The solution is..." Zhang Pianpian said slowly, "After I leave, before you graduate from high school, you should take the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam while you're still in school."

What?!

That's Foundation Establishment Certificate!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Why does your tone make it sound like you just passed the College English Test Band 4 4) before graduating high school? That's a Foundation Establishment Certificate, not some College English Test Band 4."

Many college students can't even pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate, and you expect high school students to take it?

Furthermore, can high school students Foundation Establishment Certificate exam?

How can I obtain the Foundation Establishment Certificate before graduating from high school?

Zhang Yu exclaimed in astonishment, "Foundation Establishment Certificate? Isn't that something only university students can take?"

Bai Zhenzhen, standing to the side, exclaimed in shock, "Can a high school student take the Foundation Establishment Certificate?"
