When Zhang Yu first arrived in Kunxu, he was quite wary about lending money.

This includes the influence of the original owner's experiences and memories, as well as Zhang Yu's wariness of lending money from his previous life.

But after living in Kunxu for more than half a year and seeing so many people borrowing and lending money, his mindset has gradually changed.

"Pilling medicine to Body Tempering, borrowing money to make money..." Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "I'm becoming more and more assimilated by Kunxu, more and more like Kunxu Native."

But Zhang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. People have to adapt to their environment. If you want to climb up in Kunxu, you have to adapt to the rules of Kunxu.

Body Tempering requires using medicine! Immortal Cultivation requires borrowing money!

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu had borrowed money from multiple platforms.

Now Zhang Yu makes his loan repayments on time every month, his bank statements show a surge, and his grades have improved significantly. The amount he can borrow, even if it's just bits and pieces, has increased by another million yuan.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu received 1 million yuan.

"Including the original monthly payment of 15,000 yuan, the monthly interest payment will be 40,000 yuan. By the time I'm in my senior year of high school, I'll have to pay off all the principal of 1.7 million yuan from various platforms."

"If you add the 5,000 yuan interest-free loan, the total monthly repayment is 45,000 yuan."

Looking at the cold balance of over 1.3 million in his account, Zhang Yu slowly exhaled. He felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders, but also a surge of energy and a drive to get back and make a big splash.

Bai Zhenzhen, who had previously borrowed less than Zhang Yu, was now going all out and borrowed another 900,000 in one go. She was equally motivated, waiting to integrate the 900,000 into her body and promote her cultivation.

More than ten hours later, the two finally returned to Songyang City after a series of transfers, and began another round of assault on the path to Immortal Dao.

Time flew by as the two charged forward.

Inside the apartment.

Zhang Yu took off his usual Weighted Suit and took out his newly bought ' Cultivation Skin '.

This Cultivation Skin, I don't know what kind of Immortal Dao Technique was used, looks like a thin layer of Human Skin, and feels almost the same as real Human Skin.

Seeing its lifelike appearance, Zhang Yu said, "Could this really be made from the skin of some master?"

Based on Zhang Yu's understanding of Kunxu, such a thing was not impossible.

Fu Ji scoffed, "With the little money you've spent, you think you can buy genuine leather?"

"This is obviously synthetic leather. It won't fit 100% properly; at most, it'll fit 99%."

As Zhang Yu put it on, he felt the Cultivation Skin naturally adhere to his body, as if it had become a new layer of skin.

At the same time, this new skin also brought a strong sense of constraint to his body, forcing him to constantly exert his strength to resist it, as if he were constantly exercising the muscles all over his body.

He couldn't sense any incompatibility; he simply felt it was much better than his original Weighted Suit.

A moment later, Zhang Yu opened his phone, tapped the management software for the Cultivation Skin, and chose to close it.

The feeling of constraint that had been binding his entire body suddenly disappeared, making Zhang Yu unable to even feel the existence of this Cultivation Skin.

"Breathability, sweating, and Breath Circulation are not affected."

"As expected of Cultivation Skin worth 100,000 yuan, this way I can add an extra training move at any time."

"It can be turned off at any time when not needed."

Protected Area.

Incubation Room.

The little panda An An was hugging its big tail, watching Bai Zhenzhen Breath Circulation, and thought to itself that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had taken at least twice as long these past few days.

"I wonder if they've doubled the time allotted for extra lessons in both Wenwu?"

Although An An felt a pang of heartache for the company's asset loss when she saw the other party taking advantage of Red Pagoda's Spiritual Energy.

But she tried hard to keep it from showing.

After all, for someone who hadn't even finished elementary school, high school students were already considered exceptional talents.

When facing competition athletes like Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen from Key High School, especially after learning about their achievements, An An always felt inferior and ashamed whenever she stood in front of them.

Because she deeply understood that compared to Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu, she was utterly illiterate.

Bai Zhenzhen's consistently cold demeanor made An An feel that the other woman probably looked down on her.

However, when Bai Zhenzhen was leaving this time, An An quickly waved her short limbs and hopped to block Bai Zhenzhen's way. "This is for you."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the piece of Demon Beast Meat tied with a bow and asked curiously, "Give it to me?"

An An said, "Thank you for tutoring Xiong Wenwu."

Seeing the slightly nervous look in An An's eyes, Bai Zhenzhen accepted the Demon Beast Meat and said, "You often have leftover Demon Beast Meat that you can't sell, right?"

"How about you sell it to me privately at a lower price? I'm actually planning to buy more Demon Beast Meat for nutritional supplements."

An An asked anxiously, "Are you asking me to betray the company's interests again?"

Bai Zhenzhen chuckled, rubbed An An's ear, and said, "You don't want Xiong Wenwu's grades to drop, do you? Sell him to me cheaper."

"If you're not comfortable using the money you earn yourself, you can give it to Xiong Wenwu as a subsidy."

An An sighed inwardly, feeling that she had gradually gone from being the best employee to a mole in the company, and that she felt unworthy of her 2,000 yuan salary.

Inside the apartment.

As Zhang Yu turned on the newly purchased searchlights, the entire room gradually changed from bright to White-hot, until it was so bright that nothing could be seen, and even Zhang Yu's figure was completely swallowed up.

As Zhang Yu felt the Great Sun Qi Sea operating wildly and passively, and as the Great Sun Magical Power within his body surged violently like magma, he began cultivating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi Lower Cultivator this environment.

Late June.

Inside the apartment.

Inside a cardboard box placed in the corner of the room were various medicines that Le Mulan had brought to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Le Mulan casually tossed her tattered clothes into the nearby trash can.

Because she had sweated so much today, her skin had become quite dry. While changing her clothes, she said, "You've gotten much stronger lately."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "I have to thank you for your medicine. I always feel so energetic after using it."

Le Mulan glanced at Zhang Yu, who was staring at the medicine on the ground, and reminded him, "Oral administration of the Bone and Flesh Enhancing Elixir is the most effective."

Zhang Yu ultimately couldn't do it. He suddenly stood up, seized the time to absorb the medicine, and began cultivating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

A hint of surprise flashed in Le Mulan's eyes. As she walked out of the room, she couldn't help but say, "Next time, if you want me to administer any medication beforehand, you can tell me in advance."

After returning to Ziyun High School, Le Mulan drank several glasses of water because she had sweated a lot.

After finishing another cup, Le Mulan said to Lian Tianji beside her, "Go get me another cup of water."

"Next time I leave school, remember to prepare a bucket of water for me."

Lian Tianji nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "What kind of combat training is this that makes me sweat so much?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Songyang High School.

Inside the office of the rented Spirit Root.

Administrator Wei Xin looked at Zhang Yu in surprise and said, "How long do you want to borrow it?"

Zhang Yu retorted, "What kind of discount can I get if I subscribe for a month?"

Although Bai Zhenzhen's True Spirit Root could be used in rotation, and even if the True Spirit Root had some residual effects, it was ultimately shared between the two of them.

With a large sum of money in hand, Zhang Yu's first thought was to rent a Muscle Growth Spiritual Root. While Bai Zhenzhen used her Spirit Root Muscle Growth Spiritual Root, he would use his own, allowing both of them to cultivate using Spirit Root 24 hours a day.

Administrator Wei Xin nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining, and said, "Of course, there's a discount. If you want to Muscle Growth Spiritual Root, the monthly subscription can be reduced to 2 million."

For a moment, Zhang Yu fell silent, realizing he had been somewhat abrupt.

"Let's do it by the hour, it feels more flexible that way."

End of June.

White Dragon High School.

Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu left a trail of afterimages as they engaged in a fierce battle.

Sensing the ferocious power in his opponent's attack, Yu Xinghan asked, "You've learned the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm?"

Zhang Yu unleashed a palm strike accompanied by the roar of dragons and the bellow of elephants, shouting, "Because of you, I spent a whole 200,000 on this set of Cultivation Method. Shouldn't you give me some financial assistance?"

Yu Xinghan returned the favor with a palm strike, laughing heartily, "Blame it on your own talent for martial arts being too strong and too expensive."

Yu Xinghan, who had reviewed Zhang Yu's intelligence, had actually guessed this long ago: when he used a purely physical martial art like the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, Zhang Yu would likely learn it.

But that was precisely his purpose.

Because when the opponent uses the same martial arts as him, it is easier for him to use his Third Eye to absorb and copy Zhang Yu's physical strength and skills.

But he didn't want to point out that Zhang Yu had done this, because Zhang Yu would definitely ask him for more money.

"Fortunately... fortunately, he learned this Cultivation Method on his own during my training, so I had no choice but to buy it."

"Hehe, I've saved some money again."

However, considering Zhang Yu's impoverished state and the fact that he still spent 200,000, Yu Xinghan felt a pang of embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Zhang Yu, but in the Immortal Path Competition, it's either you who spends more money or I who spend more money."

"If you want to go further on the path of Immortal Dao, you have no choice but to stand firm and not give an inch."

"I absolutely must pass the Foundation Establishment Exam next year! To achieve this goal, I will stop at nothing to save money! I need money!"

As for Zhang Yu's participation in the Foundation Establishment Exam, Yu Xinghan didn't take it to heart at all.

In Yu Xinghan's view, the other party was limited by funds, and the gap between them and him would only widen next year, making them no match for him in the exam.

On the other side, Zhang Yu was performing the Level 1 Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm while glancing at the Level 3 (5/30) Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm in the Feather Scroll, feeling the new boost this martial art gave to his skills.

Because their usual training time is filled with the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, they can only practice other Martial Arts during actual combat training.

So Zhang Yu simply bought the right to use the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, and practiced this Martial Arts while conducting actual combat training with Yu Xinghan.

He thought to himself, "Sorry, Yu Xinghan... For me, whether I use the Level 1 Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm or my highest-level Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, the training effect is about the same."

"But I cannot reveal my terrifying talent."

"I can only practice with you using the Level 1 Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, so I'll have to sacrifice some of your training quality."

"After all, in order to pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate this year, I must use any means necessary and seize every opportunity to become stronger."

Time passed by as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen spent money and cultivated recklessly.

It's already early July.

There is only one and a half months left until the First Round Foundation Establishment Exam in mid-August.

Meanwhile, at Songyang High School on this day...

Lan Ling led a group of second-year high school students toward the first-year high school campus.

He thought to himself, "Zhang Pianpian has been gone for half a month, and it seems that the contracts on Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen haven't been transferred to anyone else by Zhang Pianpian."

"So you're just leaving them on the first floor like that?"

"Let's test the waters and see if Zhang Pianpian makes any arrangements for these two poor bastards."

Lan Ling planned to teach the two a lesson during the Practical Combat Class, just like he had done a few months ago.

The thought of how the two of them had been so arrogant and defiant, daring to challenge him, a wealthy senior, despite being poor and junior, made Lan Ling feel uneasy.

Of course, his actions this time were not solely based on his own ideas.

Lan Ling thought of Zhou Chechen and Purple Cloud Le Jingchen, who had contacted her this morning.

Lan Ling thought to himself, "After all, having two poor bastards who can't even get into the top ten consistently ranking in the competition... is bound to cause a lot of complaints."
