Zhang Yu's Connections (Thanks to 'sfqk' for the Silver Alliance Master reward

Without waiting for Le Mulan's reply, Zhang Yu sent messages to Xiong Wenwu and Yu Xinghan as well.

The messages they sent were all pretty much the same: they all wanted to contact someone influential at the other school to ask for money for the competition he and Bai Zhenzhen wouldn't be participating in.

Meanwhile, inside Ziyun High School on the other side.

Le Jingchen looked at the message his sister sent and smiled, saying, "So you actually came to negotiate the price yourself?"

"It seems Zhou Chechen has lost control of him."

After thinking for a moment, Le Jingchen didn't contact Zhang Yu immediately. Instead, he asked Le Mulan, "What do you think of Zhang Yu?"

Le Mulan was slightly taken aback when she saw the message from her brother, and replied, "What aspect are you asking about?"

Le Jingchen: How has his skill improved since the Physical Competition ended?

Le Jingchen: If I participate in the upcoming Dao Heart Competition, is it possible to win a prize?

Le Jingchen: I know you've been asking him to be your sparring partner lately, so you should be able to gauge his condition, right?

Looking at the message from Le Jingchen, Le Mulan recalled the scenes of her training with Zhang Yu.

A strong physique, powerful muscles, skillful techniques... all of these made Le Mulan feel that the money she spent was well worth it.

But she Dao Ge was asking.

After all, what follows is Dao Heart Competition.

"The Dao Heart's words..."

Le Mulan immediately thought of Zhang Yu squatting on the ground, looking at the medicine on the ground after each training session.

She thought to herself, "If it were any other high school student, they probably would have already drunk their fill of the potion, right?"

So Le Mulan replied: Zhang Yu is someone who can resist expensive temptations.

Le Jingchen asked: Are there any specific examples?

Le Mulan: He could resist licking the sweat that dripped from me on the ground...

After listening to Le Mulan's account of what happened during training, Le Jingchen exclaimed: How could you do such a thing?!

Le Jingchen: You've taken quite a few drugs from the lab. What if Zhang Yu collects your sweat and sells it to other pharmaceutical companies for drug analysis?

Le Mulan: It was my oversight. Next time, I will make him clean up all the sweat on the ground in front of me.

Le Jingchen: That's more like it.

Le Mulan: In short, what I want to say is that Zhang Yu's willpower is indeed very strong. Even if Bai Zhenzhen is weaker than him, she is not much worse.

Le Mulan: If they participate in the Dao Heart Competition, they'll probably get a good ranking. If we could just pay some money to get them to not participate, that would be a good deal.

Le Mulan put away her phone and suddenly recalled the time during the Martial Arts Competition when she offered 400,000 yuan to buy Zhang Yu's withdrawal, but he refused.

Le Mulan thought to herself, "In the end, you were indeed changed after all?"

Within the Protected Area of Red Pagoda.

A huge Demon Beast was lying on its side on the ground, with a hole in its head, as if some kind of giant beast had ripped it open.

A burly-looking, shirtless man was lying on the ground, tearing at the flesh of Demon Beast.

He opened his blood-stained mouth and looked at Xiong Wenwu beside him, saying, "What do you want with me?"

Xiong Wenwu recounted the matter Zhang Yu had mentioned.

The man who was devouring the Demon Beast asked, "I remember this Zhang Yu... You competed against him, right? What did you think? Can he still get a ranking in the upcoming Dao Heart Competition?"

Xiong Wenwu recalled Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's situation, the first thing that came to his mind was their recent transaction with him regarding the rental of his Incubation Room, and how Bai Zhenzhen asked An An to buy Demon Beast Meat for nutritional supplements, and how An An then subsidized him with the money.

Before coming here, Xiong Wenwu had already thought about this matter.

"Selling out their competition spots? These two must be pretty short on cash, huh?"

"However, given their status, it's indeed better for them to just take the money directly than to participate in the competition."

Xiong Wenwu also thought of something else... that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen might be short of money because they had spent a lot of money on him.

In particular, he heard from An An that these two guys have been spending increasingly longer periods of time cultivating in the Incubation Room lately.

"If they were richer, they would probably patronize my business more, right?"

Many thoughts raced through his mind, but in reality, it was all over in an instant. Xiong Wenwu respectfully replied, "Although I haven't had much contact with these two people, I could sense it on the field: their will is as strong as iron, Dao Heart as firm as steel."

"After all, those who can rise from the ranks of the poor can't be too weak-willed."

"Judging from their control during Martial Competition and Physical Competition, their Dao Heart cannot be weak."

"If those two were to participate in the Dao Heart Competition, they would indeed have a very good chance of winning a prize."

"If we can spend seven or eight hundred thousand to prevent them from participating, I think it would be a very worthwhile thing."

White Dragon High School.

Yu Xinghan knocked on the door and said, "Senior, why aren't you replying to my messages?"

A voice came from inside. "Stop bothering me!"

"I've had enough of this crappy Student Union!"

"Our most important tasks as high school students are studying, grades, and competitions!"

"Damn it... all this trivial, petty stuff bothers me all day long, how am I supposed to study properly?!"

Yu Xinghan said, "But shouldn't this be your responsibility?"

The other party retorted angrily, "That's because the previous president pushed all sorts of messy things onto me."

"But everyone from the previous year has left, and I'm the highest-ranking person in the school now!" "I don't want to stay in this Student Union for even a day longer."

"From now until my university interviews, I will focus entirely on my self-improvement."

"If you have any problems, go find Song Hailong from the Song Family."

"He has already taken over as the Student Union Vice President."

So next, Yu Xinghan called Song Hailong over and explained the situation to him.

Yu Xinghan: "Little Song, that's how it is."

Upon hearing this, Song Hailong said calmly, "It's not just the upcoming Dao Heart Competition, is it? Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will probably do the same thing in all future competitions."

"They're different from us after all. They have no chance of getting into the top ten anyway. What good are all the competition rankings or how impressive their resumes are? They might as well exchange them for some money."

As the ace son of the Song Family, Song Hailong had heard of the dissatisfaction of some wealthy people who felt that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were taking away their place in the competition.

Song Hailong said calmly, "I just feel it's a pity that I'll never have the chance to beat them in competitions again."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Yu Xinghan: "Stop rambling, just tell me how much money you plan to approve for them?"

"You know the strength of these two guys right now. If they participated in the Dao Heart Competition, they would definitely get a ranking."

"I think spending 1 million to prevent them from participating is a very worthwhile price."

Song Hailong gave Yu Xinghan a strange look, feeling that the other party was being a little too enthusiastic about this matter.

Yu Xinghan coughed and said, "I'm also doing this for the sake of White Dragon High School's performance. Among the Three Great High Schools, we are the strongest. If Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen withdraw from the competition, it's highly likely that one of our people will take the ranking."

Song Hailong frowned. He had just become the Student Union Vice President and this was the first time he had dealt with such a matter. "Isn't 1 million too much?"

Yu Xinghan quickly said, "What do you mean 'too much'? After they leave, your competition ranking will rise by at least one or two places, right? Do you think spending 1 million to improve your ranking like that is too much?"

"Besides, it's not our money that's being spent; it's the School Committee's money."

Yu Xinghan pressed down on Song Hailong's shoulder and said in a threatening tone, "We've been fighting with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen for so long, who in the school knows them better than us?"

"This is my opinion as the top student in the first year of high school. I hope you will consider it carefully."

Seeing Yu Xinghan's expression, Song Hailong thought to himself, "With Zhang Yu no longer participating, Yu Xinghan will probably be able to secure first place, right? He really values his ranking in this competition."

But then I thought about it again, and since this was related to my university interview, it was normal for Yu Xinghan to be so concerned.

After seeing Song Hailong nod, Yu Xinghan smiled slightly and left gracefully.

Turning the corner, Yu Xinghan took out her phone and texted Zhang Yu: "Sold for 1 million."

Zhang Yu: [Thumbs up] Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well.

Songyang High School.

Looking at Yu Xinghan's reply, Fu Ji laughed and said, "I'm telling you, this kid will definitely take a kickback, right? With my many years of experience traversing Kunxu, how could I be wrong in my judgment of people?"

Zhang Yu then looked at the other replies, "Purple Cloud agreed to pay 600,000 after tax, Red Pagoda 700,000 after tax, and White Dragon 1 million after tax. As expected of the Three Great High Schools, they are indeed generous, paying the taxes in advance for me."

"That adds up to 2.3 million. Subtract the 100,000 kickback given to Yu Xinghan, and that leaves 2.2 million."

"If A-Zhen and I split it equally, that's 1.1 million each after tax."

Upon realizing this number, Zhang Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I had been spending money recklessly on the Immortal Dao, and my bank balance was dwindling until I only had a little over 300,000 left.

Now with this additional 1.1 million, we'll have enough to last for a while.

"At least until the First Round Foundation Establishment Exam next month, there shouldn't be any problems."

Then Zhang Yu sighed regretfully, "Unfortunately, we definitely won't be able to make any money in the upcoming Dao Arts Competition."

"The next competition won't start until next year."

Although Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen wanted to sell all the competitions in high school at once, the Three Great High Schools were unwilling to accept them.

On the one hand, the amount of money involved is too large and the process is too long; on the other hand, many people do not believe that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will be as competitive next year or the year after.

Then Zhang Yu opened another contact number on the phone.

Bai Zhenzhen said from the side, "Yu Zi, are you going to use the Talisman Arts left by your Godmother?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling, those two guys, have suffered a setback this time, they definitely won't let it go."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded. "These two guys, in terms of actual strength, are indeed still a bit behind them."

"Even if they come to challenge us to sparring every day, it's still a hassle and will disturb our studies."

Zhang Yu said, "So I was thinking maybe I could bluff them again."

Recalling what Zhou Chechen had said earlier that day, Zhang Yu continued, "This person seems to suspect that we have someone else protecting us, and he's being very cautious."

"If we scare him, maybe we can buy him some more time."

The next moment, Zhang Yu had already pulled out the screenshot of the Freezing Talisman on his phone.

The Freezing Talisman, one of the Talisman Arts Zhang Pianpian left for Zhang Yu, can freeze other people's bank accounts. The higher the other person's Faith Level, the shorter the freeze time.
