Just as Zhang Yu was contacting the Three Great High Schools...

Inside the office of Songyang High School.

Lan Ling said with resentment, "... If this matter is just left like this, the Student Union lose all its prestige. How can we do Student Union work in the future?"

Zhou Chechen remained silent, pondering the events of the day and the reactions of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

"What makes these two so confident and fearless?"

"Is it simply reckless audacity, or is there someone else behind Zhang Pianpian?"

Listening to Lan Ling's words, he thought that perhaps he could cancel some of the other party's benefits, such as disqualifying them from the competition, and use this method to test the waters again.

Just as Zhou Chechen was thinking this, his phone suddenly vibrated slightly.

Zhou Chechen opened the message and found it was from Le Jingchen.

Seeing Zhou Chechen's strange expression, Lan Ling asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Chechen frowned and said, "He said he's already taken care of the things Le Jingchen asked us to do."

Lan Ling asked doubtfully, "Is it done?"

Zhou Chechen continued, "Zhang Yu personally talked to him, accepted Le Jingchen's money, and agreed not to participate in the remaining Dao Heart Competition for the first year of high school."

Lan Ling exclaimed in surprise, "What? He personally went to talk to Le Jingchen?"

"How did he get involved with Le Jingchen?"

Just then, Zhou Chechen's phone vibrated again, and his expression changed even more drastically upon seeing the message he received this time.

He asked incredulously, "My bank account has been frozen?"

"A tax audit is required?"

Zhou Chechen was extremely confident that there were absolutely no problems with his taxes, so why was he suddenly being investigated?

Considering that we just dealt with Zhang Yu today, and then there was the private deal between Le Jingchen and Zhang Yu, and now look at the matter of the bank account being temporarily frozen...

Lan Ling nearby, said, "President, is there a problem with some process in the company? We should only need to pay the outstanding taxes..."

"Pay back taxes? Pay back taxes my foot!" Zhou Chechen said with a gloomy face, "This is clearly someone warning us. I knew Zhang Yu wasn't as simple as he seems."

Lan Ling said, "Could it be the tax bureau...?"

Zhou Chechen analyzed, "How could they possibly be the tax bureau, hiding their true intentions like this?"

"And right after we took action, they contacted Le Jingchen on one hand and froze my bank accounts on the other... I'm afraid we've been targeted for a long time."

Lan Ling's gaze sharpened. "Isn't this a threat? I'm going to find Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen right now..."

"You've turned your brain into muscles from all that Body Tempering, what's the rush?" Zhou Chechen said angrily, "Zhang Yu is just a dog, what's the use of pinning him down? Besides, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. The fact that they dare to warn us like this shows that they are not afraid of us at all."

"The most urgent task is to find out who is behind Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen. Once we know the answer, we can decide whether to tolerate them or retaliate."

"I will talk to my father about this and personally arrange for family members to investigate."

"Don't rush, just pretend nothing happened."

Inside Songyang High School.

Zhang Yu looked at the message he received on his phone and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The above is a message from the contact information Zhang Pianpian left him, sent by the captain of the Songyang City Patrol Team Captain: The Talisman Arts has been sent out, and the account has been successfully frozen.

Zhang Yu: Thank you.

The other party replied: It's no big deal. You can come over to my place sometime.

In the following days, the Student Union, the second-year students, and Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling all remained silent, as if nothing had happened on the Training Field.

Zhang Yu also breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that he shouldn't have to worry about the other party for the time being.

"The next step is quite simple."

"Continue to cultivate with all your might, and transform all this wealth into real power."

So in the days that followed, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued their rapid progress on the path to Immortal Dao, spending the balance in their accounts at a speed they had never experienced before.

Protected Area.

Incubation Room.

Zhang Yu was Breathing Spiritual Opportunity.

The Great Sun Magical Power circulated within his body.

The next moment, magma-like magical power suddenly broke through the tiny meridians in Zhang Yu's body, and he broke through another bottleneck in his magical power cultivation.

Mana has exceeded 70 units.

Feeling the surge of magical power flowing through him after the breakthrough, Zhang Yu revealed a satisfied smile.

Meanwhile, Xiong Wenwu, standing before him, was also practicing his Breath Circulation Cultivation Method.

Zhang Yu said, "Thank you for what happened a few days ago."

Xiong Wenwu said calmly, "It's just a small matter. You've spent so much money here, it's nothing for me to help you out."

"Besides, I'm just telling the truth. If you and Bai Zhenzhen don't participate, my brothers will have a better chance of getting into the top ten."

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Why haven't I seen An An today? Where is she?"

Xiong Wenwu shook his head and sighed, "An An is comforting the others."

"Because she took a pay cut."

Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Huh? She got a pay cut, why is she comforting others?"

Xiong Wenwu slowly said, "Because she is the best employee in the Protected Area, she was asked to take the lead in reducing her salary, which means that everyone else will have to take a pay cut one after another." "The manager asked her to do some ideological work with the other employees, to understand the company's difficulties, and to share the hardships with the company."

Zhang Yu could only offer a consolation. "That's how it is in companies..."

Xiong Wenwu said angrily, "She is clearly the most dedicated and company-spirited employee in the entire Protected Area, so why does she earn the least? Why does she eat the worst? And after the company's performance declined, she was asked to take the lead in reducing her salary?"

"What's the difference between this and the student who gets their benefits cut even though they're the top student in the class?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu fell silent for a moment, unsure of what to say to comfort the other person.

Xiong Wenwu continued, "All of this shows... there's something wrong with the company; it failed to reward truly outstanding employees."

Xiong Wenwu could sense that something was definitely wrong with the company. Not only were various bases and factories being acquired, but there was also some chaos in the Upper Level management.

"But soon..." Xiong Wenwu thought to himself, "I'll soon have enough money to help An An pay off her Breeding Debt."

"Then she'll be able to leave here."

White Dragon High School.

Song Hailong is fighting Bai Zhenzhen.

But facing Bai Zhenzhen's ghostly Movement Method, he found it increasingly difficult to hit her.

Song Hailong could only remain unchanged amidst all changes, like a reef resisting Bai Zhenzhen's storm-like attacks, striving to find her weakness.

But Bai Zhenzhen was like a bolt of lightning, always managing to dart into his blind spots, forcing him to constantly adjust his position and try to catch a glimpse of her.

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen's figure flashed and she stopped more than ten meters away.

Song Hailong frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhenzhen glanced at the White Dragon Person outside the door and said, "Hey you guys, you've been watching us practice for a long time, haven't you?"

Chu Qiuhe and the others immediately knelt down, indicating that they would definitely watch from their knees from now on.

Bai Zhenzhen said, "That's not what I meant."

"I mean, watching our training... costs money."

Song Hailong was about to say forget it.

But then Zhang Yu, who was not far away, chimed in, "Yeah, can someone of our caliber watch for free? We should charge for it."

Yu Xinghan nodded and said, "Then let's collect the entrance fee."

A short while later, the Training Room room was packed with people.

A large group of White Dragon Person stood on the periphery, craning their necks to watch the four people fighting.

As for the kneeling positions further forward, where you can see more clearly, those require an extra fee.

Before leaving White Dragon High School that day, Yu Xinghan said to Zhang Yu, "There's some progress on the matter of the Spirit Realm. I'll make the arrangements for you in a few days."

End of July.

There are less than two weeks left until the first round of exams for the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen made rapid progress on Immortal Dao path to immortality. With their money flowing away at an unprecedented rate and various resources being consumed in large quantities, their progress was truly remarkable.

Zhang Yu's magical power broke through to 81.5, and his Physical Strength reached 7.52. These two fundamental aspects have completely surpassed the average level of the White Dragon Person when they first entered their senior year of high school.

Only the progress of Dao Heart is still very slow, currently reaching level 5 (85%).

Zhang Yu's bank balance also dropped to just over 200,000 yuan.

That very night, in the apartment.

Just as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued their diligent cultivation...

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly said, "Yu Zi, do you feel like my belly seems to have gotten bigger?"

Zhang Yu looked up and said, "It seems a little bit?"

Bai Zhenzhen patted her lower abdomen. "I feel like it's protruding a little, didn't you notice?"

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Yu was suddenly startled to see that Bai Zhenzhen had developed bluish lines on her lower abdomen.

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, "Why has my Spirit Root shrunk?"

In Bai Zhenzhen's perception, the True Spirit Root, which had been steadily standing in her Dantian Qi Sea, was still Breathing Spiritual Opportunity and nourishing her flesh and blood a moment ago.

The next moment, however, it gradually receded, transforming into a blue seed in her perception.

After Bai Zhenzhen told Zhang Yu about this change, Fu Ji said, "It has evolved."

Fu Ji explained, "I told you long ago, Bai Zhenzhen's Spirit Root is an Evolutionary Spirit Root."

"However... in the past years, before Bai Zhenzhen embarked on the path of Immortal Dao, this Spirit Root was still in its infancy, only changing slightly according to Bai Zhenzhen's choices."

"But ever since she truly embarked on the Immortal Dao after entering high school, her Spirit Root has been frequently stimulated, and the changes are greater than all the changes in the past years combined."

"Especially after we switched with each other, each of your Level 10 Cultivation Method provided an even stronger stimulus to this Spirit Root, and today it has finally evolved."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu also shared his conjectures about the evolution of Spirit Root with Bai Zhenzhen.

Then Zhang Yu said, "Try to sense what your evolved True Spirit Root can do, and see if it has any new abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen immediately focused all her attention on her True Spirit Root.

As she focused her mind, a sense of etherealness gradually spread throughout her body.
