White Dragon High School.

Inside the Training Room.

With the room door completely closed, only Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu remained in the Training Room.

Looking at Yu Xinghan, who was brimming with fighting spirit, Zhang Yu asked curiously, "You called me here in such a hurry, it seems like it's not just about combat training?"

Yu Xinghan looked at Zhang Yu in front of her, and the image of their first meeting flashed through her mind.

Back then, I could easily surpass my opponents in Physical Competition, but unfortunately, I was suppressed by Li Xuelian, which prevented me from winning the Physical Competition.

Thinking of how Li Xuelian had suppressed him in Physical Competition, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but harden his fists.

However, he quickly shook his head, dismissing the thought, and continued looking at Zhang Yu.

During the recent combat training, he could feel that Zhang Yu had been making progress and was working hard to catch up with him.

But he never expected that, without him even realizing it, his opponent... seemed to be showing signs of surpassing him.

Especially considering the opponent's performance in the Foundation Establishment Exam, at least in the Gluttony Contest, his physical control was already superior to his.

In subsequent Martial Dao training, the opponent demonstrated an astonishing learning ability.

Thinking of this, Yu Xinghan said, "Recently, on the path of Immortal Dao, I have encountered a very important choice."

"Whether to face the challenge head-on or take a detour, to be honest, I've been very hesitant."

Zhang Yu understood and nodded, saying, "The hesitation between easy and difficult... ultimately boils down to wanting to face the challenge head-on, but being afraid of failure."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan smiled helplessly and said, "You're right, so I want to put some pressure on myself and try to get some determination from you."

"Today we will have a closed-door sparring session, and the outcome will not be revealed to the public."

"I only hope that Zhang Yu can show your full strength and fight me to the death."

Sensing the intense fighting spirit in Yu Xinghan's eyes, Zhang Yu could tell that... the other party had come seeking defeat.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This guy... through this Foundation Establishment Exam, he must have sensed that my actual combat strength might be above his, right?"

"So you want to use losing to me to make a certain decision?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yu Xinghan, I can feel your fighting spirit, I can feel your determination."

"But what's it to me?"

Going all out? A real fight to decide the winner? Zhang Yu didn't have the time for that. Whether he got injured or Yu Xinghan got injured, it would all be troublesome. Or if they damaged the flowers and plants in the Training Room, they would have to pay compensation.

Watching Zhang Yu turn and leave, Yu Xinghan had expected this. After spending time together, he had already realized that Zhang Yu, like himself, possessed formidable talent in the Immortal Dao of Immortality. He would never do anything that would lose money, and his methods of making money were also highly skilled.

Yu Xinghan immediately said, "Let's not pretend between us. If you can beat me, I'll give you ten thousand yuan."

Zhang Yu paused slightly and said, "You are Golden Core Disciple, and the top student in your grade at White Dragon High School."

"You want more money, right?" Yu Xinghan said, "Is 20,000 enough? This is all my personal savings, that's the most I can afford."

Sensing the determination in the other person's eyes, Zhang Yu knew it would be difficult to raise the price further, so he nodded and said, "As friends, twenty thousand it is, I'll give you a discount..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud thud echoed beneath Zhang Yu's feet, like the roar of cannons, and he shot towards Yu Xinghan.

"What a sneak attack!" Yu Xinghan roared, unleashing a Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm strike towards the oncoming Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu retaliated with the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, and the two clashed palm to palm, creating a violent Qi Explosion.

Yu Xinghan took a step back, looked at Zhang Yu remained motionless, and a fighting spirit ignited in his heart. "Continue!"

The two first clashed fiercely with the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm. Zhang Yu, relying on the protection of his Subdermal Gang Qi and the force-dissipating techniques of Martial Arts such as the Limitless Cloud Hand and the Imperishable Seal Art, immediately gained the upper hand.

Yu Xinghan suddenly unleashed his astonishing speed, charging forward and engaging Zhang Yu in close combat.

In close combat, fists, palms, elbows, shoulders, knees... every part of Yu Xinghan's body became a weapon, accompanied by the execution of various practical martial Martial Dao, rushing towards Zhang Yu like a storm.

Faced with Yu Xinghan's fierce and relentless attacks, Zhang Yu suddenly unleashed bursts of white, Formless Cloud Gang from his body, like vortexes formed from clouds and mist, deflecting all the attacks.

Limitless Cloud Hand Level 10 Push!

More than half a year has passed since Magic Competition obtained the Limitless Cloud Hand Cultivation Method.

So in recent weeks, Zhang Yu has gradually begun to unleash the Level 10 stance of this Cultivation Method without any reservations.

At this moment, he was surrounded by white mist, which turned into vortexes and used various techniques of attraction, displacement, deflection, absorption, and rebound. Not only did he neutralize Yu Xinghan's attacks one by one, but he also trembled the opponent's Qi and Blood and muscles, constantly damaging Yu Xinghan's body.

Yu Xinghan ignored everything and continued to bombard Zhang Yu, as if he wanted to use his true strength to tear through the clouds and reveal the blue sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two sides tore at each other like two giant beasts, each move and stance unleashing a thunderous roar.

After a fierce battle lasting more than half an hour, Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan, who was slowly retreating, and said, "Give up?"

As Yu Xinghan took deep breaths, he felt waves of soreness, numbness, and weakness coursing through his muscles and meridians, as if he had been repeatedly pounded with a giant iron hammer hundreds or thousands of times. He could no longer continue the fierce battle.

Looking at Zhang Yu, who was still shrouded in mist, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "This kid is too tough, isn't he?"

Recalling the fierce battle just now, Yu Xinghan felt that every time he struck the seemingly light Formless Cloud Gang Qi, it was as if he were striking pieces of incredibly tough steel bars.

Having finally shattered the cloud-like Gang Qi, Zhang Yu was able to quickly replenish his power, and his mana still showed no signs of exhaustion. The crucial point was that with each of Yu Xinghan's attacks... he was constantly being countered by the opponent's attacks, his Qi and Blood and muscles becoming fatigued, leaving him utterly powerless to fight.

Although he had long known that Zhang Yu's technique of using an opponent's force against them was extremely powerful, Yu Xinghan felt a strong sense of frustration and... humiliation when he tried his best but still failed.

"I was the one chosen by my master to become Golden Core Disciple."

"Having received so much investment and training from my master, and becoming a student at White Dragon High School, the result... was actually a loss to Zhang Yu?"

Seeing Yu Xinghan's dejected expression, Zhang Yu asked, "Um... are you alright?"

"If there's nothing else, could you please send me the money?"

Yu Xinghan glared at Zhang Yu, and as he activated the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Art, a surge of fierce fighting spirit was forcibly aroused within him.

He tried hard to remember the resentment, shame, and frustration he had just felt, and he would transform these negative emotions into pressure to face the challenges ahead.

He told himself, "Still being stubborn? You've already lost to Zhang Yu, what right do you have to be stubborn?"

At this moment, Yu Xinghan made a painful decision: he would use his Supreme Will to overcome his physical instincts and begin to rid himself of that desire from this day forward.

Yu Xinghan opened his phone and wrote: Day 1 of overcoming instinct.

Just as Yu Xinghan was transferring money to Zhang Yu, Fu Ji suddenly said, "Did this kid have a sterilization recovery surgery?"

"Didn't you notice that some details were different when he was fighting?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Your eyesight is amazing!"

But the next moment, he suddenly remembered that during the Foundation Establishment Exam, Yu Xinghan seemed to have been given surgery by the Orthodox God before he could continue his Martial Dao cultivation.

"Could it be that the Martial Arts Cultivation Method chose is something like the Yin-Yang Union Art? Is that why he needs surgery to recover before he can practice it?"

"Did he take advantage of the Foundation Establishment Exam to get a free recovery surgery?"

It has to be said that, based on Zhang Yu's understanding of Yu Xinghan, he felt that the other party was entirely capable of doing such a thing and gaining such an advantage.

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering these things, Fu Ji said again, "You can take this opportunity to introduce him to the Red Pagoda Group to sell seeds and earn a referral fee."

"Given Yu Xinghan's money-grubbing nature, he's very likely to agree to this."

"That director who was so interested in you yesterday will definitely also focus his attention on this Golden Core Disciple. After all, to be honest, the quality of this guy's seed is definitely superior to yours."

"You get rid of a hassle and earn a referral fee at the same time, isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he was somewhat worried about whether Yu Xinghan would be restricted by Spark True Person's contract.

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's hesitation, Fu Ji chuckled and said, "Targeting bloodlines and scheming against offspring are things only the Upper Level of Kunxu need to consider. They also have the strictest control over Bloodline Descendants; otherwise, the entire Kunxu would have been filled with the descendants of immortals long ago."

"The reason I held back for you in advance was because I was certain you could climb to the Kunxu Upper Level."

"As for those guys on the first floor, even a useless Golden Core like Spark True Person, why would they care about these things?"

"Once Yu Xinghan becomes more famous and his strength reaches a certain level, perhaps Spark True Person will take the initiative to perform a rehabilitative surgery on Yu Xinghan and then recruit him to sell protein."

Zhang Yu decided to give it a try, and looked at Yu Xinghan, asking, "Xing Han, I have an easy way to make money, would you like to give it a try?"

Yu Xinghan raised an eyebrow, wary. "Easy money? Is there really such a thing as easy money in this world?"

A few hours later.

Inside the Red Pagoda Building.

After completing her physical examination Yu Xinghan sat nervously in the Quiet Room.

Looking at the beautiful and attractive men and women flashing on the screen, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't show me True Person."

He thought to himself, "Now I have one more source of trouble than other students; I'm practically disabled."

"If I were to meet True Person and fall in love too early, wouldn't my life be ruined?"

A voice came from the screen. "Our company is committed to providing the most comfortable working environment for every seed provider. Would you like us to arrange a puppet for you?"

Yu Xinghan waved his hand, about to refuse, when he heard someone on the other end of the screen say, "The puppet's appearance can be freely adjusted..."

After a moment of silence, Yu Xinghan asked, "Can we upload photos? Will you adjust the settings based on the photos?"

A few minutes later, Yu Xinghan uploaded Li Xuelian's photo.

An hour later, a weary Yu Xinghan lay down on the ground and found that her mind was completely empty, and she no longer felt that uncomfortable feeling.

He tried practicing the Heavenly Gang Qi Skill and found that without the disturbance of distracting thoughts, the condensation of Pure Yang Gang Qi was a natural process, and his practice progressed by leaps and bounds.

After cultivating for an hour, he felt his desires rising again, so he summoned the puppet over once more.

He would make money when distracted and cultivate himself when distracted. By making money and cultivating at the same time, Yu Xinghan felt that he was becoming more and more energetic, but his body was being somewhat exhausted.

"Hahaha, such a wonderful thing actually exists in the world?"

"Although I'm a bit tired and have used up a lot of protein, with this much money to be made, I can just eat more Demon Beast powder to make up for it."
