Layers Upon Layers of Shackles (Thanks to 'It's Summer Evening' for the Alliance Leader Reward)

Inside the Demonstration Class classroom.

Su Haifeng stood on the podium. As the grade director of Songyang High School, he was a man so powerful that even a dog passing by would glance at his book. His presence made the students tense and their concentration incredibly high.

Su Haifeng's speech at this moment caused many students to have mixed feelings, and some were even at a loss.

"... Recently, some students have shown a lack of discipline, especially with frequent instances of unexcused absences. This not only seriously affects your own studies but also disrupts the learning atmosphere of the entire class and even the school."

"The school has zero tolerance for this kind of behavior and will investigate and deal with it strictly. Once a student is found to be absent from class without a valid reason, they will be given the appropriate punishment."

"Don't underestimate this punishment. One punishment means an indelible mark on your student record, and three punishments will result in expulsion."

"Some students might think, 'So what if I get expelled? I can just go to another school.' But I want to warn you: once you're expelled from school, you'll be blacklisted by the education system."

"Once you're on this blacklist, you won't be able to take the Gaokao, and no high school or university will accept you."

"This means your path to Immortal Dao is thus interrupted..."

Qian Shen raised his hand and asked, "Do we have to attend every single General Knowledge Class?"

Su Haifeng replied matter-of-factly, "That's natural. Any absence from a class will be treated as truancy, including General Knowledge Class."

Zhang Yu, behind his desk, felt Su Haifeng's gaze sweeping over him as he spoke, and sensed that Su Haifeng's words seemed to be directed at him.

Looking at Zhang Yu, Su Haifeng thought to himself, "The Patrol Team has finally shifted their attention away from us. The most urgent task now is to seize this opportunity to capture the Evil God behind Zhang Yu, so that we can enhance our master's status."

Zhang Yu, as a high school student, even if he is a so-called academic star... is not a threat in Su Haifeng's eyes. He can easily suppress Zhang Yu by his own means.

"The crux of the problem is always the Evil God behind the other side."

"We must not reveal our intentions, otherwise, given the Evil God's caution, he might abandon Zhang Yu and flee."

"We need to let Zhou Chechen gradually pressure him, force him, and compel him to actively seek help from the Evil God..."

Thinking of this, Su Haifeng merely glanced at Zhang Yu without saying anything more.

As for the change in school rules and its impact on students' grades, Su Haifeng didn't care at all, let alone the Zhou Family elders behind him.

After all, these Key High School students, who are already considered the pride of heaven in the eyes of many, are just resources that emerge in large numbers every year to Su Haifeng and his classmates.

Some are domesticated, some are wild, some will provide value through labor, and some will provide value through their organs.

As long as they can achieve their goal of elevating the status of the Evil God to meet the tide of the times, what does sacrificing the interests of some students matter?

In the next math class, all the students stayed obediently in the classroom.

When the math teacher entered the classroom, he looked somewhat uncomfortably at the students sitting attentively, all of them present.

However, after speaking for a while, he felt in high spirits and had a sense of triumph.

Meanwhile, teachers were patrolling the corridor, constantly checking on the classroom situation.

Feeling the piercing, electric light in Su Haifeng's eyes, the students were on edge, not daring to do anything out of line.

"What a hassle."

"Just go to math class, isn't this a complete waste of time?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fortunately, I can still practice my inner cultivation techniques and Breath Circulation."

He glanced at Bai Zhenzhen, who was holding Power Bank not far away, and knew that she was also making the most of her time to Breath Circulation.

Zhang Yu then thought to himself, "But for the other courses, given my good relationship with the teachers, I should be able to have a little more freedom, right?"

On the Training Field.

Martial Dao arts instructor Lei Jun called Zhang Yu out alone.

Zhang Yu asked, "Teacher, can I find a place to practice alone during the next Martial Dao class?"

Hearing Zhang Yu's question, Lei Jun sighed helplessly, "It won't work, Zhang Yu. Things are really tight lately. If you skip class, not only will you get punished, but I'll get the same punishment, and my performance bonus and salary will be deducted."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu frowned slightly. He didn't want to practice many of his Cultivation Method in front of his classmates and teachers.

"However, there are advantages as well. To improve grades, the school has created a special subsidy program for outstanding students like you."

"For example, during Martial Dao classes, to help you solidify your foundation and strengthen your fundamentals, the school asked me to teach you various Basic Cultivation Method for free..."

Lei Jun felt somewhat guilty when he said those words.

Having many years of experience as a high school Martial Dao teacher, he knows very well that one should not practice too many Basic Cultivation Method.

The practice of cultivating many Basic Cultivation Method by one person to solidify the foundation and strengthen the root is something that only ancient sects emphasized, something that was done when the cultivation period was planned for ten or twenty years, and it has long been eliminated by the times.

In today's high school years, every second counts, and there are countless better and faster ways to solidify one's foundation than Basic Cultivation Method. Practicing too many Basic Cultivation Method is a waste of time.

"Zhou Chechen is making Zhang Yu practice Basic Cultivation Method Martial Dao day, which is tantamount to him wasting his time and squandering his youth."

Despite this, Lei Jun ultimately did not stop it.

He thought to himself, "After all, Zhou Chechen directly persuaded the Principal and the school board members this time."

"This suggests that Zhou Chechen may have used the Zhou Family's power to deal with Zhang Yu."

"Faced with behemoths like the Sixteen Great Clans, I'm just an ordinary worker, and Zhang Yu is merely a student. What power do we have to resist?"

As for transferring schools, Lei Jun sighed inwardly. It all depended on Songyang High School being willing to release him; just dealing with student registration and compensation alone would be a huge hassle. Then, considering the school's investment in the student, they could easily do some accounting, demand a high price for compensation, and which high school would be willing to take him on? Lei Jun had heard that during the previous competition, White Dragon's coach had invited Zhang Yu, but Zhou Chechen had declared he wouldn't release him. He heard that Zhang Yu later stopped participating in any competitions, so it was even less likely that any high school would be willing to spend a large sum to take him on.

Having worked and cultivated in Songyang City for so long, Lei Jun knew all too well the weight of the Zhou Family; they were simply not someone that ordinary students or teachers could contend with.

"If I go against them, I'm afraid I'll become a middle-aged person who gets laid off, start looking for work all over the place, and eventually be unable to find a formal job because of my age, and end up doing delivery or takeout work."

"Then, under 360-degree surveillance, they work themselves to the bone, their daily toilet breaks, meals, and even their steps are strictly monitored. They wear professional smiles like face masks, and are trampled underfoot by customers, security guards, merchants, and station managers. They are scum who can't pay off their loans even if they work more than 200 hours of overtime every month..."

"If you're lucky, you can work hard to earn money while using it to maintain your cultivation, and eventually work safely until the end of your life."

"If you're unlucky, like accidentally injuring someone while delivering food, or getting beaten by a security guard, you'll end up unable to repay your loans due to insufficient working hours, and will have to keep selling your flesh and blood."

"Watching helplessly as I slowly reverted to being just an ordinary old man, enduring the humiliation and abuse of this former Immortal Cultivation by other mortals, and finally dying a stench in some sewer..."

Just thinking about it filled Lei Jun with immense fear.

"No... After so many years of cultivation, how can I end up like this?"

Conversely, if Lei Jun does as Zhou Chechen instructs, he will not only avoid being promoted, but Lei Jun will also help him pay off his student loans.

Thinking of this, Lei Jun sighed deeply and dared not look Zhang Yu in the eye.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Although Lei Jun, as a teacher, appreciated Zhang Yu's talent and achievements, as a Kunxu Person, he knew that the money in his hands was the most important thing.

Lei Jun thought to himself, "I'm sorry, Zhang Yu. But since you can't get into the top ten anyway, what difference does it make if your grades are better or worse? You might as well help me out."

However, in order to be considerate of the other party, Lei Jun still intends to give them some freedom of choice.

He continued speaking to Zhang Yu, "As long as Songyang High School has the authority to teach Basic Cultivation Method, you can choose whichever one you want. I'll teach you whichever one you choose and then have the school grant you the right to use it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "What other Basic Cultivation Method can we learn in high school?"

Lei Jun said with perfect familiarity, "Besides the ones I've already taught you, there are also High School Basic Saber Technique, High School Basic Footwork, High School Basic Digestion Method, High School Basic Medication Method..."

As Lei Jun fluently recited the names of various Basic Cultivation Method, Zhang Yu simply took out his phone and wrote them down one by one. Then, he logged onto a shopping website and searched for information on each Cultivation Method.

"Hmm, this High School Basic Footwork can be used to complete the High School Sacred Body in the Chain Law Diagram."

"There are also High School Basic Digestion Method, High School Basic Medication Method..."

"Not bad, not bad. Songyang High School truly lives up to its reputation Key High School. The High School Basic Skill it includes are very comprehensive, enough for me to assemble a complete set of High School Sacred Body."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at Lei Jun with excitement and said, "Then I'll start by learning the High School Basic Digestion Method."

Looking at the other party's spirited appearance, Lei Jun sighed inwardly but said nothing. Instead, he began to guide the other party in this Basic Cultivation Method step by step.

This High School Basic Digestion Method uses various basic movements and the circulation Cultivation Method magical energy to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and enhance digestion and absorption.

After two consecutive Martial Dao lessons, Lei Jun watched as Zhang Yu's body emitted long, rumbling sounds like rolling thunder, and thought to himself, "He's already learned it? That's fast."

"Unfortunately, all this talent will have to be used for endless practice of Basic Cultivation Method..."

Zhang Yu looked at his Feather Scroll with satisfaction; the High School Basic Digestion Method on it had reached Level 3 (5/30).

Although his Cultivation Method had reached Level 3, Zhang Yu did not reveal it. Instead, he repeatedly pretended to have just learned it, since this kind of practice would improve his Cultivation Method level in the same way.

After the Martial Dao class ended, the students in the Demonstration Class went to the gymnasium together to prepare for their physical education class.

But this time, in addition to Wang Hai, there was another Sports Teacher in the gymnasium.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Wang Hai said, "Classmates, from now on, your physical education classes in the second year of high school will be taught by Ms. Lin Hui, who is sitting next to me. Ms. Lin Hui is very skilled, so you should learn from her."

The Sports Teacher standing next to Wang Hai, who was 2.5 meters tall and 2 meters wide, and whose gender was indistinguishable from his appearance, smiled slightly and said, "Hello, students. The school attaches great importance to the physical education curriculum of the Demonstration Class."

"To further improve everyone's physical education performance, the school has decided to distribute one dose of Dragon Elephant Formulation free of charge during every physical education class from now on."

Upon hearing this, the students cheered. Even Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, thinking to themselves, "How could this lousy Songyang High School actually do something like this?"

Wang Hai stood aside, silently watching Lin Hui distribute the Dragon Elephant Formulation. The students happily took and applied the medicine, and he silently recalled the things Zhou Chechen had told him earlier.

"Should we add addictive drugs to Zhang Yu's Dragon Elephant Formulation?"

Originally, Zhou Chechen intended to have Wang Hai do this, and the conditions he offered were very generous, a reward that would make Wang Hai extremely tempted.

Furthermore, Zhang Yu has been confirmed not to be Golden Core Disciple, and Zhang Pianpian, who was signed behind the scenes, has left the Kunxu First Layer and has not been heard from since. Meanwhile, Zhou Chechen has mobilized the Zhou Family's resources to begin his operation...

All of this seemed to be reminding Wang Hai that he should agree.

But Wang Hai ultimately chose to neither oppose, support, nor participate.

Because he doesn't understand it.

He couldn't understand why Zhang Yu had improved so quickly, nor could he figure out if Zhang Yu had powerful backers, and he couldn't understand whether Zhou Chechen was targeting Zhang Yu out of spite or for some other purpose...

As a top-notch sports coach who has served at Songyang High School for decades, Wang Hai has always adhered to one principle.

He won't participate in things he doesn't understand, no matter how much money he could make.
