Based on Wang Hai's many years of life experience, he often found that things he couldn't understand in Kunxu were actually caused by powerful forces stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Ordinary people, once they get involved in the machinations of those companies and powerful families, often end up with no good outcome.

It is precisely because of this principle that Wang Hai has remained just a Sports Teacher for decades.

But it was this principle that allowed him to have a job as a top-notch Sports Teacher decades later.

Wang Hai could understand Lin Hui's mentality of taking advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, as she was a new teacher who had only been working for a short time at Songyang High School. He had the same mentality when he was young.

But whether it's Lin Hui or Zhang Yu, Wang Hai doesn't think they'll have a good future.

"Alas, ordinary cultivators who get caught in the vortex between such powerful forces may initially make a lot of money, but in the end, they often end up bankrupt and have nothing left."

"Which of those guys up there would let someone take advantage of them for free, without expecting any benefits in return?"

Even after receiving the Dragon Elephant Formulation, Zhang Yu still found it hard to believe that Songyang High School would be so kind as to give the students medicine for free.

"This isn't part of the school culture at Songyang High School."

"Is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Only after seeing the students around him who had been given the medicine and were now energetically beginning their Body Tempering did Zhang Yu decide to try it himself, taking a little bit as well.

"Let's give it a try. Anyway, my Boundless Spring Autumn Zen is already Level 10, so even if there are any problems with this medicine, it should be able to expel them..."

Shortly after that small amount of the Dragon Elephant Formulation entered his body, Zhang Yu felt as if a flame was burning inside him, spreading throughout his entire body.

Zhang Yu's first thought was... this drug is incredibly potent, like dynamite exploding inside his body, making him want to dance wildly for three days and three nights.

My second impression was that the medicine was extremely poisonous.

After pushing the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen to Level 10, Zhang Yu's sensitivity to drug poisons and erysipelas had already reached an unprecedented peak.

At that moment, I could feel that the toxicity and Drug Residue in this medicine were ten times more potent than those in ordinary medicine.

"However, it is still under the control of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen."

However, Zhang Yu was unwilling to reveal his Boundless Spring Autumn Zen in public, so he followed the medicinal power and began to cultivate the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

Lin Hui watched this scene silently, a faint smile playing on her lips. She thought to herself, "This isn't just any ordinary Dragon Elephant Formulation; it's the Mad Dragon Formulation."

"Although its potency is several times stronger than that of the Dragon Elephant Formulation, and it can comprehensively enhance a person's energy, physical strength, and Qi and Blood, greatly increasing the efficiency of Body Tempering, it also has a major problem... namely, its addictive nature."

"Once you do it the first time, you can do it countless times."

"You can't stop."

At this moment, Lin Hui seemed to already see Zhang Yu becoming more and more addicted to the increased Body Tempering efficiency brought by the Mad Dragon Formulation after each use, then using more and more, and finally kneeling down in front of her begging for the preparation after realizing he was addicted.

As the bell rang, physical education class ended, and it was time to go home.

Fu Ji sighed, "First of all, you can't skip General Knowledge Class."

"Then you'll be limited to practicing only Basic Cultivation Method in your Martial Dao."

"And then they might give you such a potent drug during PE class."

"These methods are getting more and more outrageous."

Although Zhang Yu was glad that he could learn the school's Basic Cultivation Method for free, he could also sense that this move was not well-intentioned.

Later, in her conversation with Fu Ji, Fu Ji also thought so, "This is clearly a deliberate waste of your time. Are you sure you want to practice these Basic Cultivation Method?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "I have my own plans. Strengthening my foundation is a good thing for me."

Fu Ji didn't understand Zhang Yu's thoughts, and could only guess that it was related to the potential he had enhanced.

After the physical education class, Zhang Yu asked Bai Zhenzhen and the others, and they said that their feelings after receiving the drug were completely different from his, obviously they were not using the same drug.

"Were the Body Tempering medicines also switched?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is clearly aimed at me."

After hearing Zhang Yu's account, Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said, "I heard that these recent school reforms were all proposed by the Student Union. Could it be that Zhou Chechen is up to his old tricks again to retaliate against us?"

Zhang Yu sighed, "Zhou Chechen, that guy, he was well-behaved for a while, but now he's up to no good again."

Just before Zhang Yu left the school, Su Haifeng, accompanied by another teacher who appeared to be middle-aged, blocked Zhang Yu's way.

Su Haifeng said calmly, "Zhang Yu, the school values your training. After discovering that your Dao Arts skills were not good, they specially hired a teacher to tutor you in Dao Arts."

"From now on, you will study with Teacher Zhou for four hours after school every day before you leave."

"Remember, according to Songyang City's rules, the four hours after school are considered part of the normal high school teaching time. Since make-up classes have been arranged, you are not allowed to skip them."

Zhang Yu was speechless upon hearing this.

What kind of ridiculous rule is this? Four hours after school is considered normal teaching time? Is this even human?

Upon hearing the content of the tutoring session, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. "Dao Arts? Tutoring?" Isn't high school Dao Arts just Talisman Arts?

Isn't this system all about money driving progress and no money resulting in no achievements?

Do I need to take extra lessons for this?

When Zhang Yu was pulled into the classroom by Teacher Zhou and looked at the three hundred test papers that Teacher Zhou had handed out, he felt a deep sense of malice.

The Teacher Zhou, said calmly, "Do the test papers. Do them a hundred times, and the meaning will become clear."

"From now on, you'll come here every day to do practice tests. The more tests you do, the better your test-taking skills with Talisman Arts will become."

Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a strong sense of dissatisfaction rising in his heart. "This means I'll have to waste another 4 hours every day!"

Seeing the slight change in Zhang Yu's expression, Teacher Zhou's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. "What? You want to go against the school's normal teaching plan and get punished?"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and silently began working on the Talisman Arts test paper in front of him.

Just as Zhang Yu was working on the Talisman Arts test, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly kicked open the door to the Student Union office with a loud bang.

Seeing He Dayou behind the desk, Bai Zhenzhen coldly asked, "Was Zhang Yu's after-school Talisman Arts tutoring arranged by the Student Union?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

He Dayou quickly raised his hands and explained, "It has nothing to do with me; it was all Chairman Zheng's idea."

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "Where is Zhou Chechen?"

A moment later, Bai Zhenzhen was seen bursting with lightning as she shot into the high school students' Training Field like a bolt of lightning.

Looking at Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling, who were cultivating from afar, Bai Zhenzhen said coldly, "Zhou Chechen, immediately cancel Zhang Yu's tutoring, otherwise starting today, I will challenge you once a day, and beat you until you vomit every time I see you. Let's see how you still have the face to stay in school."

Zhou Chechen didn't even glance at Bai Zhenzhen, casually waving his hand and saying, "Send her away, don't let her interfere with our cultivation."

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen only felt a blur appear before her eyes, so fast that she only had time to cross her hands to block.

Bang!

Bai Zhenzhen shot out like a shooting star and landed outside the Training Field in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a young man strolled towards her leisurely and chuckled, "My name is Zhou Hao, and I'm currently in charge of Zhou Chechen's security."

"So, do you want me to beat you until you vomit all the way out, or do you want to leave on your own?"

With a soft whoosh, Zhou Hao instantly appeared in front of Bai Zhenzhen, looking at Bai Zhenzhen and saying, "By the way, I'm a college graduate from the 72 Lower Schools, majoring in security."

"With your high school level, you have absolutely no chance against me."

Bai Zhenzhen stared intently at Zhou Hao in front of her, sensing the aura of Qi Refining Peak, and knew that what he said was true.

She thought to herself, "The 72 Lower Schools?"

In addition to the top 10 universities, there are 36 Upper Schools, 72 Lower Schools, as well as Junior College and other miscellaneous schools.

The 72 Lower Schools" represent 72 third-tier universities. Although they are not considered prestigious among universities, they signify that the individuals have Qi Refining Peak for over ten years and have mastered countless level Level 10 Cultivation Method.

"A difference of more than ten years in cultivation time..." Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, knowing that even if she showed her full strength, she would still be no match for her opponent.

Watching Bai Zhenzhen leave decisively, Zhou Hao nodded. "That's right, a wise person knows when to yield."

"Zhou Chechen also asked me to ask you: if I gave you 1 million, would you be willing to betray Zhang Yu?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Bai Zhenzhen turned around abruptly and said matter-of-factly, "Just send me the money, and I'll go stab him twice right now."

Zhou Hao said calmly, "Sign the contract first, then transfer the money."

Bai Zhenzhen snorted coldly and left without looking back.

Just as she arrived at the small flower bed, intending to cultivate while waiting for Zhang Yu to finish class, she sensed through the Detection Ritual that a camera was pointed at her.

"School security cameras? No, that's not where the school security cameras are located..."

Sensing the light in her field of vision, Bai Zhenzhen frowned even more deeply. "Is someone secretly watching me? Is it one of Zhou Chechen's people?"

The thought that if the person monitoring her was also a college student of Zhou Hao's caliber, Bai Zhenzhen knew that getting rid of them would be extremely difficult.

"If they keep watching us... wouldn't we even be unable to go to the Dark Learning Gang?"

"This guy is gradually encroaching on our space for cultivation and making money."

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen once again felt a pressure she hadn't felt in a long time.

In particular, as Zhou Chechen unleashed his various methods, a pressure that was stronger, heavier, and more difficult to resist than the oppression he had previously exerted began to assail from all directions.

It was like a bottomless abyss, threatening to completely engulf her and Zhang Yu.
