The Dark Tutoring World's Most Profitable Direction

Zhang Yu looked at the newly purchased "Grievance Fiend Art" on his phone, flipping through the contents of the Cultivation Method.

This top-tier, Expert-level Cultivation Method, which requires Grievance Qi energy to cultivate, had seen its price plummet, and Zhang Yu has now bought it for 500,000.

After carefully reading through it, Zhang Yu decided to practice his Body Tempering according to the methods described.

He touched the name tag hanging on his chest, which read "Frontline Employee" in large characters, constantly drawing in the surging Grievance Qi in the air.

This badge-like object was the External Spirit Root —the Vengeful Grievance Spirit Root— that Zhou Chechen had sent to deliver.

The reason it's shaped like an employee badge is supposedly because it's easier for it to store up Grievance Qi.

At this moment, as Zhang Yu channeled his magic power into the Grievance Spirit Root, the entire world underwent a tremendous change in his perception.

Just moments ago, Songyang High School was peaceful and serene, but now, in his perception, wisps of black energy were rising into the sky, and various distorted and struggling faces filled the black energy, emitting howls like ghosts and wolves.

Is this what Grievance Qi is?

Zhang Yu knew that Grievance Qi was a remnant of negative human spirit, commonly found in Cemetery, schools, and companies in Kunxu.

However, because there are enough living people in schools and companies, they are constantly generating Grievance Qi, far exceeding the amount of Grievance Qi in Cemetery.

However, the advantage of Cemetery is that the Grievance Qi is pure and ancient, and its quality is far superior to that of schools and companies. Therefore, the Grievance Qi of the dead has a wider range of uses and sells for a higher price.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to Fu Ji, if a family has enough Ancestor buried for a long time, they can make a lot of money just by renting out the Cemetery as cultivation sites every month."

"Alas, it's true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. It's a pity that the original Zhang Yu couldn't even afford to pay for the disposal of a corpse, let alone buy Cemetery."

He controlled the Grievance Spirit Root and took a deep breath, feeling the wisps of Grievance Qi flowing into his mouth and nose.

In an instant, waves of intense anger, humiliation, regret, and despair surged through Zhang Yu's mind, making him feel the strong negative emotions that many academic underachievers experience when facing lower rankings, declining grades, or being insulted.

Zhang Yu quickly activated the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra" to resist the onslaught of negative emotions, and began to refine these streams of Grievance Qi according to the methods in the Grievance Fiend Art".

According to the cultivation method of the Grievance Fiend Art, one must first gather Grievance Qi, then refine away the specific emotions within it, leaving behind a pure Sha Qi. Then, one must imitate the method of Corpse Refinement to temper one's own flesh and blood, ultimately refining a body of Copper Armor Corpse Skin that is impervious to swords and spears.

It took Zhang Yu several minutes to stumble through the first round of practice, and he felt a slight coolness on the palm-sized patch of skin on his chest.

He thought to himself, "If I follow the proper steps, it will probably take a year and a half to master this Cultivation Method."

"Fortunately, with my efforts, Feather Scroll was able to quickly master this Cultivation Method."

Zhang Yu looked up and saw that the level of the Grievance Fiend Art displayed on the Feather Scroll had changed from Level 0 (0/1) to Level 1 (2/10).

The ultimate effect of the High School Sacred Body is that when Zhang Yu practices any Qi Refining Period Cultivation Method, one practice is equivalent to three.

This is precisely the reason why he is confident that he can spend the next three months frantically cultivating his Cultivation Method and gradually replenishing his Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.

A dozen minutes later, as he completed the practice of the Grievance Fiend Art, a thunderbolt seemed to flash through Zhang Yu's mind, and images of tempering his chest skin with Grievance Qi flashed by.

At the same time, he felt as if something living was growing rapidly under the skin of his chest, tightly wrapping his chest like a thin film.

"The Level 1 of the Grievance Fiend Art has been completed."

Zhang Yu slowly recalled the cultivation memories in his mind, feeling the changes in his body, and thought to himself, "Each Layer 1 of the Grievance Fiend Art requires tempering the skin and flesh of different parts of the body. Finally, at the Level 10, one will cultivate a body of Copper Armor Corpse Skin, like a layer of close-fitting inner armor, greatly increasing the body's protective power."

After briefly sensing the energy, Zhang Yu resumed his cultivation, intending to seize the time to advance this Grievance Fiend Art to Level 10.

Time flew by as Zhang Yu continued his cultivation, and before he knew it, it was time to leave school and night had fallen.

Under the night sky, 999 silver needles flashed with electricity, piercing into different parts of Bai Zhenzhen's body from top to bottom.

As Bai Zhenzhen activated her Thunderclap True Body, electric sparks could be seen dancing back and forth on the silver needles, constantly stimulating the nerves and muscles throughout her body.

Bai Zhenzhen could feel that, in addition to the increase in Physical Strength, her nerves, which had not grown for a long time, were now undergoing a new round of growth under the effect of the Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set, just like withered trees coming back to life. This helped her to gain a deeper, more detailed, and faster grasp on her body.

If the original Thunderclap True Body was merely a second-rate Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method, then through the deduction of the True Spirit Root, the enhancement of Thunder Magical Power, and the assistance of the current Profound Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set, it has achieved the effects of a top-tier Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method.

Suddenly, the lightning began to weaken.

A spirit's voice came from the needle case. "Low battery, please charge it in time."

Having temporarily retrieved the 999 silver needles, Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu beside her and said, "Yu Zi, are you getting ready to go to the Dark Learning Gang?"

Zhang Yu, who was practicing the Grievance Fiend Art nearby, slowly opened his eyes, a hint of Sha Qi flashing in them.

After a day of training, he had advanced the Grievance Fiend Art to level 8 (15/90).

At this moment, Zhang Yu could feel that, except for his face, an extra layer of thin film had grown under the skin of his entire body. Normally, this film wouldn't hinder his movement, but whenever he exerted his energy, it would act like a layer of armor protecting his body. Fu Ji, standing beside him, noticed the changes in Zhang Yu, especially the faint, intricate lines on his exposed arms. She exclaimed inwardly, "This guy's Grievance Fiend Art has improved so quickly!"

"I have a feeling that he has almost mastered this Cultivation Method in just one day."

"As expected, Zhang Yu's talent has become even more terrifying after his potential was unleashed again last time."

"Hehehe, very good, very good. Now that I've passed the high school Foundation Establishment Certificate exam and reached the Second Layer, the sky's the limit and the sea's the limit."

Zhang Yu slowly stood up, wiggled his dry, stiff skin, nodded, and said, "Let's go."

However, before leaving, Bai Zhenzhen returned the Mystic Thunder Electro-Acupuncture Needle Set to its charging station.

Once outside the school gate, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen moved swiftly, each using their movement Movement Method to change their appearance and then sped towards the Dark Learning Gang's headquarters.

When Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrived outside the park as tutors Ma Yunteng and Le Mulan.

To their surprise, the two found the Xianyun Corporation's security team moving in and out of the brightly lit park, with constables assisting as they escorted out members of the Dark Learning Gang.

One of the gang's tutors, covered in dirt and bruises, cried out, "This is my first time tutoring here! It really is my first time!"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

A constable standing nearby sneered, "Do your family members know you're doing something illegal here?"

The teacher said with a mournful face, "It has nothing to do with my family. They trusted me completely and had no idea I would do something like this."

"I was momentarily blinded by greed and wanted to make some quick money. I thought it wouldn't matter if I had one or two more sessions."

"I really know I was wrong. I'm sorry to my parents. They didn't bring me into this world so I could illegally tutor people."

"Please, just let me go. I really don't have any money to pay back..."

Another veteran constable standing nearby warned, "The names, identities, and motives of these Dark Tutoring World are all made up. They don't tell the truth a single word. You won't believe a thing they say. You'll learn as you see more of them."

From afar, Zhang Yu, hiding in the shadows, exclaimed in surprise, "The Dark Learning Gang has been wiped out?"

Bai Zhenzhen said helplessly, "What do we do now? Should we find another gang and start from scratch?"

Fu Ji reminded her, "Don't you have the contact information for that middleman from the Dark Learning Gang, the one called Black Crow?"

"Contact him and see."

"The Dark Learning Gang is quite large. Just because one park was taken down doesn't mean the gang is gone."

Zhang Yu also remembered that he had added a friend in the Kun God World, which allowed him to contact the middleman named Black Crow.

So Zhang Yu opened the Kun God World on his phone and soon contacted Black Crow.

After some conversation, Zhang Yu learned that the Dark Tutoring World in Songyang City had been rife with problems lately.

In particular, the infighting between the Dark Learning Gang" and the Gold Class Gang" has become increasingly fierce, with various incidents of stealing curriculum outlines, burning textbooks, assassinating Gold Medal Teacher, and reporting tutoring centers emerging one after another.

According to Zhang Yu, the two gangs are backed by Deep Sea Education Group and Immortal Charm Education Group, respectively.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The fact that the Dark Learning Gang and the Gold Class Gang are fighting so fiercely suggests that the conflict between the two behemoths behind them, the Deep Sea Corporation and the Xianyun Corporation, has also escalated."

For some reason, Zhang Yu had a feeling that, starting this year, companies throughout Songyang City seemed to be showing signs of impatience and escalating competition.

Temporarily suppressing his speculations about the situation in Songyang, Zhang Yu focused his attention on the situation of the Dark Learning Gang.

Zhang Yu said, "According to Black Crow, with the fighting between the two gangs, many of the Gold Medal Teacher in the Dark Learning Gang have fallen. So they've been gathering experts to give lectures or participate in gang battles."

Upon hearing this Bai Zhenzhen replied, "If we're talking about teaching, what kind of courses are profitable these days? Can the Cultivation Method I know earn me a lot of money?"

"I feel like just tutoring high school students or construction workers isn't earning me enough money quickly enough."

Zhang Yu asked Black Crow, who sent him a dynamic poster.

The poster depicts a group of elderly people with white hair diligently studying and practicing. One of them, a sprightly old man, says in a clear voice, "At 90 years old, I have elderly parents to care for and young children to raise. This is the age for adventure and struggle."

"I want to take my 130-year-old parents to eat pre-cooked meals, I want to enroll my 60-year-old son in tutoring classes, I want to rent a sewer-side apartment near the subway for my 30-year-old grandson, and I want my 5-year-old great-granddaughter to attend a top-tier kindergarten. How can I stop learning? How can I let myself be eliminated from the workplace?"

"In ancient times, there was a 100-year-old prime minister who recovered lost territories, a 500-year-old demon who transformed into human form, and a 1000-year-old woman who married an immortal."

The old man in the poster clenched his fist and shouted with fighting spirit, "Fight! It's never too late!"
