Early November.

As the Monthly Exam approached once again, students at Ziyun High School rushed to and fro, and the sound of students reading aloud could be heard constantly from the restrooms.

Lian Tianji glanced at the empty space not far away and thought to himself, "Has the top student in the entire grade gone to find Zhang Yu again?"

He clenched his fists, thinking to himself, "They're not even letting us skip a single hour of lunch break?"

Inside the apartment outside Ziyun High School, Le Mulan, who had just finished exercising, was covered in sweat, her whole body radiating a layer of crystal-clear water, as if she had just come out of the swimming pool.

She looked at the puddle on the ground where her and Zhang Yu's sweat had mixed together, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

Le Mulan then asked, "Zhang Yu, are you no longer taking your medication?"

Zhang Yu looked at the data on the Feather Scroll.

Following the previous breakthrough in Physical Strength to Level 10, reaching the Qi Refining Limit.

His mana, which was already over 97, finally reached 100 units, officially reaching the Qi Refining Limit.

Reflecting on the arduous training of the past year, Zhang Yu sighed, "Well, ordinary medicine is no longer of any use to me."

After saying that, he continued practicing his newly purchased Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method — the Whale Tendon Nine Transformations.

Zhang Yu Yu's muscles expanded and contracted repeatedly, gradually becoming more and more elastic with each workout.

As Zhang Yu practiced this Cultivation Method, he thought to himself, "With each level of the Whale Tendon Nine Transformations I master, my muscles gain an extra layer of elasticity and flexibility. Not only can it expand my muscles and change my body shape, but it can also give my muscles a powerful ability to withstand blows."

At this moment, Zhang Yu had already cultivated the Whale Tendon Nine Transformations to the 5th level. He felt that once he exerted his strength, the muscles in his body seemed to turn into pieces of rubber, giving him a much greater ability to withstand blows from various fists, feet, and blunt weapons.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I cultivate this Cultivation Method to Level 10, according to the description of the Level 10 effect in the Electronic Manual, my physique should be able to instantly grow from its normal state to about 2.8 meters tall without any problem."

"At that time, the ability of my flesh and blood to withstand blows will be even more terrifying. It would probably take dozens of consecutive moves from an expert of the same level to even hurt me."

"This 1.1 million yuan secret manual is truly extraordinary."

Considering the price of the Whale Tendon Nine Transformations, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh at how useful money truly was in Kunxu.

"In Kunxu, ultimately, only money can make you strong."

"And with money, coupled with my terrifying potential, the speed of progress will be even faster."

If it weren't for wanting to earn more money, Zhang Yu wouldn't have taken on sparring with Le Mulan in addition to his own courses at the Dark Learning Gang.

After all, his magical power and physical body had already reached the Qi Refining Limit, and most medicines could no longer help his cultivation.

Hearing Zhang Yu's answer, Le Mulan's feelings became even more complicated.

She recalled the words her brother Le Jingchen, had said.

"According to what you said last time, you were asked to collect your sweat. Did you collect it?"

"Such clean sweat after taking the medicine is unusual; it might be some kind of new Immortal Dao Technique."

"I heard from the Purple Cloud headquarters in Immortal Capital that some powerful families in Immortal Capital have discovered a new Transformation Surgery that allows a high school student to have metabolic abilities far exceeding their own. They have been searching for the company behind this technology."

"The situation in Songyang City is changing rapidly. The Oasis Group's takeover is a done deal. If we can find out the origin of this technology, it will increase our Lineage's leverage..."

"If you have the chance, collect them and have them tested in the lab."

"Oh, and remember, don't let the other person know about this process."

Recalling her brother's words, Le Mulan thought to herself, "I really didn't expect... back then it was Zhang Yu who hesitated about whether to collect my sweat."

"Now it's my turn to collect his sweat."

Watching Zhang Yu run to the toilet, another sentence of her brother's flashed through Le Mulan's mind. "It would be even better if there was urine or other bodily fluids."

Le Mulan blushed and quickly shook her head, banishing the infuriating thought from her mind.

While Zhang Yu went to the restroom, she quickly took out a test tube from her bag and started collecting the sweat on the ground.

Time continued to fly by as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen continued their work and spiritual practice.

Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's now mid-November.

On this day, Zhang Yu was cultivating with Yu Xinghan at White Dragon High School.

While Yu Xinghan rested, Zhang Yu practiced his new Cultivation Method alone, the fifth Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method that could form Martial Dao Sacred Embryo — the Blood Exchange Great Art.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, his face, arms, and other parts of his body showing alternating shades of blue and red, constantly changing with the rapid metabolism of his blood.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Blood Exchange Great Art can accelerate blood metabolism, increase physical strength, purify flesh and blood, and deliver nutrients and energy to all parts of the body more quickly, thus improving the body's operational efficiency."

Zhang Yu could feel that as he practiced this Cultivation Method, he would be able to unleash his full physical power for a longer period of time.

"1.03 million is a bit expensive. If it weren't for my current high income, I really wouldn't be able to afford this kind of Martial Arts."

Just as Zhang Yu was silently Blood Exchange Great Art, Yu Xinghan was on her phone processing a reimbursement with her senior sister. "Senior sister, I finished my class with Zhang Yu, and it cost 30,000 yuan."

Yu Xinghan glanced at the 15,000 yuan he had spent on Zhang Yu, then at the 30,000 yuan Li Xuelian had transferred to him, and chuckled inwardly, "Hmph, the woman I've been playing with."

"Hiss, that feeling's coming again."

Yu Xinghan picked up the collection bottle and walked towards the door. "Zhang Yu, you practice on your own first, I need to work overtime."

Meanwhile, in another, more distant office.

Li Xuelian glanced at the 30,000 yuan she had paid and sent a message to Spark True Person: "Dad, Yu Xinghan spent another 100,000 yuan."

"Send me the money quickly. He's in his second year of high school, a crucial time when he needs money. Not a penny less."

Time flew by as Yu Xinghan and Li Xuelian kept racking up gold coins, and before they knew it, it was late November.

Inside the cafeteria of Songyang High School.

Zhang Yu looked at the newly produced synthetic meat in front of him, observing its shape, texture, and color, which were virtually indistinguishable from real meat. He took a bite, a look of astonishment on his face. "This synthetic meat from Oasis Group is amazing! It's practically like real meat."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Bai Zhenzhen, standing to the side, nodded repeatedly, taking large bites of the synthetic meat, and said, "It's cheap and delicious, who would still buy real meat after this?"

Just then, a student quietly walked up to their table and placed a small bowl of synthetic meat on it.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Bai Zhenzhen was about to call out to the other person, but the other person slipped away without turning back.

Meanwhile, more than a dozen servings of these side dishes had already been placed on the table.

Zhao Tianxing to the side, was filled with envy. He envied the other person for being able to eat so much, as well as for the other person's face and dignity at Songyang High School.

He thought to himself, "Ever since Bai Zhenzhen stood up for the first-year students and taught the bullying seniors a lesson, the entire first and second year of high school are now seeking protection from Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu."

Recalling the various rumors about the Wanxing Group being blocked and Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen having incredibly powerful backgrounds, Zhao Tianxing sighed inwardly, "Truly worthy of being called the emperor of Songyang High School."

"Within the Songyang High School area, the Clown Position can no longer be found beneath their feet."

"And as long as I stay close to them, I can also stay away from the Clown Position."

After lunch, Zhang Yu went to the rooftop of the cafeteria, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the Grievance Spirit Root within his body, absorbing the Grievance Qi within Songyang High School.

At this moment, he is using the impact of Grievance Qi to temper his Dao Heart.

Dao Heart: Level 7 (75.3%)

While the Grievance Qi was impacting and tempering his Dao Heart, Zhang Yu did not forget to circulate his magical power and continue to cultivate the sixth Expert Level Body Refining Cultivation Method that could form Martial Dao Sacred Embryo — the Five Qi Organ Refining Method.

He channeled his magical power through different meridians, using five different types of Special Magical Power to nourish his five internal organs, coordinating their power to complement and generate each other, making his Visceral Power stronger and stronger.

During this process of refining his internal organs, Zhang Yu's digestive and metabolic abilities will be continuously enhanced.

"Although I have the High School Sacred Body, my digestive and metabolic abilities are already strong enough. However, considering that the High School Sacred Body will eventually be replaced, the improvements brought by this Five Qi Organ Refining Method will be very useful at that time."

"Moreover, when I cultivate this Cultivation Method to Level 10, I will be able to mobilize the power of my internal organs and integrate it into my combat Cultivation Method during battle."

"Then even with the same level of physical strength, my explosive power will be a level stronger."

The next moment, the negative emotions brought on by the surge of Grievance Qi made Zhang Yu raise an eyebrow, forcing him to put aside all distractions and concentrate on his cultivation.

Time flew by as Zhang Yu focused on his cultivation, and it was early December, with only one month left until the final Foundation Establishment Exam.

Amidst the admiring gazes of the many students, Zhang Yu slowly walked out of the classroom where the Dark Learning Gang just held its class.

Black Crow stepped forward and reminded him, "Teacher Ma, thanks to your presence lately, we've attracted many of the older students from the Gold Class Gang."

"Furthermore, with Teacher Le's repeated Extraordinary Merit, the Gold Class Gang is not only at a disadvantage, but its internal situation is also teetering on the brink of collapse."

"However, the more this is the case, the fiercer their counterattack is now, and they are very likely to target you. You must be extra careful."

Zhang Yu replied somewhat absentmindedly, "It's mutually beneficial. Otherwise, my income wouldn't have increased so much in the past two months."

At the same time, Zhang Yu's gaze was sweeping over the contents of the Feather Scroll Chain Law Diagram.

After he pushed the Five Qi Organ Refining Method to Level 10, the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo finally gathered six Cultivation Method and unlocked the First Layer of its effects.

As he replaced each of the six Cultivation Method onto the Chain Law Diagram, the original High School Sacred Body disappeared, replaced by:

Beginner - Martial Dao Sacred Embryo (6/6): The Sacred Fetus is initially formed, and its resistance to blows and ability to heal itself from external injuries have increased dramatically.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A surge? It doesn't say how much it will increase. It seems I'll have to try it out slowly."

Zhang Yu was walking on a road in the suburbs, he suddenly heard Fu Ji say, "The network signal is suddenly not very good."

It seems someone's come looking for trouble for you.
