Fleeting Happy Days

Listening to Zhang Pianpian's words, Bai Zhenzhen nodded and said, "I understand. It's like how underachievers in Songyang High School have to go through university based on their rankings, right? Those with higher rankings can humiliate those with lower rankings, and the lower the ranking, the more they're considered social scum."

Bai Zhenzhen's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "University is a world where rankings reign supreme!"

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly and said, "You grasp things very quickly. Once you enter university, you should also try to improve your ranking as soon as possible."

Then Zhang Pianpian pointed to the halo behind her head and explained, "As for this halo, it's the symbol of Student Union Cadre, a unique Spirit Realm fluctuation belonging to the Student Union!"

You could also consider it a special effect; you can see it directly on the screen now, but only those with the Eye Skeleton can see it up there!

"By the way, do you guys have the eye massage technique yet?"

Zhang Yu said, "I've got it. A-Zhen plans to buy a basic spare one to take with her..."

So Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen told Zhang Pianpian everything they had learned during this period, as well as the guidance they received from Spark True Person!

After listening, Zhang Pianpian nodded slightly. "Spark True Person's guidance to you is very good, and your choice of major is indeed reasonable. I think you can definitely take this path!"

The two sides then had another exchange, mainly Zhang Pianpian giving them tips on what preparations to make before going to university and teaching them some university rules!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, only three months remain until the Gaokao!

On this day, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had just arrived at the Training Field in the city center when they felt a killing intent that was as real as a physical force sweeping over them, frantically impacting their consciousness!

Then everything went black, and the two of them were blasted away by an explosion!

At the same time, Spark True Person's voice finally reached their ears!

"Starting today, I will ambush you anytime, anywhere!"

"Especially Zhang Yu!" Spark True Person glanced at Zhang Yu, who had already gotten up and was jumping around, and said calmly, "You can take a beating so well, it would be a waste of your talent if I didn't use some serious force!"

Zhang Yu's face darkened. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh because he had such a Golden Core diligently guiding him!

Just then, Zhang Yu's phone vibrated slightly, and a message popped up: Foundation Establishment cultivator Yu Xinghan has entered within 100 meters of you! Welcome to follow Yu Xinghan on various platforms; he streams his cultivation every night at 10 PM!

Zhang Yu looked up and saw that the people who came were Yu Xinghan, who had already obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate, and Li Xuelian, the daughter of Spark True Person!

Spark True Person said, "Xing Han, you will practice with Zhang Yu today!"

"Xue Lian, you will guide Bai Zhenzhen!"

I'm ready to ambush any one of you at any moment!

Spark True Person looked at the group and thought to himself, "Let's cultivate together for a while and get to know each other better!"

Yu Xinghan walked up to Zhang Yu, his gaze towards Zhang Yu somewhat complicated.

He thought to himself, "I was the one who came first, I was the one who was taken in as a disciple by Old Deng first, but now I'm being called here to be Zhang Yu Yu's sparring partner!"

It would be impossible for Yu Xinghan to feel no envy or jealousy at all!

But he also understood that those with good grades deserved preferential treatment in this world, and if he were Spark True Person, he would definitely value Zhang Yu even more!

"All I can do is continue to catch up with them through my own efforts!"

Maybe the other party can earn more money by shooting once than I could by shooting ten times!

"Then I'll shoot twenty times, thirty times, and catch up with them through hard work."

The next moment, Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, under the guidance of Spark True Person, clashed together, hindering each other's muscle energy and enhancing their respective Body Tempering effects!

Seeing this, Spark True Person nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Zhang Yu and Xing Han will be entering Ten Thousand Laws University together, and as Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Civil Engineering Department, they will probably be traveling and working together for the next few years!"

"While they're getting used to Body Tempering together now, they can continue Body Tempering together on the Second Layer a month later, becoming each other's Body Tempering equipment, saving money and increasing efficiency!"

Even if I'm not by their side then, they can still help each other and improve together!

Just then, Spark True Person frowned. "Yu Xinghan, why are you always looking at the Xue Lian?"

"Zhang Yu, focus too!"

A deafening boom echoed through the air as a tangible Martial Dao Intent swept towards the two, causing them to shudder and desperately resist by circulating their inner energy!

Spark True Person turned his head and glanced at Li Xuelian and Bai Zhenzhen, who were Body Tempering together, and thought to himself, "These two kids are constantly selling goods to the Red Pagoda, and they're still going strong?"

One month before the Gaokao!

Within the Protected Area!

A sudden gust of wind and clouds rose above the Spirit Vein, and a massive amount of Spiritual Energy materialized into a visible substance, transforming into a gigantic tornado that descended into the depths of the Spirit Vein, seemingly connecting heaven and earth!

Zhang Yu sat cross-legged at the point where the Spirit Vein landed, and a huge vortex of magical power around him constantly swallowed and exhaled the Spiritual Energy that fell from the sky, circulated it into his own magical power, and finally refined it into his own magical power in his dantian!

Azure Vortex Qi Skill Level 20, Mana 261.9!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Although the total duration of my Breath Circulation is not long, each time Breath Circulation within my Spirit Vein, and the increase in my mana is rapid. My Azure Vortex Qi Skill has finally reached Level 20!"

"In this instant, the Abandoned Cow Self-Sacrifice Art, the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen, and the Azure Vortex Qi Skill have all reached the Foundation Establishment Limit!"

"As long as I continue my cultivation step by step, it shouldn't be a problem to hone my Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength to the maximum level of Foundation Establishment!"

But Zhang Yu knew that relying on these three Cultivation Method to slowly cultivate was simply not his style!

Moreover, after going up two levels, he might have to face Wang Yin's hostility. In order to better compete with the geniuses above, he must become stronger and cultivate faster!

"It's a pity you can't buy any useful Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method on the first floor. I'll have to figure that out when I get to university!"

Thinking about the Gaokao in a month, and then going up to the Second Layer to start university life, Zhang Yu felt a mix of anticipation, nervousness, and unease!

And why hasn't Fu Ji woken up yet? More than half a year has passed, how long is she going to sleep this time?

Shaking his head to temporarily suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhang Yu began to experience the effects of the Level 20 Azure Vortex Qi Skill!

The Level 20 Azure Vortex Qi Skill can accelerate the operation of the mana vortex and improve the efficiency of Spiritual Energy absorption and mana refinement as the Breath Circulation continues!

According to Zhang Yu's estimate, this acceleration will reach its limit after about an hour of continuous Breath Circulation, which can increase Breath Circulation efficiency by 30%!

"Not bad!" Zhang Yu nodded to himself. This way, his magical power would be even higher when he went to university!

"However, from now on, each time you come to the Spirit Vein, you can start renting a longer time!"

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen's voice came. "Yu Zi, it's almost time, let's go!"

The two figures shot out, their Foundation Establishment level bodies creating a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the ticket gate of the Protected Area!

An An greeted them, "Finished your cultivation?"

Thanks to Zhang Yu's help, An An became the ticket gate's mascot, which not only increased her salary but also reduced her working hours!

Looking at the other's increasingly fluffy tail and its chubby head, Zhang Yu waved and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow!"

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's figures flashed in the setting sun as they sped along the highway towards home!

Zhao Tianxing's voice came through the phone. "[Laughing and crying] I'm doing pretty well lately. After all, I've become Soul Cultivator, so I don't need to pay for food anymore. It's just the internet and electricity bills that are the problem!"

The next moment, Zhao Tianxing suddenly disconnected!

Seeing the message that the other user's account had been suspended, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, recharged the account with 100 yuan, and then joked, "Old Zhao, what kind of internet do you usually use? This internet fee is a bit much!"

Zhao Tianxing said helplessly, "Soul Cultivator use commercial internet and pay for it, and the price will increase in stages, so the internet fee is easy to spend quickly! But I can work now, and I'll pay you back for the internet fee when I earn money!"

After exchanging a few words with the other person, Zhang Yu put away his phone and felt a weight behind him. It was Bai Zhenzhen who jumped onto his back and hugged his neck!

"Yu Zi, it's been so long since I rode you! Let me ride you today!"

Listening to what the other person was saying, Zhang Yu could sense that Bai Zhenzhen was a little different today!

Bai Zhenzhen leaned against Zhang Yu's back, listening to the powerful sounds of Zhang Yu muscles working up and down, and said with a smile, "Yu Zi, three years ago I never imagined I could actually make it into the top ten!"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, who would have thought!"

The past six months have been the most fulfilling and peaceful time for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen since they entered high school!

Without pressure from the wealthy or rivals, I steadily improved myself step by step, with the help of many people, feeling myself getting closer and closer to my goal!

Zhang Yu even felt a little bit of happiness even in Kunxu!

At this moment, watching the setting sun bathe Songyang City in a golden glow, Zhang Yu remarked with emotion, "Everyone is getting better and better!"

"We will get better and better!"

"It's not just about making it into the top ten! We'll also take the master's and Doctoral Entrance Exam exams, break through to the Golden Core together, then to the Nascent Soul Nascent Soul, and finally enter the Myriad Laws Sect together!" Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile, as if she had already envisioned the bright future of the two of them climbing Kunxu together, and an unprecedented warmth rose in her heart!

Back at the apartment, the two had dinner together. Suddenly, Bai Zhenzhen received a message that the Eye Skeleton arrived!

When Bai Zhenzhen arrived at the courier station across the street to pick up her package, she received a call from Zhang Yu: "Yes, I'm picking up my package now!"

"Have your orders arrived?"

"Okay, okay, I'll bring it up for you!"

Hello?

Where are they?

Bai Zhenzhen looked at her phone with some confusion. The network signal was clearly normal, so why couldn't she hear the other person's voice?
