Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Gongshu Jin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

If taking more Lifespan-Reducing Medicine and working more overtime could make you this strong, then you wouldn't even have a chance to work overtime. You wouldn't even get paid to do it.

However, Gongshu Jin also understood that even if Zhang Yu had some learning secrets, Immortal Dao experience, or hidden Immortal Dao Potential, he would not easily tell him.

At the same time, Zhang Yu looked at Gongshu Jin and said, "I have to go work overtime, but if you're willing to pay me some more Spirit Coin, I can stay and continue our discussion."

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Gongshu Jin ultimately decided not to give him the Spirit Coin!

It's not that he can't afford it, but that he feels it's unnecessary!

After calming down, Gongshu Jin quickly realized Zhang Yu's ability to fight desperately!

It's useless to him!

His life was far more valuable than the other person's; how could he possibly risk it like that?

"Even if I had the money to buy Longevity Elixir, the more I took them, the higher the dosage became, and the less effective they were!"

In Gongshu Jin's eyes, the longer one 'Longevity, the higher the cost of the next Longevity will be!

When the cost of Longevity lifespan begins to exceed a cultivator's income, a person's lifespan gradually begins to come to an end!

"Natural lifespan is never the limit for cultivators at any level!"

"A person's true lifespan limit should be the maximum Longevity that their income can afford!"

Even if Zhang Yu can Longevity in the future, the lifespan he has consumed by risking his life like this is still gone!

"His lifespan limit, income limit, and working years limit have ultimately been reduced!"

This is all a losing proposition for Gongshu Jin!

Having thought all this through, and watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Gongshu Jin activated his mental technique. The level 15 Azure Dragon Leaping Heaven Heart Art constantly awakened his fighting spirit to climb upwards, soar into the sky, and reach even higher levels of Kunxu!

"I have my own path. I just need to follow it step by step, accumulate experience and make a breakthrough later. I don't need to fight tooth and nail with others because of temporary gains or losses!"

"Making money is the Immortal Dao to immortality I want to take!"

Thinking of this, he sent a message to his Master: Master, I lost!

How much do you want?

Upon seeing his Master's reply, Gongshu Jin felt that after today's defeat, he was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, his fighting spirit and Immortal Dao Potential were surging forth endlessly!

Next time, he will be even stronger!

Zhang Yu was on his way to the construction site on the 666th Layer!

Feeling the injuries within his body and examining the various bloodstains on his skin, he thought to himself, "The ultimate Civil Engineering Sacred Body is powerful, but it's still too troublesome to use!"

"Every time the foreplay is too long, it would take a lot of time just to make me injured or even weak!"

"If I get covered in blood, I'll have to take a shower and do laundry... that'll be even more of a hassle!"

While pondering, Zhang Yu slowly began to circulate his internal energy and practice a new Breathing Technique!

Heavenly Fortune Longevity Art, Level 13!

After completing the Ultimate University Sacred Body and the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, Zhang Yu has started practicing the Breathing Technique again these days, preparing to advance the Chain Law Diagram set, and the Pulse Flow!

The Heavenly Fortune Longevity Technique that Zhang Yu is currently practicing is one of the Breathing Technique for those suffering from pulse-induced dysplasia!

However, although the name of this Heavenly Fortune Longevity Technique contains the words "Changshou", it does not have the function of Longevity. It only uses Spiritual Energy and magic power to nourish the body and flesh and add a foundation to the body during Breath Circulation!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "These three months of training at the Outdoor Construction Site have improved me rapidly, but they've also almost completely drained my body!"

He felt like his body was an empty shell; although he was very powerful, he lacked the foundation to become even stronger!

After all, Zhang Yu understood that Immortal Dao cultivation was never obtained out of thin air!

The human body is like a vast treasure trove. While Zhang Yu has made tremendous progress over the past three months due to the destructive exploitation by various drugs and Cultivation Method, a large amount of the medicinal power, nutrients, energy, and other reserves that he has accumulated in his body have also been depleted!

"I need to replenish my body's foundation, otherwise my progress in Immortal Dao cultivation will probably slow down more and more!"

Whenever Zhang Yu thought of this, he felt the Spirit Coin in his account were already restless, eager to integrate into his body as the foundation of his Immortal Dao!

Just then, Zhang Yu saw a message flash across his Eye Remains; it was from Tu Lishan asking him to buy some body materials!

Zhang Yu: Is a blood test enough? What about saliva, testicles, and hair?

Tu Lishan: I only need blood for now. If I achieve results, I'll ask you to buy other things!

Zhang Yu shook his head regretfully, knowing that the other party probably wouldn't be able to get any results!

"After all, my potential is embodied in my will and the Feather Scroll, not in my mere physical body!"

Just then, Tu Lishan added, "By the way, Director Gao thinks highly of you and plans to mentor you!"

Tu Lishan: He will see you in a few days. Think carefully about what you need!

A moment later, Zhang Yu arrived at the construction site on the 666th Layer!

But just as he was about to cross the construction site gate, a voice suddenly called out to him!

"Zhang Yu?"

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw a security guard with light blue hair walking over!

Just as Zhang Yu felt the security guard looked familiar, he heard the man say, "Is it really you? Don't you remember me? Saint Jay, from Immortal Capital!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he remembered the other person's identity!

"This guy... was one of the four students who passed the High School Foundation Establishment Exam in my and A-Zhen's high school year and obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate!"

"But I was a junior in high school then, and he was a senior. He was going to enter university a year earlier than me!"

But Zhang Yu clearly remembered that the other party was a lackey of Wang Yin of the Oasis Market, so why didn't he apply to the Nether University, but instead went to the Ten Thousand Laws University?

Seemingly understanding Zhang Yu's doubts, Saint Jay smiled slightly and said, "As you know, I worked with President Wang for a while when I was on the first floor!"

"Although he is indeed good to his subordinates, I can sense that... I'm not a good fit for the atmosphere of Nether University and Oasis Group, so after thinking about it, I decided to switch to Ten Thousand Laws University when I was applying!"

As Immortal Capital People who climbed up from the bottom, Saint Jay had the awareness of being a dog, but he also understood that the first key to being a dog was choosing the right master!

During his time with President Wang on the first floor, he gradually realized that Mr. Wang was not a good choice, or at least not suitable for him!

Hearing what Saint Jay said, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "You're quite clever, kid!"

He glanced at the security guard uniform the other person was wearing and the class ranking of 16th on the other person's head, and Zhang Yu casually said, "You got into the Security Department?"

"Yes, I've been rotating through Fourth Office this year, and I'm currently responsible for security work in the University City!"

Saint Jay nodded and said, "You've entered the Civil Engineering Department? Then we might have a chance to cooperate in the future!"

As he spoke, Saint Jay's gaze swept over Zhang Yu's head, noting his class ranking of 28, and then he looked at the injuries on Zhang Yu's body!

He thought to himself, "Zhang Yu actually ranked like this? And he's covered in injuries!! It seems he's not in a good situation either!"

Although Saint Jay and the other person didn't get along very well when they were on the first floor, seeing the other person in Ten Thousand Laws University City gave him a natural feeling of being from the same hometown!

Having experienced similar hardships during his freshman year, Saint Jay sighed with some empathy and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "It's going to be tough for us freshmen! After all, this is Ten Thousand Laws University; it's not easy to get by..."

After exchanging a few casual words, Saint Jay returned to his post, only to hear the security guard next to him say, "Is that guy ranked 28th from your hometown?"

"This ranking is much lower than yours!"

Saint Jay gave an awkward laugh and said, "Maybe I'm just not used to it yet!"

Another colleague laughed and said, "It's good enough that we can study on the Second Layer."

"Now that I've graduated and gone back to my hometown, I guess I'll be working as someone above others, right?"

Faced with his classmates' teasing, Saint Jay could only continue to laugh awkwardly, feeling the gap between them once again. "Whether it's me or Zhang Yu, there's still a huge chasm between us and these students. Getting into the top of the class is extremely difficult!"

On the other side, after entering the construction site, Zhang Yu began working overtime and practicing as usual!

At the same time, his body's Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra continued to operate, and the self-healing ability brought about by the Body Activation silently took effect, controlling the gradual healing of the wounds on his body!

While Zhang Yu was quietly working overtime!

Many students in the Foundation Establishment Class are waiting for today's ranking update!

For example, Ying Xin has already refreshed the class Rankings several times!

"Gongshu Jin said he applied for the exam today, so the results should be updated today, right?"

Watching the constantly updated rankings, Ying Xin seemed to see a fierce battle erupting between Gongshu Jin and Ji Yuan Shu!

Although the two did not fight face-to-face, Ying Xin could still imagine how fierce the competition between them was!

She could almost see hundreds of Spirit Coin being evaporated behind both sides, turning into terrifying bursts of Immortal Dao Potential that clashed violently together, all for the sake of winning first place in the class!

Just then, Ying Xin's eyes lit up; a teacher from the Foundation Establishment Class had sent a message!

Jiao Lei True Person: All grades for the first semester have been updated. Please check your rankings and summarize what you've learned this semester!

Jiao Lei True Person: @Everyone

Jiao Lei True Person: Here I would like to give special praise to a student: his grades this semester have made a qualitative leap!

Upon seeing the class rankings posted by their homeroom teacher, Jiao Lei True Person, Ying Xin immediately clicked on them!

First place: Ji Yuan Shu, Comprehensive Score 1228

Second place: Zhang Yu, Comprehensive Score 1201

Third place: Gongshu Jin, Comprehensive Score 1183

Ying Xin stared at the ranking in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Zhang... Zhang Yu?"

"How did he jump to second place? He even surpassed Gongshu Jin!"

"And his Comprehensive Score isn't much different from Ji Yuan Shu's?"

But the next moment, Ying Xin seemed to realize something!

His eyes flickered slightly. "After all, because of that... it's understandable that Ji Yuan Shu isn't much taller than Zhang Yu!"

The fact that Zhang Yu defeated Gongshu Jin and got second place in the class still puzzled Ying Xin greatly!

"How much did he actually earn from the project over these three months?"

The thought of missing out on this project Ying Xin feel a heartache, a heartache that felt like it was about to break apart!

As Jiao Lei True Person tagged everyone in the class group, Zhang Yu, who was working overtime at the construction site, naturally received the message!

However, he was busy pouring concrete and hadn't had time to look at it before he discovered that many people had sent him messages!

Zhang Yu had a sudden thought and randomly clicked on one!

Li Xiao: Yu-ge, congratulations!

Arrogant?

Li Xiao: Haven't you checked the rankings yet? You're second in your class.
