During the time Zhang Yu was working with Tian Yang, thanks to Wang Yin's daily support, Zhang Yu had food to eat every day to replenish his vital energy and strengthen his constitution.

Professional technicians provided him with massages to help him repair his body and accelerate the recovery of his bodily functions after each training session.

"As for the side effects from the massage therapists, of course I overcame them with my Supreme Will."

With the addition of a large amount of Tiger-Wolf Medicine and the rich Spiritual Energy energy of the Cemetery, his cultivation conditions had never been better, and his cultivation level improved far more rapidly than ever before.

"If Wang Yin knew that Tian Yang and I were just acting to fool him, and that we never actually left the construction site after work, wouldn't he be even angrier? He'd probably hate me even more!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's statement, Fu Ji remarked, "After learning the truth, he'll probably be the first one to suffer!"

Zhang Yu Outer Dao, "Himself?"

Fu Ji said, "Hehe, the most important thing in deceiving someone is to let them benefit from it!"

"Only after reaping profits and benefits will people willingly fall into scams, getting deeper and deeper into them, and even refusing to face the truth despite knowing it's a scam!"

"Wang Yin is a wealthy man. His Hatred for you alone wouldn't be enough to motivate him to get involved so actively!"

"I think..." Fu Ji speculated, "I'm afraid it's just as I guessed before. You've become his Heart Demon, and he needs to use you to patch up his weaknesses and improve his Dao Heart!"

"But if he finds out the truth, and realizes that you weren't manipulated by him, but instead used the resources he invested to improve your cultivation... then his Heart Demon will likely intensify, the flaws in his cultivation method will widen, Dao Heart might not only fail to recover... it could even regress!"

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Doesn't that mean... I have an extra card in my hand that can deal with him?"

Fu Ji said calmly, "But this card isn't just in your hand!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Tian Yang... and his friend from the Nether University? Could it be that someone from the Nether University is setting a trap for Wang Yin?"

Lacking sufficient information, Zhang Yu's understanding of the whole situation remained like that of a blind man touching an elephant, unable to grasp the true picture!

He decided to put aside these distracting thoughts and continue to focus on his cultivation. After all, grades, rankings, and cultivation levels were what he relied on to make a living at the Ten Thousand Laws University!

He took a deep breath and began practicing his Breath Circulation Cultivation Method again!

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu spent his time cultivating, working, taking online classes, eating, getting massages, and occasionally spending Spirit Coin to receive various cultivation services. He also took time to help Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan with their cultivation!

Every day, he felt that 24 hours was simply not enough, and he wished he could split himself into several more clones!

Under such circumstances, his cultivation level also improved by leaps and bounds!

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Zhang Yu was cultivating at the construction site as usual!

His current Dao Heart has reached 14 (25.3%).

Feeling his increasingly firm will, and with the image of the White Ox in his mind, treading on rolling black mud, its head held high and chest puffed out, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "After reaching level 15 Dao Heart, I can try to circulate the second Heart Technique!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't even tested the matchmaking yet!"

"I don't know what the most suitable mental cultivation method for me is, or the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra."

At the same time, the flow of magic power within Zhang Yu's body became increasingly turbulent, reaching 610.9, and the Magical Power Quality also reached 165%!

As he made his move, his Gang Qi surged forth, transforming into a vast sea of clouds, creating vortexes that twisted and turned Rebar Mesh, dismantled debris, and cleared away trash...

The next moment, Zhang Yu's flesh and blood suddenly trembled, and he felt as if his physical body, magic power, Gang Qi were blending together!

"Physical Strength has broken through to level 15!"

Although Zhang Yu's main training goal during this period was the Breathing Technique, he would still take the time to train his Physical Strength whenever he had the opportunity!

Especially with daily meals and massages, coupled with the daily tempering at 30 times the normal gravity provided by the Nine Hells Mountain Suppressing Belt Suppression Ritual...

His Physical Strength has finally reached level 15!

"Just like Lang Yougong said..."

With a flick of his finger, Zhang Yu unleashed a burst of energy that rippled outwards like Gang Qi, carrying the force of his flick far and wide before striking the wall more than ten meters away with a soft thud!

As his Physical Strength reached level 15, Zhang Yu could feel his magic power becoming increasingly integrated with his body, and his Gang Qi seemed to become an extension of his body!

The power of each of his punches and kicks was transmitted far and wide by the Gang Qi!

Afterwards, he conducted a test in the teaching area, and his Gang Qi Conductivity was 35%, and the farthest distance he could conduct Gang Qi was 38 meters!

In other words, by using Martial Dao Gang Qi, he can only transmit up to 35% of the power when he throws a punch!

This 35% of the power ripples outwards along the Gang Qi, reaching a maximum distance of 38 meters!

Beyond 38 meters, the power transmitted by the Gang Qi will rapidly decrease!

"To improve the Gang Qi Conductivity and maximum transmission distance of Qi, it is related to my magical power level, Magical Power Quality, Physical Strength, and Martial Dao skills!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I need comprehensive improvement, let's take it one step at a time!"

Zhang Yu spread his five fingers, slightly activated his power, Formless Cloud Gang formed his palm shape more than ten meters away, gently grabbing a piece of brick!

The Gang Qi seemed to have become his limbs, allowing him to transmit power with a mere thought!

"This makes working much easier!"

Besides the improvement in his strength, Zhang Yu's biggest gain during this period was Spirit Coin!

Although he spent a considerable amount of money, the Spirit Coin he received from Tian Yang several times still kept increasing his balance!

Especially after the scene where he failed to get permission to work overtime, Tian Yang and Wang Yin traded a magical Law Treasure produced by the Netherworld University. Afterwards, Tian Yang paid Zhang Yu 22.5 Spirit Coin, half the market price!

This made Zhang Yu think to himself from time to time, "Wang Yin is really a big fat sheep. How many people and how many jobs does he support all by himself?"

Zhang Yu's current Spirit Coin balance has thus increased to over 29.1!

As for how to spend these Spirit Coin, Zhang Yu hadn't decided yet because there were so many places to spend them. Just then, two figures walked over excitedly!

Yu Xing Sai: "Brother."

Li Xiao: "Yu-ge."

Yu Xinghan said impatiently, "Let's go, let's go get a massage!"

Although Li Xiao didn't speak, he was also staring at Zhang Yu expectantly!

During this period, thanks to Wang Yin's extravagance, not only did Zhang Yu hire many masseuses every day, but even Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao were able to take advantage of the occasional free masseuses when Zhang Yu couldn't accommodate too many masseuses. In any case, Wang Yin paid for it all!

Zhang Yu brought up Tian Yang's portrait in the Eye Remains and said, "It seems the arrangements over there aren't finalized yet!"

These days, Tian Yang prepares his daily massages and then notifies him to go!

Yu Xinghan was slightly disappointed upon hearing this. His Third Eye in his mind turned, and he thought to himself, "Sigh, I've almost finished learning the techniques of those technicians. Will I be unable to arrange anything today?"

Using the mimicry ability of his Three-Eyed Divine Power, Yu Xinghan has been secretly learning the massage techniques of the masseuses!

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Tian Yang: the situation may have been exposed... Nether University!

Wang Yin's face grew increasingly grim as he watched the video appear in his Eye Remains.

In the video, Zhang Yu is seen eating a large bowl of rice and devouring meat, swallowing bowls of Heaven Essence Rice and plates of Dragon Liver Phoenix Gall!

After finishing five bowls of rice and three plates of meat, Zhang Yu showed no signs of drowsiness, demonstrating an amazing digestive ability!

The video Wang Yin was seeing was one that had been recorded not long ago when Zhang Yu attended a banquet hosted by Ye Xingli and was eating meat and rice!

Seeing Zhang Yu in the video, not even blushing or out of breath, Wang Yin thought to himself, "Heh heh, so this is what this guy's real appetite is?"

In addition, even more news about Zhang Yu's recent situation came to his attention!

"Tian Yang... Zhang Yu..."

Wang Yin gritted his teeth and said, "You're playing me?"

The thought that someone as wealthy as himself had been so easily fooled by Zhang Yu, and that the money he had spent had not only failed to manipulate Zhang Yu but had instead greatly aided Zhang Yu's cultivation, caused Wang Yin's anger to erupt like a volcano!

As his anger erupted, Wang Yin felt that the Emperor's Heart cultivation technique in his mind was about to stop operating, and his Dao Heart, which had already recovered to level 16, was on the verge of collapse!

As his face turned pale and then flushed, Wang Yin felt his internal energy and flesh spiral out of control, and a sharp pain shot through his internal organs...

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and felt his Dao Heart regress to level 15, and then it continued to regress!

"Damn it! That beast Tian Yang actually teamed up with Zhang Yu to deceive me?"

"And Mo Xingzi, he's the one who introduced Tian Yang to me. Was he doing this on purpose? Trying to set a trap for me and ruin my Dao Heart?"

Wang Yin knew that he shouldn't be thinking nonsense, especially at times like these, but he couldn't control the thoughts that kept flashing through his mind!

Instead, thinking about how he had been manipulated and Zhang Yu's secret smugness these past few days, Wang Yin felt his Dao Heart becoming increasingly unstable, and the power within his body at risk of continuing to spiral out of control!

But just then, a woman's voice entered his ears. "My son, there's no need to overthink it. I had Mo Xingzi do this!"

"Mom?" Wang Yin was slightly taken aback, a mixture of shock, anger, and confusion in his voice. "Did you have Mo Xingzi deceive me?"

The woman said calmly, "I only asked him to point out the flaw in your heart, but I didn't expect him to actually be able to find Zhang Yu to provoke you!"

Before Wang Yin could speak, the woman quickly continued, "My son, since your birth you have had a smooth life, and later you even mastered the Heart Sutra of the Emperor's Heart! But there is one thing I have always worried about!"

"This mental cultivation method originated from the mental cultivation method practiced by the emperors of ancient dynasties. Success comes with following the natural order, failure with going against it. But even immortals have their moments of dissatisfaction in this world, let alone us?"

As the saying goes, human strength has its limits; even if you possess immense wealth, you will eventually fail.

"The key is not to avoid failure, but to know how to get back up after it!"

"Zhang Yu defeated you this time, is a penniless wretch. You can retaliate by throwing money at him, but what if the next person who defeats you is richer and more powerful than you?"

Wang Yin murmured, "Mom, do you want me to change my mind and mend the flaws in my heart myself?"

"That's right!" the other party said calmly. "The cultivation method is meant to assist cultivators, not to bind their actions!"

"You must master the mental techniques, not let them bind your thoughts!"

Wang Yin still couldn't let it go, and gritted his teeth, saying, "But Zhang Yu..."

The woman said calmly, "Zhang Yu, that ant-like thing, is destined to scavenge for food on construction sites. From beginning to end, he's just someone else's tool! Think about it carefully, what ruined your plans—was it the tool itself, or the person wielding it?"

"Zhang Yu doesn't care about me at all!"

"I value the flaws in your heart more than him!"

"Although your Dao Heart has regressed this time, it has also completely exposed the flaws in your heart. This is your best opportunity to improve your thinking and make up for the flaws in your heart. If you can't make up for them, you will never have hope of reaching the Golden Core stage. It means that you are nothing more than this. There is no need to waste Spirit Coin anymore."

"If you can make up for it, I will arrange a tutor for you, and you can focus on preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam for the next year!"

"Once he breaks through to the Golden Core Nascent Soul and attempts to reach the Nascent Soul stage, looking back at this mere Zhang Yu, he'll be nothing but a pile of bones in a grave!"

Ever since he learned that the information had been leaked, Zhang Yu had been on high alert, guarding against any possible retaliation from Wang Yin!

But a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and May was just around the corner. Zhang Yu felt that everything was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened!

At the same time, he finally mastered the sixth Breathing Technique, and the First Layer Qi Vein Everflow was activated!
