Competition Team

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's question, Zhang Pianpian paused slightly and replied, "Who in this world doesn't lack money?"

"I am indeed trying to raise some money. Although I'm still a little short, it shouldn't be long before I've raised the rest."

Upon hearing Zhang Pianpian's answer, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could it be just a matter of 50 Spirit Coin?"

However, he was unsure whether the 50 Spirit Coin reflected in the Dao Seed were related to the money Zhang Pianpian had raised, and he couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart for the time being.

At the same time, Zhang Yu also felt that he was running out of Spirit Coin!

"Throat, indeed, the Spirit-Flesh Unity. I'll try it myself first, and only spend money if I can't get it working!"

For the next few days, Zhang Yu and the other three continued their studies, cultivation, and work as usual, as if nothing had happened!

That day, Zhang Yu was practicing his Breathing Technique in the Cemetery as usual!

After days of arduous training, he has completed the seventh Breathing Technique of the Jie Vein Long Flow and is now practicing the eighth Breathing Technique —the Spirit Guiding Body Tempering Art!

At this moment, his magical power flowed freely, and a dense Spiritual Energy energy flowed through his meridians, continuously spreading out and silently tempering his entire body!

During his time working and cultivating at the Cemetery, Zhang Yu spent more time meditating and practicing Breath Circulation, so he specifically chose a Breath Circulation that could temper his muscles.

Breathing Technique will prevent your Body Tempering progress from falling too far behind!

But when he was practicing the seventh and eighth Breathing Technique, he could feel that his cultivation efficiency was slowing down!

This slowness was not due to the environment or any change in his condition, but simply because Zhang Yu Yu's Breathing Technique was becoming increasingly difficult!

"But there's nothing we can do about it!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There are only a dozen or so Breathing Technique belonging to the Jiemai Clothing Set. I've already mastered the simplest ones, but the rest are quite complex. Each one takes a considerable amount of time to complete one cycle!"

"In that case, even for me, it would probably take half a month, or even a month, to raise a Breathing Technique to Level 20!"

Zhang Yu knew that if anyone heard his current sentiments, they might want to beat him up!

However, for someone who was already used to rapidly improving his Cultivation Method level, reaching Level 20 in a single Cultivation Method in a month was indeed a bit lacking!

After a long while, Zhang Yu felt that the effects of the medicine he had taken in the previous meal had been exhausted, so he slowly stopped practicing and took the opportunity to check the messages he had accumulated!

First, he replied to the drug-related messages in the dormitory group chat, and then Zhang Yu scanned through some homework messages in the class group chat!

Then came all sorts of random messages in various groups!

Ye Xingli, a Artifact Crafting Department, had pulled him into some weapon-refining group. Two groups were arguing about which weapon-refining method was better: Vajra Mysterious Creation or Heavenly Craft!

Furthermore, news has surfaced in the Songyang Fellow Villagers Group: a student from Shui Province Demon Descendant Vocational College, in an effort to save money by refusing medication and chronically pushing himself to stay up all night, nearly suffered cardiac arrest and died suddenly.

I'm borrowing money in the group to buy Energy Capsule so I can stay up all night without worry!

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: Don't lend money in the group. One warning, two kicks and you're out!

Xiong Wenwu from Heavenly Demon University: We're all from the same hometown, he just wants to borrow some money to stay up, don't be so strict, right?

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: If you have no money, go to sleep!

Another student of Demon Descendant jumped out and retorted, "What's the difference between making him sleep every day in college and telling him to die? He's a college student; he just doesn't want to sleep and wants to get up and study. What's wrong with that?"

Chu Qiuhe from Vajra University: Who knows if it's a scam! If someone is really so poor they can't even afford to stay up all night, what kind of immortality are they cultivating?

After glancing casually at the discussions in the group, Zhang Yu looked at the other accumulated information!

Then he discovered that Cong Na from the Competition Team had sent him a message!

Cong Na: Everyone else in the team has agreed. I'll send you the competition materials and add you to the group chat.

Zhang Yu first accepted the competition materials, glanced at them briefly, and then agreed to the other party's invitation to join the group!

Zhang Yu: Greetings everyone. I'm new here, so please take good care of me in the future.

Cong Na: Welcome

Ma Xuan: Welcome to join us

Zhang Yu greeted them, but apart from Cong Na and Ma Xuan, no one else came to welcome him, and their chat history was quickly shared online!

Zhang Yu glanced around and saw that there were three other people in the group chatting enthusiastically about Dao Arts, with lines of text rapidly appearing and filling the entire chat window!

Zhang Yu then looked at the profiles of the other five people in the group besides himself!

He discovered that, apart from Cong Na who only showed her fifth place in her class, everyone else also showed their departmental ranking in addition to their class ranking!

Ma Xuan was ranked 35th in the entire department, and the other three were all ranked in the 40s or 50s!

Including Zhang Yu, there are a total of six people, which makes up the number of members in a Competition Team!

Zhang Yu then looked at their grades and realized they were at most fifth-year university students!

Zhang Yu understood that these students were clearly elite academic achievers in the Civil Engineering Department, having broken into the top 50 in the entire department at this stage!

"No wonder nobody's paying attention to me!"

Zhang Yu completely understood this. After all, it's normal for high-ranking students to be shy around low-ranking students, and ignoring low-ranking students is actually very polite!

Just then, one of the students, Bu Ziran, posted a short video showing a lung skeletal Dharma Skeleton that had just been unpacked!

Bu Ziran: The latest lung-strengthening technique from the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect! Breathing alone can accumulate and condense Lung Metal Sword Qi!

Bu Ziran: Subscribe to the monthly service of the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect, and you can also change 23 kinds of Sword Qi!

Bu Ziran: Bought it for 18.88 Spirit Coin.

When Zhang Yu saw the price, he wanted to say it was expensive, but then another student named Yang Yan replied, "This price is cheap. Did you get a discount?"

Bu Ziran: I have an uncle who works at the Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect, and I got this at an internal price.

As Zhang Yu watched the various conversations in the group about Dharma Skeleton, medicines, Dao Arts, and Law Treasure, he thought of the flour bricks he had fought so hard to snatch not long ago. He felt increasingly out of place in the group, unable to participate in these topics even if he wanted to!

Looking at the group of fourth and fifth graders who were all top students, none of whom were ranked in the top 20 of the entire department, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, "That old geezer Spark True Person even told me to switch to the Artifact Crafting Department after I entered the Civil Engineering Department engineering department. Does he know how difficult it is to Transfer Departments in university these days?"

"It's going to be tough to climb into the top 20 in the entire department before the end of your junior year!"

Zhang Yu knew that to surpass middle and upper grade students in Comprehensive Score while still in the lower grades, he needed to take middle and upper grade courses in advance!

This requires not only incredible talent, but also a huge amount of money!

Ji Yuan Shu from their class is a prodigy aiming to Transfer Departments to another Heavenly Prodigy!

During this time, Zhang Yu gradually figured out the typical cultivation plan of the Heavenly Prodigy who Transfer Departments disciplines!

"During my freshman and sophomore years, I was basically still building my foundation, pushing my basic data to the Foundation Establishment Peak!"

"During my junior year, I started learning ahead of time, using the Spirit Realm to accelerate my learning of a large number of senior courses in my department and pass the exams!"

"Finally, in your junior year, accumulate a large number of Comprehensive Score! Only by getting your ranking into the top 50 can you Transfer Departments!"

"And for those switching from the Civil Engineering Department Artifact Crafting Department, the requirements are even more stringent; they must at least be in the top 20!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Old Deng Spark has probably been away from university for too long!"

"My Elder Sister, on the other hand, thinks that even if she can't do that, she can always switch to weapon crafting after taking the postgraduate entrance exam!"

"But!" Zhang Yu Yu's gaze hardened, and he made a firm decision. "I must enter Ten Great Sects. I must hurry and get into Ten Great Sects the Ten Great Sects before the entry channels close!"

"And the Ten Great Sects do not accept members from the Civil Engineering Department!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I must join the Artifact Crafting Department as soon as possible and start practicing its Artifact Crafting Department!"

"Taking the postgraduate entrance exam and then switching to the Artifact Crafting Department is too slow, way too slow!"

Seeing the rankings of Chuang Xuan and the others, Zhang Yu felt a renewed sense of urgency and quickly resumed his cultivation!

However, the effects of the previous dose of medicine have worn off, and the efficiency of my Breath Circulation is much lower now!

Zhang Yu decided to take advantage of this time, before taking his next dose of medicine, to try the Spirit-Flesh Unity!

"According to Teacher Feng Jiu of the Dao Heart Class, the level of mental cultivation is such that 24-hour operation is just the foundation!"

"Beyond this lies the realm of semi-instinct!"

"And beyond semi-instinct lies the Spirit-Flesh Unity Realm!"

Zhang Yu felt the mental cultivation technique circulating in his mind, recalling the time on the first floor when the building collapsed and he was buried, entering a state of suspended animation.

The feeling!

"At that time, I appeared to be completely unconscious to outsiders, but in reality, I was clinging to the last shred of a will to live!"

At that moment, I wasn't thinking about anything, I wasn't pondering anything. I just felt myself in a dark world of consciousness, focusing all my energy on activating my body to maintain my flesh and blood.

The proliferation!

"This state of maintaining the last sliver of clarity in one's mind is almost at a semi-instinctive level!"

"And the state of Spirit-Flesh Unity means that even if one truly loses consciousness and falls into a complete coma, the mental cultivation technique continues to operate, just like breathing!"

Zhang Yu tried to activate the state of suspended animation of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen, constantly erasing the distracting thoughts in his mind!

But no matter how hard he tries to suppress the many thoughts in his mind, there will always be one last thought that keeps him clear-headed!

"This is really difficult!" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Even if I lose consciousness, I have to maintain the operation of the mental technique!"

This is absolutely inhuman!

"In the time that followed, Zhang Yu would try to achieve a state of Spirit-Flesh Unity whenever he had a spare moment during his daily cultivation!"

Although I haven't succeeded yet, I can feel that the flow of the mental technique has become slightly smoother.

In particular, the faster he entered that state where only the last thought remained in his mind, the faster he could do it!

Time flies, and it's already early June!

More than a month has passed since Zhang Yu first set foot on the Cemetery project!

In the past month or so, although President Wang provided financial assistance in the early stages and it stopped later, Zhang Yu still made great strides in his magical power thanks to the daily Tiger-Wolf Medicine and the unique environment of the Cemetery, which surged to a level of 661.3!

As the Magical Power Quality increases, the improvement efficiency slows down, but it still reaches 168%!

With the constant operation of the mental cultivation method, the Dao Heart also steadily improved, reaching level 14 (64.8%).

Because I've been focusing on Breath Circulation lately, I haven't had much time to train, and my Physical Strength Physical Strength has only increased to level 15.18!

The Gang Qi Conductivity and maximum conduction distance also steadily increased with the improvement of the basic values, reaching 42% and 44 meters respectively!

That day, Ma Xuan contacted Zhang Yu again, inviting him to participate in the Competition Team's training session to improve team cohesion!
