Hammer Heart Residence

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened slightly as he observed the new layer of effects of the Qi Meridian Everflowing. He immediately put it to the test.

Zhang Yu's internal magical power circulated, transforming into waves of Formless Cloud Gang rising from his dantian.

The next moment, the surging Gang Qi transformed into three Formless Warrior that appeared behind him.

As the three Formless Warrior punched and kicked, demonstrating the various Martial Arts Zhang Yu had mastered, Zhang Yu's magical power was also severely depleted.

But Zhang Yu also felt that, under the influence of the new layer of Qi Meridian Everflowing, the rate of mana consumption was significantly lower than before!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "There will inevitably be additional losses during the circulation of magical power! And the losses will be even greater when the Gang Qi circulates outside the body!"

"But with the added benefit of the Qi Vein Everflow layer, the loss is reduced, which means my magic power is more durable!"

"Plus, the original mana recovery speed of the Qi Vein Everflow is also enhanced!"

As Zhang Yu pondered, two more Formless Warrior appeared and began operating at full power!

After several attempts, Zhang Yu confirmed that with the blessing of Le Mai Chang Liu, his magical power was sufficient to support the full operation of five Formless Warrior, or two Deep Cold Warrior!

"This has nearly doubled our work efficiency!"

Feeling the effects of the Second Layer of Qi Meridian Everflowing, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly. Although it only reduced the loss of magical power, it was like a qualitative change, greatly improving his work efficiency per unit of time!

"I wonder what the final effect of the Qi Vein Everflow will be!"

Zhang Yu calculated the time and figured he should be able to complete the final stage of Qi Vein Everflow by August, which meant he would achieve all the effects of Qi Vein Everflow before the Final Exam. As a result, he became increasingly excited!

In addition, there is the upgrade of Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power, Zhang Yu's own Spirit-Flesh Unity, and the Second Cultivation Method, all of which he hopes to complete before the end of the semester!

"I'm sure I can beat Ji Yuan Shu and take first place in the class this semester!"

"As long as you get first place in your grade for three consecutive years, you can master the first three Cultivation Method of the Three Wonders of Earth and Wood Trilogy!"

Zhang Yu had been eyeing Ma Xuan's Small Three Harmonies for a long time, and now he couldn't help but sigh, "Luckily, as long as I stay first in the class, I can still get the Cultivation Method!"

"From this perspective, the university ranking system is indeed very valuable!"

A few days later, just as Zhang Yu was thinking about how he could showcase his improved skills during the next training session with the Competition Team, Chang Ma Xuan, the Competition Team leader, sent him a message.

Ma Xuan: Zhang Yu, there are some things I need to discuss with you regarding the specific arrangements for the competition next semester.

Ma Xuan: You have great talent, and your skills have been improving very quickly. I've always felt that you could become our team's Secret Weapon.

Ma Xuan: Cong Na also really admires you and finds it very pleasant to work with you.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu had a bad feeling. "Saying so many nice things right off the bat, it doesn't look like anything good!"

Ma Xuan: But now there's a student ranked higher than you who wants to join our team.

Ma Xuan: The team has unanimously decided that you will temporarily serve as the substitute.

Hearing Ma Xuan's words, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, inwardly cursing, "This kind of Evil Qi trend of solely focusing on grades and rankings is too prevalent in universities!"

Can rankings truly reflect my full value?

Fu Ji said, "You didn't say that last time when you surpassed Gongshu Jin in the rankings! You can't just think a ranking is good only when you're ranked higher than someone else!"

Zhang Yu curled his lip. Of course he understood that in college, rankings were king. Whoever ranked higher had the right and priority!

As a system for measuring the value of a college student, Zhang Yu could only abide by it in the Ten Thousand Laws University City!

At least for now, he doesn't have the power to contend with this system!

Even he himself is a beneficiary of this system!

But the substitute position...

Zhang Yu thought to himself that if he didn't play, even if the Competition Team won a place, his Comprehensive Score wouldn't increase much!

"Ugh, this is so troublesome!"

Just as Zhang Yu was feeling troubled, he discovered that the new team member had already been added to the Competition Team's group chat by Ma Xuan!

"Ji Yuan Shu?"

Upon seeing that Ji Yuan Shu, who was ranked above him, had joined the team, Zhang Yu frowned and said, "That guy who's ranked one place above me!"

"Speaking of which, he wanted to switch to the Finance Department to improve his Comprehensive Score for the competition, right?"

Ma Xuan: Welcome, Ji, to the team.

Cong Na: Welcome, welcome! [fireworks][fireworks][fireworks]

Bu Ziran: Junior Ji, long time no see.

Yang Yan: Haha, Yuan Shu, it's great that you're here! Then we'll definitely be able to achieve a higher ranking in the competition next semester.

Seeing the enthusiastic welcome from everyone in the group, Zhang Yu thought to himself that this was so different from how he felt when he first joined the group!

Watching the group chatting happily in Ruoli, Zhang Yu felt increasingly out of place!

A few days later, the Competition Team organized another training session, but this time Zhang Yu wasn't even notified!

"These guys..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Looks like they've completely given up on me!"

"I'll never get along with these rich guys!"

Should we switch teams?

"Should I stay here and rack up some Comprehensive Score?"

But the next moment, Zhang Yu frowned slightly. "No, if I stay on the team, no matter how many Comprehensive Score I get in the end, as a substitute player, my points will definitely not be as high as Ji Yuan Shu's!"

"Does that mean my score will be lower than his right from the start next semester?"

"Could this guy be doing this on purpose? Is he deliberately trying to outdo me and gain an advantage in the rankings?"

Zhang Yu wasn't sure, let alone ask Ji Yuan Shu, but his desire to switch to the Competition Team grew stronger!

"Forget it, let's focus on building up our skills and preparing for the Final Exam!"

"Anyway, there's still plenty of time to register. I'll wait until the Final Exam, and once my ranking improves, I'll see if I can switch teams!"

So in the days that followed, Zhang Yu felt like he was holding his breath, and he practiced even more diligently!

Before we knew it, it was already late July!

There's still a little over a month left until the Final Exam at the end of August!

That day in the dormitory, everyone finally received the Spirit Coin they had obtained from the previous robbery of the Dark Planting Realm!

Looking at the numbers in their bank accounts, their eyes gleamed with hope!

Yu Xinghan's face was rosy, and he thought happily, "Now I can exchange my Dharma Skeleton!"

"But should we switch to a massage- Dharma Skeleton to further improve earning efficiency, or switch to a cultivation-type Dharma Skeleton to increase cultivation efficiency?"

Countless models of Dharma Skeleton immediately flashed through his mind, all of which he had carefully selected and compared during the days when he couldn't afford Dharma Skeleton!

Looking at the numbers in her bank account, Le Mulan thought to herself, "Adding my own savings, it should be enough to complete the advanced surgery for Super Metabolism!"

Upon arriving on the Second Layer, with her brother's guidance, Le Mulan quickly discovered that the company upstairs had already developed Super Metabolism surgery!

Zhang Yu was also looking at the numbers that appeared in his Eye Remains!

Although he sold some magic power to make up for it over the past two months, Zhang Yu has spent a considerable amount on elixirs, Spirit Stone, Dao Arts, Law Treasure, and so on in order to continue making progress, and his savings have been decreasing steadily!

However, with today's influx of Spirit Coin, the number of Spirit Coin in his account has reached a full 42.9!

Zhang Yu was overwhelmed with excitement; this was the first time he had ever had so many Spirit Coin!

But then the question arises: where does the money go?

"My Elder Sister always demands 50 Spirit Coin for the Taiqing Talisman!"

"42.9 to 50 Spirit Coin Spirit Coin not seem like much, but with my current income, even if I scrimp and save and slow down my cultivation progress, it would take me at least two or three months to save that much!"

"The key issue is this Taiqing Talismans... we still don't know what its effects are!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I were to focus on the Spirit-Flesh Unity, I could immediately cultivate a Second Cultivation Method!"

Regarding the Spirit-Flesh Unity, Zhang Yu has been trying to achieve this in recent days. Although he has made some minor progress, he still sees no hope of success in the short term!

This led him to gradually give up on the possibility of breaking through on his own and to decide to directly invest money!

On one hand, there's the Taiqing Talisman, which faces an uncertain future and requires another two or three months of hard work!

On the other hand, there's the Second Cultivation Method, which can be mastered quickly and has a clearly defined function: the Spirit-Flesh Unity!

Zhang Yu also considered that the Final Exam would begin in just over a month, and his current plans were crucial to his chances of getting first place in the class!

"Let's focus on Spirit-Flesh Unity, and strive for the Second Cultivation Method!"

After some thought, accompanied by the chilling Ritual Power spreading, seemingly urging him to hurry and not stop, Zhang Yu finally put on the Spirit Realm Mask, his consciousness penetrating deep into the Spirit Realm, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at Hammer Heart Residence!

A completely empty, pure white room!

A line of text appeared in front of Zhang Yu: "Hello, I am Spirit 3001001 the Hammer Heart Residence server. It's my pleasure to serve you!"

What do you need?

Zhang Yu said, "The Spirit-Flesh Unity, the one that costs 30 Spirit Coin!"

As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, the pure white room in front of them rapidly expanded and transformed into a pavilion with mountains and water!

Below the original handwriting appeared a beautiful woman in palace attire, smiling at Zhang Yu and saying, "Hello, Mr. Zhang Yu, please have some tea!"

Zhang Yu casually accepted the teacup offered, looking at the once simple little room that had been transformed into a luxurious courtyard. He thought to himself, "Things change so quickly. They really do treat people differently based on their status."

!"

"But I feel a little good about it. Consumerism really does do a lot of harm!"

Zhang Yu asked, "Could you first explain to me how you're helping me achieve the Spirit-Flesh Unity?"

The other party said, "Hammer Heart Residence has collected a large amount of breakthrough experience from cultivators. We can select a breakthrough experience that matches your specific situation and simulate the environment in which others broke through!"

"Once you purchase this service, you will be able to perform a simulated breakthrough once a day!"

"According to our company's current statistics, the longest time to achieve this breakthrough is 29 days!"

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he said, "You mean that after purchasing this service, even the person with the worst aptitude can successfully reach the state of Spirit-Flesh Unity after 29 simulated breakthroughs?"

The other person smiled and said, "You can understand it that way!"

After confirming that Zhang Yu indeed wanted to order the Spirit-Flesh Unity and physical service, the price list, contract, various discounts, and packages quickly appeared in front of Zhang Yu!

"I don't want a membership, I don't want to participate in activities, I don't want any extra services, I just want 30 Spirit Coin to achieve Spirit-Flesh Unity..."

Zhang Yu had just finished speaking when he saw the installment payment option offered by the other party and immediately hesitated!

How many installments are possible?

"12 installments, 3.3 Spirit Coin per installment? Deductions will begin next month?"

Zhang Yu secretly estimated, "That means it will take more than a year to repay 9.6 Spirit Coin?"

"Can the extra Spirit Coin from the installment plan allow me to earn an extra 9.6 Spirit Coin in a year?"

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering these things, the beautiful woman in palace attire before him said again, "If you sign up for installment payments now, you'll receive a free mental cultivation method compatibility test, which can help you calculate the Second Cultivation Method that's most suitable for you!"

Zhang Yu made the decision. "Do it!"

He knew in his heart that after the Spirit-Flesh Unity, he would inevitably have to choose Second Cultivation Method!

After signing the contract, Zhang Yu first participated in psychological and willpower tests!

Based on parameters such as his cultivation method, mental state, and Dao Heart Level, a simulated breakthrough environment matching Zhang Yu's condition was quickly generated!
