Zhang Yu: "How long are you staying at Ten Thousand Laws University this time?"

Bai Zhenzhen: "I'll have to leave once the competition is over. If I try my best to hold on until the finals, that'll be about 10 days!"

Zhang Yu: I'll return the Divine Spiritual Root to you before you leave; you'll need it for the competition!

Bai Zhenzhen tilted her head nonchalantly. "It's okay, just return it to me before the competition!"

"Take this opportunity to make full use of your Divine Spiritual Root!"

He had already memorized a great deal of the basic knowledge of weapon crafting and understood it thoroughly!

However, he has not yet taken any experimental classes and has not had the opportunity to truly apply this knowledge in practice!

"Take advantage of this opportunity and make the most of your Divine Spiritual Root!"

"I just want the Divine Spiritual Root to help you increase your strength!"

"But don't tell your university classmates about our relationship for now, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to pass on the Divine Spiritual Root!"

Zhang Yu listened to Bai Zhenzhen speak while nodding repeatedly!

At this moment, as he looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him, his gaze involuntarily fell on her chest, and he inevitably saw the Dao Seed on her body!

Azure Lotus Sword Embryo (Spirit Root) Level 2

Besides the Dao Seed that appeared on Bai Zhenzhen's chest, he discovered that the same words had also appeared on his stomach!

Azure Lotus Sword Embryo (Spirit Root) Level 2

Zhang Yu pondered to himself, "So... A-Zhen's Dao Seed is True Spirit Root??"

"Azure Lotus Sword Embryo? It's already reached Level 2. Is it because it already underwent a transformation on Layer 1?"

However, Zhang Yu only sensed it briefly and didn't pay much attention to it after that!

At this moment, neither Zhang Yu nor Bai Zhenzhen took the matter of the Divine Spiritual Root too seriously. The two simply hugged each other tightly, slowly exchanging information about their situations and sensing each other's aura!

Throughout their three years of high school, they faced life-or-death situations together time and time again. Though not family, they were closer than family! Suddenly, Bai Zhenzhen said with a look of disgust, "The effects of that Yang Strengthening Meat haven't worn off yet?"

Zhang Yu said angrily, "Isn't this all your fault? If I hadn't eaten the Yang Strengthening Meat you gave me, would I have been so easily tempted? I've been living in fear these past few days!"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "I'm sure I didn't make a mistake back then. This matter... never mind, I'll figure it out later!"

Bai Zhenzhen flashed by like lightning, instantly emerging from Zhang Yu's arms and appearing several meters away!

She glanced at Zhang Yu sideways and said, "That's enough for today, I should go too!"

"Next, you should make full use of your Divine Spiritual Root to cultivate!"

Zhang Yu asked, "The competition starts tomorrow, right? So when will I return the Divine Spiritual Root to you?"

Bai Zhenzhen said, "The opening ceremony is in the first half of tomorrow night, and the first match is in the second half. You'd better give it back to me by midnight!"

As they spoke, Bai Zhenzhen's figure vanished silently before Zhang Yu's eyes, like a streak of light, displaying her superb Movement Method!

Looking in the direction where Bai Zhenzhen disappeared, Zhang Yu then focused his attention on his True Spirit Root, the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo!

Through his diligent sensing, information about the Dao Seed gradually emerged!

"The Azure Lotus Sword Embryo needs the nourishment of Cultivation Method!"

Zhang Yu muttered to himself, "To be specific, it means that when using the Divine Spiritual Root, one needs to practice Level 20 Cultivation Method for 30 hours, and in total, one needs to practice 10 such Cultivation Method!"

"However, these Cultivation Method!"

"So it will take a total of 300 hours? By then we'll be able to replicate this Dao Seed!"

Zhang Yu recalled that in high school, his True Spirit Root seemed to have undergone a transformation under the nourishment of various Cultivation Method!

"However, we can only sense the conditions for copying the Dao Seed at present; the conditions for upgrading the Dao Seed are still unclear!"

This is also the first time Zhang Yu has encountered a Level 2 Dao Seed since he opened the Dao Seed Compendium of the Feather Scroll!

At the same time, Zhang Yu recalled his experience using the True Spirit Root on the first floor!

"Adaptability is a characteristic of True Spirit Root!"

"I wonder what changes will occur after it evolves into Divine Spiritual Root?"

Next, under Fu Ji's expectant gaze, Zhang Yu began to cultivate using the Divine Spiritual Root!

The training content is very simple. He has mastered more than 10 Level 20 Cultivation Method, and it is easy for him to choose any 10 to practice!

"We need to finish this before A-Zhen leaves Ten Thousand Laws University, so time is quite tight!"

"Fortunately, I now have Multiple Minds, so it's not like I'm without a chance!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu hurriedly circulated his Cultivation Method Cultivation Method to nourish the Azure Lotus Sword Embryo, while simultaneously experiencing the wondrous effects of the Divine Spiritual Root!

The next night, at the construction site!

While massaging Ying Xin, Yu Xinghan said, "There seem to be so many more people on the streets today!"

"And they're all students from other universities!"

Ying Xin said, "It's because of the Flying Sword Competition! This year's competition is being held at our school, and students from many universities and even Junior College are here. Of course there are a lot of people!"

At the same time, a lot of information kept flashing in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains, all of which were discussions about the Flying Sword Competition in various groups!

However, Zhang Yu glanced around and realized that most of the conversations were just casual chats; none of the people he knew seemed to be participating in the Flying Sword Competition!

"That's true. The skill barrier for flying swords is too high. Most of those who can participate in inter-school competitions are upperclassmen!"

"But A-Zhen is only a sophomore, and she can participate in this competition. It seems that she has made great progress under the guidance of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord!"

Just then, Zhang Yu saw screenshots of the opening ceremony in many group chats!

"Has the opening ceremony started yet?" Zhang Yu started looking for a live stream of the opening ceremony, randomly clicking on one to watch. He saw teams of university representatives entering the venue one after another!

There's a team from Heavenly Demon University that only sent one player to the competition!

The Vajra University team, whose members were all covered in Dharma Skeleton, looked like statues!

There was also the Joyous Union University team, whose strength impressed Zhang Yu and made him look serious!

As each team entered the stadium, the live broadcast host would occasionally introduce the players!

However, Zhang Yu didn't recognize any of these contestants from other schools, and he didn't pay much attention to the host's introductions.

Heaven Sword University team took the stage, Zhang Yu's eyes immediately locked onto Bai Zhenzhen!

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen was wearing a white and gold racing suit, looking heroic and exuding an unprecedented sharp aura!

Her originally long black hair has now turned platinum, and it even radiates layers of sword light!

The host introduced, "Bai Zhenzhen from Heaven Sword University. If you've been following the flying competitions in the last six months, you should have noticed her!"

"As the Direct Disciple of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, Bai Zhenzhen's progress is astonishing, making her a favorite to be among the top ten in this competition!"

"Look at her hair, the reason it has color is because it constantly exudes the Essence Metal Qi!"

"It is said that every single strand of hair on her head has been refined by the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, and when needed, each strand can transform into a Essence Gold Flying Sword to be controlled!"

At the same time, Zhang Yu discovered that screenshots and discussions about Bai Zhenzhen had appeared in several group chats!

Someone posted a screenshot of Bai Zhenzhen in the class group, expressing their envy and amazement at the Nascent Soul disciples!

Even Ji Yuan Shu couldn't help but show longing in his eyes as he looked at Bai Zhenzhen's introduction. "A Nascent Soul disciple... just that long hair alone is worth more than 90% of the students at Ten Thousand Laws University!"

"With money to this extent, her Luck. Just being friends with her can improve your Luck!"

In the Songyang Fellow Villagers Group, many students tagged Zhang Yu, wanting to inquire about Bai Zhenzhen's situation, but Zhang Yu ignored them all. Qian Shen from Tianhai University asked, "@Zhang Yu, do you know what Bai Zhenzhen's Comprehensive Score is now?"

Seeing that Zhang Yu hadn't responded in the group chat, Zhao Tianxing thought, "Is Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's relationship not as good as it used to be? Just like me now, my relationship with Zhang Yu is definitely not as good as it was in high school!"

Should I go ask him about it? Or try to comfort him?

"Let's forget about it. If his relationship with Bai Zhenzhen really cools down, and I go to ask him, won't he think I'm laughing at him? Wouldn't that make him even more unhappy? And my relationship with him will only get worse."

"Sigh, that's how university is. It widens the gap between university students like the difference between humans and ghosts. Old classmates are drifting further and further apart!"

Zhao Tianxing still remembers that at the beginning, the Fellow Villagers Group was filled with 999+ messages every day, but as time went by, no one sent messages for several days now. If Bai Zhenzhen hadn't suddenly become famous, the group wouldn't have suddenly become so lively!

In the Civil Engineering Competition group!

Ying Xin: Only a sophomore and already in the top ten? Even for a disciple of the Nascent Soul stage, that's too exaggerated!

Gongshu Jin: That's a Nascent Soul cultivator, and the issuer of the Seven Emotions Coin.

Xiao Qingxuan: With this level of wealth, one can change the world in the blink of an eye; there's not much one can't accomplish.

Che Yufei: Sigh, if I could become a Nascent Soul disciple, I would be willing to give up everything I own.

Shi Yunxiang: How about we become Bai Zhenzhen's disciples? If we could become her apprentices, wouldn't we be grand-disciples of the Nascent Soul stage?

Shi Huaiyu: It's not that easy.

A Nascent Soul disciple is definitely surrounded by heavy protection, and ordinary people have no way of getting close to them.

Shi Huaiyu; before she even got close, she would be kicked out by the teacher in charge.

Che Yufei: How did you know?

Shi Huaiyu: I went to their dormitory yesterday and tried it.

Yu Xinghan looked at the chat history and suddenly found that Zhang Yu had sent him a message, asking him to keep their acquaintance with Bai Zhenzhen a secret for the time being!

Aside from Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu, though unsure how much Li Xiao knew about his relationship with Bai Zhenzhen, still sent a message reminding him not to say too much!

Yu Xinghan replied: Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!

At the same time, Yu Xinghan sighed inwardly, "Sigh, I was hoping to try and get a chance to film an interview with Bai Zhenzhen, but it seems that's not going to happen now!"

"However, the gap between Bai Zhenzhen and us is just too big now!"

"Zhang Yu asked me to keep our relationship a secret, perhaps it was Bai Zhenzhen's idea!"

"After all, they are Nascent Soul disciples, and every move they make is important. If they don't want people to know about their relationship with us, then we can only go along with it!"

Yu Xinghan knew very well that although they were friends in high school, the gap between them was too big now. Whether or not he could get the other party's care depended entirely on the other party's wishes, and he couldn't force it!

"Huh?" Just then, Yu Xinghan suddenly realized that Zhang Yu was nowhere to be seen on the construction site!

Where are they?

"No more overtime?"

This was the first time Yu Xinghan had ever seen Zhang Yu leave halfway through his overtime work!

"It seems Bai Zhenzhen has had a significant influence on him!"

After the opening ceremony!

In a hidden corner on the 66th Layer!

Zhang Yu held Bai Zhenzhen in his arms and returned the True Spirit Root to her!

In an instant, Bai Zhenzhen trembled violently. "Yu Zi... you... you slow down..."

She exclaimed in surprise, "How could I... feel so out of place?"

Zhang Yu said, "After all, we haven't switched True Spirit Root in a long time, and the differences between us are huge. Not only am I not used to the changes you bring, but you certainly aren't used to the changes I bring either!"

"Therefore, the adaptation process of True Spirit Root is particularly intense, and the reaction is also particularly strong!"

"A-Zhen, just bear with it a little longer, we can't delay any longer, you have a competition soon!"

"Um!"

Bai Zhenzhen frowned slightly, nodded, and said, "Let's continue!"

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling, as she felt her True Spirit Root return to her dantian!

At the same time, a powerful stimulus emanated from True Spirit and spread throughout her body, bringing about all sorts of incredible changes!
