Songyang High School.
Inside the classroom.
Campus life remained peaceful, and students' enthusiasm for learning was as high as ever.
The Chinese teacher stood on the podium, effortlessly explaining the text, while below, some students were practicing martial arts, some were meditating, some were applying medicine, and some had even started fighting... It was practical combat training.
This is the classroom atmosphere in Key High School.
High school freshmen might have been more restrained at the beginning of the semester because of their middle school habits, but now that half a year has passed, they've all revealed their true colors Immortal Dao superstars.
The Chinese teacher didn't take it seriously. After all, whether it was boxing, meditation, or hitting people, taking medicine, using drugs, or other forms of Immortal Dao cultivation, all of those were far more important than her mere Chinese class, as long as the students didn't come and hit her.
As far as she knew, the General Knowledge Class teachers at Songyang High School were already considered to have some status. For example, her classmate who went to teach at White Dragon High School was always used by the school leaders to educate students: If you don't get into a good university in the Gaokao examination, you will be just as useless as the high school Chinese teacher.
Thinking of this, the Chinese teacher sighed inwardly, "Sigh, if it weren't for the requirements from the sect and the Municipal Government, Key High School would probably have already cut the time for General Knowledge Class to nothing."
Just then, the Chinese teacher heard someone's cell phone ringing.
She finally couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to speak up to remind him, "Classmate, please put your phone on vibrate during Chinese class so as not to disturb the other students studying."
But when the Chinese teacher looked up, she discovered that the phone belonged to Zhang Yu.
Although she was just a teacher of a General Knowledge Class, she had already heard a great deal about this prominent figure on campus.
She had heard of all sorts of nicknames for Zhang Yu, such as "High School Demon," "Songyang School Scoundrel," "Impure Roots," and "Gigolo."
I heard that the other person won first place in the Martial Arts Competition last night, and no one dared to bother them if they were two minutes late for school today.
Knowing that the other person had the backing of White Dragon woman named Bailong, and was capable of going against the Student Union council, how could she, a mere General Knowledge Class teacher, dare to care whether the other person's phone was vibrating or not?
So the Chinese teacher quickly lowered her head, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
Zhang Yu was practicing his inner cultivation to improve his Dao Heart when he picked up his phone and discovered that the prize money from the Martial Arts Competition had already been deposited into his account.
"Although the amount of money was a bit small, the money arrived quite quickly."
Although 50,000 yuan arrived, after repaying 40,000 yuan to Zhang Pianpian and paying back the meal expenses borrowed from Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing, Zhang Yu had less than 10,000 yuan left in his account.
Zhang Yu knew that Bai Zhenzhen's fourth-place prize was 10,000 yuan, and the amount in her account was probably about the same as his own.
But Zhang Yu felt a little annoyed when he thought about how next month would be in two weeks, and he would have to pay loan interest, rent, utilities, and so on.
"Oh right, I also need to buy new Weighted Suit. If Body Tempering for the next two months, my daily food expenses will probably go up..."
The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more he realized there were many places where he would have to spend money.
"Fortunately, Song Hailong will have some income."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the classroom, Bai Zhenzhen also received news that her bonus had been credited to her account.
In addition, she also received a message from Zhang Pianpian.
Zhang Pianpian: You probably don't use your Spirit Root very often, so you're not very skilled at it, right? Otherwise, you should be able to go much further in Martial Arts Competition.
Zhang Pianpian: From now on, just rent Spirit Root every day. Just say that I invested money in you to let you rent them.
Zhang Pianpian: Evolutionary Spirit Root; the more she uses it, the stronger she becomes.
Upon seeing the message from Zhang Pianpian, Bai Zhenzhen was first startled, then immediately realized. "She figured out I have Spirit Root?"
"She's trying to cover for my use of Spirit Root?"
Bai Zhenzhen was very aware of the condition of her Spirit Root, and she would secretly use Spirit Root to cultivate every day after returning home.
However, because she was always worried about being discovered to possess this "treasure," she never dared to use this Spirit Root to assist her cultivation in public places like the school.
After all, if this kind of thing got out, the sheer number of bank mortgages, casino sales, and fraudsters would drive her crazy, not to mention what wealthy people would think.
So when Zhang Pianpian saw through her, Bai Zhenzhen's first feeling was an instinctive fear, a fear that had accumulated deep within her since childhood, just like being discovered after ten years of constipation.
However, thinking about Zhang Pianpian's care during this time, the sibling relationship between Yu Zi and Zhang Pianpian, the fact that the other party frankly revealed his identity as a fake tycoon, and the other party's score of 699, Bai Zhenzhen gradually calmed down.
"Zhang Pianpian should be someone I can trust, right?"
Then she thought... if she could use Zhang Pianpian's name to justify renting Spirit Root every day, she could openly use Spirit Root to cultivate at school every day.
"In this way, I can use my Spirit Root to cultivate for at least ten more hours each day."
"The next competition won't be this frustrating."
Looking back on the Martial Arts Competition, although Bai Zhenzhen came in fourth place, she always felt a sense of frustration, a kind of discomfort that her attempt to show off was cut short.
Because her stats in all aspects were inferior to those of her rivals from the Three Great High Schools, and because her bank account balance was lower, she was always more hesitant in her attacks, and in the end, she even had to admit defeat.
Now that she can make better use of her Spirit Root for cultivation, she immediately has more confidence in catching up with those top students from prestigious universities.
"Yu Zi stole the show in this competition, but next time it'll be my turn."
"Although it would be good if my son won first place, it would be most satisfying to beat him and win the championship myself."
During physical education class, the smell of sweat and the aroma of medicine mingled together, creating a unique scent characteristic of Songyang Immortal Dao.
The clanging of machinery and the groans of people echoed continuously—the sounds of students struggling on Immortal Dao path to immortality.
But some people glanced at Bai Zhenzhen not far away, sensing the Spiritual Energy surging in the air, their minds filled with different thoughts.
Some people were envious. "Zhang Pianpian is too good to Bai Zhenzhen, renting out Spirit Root for her every day!"
Someone had an idea. "I can love White Dragon too, I want to be Zhang Pianpian's dog!"
Some people had wild thoughts. "Bai Zhenzhen became Zhang Pianpian's dog and can rent out Spirit Root every day. If I became Bai Zhenzhen's dog, I wonder if she could lend me her Spirit Root for an hour every day?"
On the other side, Zhang Yu was not diligently training his body like his classmates. Instead, he went to a small room and began studying the new Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand he had learned the day before.
After all, the 24-hour cooldown period for switching Feather Scroll's Specialization to this grappling technique yesterday hadn't ended yet, and this practical Martial Arts was the only one he could quickly improve upon.
"Let's practice a bit while we're at it. We'll switch to Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi after the cooldown period ends tonight."
Zhang Yu's hands created afterimages as he began practicing the Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand.
Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand Level 2 (4/20)
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
This martial art, which relies purely on physical violence, has a total of eighteen moves. Although there are quite a few moves, each move is very short and concise. They are all methods of breaking bones, knocking people to the ground, and binding and grappling them in an instant.
The art of grappling and throwing emphasizes speed and ferocity. On average, each move takes less than a second. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu had completed the entire set of Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand.
Reflecting on the several sets of practical martial arts he had previously practiced, Zhang Yu sighed, "Practical martial arts moves often require simplicity and speed, so it's very fast to learn a set."
Zhang Yu understood that without this, he would not have been able to learn or even surpass Song Hailong's Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand on the ring.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yu felt a jolt in his mind, and countless experiences with the Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand technique surfaced, raising the Martial Arts from Level 2 to Level 3.
"At this rate of training, I should be able to raise my Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand to Level 10 today."
While Zhang Yu was diligently practicing Martial Arts in his small room, Sports Teacher Wang Hai called five students, including Qian Shen, He Dayou, and Zhao Tianxing, aside.
"The school plans to select a group of promising students from the first year of high school to join the Physical Competition Team for training."
"Are the five of you willing to go?"
Before anyone else could react, Qian Shen asked directly, "Just the five of us? Aren't Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen coming?"
Wang Hai said, "The school leaders feel that they both need to mature further."
Qian Shen asked, puzzled, "They got first and second place in the grade in the Monthly Exam exam, and they still need to consolidate their scores? Why were we selected?"
Wang Hai couldn't possibly say that everything was because of the Student Union council, so he had to come up with another reason.
"Because they are too poor."
Seeing the five people pause slightly, Wang Hai continued, "They can't even afford the tutoring and nutrition fees for the Competition Team Competition Team, how can they participate?"
Not only did the other four people find it perfectly acceptable, but even Qian Shen was speechless.
Especially when he thought about how Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had to borrow money from him to buy dinner, he realized that their financial situation must be terrible.
After recruiting the five into the Physical Competition Team, Wang Hai also brought Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen over.
"Your application for Physical Competition has been rejected again."
Wang Hai looked at the two of them with some regret. "You should both know what really happened."
Wang Hai had previously thought Zhang Yu was Golden Core Disciple, but after Zhang Pianpian came to Songyang High School to support Zhang Yu and clashed with the Student Union, he became somewhat uncertain again.
Regardless of whose tutelage Zhang Yu was under, Wang Hai could sense that Zhang Yu possessed extraordinary talent and the potential to compete for rankings in Physical Competition.
He thought to himself, "It's a pity the Student Union doesn't give them a chance at all."
Hearing what Wang Hai said, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen naturally understood that the Student Union must have been behind this.
Wang Hai continued, "However, you are not entirely without a chance. If your physical education grades can remain in the top five of your grade after a month, you can represent the school in Physical Competition."
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged a strange glance, a sense of doubt rising in their hearts.
Seemingly understanding their confusion, Wang Hai continued, "The school selected five students from the first year of high school to join the Physical Competition Team."
"If you can maintain a top-five ranking in sports performance in a month, you will be able to represent the school in Physical Competition."
Now Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen understood. It was clear that the Student Union believed that after these five students joined the Competition Team and received training, they would be able to completely surpass the two of them in terms of athletic performance.
Seeing the burning fighting spirit in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, Wang Hai sighed inwardly.
As the Ace Physical Education Teacher at Songyang High School, he knew all too well the methods for training Competition Team.
"The so-called opportunity to compare them a month later is just an excuse given by the Student Union so that they can legitimately squeeze Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen out of the competition, leaving Zhang Pianpian with nothing to say."
"Given Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's rate of progress, their Physical Strength will reach a maximum of 2.1 or even 2.2 in a month."
"But the Competition Team, through Special Training Program, could raise He Dayou and the others' Physical Strength to over 3.0 in just one month."
"This has nothing to do with talent; it's purely a huge gap in Immortal Dao Technique. If Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were to join the Special Training Program, their improvement within a month would probably be even greater..."
Because he knew all this so well, Wang Hai knew that... after Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen failed to be selected for the Special Training Program, they actually had no chance to catch up with the members of the Competition Team in terms of Physical Strength, let alone participate in Physical Competition.
