Inside the cafeteria.

Zhang Yu looked at Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing with suspicion, wondering why the two of them looked like they had failed an exam.

What's wrong with you two?

When Zhang Yu asked curiously, neither Qian Shen nor Zhao Tianxing could answer, because they had both signed confidentiality agreements and could not disclose any information about the Special Training Program.

Zhao Tianxing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just... the Competition Team is under a lot of pressure."

At the same time, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "He Dayou and the others started the transplant surgery yesterday. Their Physical Strength will increase dramatically from now on, right?"

"Although Yu Zi and A-Zhen are highly talented, they cannot possibly surpass the school's Immortal Dao Technique."

"So, the path to Immortal Dao... is money really the most important thing after all?"

During physical education class that day.

He Dayou, Physical Strength level 1.56

Li Xianglu, Physical Strength level 1.55

Wang Wenjie, Physical Strength level 1.53

Overnight, He Dayou two underwent transplant surgery and each experienced significant improvement.

Watching the three of them effortlessly manipulate various instruments and the Physical Strength test data, the surrounding students couldn't help but show envy.

"Physical Competition truly live up to their reputation as Songyang's flagship event; He Dayou and his team are progressing incredibly fast."

"He's already this good after just one day? Teacher Wang Hai is truly amazing!"

But He Dayou wasn't interested in what his classmates were saying. He turned to look for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, only to find that they hadn't come to PE class at all, and Zhang Yu wasn't even in the small room next door.

"Hmph, it's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." He Dayou seemed to already see his Physical Strength increasing dramatically every day over the next month, eventually crushing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen under his feet.

"I will improve at an increasingly faster pace until my Physical Strength approaches that of a second-year high school student."

"My score will eventually surpass yours."

Where did Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen go?

Both of them have already asked Wang Hai if they could skip physical education class.

Zhang Yu's thought was: My Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi is improving rapidly, so I should practice it in seclusion to avoid being seen by others.

Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself: My Spirit Root has too many functions. Since I already have the reputation of renting out Spirit Root, I don't need to worry about attracting attention. So I might as well practice by myself to avoid being noticed by too many people.

So it was on the school rooftop.

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in front of him and laughed, "A-Zhen, what a coincidence, you don't have PE class either?"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu in front of her and smiled as well, "Yu Zi, what a coincidence, you're also practicing your skills on the rooftop?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A-Zhen has probably unlocked her powers. She just doesn't want anyone to notice, so she comes to the rooftop alone to practice."

Bai Zhenzhen to himself, "Yu Zi probably didn't close the door. He's probably trying to secretly practice his skills and hide his strength so he can show off a lot a month later, which is why he came to the rooftop?"

Zhang Yu laughed, "Then let's practice together on the rooftop."

Bai Zhenzhen laughed too, "Yeah, let's practice together, let's practice together."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A-Zhen is still trustworthy. This time, I'll let her see my talent and make this guy completely submit."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself, "After all, mother and son don't hide their secrets. I've endured this for over a decade, and finally, I can find someone to show off my amazing potential. Hahaha, I can already see Yu Zi's envious and jealous expression."

The two exchanged a smile, then each went to the side and began cultivating separately.

So on the rooftop, Zhang Yu began to diligently practice the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

He stood still, his body trembling repeatedly, gradually emitting a booming sound, like waves crashing against rocks.

Bai Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at Zhang Yu, whose face and hands were gradually turning red due to the surging of Qi and Blood, and was startled.

Then, filled with jealousy, she thought, "Could this be that Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi? Has Yu Zi already mastered it? Has he started using this Cultivation Method to Body Tempering?"

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly felt that the Spirit Root in her stomach no longer tasted good.

She felt as if she had been woken up in the middle of the night by her classmate's Breath Circulation.

This morning I saw a classmate secretly eating the leftover medicine packets.

During PE class, I noticed that a classmate had several more needle marks on their arm than usual.

Bai Zhenzhen quickly released the restraints on her Spirit Root and prepared to begin Body Tempering.

"How can hoping your son will show off compare to hoping your partner will show off?"

"Keep surpassing him! My Physical Strength must remain above Yu Zi's next month!"

Having said that, she released the restraints on her Spirit Root and began to Body Tempering.

After practicing for more than ten times, Zhang Yu felt a wave of weakness in his body, so he decided to sit down and rest for a while, and took out the energy drink he had prepared to drink a few sips.

"No wonder it's an energy drink I got from White Dragon High School; free stuff is always better."

Just then, sensing the unusual Spiritual Energy in the air, he turned to look in Bai Zhenzhen's direction.

He then saw that Bai Zhenzhen was also cultivating a Body Refining Cultivation Method. Zhang Yu couldn't tell what kind of Cultivation Method it was, but he could vaguely feel wisps of Spiritual Energy flowing into Bai Zhenzhen's body, seemingly nourishing her flesh and blood.

"Is this the effect of Spirit Root? Like Muscle Growth Spiritual Root, something that can enhance the physical body?" Zhang Yu thought with envy, "Having Spirit Root is so awesome, I must ask A-Zhen to borrow one to play with sometime."

Then Zhang Yu discovered another anomaly.

With his experience of mastering multiple Martial Arts at Level 10, he was able to detect subtle differences in the variations of other people's moves.

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen at this moment, Zhang Yu felt that her Body Refining Cultivation Method had been significantly adjusted with each repetition, making it feel more comfortable and pleasant, as if Bai Zhenzhen had naturally adapted to this Body Refining Cultivation Method.

"Does A-Zhen make adjustments and improvements with each repetition when she practices martial arts?"

It sounded ordinary, but upon closer examination, Zhang Yu sensed its power.

Zhang Yu was startled. "Isn't this like my Feather Scroll, where Cultivation Method can also improve rapidly?"

"She wasn't this powerful when she was practicing before, was she?"

"They really did open it secretly!"

The thought that the other person had been secretly working hard behind his back was so compelling that Zhang Yu, after resting for a while, got up and continued to push himself to cultivate the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

So in the time that followed, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen each devoted themselves to Body Tempering, focusing on keeping each other company.

After the bell rang, Zhang Yu had already raised his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to level 7 (15/70). He felt his muscles and viscera moving as he practiced his Qi, and they were being tempered as he circulated his internal organs, producing strange sounds of internal organ movement.

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen was sweating profusely, her rosy cheeks dripping with sweat. She felt her muscles growing and strengthening under the catalysis of her Spirit Root.

As the bell rang, the two exchanged a smile.

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Impressive, A-Zhen."

Bai Zhenzhen smiled and said, "You're not bad either, Yu Zi."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm not taking a shower today, I'm going straight to training! I must raise my Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to Level 10."

Bai Zhenzhen secretly vowed, "I'm not going to poop when I get back today, damn it, I'm going to fuck this body until dawn!"

So over the next few days, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen made the most of their time, wandering through one deserted corner of the campus after another, leaving behind pools of sweat and frantically squeezing every drop of blood and flesh from their bodies.

During physical education class, He Dayou was excited to see his Physical Strength increasing every day, but he was also slightly disappointed time and time again because he didn't see Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

But he endured it all.

He kept telling himself, "Isn't this the result I expected?"

"Talented poor people may be better at the beginning, but in the end they will lose to the rich."

"After the transplant was completed, as the newly implanted muscles continued to fuse with my body, my Physical Strength is now increasing rapidly every day."

"The later Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen witness my power firsthand, the more desperate the gap between us will feel."

With a hint of anticipation, He Dayou continued to train diligently during physical education class.

During the same physical education class, Zhao Tianxing, who was not far away, secretly observed He Dayou, his eyes always filled with a hint of envy and hesitation.

"Qian Shen has withdrawn, indicating he will not participate in the Competition Team, Lan Ling has selected another student to join."

"But... should I cancel my order too?"

"I don't like this way of improving scores, but He Dayou are improving their Physical Strength really fast. At this rate... I'll never be able to catch up with them."

But the thought that his parents were planning to sell their house to help him get into the Competition Team made Zhao Tianxing hesitate again.

In the grove of trees before school ended that day.

Zhang Yu sat cross-legged, his entire body constantly emitting white steam in the cold wind, which was the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi that he had advanced to Level 10 in his cultivation.

At this moment, all his muscles, internal organs, and bone marrow were being mobilized, and he was being tempered through repeated exertion of his strength.

In addition, there is the effect after the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi reaches Level 10.

Zhang Yu's physical structure became more rational and perfect, with every muscle and tendon on his body fitting together seamlessly, like intricately constructed parts perfectly assembled.

The adjustment to his physical structure after Level 10 caused his Physical Strength to surge instantly. Combined with the arduous training of the past few days, his Physical Strength increased to level 1.67.

In addition, his digestive ability and metabolic rate were improved.

Zhang Yu feels like he's constantly hungry, as if every inch of his body is starving.

"The daily food cost has risen to over 600 yuan. This Body Tempering is really expensive!"

Even so, Zhang Yu could feel that his body was still unsatisfied.

"Isn't it time to take some pills?"

The Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi can be used in conjunction with elixirs to Body Tempering, but the elixirs used in conjunction with it are called Primordial Pill, which Zhang Yu saw online and cost 30,000 yuan per pill.

"Damn it... Purple Cloud Pharmaceutical Company is robbing us!"

With both the skyrocketing cost of food and the increasing demand for elixirs, Zhang Yu felt increasingly short of money.

Although Zhang Yu gave Song Hailong another tutoring session yesterday and received another 5,000 yuan, he still felt that the less than 16,000 yuan balance in his account was not enough.

Fortunately, another opportunity to make money has come today.

As the school bell rang, Bai Zhenzhen finished her workout and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, "Let's go, Yu Zi, time to shoot the commercial."
