Filming and Teaching He Dayou a Lesson

Several days after the Martial Arts Competition ended, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen finally received an advertisement—a group advertisement featuring all the contestants.

Walking down the street, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Did you hear what Song Hailong said yesterday? Why is it that he, who came in third place, has already received individual advertisements, while we only received one group advertisement?"

Bai Zhenzhen pouted and said, "I asked around, and the reason is probably... it's been half a year since school started, and we'll be in our second year of high school in another six months."

"Because they're afraid our reputation will collapse, no one is asking us to shoot personal advertisements."

Hearing Bai Zhenzhen's answer, Zhang Yu felt completely bewildered. "A collapse? How could our reputation collapse? Are you worried we'll mess with our fans?"

Bai Zhenzhen glanced at Zhang Yu and said matter-of-factly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Playing with fans is nothing to worry about. They're just worried that our grades will drop drastically after we enter the second year of high school, since we're poor, after all."

Zhang Yu instantly understood: the Kunxu academic star's downfall was due to a drop in grades—that made sense.

But then he got angry again. "Does being poor mean you're destined to have your house collapse in your second year of high school?"

"We're already poor enough, but it's actually harder for us to make money than for rich people like Song Hailong. He can get personal ads, but we can't."

"By the way, why did they ask us to shoot group ads again? Aren't they afraid we'll cause property damage?"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu as if he were an idiot. "Are you stupid? If we cause a housing collapse in the group advertisement, can't you just cut us out?"

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at a photography studio and saw that many familiar faces from the Three Great High Schools had already arrived.

But at this moment, all of these people were intentionally or unintentionally glancing at a boy, a boy surrounded by more than a dozen staff members.

Bai Zhenzhen asked curiously, "Who is that? They've got quite the grand entrance."

Zhang Yu also felt curious. "Wasn't this a group advertisement filmed by the top eight in the Martial Arts Competition? This person doesn't seem to be one of them, does he?"

Lian Tianji emerged from behind the two and said, "That's Yu Xinghan, the closed-door disciple that Spark True Person found in another city. He should be transferring to White Dragon High School soon."

Looking at the young man surrounded by assistants, makeup artists, directors, and others, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes flickered. "Spark True Person? You mean the Golden Core who was optimized?"

Lian Tianji nodded upon hearing this. "According to Spark True Person, this Yu Xinghan will be his last disciple, inheriting all his mantle and wealth, and the future top scorer in the Gaokao examination of Songyang City."

"Because of his reputation as Golden Core Disciple and such high praise, he was brought in by the Xianyun Corporation to shoot an advertisement together."

"Look at Song Hailong, hehe... his eyes are practically spitting fire. After all, Yu Xinghan is transferring to White Dragon High School, and he'll inevitably be competing with Song Hailong for the top spot in the grade."

Looking at Song Hailong, Zhang Yu felt as if he were looking at a stressed tabby cat, its back arched, its fur bristling, staring intently at Yu Xinghan.

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Then Yu Xinghan will participate in the upcoming competitions as well, right?"

Lian Tianji nodded. "Of course, this person is probably a strong contender for the championship in the next Physical Competition." In his gaze toward Yu Xinghan, a hint of fighting spirit also ignited.

Just as Lian Tianji was talking with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

A gaze was fixed intently on the location of the three.

The gaze belonged to Le Mulan, who came from Ziyun High School.

Originally Le Mulan had no interest in this kind of advertising shoot, but since the Golden Core Disciple Yu Xinghan would also be participating, she was still curious about this Golden Core Disciple.

Secondly... it's because they are the only two poor people among these competition participants, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

As she watched the two of them, Le Mulan thought to herself, "I've been seeing his photos on Moments every day lately, and I don't feel as disgusted as before. This is a good opportunity to take things further."

But the thought of having to come into contact with Zhang Yu made Le Mulan involuntarily conjure up an image of him sitting on her, his dirty, hot, and smelly blood splattered all over her, giving her goosebumps.

"Forget it, let's start with the simplest one."

"Anyway, we'll have to get close to them during the actual filming later."

So Le Mulan silently observed the two of them, her gaze constantly shifting in their direction.

The next part of the filming involved the contestants recommending the tutoring institution Xianyun Corporation.

During filming, people kept trying to get close to Yu Xinghan and add him as a friend, making Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen experience firsthand how sought-after a true Golden Core Disciple was.

As for the central position of the entire advertisement, it was completely occupied by Yu Xinghan, surrounded by other contestants, like green leaves surrounding a flower in the middle.

However, those who excel in Martial Dao, such as Zhang Yu, Le Mulan, and Song Hailong, are like the leaves and foliage beside the flowers, while Bai Zhenzhen, who ranks fourth, is like the roots and stems beneath the leaves. Lian Tianji, who ranks even lower, is like the mud beneath the flowers.

According to the director, the words "Golden Core True Person's Closed-Domain Disciple" will fill the entire screen, making him the absolute protagonist...

During filming, Zhang Yu sensed that Le Mulan, who was standing next to him, was acting strangely. She would sometimes take deep breaths, and sometimes tremble slightly, finally prompting him to ask, "What are you doing?" Seeing Zhang Yu turn around, Le Mulan couldn't help but take a step back. "You... I'm fine, it's none of your business."

Zhang Yu cursed him inwardly as a lunatic and then ignored him.

Le Mulan covered her nose, thinking to herself, "He smells awful... Is this what Mom meant by the subway smell of poor people?"

"It was definitely the right decision to come this time; I'm slowly getting used to it."

After four hours of filming, Zhang Yu received 30,000 yuan, while Bai Zhenzhen received 8,000 yuan, and they went home.

However, not long after arriving home, Zhang Yu's newly acquired 30,000 yuan turned into Primordial Pill, which he swallowed whole.

Feeling the violent medicinal power coursing through his body, Zhang Yu immediately seized the time to begin cultivating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

As the medicinal power of the Primordial Pill spread throughout his limbs and bones, Zhang Yu felt as if his muscles, internal organs, and even bones were receiving sweet rain after a long drought. As he circulated his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, he began to frantically absorb the medicinal power.

It took a full half hour for the effects of the medicine to slowly dissipate from his body.

But Zhang Yu knew that the medicinal effects hadn't really disappeared; rather, they had been temporarily absorbed into his muscles, internal organs, and bones.

Although Zhang Yu had not yet felt any increase in his Physical Strength, he felt energetic and vigorous, with inexhaustible strength throughout his body.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

He knew that over the next few days, the medicinal power he had inhaled would continue to take effect, enhancing the cultivation of his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi and further strengthening his Physical Strength.

He immediately began cultivating the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

As the entire night passed, Zhang Yu frantically cultivated the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi. He would lie down almost as soon as he was exhausted, but when the Ritual urged him on, he would stand up and continue training, knowing that he could train again.

Under such extreme training, his Physical Strength also increased from level 1.67 to Level 70.

"What a fine pill! It truly is a fine pill. There's a reason it's so expensive."

So over the next few days, Zhang Yu seized every minute to continuously cultivate the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, trying his best to continue improving his Physical Strength before the medicinal effects completely dissipated.

Zhang Yu sometimes couldn't help but sigh, "Kunxu, you really turned people into ghosts. I've actually rolled myself up, and I haven't heard any of the Ritual screams for three days straight."

During this training process, Zhang Yu could feel his body getting stronger little by little, almost every moment.

"After all, unleashing the full power of Level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi is something that, normally speaking, only a top high school senior could achieve."

"Now it's being used to improve my Physical Strength of 1.7, which is like a max-level player returning to the starting village to level up. It's truly a vigorous and rapid improvement."

In just three days, as the effects of the medicine wore off, his Physical Strength increased rapidly, rising from Level 70 1.70 to level 1.87.

At this moment, Zhang Yu stood in the classroom, feeling the effects of the medicine being completely drained. He sighed inwardly and felt an even stronger craving for money.

"In Kunxu... you really can't get by without money."

Just as he was thinking this, the voice of Lei Jun, the instructor of the Practical Combat Class, came over, interrupting Zhang Yu, who was still lost in thought.

"Zhang Yu, He Dayou, you two will spar together."

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. He had almost always been assigned to Bai Zhenzhen's group during Practical Combat Class, so why was he in He Dayou's group this time?

A King-level player beating a stubborn Bronze player? What does Old Lei mean by that?

Lei Jun's meaning was simple: he wanted Zhang Yu to teach He Dayou a lesson, simply He Dayou's recent performance in the Practical Combat Class had been too arrogant.

"Relying on their drastically increased Physical Strength, they charged around recklessly, completely disregarding the combat skills I taught them."

Therefore, Lei Jun sent his general Zhang Yu to teach the enemy the importance of combat skills and martial arts.

He Dayou approached Zhang Yu with a grim face, thinking to himself, "After this period of implantation and adaptation training, my Physical Strength should already far surpass Zhang Yu's. However, this kid's combat ability is too strong..."

Just as He Dayou was making his plans, he saw Zhang Yu strike with a palm.

He instinctively reached out to block, only to find that Zhang Yu had grabbed his hand and was now struggling against him.

"What!" He Dayou was first startled, then overjoyed. "You actually dare to compete with me in strength now?"

He Dayou also grabbed at his opponent with his other hand. Their hands clashed, and with the collision of their magical powers, they each unleashed their inner strength.

He Dayou out a loud shout and tried to lift Zhang Yu up and throw him out of bounds.

But the next moment, He Dayou felt that the other's hands were as firm as a rock, and they did not budge even when he exerted his strength.
