In the middle of Unfinished Building.

Zhang Yu stood silently in the empty hall, repeatedly experiencing in his mind the effects of reaching Level 10 with his Excavation Palm.

"With that one palm strike, my control over the Shovel Bucket Force has deepened, and the range I can shovel down has probably doubled?"

Zhang Yu struck out with his palm again, the Shovel Bucket Force creating a whistling sound in the air as it slowly blasted forward.

"Although this Excavation Palm can unleash great power, the pre-attack animation is too long, and the movements are too slow and lack agility, so it is indeed not suitable for combat."

"It's not very useful if you don't go to the construction site."

He shook his head helplessly, knowing that these martial Cultivation Method wouldn't help his Gaokao scores.

"It doesn't matter, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood."

"As long as it helps me earn more money, I'm willing to waste some time practicing these Martial Arts."

But now that Zhang Yu has already mastered the Excavation Palm Cultivation Method to Level 10, Zhang Yu naturally won't continue practicing it.

Since the cooldown period for the Feather Scroll had not yet passed, he continued to cultivate the Level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, striving to improve his Physical Strength.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these five days, Zhang Yu not only trained his Excavation Palm and Sports Car Legs techniques to Level 10, but he also bought the Crane Claw and Elevator Leap and trained them to Level 10.

With the expenses for food, transportation, and other things over the past five days, Zhang Yu's savings kept decreasing. Fortunately, he gave Song Hailong two more lessons, which helped Zhang Yu maintain his savings at over 15,000 yuan.

At this moment, Zhang Yu asked Zhang Pianpian for another Stealth Talisman, then used his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi to change his form before embarking on his journey to the trial class.

Unlike last time when he arrived by running, this time Zhang Yu used the "Sports Car Legs" Cultivation Method while traveling.

His body was filled with a roaring magical power, which made a buzzing sound like a car engine.

With the infusion of magic power, he swung his legs at high speed, leaving a trail of afterimages as he sped away.

"Compared to the Excavation Palm and Crane Claw Cultivation Method, the Sports Car Legs and Elevator Leap are much more useful."

Thinking about how the Excavation Palm could scoop up twice as much material after Level 10, and how the Crane Claw could lift heavy objects with both claws at Level 10... Zhang Yu felt speechless.

"Like the Excavation Palm, it has a long wind-up and slow movements, making it unsuitable for combat. It's more suitable for hard work and is like a beast of Cultivation Method."

In comparison, Sports Car Legs and Elevator Leap offer much better value for money.

As a common Cultivation Method used by deliverymen, the Sports Car Legs" technique involves infusing magical power into the legs to accelerate movement, making them run like the wind. This allows deliverymen to quickly traverse the city and arrive at their destinations on time, without needing a car or electric scooter.

The Elevator Leap can even use magic to tighten muscles, allowing the body to spring like a spring and generate incredible jumping power. This means that deliverymen no longer need to feel frustrated or helpless when facing buildings without elevators; they can leap directly to the target floor, ensuring that the delivery arrives as soon as the deliveryman does.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever practiced Light Body Technique. This thing really makes daily life much more convenient."

Thinking about the Level 10 effects of these two Cultivation Method, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, marveling at their practicality.

Level 10 Sports Car Legs can protect the soles of the shoes with magic, reducing wear and tear and decreasing the frequency of shoe replacement.

The Level 10 Elevator Leap can transform a vertical high jump into a lateral long jump, helping countless deliverymen leap over traffic lights and congested traffic to deliver goods on time.

At that moment, Zhang Yu's magical power rose from his dantian, flowing into his legs and waist. With a contraction of his muscles, he suddenly leaped up, covering a distance of more than twenty meters, and cleared the traffic light in front of him.

"With this Sports Car Legs and Elevator Leap, I can get to my tutoring class in about 30 or 40 minutes each time."

"As my magical power grows stronger and my physical strength increases, my movement speed and jump distance will also increase, making me even faster..."

The Wa Wa hanging around Zhang Yu's neck watched this scene with disbelief, still finding it unbelievable.

The Wa Wa thought to himself, "No... these four Martial Arts are simple, but in such a short time, they've all reached Level 10?"

"Is this kid really the potential I've unlocked?"

"I want to do it to myself too, how is that even possible?"

In the past five days, besides learning these four new Martial Arts, Zhang Yu has spent most of his time diligently practicing the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi.

Unfortunately, without the blessing of the Primordial Pill and with other things to attend to, his Physical Strength only increased to level 1.98 after five days.

"I really want to take Primordial Pill. It feels like I'm losing out by practicing without taking any pills."

We arrived at the small building inside the park again.

The middle-aged man who had previously greeted Zhang Yu had been waiting for quite some time. He looked at Zhang Yu and smiled, "You've arrived?"

"Speaking of which, I still don't know how to address you, sir?"

Zhang Yu casually replied, "Just call me Ma Yunteng. What about you? How should I address you?"

The other party said, "You can just call me Black Crow. Please follow me; several teachers are already waiting for you." Zhang Yu followed the other party to a Hidden Door and entered the underground tutoring center. He saw that there was a security guard almost every five steps and every ten steps.

However, judging from the various tattoos on these security guards that read "Classes Every Day," "Secret Study," and "Everyone Gets Extra Lessons," it's clear that they are all members of the Dark Learning Gang.

What Zhang Yu found strange was that each of these gang members had a number 0 displayed above their head, leaving Zhang Yu wondering what the number 0 meant.

Suddenly, a security guard with -122 on his head ran past. The -122 on his head kept changing, from -122 to -123, and then to -124.

Zhang Yu finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "What do the numbers on those heads mean?"

Upon hearing this, Black Crow smiled and said, "This is Position Monitoring System developed in cooperation with Orthodox God after the gang adopted corporate management. If someone is absent from their post for more than a certain period of time, their salary will be deducted. He had so much deducted... maybe he had diarrhea?"

Zhang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. "Wouldn't that be too strict?"

Black Crow smiled faintly and said, "These days, anyone with a bit of ambition is already heavily in debt. Having your salary deducted at work is just a necessary test for young people."

Zhang Yu chuckled awkwardly, "Heh heh, this gang is really like a regular job."

Black Crow's eyes lit up, and he said, "Thank you for your praise. The Gang Leader has always been committed to formalizing and corporatizing the Dark Learning Gang, hoping it will become a new company and expand into the city."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

As he spoke, he sighed, "After all, if it weren't for the lack of good jobs, how many people would willingly join a gang? Once you're in a gang, your resume is completely ruined, and you'll never have a chance to get into a big company again."

Good grief... Zhang Yu finally understood. So gangs are run by unemployed people? Is this some kind of unemployment Mutual Aid Society?

Black Crow pointed ahead and said, "The tutoring classrooms are just ahead, the toilets are on either side, and if you keep going down the stairs, there are Training Room, shower rooms, a cafeteria..."

Just as Black Crow was introducing the facilities, a commotion came from the classroom door not far away.

Zhang Yu turned his head and the first thing he saw was a poster that read, "Enroll in the White Dragon Teaching Class and enjoy the teaching life of First High School every night. During the day you may just be an ordinary student in an ordinary high school, but at night you can be White Dragon Person and enjoy the thrill of leaping forward in your grades."

Below the poster, a student complained, "The teachers are so gentle, even the bad students don't have to kneel. What kind of White Dragon class is this? I paid money to experience the teaching quality of a prestigious school. How is this any different from my daily studies at a regular high school...?"

Zhang Yu was shocked. Was it really possible to pay money to experience the teaching life at White Dragon High School? But the next moment, he found his shock laughable.

"Isn't that obvious? Based on my understanding of the obsessed students and parents in Songyang City... if paying money could grant an experience of White Dragon High School's academic life, even if it was just for advertising purposes, there would definitely be a line of people willing to pay."

at the same time.

In another classroom.

Several teachers were chatting while puffing on cigarettes.

An old man with white hair and the words "Daily Lesson" tattooed on his arm took a deep breath and then exhaled the smoke from the Dao Heart Buffer.

Dao Heart Buffer, as an important medicine for enhancing Dao Heart, has been widely circulated in Kunxu due to its extremely addictive properties, and has even been made into different types such as cigarettes, alcohol, and beverages for people to use.

After taking a few more puffs, the old man said, "What do you think of this new teacher? I heard he might be from Key High School."

Across from the old man, a middle-aged woman with a scarred face coldly said, "What kind of academic superstars do Key High School admit? Those students are rich and smart. Would a teacher who's used to teaching these kinds of students know how to teach slackers? Has he ever dealt with a loser who scores below 450?"

"Given the grades of most of our students, if they were sent to Key High School... they'd be considered school bullies. Could he possibly teach them properly?"

Another middle-aged man, over 3 meters tall, was practicing Martial Arts with great precision. His exaggerated muscles were covered with needle marks, clearly indicating that he was a master of Body Tempering.

The middle-aged man, who was over 3 meters tall, snorted, "A teacher from Key High School wants to teach Excavation Palm and Sports Car Legs?"

"Has he ever worked on a construction site? Has he ever delivered food? Is he capable of teaching?"

"I've been working on construction sites for 11 years, and you, Car Woman, have 8 years of experience delivering food. Do you think he's more familiar with these two Martial Arts than we are?"

The old man, however, didn't have such strong opinions, and laughed, "After all, he's a master who has cultivated the Limitless Cloud Hand to Level 10. Let's watch it first before we talk about it."

A moment later, Black Crow led Zhang Yu in and introduced him to everyone, "This is Ma Yunteng, Teacher Ma is giving a trial lesson today."

Black Crow pointed at the old man and said, "This is Cai Tou, who taught Limitless Cloud Hand."

"This is Car Woman with Level 10 Sports Car Legs."

"This is a Level 10 Excavation Palm Big Shovel."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu immediately understood that these three people, like him, were using nicknames and were obviously hiding their identities. They might not even be authentic in appearance.

Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble, all three of you."

The Big Shovel, over three meters tall, smirked and said, "Everyone's time is precious, so let's get to class."

Zhang Yu wholeheartedly agreed with this point and immediately activated the Formless Cloud Gang, instantly enveloping his body in mist, making him appear like an immortal.

"Then let me start by talking about Limitless Cloud Hand."
