Zhang Yu's Secret

That night, as he swallowed the Primordial Pill in one gulp, its powerful medicinal force once again penetrated into his limbs and bones.

Zhang Yu immediately circulated his Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, channeling all his strength into his muscles, internal organs, and bones, striving to absorb the surging medicinal power.

At these times, Zhang Yu could clearly feel that the 30,000 yuan he spent on medicine had not disappeared, but had been absorbed into his body and eventually become a part of his flesh and blood.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed. Zhang Yu looked at the Physical Strength level of 2.08 on the Feather Scroll and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Two weeks have now passed since the Martial Arts Competition.

There are still two weeks until the confirmation of whether Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen are eligible to join the Physical Competition Team... the top five in athletic performance.

There are still six weeks until the start of the Physical Competition.

During this period, although Zhang Yu focused his main efforts on Physical Strength, his Dao Heart and magical power naturally improved with the support of his mental cultivation techniques and Passive Breathing Technique.

The message that appeared on the Feather Scroll read: Dao Heart Level 3 (93%), Mana Power 25.5.

"The improvement of my Dao Heart and Magic Power seems to have slowed down slightly, but it's not a big problem for now. There's no need to consider changing to a more powerful Cultivation Method. For now, I should focus on improving my Physical Strength."

"With my current income, I can not only keep getting Primordial Pill, but if my income increases further in the future, I can even afford more nutritional supplements."

"If I keep increasing my Physical Strength with Level 10 Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, then entering the top five in Physical Strength in two weeks shouldn't be a problem, and reaching Level 0 4.0 or higher in Physical Competition in six weeks doesn't seem impossible either."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at his savings account.

During this period, although he tutored Song Hailong and went to the park for extra lessons, with the arrival of a new month, after deducting the loan interest of 15,000 yuan, rent and utilities of less than 2,000 yuan, as well as expenses such as Primordial Pill and food, Zhang Yu now only has a little over 5,000 yuan left in his account.

"Sigh, I'm still poor. I hope they can schedule more classes for me soon."

With a few thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhang Yu hurried to the school.

Upon arriving at the school gate, Zhang Yu saw the display of the Monthly Exam results.

On the day the Monthly Exam results were released, the teachers and students of Songyang High School were filled with joy and excitement as they welcomed the new scores.

Recalling the Monthly Exam two days ago, Zhang Yu sighed slightly, "What a pity. If the Monthly Exam had been a few days later, after I had taken the second Primordial Pill to Body Tempering, my score should have been higher."

"But it's not a big problem. My PE score should be higher in the next monthly Monthly Exam."

After glancing casually at the Monthly Exam rankings, Zhang Yu headed towards the classroom.

For him, Monthly Exam were something he only paid a little attention to; competitions were what he truly valued.

He still clearly remembered what Zhang Pianpian had told him.

Zhang Yu murmured to himself, "If I want to get into one of the top ten universities, I need to win all the remaining competitions in my first year of high school and become the strongest first-year student in Songyang City."

But just before Zhang Yu stepped into the teaching building...

With a loud bang, a figure plummeted from the sky, crashing towards the ground.

Zhang Yu instinctively dodged, then reached out to catch him. As white, Formless Cloud Gang surged forth, it brought a gentle force that caught his falling figure, dissipating the force of his descent.

Looking at the person he had saved, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. "You are... Shuang Youpeng?"

He still remembered this student who was once the top scorer in the first year of high school, and is now a second-year student, who was thoroughly disciplined by Zhou Chechen, the Student Union Vice President, during Practical Combat Class.

"You'll be fined for jumping off school buildings, thank goodness I saved you."

"Besides, with your skill level, you shouldn't die from this height, right? Wouldn't it be even worse to be seriously injured and need treatment?"

But the next moment Zhang Yu realized something was wrong.

Although Shuang Youpeng's appearance hadn't changed much at this moment, Zhang Yu felt that he was... incredibly light.

The flesh beneath the other person's clothes looked as if a large portion of it had disappeared; it was nothing like the strength one would expect from a high school sophomore.

Faced with Zhang Yu's questioning gaze, Shuang Youpeng said nothing. He neither thanked Zhang Yu for saving him nor blamed him for saving him. He simply stood up silently and walked towards the teaching building.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He sensed a numbness and despair emanating from the other person.

Finally, Zhang Yu asked, "Are you alright?"

Shuang Youpeng paused, then said calmly, "It's nothing. I was just thinking too much for a moment. I still have debts to pay off, I won't jump again. Please don't tell anyone about today's incident, or the school will fine you."

At this point, Shuang Youpeng paused for a moment before saying, "That Physical Competition... you'd better give up; it won't end well."

Inside the classroom of Grade One Class 1).

Several students were surrounding He Dayou, congratulating him.

"Dayou, you've made great progress lately! You even got first place in the grade in the Monthly Exam this time!"

"662 points! That score is enough to get a free visit to White Dragon High School, right?"

"General Knowledge 49 points, Dao Heart 130 points, Magic Power 143 points, Physical Education 150 points, Martial Arts 95 points, Dao Arts 95 points... This is probably the level of the top students from the Three Great High Schools?"

He Dayou looked at these Background Character who sided with whoever had the best grades, and a disdainful smile flashed across his lips.

In this Monthly Exam's Martial Dao Practical Exam, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were grouped together, allowing He Dayou to finally achieve a score befitting his level. "I've finally gotten back the points I deserved in Martial Arts."

As for Dao Arts, that's his forte, and with his training in the Competition Team during this time, he has also become the strongest in his grade in sports.

Just then, my phone vibrated; it was a message from He Dayou, asking another student to inquire about the matter.

That is Zhang Yu's current Physical Strength.

"That kid Zhang Yu, he never attends PE class. This Monthly Exam will finally let us see his Physical Strength test results from yesterday's exam... 2.05 level?"

"No wonder he became Zhang Pianpian's dog; he must have been fed a lot to reach this level."

"However... it's far inferior to my Level 3 Physical Strength, and the gap between us will only widen further in the future."

Seeing Zhang Yu's Physical Strength, He Dayou finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that all the hard work and money he had put into the Competition Team during this period had not been in vain.

"Zhang Yu, you'll soon experience what it feels like to try your best but still not be able to catch up with me."

In contrast to He Dayou's excitement, Zhao Tianxing appeared extremely distressed.

"Has even Yu Zi and A-Zhen been completely surpassed by He Dayou?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Although he envied He Dayou, Zhao Tianxing ultimately withdrew from the Physical Competition Team, just like Qian Shen. He watched helplessly as another student was added to the Competition Team, and then his Physical Strength improved by leaps and bounds, surpassing his own performance in this Monthly Exam.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself, "Qian Shen disdains using money to buy meat or points, which is why he withdrew from the Competition Team."

After Zhao Tianxing also left the team, he could feel Qian Shen Shenggao giving him a look.

But he knew that his situation was completely different from Qian Shen's, and he didn't have Qian Shen's good looks and decisiveness at all.

He knew that his decision to withdraw from the Competition Team was simply due to his own weakness.

He lacked confidence that he could achieve outstanding results after his parents had spent half their life savings on him.

"My parents would have to sell their house to raise the sponsorship fee to join the Competition Team."

"They're only in their first year of high school. What will they do when they need even more money in the future?"

"With my talent, after spending so much money, can I really earn it back in the future?"

Zhao Tianxing had no confidence at all. He was afraid of wasting his parents' savings and being burdened with huge debts without achieving anything, so he ultimately chose to give up.

"I'm such a loser. I even told Qian Shen that I didn't want to buy points, just like him. I clearly wanted them but was afraid of failing."

In the cafeteria, Zhao Tianxing put down his tray with a melancholy expression.

Then they saw Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen devouring the Synthetic Food in front of them as if they were having a competition.

"Sigh, Yu Zi and A-Zhen are always so optimistic. They weren't discouraged at all even though they were surpassed in the rankings in this Monthly Exam. I wish I could be like them."

While eating, Bai Zhenzhen glanced at the protein drink in Zhang Yu's hand, thinking to herself, "Yu Zi has been eating better and better lately. Did he find some money? Or did he sell something he shouldn't have?"

As Zhang Yu ate, he glanced at the mushy food on Bai Zhenzhen's plate, thinking to himself, "A-Zhen also needs to improve her Physical Strength. She must be running out of money lately, right? I wonder if she's interested in the Dark Tutoring World."

The Wa Wa hanging around Zhang Yu's neck was also observing Bai Zhenzhen, and after observing her for the past few days, she had come to a conclusion.

So the Wa Wa transmitted its voice to Zhang Yu, "Hey, Zhang Yu, do you know that this woman has something in her belly?"

"Puff!"

Zhang Yu felt himself choke and couldn't help but spit out what was in his mouth.

He turned around, lowered his voice, and said to the Wa Wa in a voice only he could hear, "A-Zhen pregnant?"

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen looked at the slurred food Zhang Yu had spat into her bowl, and she was genuinely furious. "Are you trying to get yourself killed, Zhang Yu? Trying to steal food with such a despicable trick? I'm going to pee in your bowl!"

The Wa Wa said in Zhang Yu's mind, "What I'm talking about is Spirit Root. This woman has Spirit Root inside her."

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes. "Nonsense, A-Zhen rented Spirit Root."

The Wa Wa chuckled and said, "Really? From what I've observed, the Spirit Root in this woman's belly should be her own."

"It's just that this Spirit Root is extremely good at hiding. If you hadn't been with her every day, and if she hadn't always used that Spirit Root freely in front of you, I wouldn't have been able to tell."

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen in shock, thinking to himself, "A-Zhen have Spirit Root growing in her belly?"

Bai Zhenzhen said angrily, "What are you muttering about? Go buy me another lunch right now!"

Zhang Yu was still thinking about the Spirit Root when he grabbed his student card and ran off to buy food for Bai Zhenzhen.

Bai Zhenzhen noticed that Zhang Yu's phone, which he had left on the dining table, vibrated slightly; a message had been sent.

Lian Tianji: Sell me one of the clothes you wore.

When Bai Zhenzhen saw the message, she fell silent and quietly turned off Zhang Yu's phone screen.

"No wonder Yu Zi seems to have money lately."

"Has he already gotten so far ahead without us even realizing it?"

A-Yu! Have you gone this far for money and the Immortal Dao?
