It now stood at 44.3 and was increasing ever more rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, as the sun set and the sunlight gradually dimmed, Zhang Yu could feel the Great Sun Qi Sea inside him gradually calming from its original boil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, the daytime sunlight is still the best. The effect of cultivation is strong enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At night... I'll have to find some alternative method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Bai Zhenzhen, who was beside him, urged Zhang Yu again to go to White Dragon to collect the sparring fees from Song Hailong and Yu Xinghan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was bringing Bai Zhenzhen along was, of course, to recommend her as a substitute teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the two had already entered White Dragon High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As half-members of White Dragon, they skillfully walked through corridors of various colors and requirements, passing by students kneeling in cultivation, and math teachers being scolded by students…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the two also felt a sense of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"White Dragon High School has become a zoo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the two entered White Dragon High School, among the students they saw along the way, seven or eight out of every ten didn't look human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, right now they saw a guy who looked like a bear demon, together with another who looked like a werewolf, lecturing a student who still maintained a human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear demon's school uniform had the number 35 printed on it, the werewolf had 36, and the human-looking student's chest had the number 99.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear demon pressed the human's head and said angrily, \"You little brat! You peeked at my study notes just now, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human-looking student said tremblingly, \"I… I saw it by accident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The werewolf beside him said, \"Just a mere 99th rank, a guy who doesn't even have imitation demon muscles, and you dare to peek at the model class's study notes? Take out your homework notebook—we'll do your homework today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human-looking student let out a scream and said in terror, \"No! Please don't take my homework! Beat me, beat me up if you have to, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the three of them pulling and dragging, Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"Except for guys like Yu Xinghan and Song Hailong, who have better control over their bodies, among the remaining White Dragon people… I guess the less human you look, the higher your status on campus is now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really become a beastman kingdom, hasn't it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the bear-man noticed Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who had human forms, and also the Songyang High School uniforms they were wearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh? Songyang losers actually dare to come to our White Dragon Empire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear-man immediately frowned and walked toward Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen: \"What are you two doing at White Dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other werewolf also walked over and looked down at Zhang Yu: \"Sneaking around—are you here to steal White Dragon's study experience?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu scratched his head helplessly: \"Uh… I'm here to see Yu Xinghan and Song Hailong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear-man and werewolf didn't believe it at all. The top two students of White Dragon High School would know Songyang losers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, an even taller figure walked over and, upon seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, said, \"Long time no see, you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's gaze shifted, and he said, \"Chu Qiuhe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer was none other than Chu Qiuhe, who had once lost to Zhang Yu in the martial arts competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear-man and werewolf beside him, upon seeing Chu Qiuhe, who had always been ranked in the top five of his grade, immediately prostrated themselves, like submissive bears and wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qiuhe glanced at the two and said calmly, \"This is Zhang Yu. He won first place in both the martial arts competition and the sports competition. He even defeated me in order to take the championship in the martial arts competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, the bear-man and werewolf were both shocked. They hadn't gone to watch the competition back then, and although they had heard of such a fierce person, this was the first time they had met him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately knelt again and shouted in unison, \"Brother Zhang Yu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qiuhe continued, \"The reason he has no imitation demon features is that he has completely mastered the imitation demon muscles within his body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So he's not an ordinary Songyang High School student—he's the emperor of Songyang High School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you disrespect him, you disrespect me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Chu Qiuhe pronounced their punishment in a cold tone: \"After school today, don't do your homework anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow morning, don't hand in a single subject's homework.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Chu Qiuhe's words, the bear and the wolf suddenly looked as if their parents had died, panic-stricken as they backed away slowly with their tails between their legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his reprimand, Chu Qiuhe turned to Zhang Yu and explained, \"Forgive me, Zhang Yu. These students have never been to a competition—they have no idea what the top students at Songyang are really like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're here to find Brother Xinghan and Brother Hailong, right? They're waiting for you in the practice room over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Chu Qiuhe's guidance, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen walked all the way to the practice room at the end of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a group of tall, muscular, white-haired, gaunt-faced, numb-looking old men passed by ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from a distance, Zhang Yu could feel a thick wave of resentment rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, under Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's astonished gazes, Chu Qiuhe beside them bowed and said, \"Greetings, seniors!\" The 'old men' casually waved their hands, as if too lazy to say even a word, and drifted away with a lingering yin aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu asked curiously, \"Who are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Qiuhe said, \"They're seniors in the third year of high school. The academic pressure is heavy, so some seniors age pretty fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell? That's way too fast! They look like they've already got one foot in the coffin!\" Zhang Yu complained inwardly, suspecting this might have something to do with some immortal cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, despite that, Zhang Yu didn't dare underestimate them in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, ever since learning about the Foundation Establishment exam from Zhang Pianpian and being told he needed to reach the third-year level before the first round, Zhang Yu had started looking into the third-year data of White Dragon High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, White Dragon always heavily publicized—even force-fed—the performance data at different high school stages, so Zhang Yu didn't find it hard to look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself, \"But during the third year, students are still improving rapidly, so the data at each period is naturally different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, at the very start of the third year, the average is about Daoxin level 6, Dharma power around 70 units, and physical strength level 7.5 or above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time of the college entrance exam, the average is about Daoxin level 8, Dharma power around 90 units, and physical strength level 9.5 or above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining each piece of data one by one,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning this data, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both felt a pressure, especially when thinking of Zhang Pianpian's words—to reach the third-year level before the first round of the Foundation Establishment exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought, \"There are only four months left until the first round of the Foundation Establishment exam begins...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the Foundation Establishment exam: registration in June, first round in August, second round in October, and final round in January next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So according to this timeline, when taking the first round, the opponents include some students from Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's own year—those who have just finished their first year and are about to start their second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are also students who have finished their second year and are about to enter their third year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And those students who are about to be third-years in August are our main competitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Considering their backgrounds and strength, plus the fact that they entered the immortal path a year before us...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the first round in August this year, they will definitely already be at the third-year level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yu's mind appeared the scores of White Dragon third-years, and he thought, \"Even if we go by the lowest standard, taking the White Dragon student who just entered third year as the hypothetical enemy, the average data is Daoxin level 6, Dharma power around 70 units, physical strength 7.5...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And as the Foundation Establishment exam goes on, the opponents keep improving—during the second round and the final round, the values will only be higher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever they thought of this, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both felt a wave of pressure rushing at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Zhang Yu's current Daoxin is only level 4, Dharma power 44.3, physical strength level 4.96.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bai Zhenzhen's stats are even weaker than Zhang Yu's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this situation, both of them made a firm resolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's now mid-April... In four months, before the first round in August, we must at least reach the average level of a White Dragon student just entering third year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daoxin level 6, Dharma power above 70 units, physical strength above 7.5.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen entered the practice room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they saw Yu Xinghan and Song Hailong locked in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive Song Hailong threw punches and kicks that brought gusts of wind and thunder, like enormous steel pillars lashing out at Yu Xinghan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet every single one was calmly caught by Yu Xinghan with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface it looked like Song Hailong was attacking wildly, but it felt like he was completely suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrive, Yu Xinghan still managed to say with a steady breath, smiling, \"Zhang Yu, you're here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Song Hailong and I had nothing to do, so we were just warming up. Since you're here, let's begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as Yu Xinghan and Song Hailong's fists and palms clashed, Song Hailong, who was like a giant elephant, staggered backward repeatedly, each step slamming into the ground with a series of booming cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already aware of the gap between himself and Yu Xinghan, Song Hailong wasn't surprised. He just took a deep breath, calmed the surging blood and qi in his body, and then looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Hailong frowned and said, \"Are you saying Bai Zhenzhen can do actual combat training with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen said coldly, \"Defeat me first, then consider sparring with Zhang Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Hailong snorted and beckoned to Bai Zhenzhen. \"Then I'll defeat you first, and then go fight Zhang Yu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the two of them were already locked in fierce combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Hailong, like a maddened giant elephant, swept his arms with immense force toward where Bai Zhenzhen stood, trying to capture her in one move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Bai Zhenzhen moved like a bolt of lightning, darting around Song Hailong, her body-breaking sword qi bursting forth at will. She touched and withdrew, never giving Song Hailong a chance to grapple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two began to fight, Yu Xinghan turned his gaze to Zhang Yu, the opponent who had bested him once in a sports competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from that moment that Yu Xinghan thought of using Zhang Yu as his sparring partner, another whetstone for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>",1965,"2026-05-29T04:54:22.303Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","720fc93fad568b5ad7ee327056dab9d53f7afc714e0b2b3dd91a1d55d73143d6","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-133","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-131",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
