How else would I run fast? I didn't install shock absorbers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu said again, \"Then can you tone down the electricity? It's making me uncomfortable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen said disdainfully, \"If the Lightning Step didn't carry electricity, why would it be called the Lightning Step? Your physique is so tough, a few shocks won't kill you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a while and realizing Zhang Yu wasn't saying anything more, Bai Zhenzhen thought he had no further objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, a look of disgust flashed across her face: \"You little bastard... you really ought to get neutered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen felt that the current situation was like taking a good buddy for a spin in a brand-new car, only for the buddy to say he couldn't hold his shit anymore and was about to crap in the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm warning you, if you mess around on my back, I'll perform surgery on you right here today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think I want this?\" Zhang Yu said miserably. \"I told you not to shake around and not to zap me. Isn't this all your fault?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen before her, Fuji thought to herself: \"Bai Zhenzhen meeting Zhang Yu, having her spiritual root rapidly evolve under the nourishment of Zhang Yu's ranks of Level 10 techniques—that's a stroke of luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But conversely, Zhang Yu meeting Bai Zhenzhen and gaining the assistance and deduction of this true spiritual root... that's also a stroke of luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Yu accelerates Bai Zhenzhen's growth, and Bai Zhenzhen in turn nurtures Zhang Yu, making him stronger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And for the two of them to meet me as well—it's luck upon luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fate really is damn magical sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a feeling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, it might be the most important investment of my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I might really... hit the jackpot this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they knew it, time had already arrived at the next day after school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was also the day Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yu Xinghan had agreed to go together to the Spirit Realm for their Dao Heart supplementary lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cafeteria of Songyang High School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Qian Shen, and Zhao Tianxing were eating together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding students occasionally cast looks of awe at the four of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear? The monthly exam results are out. Some teachers said that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's partial data have already reached the level of seniors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're real monsters. No wonder they could even make the student council president kneel on the ground.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kneeling on the ground? They forced him to eat his own vomit right there on the spot! Look, I've even got an animated picture here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't that animated picture played in reverse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I've got this picture too. Look, the chest of that student council cadre was branded with three words: 'College Student'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to think Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were pretty nice people, but I never expected they could hit this hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All those high scorers are the same...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that matter? If I were them, I'd hit even harder. Otherwise, wouldn't all that high score be for nothing? Top students have to thoroughly humiliate the slackers, damn it! If they've got a problem, they should blame themselves for not having good enough grades...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As various rumors spread, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had become like campus bullies in the eyes of many students, standing at the top of Songyang High School's chain of contempt, existences that could be called the Emperors of Songyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Qian Shen, ranked third, and Zhao Tianxing, ranked eighth, in the eyes of other students they were also formidable top students, like the generals under the Emperor of Songyang, often flanking Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their table for four was the banquet of the freshman big shots, emitting score pressure almost tangible, forcing other students into self-contempt and daring not to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, another group walked into the cafeteria, led by He Dayou, ranked fourth in the freshman year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although He Dayou had also become a Purple Man now, due to the special training program's transplant surgery, the speed at which his various muscles adapted to super-metabolism was not uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So some parts were deep purple, some parts light purple, looking like segmented sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yu's words, He Dayou now looked like a purple mantis shrimp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the improvement in strength was real. This son of a school board member was still maintaining his rank of fourth in the year and had become the new vice president of the student council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Zhang Yu's table, He Dayou's step faltered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the son of a school board member, his first trouble after becoming the vice president of the student council was how to deal with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giving up the competition shows that these two have completely given up on getting into the Top Ten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then they're no longer in competition with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for conflicts of interest or old grudges… if any, they're with Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling, not with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need to compete with these two paupers—we're not even on the same track anymore. If I get into the Top Ten, when they see me, they'll be like ants looking up at the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Dasheng ordered a student nearby, and a moment later, the other party brought four plates of nourishing spirit beast meat to Zhang Yu's table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding to Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, He Dasheng turned and went upstairs to the second floor of the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his heart, he began to worry about the next problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I still get into the Top Ten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gap between Songyang High School and the three major high schools is getting bigger and bigger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my year, is there still a chance to snatch a spot in the Top Ten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating and drinking their fill, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen returned to the apartment, put on their spirit realm masks, and prepared to attend the tutoring session they had arranged with Yu Xinghan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for these spirit realm masks, they had borrowed them from Yu Xinghan. Now, putting on the masks and entering the URL, the next moment they felt their vision blur and found themselves in another world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What appeared before Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen was a building that seemed infinitely tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the building, they saw countless people entering and exiting the entrance at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those people were like mere shadows—even if they overlapped or passed through each other while moving in and out, it had no effect at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhenzhen said, \"So this is the public area of the Spirit Realm. This is my first time here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded, thinking to himself that this was looking more and more like a virtual world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had participated in illusion realms built by the Spirit Realm before, those were mostly single exam environments, like a game—once you cleared it, it ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the place Yu Xinghan had invited them to now was the public area of the Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mistake. Every word, every sentence is correct. Everything is in the text!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a website on the internet—always existing, receiving visits from countless people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even such a place wasn't accessible to just anyone. They had spent money to get temporary permissions from Yu Xinghan, which was how they could come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yu Xinghan's figure flashed and appeared beside them. \"You're here? Let's go in together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the Xianyun Group's Question Dao Hall, a tutoring institution established in the Spirit Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Spirit Realm charges high fees and requires high permissions, so it's always appointment-only and recommendation-only.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, it's aimed at the wealthy clientele across the entire Kunxu First Layer, so the flow of people has always been substantial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Yu Xinghan's introduction, Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed in surprise, \"The entire Kunxu First Layer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan nodded. \"The entire Kunxu First Layer can come here for tutoring through the Spirit Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the two had already walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped through the entrance, light flickered before their eyes, and they seemed to have been teleported to a certain floor of the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan continued, \"This place mainly offers tutoring in Dao Heart and Martial Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, the Dao Heart can be tempered in the Spirit Realm, and practicing Martial Dao in different scenarios of the Spirit Realm yields various experiences. But mana and the physical body still need to be accumulated bit by bit in the material world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are many methods for training the Dao Heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, experiencing the life of a powerful person, walking the path they once walked, can bring one closer to the Dao Heart those experts possessed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are also various extreme forms of pain that can stimulate the growth of the Dao Heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But either the side effects are severe, or the results are slow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The best method is still to tailor scenarios according to the different mental cultivation methods a practitioner follows, setting up appropriate scenes for training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Yü Xinghan had already skillfully led the two into a classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've rented a Dao Heart tempering venue here; this time I'll share it with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, what mental cultivation methods do you two want to temper? The venue needs to be set up in advance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen followed Yü Xinghan into the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Questioning Dao Hall, a blurred figure was constantly monitoring the people entering and leaving the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Mo Tianyi's voice came to his ears: \"Boss, Zhang Yu and the others have entered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure asked: \"Can you see what they are doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo said: \"I haven't been working here long; give me some time...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Mo said: \"Found them. They are sharing a classroom with Yü Xinghan, tempering their Dao Hearts together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure asked curiously: \"Can a Dao Heart tempering classroom be used by three people together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianyi explained: \"Theoretically, there's no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, a Dao Heart tempering classroom is essentially a scene that matches the requirements of the mental cultivation method, allowing practitioners to intensively train their mental cultivation method and boost their Dao Heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If three people use it together, a scene that simultaneously accommodates the mental cultivation methods of all three should be generated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure said calmly: \"Show me their situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Tianyi: \"Wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, an image appeared in the figure's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under a sky covered with dark clouds, a factory was operating at full capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Striking and rioting workers were protesting outside the factory gate, while security guards formed a human wall to block the workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a security guard holding a long staff charged into the crowd and engaged in a fierce battle with the Qi Refining peak workers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yü Xinghan?\" Seeing that Yü Xinghan in the form of a security guard, the figure asked in confusion: \"What technique is he cultivating this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo said: \"The Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Technique, so an extremely intense battlefield was arranged for him, allowing him, as a member of the company's security team, to engage in a fierce struggle against the bankrupt workers on behalf of a company that refuses to earn a single cent less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure nodded slightly: \"Indeed, an extremely intense battlefield concerning life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1967,"2026-05-29T04:54:22.303Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","f359621ac8ad68269d87770cdb80c532de5d0b8c5d59f659eeebfb9eeb5e5249","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-160","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-158",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
