Chapter 194: Zhang Yu's Time

Based on Wang Hai's life experience over the past many years, whenever he encountered something he couldn't understand in Kunxu, there were always major forces stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

And once ordinary people got dragged into the chessboard of those companies and powerful families, they usually ended up with no good outcome.

It was precisely because of this principle that Wang Hai had remained just a physical education teacher for decades.

But it was also because of this principle that, decades later, he could still hold a job as a gold medal PE teacher.

As for Lin Hui, a new teacher only recruited into Songyang High School last year, Wang Hai could well understand the mentality of a newcomer with little work experience wanting to make a big profit from this opportunity—he had the same mentality when he was young.

However, whether it was Lin Hui in front of him or Zhang Yu, Wang Hai was not optimistic about their eventual fates.

"Sigh, when ordinary cultivators fall into the whirlpool of these major powers, they might earn quite a bit at first, but in the end they often lose everything and are devoured without a trace."

"Among those higher-ups, is there any one who would let others take advantage for free and not demand returns?"

As for Zhang Yu, even after obtaining the Dragon-Elephant Preparation, he still found it hard to believe that Songyang High School would be so kind as to give free medicine to students.

"This isn't the school culture of our Songyang High School."

"Could there be something wrong with this medicine?"

Only after watching the students around him inject the medicine and start training energetically did Zhang Yu himself inject a tiny bit to try.

"Let me give it a try. Anyway, my Spring-Autumn Boundless Zen is already at level 10. Even if there's something wrong with the medicine, I should be able to expel it..."

And shortly after that tiny bit of Dragon-Elephant Preparation entered his body, Zhang Yu felt as if a flame had ignited inside him, burning throughout his entire body.

Zhang Yu's first sensation was... this medicine is incredibly potent, like an explosive detonating inside him, making him want to wildly dance for three days and three nights.

His second sensation was that this medicine was highly toxic.

Having pushed Spring-Autumn Boundless Zen to level 10, Zhang Yu's sensitivity to medicinal toxins and pill toxins had already reached an unprecedented peak.

At this moment, he could feel that the medicinal toxins and residue in this medicine were a full ten times more potent than ordinary drugs.

"But it's still within the control of Spring-Autumn Boundless Zen."

However, in public, Zhang Yu did not want to reveal his Spring-Autumn Boundless Zen, so he went along with the medicinal force and began cultivating the Crimson Marrow Mixed Element Qi.

Lin Hui silently watched this scene from the side, a faint, barely perceptible smile curling at the corner of her mouth. She thought to herself, "This is not ordinary Dragon-Elephant Preparation, but Mad Dragon Preparation."

"Although its efficacy is several times stronger than Dragon-Elephant Preparation, comprehensively boosting one's energy, stamina, and blood qi, and greatly enhancing training efficiency, it has one biggest problem... addiction."

"Once you have the first time, there will be countless times."

"You won't be able to stop."

At this moment, Lin Hui seemed to already see the scene of Zhang Yu, after repeatedly using Mad Dragon Preparation, becoming increasingly addicted to the efficiency gain in body refining, using more and more, and finally realizing his addiction, kneeling before her and begging for the drug.

With the ringing of the bell, PE class ended, and it was time to leave school.

Fuji remarked with emotion, "First, you can't skip the general knowledge class."

"Then you're forced to only practice basic techniques in martial arts class."

"Now, in PE class, they give you such a toxic and potent drug."

"These methods are more outrageous than the last."

Although Zhang Yu was glad he could freeload the school's basic techniques, he could also tell that this gesture was not out of goodwill.

Later, when discussing it with Fuji, she also thought, "It's obviously deliberately wasting your time. Are you sure you want to practice these basic techniques?"

Zhang Yu said calmly, "I have my own plans. Strengthening my foundation is a good thing for me."

Fuji didn't understand Zhang Yu's thinking and could only guess it was related to his potential improvement.

After the PE class just now, Zhang Yu also asked Bai Zhenzhen and others, and their sensations after taking the drug were completely different from his—clearly they weren't using the same medicine.

"Was the body-refining medicine swapped too?" Zhang Yu thought to himself. "This is completely targeting me."

After hearing Zhang Yu's account, Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said, "I've heard that these recent school reforms were all proposed by the student council. Could it be that Zhou Chechen is up to his old tricks again, trying to get back at us?"

Zhang Yu sighed. "That guy Zhou Chechen, after being quiet for a while, is stirring up trouble again."

Just as Zhang Yu was about to leave the school, Su Haifeng, accompanied by another middle-aged teacher, blocked his path.

Then they heard Su Haifeng say flatly, "Zhang Yu, the school places great importance on your development. After discovering that your Dao Arts performance was lacking, we specially invited a teacher to tutor you in Dao Arts."

"From now on, after school every day, you will study with Teacher Zhou for four hours before you leave."

"Remember, according to the rules of Songyang City, those four hours after school count as part of the normal high school instruction time. Since we've arranged tutoring, you are not allowed to skip class."

Zhang Yu was speechless. What kind of bullshit rule is this? Four hours after school are also normal instruction time? Those aren't even human words!

And upon hearing the content of the tutoring, Zhang Yu was even more stunned: "Dao Arts? Tutoring?"

Isn't high school Dao Arts just talismans?

This stuff is all about progress if you have money, and no results if you don't, right?

This stuff needs tutoring too?

And when Teacher Zhou pulled Zhang Yu into the classroom, and he saw the three hundred test papers handed out, he felt a deep sense of malice.

The Teacher Zhou in front of him said flatly, "Do the test papers. Do the papers a hundred times, and the meaning will reveal itself."

"From now on, you will come here every day to do test papers. When you do enough papers, your ability to handle talisman exams will naturally improve."

Zhang Yu squinted slightly, a wave of strong discontent rising in his heart: "This is going to waste another four hours of my time every day."

Teacher Zhou watched Zhang Yu's slightly changing expression, a hint of mockery in his eyes: "What? Are you thinking of going against the school's normal teaching plan and getting yourself punished?"

Zhang Yu took a deep breath and silently began to work on the talisman test papers before him.

……

Just as Zhang Yu was working on the talisman test papers, Bai Zhenzhen kicked open the student council office door with a loud bang.

No mistakes in the first release, content is here for your view.

Seeing He Dayou behind the desk, Bai Zhenzhen said coldly, "Is Zhang Yu's after-school talisman tutoring arranged by the student council?"

He Dayou quickly raised his hands and explained, "It has nothing to do with me. That was all the president's idea."

Bai Zhenzhen asked, "Where is Zhou Chechen?"

Moments later, Bai Zhenzhen's entire body erupted with thunderous light, and she shot like a lightning bolt onto the senior year students' training ground.

Gazing from afar at Zhou Chechen and Lan Ling who were training, Bai Zhenzhen said coldly, "Zhou Chechen, cancel Zhang Yu's tutoring immediately, or from today onward, I will challenge you once every day, and every time I see you, I'll beat you until you puke. Let's see what face you have left to stay in school."

Zhou Chechen didn't even look at Bai Zhenzhen; he casually waved his hand and said, "Chase her away. Don't let her disturb our training."

The next moment, Bai Zhenzhen only felt a residual image suddenly appear before her, so fast that she could only cross her arms to block.

Bang!

Bai Zhenzhen shot out like a meteor, and in the blink of an eye, she landed outside the training ground.

At the same time, a young man strolled leisurely toward her, chuckling lightly, "My name is Zhou Hao. I'm now in charge of Zhou Chechen's security."

"Now, would you like me to beat you all the way out until you puke, or will you leave on your own?"

With a soft whoosh, Zhou Hao instantly appeared in front of Bai Zhenzhen, looking at her and saying, "By the way, I'm a university graduate from a 72 Lower School, and my major was security."

"With just your high school level, you don't stand a chance against me."

Bai Zhenzhen stared intently at Zhou Hao, feeling his peak Qi Refining aura, and knew he was right.

She thought to herself, "72 Lower School, huh?"

Among universities, besides the ten top prestigious schools, there are also 36 Upper Schools, 72 Lower Schools, along with junior colleges and other miscellaneous schools.

The 72 Lower Schools represent 72 third-tier universities. Although they are not impressive among the many universities, they indicate that the other party has been at the peak of Qi Refining for over ten years and has mastered who knows how many Level 10 techniques.

"A gap of over ten years in cultivation time..." Bai Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, knowing that even if she displayed her full strength, she couldn't possibly be his match.

Watching Bai Zhenzhen leave decisively, Zhou Hao nodded, "That's right. A wise man submits to circumstances."

"Also, Zhou Chechen asked me to ask you: if you were given a million, would you be willing to betray Zhang Yu?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Bai Zhenzhen suddenly turned back, saying matter-of-factly, "Just transfer the money, and I'll go stab him twice right now."

Zhou Hao said flatly, "Sign the contract first, then transfer the money."

Bai Zhenzhen gave a cold snort and left without looking back.

And just as she arrived at the small flower bed, planning to cultivate while waiting for Zhang Yu to finish class, she sensed through her detection ritual that a camera was pointed at her.

"A school camera? No, that's not where the school cameras are..."

Sensing the glare in her field of vision, Bai Zhenzhen's brow furrowed even tighter: "Someone's spying on me from the shadows? Is it also one of Zhou Chechen's people?"

Thinking that if the one surveilling her was also a university student of Zhou Hao's caliber, Bai Zhenzhen knew it would be very difficult to shake them off.

"If they keep watching us like this... won't we be unable to even go to the Dark Study Gang?"

"This guy is slowly encroaching on the space we have for cultivation and earning money."

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen once again felt a kind of pressure she had not felt for a long time.

Especially as Zhou Chechen deployed one tactic after another, a pressure far stronger, heavier, and harder to resist than the oppression he had brought in the past began to assault her from all directions.

Like a bottomless abyss, about to swallow her and Zhang Yu completely.
