Chapter 223: Blow Up the Grave

While the gang elders in the meeting room were arguing endlessly, debating over who should become the new candidate for Gold Medal Teacher,

Suddenly, the bald elder said, "Stop arguing, all of you. Just take a look at how Xiao Ma's class is going..."

It turned out that during their argument, Zhang Yu, who was giving a trial lesson in the classroom, had, in order to demonstrate his mastery of the Spring Autumn Infinite Zen, asked every single elderly person in the class to give him one medicine they carried with them.

Over a dozen types of medicines, each differing in brand, potency, and form—capsules, pills, injections—were all consumed by Zhang Yu in one go.

Under the influence of Spring Autumn Infinite Zen and the High School Sacred Body, Zhang Yu quickly digested and absorbed the medicinal power, while also enduring all the drug toxicity and side effects.

Watching Zhang Yu, whose complexion remained unchanged and showed no sign of anything unusual after consuming all those medicines, the elderly people in the classroom grew increasingly convinced.

Meanwhile, the bald elder in the meeting room said, "Xiao Ma has both spectacle and real skill. He can teach genuine knowledge and also provide emotional value. He is already the only candidate for this Gold Medal Teacher."

Upon hearing the bald elder's words, although some elders still wanted to support their own Teacher Ci or Teacher Bai, they had nothing left to say.

Everyone present had spent years in the underground tutoring industry and knew that in this market, being a good teacher often didn't guarantee good sales.

Someone like Zhang Yu, who had plenty of spectacle and whose name as a Xiandu native could attract many clients, combined with strong teaching ability, was bound to see explosive future sales.

"Then let it be Xiao Ma."

"Before the class starts, we can do some warm-up promotion."

"Isn't the Golden Lesson Gang competing with us for the elderly market? This is perfect—we can push Xiao Ma's class out to compete with them and surely gain the upper hand."

Meanwhile, Teacher Ci, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Bai were standing outside the trial lesson classroom, listening to Zhang Yu's lecture, all with expressions of astonishment.

If the identity of a Xiandu native had only surprised them and left them skeptical, then watching Zhang Yu demonstrate his Spring Autumn Infinite Zen power made all three of them look shocked.

Teacher Yao thought to himself, "He consumed so many medicines with conflicting effects that don't match each other in one go. This guy's tolerance for medicine is terrifying—his metabolic ability probably surpasses all three of us."

Teacher Ci and Teacher Bai, standing nearby, exchanged a glance and helplessly shook their heads at each other, knowing that with the other having the Xiandu native's reputation and such solid skills, they had no hope of being selected as Gold Medal Teacher this time.

After the trial lesson ended, Zhang Yu walked out of the classroom amid the reluctant gazes of the elderly people.

Teacher Ci and the other two were no longer waiting outside the classroom. Only Hei Ya remained, looking at Zhang Yu and smiling, "Teacher Ma, the gang elders have decided that you will take the position of Gold Medal Teacher from now on, leading this elderly class."

Then Hei Ya proceeded to discuss the specific salary and benefits with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu roughly calculated: 5 class hours a week, about 250,000 after tax per week, which would be around one million a month.

Hei Ya said cautiously, "It might be a bit low at the start, since you've just begun teaching."

"But as long as the class results are good, with the gang's promotion, both class hours and student numbers will continue to grow. Then you could earn two million or even three million a month."

Fuji chuckled inwardly, "This guy is painting you a pie."

"But the cut they're giving you is indeed not bad."

"Maybe it's because they heard you're a Xiandu native and were afraid you'd think it's too little."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu thought, "Being a Xiandu native really is convenient—it works for coaxing students and also lets me ask for a higher price."

Although Zhang Yu had only been a Xiandu master once in a dream within an illusion, the saying goes: once a Xiandu dream, a lifetime Xiandu sentiment. He had already decided that from now on, his fake identity Ma Yunteng would be a genuine Xiandu master.

Having successfully landed the Gold Medal Teacher position, Zhang Yu then thought about Bai Zhenzhen's participation in the gang operation tomorrow.

"I hope Ah Zhen will have a smooth time tomorrow too."

Time quickly arrived at the next day.

Outside a cemetery in the remote outskirts of Songyang City, Bai Zhenzhen was standing together with a group of people.

In front of them, a tall, dark-skinned man with the character "学" tattooed on his face was staring coldly at them.

The man said, "The Golden Lesson Gang has gone too far. They stole our course outlines, attacked our Gold Medal Teacher, and even colluded with the Xianyun Group to seal off our campus."

"So this time, to retaliate against the Golden Lesson Gang, we're going to do something big—join forces with the security team of the Deep Sea Group and launch a surprise attack on the Golden Lesson Gang's largest lesson venue..."

According to the man's introduction, the Golden Lesson Gang's largest lesson point was that very cemetery before them.

The cemetery was a cemetery on the surface, but underground, it was where the Golden Lesson Gang's teachers were buried. Students only needed to come to pay respects and offer cash to enter the underground tomb palace and attend lessons. However, several previous complaints had come to nothing, leading to this surprise attack.

Listening to the man above rallying morale, Bai Zhenzhen inwardly groaned, "Damn it... I show up, and it's a big battle like this?"

Just then, he heard the big man above say, "In order to wipe out the scum of the Jinke Gang completely, the gang will deploy the copyright bomb this time." "Once the copyright bomb detonates, the Deep Sea Group's security team will coordinate and move in to capture all the Jinke Gang members in one fell swoop..."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "What the hell is a copyright bomb?"

The big man then pulled out a black cube and introduced it, "This is the copyright bomb meticulously crafted by our gang. Once activated, it will rapidly broadcast expert-level cultivation methods from Deep Sea Group at a volume of 120 decibels, with an effective transmission radius of over a kilometer..."

"Holy shit." Bai Zhenzhen was startled, "This is basically a terrorist attack!"

The big man continued, "Because the underground structure of the cemetery is too complex, this time elite experts from our gang will carry the copyright bomb and break in."

"Now we'll draw lots to select the personnel for the operation."

Bai Zhenzhen felt speechless inside, "So these 'elite experts' are just drawn by lot from a bunch of people like us?"

A moment later, the big man patted Bai Zhenzhen on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Le, once you go in and activate the copyright bomb, the company's security forces will follow up immediately, search the entire area, and arrest everyone."

Bai Zhenzhen's face stiffened, "So if I hear those cultivation methods, will I get arrested too?"

The big man comforted her, "Don't worry. Once you go in and work overtime properly, the gang will spend money to grease the wheels for you and get you out as soon as possible."

!?

"After you go in for a few years of hard labor and finish paying off the fine, you'll be a big brother. Then your treatment will be on par with a gold medal teacher."

Suddenly, another person beside her looked at Bai Zhenzhen and said, "Are you scared? If you're scared, give me the chance—I'll go."

Hearing this, a few others nearby also looked over with eager expressions, as if they all wanted to snatch this opportunity.

After all, for them, going in for a few years of labor and then coming out to become a big brother was a perfect chance to turn their lives around.

Looking at the eager faces of the others, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly laughed inside, "Really... after hanging around with Yu Zi, I've been living too comfortably. I forgot that for poor people like us to climb up, we have to struggle like this, seize every opportunity, right?"

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the big man, licked her lips, and said, "What if, after I drop the copyright bomb, I can run out before the company's security forces search the place, and not get taken away?"

"Could the gang just directly wire me the money that was supposed to be used to bribe my way out?"

The big man raised an eyebrow, intrigued, "Run out before the security forces move in? If you can really move that fast, I'll make the call. That sum, 500,000 in total, can be wired directly to you."

"And once you come out, you'll lead a squad to watch the turf, with a base salary of 800,000 per month."

Half an hour later, an immensely grand and resonant voice erupted from deep within the cemetery, as if countless people were reciting cultivation method after method underground.

A few seconds later, a flash of electric light lit up under the night sky, like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, striking toward the cemetery gate.

At the same time, someone shouted, "Don't let him get away!"

Meanwhile, in the woods outside the cemetery, the Deep Sea Group's security team had already charged over, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Amid the flashing electric light, Bai Zhenzhen's nervous system was frantically transmitting every bit of information she could perceive.

Under the influx of this vast amount of information, the whole world seemed to slow down in Bai Zhenzhen's perception.

Inside her body, the muscles in her legs burst violently, her heart pumped blood fiercely, Thunder Law power gushed out like plasma from within, and the True Spirit Root ran through her entire body, making every move extremely precise without wasting a single ounce of explosive force...

At that moment, every part of Bai Zhenzhen's body was frantically accelerating her! Accelerating! Accelerating again!

Outside, the shouts behind her grew fainter and fainter as she gradually left them behind.

The sounds of air tearing outside the cemetery grew louder and more urgent—the Deep Sea Group's security team was closing in.

Meanwhile, the cemetery gate ahead was slowly closing, and several security guards blocked Bai Zhenzhen's path, trying to stop her.

But in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, these security guards were full of openings, completely lacking in coordination.

In her perception, she merely flickered a few times, bypassed the guards' sluggish obstructions, and whooshed out through the cemetery gate.

But from the guards' perspective, it was just a flash of lightning, and the person had already vanished into the night sky.

A few hours later, the big man looked at Bai Zhenzhen before him and praised, "Swift as thunder, fast as lightning—with your light-footed movement speed, it's a shame you're not delivering takeout. How did you end up joining a gang?"

"Fast money." Bai Zhenzhen said, "Hurry up and wire the cash."

Looking at the 500,000 that had arrived in her account, a faint smile curled at the corners of Bai Zhenzhen's mouth as she thought to herself, "Now Yu Zi has become a gold medal teacher, and I've climbed up in the gang too."

"The final round of Foundation Establishment exams... I have to win!"

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen frantically earned money in the Dark Study Gang, their strength once again began soaring.

And time flew by with their work and cultivation, drawing closer and closer to the third round of Foundation Establishment exams in January next year.
