Chapter 662: Chaos Arr

Although he called the other party a junior college golden core, Zhang Yu still remembered the information introduced by Magnetic Pole Divine Lord, knowing that the old man in front of him was not a junior college student but a junior college teacher.

A cultivator who could become a junior college teacher naturally couldn't be a junior college graduate; at the very least, they were a lower school graduate, or perhaps an upper school graduate.

And as for the middle and upper levels of junior college, or the principal, vice principal, and the like, many were cultivators who had graduated from the top ten universities.

For example, the junior college principal who had once invited Zhang Yu in senior year came from Harmony University.

Real junior college students were all at the Qi Refining realm. Even if they broke through without certification now, at most they would reach Foundation Establishment—where would a Golden Core come from?

According to Zhang Yu's estimation, even if a junior college student immediately broke through to Foundation Establishment without certification, the chances of then breaking through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core within the timeframe of "the three-year period has arrived" were very low. It could be said that a true Golden Core realm junior college student did not yet exist.

And comparing junior college students to the junior college teacher in front of them was like comparing clouds to mud.

After all, even before the uncertified breakthroughs, these teachers had already been at Foundation Establishment for many years, and could be said to be the objects of junior college students' envy.

So upon discovering that the junior college teacher in front of him might have formed his own core and broken through to the Golden Core realm, Zhang Yu felt very surprised.

And upon hearing the other party say that he formed his own core because he couldn't afford a Golden Core, Zhang Yu began to ponder inwardly.

"Having worked on the second level at the Foundation Establishment stage for over a hundred years, and still unable to afford a single Golden Core."

Zhang Yu sighed even more inwardly: "Earn in Kunxu, spend in Kunxu, not a single cent can be taken home..."

But then he switched his thoughts: "No, although Kunxu spirit coins are spent harshly, after a Foundation Establishment cultivator starts working, saving 2 or 3 spirit coins a year is not impossible. In a hundred and some decades, before dying of old age, begging for a Golden Core might not be impossible either. The real problem is... without certification, without certification, they simply wouldn't think of saving money to prepare for something like a Golden Core."

Just then, the battles in other directions had also ended.

Ye Xingli, carrying a body of starlight, arrived behind Zhang Yu at some unknown time and said, "It's over, Zhang Yu. Bring the people over to gather."

Glancing at Hou Feifeng's furious expression, Ye Xingli thought Zhang Yu had just provoked him, so she said, "You provoked them too? These junior college teachers are weak in both strength and mentality. Just a few words and their state fluctuates. Provocation and mockery are indeed very effective."

"I don't know if it's because they've stayed too long in junior college, with too high a junior college concentration, plus they're getting older... I think their mental state isn't much different from junior college students."

As a disciple of Magnetic Pole Divine Lord, Ye Xingli naturally highly recognized her teacher's guidance. According to Magnetic Pole Divine Lord, in battles against the weak, how to defeat the weak with the lowest consumption and lowest cost was very important in war.

"Exams and competitions are about burst, requiring you to unleash your strongest strength in a short time. But matters like war require attention to consumption and cost control."

And obviously, interfering with the opponent's combat state through one or two sentences of provocation seemed very worthwhile to Ye Xingli, after all, the cost of speaking was extremely low.

Hearing that Ye Xingli actually compared them to junior college students, Hou Feifeng became even more furious and said, "How can we be the same as junior college students? Aren't they pure trash?"

As a junior college teacher, Hou Feifeng looked down on junior college students more than anyone else. In his own words: "My own students—don't I know how trashy they are?"

Seeing his agitated state, Ye Xingli didn't reply but silently recorded with her ocular device: Very effective, strong control effect...

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, was already used to this. The top ten look down on upper and lower schools, upper and lower schools look down on junior colleges, junior colleges look down on high schools, key high schools look down on ordinary high schools... This was all too common in Kunxu.

Just then, Magnetic Pole Divine Lord's voice reached everyone present: "Assemble within one minute."

Looking at the wild golden cores being thrown over one by one, Magnetic Pole Divine Lord said, as if caring for stray animals, "Why did you hurt them all so badly?"

Seeing Magnetic Pole Divine Lord's concerned expression, Zhang Yu understood that he wasn't really caring but planning to capture these wild golden cores to work for her.

Just then, Zhang Yu's gaze moved, feeling that he was being watched.

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw several heads squeezed together, like a group of rats hiding in the ruins, looking at them with terrified expressions.

"These are..." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "the junior college students captured by those junior college teachers?"

People came and went all around. Wild golden cores were bound and sent onto the flying boat. Large quantities of supplies from the factory were being transported, every bit being carefully inspected.

But only this nest of junior college students—whether when Hou Feifeng fled, or when everyone fought, or when Magnetic Pole Divine Lord tallied the spoils—no one cared about them.

If there was still concern about how badly those golden core teachers were injured, or pity about whether they could work properly, then these junior college students were like a wisp of transparent smoke.

In everyone's eyes, it was as if they didn't exist. No matter what injuries they suffered, what losses they incurred, whether they made noise or not, no one seemed to pay attention.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu sighed again, knowing in his heart that this was the reality of Kunxu.

In Kunxu... only if you have use value and a certain level of strength will anyone care. Otherwise, whether you are good or bad, no matter what you encounter, no one cares.

If junior college students as a whole in Kunxu still attracted some attention, as individuals they were like wild grass, unnoticed by anyone.

Zhang Yu came to their side, and seeing them recoil in fright, casually gave out a few sleeplessness pills.

"Eat these. After eating, you won't need to sleep."

Seeing the sleeplessness pills Zhang Yu gave them, the junior college students in front were all overjoyed, then scrambled for them, and soon distributed them according to their usual exam scores.

The college students who had taken the anti-sleep medicine opened their originally drowsy eyes. Tonight, those who had been plagued by sleep suddenly became energetic and refreshed.

Zhang Yu, however, noticed two corpses not far away and asked, "Are they also your classmates? Were they beaten to death?"

The most outstanding student stepped forward and said, "Full Score owed too many debts and didn't want to work for free here. He tried to sneak away, but the teacher found him, beat him to death, and hung him on the wall as a warning to the rest not to run."

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Just as Director Gao said, without the proper gods to maintain order, cultivators will treat the weak as slaves."

"Killing, destruction, looting... I'm afraid there will be more and more of it."

Zhang Yu looked up at the distant sky, at the Fifth Layer sky still locked in fierce battle, and sighed inwardly, "Brother Dao wanted to change Kunxu, to change this world where everyone sees weakness as shameful. But Brother Dao..."

"With the mess you've left behind now, given the nature of Kunxu people, without the restraint of order, they will only become more bottomless, treating the weak even more dismissively, spawning a bunch of bandits who burn, kill, and plunder, stopping at nothing."

"You couldn't have been unaware that people like you probably don't exist at all in Layers 2 through 5."

"Having paid such a huge price, facing the Heavenly Court's return again in the future, is all this really good?"

Fu Ji said, "No matter how I think about it, I feel that guy's approach is not worth it. Maybe that's just the way immortals are willful—to him, perhaps he doesn't consider the cost at all; he just wanted to do this, liked doing it, and could do it, so he did it."

"In history, there have been countless such powerhouses who, according to their own ideas, casually transformed cities, nations, the world, and even the entire Kunxu. This has always been the privilege of the strong."

Zhang Yu sighed, realizing he was overthinking. Such a huge problem was not something a mere Golden Core True Person like him could find an answer to.

In the world of Kunxu, it was already extremely difficult for him to protect his own people, and using the rules of the Ten Great Leagues to influence the direction of the world was the limit of what he could do.

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu said to the students before him, "You can go back and rest assured; you won't be dealt with here."

With that, he turned to leave, but then his gaze froze.

"No..."

Zhang Yu turned his head again and looked at the two student corpses, noticing that one of them was not dead.

"Still alive? Sleeping?"

"Causing such a commotion and still sleeping?"

Sensing that something was seriously wrong, Zhang Yu immediately reported the situation to Lord Magnetic Pole.

Then someone came to examine the sleeping student.

Soon the problem emerged...

"A virus." Lord Magnetic Pole looked up at the blood moon in the sky and said in a deep voice, "The Demon Cult is secretly spreading the virus through this moon. And it's not just the Dual Rest Virus; there's also the Ascension Virus and the Unemployment Virus—probably new things concocted by the evil gods as well."

"But they are spreading it selectively, mainly targeting those with weak resistance."

"For example, college students have weak Dao hearts to begin with, and with their sleep, their willpower has even more loopholes."

"But all of you should also be careful; try not to let this moonlight shine on you. As long as you are under the moonlight, you are within their attack range."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was startled: "Under this blood moon, who knows how many Demon Cult followers are being created every day?"

"Especially in this chaotic world..."

Zhang Yu frowned and thought, "Dual Rest and Unemployment will both reduce income, create more poor people at the bottom, force them into crime, into burning, killing, and looting, making the world even more chaotic."

"As for the Ascension Virus... given the style of these Demon Cults and evil gods, I'm afraid it won't be simple either."

On the other side, Lord Magnetic Pole was thinking more: "Without the proper gods, the cost of governance has skyrocketed. And with the virus spreading through the blood moon, the cost of maintaining basic order has soared again."

She looked at the five layers of sky locked in battle and thought, "These guys are deliberately delaying our actions, buying time for their war in the upper layers? We must speed up..."

After the materials were loaded, Zhang Yu and the others soon returned to the flying boat.

Zhang Yu took out the dose of medicine allocated to him, opened it, and injected it into his body.

With a surge of Qi and blood inside him, the somatic expression factor began to emerge in his body, gradually forming the Dao Foundation called Vajra Subduing Demons.

At the Golden Core realm, every time one's physical strength increases by one level, they can establish one Dao Foundation. And Zhang Yu's Zifu Golden Core would allow him to establish two additional Dao Foundations when his physical strength reaches level 30, achieving a total of twelve Dao Foundations.

The process of establishing a Dao Foundation is simple: through multiple injections of medicine or surgical procedures, awaken the somatic expression factor within the body.

Depending on which somatic expression factor awakens, the Dao Foundation obtained will be different.
