Everyone present, whether passersby or Lord Sky Slayer and others, was placed under a gag order, forbidden from revealing anything they had seen or heard that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Zhang Yu expressed his gratitude one by one to the Nascent Soul lords who had rushed over, including Lord Sky Slayer and Lord Wondrous Hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Sky Slayer waved his hand and said, \"Protecting the campus is the duty of our Security Department. This was all within our responsibilities. From now on, Lord Candle Flame, if you ever need anything, just call me anytime—I'll come at a moment's notice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Wondrous Hands beside him said, \"Lord Candle Flame, you only recently broke through to Nascent Soul, yet you were able to fight three masters alone—truly admirable. Would you like to come to my hospital for a free checkup?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Nascent Soul lords present looked at Zhang Yu with expressions full of goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although today's news had been placed under a gag order, they had all witnessed Zhang Yu's battle firsthand and naturally understood his mastery of Kunlun in the Palm and spatial techniques, and they could sense from the appearance of the Dimension Breaker that Lord Magnetic Pole valued Zhang Yu highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Ten Thousand Methods University issued an announcement: the Righteous Alliance had sent assassins to kill a student but failed; three Nascent Soul realm experts had been killed on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the Dark Spirit Realm had already announced that Zhang Yu of Ten Thousand Methods University had been severely wounded in an assassination attempt and was at death's door, while the three Nascent Soul experts had escaped unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu looked at the Dark Spirit Realm's report and couldn't help but laugh. \"They sure can spin a story. Even like this, they claim victory?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang scrolled through more news on the Dark Spirit Realm and found quite a few related reports and discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself, \"As a disciple of Lord Magnetic Pole, I've gained some minor fame among the many Nascent Souls on both sides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a figure of a Daoist appeared in Zhang Yu's mind—a cultivator named Lord Liang Yan, a traitor from the Finance Department of Demon University who constantly commented on current events in the Dark Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Zhang Yu's view, he was just promoting the Righteous Alliance and smearing the Ten Great Universities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that very moment, Lord Liang Yan was discussing Zhang Yu's matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He posted a photo of Zhang Yu covered in blood and commented, \"Zhang Yu was thoroughly wounded in this assassination attempt—hanging by a thread.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fact that Ten Thousand Methods University can't even protect the principal's own disciple shows how terrible the situation at the Ten Great Universities is, and how tight the front lines are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we look at the number of cultivators who have sneaked into the Righteous Alliance over the past week, we can see the gap between the two sides is still widening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You say Ten Thousand Methods' spatial technology has advanced? I've said it many times—don't just look at what they say; look at what they do. 80% of the cutting-edge technology in Ten Thousand Methods' Tai Xu Cloud Shelter was plagiarized from the Righteous Alliance through breaking spatial barriers. They have no R&D capabilities of their own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Ten Great following right behind the Righteous Alliance like this, how can they possibly win?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu casually glanced at the comment section and found that many people in the Dark Spirit Realm supported Lord Liang Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Fu Ji commented, \"Whether it's the Ten Great or the Righteous Alliance, proclaiming one's legitimacy and success is a necessary operation. Especially for the Righteous Alliance—if they didn't do this, how could they gather qi and fortune? How could they attract more lower-level cultivators?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu scrolled through other news in the Dark Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like the Spirit Realm, the Dark Spirit Realm had little news about their own Divine Transformation cultivators—in fact, it was impossible to discuss or even mention them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no shortage of news about various Nascent Soul masters of the Righteous Alliance; some were actively promoted by the Righteous Alliance, others were self-promoted by those Nascent Soul masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In particular, some of those powerful Nascent Souls were called Divine Transformation seeds—cultivators considered most likely to break through to the Divine Transformation realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Lord Tai Hao, whom Zhang Yu had fought this time, was regarded as a Divine Transformation seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this ambush, Zhang Yu couldn't help but pay more attention to the Righteous Alliance's Nascent Soul cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most popular was a direct disciple of the Righteous Alliance's Alliance Leader, a cultivator named Lord Slay Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Slay Immortal?\" Zhang Yu thought. \"That title should be illegal in Kunxu—you can't use it. What was his original title?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu checked and found that no one knew Lord Slay Immortal's original identity in the Ten Great camp; they only knew that ever since he joined the Righteous Alliance with Fu Xian Heaven, he had been undefeated, unstoppable, and killed in every battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 'kill' meant not just killing opponents, but also killing all bystanders and spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone appearing inside or outside the battlefield who did not bear a clear Righteous Alliance insignia would be attacked by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that the number of people he had killed had already exceeded one million. Some busybodies calculated the compensation he would need to pay for murder in peacetime, arriving at an astronomical figure, claiming that his compensation alone could buy an entire school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Lord Slay Immortal had even managed to retreat multiple times from under the hands of several Divine Transformation lords from the Ten Great Universities, and his revival count remained zero to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Yu saw another piece of news about a demon-origin Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Swallowing Heaven, claiming to be the descendant of the Great Sage.\" Zhang Yu thought. \"Another forbidden title, and this 'descendant of the Great Sage'...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Zhang Yu looked up information about Lord Swallowing Heaven and found that this Nascent Soul's identity was equally mysterious. Every time he appeared, he took the form of a different demon, and even the techniques he excelled in were all different. Some even believed he was not a single demon but a group of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was finally clarified by the Reporting God that Lord Swallowing Heaven was indeed just one demon, but the number of techniques he mastered was the greatest among all current Nascent Souls. It was said that he had mastered every department's cultivation method of the Ten Great Universities without exception, and the infringement fines calculated on his person were enough to buy half of Kunxu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Lord Swallowing Heaven's existence had encouraged countless demons. He was called the number one genius among demons in the Dark Spirit Realm, the number one genius among Nascent Souls. Some demons said that Lord Swallowing Heaven proved that, without the systematic oppression of human cultivators, demon talent was no worse than that of human cultivators—perhaps even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhang Yu's gaze shifted, and he saw another Nascent Soul lord that piqued his curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dazhuan Zhenjun? Someone actually goes by that Daoist title?\" Zhang Yu was astonished. Upon closer inspection of the other party's news, he felt even more surprised: \"A Dazhuan graduate reached Nascent Soul?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Zhang Yu's previous estimation, even without the restriction of credentials, for a current Dazhuan student to break through to Foundation Establishment within a short time was already the limit; breaking through to Golden Core was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even for a Dazhuan graduate from many years ago, since the unlicensed opening was less than two years ago, it would be hard to break through to Nascent Soul, right? Unless they had been secretly preparing for a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu continued looking at the other party's information and discovered that this Dazhuan Zhenjun claimed to be a follower of Baoshen, and had awakened his potential with Baoshen's help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the video, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and ordinary appearance said calmly, \"I am a person held back by the current educational system of Kunxu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I was young, everyone told me: 'You're poor, you have no talent, you should just work hard and earn money.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought they were right, until I met Baoshen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He awakened my potential and made me realize that I do have talent—my talent is actually better than those lofty top ten scholar-obsessed students, stronger than those geniuses who participate in the Top Ten Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I… just don't have money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But lacking money is not lacking talent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it weren't for the current educational system holding me back, I should have been the one to win the championship in the Top Ten Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the days to come, if I have the opportunity, I will defeat the outstanding contestants from previous Top Ten Tournaments one by one, making them understand that the only reason they stand on the stage is because they have money. But in Dazhuan, in lower-tier schools… there are plenty of geniuses who could surpass them yet are held back only because they lack money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these news reports, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, \"Dazhuan Zhenjun? This person probably has an extremely strong propaganda effect on many of the lower-level cultivators in the Righteous Alliance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1598,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","c6d1a9f26b202d33ede3598ff588bd9c98d13dd6f7cdcea14180daacdafaca72","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-694","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-692",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
