Two hours later, Le Mulan, her legs and arms covered in bruises, hobbled out of the training room, a hint of elation flashing across her face.

“My adaptability is quite fast. At this rate, it won’t be long before I completely overcome my psychological aversion to poor people.”

“That way, even if I switch cultivation methods later, my performance won’t be affected…”

Meanwhile, inside the training room, Zhang Yu, who had been left behind, lay sprawled on the floor, panting heavily, looking as if he’d just been fished out of a lake.

A potent aroma of medicinal herbs permeated his entire body and the ground beneath him.

“This woman… just how much medicine does she eat every day?”

But after resting for a while, Zhang Yu felt a surge of vigor coursing through him.

Despite having sparred intensely with Le Mulan for two hours, he felt not only that his stamina hadn’t been depleted but that his energy was remarkably vibrant. Even the flow of mana within him seemed to have quickened.

“It’s the effect of the medicinal residue from Le Mulan.”

Zhang Yu could swear to the heavens that, as a staunch proponent of natural body refinement, he had absolutely not licked a single drop of medicinal liquid during his intense sparring session with Le Mulan.

“Forget licking, I was holding my breath most of the time! It’s still affecting me?”

After all, the original Zhang Yu’s internal organs had been damaged by medicine, so the current Zhang Yu had always been careful about the dosage, avoiding indiscriminate use of medicine unless absolutely necessary.

This was to prevent the side effects of the medicine from damaging his body.

Feeling his current state, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Could it be that contact through the skin also counts?”

“And why does it feel better than the medicinal liquids I usually use?”

“It doesn’t seem to have that feeling of oppression on my body…”

Just as Zhang Yu was slowly walking out of the training room, Fu Ji suddenly said, “Leaving already?”

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: “Is there a problem?”

Fu Ji said, “Aren’t you going to collect the medicinal liquid?”

Zhang Yu: “What medicinal liquid?”

Fu Ji: “Isn’t it all over the floor?”

Zhang Yu looked at the water stains on the floor, which were still emitting white mist, and his face darkened as he said, “Who would want to collect that!”

Fu Ji said, “That Le Mulan, as she herself said, uses only the highest quality goods. Even the sweat of such a wealthy person is more valuable than the medicine you use.”

“Although it’s now mixed with a lot of your sweat, reducing its purity.”

“But if you sell it as a supplement, you should be able to earn a few thousand…”

Zhang Yu turned and left: “Who knows what’s in her medicine, what the effects are, or what side effects there are? And I don’t have a license to sell medicine. What if I get caught?”

Fu Ji sighed inwardly, originally wanting to suggest that even if he didn’t sell it, he could take it back and drink it with Bai Zhenzhen… but she suppressed the suggestion.

Fu Ji thought to herself, “This Zhang Yu’s pride as a poor person is still too strong. He’s already in the lowest stratum. He should use every resource to climb up, saving money and making money, not being picky. This is the attitude that should be in Kunxu.”

Zhang Yu looked at his torn pants, thinking that it wouldn’t be appropriate to go back like this.

After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Le Mulan: “You tore my pants.”

Transfer 200.

200 transfer received.

Zhang Yu: “I mean, could you send me a pair of pants?”

More than ten minutes later, Lian Tianji appeared in front of Zhang Yu with a pair of pants.

Lian Tianji asked curiously, “Are you doing live combat training with the Holy Maiden’s number one?”

Zhang Yu nodded: “Yeah… I accidentally tore my pants.”

Having said that, he took the pants from Lian Tianji and thanked him.

Looking at Zhang Yu’s torn clothes, Lian Tianji seemed to be able to imagine the intensity of the battle.

He thought to himself, “Alas, I also want to have live combat training with the Holy Maiden’s number one, instead of just bringing her pants after the battle.”

“Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough. I can only be closest to her when I’m a stool.”

Lian Tianji gazed at Zhang Yu’s departing figure and thought, “Only by becoming a high achiever like Zhang Yu can one engage in close combat with the Holy Maiden’s number one, to approach her standing up, rather than only being able to approach the Holy Maiden when one is lying down…”

On the other side, Zhang Yu, while walking out of the training room, sensed his physical condition, thinking to himself, “Is the medicinal effect still working? I’ll observe it for another day.”

“If there aren’t any serious side effects, perhaps it’s because the quality of the medicine Le Mulan uses is particularly good, so the side effects are small.”

“Or perhaps it’s because my body is getting stronger and stronger, my internal organs are gradually strengthening, and I’m also eliminating previously accumulated toxins…”

“Or perhaps it’s a combination of both reasons.”

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yu finally decided to continue to come to Le Mulan for sparring.

After all, it’s 12,000 yuan an hour, and two hours is 24,000 yuan. For a job that earns 24,000 yuan each time, even if he’s forced to use some medicine, as long as the consequences aren’t severe, he can tolerate it.

After returning to the bridge hole, Bai Zhenzhen hadn’t returned from the hospital yet. Zhang Yu thought for a moment and decided to buy a new cultivation technique to practice.

After all, the 300,000 yuan bonus had already arrived, and Zhang Yu was eager to try it out. He immediately spent 120,000 yuan to buy the right to use the Great Sun Qi Sea.

With this expenditure and income, plus the sparring fee he earned from Le Mulan today, Zhang Yu’s savings were still over 210,000 yuan.

Scanning the content of the electronic manual, Zhang Yu thought that the Great Sun Qi Sea was indeed not a very difficult technique, just like the introduction said.

“The key to this technique lies in the accumulation of practice. Then, Feather Book: Zhang Yu! Let me see your limits!”

With the Feather Book’s specialty switch, Zhang Yu had already begun to cultivate this Great Sun Qi Sea.

Although it was an expert-level mid-stage Qi refinement technique, Zhang Yu’s current stats were already not low, even higher than many second-year students at Songyang High School, sufficient to meet the cultivation requirements of the Great Sun Qi Sea.

He stopped the originally endless, seemingly non-stop Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Technique.

The original mana circulation that flowed throughout his body was interrupted, and all the mana was withdrawn into his dantian.

Then, a strand of mana was raised from within the dantian, gradually refined by Zhang Yu into a strand of Great Sun Mana, glittering with tiny golden light.

Then, this strand of Great Sun Mana gradually wandered through Zhang Yu’s meridians, beginning to construct a new mana cycle.

While condensing the Great Sun Mana, while constructing the mana cycle.

Zhang Yu didn’t feel any difficulty, only because with his mana control brought about by cultivating one 10th level technique after another, cultivating this Great Sun Qi Sea was a cinch.

What surprised him even more… was that Zhang Yu felt that under the stimulation of a wave of medicinal power, his mana was circulating three times faster than usual.

And in the following cultivation, Zhang Yu felt that his energy was flourishing… he could even save on the nerve filling agent that eliminates sleep.

“Is it the effect of Le Mulan’s medicinal liquid?”

“Not only does it replenish physical strength, stimulate mana, but it can also boost energy and eliminate sleep?”

Zhang Yu thought of what Fu Ji had said before.

“This woman Le Mulan… could it be that the sweat from her body is really better than the medicine I bought on the day of the competition, and more valuable?”

“Damn it, these rich people are really damned.”

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt that he suddenly understood the feelings of those mortals who went to the sewers of Bai Long High School to steal gutter oil.

Because just now, he also had a momentary impulse, whether to collect Le Mulan’s sweat to use next time he goes to Ziyun High School.

“Stop it, Zhang Yu!”

“Don’t be assimilated by Kunxu!”

“You’re not that kind of person!”

Zhang Yu quickly gathered his spirits and turned his attention back to the Great Sun Qi Sea.

Nine minutes passed. As the first round of the Great Sun Qi Sea was completed, many insights flashed in Zhang Yu’s mind, all of which were the points to pay attention to in the operation of the Great Sun Qi Sea.

In addition, he felt that his body temperature gradually rose, becoming hotter and hotter.

In the darkness, starlight was gradually attracted to Zhang Yu.

It was the moonlight in the sky, the neon lights in the distance, the lights of thousands of homes across the river… wisps of light were attracted by Zhang Yu, making him gradually emit rays of faint light.

Fu Ji observed this scene and thought to himself, “Sure enough… it’s done?”

“Cultivating the first level of the Great Sun Qi Sea originally requires a month of sunlight, allowing the cultivator to gradually adapt to the Great Sun Mana… but this step was completed by him in an instant.”

“This kid’s potential is indeed like my previous observations and judgments. As long as he practices, he can improve rapidly, and even skip some of the limitations of the technique itself.”

Just as Fu Ji was thinking this, Zhang Yu had already continued to cultivate the Great Sun Qi Sea, pushing the Great Sun Mana throughout his body, constantly attracting the light of the night sky, also making himself brighter and brighter.

By the time Bai Zhenzhen returned to the bridge hole, Zhang Yu had already pushed the Great Sun Qi Sea to level 1 (4/10).

At this moment, Zhang Yu revealed wisps of faint light from the inside out. When he opened his eyes and mouth, Bai Zhenzhen could even see light coming out of Zhang Yu’s eyes and mouth.

Bai Zhenzhen said in surprise: “This is the Great Sun Qi Sea you mentioned? Your movements are a bit big, shining brightly, it’s too noticeable.”

Zhang Yu felt the faint light released from his whole body, and nodded slightly: “It is indeed a bit conspicuous, but next, I’m going to rent a house, and then I’ll hide in the room to practice.”

Bai Zhenzhen: “Then wouldn’t you be able to save on the electricity bill for turning on the lights with this trick?”

Zhang Yu shook his head and explained: “This probably won’t work. The essence of the Great Sun Qi Sea is to absorb light and condense mana, not to release light.”

“If I hide in the room to practice, not only will I not save electricity, but I’m afraid I’ll have to turn on high-power light bulbs to shine on me. That way, the mana extraction efficiency will be good.”

Bai Zhenzhen sighed: “Then this technique is a big consumer of electricity.”

Zhang Yu went on to say: “But as long as you get through the early stage, it will be fine. As the level of the Great Sun Qi Sea is pushed higher, the effect of absorbing light will become stronger and stronger. In the future, there will be no light shining out of my body, but rather it will become darker and darker when I practice.”

“Then I can go outside to shine on those skyscrapers at night every day.”

Listening to Zhang Yu’s introduction to the Great Sun Qi Sea, Bai Zhenzhen smacked her lips in wonder, but as she approached Zhang Yu, a strange fragrance came over her face, making her exclaim: “Yu Zi, what’s this smell on you? Why is it so fragrant?”
