Listening to Zhang Pianpian’s words, Bai Zhenzhen nodded and said, “I understand that. It’s like a poor student in Songyang High School. When you get to university, it’s all about rankings. The higher-ranked students can severely humiliate the lower-ranked ones, and the lower the ranking, the more they’re considered societal dregs.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes lit up as she said, “University is a world where rankings are everything!”

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly and said, “You grasp it quickly. After you get into university, you also need to improve your rankings as soon as possible.”

Then, Zhang Pianpian pointed to the halo behind her head and explained, “As for this halo, it’s a symbol of student union cadres, a unique spiritual wave of the student union!”

“You can think of it as a kind of special effect. You can see it directly through the screen now, but when you get there, only those with ocular Dharmic Frames can see it!”

“By the way, do you have ocular Dharma Frames yet?”

Zhang Yu said, “I have one. Ah Zhen plans to buy a basic one for backup and bring it with her when the time comes…”

So, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen told Zhang Pianpian all about their recent gains and the guidance from Real Person Xinghuo!

After listening, Zhang Pianpian nodded slightly. “Real Person Xinghuo’s guidance for you is very good, and the choice of major is indeed reasonable. I think you can indeed take this path!”

Next, the two sides exchanged information for a while, mainly Zhang Pianpian advising them on the preparations to make before going to college and teaching them some of the rules of the university!

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three months left until the college entrance examination!

On this day, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had just arrived at the training ground in the city center when they felt a tangible killing intent sweeping over them, frantically impacting their consciousness!

Then, their vision went dark, and they were blasted away by an explosion!

At the same time, Real Person Xinghuo’s voice reached their ears!

“Starting today, I will ambush you anytime, anywhere!”

“Especially Zhang Yu!” Real Person Xinghuo glanced at Zhang Yu, who had already climbed up and was full of energy, and said indifferently, “You’re so good at taking a beating. I’d be sorry to your talent if I didn’t hit you hard!”

Zhang Yu’s face darkened. He didn’t know whether to cry or laugh because he had such a Golden Core expert diligently guiding him!

Just then, Zhang Yu’s phone vibrated slightly, and a line of information popped up: “Foundation Establishment Cultivator Yu Xinghan has entered within one hundred meters of you! Welcome to follow Yu Xinghan on various platforms, live cultivation every night at 10 o’clock!”

Zhang Yu looked up and found that the person who came was none other than Yu Xinghan, who had already obtained the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate, and Li Xuelian, the daughter of Real Person Xinghuo!

Real Person Xinghuo said, “Xinghan, you practice with Zhang Yu today!”

“Xuelian, you guide Bai Zhenzhen!”

“I will be by your side, ambushing any one of you at any time!”

Real Person Xinghuo looked at the few people and thought to himself, “Cultivate together for a while and cultivate your relationships!”

And Yu Xinghan walked up to Zhang Yu, his gaze towards Zhang Yu somewhat complicated!

He thought, “I was here first! I was the first one to be accepted as a disciple by the old codger, but now I’m being called over to be Zhang Yu’s sparring partner!”

It was obviously impossible for Yu Xinghan to have no envy or jealousy at all!

But he also understood that those with good grades were justifiably favored in this world. If he were Real Person Xinghuo, he would definitely value Zhang Yu more!

“All I can do is continue to chase after him with my own efforts!”

“Maybe one shot from him now can earn me more than ten shots!

“Then I’ll shoot twenty times, thirty times. I’ll catch up to him with hard work.”

The next moment, Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan collided under the guidance of Real Person Xinghuo, hindering each other’s muscle exertion and improving their respective body refinement effects!

Real Person Xinghuo nodded slightly as he watched this scene, thinking to himself, “Zhang Yu and Xinghan will enter the Myriad Dharma University together next, and they are both Foundation Establishment cultivators in the civil engineering department. They will probably practice and work together for the next few years!”

“Take advantage of this time to familiarize them with the feeling of refining their bodies together. After a month, when they go to the second layer, they can continue to refine their bodies together, becoming each other’s body refinement equipment, saving money and improving efficiency!”

“By that time, even if I’m not by their side, they can help each other and improve together!”

Just then, Real Person Xinghuo frowned, “Yu Xinghan, what are you looking at Xuelian for?”

“Zhang Yu, focus!”

With a bang, a tangible martial arts will swept towards the two of them, suppressing their minds and forcing them to circulate their cultivation techniques to resist!

Real Person Xinghuo turned his head and glanced at Li Xuelian and Bai Zhenzhen, who were refining their bodies together. He thought to himself, “These two kids keep selling goods to Hongta, and their firepower is so strong!”

One month before the college entrance examination!

Within the protective area!

The spiritual vein was surging with wind and clouds, and a massive amount of spiritual energy formed a visible substance, turning into a huge tornado in the sky that fell towards the depths of the spiritual vein!

Zhang Yu was sitting cross-legged at the point of impact of the spiritual vein, and a huge vortex of mana around him constantly absorbed the spiritual energy falling from the sky, incorporating it into the flow of mana in his body, and finally refining it into his own mana in his dantian!

Azure Vortex Qi Cultivation Level 20, Mana: 261.9!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Although the total time of breathing is not long, I breathe in the spiritual vein every time, so the increase in mana is still rapid, and the Azure Vortex Qi Cultivation has finally reached level 20!”

“Now, the Residual Bull Sacrifice Technique, the Boundless Spring and Autumn Meditation, and the Azure Vortex Qi Cultivation have all reached the Foundation Establishment limit!”

“As long as I cultivate step by step, refining my Dao heart, mana, and physical strength to the Foundation Establishment limit, there won’t be much of a problem!”

But Zhang Yu knew that slowly cultivating with these three cultivation techniques was not his style at all!

What’s more, after going to the second layer, he might have to face the hostility of the King. In order to better compete with the geniuses above, he had to become stronger and cultivate faster!

“It’s a pity that I can’t buy any useful Foundation Establishment techniques on the first layer. I have to find a way after I get into university!”

Thinking that he would be taking the college entrance examination in a month, then ascending to the second layer and starting his university life, Zhang Yu felt both anticipation, nervousness, and unease!

And why hasn’t Fuxi woken up yet? It’s been more than half a year. How long is she going to sleep this time?

Shaking his head and temporarily suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, Zhang Yu began to feel the effects of the level 20 Azure Vortex Qi Cultivation!

The level 20 Azure Vortex Qi Cultivation can accelerate the operation of the mana vortex as breathing continues, increasing the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption and mana refinement!

According to Zhang Yu’s estimate, this acceleration will reach its limit after about an hour of continuous breathing, increasing the breathing efficiency by 30%!

“Not bad!” Zhang Yu nodded secretly. In this way, his mana will be even higher when he goes to university!

“But from now on, every time I come to the spiritual vein, I can start renting for a longer time!”

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen’s voice came, “Yu, it’s almost time. Let’s go!”

The figures of the two shot out, and the Foundation Establishment-level bodies stirred up a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the ticket gate of the protective area!

An An greeted them, “Finished cultivating?”

Because of Zhang Yu’s help, An An became the mascot of the ticket gate, not only getting a raise but also reducing her working hours a lot!

Looking at the other party’s increasingly fluffy tail and fatter head, Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, “Yeah, see you tomorrow!”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s figures faced the setting sun, dashing along the highway towards home!

The voice of Zhao Tianxing came from the phone: “[Laughing and crying] I’ve been doing well recently. After all, I’ve become a soul cultivation student, so I don’t need food expenses, just internet fees and electricity bills!”

The next moment, Zhao Tianxing suddenly disconnected!

Looking at the message that the other party’s account had been suspended, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, recharged one hundred for the other party, and then joked, “Lao Zhao, what kind of websites do you usually go to? These internet fees are a bit too much!”

Zhao Tianxing said helplessly: “Soul cultivation students belong to commercial internet fees, and there will be tiered price increases. Internet fees are easy to spend quickly! But I can already work. When I earn money, I will pay you back the internet fees!”

After chatting with the other party for a few words, Zhang Yu put away his phone and felt a weight on his back. It was Bai Zhenzhen who had jumped onto his back and hugged his neck!

“Yu, it’s been a long time since I rode you. Let me ride you today!”

Listening to the other party’s words, Zhang Yu could feel that Bai Zhenzhen was a little different today!

Bai Zhenzhen leaned on Zhang Yu’s back, listening to the powerful sounds emanating from Zhang Yu’s muscles, and said with a smile, “Yu, I never thought three years ago that I could really get into the top ten!”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, “Yeah, who would have thought!”

The past six months or so could be described as the most fulfilling and comfortable days Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had had since entering high school!

Without oppression from the wealthy, without pressure from opponents, they improved themselves step by step, methodically, and with the help of many people, feeling themselves getting closer and closer to their goal!

Zhang Yu even felt a bit of happiness in Kunxu!

At this moment, looking at the setting sun in front of him, which was dyed golden, Zhang Yu said with emotion, “Everyone is getting better and better!”

“We will get better and better too!”

“It’s not just about getting into the top ten! We will also take master’s degrees, doctorates, break through to the Golden Core stage together, break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and enter the Myriad Dharma Sect together!” The corners of Bai Zhenzhen’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, as if she had already thought of the beautiful future of the two of them climbing Kunxu together, and a sense of unprecedented warmth rose in her heart!

Back in the apartment, the two of them had dinner together. Bai Zhenzhen suddenly received a message that the ocular Dharmic Frame she had ordered had arrived!

When Bai Zhenzhen went to the express station across the street to pick up the goods, she received a call from Zhang Yu: “Yeah, I’m picking up the goods!”

“Your order has arrived too?”

“Okay, okay, I’ll bring it up for you!”

“Where are you?”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at her phone strangely. The network signal was showing normal, so why couldn’t she hear the other party’s voice?
