When Zhang Yu first saw the introduction to the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art, he strongly suspected if this was really the cultivation method meant for earthwork practitioners like himself.

Then, he took a look at the user feedback.

“As long as you’re young, lifespan is cheap. Spend two days for every day you work, and it still feels like a profit. Spend a bit of lifespan now to earn more money, so you can afford lifespan extension later.”

“Times have changed. Immortal medicines are so advanced now. The War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art isn’t as scary as it used to be. As long as you take your medicine properly, you can minimize the side effects, and prolonged use isn’t a problem.”

“I’m a sophomore in civil engineering. Seeing so many seniors complaining about this cultivation method, I think, isn’t using up lifespan to earn more money the same as accelerating work hours, letting people work shorter hours to earn more? If you can’t handle this, you definitely can’t handle anything else.”

“Everyone should be grateful. Hundreds of years ago, our line of work was called corvée labor. You not only didn’t get paid, but you might even be buried alive. It wasn’t as easy as just lifespan depletion. Kunxu has indeed progressed.”

Looking at this user feedback, Zhang Yu confirmed that the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art was indeed a commonly used cultivation method for the earthwork discipline, and also confirmed something else.

“This user feedback section is all shills, right? Hmm… maybe they’re being sarcastic.”

“Damn it… do earthwork practitioners have to work this hard?”

What made Zhang Yu even more speechless was that the past War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art was used for combat, only needing to be used for a short period of time.

But the current War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art was used for overtime work, requiring long-term use while taking medicine.

Standing beside him, Fu Ji heard Zhang Yu’s sighs and said, “Hehe, otherwise, why do you think those Golden Core True Persons don’t do the work themselves and earn the money, and instead hire you Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators?”

“Isn’t it because a lot of earthwork tasks take up their cultivation time and wear down their flesh and dharma bodies, so they outsource it to the people below?”

“In this world, things that can be done easily and effortlessly to earn money, how could it be our turn?”

“In this Kunxu, anyone who climbs up from the bottom, if they want to make big money, it’s all hard work, exhausting, and they have to risk their lives.”

“But you don’t have to worry too much about this War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art.”

“After all, with your physique, the endurance of your flesh, and your self-healing abilities are extraordinary. For other cultivators, the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art would cause lifespan depletion, but for you, it won’t be so easy to deplete your lifespan.”

“Just control the wear and tear of this cultivation method on your flesh within a range you can withstand.”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, thinking of the flesh vitalization brought by the Crippled Ox Self-Sacrifice Heart Sutra, and the self-healing power brought by the Martial Dao Holy Embryo.

“If I want to use this War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art in the future, I have to remember to switch the Chain Method Diagram set to the Martial Dao Holy Embryo.”

“But the Martial Dao Holy Embryo is, after all, a Qi Refining stage set. For me, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage, the effects have already weakened a lot. In the future, in the Foundation Establishment stage… I’m afraid I’ll have to collect the Foundation Establishment stage Martial Dao Holy Body as well.”

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Yu had already continued to cultivate the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art.

As mana circulated throughout his body, developing his body’s potential, preparing for that short-term burst.

After observing for this period of time, Fu Ji confirmed that below the 100th floor was still considered safe, and reminded him, “If you have the chance, find a place below the 100th floor and help me do the ritual.”

“I haven’t used any of these level 2 evil god rituals yet.”

At the entrance of the dormitory.

Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan were seen sparring, their fists and feet colliding. Zhang Yu continuously used the Friend of Wolves Technique to guide the other party’s body refinement cultivation, improving the degree of fusion of their spiritual roots.

Previously, on the first floor of Kunxu, the two had already, under the guidance of Starfire True Person, honed their methods of refining each other’s bodies and assisting each other’s cultivation.

Now, with the addition of the Friend of Wolves Technique, their learning progress was rapid.

In this situation, Zhang Yu using the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to cooperate with Yu Xinghan’s body refinement was the fastest way for him to improve his physical strength.

“After all, the Earth Devouring Divine Art and the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art… Yu Xinghan doesn’t know I’m cultivating them, and these two cultivation methods each have their own merits, one strengthens the flesh, and the other develops potential and explodes when needed, but the pure numerical improvement of physical strength is not as good as the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen.”

Zhang Yu looked at the increasingly obvious Dao Seed on Yu Xinghan’s body and thought to himself, “To replicate the Three-Eyed Divine Power, I have to at least increase Yu Xinghan’s spiritual root fusion to 90%.”

“He’s probably at about 70% similar to me now. According to Teacher Wolf’s estimation, it will be as fast as three months, or as slow as half a year or more.”

“I wonder what kind of effect this Three-Eyed Divine Power will have.”

Le Mulan, standing to the side, looked at Yu Xinghan with some envy, wishing she could replace him and obtain efficient body refinement efficiency.

But unfortunately… she was only at the Qi Refining realm now, so how could she spar with Zhang Yu, who was in the Foundation Establishment realm?

After saying hello, Le Mulan left the dormitory and headed to the pharmacology teaching area.

As soon as Le Mulan sat down in the classroom, a young man walked in front of Le Mulan and sat down in a seat in front of her.

Le Mulan glanced at the other party, knowing that he was his classmate, Xuan Ge, currently ranked 4th in the class.

Xuan Ge looked at Le Mulan and asked with an admiring expression, “Student Le, your physique is special, and your mana is a congenital ice mana with a hint of coldness, right?”

Le Mulan nodded: “Student Xuan, do you have anything you need?”

Xuan Ge smiled slightly and said: “You should know that I am from the 3rd floor, right? Next year, I should be able to pass the Foundation Establishment exam, and I have already been accepted as a disciple by a Golden Core True Person in pharmacology in advance.”

Le Mulan was slightly startled, and then said: “Then… congratulations to you.”

Xuan Ge continued: “You may be wondering, why would someone as outstanding and promising as me come to find a student in the middle of the class like you?”

He smiled slightly and said: “Although your grades are average, and you are from the first floor, the congenital advantage of ice mana is irreplaceable by other students.”

“I want to be friends with you.”

What Xuan Ge really wanted to say… was actually “I want to cultivate with you”.

Of course, the reason why Xuan Ge did this was naturally not because he coveted beauty.

Although the Le Mulan in front of him had jade-like bones and a pair of purple eyes that exuded a unique charm, Xuan Ge was always more concerned with his studies.

The reason why he wanted to do this was because the other party’s ice mana, coupled with Xuan Ge’s own fiery mana, had a miraculous effect on cultivation.

Cultivation… Xuan Ge knew that in most high schools, students were not encouraged to cultivate, for fear that the students would not be able to control it and eventually delay their studies.

But things were different when it came to university, especially after the top ten.

The process of entering the top ten had already proven their will and they were fully capable of grasping the measure of it.

And if both sides had congenital special mana, it was even more worthy of encouragement.

Xuan Ge heard that in the Joyful Union University, students with congenital special mana would even be gathered together to conduct cultivation, three cultivations… or even dozens of cultivation activities, greatly promoting the students’ cultivation.

But Xuan Ge understood that talking about cultivation right away would seem too eager, and the other party might ask him for a price.

He thought to himself: “Make friends first, so that you may not have to pay for cultivation, and even if you do, you can get a discount.”

This was the experience passed on to him by a senior, and Xuan Ge agreed with it very much. If you can save one point on the road to immortality, you will advance one more point in the future.

Just as Xuan Ge was looking at Le Mulan, information from Le Jingchen popped out of Le Mulan’s eyes.

Le Jingchen: I transferred 0.5 spirit coins to you, did you receive it?

Le Mulan: Yes, I received it, thank you brother.

Le Jingchen: After all, the Le family on the second floor is separated from us by one floor, and they will give priority to taking care of themselves. Relatives like us on the first floor will only be truly accepted and invested in if we achieve results.

Le Jingchen: You said last time that you live with Zhang Yu?

Le Jingchen: Can you get me some Yu juice?

In the classroom, Xuan Ge looked at Le Mulan’s dazed look and thought: “I am a person from the third floor, and I want to be friends with her. Is it surprising to her?”

Xuan Ge said: “Student Le?”

Le Mulan hummed absentmindedly.

Le Jingchen: The company here is interested in Yu juice. If you can get more, we will have more opportunities to stand out on the second floor.

Le Mulan: There are four of us living together now, so it’s not very convenient… If they know I want it, what if the others want it too? Didn’t you say that you can’t let people know about this?

Le Jingchen: What if there are two people next to you? Can’t you find an opportunity to sneakily get it?

Le Mulan: After what happened last time, he became wary of me, so it’s not easy to do.

In the classroom, Xuan Ge said: “Student Le, where do you usually cultivate after class? Let’s go together?”

Le Jingchen: Did you understand? Just do it according to the method I taught you, take the initiative, take something out of a bag, steal fire from the chestnut.

Le Mulan: Doing this… doesn’t feel very good.

Le Jingchen: Lan Lan, you are no longer a high school student, you are already a college student, and you have arrived on the second floor.

Le Jingchen: You have to understand that many things that cannot be done in high school can not only be done in college, but can be done to the fullest, don’t bring the high school habits over.

Xuan Ge found that Le Mulan’s breathing became heavier, with a nervous look, which made him full of doubts.

“This woman… is a little weird.”

Xuan Ge said: “Student Le?”

Le Mulan came back to her senses, looked at the other party and said: “Student Xuan, I want to be alone for a while, let’s talk about something next time.”

93rd floor.

With a burst of shouts, with another round of War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art cultivation, this cultivation method had been cultivated by Zhang Yu to the 10th level.

Feeling the scenes of practicing exercises constantly flashing in his mind, Zhang Yu thought: “After the 10th level, the War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art can activate the second stage of eruption, and the loss of lifespan is counted in years…”

“The first stage of eruption, with the Martial Dao Holy Embryo and the activation of the body, and a little more medicine, within a certain period of time… I can still use it without side effects.”

“But this second stage of eruption…”

Zhang Yu thought about it and still had no intention of trying.

“There are less than two weeks left, and the three-month basic course will be over. Hurry up before the exam, my War Demon Lifespan Depletion Art should be able to be raised to level 20.”

At this moment, Fu Ji said: “Zhang Yu, it’s time to perform the ritual.”
