Witnessing Zhang Yu’s apparent unawareness of his ranking, Li Xiao sighed inwardly, “Is this the serenity one possesses when facing significant events?”

“The exam concluded last night, yet he didn’t even immediately rush to refresh… to check his ranking…”

“Composed, truly remarkably composed.”

“After the exam, knowing his strength had improved dramatically and his scores were about to skyrocket…”

“Yet he could remain unconcerned, unaffected by external distractions. Such mental fortitude is truly impressive…”

Li Xiao imagined himself in the same situation and knew he could never achieve such composure. Knowing his results would be good, he’d be frantically refreshing the leaderboard the moment it was available!

Meanwhile, in the Foundation Establishment Class group chat, the homeroom teacher, Jiao Lei, was making an announcement!

Jiao Lei Zhenren: “I want to specifically commend Zhang Yu!”

Jiao Lei Zhenren: “I recall that soon after classes began in June, Zhang Yu gradually slipped to the middle and lower ranks!”

Jiao Lei Zhenren: “But in just eight short months, he climbed step by step to second place in the class, achieving a metamorphosis! This is worthy of emulation by all students!”

Jiao Lei Zhenren: “Of course, besides him, the top three students in the class are all outstanding. I’ve already applied for scholarship loans for them this semester!”

At the construction site, Zhang Yu’s hand slowed its pace as he mixed concrete!

“University professors truly possess unique insight, offering penetrating evaluations of their students!”

After saving a screenshot of his class ranking and the teacher’s announcement, Zhang Yu began to read the other messages!

Che Yufei, who had worked alongside him for three months, was also curious about Zhang Yu’s final exam results!

After all, in his eyes, Zhang Yu appeared on the verge of collapsing at any moment, yet he stubbornly persisted in taking medication, seemingly obsessed with his university studies!

“Participating in the final exam in that state… his results must be dismal.”

But upon seeing the results today, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed inwardly, “Second place?!”

“Even higher than Gongshu Jin, the affluent cultivator in his class.”

“This fellow… if he manages to survive university graduation, I can’t even imagine how high his salary will be!”

At that moment, Che Yufei felt like he was witnessing the rise of a new star in the civil engineering field!

After taking a screenshot of the leaderboard, Che Yufei sent it to Shi Yunxiang: “Xiang, look at Zhang Yu’s ranking…” Then, after a moment’s thought, Che Yufei sent a message to Zhang Yu: “Impressive, surging to second place in the class!”

In the Spirit Realm!

As a Soul Cultivation student at Capital Information Vocational and Technical College, Zhao Tianxing scanned the numerous messages flooding across his interface!

“Damn it, garbage review! Paid to whitewash, I hope you go bankrupt tomorrow and spend your life as a Soul Cultivator!”

Zhao Tianxing’s gaze flickered. He deleted the message, citing “insulting and abusive language” as the reason, then banned the user for a month!

“Deity Transformation Divine Sovereign strongly recommends this course! Latest cultivation resources! Intimate personal training service from dual cultivation practitioners! Click on my profile picture!”

Zhao Tianxing silently selected “delete,” choosing “illegal marketing” as the reason, and permanently banned the user!

As a torrent of messages cascaded before him, Zhao Tianxing continued to process them!

Suddenly, a notification appeared!

Zhao Tianxing’s heart stirred slightly, and he immediately looked over!

Since entering Layer II, as his skills as a Soul Cultivation student continued to improve, Zhao Tianxing had gradually integrated them into his daily life!

For example, the notification he received now was the result of automated operations he had set up himself!

The specific notification conditions were numerous, including reminders for expiring coupons, reminders for the renewal of Spirit Realm services, reminders for claiming freebies on various platforms, and reminders of changes related to his classmates!

Such as reminders when a friend’s ranking changed!

“Zhang Yu is second in his class?!”

“So powerful! He’s still this strong even in Layer II!”

Zhao Tianxing was about to send a message, but after a moment’s thought, he first opened a document and began to write!

After reviewing the version he had written, he hesitated for a moment, eventually selecting the one he felt was the most natural and sent it off!

Zhao Tianxing: “Impressive!”

Just as Zhao Tianxing was about to send a second sentence!

The next moment, a warning message appeared before him!

Warning: “During work hours, the use of chat functions unrelated to work is prohibited!”

Zhang Yu saw the message from Zhao Tianxing and replied, “Just a little bit of achievement, nothing to mention.” Seeing that the other party did not reply further, Zhang Yu didn’t mind. After all, Soul Cultivation students were very busy! Zhang Yu then casually opened messages from other people, mostly from classmates and some fellow townsmen who had added him as a friend and noticed his ranking change!

Of course, there were also his good roommates!

In the dorm group chat, Yu Xinghan said: “Bro, not sending out a red envelope?”

Zhang Yu replied: “You’re ninth, in the top ten, you didn’t send out a red envelope either!”

Zhang Yu still remembered that on his first day back in the dorm, Yu Xinghan insisted on dragging him over, wanting Zhang Yu to see how different he was, and constantly showing off his class ranking of seventh at the time!

And Yu Xinghan also remembered that the first time he saw the white-haired Zhang Yu, he was grateful that he hadn’t been selected for the wilderness project!

“Zhang Yu has been worn down to this state, if I went, wouldn’t I never come back? These civil engineering bastards don’t treat students like cattle or horses, they’re using us like Soul Cultivation students!”

But today, seeing Zhang Yu surge to second place in one breath, Yu Xinghan had to admit that the other party had indeed reaped huge gains over the past three months!

But watching Zhang Yu’s recovery process day by day this week, Yu Xinghan understood that he really couldn’t learn it!

Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “This physique is too freakish!”

At the same time, Le Mulan also popped up in the dorm group: “What’s going on?”

Zhang Yu quickly posted the class ranking and Jiao Lei’s screenshot, but didn’t see Le Mulan’s response!

Zhang Yu: “Le Mulan?”

Le Mulan forwarded the screenshot to her brother, Le Jingchen, and said, “Zhang Yu has made great progress, can Yu Juice increase in price?”

Seeing Zhang Yu himself, Le Mulan quickly replied: “Zhang Yu, you’re amazing, when are you coming back to the dorm?”

Zhang Yu: “Working overtime, morning!”

Just then, Zhang Pianpian also appeared, but she didn’t speak in the dorm group, but instead sent a private message: “I secretly watched your exam footage, well-acted, just the blood could be a little more next time!”

Zhang Pianpian: “Working hard is a good cover, the score control is also good! Second place is a good position, after all, taking first is too high-profile!”

Looking at his sister’s message, Zhang Yu thought, “No! I really am working hard!”

In the blink of an eye, a night passed, and after working all night, Zhang Yu’s body had recovered for the most part!

“This Crippled Ox Abandoning Body Heart Technique is really too useful!”

“I wonder where I can find the linked cultivation diagram set of the same series!”

And walking on the road out of the construction site, Zhang Yu felt that the ranking on his head had become more vivid and dazzling!

Along the way, he could occasionally see workers being attracted by the ranking on his head, and then looking at him with a respectful gaze!

The Qi Refining students retreated one by one, afraid of accidentally blocking his path!

Even some senior civil engineering students nodded slightly when they made eye contact with Zhang Yu!

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: “Damn it, this university ranking does have its merits, making people respect each other more!”

Fuji heard this and cursed in her heart: “You didn’t say that before!”

But thinking about Zhang Yu’s performance in this final exam, Fuji was also secretly shocked in her heart: “This kid Zhang Yu, every time I feel that his talent is already astonishing, he can always show something even more incredible!”

As a being who accompanied Zhang Yu 24 hours a day, and even witnessed the process of Zhang Yu rewarding himself, Fuji deeply understood!!! Zhang Yu definitely didn’t have this constitution of arbitrarily consuming life-shortening pills before!

“I always feel that this guy!! seems to be secretly getting stronger in a place I don’t know, but I’ve clearly been with him all the time, what’s going on?”

“Impossible, how can immortal reincarnation be so poor? How can they reincarnate into Layer I?”

And just as Zhang Yu sighed and left the construction site, Sheng Jie at the gate of the construction site was slightly stunned when he saw him!

Sheng Jie looked at the ranking on Zhang Yu’s head and muttered in his heart; “Foundation Establishment Class Second Zhang Yu is actually Foundation Establishment Class Second?”

“Yesterday!! Was it because he just took the exam yesterday, so the ranking was updated in the middle of the night?”

Just as Sheng Jie was shocked in his heart, sensing Zhang Yu’s gaze looking over, he subconsciously nodded at the other party, greeting each other!

Just then, the security guard student next to him said: “Isn’t that your classmate? He…” The other party only said half of his words, and then suppressed them in his throat!

The ranking of Foundation Establishment Class 2 on Zhang Yu’s head seemed to carry a substantial pressure, firmly blocking the throats of the security guards!

They understood that a person who could get class 2 in the Foundation Establishment Class was definitely not an ordinary person!

Respectfully watching Zhang Yu leave, the security guards immediately surrounded Sheng Jie, curiously asking: “Is he really from your Layer I?”

Back in the dorm, after taking his morning medicine and changing his clothes, Zhang Yu prepared to go to class as usual!

Although the final exam for the first semester had just ended, the next semester was coming up!

From March onwards, until the final exam for the second semester in August, the entire freshman year would be completely over!

Today, when Zhang Yu walked into the classroom, he could feel many pairs of eyes looking over!

At the same time, Li Xiao waved to him and Yu Xinghan: “Brother Yu, there are seats here.”

Classes, blood draws, cultivation!! In the blink of an eye, a day passed!

That night, Zhang Yu opened the communication connection with Bai Zhenzhen as usual, and heard the other party say: “Not bad, Yu Zi, second in the class!”

Zhang Yu smiled triumphantly, and then said: “This result can be considered barely worthy of my efforts!”

Bai Zhenzhen said: “Mom sent you some more meat, your body is deficient now, you need to replenish it more!”

“And when are you going to fix your hair, white hair is too haggard, it feels old and poor, it’s easy for people to look down on you!”

“I know, I know!”

Zhang Yu looked at the dress on Bai Zhenzhen’s body and asked curiously: “A Zhen, are you attending an event?”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded: “Well, the opening ceremony of the Top Ten League! This year’s Top Ten League is held at Heavenly Sword University, I’m just here to take a look!”
