## Chapter 318: War and Peace

Sensing Le Mulan’s arrival, Zhang Yu, no longer wanting to argue with Yu Xinghan, quickly pulled Le Mulan inside. He tore open the newly purchased package and placed it before her.

“Le Mulan, you’ve come at the right time! Help me check if these medicinal supplements are genuine, if there are any problems.”

“I’ll also infuse you with some of my mana.”

“Um… you… close the door and wait outside.”

Xuan Ge, glancing at Zhang Yu’s ranking of second in the Foundation Establishment Class, cheerfully replied, “Got it!”

He closed the dormitory door behind him, thinking that his relationship with Zhang Yu was steadily improving!

It had gone from “Why are you still here?” to “Close the door and wait outside!”

He wondered when it would become “Come on in and lend a hand!”

Thinking this, Xuan Ge couldn’t help but smile slightly. He felt like he was getting closer to his goal!

“Just like this, step by step, I’ll enter this dormitory!”

“I must seize the time!”

Xuan Ge understood that while they were still in the Qi Refining Class, they would formally transfer to the Foundation Establishment Class next semester!

At that time, Le Mulan’s innate Frost Qi would undoubtedly attract the attention of countless Foundation Establishment students, who might even line up to request dual cultivation with her!

“And then they’ll discover Le Mulan’s dormitory, and discover this place…”

Xuan Ge thought to himself, “Before the official class transfer next semester, I must move into this dormitory, begin my university five-cultivation life, and get on the fast track to immortality!”

At the same time!

Inside the dormitory, Zhang Yu placed his palm on Le Mulan’s back, slowly channeling his high-quality mana into her!

Observing her Dao Seed, Zhang Yu secretly calculated, “To awaken and copy Le Mulan’s Deep Frost meridian, I need to raise her mana quality to above 150!”

“Le Mulan’s current mana quality is around 105. With her own cultivation and my daily mana infusions, it should be possible to achieve this before the end of this semester!”

On the other side, Le Mulan opened the package and carefully examined each of the medicinal supplements Zhang Yu had bought online. She nodded slightly, saying, “No problem, they’re all genuine!”

“This prescription should be quite suitable for your body. It can help you strengthen your foundation, enhance your physical reserves, and replenish your deficiencies!”

Zhang Yu nodded, thinking that having a contractual partner was quite beneficial. When it came to buying and taking medicine, it saved him a lot of trouble. After all, the world of medicine, especially supplements and health products, was far too murky!

Meanwhile, Le Mulan thought to herself, “Taking these… should also improve the quality of Feather Dew, right?”

If the quality of Feather Dew was higher, Le Mulan believed that both she and Zhang Yu would definitely earn more!

Especially since Zhang Yu’s capture of second place in the Foundation Establishment Class had once again attracted the company’s attention!

Thinking this, she secretly messaged Zhang Yu through her Eye-Visor to avoid attracting attention!

Zhang Yu saw Le Mulan’s message appear in his Eye-Visor: “When are you free next?”

Zhang Yu replied: “In a couple of days, I’ll take some more medicine to replenish myself!”

Le Mulan glanced subconsciously at Yu Xinghan beside her and replied: “Yes, let’s do it outside next time. It wouldn’t be good if Yu Xinghan found out!”

Zhang Yu: “I’ll find a secluded place and take you there then.”

“Le Mulan, do you really want my mana quality to be higher?”

Le Mulan could sense that Zhang Yu was always seizing opportunities to infuse her with mana!

Zhang Yu: “Yes.”

Seeing his affirmative answer, Le Mulan’s eyes flickered thoughtfully. “Is he嫌棄 my current mana quality is too low?”

“Then I should invest more money in this!”

While Zhang Yu and Le Mulan were silently discussing, Yu Xinghan, who was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, snorted coldly in his heart!

Watching Le Mulan’s almost imperceptible glance with his Three-Eyed Divine Vision, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, “Are these two secretly talking about something they don’t want me to know right in front of me?”

“Seriously, we’re in the same dormitory, and they’re playing games with me!”

“Once my video goes viral… I’ll give you a big surprise!”

While Zhang Yu was busy, shuttling between classes, construction sites, and his dormitory! Dean Gao was reviewing the report sent by the Beast Taming University’s Breeding Department professor!

Looking at Zhang Yu’s blood test results, Dean Gao thought to himself, “What a pity, his physique isn’t related to genetics and can’t be propagated?”

“Ah, he’s just a genius after all. It’s difficult to develop mass-produced new technologies!”

Throughout the long history of Kunxu, geniuses had emerged in endless streams, and various unique physiques had appeared in rotation in different eras!

However, the mysteries of some physiques had already been researched and used in Immortal Dao techniques!

Other physiques remained unsolved mysteries, which even the Immortal Dao techniques of the top ten universities couldn’t unravel!

Compared to that, a non-mass-producible genius was clearly far less valuable in Dean Gao’s eyes than the technology to mass-produce geniuses!

As for researching the mysteries of Zhang Yu’s physique…

“Even investing a few thousand spirit coins might not yield any results!”

Dean Gao understood that the human body was the foundation of the Immortal Dao, and there were still far too many mysteries within that hadn’t been fully researched!

Without massive resource investment and the support of a sect, no one could guarantee that their research would bear fruit!

And Dean Gao, as the Deputy Dean of the Earth Element Department, wasn’t a physique expert, so he naturally had even less interest in investing in it!

Just then, Tu Lishan’s avatar lit up in Dean Gao’s Eye-Visor!

Tu Lishan: “Dean, I asked around, and Ji Yuanxu did take the Financial Department’s professional course exam and got full marks on everything!”

Dean Gao snorted coldly: “Seeing that he only got a passing grade in his Earth Element professional courses, I knew that this kid didn’t take any of this to heart!”

“He was studying the professional courses here while also taking Financial Department professional courses, and he put a portion of his mind there!”

Looking at the 27-point gap between Ji Yuanxu, who was ranked first in the Foundation Establishment Class, and Zhang Yu, who was ranked second, Dean Gao understood that this wasn’t the true difference between them. It was just because Ji Yuanxu’s professional course grades were too poor that Zhang Yu was so close to him!

Seeing this, Tu Lishan also sighed inwardly: “I originally thought that even if Gongsun Jin lost to Ji Yuanxu, the difference wouldn’t be too big. I didn’t expect it to be like this!”

“It seems that those guys really invested a lot of resources in Ji Yuanxu!”

Dean Gao said coldly: “That bunch of peace-lovers sent their disciple to the Financial Department because they want to move in the direction of finance after all!”

“Hmph, they think that just lying on the construction site and earning money isn’t enough. They want even higher profits!” Tu Lishan didn’t speak, but he understood Dean Gao’s meaning!

The current Earth Element Department of Wanfa University wasn’t a monolith!

Dean Gao and a group of his disciples believed that the scale of the university war would continue to expand, that they should increase investment in military direction, actively participate in various military constructions, and make active changes for future market changes!

And the other faction, led by another dean, believed that the university war had always been within a controllable range and was more willing to continue investing resources in commercial real estate and create more foundries to serve the upper echelons!

In Tu Lishan’s perception, the struggle between the two sides’ paths had become increasingly fierce in recent years, gradually spreading from the original competition between teachers to the competition between senior students, and even to the competition between junior students now!

Tu Lishan thought to himself, “After all, behind the two factions are different companies, involving competition in the fields of magical artifacts, magical weapons, pharmaceuticals, finance, etc!”

“And the department’s annual revenue, project quality, and future talent reserves will all affect the company’s stock price!”

“Even the academic performance and rankings of students of various grades and factions, as a reflection of future talent reserves, will have an impact on stock price fluctuations!”

As far as Tu Lishan knew, the dean of the peace faction had connected with a dean of the Financial Department and planned to invest a lot of resources in it!

Ji Yuanxu’s agreement to transfer to the Financial Department in the future as the other party’s disciple had extraordinary significance!

Tu Lishan thought to himself, “Dean Gao probably doesn’t want these two to unite!”

“But the Financial Department… sigh!”

The Financial Department, as one of Wanfa University’s three trump cards, was, in Tu Lishan’s view, the trump card among the three!

“The Financial Department emphasizes the fortune of humanity, the grand trends, using the momentum of humanity to improve their cultivation and use Dao techniques!”

“Wealth, resources, connections… are also their means of guiding the grand trends of humanity!”

In Tu Lishan’s mind, the guys in the Financial Department were incredibly sensitive to the grand trends of humanity. They never made a losing deal and were always able to steadily take the lead in wave after wave of ups and downs!

Whether it was investing a few thousand or tens of thousands of spirit coins to easily revive an industry!

Or a sanction, an agreement, to bring a university to the brink of collapse. Behind all of this was their grasp of the fortune of humanity. It could be said that the magnificent momentum was all in their hands!

“Could it be that even they think the university war won’t expand, and Wanfa won’t participate?”

Just then, Dean Gao suddenly asked: “Do you think Gongsun Jin and Zhang Yu can beat Ji Yuanxu in the next two years?”

Tu Lishan thought for a moment and then shook his head helplessly: “I’m afraid… it’s extremely difficult!”

“It’s indeed very difficult, so we should try even harder!” Dean Gao said indifferently: “Have Zhang Yu come over tomorrow. I’ll talk to him about the next arrangements!”

Tu Lishan nodded. He knew that the competition between the two factions had already begun in various places. The competition between Gongsun Jin, Zhang Yu, and Ji Yuanxu was just one corner of it. Even if the odds of winning weren’t high, they wouldn’t give up easily!

The next day, after receiving a notice from Tu Lishan, Zhang Yu followed Tu Lishan to the Earth Element Department’s teaching building after school and met Dean Gao!

Zhang Yu’s gaze swept over the four large characters “Construct the World” on Dean Gao’s Daoist robe, and he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the other party’s exposed hands and neck!

Rumor had it that Dean Gao had more than three hundred magical artifacts all over his body, but Zhang Yu realized that he couldn’t see any of them upon closer inspection!

Dean Gao looked at Zhang Yu and asked directly: “What are your plans for the future?”
