While the gang elders in the meeting room were arguing incessantly over the new candidate for the Golden Teacher position, the bald elder suddenly declared, “Stop arguing, everyone. Just look at what Xiao Ma is doing in his trial lesson…”

It turned out that while they were arguing, Zhang Yu, who was conducting the trial lesson in the classroom, had each elderly student give him a dose of medication they carried. This was to demonstrate his Spring and Autumn Endless Zen power.

Zhang Yu consumed dozens of different types, brands, and potencies of medication—including capsules, pills, and injections—all in one go.

Under the influence of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen and the High School Holy Body, Zhang Yu quickly digested and absorbed the medicinal properties, while also enduring all the drug’s toxins and side effects.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s unchanging expression after consuming the medication, showing no adverse reactions, the elderly students in the classroom grew even more impressed.

Meanwhile, the bald elder in the meeting room stated, “Xiao Ma has both charisma and genuine ability. He can teach real skills and provide emotional value, making him the undeniable choice for this Golden Teacher position.”

Upon hearing the bald elder’s words, some elders, despite wanting to support their own teachers, Teacher Yao and Teacher Bai, found themselves with nothing to say.

Everyone present had operated in the underground tutoring world for many years and understood that in this market, teaching well didn’t always guarantee good sales.

A teacher like Zhang Yu, who had such a strong gimmick with his ‘Immortal Capital Person’ identity that could attract many clients, combined with his solid skills, was sure to be a hit in the future.

“Then it’s Xiao Ma,” they agreed.

“Before the classes start, we can do some promotion.”

“Isn’t the Golden Class Gang competing with us for the senior market? This is a perfect opportunity to promote Xiao Ma’s classes and challenge them. We’re sure to gain an advantage.”

At the same time, Teacher Ci, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Bai stood outside the trial lesson classroom, listening to Zhang Yu’s lecture with expressions of astonishment.

While his ‘Immortal Capital Person’ identity had only surprised them and left them half-skeptical, witnessing Zhang Yu demonstrate his Spring and Autumn Endless Zen power later on filled all three with awe.

Teacher Yao thought to himself, “To consume so many conflicting and incompatible medications in one go… his tolerance for drugs is terrifying. His metabolic capacity probably surpasses all three of us.”

Teacher Ci and Teacher Bai exchanged helpless glances and shook their heads, knowing that with his ‘Immortal Capital Person’ brand and such formidable skills, their hopes of becoming Golden Teachers this time were dashed.

After Zhang Yu’s trial lesson concluded, he walked out of the classroom, met by the reluctant gaze of the elderly students.

Teacher Ci and the other two were no longer waiting outside the classroom. Only Black Crow remained, looking at Zhang Yu with a smile. “Teacher Ma,” he said, “the gang elders have decided that you will take over the Golden Teacher position and lead this senior class in the future.”

Black Crow then discussed the specific salary and benefits with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu quickly calculated: 5 class hours a week, approximately 250,000 in after-tax income per week, which amounted to about one million per month.

Black Crow cautiously added, “It might seem a bit low at first, given that you’re just starting your classes.”

“But as long as the classes are effective, and with the gang’s promotion, both class hours and student numbers will definitely continue to grow. At that point, monthly incomes of two or even three million yuan will be possible.”

Fuji chuckled inwardly, “This guy is just drawing you a picture.”

“But the cut they’re giving you is indeed generous.”

“They probably heard about your Immortal Capital Person identity and were afraid you’d find the offer too low.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yu thought, “The Immortal Capital Person identity is truly useful. Not only is it effective for convincing students, but it also allows me to demand a higher price.”

Although Zhang Yu had only been an ‘Immortal Capital Master’ once in a dream in an hallucination, he’d decided that from now on, his fake identity, Ma Yunteng, would be a genuine Immortal Capital Master—for as the saying goes, “one Immortal Capital dream, a lifetime of Immortal Capital feelings.”

Having successfully applied for the Golden Teacher position, Zhang Yu then thought of Bai Zhenzhen participating in the gang’s operation the next day.

“I hope Zhen can also succeed tomorrow.”

Time quickly advanced to the next day.

Outside a cemetery in the distant suburbs of Songyang City, Bai Zhenzhen stood with a group of people.

In front of them stood a tall, dark-skinned man with the character ‘学’ (study) tattooed on his face, gazing at them with cold eyes.

The burly man began, “The Golden Class Gang has gone too far. Not only did they steal our curriculum and attack our Golden Teachers, but they also conspired with Xianyun Group to seal off our campus.”

“So, to retaliate against the Golden Class Gang, we’re going to do something big: we’ll team up with Deep Sea Group’s security force to jointly attack the Golden Class Gang’s largest class venue…”

According to the burly man’s introduction, the Golden Class Gang’s largest class venue was the very cemetery before them.

On the surface, it was a cemetery, but underground, Golden Class Gang teachers were buried. Students could attend classes in the underground mausoleum by visiting to pay respects and offer cash. Previous attempts to report this had been unsuccessful, which led to this raid.

As Bai Zhenzhen listened to the man above them constantly boost morale, she inwardly groaned, “Damn it… is it going to be a major battle right when I get here?”

Just then, the burly man above continued, “To round up all the Golden Class Gang’s scum in one fell swoop, the gang will deploy a copyright bomb this time.”

“Once the copyright bomb explodes, Deep Sea Group’s security team will move in to round up all the Golden Class Gang members inside…”

Bai Zhenzhen wondered inwardly, “What in the world is a copyright bomb?”

The burly man pulled out a black cube and explained, “This is the copyright bomb meticulously crafted by the gang. Once activated, it will rapidly play Deep Sea Group’s expert-level cultivation techniques at a sound intensity of 120 decibels, with an effective range of over one kilometer in all directions…”

“Holy crap,” Bai Zhenzhen gasped, startled. “This is basically a terrorist attack!?”

The burly man continued, “Because the cemetery’s underground structure is too complex, this time, elite masters from the gang will carry the copyright bomb and infiltrate it.”

“Now, we will draw lots to select the personnel for the operation.”

Bai Zhenzhen felt speechless. “So, these elite masters are chosen by lot from our group?”

A moment later, the burly man patted Bai Zhenzhen’s shoulder and said, “Xiao Le, once you go in and activate the copyright bomb, the company’s security forces will follow immediately, search the entire area, and apprehend everyone.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s face stiffened. “If I hear the contents of these cultivation techniques, will I also be arrested?”

The burly man reassured her, “Don’t worry. Once you’re inside, just work hard. The gang will pay to clear things for you, so you’ll be out as quickly as possible.”

“After you serve a few years of ‘hard classes’ and pay off the fines, you’ll be considered a ‘big shot,’ and your treatment will be on par with that of a Golden Teacher.”

Another person nearby suddenly looked at Bai Zhenzhen and said, “Are you scared? If you are, give me the opportunity, I’ll go.”

Upon hearing this, several others around them also looked over with eager, covetous expressions, seemingly all wanting to seize this opportunity.

After all, for them, serving a few years and coming out as a ‘big shot’ was an excellent chance to turn their lives around.

Looking at the eager faces of the others, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly smiled inwardly. “Seriously… after hanging out with Yu, my life has become a bit too comfortable. I almost forgot that for poor people like us to climb up, don’t we have to fight like this? To seize every opportunity?”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the burly man, licked her lips, and said, “If I can escape before the company’s security forces search and not be taken away after dropping the copyright bomb…”

“…can the gang just give me the money that was supposed to be used for clearing things for me?”

The burly man raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Escape before the security forces act? If you can really be that fast, then I’ll make the decision: the 500,000 yuan will be transferred directly to you.”

“Also, once you’re out, you’ll get to lead a small team managing a territory, with a basic monthly salary of 800,000 yuan.”

Over half an hour later, an incredibly powerful and resonant sound erupted from deep within the cemetery, as if countless people were chanting cultivation techniques from underground.

Seconds later, a flash of electricity lit up the night sky, like a bolt of lightning in the darkness, striking towards the cemetery gate.

Simultaneously, someone shouted, “Don’t let him get away!”

Meanwhile, in the woods surrounding the cemetery, Deep Sea Group’s security forces dashed forward, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Amidst the flashing electricity, Bai Zhenzhen’s nervous system was frantically transmitting all the information she could perceive.

Under the influx of this massive amount of information, the entire world seemed to slow down in Bai Zhenzhen’s perception.

Internally, the muscles in her legs violently burst with power, her heart furiously pumped blood, thunderous spiritual energy surged out like plasma, and her true spiritual root permeated her entire body, making every one of her movements incredibly precise, wasting no burst of power…

At this moment, every part of Bai Zhenzhen’s body was furiously accelerating her! Faster! Faster! Faster!

Externally, the shouts behind her grew fainter, as she gradually pulled away.

The sounds of rushing air outside the cemetery grew louder and more urgent; Deep Sea Group’s security forces were closing in to surround her.

Meanwhile, the cemetery gate ahead was gradually closing, and several security guards were blocking Bai Zhenzhen’s path, attempting to stop her.

But in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, these security guards were full of weaknesses, with no coordination among them.

In her perception, she simply flickered a few times, bypassed the guards’ sluggish attempts to stop her, and darted out of the cemetery gate with a whoosh.

To the security guards, it was as if a streak of lightning had flashed by, and the person had vanished into the night sky.

Several hours later, the burly man looked at Bai Zhenzhen before him and exclaimed admiringly, “Swift as thunder, quick as lightning! Your agility and movement techniques are truly remarkable. It’s a shame you’re not delivering takeout with such speed. What made you decide to join a gang?”

“It’s fast money,” Bai Zhenzhen replied. “Now, transfer the funds quickly.”

Seeing the 500,000 yuan deposited into her account, Bai Zhenzhen smiled faintly, thinking, “Now Yu has become a Golden Teacher, and I’ve also made my way up in the gang.”

“The final round of Foundation Establishment exams… I must win!”

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen furiously earned money within the Underground Tutoring Gang, their strength once again began to surge. Time flew by with their work and cultivation, bringing them closer to the third round of Foundation Establishment exams in January of next year.
