## Chapter 106: Zhang Yu, Level 4.95

“Are you out of your mind?”

Zhang Yu had originally intended to say this in response to Le Mulan’s money-throwing behavior.

However, before he could utter the words, Bai Zhenzhen nudged his shoulder, urging, “She wants to give you money! What are you dawdling for?”

Bai Zhenzhen turned to Le Mulan, saying, “If you want to touch somewhere else, like take off his top, that’ll cost extra.”

Le Mulan quickly shook her head, “No need, just… touching his hand is fine.”

Just then, Le Mulan suddenly began to tremble slightly. She furrowed her brow, patted the stool beneath her, and said, “Stop moving.”

The girl lying beneath Le Mulan gritted her teeth and stopped, her eyes and nose scrunched together as if about to cry tears of blood.

“Why? Why would such a wealthy, talented, and noble number one in the grade spend money on a poor and filthy student from Songyang High?”

Once the chair beneath her stopped vibrating, Le Mulan turned her gaze back to Zhang Yu and slowly extended her hand.

Suddenly, Bai Zhenzhen grabbed her hand, “Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? You haven’t paid yet.”

So, after Le Mulan transferred 2000 yuan, Zhang Yu felt a cool, small hand gently reach out.

First, it tentatively touched his fingertip, then Zhang Yu felt the other party’s palm, like a serpent, slowly caress his finger before lightly placing it on the back of his hand.

“Like a piece of ice…” Just as this thought flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind, Le Mulan quickly withdrew her hand.

She nodded, exhaling a breath, “That’s enough.”

Bai Zhenzhen curiously looked at Le Mulan and asked, “Is that it? Do you want to touch me? I can give you a discount.”

Le Mulan’s usually cold lips curved slightly upward, and she shook her head contentedly, “Not today, but maybe next time.”

“Could I pay you both and touch both of you at the same time then?”

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, a hint of a smile appeared on Le Mulan’s lips again as she left with Lian Tianji.

Watching the ‘stool’ also stand up and leave, Zhang Yu said speechlessly, “Is Le Mulan crazy?”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “You’re complaining about an opportunity to make easy money?”

Zhang Yu asked, puzzled, “Why does she want to touch us anyway?”

Bai Zhenzhen shrugged, “Who knows? Maybe it’s her cultivation technique. Rich people, their cultivation techniques are often strange.”

After finishing their buffet, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen went to the stands, intending to use the Heaven’s Eye Talisman to gather information about the Three Great High Schools before the competition began.

As for the Stealth Talisman, they had naturally activated it before even entering Ziyun High School.

But the next moment, as the Heaven’s Eye Talisman took effect, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned by what he saw.

In the direction of White Dragon High School, every participating student had the same line of text above their heads: Immortal Rhythm Group Data.

In the direction of Red Pagoda High School, several dark-skinned students had the words: Business Cooperation, Contact Red Pagoda Husbandry.

Zhang Yu sighed softly, “Their information is all hidden.”

“The Immortal Rhythm, Red Pagoda, and Ziyun companies behind the Three Great High Schools really value this competition.”

In the spectator stands.

Lan Ling coldly watched the bustling competition field below, “What did you bring me here for? To watch our school’s team get crushed?”

Zhou Chechen chuckled, “Lan Ling, don’t limit your perspective to just one high school or one competition.”

“I brought you here today to witness a new body refinement revolution in Songyang City.”

Lan Ling frowned, “What exactly are you planning? Why didn’t you attend the physical competition two weeks ago? Did you already know about the Oasis Group’s cooperation with them?”

Zhou Chechen smiled slightly, “Lan Ling, the Three Great High Schools gave us one slot, a slot to receive their body refinement technology support.”

“This year, let me have that slot.”

“Next year, when you’re in your third year, I’ll fully support you in receiving technology support from the Three Great High Schools.”

“If you’re willing, then from now on, the two of us will be the last two students from Songyang High to enter the Top Ten Universities.”

“If you’re not willing, then I won’t do anything for the next year except beat you up every day. I guarantee you won’t graduate.”

In the Spirit Realm.

Mo Tianyi, who had rarely taken a half-day off, felt weak all over, a sense of guilt for not being at work constantly rising in his heart.

Watching the live broadcast of the Ziyun High School competition, he couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, is this competition really that important that we have to watch the live broadcast?”

A blurry figure beside him nodded, “Very important, it even concerns the structure of the entire Sixteen Families of Songyang.”

The Sixteen Families of Songyang… Mo Tianyi knew that these were the sixteen wealthiest and most powerful families in Songyang.

Their internal members not only intermarried but also colluded within the branches of major companies located in Songyang, acting as local powerhouses to help the big companies operate locally, controlling a vast amount of resources.

The ‘Boss’ looked at the live broadcast screen in front of him and said, “The physical competition process is usually to first conduct a physical strength test, then agility, speed, and strength tests, a total of four rounds, and finally calculate the total score…”

At this point, the Boss’s voice paused, “It’s starting, they’re going to test the physical strength of the contestants. Let’s see what breakthroughs the Three Great High Schools have achieved with their technology.”

On the screen, names and scores appeared as the contestants completed their tests.

However, only the top 10 names were displayed on the screen.

Currently occupying the first place was… Chu Qiuhe from White Dragon High School, with a score of 4.49.

Not long before the physical strength test began.

At the highest point of the stands, at the back of the crowd, a male student wearing a Ziyun High School uniform was also watching the competition.

The man looked somewhat similar to Le Mulan, at first glance even resembling a girl, especially since he was less than two meters tall, which made him seem even more delicate in the Ziyun High School, where everyone had a strong physique.

Only the incredibly complex purple vertical pupil mark between his eyebrows seemed to tell of his extraordinary nature.

At the same time, another strong man with bronze skin, about two and a half meters tall, holding a phone and live-streaming, walked over to the Ziyun student while laughing.

“Everyone, come and see who this is! My good brother, Le Jingchen, the top student of the second year at Ziyun High School and the vice president of the student council.”

The live-streaming strong man squeezed next to Le Jingchen, bringing both of them into the live stream’s view.

Feeling the strong man’s approach, Le Jingchen’s muscles instantly tensed, but the next moment he relaxed again and smiled, waving at the live stream.

Although he didn’t like the strong man’s closeness, Le Jingchen knew that this body refinement internet celebrity named ‘Gang Shan’ had over eight million fans and had consistently insisted on only using drugs, not surgery, and was a representative figure of traditional body refinement in Songyang City.

Gang Shan’s signature move was to never wear a shirt, only shorts, to show the world his meticulously honed muscles.

The reason he was live-streaming this first-year sports competition this time was naturally because he had been invited by a company.

Le Jingchen thought to himself, “So what if he’s a representative of traditional body refinement? If the money is enough, he still has to come and promote the new technology.”

Le Jingchen even knew that his encounter with the other party, as well as their upcoming joint live stream, was a request behind the scenes from Ziyun Pharmaceutical.

“Today’s sports competition, the clash between the students on the field and the technology, is one aspect.”

“The clash of public opinion off the field is another great battle.”

“Hmph, I wonder how many guys will jump out today and do things to attract attention and show off.”

Just then, the internet celebrity strong man ‘Gang Shan’ said, “Jingchen, what do you think of today’s competition?”

Le Jingchen smiled slightly, “Like the second-year physical competition two weeks ago, it’s mainly a clash between the Three Great High Schools. After all, this breakthrough in body refinement technology has only been applied to students from the Three Great High Schools…”

Le Jingchen began to promote the new technology in an objective and neutral way, intentionally or unintentionally, according to the previous plan.

After chatting for a while, Gang Shan looked at the field and said, “Oh, the competition is officially starting. First is the physical strength test. This round scores based on physical strength, with a maximum of 50 points, right?”

“Then the second round tests agility, with a total score of 75 points, the third round tests speed, also with a total score of 75 points, and finally the strength round with a total score of 150.”

“The final ranking of the sports competition is calculated based on the total score of these four rounds.”

Gang Shan first explained the total score calculation of the sports competition to the audience.

Then, to let the audience understand the breakthrough of the new body refinement technology more intuitively, Gang Shan also provided some background information, “Now, it’s been about eight and a half months since the first year started school.”

“The average physical strength of most ordinary high schools at the same time is about level 1.0.”

“Key high schools are a bit more powerful. The average level of students can be close to level 2.0 by now.”

“Of course, among the key high schools, Songyang High School is relatively strong in sports and will be much higher. Some top students even have a chance to compete with the powerhouses of the Three Great High Schools.”

“As for the Three Great High Schools in Songyang City, they are even one level higher. According to past data, the average level of students can be close to 3.0, and the most outstanding top students are likely to break through level 4.0.”

At the same time, with the start of the physical test, the physical strength levels of the contestants continued to pop up on the big screen.

Then, the first place result quickly stunned countless people on the scene, as well as many netizens who were watching the competition live.

White Dragon High School, Chu Qiuhe, Level 4.49

Gang Shan exclaimed, “Level 4.49! He reached this level in eight and a half months? This Chu Qiuhe should be the ace player of White Dragon High School, right?”

Le Jingchen smiled slightly, “He’s not considered an ace player. The most powerful students in White Dragon High School this year should be Yu Xinghan and Song Hailong.”

Gang Shan: “Level 4.49 is not considered an ace player?”

Le Jingchen: “Because the body refinement technology of the Three Great High Schools has been broken through. You can tell from Chu Qiuhe’s appearance that he has undergone a modification surgery, which allows his body to simulate the body structure of a demon beast, breaking through the original restrictions and gaining explosive growth.”

Gang Shan: “Modification surgery is still risky, right? And many people find the appearance unacceptable.”

Le Jingchen nodded, “This kind of direct modification surgery on the body is of course very risky. In comparison, Ziyun’s super metabolism surgery is much easier, with lower surgical risk and higher efficiency…”

Just as Le Jingchen was introducing the technological breakthrough of Ziyun Pharmaceutical, as if confirming what he said, the big screen changed again, and the first place became: Ziyun High School, Lian Tianji, Level 4.56.

Gang Shan exclaimed, “This physical strength is already higher than the champion of previous first-year physical competitions, right?”

Le Jingchen nodded slightly, “After the breakthrough in body refinement technology, the results of the first-year physical competition will inevitably be broken time and time again. There will be a world of difference between two types of contestants, those who have applied the new technology and those who haven’t, like modern people and ancient people…”

Just as Le Jingchen was elaborating on the importance of the new body refinement technology, the first place on the big screen changed again.

Songyang High School, Zhang Yu, Level 4.95.
