While the esteemed elders of the gang were locked in heated debate, vying for their favored candidates to become the new Golden Instructor, a sudden voice cut through the clamor!

“Cease your squabbling,” the bald elder boomed, “Behold the performance of young Ma in his lesson!”

It turned out that amidst the elders’ contention, Zhang Yu, in his demonstration of the Boundless Zenith of Spring and Autumn, had boldly requested each elder present in the classroom to offer him a personal medication!

A chaotic assortment of pills, capsules, elixirs, and even injectable drugs, each varying in type, brand, and potency, were all consumed by Zhang Yu in one fell swoop!

Under the dual blessings of the Boundless Zenith of Spring and Autumn and his High School Saint Physique, Zhang Yu swiftly assimilated their medicinal essences, while simultaneously enduring and negating their inherent toxins and side effects.

Witnessing Zhang Yu’s composure after such a pharmacological onslaught, the elders in the classroom were increasingly impressed.

Simultaneously, in the meeting room, the bald elder declared, “Young Ma possesses both charisma and genuine skill. He can impart true knowledge and provide emotional support. He is undeniably the prime candidate for the Golden Instructor position!”

Despite some elders’ lingering desire to support their proteges, Teacher Yao and Teacher Bai, they found themselves unable to contest the decision.

All present were veterans of the clandestine cram school industry, acutely aware that in this market, teaching prowess alone did not guarantee commercial success.

A teacher like Zhang Yu, brimming with notoriety and whose identity as a denizen of the Celestial Capital could attract numerous clients, coupled with genuine abilities, was certain to achieve explosive sales.

“Then it shall be young Ma!”

“Perhaps we should generate some buzz before his class commences!”

“Isn’t the Golden Class Gang encroaching on our senior demographic? We can leverage young Ma’s class to challenge them directly. Victory is assured!”

Meanwhile, Teacher Ci, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Bai stood outside the trial class, listening with astonishment to Zhang Yu’s lecture.

If his identity as a denizen of the Celestial Capital merely sparked surprise and skepticism, his subsequent demonstration of the Boundless Zenith of Spring and Autumn left them utterly stunned!

Teacher Yao mused inwardly, “To consume so many conflicting and incompatible medications in one go… This fellow’s tolerance for pharmaceuticals is terrifying. His metabolic rate likely surpasses all three of us!”

Teacher Ci and Teacher Bai exchanged glances, shaking their heads in resignation. Knowing that their rival possessed both the allure of a Celestial Capital denizen and formidable skills, their hopes of becoming Golden Instructor were dashed. As Zhang Yu concluded his trial class, he exited the classroom amidst the elders’ reluctant farewells.

Teacher Ci, Teacher Yao, and Teacher Bai were no longer present, leaving only Black Crow to greet Zhang Yu with a smile, “Teacher Ma, the gang elders have decided that you shall assume the position of Golden Instructor and lead this senior class!”

Black Crow then proceeded to discuss the specifics of Zhang Yu’s compensation package.

Zhang Yu calculated that with five class periods per week, his after-tax income would be approximately 250,000, translating to roughly one million per month!

Black Crow cautiously added, “It may be a bit meager at first, considering you are just starting out.”

“However, if the lessons prove effective and the gang’s promotion efforts bear fruit, both class periods and student enrollment will undoubtedly increase. At that point, your monthly income could reach two million, or even three million!”

Fox Maiden chuckled inwardly, “He’s dangling a carrot in front of you!”

“But the commission they’re offering is indeed substantial!”

“Perhaps they fear you’ll find it insufficient, having learned of your Celestial Capital identity!”

Zhang Yu thought, “The Celestial Capital denizen persona is quite useful. Not only is it effective in coaxing students, but it also allows me to command a higher price!”

Although Zhang Yu had only experienced being a Celestial Capital Elder in a dream-like illusion, the saying held true: “One dream of the Celestial Capital, a lifetime of longing.” He resolved that henceforward, Ma Yunteng, his assumed identity, would be a genuine Celestial Capital Elder!

Having successfully secured the position of Golden Instructor, Zhang Yu turned his thoughts to Bai Zhenzhen’s participation in the gang’s operation tomorrow.

“I hope A-Zhen will succeed tomorrow as well!”

Time swiftly passed, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye!

Outside a cemetery in the remote outskirts of Songyang City, Bai Zhenzhen stood alongside a group of individuals. Before them, a tall, dark-skinned man with the character ‘Learn’ tattooed on his face glared at them with icy eyes.

The man declared, “The Golden Class Gang has gone too far. They steal our curricula, assault our Golden Instructors, and even collude with the Celestial Melody Corporation to shut down our facilities!”

“Therefore, to retaliate against the Golden Class Gang, we shall undertake a grand endeavor. In conjunction with the Deep Sea Corporation’s security forces, we shall raid the Golden Class Gang’s largest class location!”

According to the man’s explanation, the Golden Class Gang’s largest class location lay beneath the very cemetery before them!

The cemetery, seemingly a final resting place, actually concealed an underground crypt where the Golden Class Gang’s instructors resided. Students could gain access to the underground palace by paying their respects and offering monetary tributes.

However, repeated reports had yielded no results, hence the decision to launch this surprise attack!

As Bai Zhenzhen listened to the man’s impassioned rallying cry, she secretly felt a pang of foreboding. “Damn it! I’m thrown into a major battle right off the bat?”

At that moment, the man announced, “To ensure that the Golden Class Gang’s dregs are captured in one fell swoop, the gang will deploy the Copyright Bomb!”

“Upon the Copyright Bomb’s detonation, the Deep Sea Corporation’s security forces will coordinate their assault, capturing all Golden Class Gang members within!”

Bai Zhenzhen wondered, “What is this Copyright Bomb?”

The man produced a black cube, explaining, “This is the Copyright Bomb meticulously crafted by the gang. Once activated, it will rapidly broadcast expert-level cultivation methods from the Deep Sea Corporation at a sound intensity of 120 decibels, effectively spreading over a radius of one kilometer!”

“Damn it!”

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed inwardly, “Is this supposed to be a terrorist attack?”

The man continued, “Due to the cemetery’s intricate underground structure, a select group of gang elites will infiltrate the area, carrying the Copyright Bomb!”

“We shall now draw lots to determine the individuals selected for the mission!”

Bai Zhenzhen was speechless. “So, these elite experts are chosen by lot from this group?”

Moments later, the man patted Bai Zhenzhen’s shoulder, saying, “Little Le, once you enter and activate the Copyright Bomb, the company’s security forces will follow closely behind, searching the entire area and apprehending everyone!”

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

The man reassured her, “Rest assured, if you work hard inside, the gang will use money to smooth things over for you and get you out as soon as possible!”

“After serving a few years of hard labor and paying off the fines, you’ll be a big brother. Your benefits will be on par with a Golden Instructor!”

Another person suddenly looked at Bai Zhenzhen, saying, “Are you afraid? If you are, give me the opportunity to go!”

Hearing this, several others turned their gazes, their eyes gleaming with eagerness as if they wanted to seize the opportunity!

After all, for them, serving a few years and emerging as a “big brother” was an exceptional opportunity to turn their lives around!

Observing the others’ enthusiastic faces, Bai Zhenzhen suddenly smiled inwardly. “Really… Ever since I started hanging out with Yu-zi, my life has become too comfortable. I had forgotten that for poor people like us to climb the ladder, we must seize every opportunity!”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the man, licked her lips, and said, “If I drop the Copyright Bomb and manage to escape before the company’s security forces search the area and avoid being taken away!”

“Will the gang give me the money they were prepared to use to smooth things over?”

The man raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Escape before the security forces move in? If you’re truly that fast, then I’ll make the decision. That sum of 500,000 can be given to you directly!”

“Also, after you get out, you can lead a small team as a bouncer, with a monthly base salary of 800,000!”

Half an hour later, a resounding and majestic voice erupted from the depths of the cemetery, as if countless individuals were chanting the contents of numerous cultivation methods from the depths of the earth!

Seconds later, a bolt of lightning illuminated the night sky, like a streak of brilliance cutting through the darkness, striking towards the cemetery gate!

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

And in the forest surrounding the cemetery, the Deep Sea Corporation’s security forces charged forward in a series of afterimages!

As lightning flashed, the nervous system within Zhenzhen’s body frantically transmitted every piece of information she could perceive!

With the influx of this massive information, the entire world seemed to slow down in Bai Zhenzhen’s perception!

Within her body, the muscles of her legs exploded with power, her heart pumped furiously, supplying blood, and thunderous magical energy erupted from her body like plasma. Her true spirit coursed through her entire being, allowing her every movement to be precise and without wasting a single ounce of explosive force!

At this moment, every part of Bai Zhenzhen’s body was frantically accelerating her, accelerating, and accelerating again!

Outside her body, the shouts behind her grew more distant, gradually being left behind!

The sound of the air being torn apart outside the cemetery grew louder and faster, indicating that the Deep Sea Corporation’s security forces were closing in. The cemetery gate was gradually closing, and several guards were blocking Bai Zhenzhen’s path, attempting to stop her!

However, in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, these guards were riddled with weaknesses and lacked any coordination!

In her perception, she merely weaved through them, sidestepping their sluggish attempts to stop her, and with a resounding shout, she leaped out of the cemetery gate!

And in the eyes of the guards, only a flash of lightning passed by, and the person had disappeared into the night sky!

Several hours later, the man looked at Bai Zhenzhen before him and exclaimed, “As swift as thunder, as quick as lightning! Your agility and footwork are so swift that it’s a waste for you not to be a delivery person. How did you think of joining a gang?”

“To earn money quickly!”

Bai Zhenzhen said, “Hurry up and transfer the money!”

Looking at the 500,000 that had been transferred to her account, a smile appeared on Bai Zhenzhen’s lips. “Now that Yu-zi has become a Golden Instructor, and I’ve risen in the gang!”

“I must win the final Foundation Establishment exam.”

As Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen frantically earned money in the Dark Learning Gang, their strength also began another round of explosive growth!

And time flowed quickly with their work and cultivation, drawing ever closer to the third Foundation Establishment exam next January!
