Zhang Yu rapidly waved his palms several times in front of his face.

Looking with his original left eye, he saw a blur of afterimages left by the rapidly moving hands.

But when he looked with his right eye, the Chrono-Scarred Demon Pupil, he saw the rapidly moving hand clearly, every line on the palm distinct, as if the hand had slowed down.

Especially as Zhang Yu concentrated, the feeling of the world slowing down became more pronounced!

At the same time, Zhang Yu could feel the Chrono-Scarred Demon Pupil further absorbing the mana within him to maintain its function!

Zhang Yu estimated in his heart, “The stronger the slowing effect, the more mana is consumed!”

“In a state of extreme slowdown, the entire world appears to be slowed down tenfold in my eyes!”

“And with my current mana reserves, combined with the Qi Sea Spiritual Root constantly replenishing mana, I can probably maintain it for an hour!”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. This chrono-scarred ability was similar to the full concentration of the Celestial Martial Heart Refining Art, but with greater control, clearer vision, and a greater degree of slowdown, and a much longer duration!

With a thought, he withdrew from the chrono-scarred effect, and the world returned to its normal speed!

Then, Zhang Yu waved his arms and legs, feeling a “weakness” throughout his body!

This was because with the removal of the Flood Dragon Spiritual Pivot, the temporary level 1 boost to physical strength that it provided was also gone!

Moving his limbs, Zhang Yu thought, “It was temporary power anyway. It’s better to lose it sooner and get used to it!”

On the other side, Bai Zhenzhen had also completed the surgery. With a shift of her body, she shot out with a gust of wind, appearing in every corner of the room like a teleport, leaving afterimages behind!

Bai Zhenzhen laughed, “Yu Zi, this thing is useful.”

But the next moment, Bai Zhenzhen stopped with a cry, “No, no, my mana is about to be drained, and my bones can’t handle it!”

Zhang Yu said, “Ah Zhen, now that we have enough money, find some time to prepare for Foundation Establishment!”

Bai Zhenzhen nodded expectantly. As long as she bought a Celestial Spiritual Root, she could use her True Spiritual Root for Foundation Establishment under its protection!

Starfire Real Person gave the two some pointers on the precautions for using the Dharma Carcass, and then they left together!

As they walked out of the Oasis Building, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen thanked Starfire Real Person and proposed to transfer a sum of money to express their gratitude!

“You want to give me a reward?” Starfire Real Person looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen. A sudden realization flashed in his mind. He smiled and said, “You two little devils, are you worried that I have ulterior motives, want to sign a contract with you, or exploit you like Wang, and are trying to test me?”

Seeing the change in Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen’s expressions, Starfire Real Person continued, “Hehe, good vigilance. I hope you will maintain it in the future!”

“But don’t worry, I don’t have that kind of idea for now. Even if I did originally… I don’t now!”

Starfire Real Person explained, “After all, you two are not Yu Xinghan. With your two’s potential, you will definitely shine when you enter university!”

“Even if I bind you with chains, sign exploitative contracts with you, it will only make the big shots who want to invest in you in the future dissatisfied!”

“Then I will become a thorn in their side, an obstacle they must overcome before investing in you!”

“It’s like greedily occupying too many shares in a very promising start-up company and refusing to let go, ultimately trapping oneself and being solved by the big shots!”

Starfire Real Person smiled. “And I’m just giving you some guidance. I’m not throwing money at you. If you recognize me as your master, remember to mention my name after you become famous in the future, and I’ll be satisfied!”

Hearing Starfire Real Person’s explanation, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen exchanged glances and bowed together, “Master.”

Starfire Real Person nodded contentedly. “I rushed over here during a break. Now I have to go back to work overtime!”

“You guys study the Foundation Establishment cultivation methods you’ve obtained yourselves first. I’ll start guiding you in a couple of days!”

Looking at Starfire Real Person’s departing figure, Bai Zhenzhen turned to Zhang Yu and asked, “Yu Zi, what do we do next?”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s pay back the money first. After we pay it back, I’ll help you with Foundation Establishment!”

So in the following days, Zhang Yu took the time to pay back the money in installments, according to the details of the loan, at 1.3 times the original amount!

And as the Oasis Group’s subsequent reward of 36 million was transferred into their accounts, Zhang Yu felt even more confident in repaying the money!

In addition to this 1.3 times loan, he and Bai Zhenzhen also paid off all the previous loans from various platforms in one go, with no more debts!

After repaying nearly 80 million, Zhang Yu’s account was almost empty!

But Bai Zhenzhen’s account still had plenty of money, enough for her to buy the Celestial Spiritual Root!

So after the Celestial Spiritual Root arrived and another forty minutes passed, Bai Zhenzhen’s mana surged, and strange phenomena came from her physical body. Finally, with the crazy agitation of spiritual energy, she finally stepped into Foundation Establishment!

As Bai Zhenzhen entered Foundation Establishment, a cyan mark appeared on her lower abdomen, slowly blooming like a cyan lotus!

At the same time, the Spiritual Root in Bai Zhenzhen’s dantian rapidly transformed from a seed into a delicate cyan lotus, completely merging with her!

Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said uncomfortably, “I feel… like my True Spiritual Root is about to evolve again!”

She said uncertainly, “This evolution might turn into a Divine Spiritual Root!”

Zhang Yu was shocked, and Fu Ji hurriedly said, “Why so suddenly? Can you suppress it?”

Bai Zhenzhen took a deep breath, her face flushed, and her aura flickered in and out of existence!

After a long time, the originally blooming cyan lotus gradually closed!

Bai Zhenzhen finally exhaled and said, “I can still suppress it!”

Fu Ji sighed. “A natural Spiritual Root that can evolve is already the target of strict supervision by the Ten Great Sects and the Eight Divisions of Righteous Gods!”

“If you turn into a Divine Spiritual Root, the consequences are unpredictable!”

Zhang Yu asked worriedly, “Ah Zhen, can you handle it?”

Bai Zhenzhen smiled and patted her stomach, saying, “It’s just suppressing a Spiritual Root. I’ve suppressed it before. It’s no big deal!”

The next day, inside a practice arena in the city center!

Starfire Real Person looked at the two arriving people, and his whole body suddenly burst into flames, as if a sea of fire was about to engulf them!

Seeing the two instantly become extremely solemn, and the confident, high-spirited aura on their bodies suppressed, Starfire Real Person thought to himself, “Having achieved such results in high school, confidence and pride are inevitable!”

“Even in the next nine months, if they continue to be praised by these guys, it’s not impossible for them to become arrogant and self-righteous!”

“Entering university with this mentality and being defeated by the geniuses above, and then being trampled on hard, it’s possible that they will become depressed!”

“Instead of being hit hard when they go up, it’s better for me to strike them a blow and give them a preventive shot in advance!”

As he spoke, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen only felt the temperature in the air getting higher and higher. The air they breathed in seemed to burn their lungs!

Starfire Real Person said slowly, “Foundation Establishment is indeed a remarkable person in the First Layer, but after going to the Second Layer, it’s nothing special!”

“After you enter Myriad Dharma University, you will definitely be selected into the Foundation Establishment Class. At that time, your classmates will definitely be students from all layers who have completed Foundation Establishment in high school!”

“Unlike you who lack resources to continue improving after Foundation Establishment in the First Layer, they can still rely on the resources above to continue to improve rapidly after completing Foundation Establishment in high school!”

“So after you enter the Foundation Establishment Class of university, you may find that you have become students in the middle and lower grades, or even the lowest grades. You will inevitably encounter frustration, repeated insults, and discrimination from the people above towards the people of the First Layer!”

Listening to Starfire Real Person’s words, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen gradually calmed down. The impetuous atmosphere that had arisen from the various harvests, praise, and compliments in recent days seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment!

Starfire Real Person nodded slightly and continued, “I’m telling you this not to make you accept your fate, but to correct your mentality so you won’t be discouraged after you go up!”

“Your talents are very good, and every effort you make is useful. Don’t let down your past efforts!”

After teaching the two a lesson, Starfire Real Person began the real guidance!

He said, “The conditions in the First Layer are limited, and there aren’t many things that are helpful for Foundation Establishment. After thinking about it… in the next nine months, you will continue to cultivate your cultivation methods. I will mainly use the most primitive methods to increase the efficiency of your improvement in Dao Heart, mana, and physical strength!”

“After all, I haven’t been in contact with undergraduate education for a long time, and I don’t know what the process is like for new students up there now!”

“But in any case, as long as you consolidate your foundation in the next nine months and continuously improve your basic data, it will definitely make your university cultivation easier!”

Zhang Yu asked doubtfully, “What does ‘primitive methods’ mean?”

Starfire Real Person revealed a sinister smile and said, “For example, Dao Heart training will involve you directly facing the impact of my Martial Dao Will to temper your will!”

“Of course, this is just the beginning!”

“After you get used to it enough, I will start ambushing you from time to time!”

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were shocked, “Ah? You’ll ambush us?”

Starfire Real Person smiled slightly, and a Martial Dao Will like a raging fire swept out, impacting towards Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen like a storm!

Looking at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen sweating profusely, their faces changing wildly, Starfire Real Person said indifferently, “Maintaining tension and caution at all times, being prepared for a life-or-death battle at all times, in this state… you can accelerate the improvement of your Dao Heart!”

“Although this method is very primitive, the conditions in the First Layer are simple, and it’s just right to use on you!”
