Inside the office.

Tu Lishan looked at Zhang Yu, whose hair had already turned white, and couldn’t help but frown. “Are you sure you’re alright?”

“If you die suddenly during work and delay the construction period, you’ll have to pay compensation.”

Zhang Yu’s hair had turned white due to excessive fatigue and weakness. Hearing Tu Lishan’s reminder, he said calmly, “It’s okay, Teacher Tu. I know my physical condition very well.”

“Moreover, for a first-level commoner like me, it’s a rare opportunity. I have to seize it with all my strength and fight hard, or how else can I rise above?”

“My recovery ability is very strong. I believe my physique can withstand it!”

Feeling the firmness in Zhang Yu’s eyes, Tu Lishan sighed inwardly. He had seen countless people who dared to fight and work hard over the years, but Zhang Yu’s attitude… it made him feel a kind of intention to disregard life and death!

At this moment, he made a judgment about Zhang Yu in his heart: “The firmness of this boy’s heart towards the Dao is rarely seen in my life!”

“If it were in ancient times hundreds of years ago… he would probably be dead long ago!”

“It is only now that the Immortal Dao is flourishing…”

“In the future, he will either be ruined and never be reborn, or he will rise steadily, pass the postgraduate entrance examination, and climb up layer by layer!”

“With this boy’s temperament, there are only these two results, there is absolutely no third possibility!”

But Tu Lishan understood that the latter result was too slim, and the former result was a more likely possibility, which would also lead to the difficulty in recovering the investment of the Civil Engineering Department in Zhang Yu!

Just then, Director Gao’s message appeared in Tu Lishan’s mind!

Director Gao: “Don’t stop him, but set a limit for him. He can eat a maximum of 10 portions a day!”

Tu Lishan understood that these medicines were meant to squeeze cultivators dry, and did not enhance their foundations out of thin air. Exceeding 10 portions a day would only shorten his lifespan and have no other medicinal effects, simply wasting spirit coins!

Tu Lishan: “But what if Zhang Yu dies…”

Director Gao: “We are the Civil Engineering Department of Myriad Dharma University, not those ordinary universities and colleges that only think about protecting their capital!”

“Since he is so confident, why not give him a chance to fight for his life?”

Hearing Director Gao’s words, Tu Lishan sighed in his heart: “The director is indeed magnanimous, willing to risk losing money to let students fight for their lives!”

Tu Lishan looked at Zhang Yu and said, “Then you need to have a sense of proportion!”

“Remember, stop immediately if you feel something is wrong!”

So, in the last half month of the construction site, Zhang Yu began to work overtime crazily every day, taking medicine, and cultivating!

He switched to the Earth-Wood Saint Body before and after taking medicine, switched to the University Saint Body when practicing cultivation techniques, and chose which Chain-Law Diagram set depending on the workload…

Especially with the blessing of the Earth-Wood Saint Body, the weaker his body became, the more unscrupulously he could swallow medicine and operate Earth-Wood Department cultivation techniques, and his growth rate far exceeded the past!

In addition to this, of course, he continued to refine No. 20 Secret Steel every day!

And in the eyes of many students and teachers, this Zhang Yu was too desperate, pushing himself to the limit, almost unable to hold on!

Che Yufeng was shocked in his heart: “Every time this guy feels like he’s about to fail, he can continue to fight on. Every time he feels like he’s about to die, he manages to survive another day… but if this continues, he will eventually be unable to hold on. How much money does he owe?”

Tu Lishan thought to himself: “With such a firm heart towards cultivation, if he were a rich man, his future would be limitless! What a pity, even if he gets through this, his lifespan will ultimately be reduced too much! Not to mention he’s so weak now, I don’t know how many points he’ll get in this final exam!”

Gongshu Hui also heard some news about Zhang Yu more or less, and witnessed Zhang Yu’s weakened appearance several times!

He also sighed slightly in his heart: “It seems… I misjudged him before. Zhang Yu is just an ordinary poor man on the first level.”

“But how could he be an ordinary poor man if he could deal with Wang before? Could it be because of the pressure from Underworld University that Zhang Yu was abandoned, so he became a poor man now?”

Shaking his head, Gongshu Jin understood the twists and turns in this matter. How could an outsider like him guess correctly?

Seeing Zhang Yu’s desperate posture, Gongshu Jin once again felt the helplessness of the poor!

“Poverty is too terrible, they are staking their lives in such low-value places, but still can’t catch up with us!”

Gongshu Jin thought to himself: “Fortunately, I am a rich man!”

Zhang Yu’s matter only flashed through Gongshu Jin’s mind. His real goal was to surpass Ji Yuan Shu in the final exam!

End of February!

Unknowingly, the time came to the end of the project, and it was also time for Zhang Yu’s first semester of university finals!

Everyone packed their luggage, boarded the flying boat, and embarked on the return journey!

“Including the three months in this field construction site, I have been on the second level for 8 months!”

Zhang Yu, with his white hair, stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the shrinking Magic Artifact Factory below, sighing about the results he had gained here in the past three months!

Not only had his Earth-Wood Saint Body reached its ultimate form, but the Qi Sea Spirit Root in his dantian had also reached a spirit root fusion degree of 100% with the feedback from the Emerald Spirit Gu Worm, further improving his mana circulation, mobilization, and the absorption of spirit energy!

And with the daily consumption of various fierce medicines, the exhalation of spirit stones, and the digestion of high-quality mana in the Profound Creation Relic!

Zhang Yu had also made great progress in terms of mana!

Now his mana reached 546.8, and the quality of his mana reached a level of 157!

In terms of Dao Heart, the growth was a little slower because the internet fees on the construction site were too expensive for past three months, so he lacked the service of Spirit Realm, now reached level 13 (70.8)

His physical strength was pushed to a level of 14.39 by Zhang Yu with the operation of one body refining method after another and the blessing of crazy medicinal power!

With just the increase in these basic data, Zhang Yu’s strength had undergone a leap-forward improvement, and his savings had also increased to 22 spirit coins through the work of these three months!

But these were not his biggest gains!

At this moment, all 206 bones in his body had been refined with No. 20 Spirit Law Secret Steel, possessing a body of bones that could be described as indestructible and incredibly strong in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Sitting back in the cabin of the flying boat, Zhang Yu knew that there probably wouldn’t be such a good all-you-can-eat opportunity in a short time.

“Even if there is such a good opportunity again, there is no need to eat like this!”

Zhang Yu could feel that he had become a little numb to the medicine. The effect was getting worse and worse in the following days!

His body was like sugarcane that had been repeatedly squeezed several times, and no juice could be squeezed out!

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “The next time I take medicine… I should need a lot of medicine to replenish nutrition, vitality, and enhance my foundation!”

He switched to the Martial Dao Saint Body to enhance his self-healing power, and at the same time began to use the activation of his body to heal his injuries!

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “The blessing of the Martial Dao Saint Body… is a little weaker!”

While healing his injuries, Zhang Yu thought in his heart: “After going back, the next goal of cultivation should be to gather the Chain-Law Diagram set of Unimpeded Meridian Flow!”

During this period of time, because he had been working on the construction site, he lacked the time and environment to focus on practicing breathing techniques, so after Zhang Yu finished practicing the Earth-Wood Saint Body, he had no chance to promote Qi Meridian Flow!

“In addition to Qi Meridian Flow, I also need to continue upgrading Yu Xinghan’s Dao Seed, as well as Le Mulan’s Deep Cold Law Vein, and my sister’s Taiqing Talisman…”

Various cultivation plans flashed through his mind, and Zhang Yu’s eyes finally flashed: “But before that, I still have to complete the final exam!”

Zhang Yu clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body and the unbreakable bones, and he thought in his heart: “I wonder what level I can reach now!”

Myriad Dharma University City, inside the 125th-floor dormitory!

Zhang Yu looked at the empty room, knowing that everyone was busy with their own affairs and hadn’t returned yet!

After sending everyone a message that he had arrived home safely, Zhang Yu first went to return the rented Profound Creation Relic and Emerald Spirit Gu Worm!

Then, on the way back, he looked at the arrangements for the final exam!

Unlike the final exam in high school, the final exam in Myriad Dharma University only requires you to apply by yourself and then complete it at the specified time and place!

The people in the Foundation Establishment Class had already completed the final exam, and only Gongshu Jin and Zhang Yu had not completed the final exam because they went to the field construction site!

Zhang Yu looked at the class ranking and found that he had fallen to the very back, 28th place, because there was no bonus from the final exam score!

“28th place in the Foundation Establishment Class, it’s too embarrassing to go out with this ranking, I should apply for the final exam as soon as possible!”

The process of applying for the exam appeared in Zhang Yu’s mind, and he applied for the exam hall one week later!

In the following week, Zhang Yu spent his days studying, cultivating, healing his body, and replenishing nutrition and vitality!

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and Zhang Yu, whose body had recovered to its peak state, strode towards the agreed exam hall!

Those who were paying attention to the final exam were not only the two parties involved, Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin!

Many students in the Foundation Establishment Class were also paying attention to Gongshu Jin’s results!

Ying Xin refreshed the class ranking and thought to herself: “I wonder how much Gongshu Jin will improve this time when he comes back, can he challenge Ji Yuan Shu?”

On the other side, Tu Lishan, as a teacher, was now observing Gongshu Jin’s exam situation through the Spirit Realm Network!

First, in a series of professional course exams, Gongshu Jin relied on the professional skills he had honed on the construction site in the past three months, and completed all the exam content almost perfectly!

Next was the Dao Heart exam!

Although he was in the field construction site, Gongshu Jin could enjoy Spirit Realm services every day to hone his Dao Heart by spending money every day!

Suddenly, Tu Lishan discovered that Zhang Yu was also taking the final exam!

With his teacher authority, he curiously checked Zhang Yu’s exam situation!

“Oh? The professional course is similar to Gongshu Jin’s, almost full marks? It seems that he didn’t work in vain for these three months!”

“Dao Heart is still a little worse, after all, he didn’t use Spirit Realm services much, it’s normal that he can’t compare to Gongshu Jin!”

“His mana is not much different from Gongshu Jin’s?” Tu Lishan nodded slightly and said, “It seems that he was indeed squeezed out of a lot of potential!”

“Next is the body refining exam, right? The two of them are assigned to the same exam hall?”

Thinking of Zhang Yu’s weak state when he left the construction site, Tu Lishan shook his head slightly: “Although his potential has been stimulated again and again, and he didn’t die on the construction site, the damage to his body is too great. Not to mention how much lifespan he has lost, it will probably take a lot of time and spirit coins to recover from his current weakness!”

“Although Zhang Yu’s physique is a bit special, it’s not as powerful as he himself said. It’s far from enough to defeat a rich man like Gongshu Jin just by relying on this!”

Looking at the body refining exam that was about to begin, Tu Lishan thought to himself: “The body refining scores of both parties will probably be the item with the biggest gap!”
