Within the small garden nestled behind the teaching edifice, the sounds of forceful gusts echoed as Zhang Yu meticulously practiced the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” technique, each movement precise and powerful.

Suddenly, a teacher emerged from the side, scrutinizing Zhang Yu and questioning, “Which grade and class are you from? What is your name? Why are you here during class hours? Are you skipping class?”

Zhang Yu, maintaining his composure, responded, “I am Zhang Yu from Grade 11, Class 1. I’m taking advantage of the mathematics lesson to train my martial arts!”

Upon hearing the name Zhang Yu, the teacher’s imposing aura immediately diminished.

Learning that he was skipping mathematics, any semblance of sternness vanished from his face.

Skipping mathematics even counts as truancy? If you haven’t skipped a general knowledge course like mathematics for the sake of cultivating the Immortal Path, can you even be considered an academic ace at Songyang High School? After confirming that Grade 11, Class 1 was indeed having mathematics class at that time, the teacher nodded and said, “There are still 27 minutes left until the bell rings. Remember to hurry back after class, don’t be late for the next one!”

After the teacher left, Zhang Yu resumed practicing the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” in silence.

“Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” level 9 (89/90). The reason he wasn’t practicing this martial skill in the mathematics classroom was because its progress was too rapid, and he didn’t want to attract attention in class.

As he completed the final move, the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” instantly advanced to level 10.

In that instant, countless martial arts experiences and practice memories flooded Zhang Yu’s mind, granting him peak comprehension of the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand,” grappling, and wrestling techniques.

Simultaneously, he felt the effects of the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” at level 10.

When he executed this martial skill again, he could accurately perceive his own center of gravity.

Zhang Yu realized that, should he wish, he could also perceive his opponent’s center of gravity and even use the techniques within the “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand” to instantly break their balance, throwing them to the ground.

“I understand, tripping anyone who gets close, huh!”

“Truly, it’s a purely practical martial art!”

“And it feels like it matches my ‘Limitless Cloud Hand’ and ‘Unyielding Imprint Technique’… quite well?”

Accompanied by streams of white qi erupting from his palms, with Zhang Yu’s mastery of level 10 “Limitless Cloud Hand” and level 10 “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand,” he vaguely felt that he could merge these two martial skills into one.

“By using ‘Formless Cloud Qi’ in place of the explosive power of the hands, I can perform grappling and wrestling techniques from a distance!”

A sudden realization flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind: “Although the ‘Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand’ is purely driven by physical force, this isn’t a flaw, but rather an advantage!”

“Because it means that practitioners can integrate various powerful forces into the ‘Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand’ in the future, whether it’s qi, palm power, or fist strength!”

“This martial skill is like a large framework, capable of accommodating many combat techniques…”

At that moment, Zhang Yu felt Song Hailong’s foresight in practicing this set of “Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand.” It not only suited Song Hailong’s present state, allowing him to use it immediately, but also made preparations for future combat power growth.

“I wonder if he considered it himself, or if it was designed by his family or tutors behind him!”

Dinner time in the cafeteria.

Every student was eating diligently, after all, whether it was the three prestigious schools, key high schools, or ordinary high schools, no high school student was not enthusiastic about eating.

But vaguely, one could sense a wisp of resentment permeating the cafeteria’s air today, a grievance against the cafeteria’s cuisine.

Bai Zhenzhen walked through the cafeteria hall with her tray, her outstanding appearance notwithstanding, her frosty demeanor made her seem unapproachable.

As soon as she sat down, Bai Zhenzhen complained, “Half of the food stalls have switched to selling synthetic food, and the remaining pre-made dishes have all gone up in price. These guys are really going too far!”

Clearly, with the momentum of Oasis Group’s development, synthetic food was being promoted throughout Songyang City and had unknowingly entered the high school cafeteria.

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhao Tianxing and Qian Shen, saying, “We absolutely can’t buy synthetic food. We must resist fiercely and make them lose everything!”

“Synthetic food? Is that even fit for human consumption?”

“And who knows what they’re adding to it…”

Just as Bai Zhenzhen was speaking, Zhang Yu walked over with a large plate of mushy concoction and sat down amidst the three’s astonished gazes.

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed, “Yu Zi! How can you eat that stuff? Aren’t you against eating synthetic food?”

Zhang Yu said matter-of-factly, “The cafeteria’s holding an event today, a free tasting of synthetic food!”

Bai Zhenzhen immediately stood up. “I want to see just how awful this synthetic food is!”

She went to the synthetic food stall, and heard the cafeteria aunt in front of her introducing, “This is meat paste, this is vegetable paste, this is rice paste. After you’ve chosen, then choose the flavor: Mapo tofu flavor, Kung Pao chicken flavor, seafood extravaganza flavor…”

After a while, Bai Zhenzhen returned to her seat with the free synthetic food she had received. After taking a bite, her face showed a look of shock. “This is synthetic food?”

Who knew what kind of Immortal Path techniques were used, but after taking a bite, Bai Zhenzhen discovered that not only the taste and aroma, but even the texture was seven or eight tenths as close to real pre-made dishes.

Bai Zhenzhen remembered that the cafeteria aunt had clearly scooped out various pastes, but after mixing in various flavored seasonings, they took on various textures, some like fatty meat, some like vegetable leaves, some like fish meat… This was simply not the same thing as the synthetic food she had eaten before.

Bai Zhenzhen exclaimed, “Have the related Immortal Path techniques made a breakthrough?”

Zhang Yu said with emotion from the side, “As expected, these big companies won’t do losing business. They dare to launch this stuff to compete with pre-made dishes, they still have confidence!”

“This stuff doesn’t taste bad, and it’s convenient and cheap. In the future Songyang City, I’m afraid that the number of places selling pre-made food will decrease!”

Zhao Tianxing sighed, “Doesn’t that mean a lot of pre-made food factories will close down? A lot more people are going to lose their jobs!”

Good News:

The few of them chatted as they ate. Zhang Yu noticed that Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing seemed troubled, so he asked about it.

Qian Shen sighed and explained that he, Zhao Tianxing, and three other high school freshmen had been recruited into the competition team.

Qian Shen said with a face of shame: “Alas, we, whose scores are not as good as yours, have joined the sports competition team one step ahead. I feel undeserving!”

Zhao Tianxing also looked at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen with some trepidation.

Originally, among classmates, whether or not one entered the competition team was another layer of campus class difference, enough to turn friends as close as father and son against each other.

If low-scoring students snatched the competition spots of high-scoring students, it would be an act of obstructing their studies, enough to trigger a hearty bout of campus bullying, likely ending with one party jumping off a building.

Since the physical education class, Zhao Tianxing had been worried that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen would have opinions about this.

Especially as someone who cared a lot about what others thought, Zhao Tianxing was very worried that people would mistakenly believe that he had used some despicable means to snatch away the competition spot.

But Zhang Yu smiled slightly upon hearing their words: “It’s okay, we already know about this. It’s just those rat bastards in the student council causing trouble!”

Then, he spoke of the competition a month later.

Zhang Yu continued: “Next, we’ll each focus on our cultivation. In a month, we’ll compare our physical education scores to see who can participate in the competition!”

Hearing these words, knowing that the final decision would still be based on scores, Qian Shen and Zhao Tianxing both felt much relieved.

The two thought to themselves: “As expected, we high school students still have to rely on scores!”

After finishing dinner, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen left the school together, preparing to take the subway to White Dragon High School.

Bai Zhenzhen said on the way: “I’ve talked to Song Hailong. We’ll go twice a week, two hours each time. He’ll give you 5,000 for each visit, and give me 2,000!”

Zhang Yu’s spirits lifted upon hearing this: “5,000 each time, twice a week is 10,000, wouldn’t that be 40,000 a month? Damn it, these rich people are really loaded!”

Bai Zhenzhen added: “But he also made a request. If we can’t win a single match against him in two hours of actual combat training, then he won’t need us anymore!”

After speaking, Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and said: “Yu, can you do it?”

Although Zhang Yu had defeated Song Hailong in the martial arts competition, it was ultimately due to the rules of going out of bounds.

And if their physical strength didn’t catch up with Song Hailong in the future, or even if the gap widened, it would be even harder to win.

“Of course I can!”

Zhang Yu said: “Little Song is just relying on his thick skin, great strength, and resistance to hits. Once my physical strength slowly catches up with him, he won’t win a single match!”

“It’s you I’m worried about, Zhen!”

Bai Zhenzhen snorted and touched her lower abdomen, saying: “I begged my godmother to lend me some money so I can rent a spirit root to cultivate every day. My progress speed in the future… might startle you, Yu!”

Speaking of renting spirit roots, Zhang Yu felt a surge of curiosity: “What kind of spirit root are you renting? When will you let me borrow it for a spin?”

Bai Zhenzhen subconsciously touched her stomach: “Borrow it for a spin?”

Zhang Yu said matter-of-factly: “We are brothers in arms, can’t I borrow the spirit root you rented?”

Bai Zhenzhen frowned and said, “Let me think about it!”

She thought to herself: “Can my spirit root be lent to Yu? Can it? It doesn’t seem completely impossible…”

Zhang Yu said from the side: “You’re so stingy, I’ve let you play with my talisman scripture worth 100,000 several times!”

Bai Zhenzhen snapped: “You have the nerve to say that? You only let me touch it each time, not even let me activate it a few times!”

Zhang Yu said helplessly: “I’m afraid you’ll accidentally bankrupt me.

I’ll let you play with it on the road today, okay!”

The two boarded the subway and luckily managed to snag two seats this time.

Under the urging of the ritual, Zhang Yu continued to cultivate his inner methods and improve his Dao heart, seizing every minute.

Bai Zhenzhen leaned against him and curiously explored the talisman scripture.

More than half an hour later, the two arrived at White Dragon High School, showed the monthly pass that Song Hailong had helped them obtain, and headed to the agreed-upon training room.

“Yu, look, so many of them are kneeling while taking classes. What are they doing?”

“Who knows, maybe it’s a custom of White Dragon!”

Opening the door of the agreed-upon training room, they saw that Song Hailong was already doing warm-up exercises inside.

Seeing Zhang Yu arrive, Song Hailong’s eyes lit up, and he pointed to the ground and said: “Lie down!”
