The astronomical sum mentioned by the doll sent a tremor through Zhang Yu’s heart, his eyes gleaming with desire.

Right now, he was indeed desperate to earn more money.

After all, in Kunxu, money equated to potential, future prospects, and power.

Without money, he couldn’t even afford the next month’s loan interest, and as a penniless wretch, he felt utterly insecure.

The doll continued to persuade, “Moreover, the risk involved isn’t as great as you imagine.

The reason you feel it’s dangerous is simply because of the company’s propaganda.

This propaganda constantly implants the idea of ‘don’t antagonize the company’ and ‘antagonizing the company will lead to dire consequences’ into your mind!”

“The fact that the dark tutoring world has persisted all this time means it exists for a reason…”

After listening to the doll’s explanation, Zhang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the situation.

Major corporations wielded immense control over the first level of Kunxu and could even request the aid of the Eight Divine Protectors to investigate information from all sides.

However, not every place in this world was under their absolute control, nor were there no forces capable of concealing things from the Eight Divine Protectors’ scrutiny.

“The poorer the areas, the more impoverished ghosts there are, the fewer cultivators there are, the worse the infrastructure, the fewer surveillance devices, and the easier it is to evade the company’s surveillance!”

“As for the Eight Divine Protectors and the Municipal Government, those large gangs, which of them don’t pay taxes and profess their faith piously? They still have divine protection!”

Zhang Yu was speechless. “Paying taxes and professing faith gives you license to break the law?”

The doll replied matter-of-factly, “Why shouldn’t paying taxes and professing faith allow you to break the law?”

“Besides, every major gang has the backing of another major corporation.

Gangs are just one of the tools that corporations use to fight other corporations.

After all, the Ten Great Sects monopolize Kunxu, but the companies beneath the Ten Great Sects… are in fierce competition!”

“Gangs are like chamber pots in the hands of corporations; they have their own niche!”

“Listen to me, if you were an ordinary high school student, I definitely wouldn’t recommend you go.

But you possess level 10 cultivation arts; you’re perfectly suited to concealing your identity and giving illegal lessons!”

“Besides, we’re in the same boat now; if something happens to you, I’ll be doomed too. Why would I lie to you?”

Zhang Yu had heard rumors about gangs in the past, but this was the first time he’d heard so many inside details.

Although it all sounded logical, Zhang Yu couldn’t completely trust the evil deity before him.

Therefore, he sent a message to Zhang Pianpian, inquiring about the dark tutoring world.

Zhang Pianpian: Why are you asking about this?

Zhang Yu: Heard about it from a friend. I’m short on funds, so I’m looking for ways to make money.

Zhang Pianpian: Well, you were able to seize first place in the Martial Arts Competition, so you do have some capital.

Zhang Pianpian: Try going to this address. Do it if you can, and if you can’t, continue to accumulate strength.

Then, Zhang Pianpian initiated a video call.

After Zhang Yu answered, he saw her drawing a talisman with her fingertip, and a concealment talisman traveled along the internet cable and landed on his head.

Zhang Pianpian: “Alright, this concealment talisman can prevent others from seeing through your background and help you conceal your identity for 12 hours!”

“Besides that, if you want to conceal your face and physique, you can try your newly practiced Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi!”

Zhang Yu looked curiously at Zhang Pianpian drawing the talisman and asked, “How much faith level is required to be able to draw talismans across the internet?”

Zhang Pianpian: “Don’t think about that now. Focus on the task at hand!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu looked at the address Zhang Pianpian had sent: a location nearly 70 kilometers from the center of Songyang City, practically the boonies of the boonies.

Pondering Zhang Pianpian’s words, a thought flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind: “Sister also knows about the dark tutoring world, but she seems to think I might not be able to get any jobs? Is it because she doesn’t know that I’ve mastered several level 10 cultivation arts, so she thinks I won’t be able to make it in the dark tutoring world?”

Zhang Yu trusted Zhang Pianpian far more than the doll.

Looking outside, the night was dark, and neon lights hung high in the sky; it was the perfect time to leave.

Moreover, he had a concealment talisman to mask his identity.

“But if I’m going to the dark tutoring world, I really do need to hide my identity.

Sister said I could try Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi?”

At this thought, Zhang Yu’s eyes suddenly flashed: “Does that mean I need to control my muscles throughout my body to change my appearance?”

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering how to use the Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi to change his appearance, the doll hanging around his neck exclaimed in surprise: “You even have such a powerful woman protecting you? She can even draw talismans across the internet! Her talisman mastery is not low!”

Zhang Yu ignored the doll and instead tried to change the muscles on his face.

With his level 10 Crimson Marrow Primordial Qi cultivation, his control over the muscles throughout his body had already reached an unprecedented peak.

It was just that he hadn’t realized before that he could use this trick to change his appearance.

Now, with a little experimentation, he saw that his image in the mirror had changed drastically, transforming from a jade tree facing the wind to an ordinary fellow.

After controlling the muscles throughout his body, even his height had shortened by a bit, making him look like a completely different stranger.

Half an hour later, as Zhang Yu got closer and closer to that place, the infrastructure on the road became increasingly worse.

When he was still more than ten kilometers away from his destination, there wasn’t even a bus stop anymore.

Zhang Yu had to rely on his own legs to run there.

Fortunately, with his current physical strength, running was neither slow nor too tiring.

However, along the way, the houses became shorter, the roads became worse, and the alleys on both sides were pitch black, silent, and sparsely lit.

Zhang Yu felt as though he had traveled from a futuristic metropolis to a dilapidated small town.

In comparison, even the apartment he rented could be considered a good place.

Seeing such a quiet night, Zhang Yu felt somewhat unaccustomed.

“That’s right, those who live around here are all mortals, so naturally it’s bedtime for them!”

Sleep, a word that had gradually become distant for Zhang Yu, filled his heart with a myriad of emotions.
“Even so, it is precisely such impoverished places that lack surveillance and management. The company is unwilling to invest too much in construction here, thus leaving a space for gangs to survive!”

Continuing forward, when Zhang Yu felt his body slightly heat up and he began to sweat, he finally arrived at the address.

A grand gate, vehicles constantly entering and exiting, a security booth at the entrance, and the sign “Songyang North Star High-Tech Service Industry Park”… all of this was completely different from the dark and damp gang headquarters Zhang Yu had imagined.

Zhang Yu was surprised, “This is the territory of a gang that does illegal tutoring? It looks too legitimate, doesn’t it?”

Wa Wa said, “They pay taxes according to the law and are devout believers. They are legitimate gangs!”

Zhang Yu frowned. He had never imagined that the word “legitimate” could be associated with gangs.

Zhang Yu wondered, “Shouldn’t gangs be all about fighting and killing, something that can’t be brought to the light?”

Wa Wa chuckled. “Those you speak of are just small fry mixed in at the bottom, tools to be used and discarded.

What matters when you’re on the path is money and connections. Only knowing how to fight and kill will get you killed in the streets sooner or later!”

Wa Wa seemed to know this very well. She continued, “Look at this service industry park. It’s the territory of the Dark Learning Gang, specializing in illegal tutoring, manual decryption and modification, spreading pirated manuals, and all sorts of other businesses. The company behind them is the Deep Sea Education Group!”

Zhang Yu was surprised again. “Deep Sea Education Group?”

He remembered that the tutoring classes the original body had found were under the name of Deep Sea Education Group.

Zhang Yu was puzzled. “I remember that Deep Sea Education Group itself is an education group that develops manuals and runs tutoring institutions. Why would they support the Dark Learning Gang?”

Wa Wa chuckled again. “What’s so new about that? They’re not the only company doing educational business.

The Dark Learning Gang is the tool they use to crack the manuals of rival companies, help with manual experiments, and attack enemy gangs… in short, they do all sorts of dirty work!”

As they spoke, Zhang Yu had already entered the park.

Following the address given by Zhang Pianpian, he found the number plate of a small building.

Along the way, the security guards in the park were polite, and the scenery on the roadside was pleasant. Zhang Yu couldn’t see that this was gang territory at all.

Looking at the small building in front of him, Zhang Yu pushed the door open and entered.

After thinking about it, he decided to follow Zhang Pianpian’s instructions and said to the receptionist, “I’m here to sell lessons!”

The receptionist smiled and said, “Okay, sir. Please wait in Room 105. Our sales staff will be right with you!”

Zhang Yu walked in the direction the receptionist pointed. As he passed a few rooms, he faintly heard arguing coming from them.

“Damn it… to sell this martial art, two of my brothers were fined into bankruptcy, and one brother was dissected and sold by the company. And now you’re still pressing the price down?”

“You dog, it’s useless to yell at me. That’s how the gang rules are. Seventh-level lessons are worth this much!”

“Rules! Rules! I used to go to Golden Lesson Gang’s territory alone and destroy sixteen of their underground tutoring classes, why didn’t you tell me about the rules then? Now that I’m old and can’t learn anymore, you’re telling me about the rules…”

Seeming to sense someone approaching, the room door was closed, and Zhang Yu could no longer hear the noise inside.

Entering Room 105, Zhang Yu waited for a while before a polite middle-aged man walked in, closed the door, and politely asked, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

Just then, Wa Wa’s voice sounded in Zhang Yu’s mind: “Tell him you have a batch of lessons to sell, and you would like to have it appraised!”

“You don’t understand the local gangs, just do as I say, don’t let them treat you like a newbie. Let me help you negotiate the price, you’ll definitely earn more!”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect this Wa Wa to be able to transmit sound directly into his mind.

However, he felt that what Wa Wa was asking him to say was fine, so he decided to combine the information Wa Wa gave him and have a conversation with the other party.

Zhang Yu lowered his voice and said, “I have a batch of lessons to sell, please appraise them first!”

Only to see Zhang Yu’s body shake, and streams of milky white aura poured out of his body, turning into a cloud of mist that surrounded him in the blink of an eye.

It was none other than the tenth-level Limitless Cloud Hand.
