What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?

Chapter 111: It's a Brother, Lend Me Some Money! (Thanks to Alliance Leader 'Shangxian Qitian')

On the arena.

White True's figure was like a ghostly shadow, flashing back and forth at high speed within the circle, constantly dodging the steel balls shooting from all directions.

After two months of arduous training, White True's body, under the repeated tempering of the Thunderstruck True Body and the aid of the True Spiritual Root, continuously improved the reaction speed and explosive speed of her muscles.

At this moment, the nerves running throughout her body constantly transmitted her will, controlling the contraction and explosion of her muscles, dodging the high-speed steel balls while moving.

Because her body's reactions and movements were too fast, she created a series of afterimages while always managing to dodge the steel balls at the last possible moment.

"Much slower than Yu's hand."

Compared to Zhang Yu, who went all out during their actual combat training, the steel balls in front of her seemed much slower, allowing White True to even evaluate them while dodging.

At the same time, almost all the contestants from the three major high schools were like White True at this moment, dodging the high-speed steel balls shooting from all directions with ease, forming a stark contrast with the other contestants who were constantly being eliminated.

...

On the spectator stand.

Gang Shan nodded and said, "Jingchen, you're right. These two Songyang High School students have indeed caught up to the level of the three major high schools."

Le Jingchen smiled and said, "This is the impact of the breakthrough in body refinement technology. Even students who were far inferior to the level of the three major high schools in the past now have the possibility of catching up to those top students after undergoing surgical modifications."

Gang Shan said, "However, their performance seems to be very different from Le Mulan's? They don't seem as relaxed as Le Mulan."

Le Jingchen nodded, taking it for granted, "The super metabolism surgery brings about a comprehensive improvement in drug resistance, allowing for the excessive use of various drugs."

"And the effects of drugs cover all aspects, whether it's strength, speed, explosiveness, balance, flexibility, reaction, focus, digestion... all functions of the human body can be improved through potions."

"In other words, the improvement to a person from super metabolism surgery is the most comprehensive, with no blind spots or weaknesses."

"Like this level in front of us, in addition to the speed and reaction of the body, it also tests the brain's focus and endurance, which is difficult to cultivate with most body refinement techniques."

"But for Le Mulan, who has undergone super metabolism surgery, all she needs is a shot into the skull. If one shot isn't enough, then two shots. She can possess a level of focus that surpasses all the other students in the arena."

Le Jingchen recommended, "If you are interested in super metabolism body refinement technology, you can check out the Ziyun Pharmaceutical's official website, where there will be more detailed information..."

After Le Jingchen promoted Ziyun for a while, Gang Shan asked curiously, "Would this surgery be very expensive?"

Le Jingchen nodded, "Ziyun has always wanted to use new technology to benefit the world. Although the cost of this technology is not low, the surgery fee has now been reduced to below 1 million."

Gang Shan said, "This price is indeed not cheap, but recently the 'Dare to Borrow' platform and I discussed launching a benefit for everyone."

"As long as you enter the 'Dare to Borrow' platform to borrow money from me, you can waive the handling fee for six installments."

"If you're a brother, come to me to borrow money..."

Le Jingchen quietly watched the other party advertise, sighing in his heart, "Although Gang Shan is a body refinement influencer, he doesn't sell medicine or techniques, only doing loan advertisements, which are the safest. The mortality rate of his fans is among the lowest in the body refinement influencer world. He's a relatively cautious streamer."

"I wonder how much the company paid him to promote the new technology this time."

...

At the same time, just as Le Jingchen and Gang Shan finished their respective rounds of advertising.

All the ordinary high school students in the arena had been eliminated.

As the dodging space continued to shrink, the students from key high schools also began to be eliminated one after another.

He Dayou arduously dodged the high-speed steel balls shooting from all directions. As the dodging space continued to shrink, his brain was highly focused, and beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

Suddenly, he felt a slowness in his leg. The muscle's force exertion didn't seem to keep up with his brain's thoughts.

Then, accompanied by a series of crackling impacts, He Dayou fell to the ground unwillingly.

The transplanted muscles ultimately failed to be completely controlled by him, and after a long period of high-intensity operation, a mistake finally occurred.

Looking at his time, it was 58 seconds.

He sighed regretfully and returned to the Songyang High School's rest area.

Zhao Tianxing looked at He Dayou with some envy, thinking in his heart, "He actually lasted for 58 seconds. If I went up there, I guess I could only last for 30 seconds at most, right?"

But He Dayou, who was envied by Zhao Tianxing, didn't feel any joy.

At this moment, He Dayou was looking at the live broadcast screen with a face full of longing.

"None of the three major high schools have been eliminated?"

"The new body refinement technology... if only I could undergo this kind of modification."

...

Le Jingchen commented, "The students from key high schools have been almost completely eliminated. The circle has shrunk by almost half. Next, the students from the three major high schools will be hit."

Gang Shan asked curiously, "Jingchen, who do you think will ultimately win this round's championship?"

Le Jingchen said calmly, "The students from Red Pagoda High School are generally too large, which is the most disadvantageous in this round. They should be the first among the three major high schools to be hit by the steel balls."

"The two students from Songyang have the advantage of small size and can last a little longer, one step behind Red Pagoda High School, and will be hit along with most of the contestants from Ziyun and White Dragon."

"The final first place... should be between Le Mulan and Yu Xinghan."

"Although I have great confidence in this younger sister's strength and Ziyun's new technology, Yu Xinghan is, after all, a Golden Core disciple, and the investment in him far exceeds that of all the other contestants present. All his stats are also the highest in the arena. Mulan may not be able to beat him..."

In Le Jingchen's comments, although he praised Yu Xinghan very highly, he constantly emphasized the other party's identity as a Golden Core disciple.

Obviously, he hoped that even if Yu Xinghan won later, the reason would be attributed to him being a Golden Core disciple, and if Le Mulan won, it would be because of the power of Ziyun's technology.

And the next competition process was also accurately predicted by Le Jingchen one by one.

First, the students from Red Pagoda High School were hit by steel balls amidst angry roars.

Then, some contestants from Ziyun and White Dragon High School were hit by steel balls.

Bang!

Chu Qiuhe felt the sensation of the steel ball hitting his arm. He snorted coldly, stopped dodging directly, and allowed the steel balls to hit him hard, making crackling sounds. He walked out of the room slowly as if nothing had happened.

"Dodging back and forth is really annoying. As expected, hard resistance is more suitable for me."

While walking, he also turned his attention to the big screen, concerned about the performance of the remaining students who were still competing.

Lian Tianji, on the other side, was also hit after persisting for more than ten seconds because he couldn't dodge in time.

Welcoming the admiring gazes of countless ordinary high school and key high school students, Lian Tianji walked towards the rest area while staring intently at the live broadcast screen to see who else was competing.

A trace of regret appeared on his face: "As expected, I still can't compare to Sacred First and Zhang Yu, can I?"

As the students from the three major high schools were gradually eliminated, Gang Shan was surprised to find that White True and Zhang Yu were still in the arena.

In addition to Zhang Yu and White True, the only remaining contestants on the scene were Le Mulan and Yu Xinghan.

"They lasted until the top four?"

Le Jingchen also felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was normal.

"After all, the physical strength of this Zhang Yu and White True is ranked 5th and 7th in this arena, and they also have the advantage of small size. It's normal for them to squeeze into the top 4 in this round."

"I shouldn't have subconsciously underestimated them because of Songyang High School. After all, they should have also applied the newly breakthrough body refinement technology."

"These two people may have the possibility of entering the top 5 in the total score of the physical competition."

Le Jingchen secretly reflected on himself, then looked at the arena.

At this moment, the circle had shrunk to almost the size of one person. Zhang Yu had already activated his full concentration state, observing the slowly shooting steel balls and moving his body bit by bit, trying his best to dodge each steel ball.

White True, on the other hand, twisted her body again and again, making all kinds of incredible dodging movements, using amazing movement speed, nerve reaction, and flexibility to make up for her lack of focus and continue to persevere.

But for the two of them, the most difficult thing now was not the dodging itself, but the need to constantly turn their heads and bodies to see the steel balls shooting from all directions in the case of insufficient dodging space.

White True gritted her teeth in her heart and said, "At this rate, I won't be able to see them all."

As the dodging space further shrank, Zhang Yu and White True's dodging became more and more difficult, and they were finally eliminated one after another.

4th place, Songyang High School, White True, 2 minutes 13 seconds

3rd place, Songyang High School, Zhang Yu, 2 minutes 18 seconds

White True and Zhang Yu, who had left the arena, welcomed the respectful gazes of the surrounding contestants and also looked at the live broadcast screen with concern, looking at Le Mulan and Yu Xinghan, who were still competing for first place.

White True said somewhat unwillingly, "Those two guys... I feel like they can see the steel balls shooting from behind them?"

At the same time, Le Mulan on the other side was no longer as calm as she was at the beginning.

Her eyes and ears were extremely sensitive under the effect of the tenfold stimulant, discerning the changes in the surrounding airflow and judging the position from which the steel balls were shooting.

Her brain was operating at an ultra-extreme level under the stimulation of the tenfold nootropic agent, constantly judging the order of the next dodging movements, and dodging one after another high-speed steel balls according to the optimal route.

The rolling blood flow was like a great river, transporting the potion to every muscle in her body, stimulating the contraction and explosion of the muscles, allowing each of her movements to bring up continuous afterimages.

Even so, as the circle shrank, Le Mulan also felt that dodging became more and more difficult. Her brain became hotter and hotter under high-speed operation, and sweat kept secreting from her forehead, flowing down her cheeks and all the way down her snow-white neck.

Especially as the dodging space shrank, Le Mulan was completely unable to turn around, and her perception of the steel balls shooting from behind relied entirely on hearing, which became more and more difficult.

Bang!

The moment she was hit in the back by the steel ball, Le Mulan suddenly relaxed, and her figure flashed out of the small room.

2nd place, Ziyun High School, Le Mulan, 2 minutes 25 seconds

When Le Mulan, who had left the arena, also looked at the live broadcast screen, she was shocked to find that Yu Xinghan was still dodging in that small circle.

Le Mulan was shocked in her heart: "How did he do it?"

Yu Xinghan felt the slowed-down world, and the third eye in his brain seemed to be able to feel the shock of countless people on the scene.

"Do you all think this is difficult?"

Level 10 Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement Technique allowed him to see a slowed-down world in a state of full concentration.

The third eye in his brain allowed him to have a 360-degree view.

And the highest physical strength among all the contestants, under his explosion, showed the most terrifying speed.

...

On the spectator stand, Le Jingchen looked at Yu Xinghan's movements and thought to himself, "This guy... can see behind him? If there is no mana operation, then it is some kind of physical modification effect?"

"But White Dragon High School doesn't have relevant technology either. Could it be the means of Starfire Real Person? Or... is this guy's natural peculiarity?"

Le Jingchen couldn't be sure, but he didn't raise any objections.

After all, sports competitions test physical strength. If the body has peculiarities, it is either a congenital advantage or a technical advantage, both of which are within the scope of the rules.

And at the next moment, there was a burst of exclamations on the scene.

...

On the arena.

Just as the circle on the ground shrank to the point where it was increasingly difficult for Yu Xinghan to stand, he squatted down and pointed downwards with one finger.

He actually touched the ground with one index finger, crossed his legs, and just 'sat' steadily on the circle.

Then, with his index finger touching the ground, other parts of his body continued to adjust their posture, like a silver tree dancing wildly, dodging steel balls in various incredible and beyond-human-limit postures.

In the next few seconds, Yu Xinghan showed everyone the power, speed, balance, flexibility, reaction... a perfect and shocking body that showed a dominant level of strength in all aspects.

Until the circle was completely shrunk, smaller than that finger's land, Yu Xinghan flashed slightly in the shocked eyes of the audience, and with a force of his fingertips, he soared into the sky, dodging the last wave of steel balls.

And the steel balls shooting from all directions also stopped shooting as the circle was completely constricted.

When Yu Xinghan's figure fell from mid-air and stood in the room again, he still hadn't been hit by a single steel ball.

1st place, White Dragon High School, Yu Xinghan, 2 minutes 33 seconds

Yu Xinghan in the big screen smiled slightly at everyone present and said lightly: "Xianyun Group will provide imitation demon muscle body refinement services in Songyang City starting next month. Welcome everyone to pay attention."
