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

"Did Mo Tianyi contact you?"

In the school corridor, Zhang Yu listened to Bai Zhenzhen's account, finally nodding slightly: "Indeed, there's no need to tell them the truth right now."

Bai Zhenzhen continued, "And their boss, I always feel like something's off about him."

"I told you before, right? I tried to investigate his identity."

"According to Mo Tianyi and the others, this boss also won a prize in the competition when he was a freshman."

"I investigated for several weeks, and simply studied all the freshman competitions of the three famous schools over the past few years. Only 2 people who won prizes could be considered poor."

"But as far as I know, both of these people have already signed contracts with White Dragon High School and have absolutely no chance of being admitted to the top ten universities."

Zhang Yu said upon hearing this, "So that means Mo Tianyi and the others were deceived?"

Bai Zhenzhen shook her head again, with a strange expression, "According to Mo Tianyi and the others, this boss should have signed a contract with them under the witness of the Great God of Heavenly Covenant, promising to get into the top ten universities and, when capable, take them to the second level together."

"In short, I don't understand this situation."

As they spoke, they arrived at the training ground.

...

On the training ground.

Martial arts teacher Lei Jun had already been waiting for them to attend the martial arts competition tutoring.

Since Zhang Pianpian came to Songyang High School yesterday, the martial arts competition had been re-allowed for them to participate in, and tutoring was started again.

Three lessons a week, costing 3000 per week.

Although it was a very cheap fee for the teacher, it was still a considerable burden for Zhang Yu.

After paying this week's 3,000 tutoring fee, Zhang Yu's savings also dropped to more than 35,000.

At this moment, on the field, Lei Jun was wearing a vest with the four large characters 'Martial Arts are Great' written on the front, earnestly warming up.

Besides Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, there were no other students around.

Simply because the participants in the freshman martial arts competition were only the two of them.

Unlike the magic competition, where even if you don't win a prize, you can still see the world.

In the martial arts competition arena, there is a real possibility of being crippled by students from the three famous schools.

Especially for the poor, there is even a possibility of being bankrupted alive by students from the three famous schools.

After all, the various on-site emergency expenses, the cost of going to the hospital after a serious injury, and the subsequent treatment costs... will increase exponentially depending on the severity of the injury.

So after feeling hopeless about winning a prize in the competition, neither the rich nor the poor among the freshmen chose to send money to the martial arts competition.

At this moment, seeing Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen arrive, Lei Jun greeted them and said, "I've already signed you two up."

Then he sent a website to the two of them: "Buy insurance first today."

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both understood this, the first priority in actual combat is to buy insurance.

However, after looking at the price list, both of them chose the cheapest insurance.

It's not that they can't afford high-end insurance, but that low-end insurance is more cost-effective.

After all, rather than spending money on insurance, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen would rather spend money on improving their strength and winning higher rankings in the competition.

Lei Jun reminded from the side: "Your insurance can only support medical expenses below 100,000. Once you are seriously injured, you will have to pay out of your own pocket."

"Be careful not to get injured, and get injured less."

Zhang Yu deeply agreed with this. The first place in the martial arts competition is only 50,000 in prize money and the right to use a set of expert-level martial arts. Don't get a body full of injuries to win this first place, and end up spending hundreds of thousands on treatment fees.

Lei Jun sighed from the side: "But you guys are considered lucky now. Back then, the competitions I participated in allowed the use of weapons. Although there were referees watching, every year there were still students who either died in the arena or dropped out of school with a mountain of debt."

"In the end, there was a session with only 7 participants. Those old guys finally changed the rules and banned the use of weapons."

"Now martial arts competitions are all unarmed. You have to grasp for yourselves whether you can afford the post-match medical expenses."

"Alright, that's all I'll say. Warm up after buying insurance."

After the two finished warming up, Lei Jun beckoned and said, "The three famous schools have immortal techniques that we don't have, and the investment of funds is beyond your comparison."

"What heavenly spiritual root cultivation, the latest drugs from the laboratory, and even modification surgeries are commonplace for them."

"I found some data on the top students from there who participated in the martial arts competition. Their physical strength averages above level 2, their magic power averages above 25, plus the drugs and combat spiritual roots they may use during the competition..."

"Their data must far exceed yours."

"They have more strength than you, faster speed than you, and more abundant magic power than you."

Just as Lei Jun said this, a question suddenly arose in Zhang Yu's mind: "The three famous schools have such great advantages, so how does Songyang win prizes in sports competitions? What methods are there? Is Wang Hai so powerful?"

On the other side, Lei Jun continued: "...But actual combat is never a matter of who has stronger data will definitely win, otherwise there wouldn't be practical exams."

Lei Jun said with a serious face: "So in the following time, you have to get used to fighting people who are stronger than you, and learn how to avoid getting injured as much as possible."

As he spoke, a surge of majestic aura slowly emerged from Lei Jun's body, rushing towards Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

"In order to give you more actual combat training time, from today onwards, you two will take me on together."

"I will try my best to maintain the strength and speed of a level 2 physical body and a magic power level of 25 units to fight you."

A moment later, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were seen rushing towards Lei Jun from the left and right with a whoosh.

Bang!

Accompanied by a collision sound, Lei Jun's hands had already blocked Bai Zhenzhen's kick and Zhang Yu's palm on the left and right.

The next moment, three figures crisscrossed back and forth, already fighting at high speed on the training ground.

But Zhang Yu couldn't feel that he was besieging Lei Jun with Bai Zhenzhen.

Lei Jun's actual combat experience was already unfathomable, plus the strength and speed he was maintaining at the moment were far stronger than him, he could always easily resolve his attacks, hit his flaws, and even cut off his connection with Bai Zhenzhen.

This made Zhang Yu feel like he was facing Lei Jun's oppression alone.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Are the opponents I will fight in the martial arts competition all people with higher data than me?"

Zhang Yu realized that he was a little underestimating the situation. With the need to hide his trump card of the level 10 Wuji Cloud Hand, the difficulties he would face in the martial arts competition far exceeded his original expectations.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Post!

A moment later, accompanied by a bang, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had been knocked out one after another.

Moreover, compared to the two who were panting, Lei Jun at the moment was not red-faced or out of breath, looking like he had just taken a walk.

Lei Jun said, "Rest for 5 minutes and continue."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself: "Old Lei is really strong, all my moves have been seen through by him, how many martial arts does he know?"

Zhang Yu thought: "Old Lei seems to be at level 10 of Dao Heart, 100 points of magic power, and level 10 of physical strength, and he has also cultivated at least a dozen martial arts to level 10, the Qi Refining stage has already been cultivated to the top."

"Then why didn't he establish a foundation?"

Then he curiously asked a question: "Teacher Lei, are you still in the Qi Refining stage, haven't you established a foundation yet?"

Lei Jun's face darkened upon hearing this: "Foundation establishment isn't that easy."

Looking at the two curious gazes, Lei Jun then sighed, and said casually: "Foundation establishment requires taking a foundation establishment qualification certificate, Golden Core requires taking a Golden Core qualification certificate, and Nascent Soul also has a Nascent Soul qualification certificate. How can realm breakthroughs be done whenever you want?"

"Foundation establishment without a certificate is an illegal and criminal act, and will be sentenced to capital punishment by the Eight Gods and the Ten Sects. The Ten Sects have always been very strict in this regard."

"Only by entering university can you take the foundation establishment qualification certificate."

"If you don't get the foundation establishment qualification certificate before graduating from university, you will never have a chance in this life."

Recalling his university days, Lei Jun felt a trace of grayness in his eyes.

He remembered that in the years when he took the foundation establishment certificate, he happened to catch up with the situation where the planned number of admissions for the foundation establishment qualification certificate was reduced.

He remembered that in those short few years, just the spiritual root alone, the successful applicants went from 'human spiritual root' all the way to 'heavenly spiritual root', making him completely desperate.

On the contrary, after returning to his hometown Songyang on the first level, he felt much more relaxed with the days of working and cultivating 24 hours a day to repay the loan.

Lei Jun said with emotion: "The difference between passing and failing the foundation establishment certificate is too great."

"Without foundation establishment, ten years of university life is just a dream, you can't stay above, and you will eventually have to return to the Kunxu first level."

Turning his head to look at Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu at the moment, he thought to himself: "Cherish the easy time in high school now, when you get into university, you will miss how easy it is now."

A few minutes later, Lei Jun said, "Rest enough, get up."

The next moment, three figures fought together again.

After today's tutoring, Zhang Yu returned to the unfinished building to continue the cultivation of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique.

This technique can both improve the Dao Heart and practice physical strength, and its improvement to him is very comprehensive. It is his key cultivation goal during this period.

In particular, the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique contains nine types of martial arts such as fist techniques, leg techniques, and palm techniques, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the basics and actual combat of various martial arts.

In this way, in the following time, Zhang Yu studied and cultivated while receiving Lei Jun's tutoring with Bai Zhenzhen.

In the blink of an eye, 11 days passed.

...

In the unfinished house on this night.

As Zhang Yu performed the last form of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, he finally raised this technique to level 10.

At this moment, not only did the nine types of martial arts such as fist techniques, leg techniques, and palm techniques seem to enter his heart like instinct, but the combat thinking contained in the Heavenly Martial will was even more controlled by his heart, allowing him to have both infinite fighting spirit and courage, but also maintain composure and calmness, and not fall into blind enthusiasm and impulsiveness.

"As expected of a mental technique specifically used for combat, especially the level 10 special effect of this mental technique..."

As Zhang Yu's gaze condensed, everything around him seemed to be a beat slower.

Even the action of him raising his hand seemed to be caught in a slowdown.

This is not that everything has really slowed down, but the level 10 special effect brought by the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, which makes his focus and concentration skyrocket in an instant, so that everything he sees has a kind of illusion of slowing down.
