You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 292 - 245: Endurance (Thanks to ’Zhang Pianpian Meow’ Eve for giving Zhang Pianpian 10 Oscar trophies)

Chapter 292: Chapter 245: Endurance (Thanks to ’Zhang Pianpian Meow’ Eve for giving Zhang Pianpian 10 Oscar trophies)

"Kid, let’s have a chat."

Looking at the figure in front of him, as if made of glass with a head of fiery hair, Zhang Yu knew that this was none other than Master Xinghuo, the person he had never met but often heard about.

Following the person to a rooftop of a tall building, Zhang Yu asked in confusion, "Senior, is there something you need from me?"

Master Xinghuo laughed heartily, spitting out a string of sparks from his mouth: "Why be so formal and call me ’senior’? You and Yu Xinghan are fellow students in cultivation; just call me Master."

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned: "Master?"

"Yes." Master Xinghuo replied, then smiled and said, "Have you decided which university and major to choose?"

He looked at Zhang Yu with a half-smile and asked, "Surely it’s not Netherworld University?"

Zhang Yu did not answer directly but asked, "Do you think Nether University is unsuitable, Senior?"

Master Xinghuo said: "Universities select students based on grades; conversely, when applying, students should also choose a university that suits them."

"Nether University belongs to the Netherworld Palace. This sect is known for its cultivation methods like extracting blood, skinning people, and refining souls, treating the common people as insignificant and using any means necessary to achieve their goals. As long as there’s enough profit, there’s nothing they won’t sell."

"If it weren’t for the intervention of other sects, they’d have turned levels 1 to 10 into breeding farms for their cultivation resources."

"I’m not saying whether this Immortal Road is good or bad, but do you really think this path suits you?"

Zhang Yu asked again, "Then which university do you think suits me, Senior?"

Master Xinghuo said: "Wanfa University has always been an orthodox sect, selecting the best, aiming to cultivate generations of Immortal seeds."

Fu Ji, listening to Master Xinghuo from the side, explained in Zhang Yu’s mind: "Selecting the best means working endlessly, just to produce Immortals. Before becoming an Immortal, everyone is considered a beast of burden."

Master Xinghuo said: "Students who enter Wanfa University, even if they don’t become Immortals, will at least be able to showcase their talents and have ample practical opportunities."

Fu Ji laughed: "Ample practical opportunities mean you have to start taking part-time jobs and working overtime as soon as you’re in college."

Master Xinghuo continued: "Wanfa University also provides good protection for students, operating by the rules. As long as you work hard, you can earn money, improve your cultivation, and sustain yourself."

Fu Ji said: "Able to sustain yourself means the income during university isn’t very high."

Master Xinghuo said: "Of course, the school has high expectations for students and teachers, aiming to cultivate each student into an elite, contributing to businesses, sects, and Kunxu."

Fu Ji understood: "High expectations from the school mean that regular performance assessments are challenging, and graduating or pursuing further studies isn’t easy."

"Contributing means that after graduation, you’ll be working for companies or sects for a long time, not for free..."

Listening to Master Xinghuo’s promotion and Fu Ji’s explanation, Zhang Yu gradually came to an understanding.

"Speaking of the various selection and cultivation mechanisms for Immortal Path talents on level one of Kunxu, and what Fu Ji once mentioned... making those below fight and strive to climb higher, this is all set up by sects like Wanfa, the so-called top ten great sects, isn’t it?"

"The difference between Wanfa University and Nether University... perhaps it’s that one needs beasts of burden, while the other needs hogs and sheep?"

"So, those who disapprove of Norworld Sect are like these top ten great sects, like Wanfa Sect? Because they want laborious beasts, not tasty hogs and sheep."

"Yes, what else could it be?" Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "The conflicts among the top ten great sects... if not for interests, could it really be for the battle between good and evil?"

Seeing Zhang Yu in contemplation, Master Xinghuo continued: "If you wish to enter Wanfa University, I can introduce you to my university connections, which should give you considerable support."

"I myself can also be your mentor during the remainder of your high school years, providing you with some guidance."

"Alright, I’ve said my piece, take your time to decide."

"Please also relay what I’ve said today to Bai Zhenzhen later, my time is tight and I’ll be leaving soon."

"Up next..." Master Xinghuo: "There’s a True God who wants to speak with you."

In the next moment, Deng Bingding appeared and said, "Mr. Zhang, long time no see."

This time, Deng Bingding’s purpose for finding Zhang Yu was to deal with Wang Yin.

Deng Bingding thought to himself: "The other arrangements of the Oasis Group on level one are not difficult to deal with."

"But Wang Yin... he’s a troublesome hot potato."

Whether it’s them as True Gods or Master Xinghuo who are willing to do things for money, no one is willing to confront Wang Yin directly.

After all, earning a salary and overtime pay, dealing with various minions under the Oasis Group... there’s no issue for them.

But to confront the young master with deep background directly and be marked by him is another matter altogether.

However, Wang Yin stands as a flag of the Oasis Group on level one, representing the confidence of countless people and attracting countless talents and noble families to join.

Deng Bingding understood that as long as Wang Yin remained standing, the Oasis Group’s limbs, no matter how many times they are cut, would regrow again and again.

But saying that, letting her step forward to suppress this young master, and then being remembered by this little young master of the Oasis Group, she was unwilling to do that either.

In this situation, Deng Bingding thought of Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu’s background is unfathomable, he shouldn’t be afraid of being resented by Wang Yin."

Moreover... Deng Bingding thought of the past few months, with Zhang Yu by Wang Yin’s side, endorsing for the Oasis Group, frequently visiting Wang Yin’s mansion and attending parties.

Connecting Zhang Yu with Zhang Pianpian behind him, and the certain great deity behind Zhang Pianpian, she understood that Zhang Yu was definitely not on the side of the Netherworld Palace.

"Could it be that this is arranged intentionally by some great deity?"

"From the day Zhang Yu took the Foundation Establishment exam, he already got involved."

"Replacing Ye Lingxiao, approaching Wang Yin, infiltrating the Oasis Group, is it all to finally have Zhang Yu handle Wang Yin?"

"If looked at this way, Wang Yin is down here managing the Oasis Group for some gold plating, while Zhang Yu is gold plating himself by taking care of Wang Yin..."

Every time she thought of this, a chill rose in Deng Bingding’s heart: "The waters of Kunxu are always so unfathomable."

"Whether it’s us, or the Oasis Group, we’ve probably long been part of the calculations of this mysterious deity, each step leading to the outcome he’s laid down."

After hearing Deng Bingding’s request, Zhang Yu was first slightly taken aback and then thought if Deng Bingding was joking.

"Me? A high school sophomore going to fight President Wang of the Oasis Group?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, won’t this really get someone killed, not just him but possibly Bai Zhenzhen as well.

But Zhang Yu didn’t want to offend Deng Bingding, this great deity, and only thought to politely refuse.

Deng Bingding said: "Wang Yin, in order to quickly descend a level, and to rejuvenate his Spirit Root for Foundation Establishment, has abolished his cultivation, and no longer has the power of peak Foundation Establishment. As for his Magic Treasures and talismans, there are ways to deal with them..."

In short, Deng Bingding meant that they could create opportunities for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen to deal with Wang Yin.

But after Deng Bingding’s persuasion, she found Zhang Yu continuously rejecting the offer.

At first, Deng Bingding thought Zhang Yu’s rejection was just for show, but soon realized that no matter how she persuaded him, he was unwilling to accept.

Deng Bingding was not angry, but had a new thought in her mind.

"Zhang Yu previously communicated with Zhang Pianpian on the second level, probably received instructions from above."

"His refusal now... does it mean it’s not the right time to act?"

Deng Bingding pondered over this, the more she thought, the more she believed that this was what he meant, and immediately stopped insisting, allowing Zhang Yu to leave.

Master Xinghuo, watching this, frowned and said: "Sending such a high school student to fight Wang Yin, what are you True Gods thinking? Even if you’re afraid of getting burned, and want to find a knife, this is a bit too much."

Deng Bingding replied softly: "Hmph, Xinghuo boy, this is why you fall after climbing up."

"This Zhang Yu isn’t as simple as you may think."

"To completely settle matters on the first level, to drive Wang Yin back up, the final blow will probably have to be in Zhang Yu’s hands."

...

When Zhang Yu returned to the apartment, he saw Bai Zhenzhen standing up from cultivation, smiling happily: "Yu Zi, you’re back? I ordered something delicious, let’s eat together."

Bai Zhenzhen was still unaware of Zhang Yu’s purpose of going out, and at this moment, seeing Bai Zhenzhen’s happy expression, Zhang Yu sighed internally: "It’s hard to have this peaceful life now, how can I risk it all?"

"I don’t want to fight desperately anymore, nor do I want Azhen to lose half her life like before."

"Endure, Zhang Yu."

"Endure silently, accumulate strength silently, until the strength is strong enough, until the day to stand out..."

In the following period, people around President Wang noticed that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen rarely appeared at parties.

Many felt that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have been ignored by President Wang and immediately felt a surge of joy, trying even harder to please President Wang, thinking of replacing them.

At the party, Ye Mantian scolded: "A poor dog like Zhang Yu shouldn’t be fed too much, those who climb up from the bottom will think they’re all that once they’re fed too well, become defiant and disobedient."

Someone chimed in: "You can’t give poor people too much money, initially throwing money at them works, but after a while, they think they have money and become less obedient."

President Wang looked around at these people who were completely obedient to him, insulting Zhang Yu because of his actions, as if observing a pack of tail-wagging dogs, yet inwardly sneering coldly.

He had seen too many of these tail-wagging, submissive dogs and also raised many of them.

Such dogs become more dependent on him the more he raises them, becoming more timid and well-behaved, they wouldn’t dare to even bare their teeth in the face of problems, so obedient that they wouldn’t utter a word even when their interests were harmed.

Wang Yin once loved raising such dogs, but soon he realized they were of no big use, which was also the point of contention between him and his mother.
