You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 353 - 302 This Is the Body Forged on the Construction Site (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Chapter 353: Chapter 302 This Is the Body Forged on the Construction Site (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Zhang Yu didn’t feel like he was risking his life, after all, with the Can Niu Soul Heart Technique activating his body’s vitality, the performance of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique was still within his bearable range.
Moreover, he had just picked up a Lifespan Extension Pill a few days ago and gained an extra year of lifespan, so it didn’t matter if he burned some away.
Fu Ji often told him that lifespan wasn’t earning interest just sitting there, so he might as well burn it when profits were available. At worst, he could earn it back in the future.
At this moment, not only did Zhang Yu not experience any loss of lifespan, but with the fierce outbreak of his body and Gang Qi, the medicinal effects remaining in his body were being activated.
Over the past few days, he had consumed many semi-finished products at the pharmaceutical factory. Some of them had immediate effects while others turned into deposits of medicinal power, slowly absorbed by him.
But now, with the violent circulation of his blood and mana, this medicinal power was stirred, accelerating absorption, and subtly bringing his physical strength to another breakthrough level.
Body strength +0.01 level
In Ying Xin’s eyes, Zhang Yu’s speed increased slightly again, pulling ahead of her by several body lengths.
At this moment, Ying Xin suddenly recalled what her father had said.
Father: "Ying Xin, don’t even think about risking your life against someone from the lower tier."
Ying Xin remembered feeling unconvinced at the time, stating she wasn’t afraid to fight to the death with someone from the lower tier.
Father: "Do you have as little as those people from the lower tier? Do you have as many loans as they do? Do you have the pressures they carry?"
Father: "You don’t, your life is more precious than theirs. Competing with them is not worth it, so you can’t muster the resolve to go all out against them."
Father: "But if you truly must fight, what use is money? When it’s time to spend, spend it..."
Thinking of this, Ying Xin’s gaze sharpened, and a volume of talismans appeared in her hand.
"Four Winds, heed my command! Transport for me!"
Instantly, as Ying Xin activated the talismans, divine lights surged out, summoning gusts of wind to help her lift construction debris, aiding her in moving it downward.
But as soon as Ying Xin surpassed Zhang Yu, she noticed his figure swelling again, with his speed continually increasing.
"Still fighting?" Ying Xin sneered in her heart, "Don’t blame me for showing you complete despair."
Meanwhile, Tu Lishan on the 666th floor was observing the competition between the two through surveillance cameras along the way.
"Hmm, although Ying Xin isn’t willing to risk her life, she’s willing to spend money, which is good. As long as she’s willing to pay her own money to work and do projects, who can say she’s not a genius in the Civil Engineering Department?"
But soon, seeing Zhang Yu accelerate once more, Tu Lishan’s eyes were full of admiration: "Good, good, good, one risking life, one spending money, worthy of the Civil Engineering Department’s geniuses, worthy of being our department’s talents."
Zhang Yu crashed to the ground with a bang, and as he reached the basement level, his muscles buffered, pulling the scattered construction materials flying towards the waste disposal plant.
At this moment, he had already activated the burst state of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, and the efficiency of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique was slightly consuming his lifespan.
"Good thing I took a Lifespan Extension Pill."
"This extra year of life isn’t earning interest; using a bit of it for cash isn’t a problem."
On the other side, Ying Xin, carried by the strong wind, was side by side with Zhang Yu.
The two rushed forward fiercely like two dragons racing side by side, one shrouded in clouds and mist, the other radiating golden light, accelerating constantly with the sound of the atmosphere roaring! Accelerating! Accelerating more!
After the first wave of construction materials was transported, the two darted out once again without stopping, pulling out long streams of air, heading back to the 666th floor.
This time, without the burden of construction materials, Zhang Yu’s speed skyrocketed even more, leaving long trails of air in the atmosphere, the distance from Ying Xin widening further.
Watching this scene, Ying Xin cursed internally, "Five hours, let’s see how long you dare to spend your lifespan!"
Back and forth like this, time and again transporting up and down, Ying Xin watched as Zhang Yu sprinted and exploded without stopping the whole time.
Ying Xin herself, seeing the spirit coin expenditure on the talisman book continuously rising, finally gritted her teeth and stopped using the talismans.
This resulted in Zhang Yu leaving Ying Xin further and further behind.
As the 5-hour course was about to end.
After five hours of full-force pursuit, Ying Xin’s whole body exuded rolling heat, her skin entirely red, her muscles seemingly about to melt.
Each step felt like softening muscles, each breath a stab in the chest.
At this moment, she resembled a cannon barrel that had been running at over-capacity, with metal fatigue at its limit.
When she looked up, she saw Zhang Yu, all red and steaming, roaring as he continued towards the waste disposal plant.
Ying Xin couldn’t help but show a touch of surprise, "Does this guy... still have strength after pushing himself this far?"
"How much lifespan did he expend?"
"No... impossible... this isn’t just the strength from spending life."
With a trace of disbelief in her eyes, Ying Xin thought, "Could it be... he is already stronger than me?"
Clenching her fist in unwillingness, she thought, "How can this be? He clearly wears himself out every day on the construction site, and spends nowhere near as much money as I do..."
At the same time, Tu Lishan slowly approached Ying Xin, offering comfort: "Didn’t lose clearly, did you?"
"That boy Zhang Yu, from just working on the 666th floor every day, I could see, he was incidentally practicing various Body Refining Techniques."
"In the midst of physical work wearing him down, he adopts even more intense training. You could say that every bit of his strength, every bit of his cultivation, came at the cost of his life."
"Ying Xin, can you feel the difference between the body you’ve cultivated in the training room and Zhang Yu’s body forged at the construction site?"
"For you, this is just academics, just an opportunity. But for him... it’s work, it’s life, it’s the hope of staying above in the future."
Looking at Ying Xin, who was silently bowing her head, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "If you had enough money... throwing money around could be even harsher than the way he risks his life, you could suppress him like Gongshu Jin and Ji Yuanshu."
"Unfortunately... you still don’t have enough money."
Just then, Li Xiao and Yu Xinghan arrived.
Ying Xin furrowed her brow slightly; she couldn’t shake the feeling that Yu Xinghan was staring at her for too long. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "This video... once I go back and edit it, add some effects, and upload it, I wonder if the video of the Civil Engineering Department’s flower has any traffic? Surely no one wants to watch my daily life at the construction site?"
Meanwhile, Li Xiao thought Ying Xin had already won the competition. After all, in his eyes, Ying Xin’s strength must be above Zhang Yu’s.
He comforted her, saying, "Ying Xin, we’re all classmates here, let’s not ruin the friendship. Give me some face, maybe you guys can talk later..."
Ying Xin glared at him coldly, "What face do you have?"
Watching Ying Xin walk away without looking back, Li Xiao’s face displayed an expression of embarrassment.
At this moment, the class rankings were finally updated.
When Ying Xin saw Zhang Yu’s position change from third to fourth and her own from fourth to third, she displayed a knowing expression.
"Indeed..." Ying Xin forced a bitter smile and murmured to herself, "He is already above me; I’m the weaker one in this battle."
Li Xiao also noticed the change in rankings and recalled Ying Xin’s behavior earlier...
Li Xiao was shocked when he saw Zhang Yu approaching, "You... did you really beat Ying Xin?"
Zhang Yu exhaled a breath of fiery white Qi, "Hmm? Seems like it."
He looked at the silhouette of Ying Xin limping away and reminded her, "Don’t forget to pay."
Tu Lishan smiled at Zhang Yu, "Zhang Yu, you’re quite remarkable. But remember to rest well when you should. Once the outdoor projects begin next month, you’ll be busy."
After Tu Lishan left, Li Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "How do you actually cultivate?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him, casually replying, "You can’t learn my method."
"If you really want to learn, try learning from Yu Xinghan."
With that, Zhang Yu turned away. After a few flashes, he shot up like an arrow, rushing along the Magnetic Channel all the way to the 666th floor.
Li Xiao quickly sent a message, asking: "Where are you going?"
Zhang Yu: "Going back for overtime."
Li Xiao was shocked, "Overtime even now?"
Yu Xinghan snorted, saying, "That’s just how he is, never resting. I’ve never seen him take a break. I suspect he gives himself overtime not to compete, but as a reward for winning when he does."
At this moment, Li Xiao was bewildered. Isn’t overtime supposed to be a painful experience?
Is this kind of suffering that requires gritted teeth and silent endurance a form of happiness for Zhang Yu?
Is the gap between people really that huge?
Indeed, he couldn’t learn the other’s cultivation methods.
Recalling Zhang Yu’s words about Yu Xinghan, Li Xiao asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Yu Xinghan headed toward the Magnetic Channel, responding indifferently, "Massage."
...
Wanfa University City, 666th floor.
Shortly after Zhang Yu started working, he received Ying Xin’s transfer of 0.121 spirit coins, which pushed his balance past 12.5.
Looking at the numbers in his balance, Zhang Yu smiled in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
"Now I can throw more money and keep improving my results."
"For Taoist Skill services, I can schedule a few more times..."
Zhang Yu contemplated how to spend the spirit coins in his account balance next.
Just then, Zhang Yu received another message from Tu Lishan.
Tu Lishan: "Zhang Yu, Director Gao is very pleased with your performance today."
Tu Lishan: "He knows you need money, so he specially arranged for you to meet with the Finance Department’s teacher tomorrow to apply for a low-interest student loan."
Zhang Yu: "Thank you, Mr. Tu, please also thank Director Gao for me."
Tu Lishan: "It’s a teacher’s duty to help students. If you want to repay Director Gao, perform well in next month’s outdoor projects. It will be a bright era for us Civil Engineering students; as long as you’re willing to fight, opportunities will abound."
Zhang Yu asked: "What exactly is this outdoor project about?"
Instead of answering, Tu Lishan asked another question: "How much do you know about university wars?"
