46 -35 Choices and Cultivation Technique

White Dragon High School.

As one of the three prestigious schools in Songyang City, alongside Purple Cloud High School, this school boasts a long history and abundant resources.

Whether it’s the number of yearly competition winners, those admitted to the top ten universities, or those who collapse from exhaustion, it holds a dominant position in Songyang City.

To many White Dragon High School students…

what prestigious schools?

There’s only one prestigious school in Songyang City, and that’s White Dragon High School.

And at this moment, in the cafeteria of White Dragon High School.

Zhang Pianpian was eating while flipping through her talismanic book, studying the new talisman textbooks she had purchased.

Just then, a petite girl sat across from her, speaking mysteriously, “Pianbao, I’ve got some interesting news.

Want to know?

Buy me a meal, and I’ll tell you.”

Zhang Pianpian replied without looking up, “Not interested.”

The girl giggled, “Your brother got quite the attention at the Central Building last time, but unfortunately, he wasn’t recruited by the Golden Core.

Don’t you want to know his new news?”

Zhang Pianpian frowned slightly, “The most I’d pay is for the $9 meal deal.

Any more expensive, and I won’t listen.”

“That’s enough, that’s enough.” The girl laughed, “It’s rare for Pianbao to treat me; nobody in class will believe it.”

Seeing Zhang Pianpian’s impatience, the girl continued, “The news is from a friend of mine at Songyang High School.”

“Your brother ranked third in the grade this time, with a total score of 620.”

Zhang Pianpian was surprised, “620 points?

Are you sure your information is correct?”

“Absolutely true,” the girl said, “This score would easily put him in the top fifteen here in first year, quite impressive.”

“Didn’t you say your brother didn’t have talent?

Now it doesn’t seem so bad.”

A hint of doubt flashed in Zhang Pianpian’s eyes, “My judgment isn’t mistaken; he doesn’t have a gift for climbing the Immortal Path.

Looks like something happened recently.”

The girl asked, “Now the student council at Songyang High School is probably going to target him.

Aren’t you going to help him?”

Zhang Pianpian lowered her eyes and said lightly, “Let him choose for himself.”

“If he’s willing to sign with the student council, at least his high school life will be easier.”

“Are you testing him?” the girl pouted, “Aren’t you being too strict?

How many students could withstand the pressure from the student council?”

Zhang Pianpian said coldly, “If he can’t withstand, he should follow a path that suits him, otherwise helping him would only harm him.”

“Ultimately, what he’s made of depends on the choices he makes himself.”

…

Songyang High School.

Zhang Yu could clearly feel the shift in the atmosphere throughout the school.

During breaks, unfamiliar classmates began to greet him.

“Zhang Yu, your physical strength has improved quickly.

Is it really natural body refinement?”

“Zhang Yu, can you lend me your Martial Arts theory test paper?”

In the corridors, unknown students from other classes pointed at him.

“Look, that’s the Zhang Yu Mr.

Lei talked about.”

“Sigh, the monsters from the demonstration class really give no chances for others.”

In Martial Arts Class, Mr.

Lei repeatedly played the video of him defeating He Dayou.

He even had Zhang Yu elaborate on his battle strategies, making He Dayou’s vital energy and blood surge, his heart beating ever stronger, feeling increasingly youthful.

In the cafeteria, students began to deliberately pass by Zhang Yu, seemingly sneaking glances at what he was eating.

Some students, without much acquaintance, wanted to sit and eat with him.

During dinner, Zhang Yu simply called Zhao Tianxing over, pulling him in to eat with Bai Zhenzhen.

After all, Zhao Tianxing could occupy two seats by himself, so the three of them perfectly filled the entire table.

Today, Zhou Tianyi was nowhere to be seen; he left school right after class and didn’t come to eat dinner with them.

Zhao Tianxing had eaten with them a few times recently, gradually becoming more familiar with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.

Zhang Yu even noticed that in front of Zhao Tianxing, Bai Zhenzhen seemed much more at ease than in front of Zhou Tianyi.

“How long does the electronic board in the cafeteria have to display the monthly exam results?” Zhao Tianxing complained, “It’s so inconvenient to see the prices while getting food.”

Zhang Yu took a bite of his food and sighed, “Xiao Zhao, your vision is too narrow.

The school displays the exam results to motivate everyone to study hard.

I think they should show it for a few more days.”

Bai Zhenzhen also nodded slightly, “After all, exams are a student’s duty.

The importance of displaying scores can’t be compared to mere food prices.”

Zhao Tianxing looked speechlessly at the two in front of him, especially Zhang Yu.

And then he suddenly realized that Zhang Yu was no longer the student who ranked similarly to him in the monthly exam; their standings were no longer in the same school hierarchy.

The behavior that deeply annoyed other students, pressing them with stress, and provoking fierce competition among them was, to Zhang Yu now, a naked display of pride.

“A few days ago, Zhang Yu was still criticizing these inhumane school policies with me.”

“Now he’s become like this.” He thought, “Does scoring high really change a person so quickly?”

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and laughed, “Yu Zi, you seem to be in a good mood.”

That’s an understatement.

Zhang Yu now felt utterly triumphant.

He never thought the scenery at Songyang High School was so beautiful, the students and teachers so kind.

For someone who had to persist in harsh cultivation day in and out, this was simply the best scenery, a rare solace, a reward from the heavens for his hard work and discipline.

Zhang Yu humbly waved his hand, “Ah, it’s just some pointless vanity.”

“I don’t even know why everyone gravitates towards me.”

“Azhen, you’ve been first in the grade for so long, why hasn’t anyone come to hang out with you?”

Bai Zhenzhen curled her lips, full of disdain, “Because my first place makes it so they see no hope of catching up, they only feel the absolute gap in talent.”

“But your sudden progress, it makes them feel there’s a chance to imitate.”

“So they all want to be your good friend, to glimpse the secret of your score improvement.”

Bai Zhenzhen devoured a chicken leg, ruthlessly unveiling the brutal truth.

“In high school, grades reign supreme.”

“A selection of well-chosen problem sets, a paid talisman technique, or perhaps practical experience from a tutoring class can make countless high school students flock to it, let alone the secret of your 70-point improvement in a month, even top ten grade scholars can’t help but be tempted.” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

“These students coming to you aren’t really there to be friends; they just want to obtain the secret of your soaring scores, hoping to add that 70-point boost to themselves.”

Beside them, Zhao Tianxing twisted his hips, the two chairs beneath him creaking under the strain.

He thought silently, “I’m the tenth now too, and I did purposely get close to Zhang Yu before.”

“Could Bai Zhenzhen be hinting at me?”

“Though I indeed want to learn excellent study habits from them both, and then ask Zhang Yu the secret behind his rapid improvement…”

Thinking this, he twisted even more, feeling the dinner table atmosphere grow tense, and decided to suppress his urge to ask Zhang Yu about his secrets for now.

Until he parted ways with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, watching them go in different directions with one taking the bus and the other riding the subway, Zhao Tianxing was still pondering this.

“Was Bai Zhenzhen actually referring to me?”

…

On the bus.

Right after getting on, as Zhang Yu was being jostled by the crowd, he felt his phone buzz.

Taking a look, he found a message from Bai Zhenzhen.

“In the coming days, the student council will probably want to discuss contract matters with you.”

“Don’t agree to anything, no matter the conditions.”

“We’ll discuss it together after I talk to them.”

Seeing the message from Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu’s eyes moved slightly, thinking to himself, “So the advanced contract is with the student council?”

Zhang Yu had always been somewhat unclear about the student council at Songyang High School.

In his mind, a high school student council?

What could they do?

But now, judging from Bai Zhenzhen’s words, the student council clearly wasn’t simple; it even had the authority to discuss contracts with students.

“I wonder what terms the contract they offer me will have.”

“Based on Azhen’s intentions, does she want to stand with me and possibly negotiate better terms together?”

Thinking for a few seconds without a clear answer from his thoughts, Zhang Yu heard the countdown in his mind again and decided to set aside these wild thoughts for now, scrolling through the study materials saved on his phone.

But after reading for a while, whether due to the feedback from his monthly exam scores or the upcoming contract, Zhang Yu found himself unnerved, unable to focus on studying while on the bus.

He put down the phone and began contemplating his current cultivation path.

The ritual power didn’t impose any constraints on his thoughts in this regard.

After all, contemplating the future, planning cultivation…

all aligned with his wish to study hard, cultivate diligently, get into university, work hard, eventually buy all the antiques in his shopping cart.

“The next step is to elevate the Circulation Qi Collection to level 10.”

“The next target is Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, but this Martial Arts Heart Method requires a Dao Heart level of 3, so I’ll have to practice the Basic Heart Refining Skill first, getting it to level 10 while simultaneously raising my Dao Heart to level 3 before practicing the Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement…”

“Thereafter, the only things I have available to train are the Basic Breathing Techniques, Freehand, and High School Basic Sword Technique.”

After mentally confirming his future plans, Zhang Yu also thought about his current deposit of over seventy thousand, alongside the potential earnings from future contracts, from which an idea emerged.

“Should I buy some more powerful, effective cultivation techniques?”

Previously, Zhang Yu had no such plans due to lack of funds.

But after receiving 66,000 from Wang Hai today, he couldn’t stop pondering how to spend this money.

Things like Spirit Roots, talismans, practical experience…

many things he couldn’t have imagined before now inspired some thoughts; he waited only for the contract discussion to see how much he’d have to spend before making specific arrangements.

Now, considering his future learning of cultivation techniques, he couldn’t resist the urge to buy some too.

“Even if I don’t buy, I can at least look, and have an idea.”

The phone screen flashed, Zhang Yu opened the shopping website and entered his real-name account.

After a round of facial recognition, Zhang Yu entered the purchase website for Immortal Methods, but with his current status, he could only view techniques for the Qi Cultivation Stage.

As soon as he entered, he saw a recommendation column that read: Your friends are viewing: Unisex Cultivation Method for the Unknown Maiden, Great Dream Mental Method where you can train while sleeping, Nine Day Quick Success Eight Division Talisman…
