Chapter 52 Undercurrent
Zhang Yu looked at the vest, shorts, wrist and anklets in front of him, as well as the two large jars next to them.
These are the weight-bearing suit and monster meat powder he purchased.
Weight-bearing suits are durable body-training equipment that are cheap and can be used whenever you want. You can work hard secretly without being discovered by your classmates, and you can also take them off during battle to show off. It can be said to be a classic equipment on the road to immortality and is a must-try.
The weight-bearing suit Zhang Yu bought this time weighs 150 kilograms in total, which can be used to exercise his body during daily actions.
On the other hand, the monster meat powder is a nutritional supplement that can better replenish his daily blood and flesh loss and the nutritional needs for growth, allowing the child to grow taller, faster and stronger.
The two items cost him more than 4,000 yuan in total, reducing his savings to more than 59,000 yuan.
"Alas, I am still too poor. I can only buy these poor equipment."
When Zhang Yu was choosing on the shopping website, what he actually wanted most was an external spiritual root called the Gluttony Spiritual Root.
It is said that after that thing is inserted into the body, it will crazily stimulate human metabolism and strengthen the body every day, absorbing all the nutrients that can be absorbed to supply the blood and flesh. According to the advertisement, you can become stronger by eating shit every day.
It's a pity that it's too expensive, costing 40 million each.
Spending 40 million to experience the feeling of becoming stronger by eating shit is not something Zhang Yu can afford at the moment.
"Well, I'd better try the school's muscle-enhancing spiritual roots during the next free rental."
As he put on the weight-bearing suits one by one, Zhang Yu felt his body becoming heavier and heavier. The originally simple actions of bending, walking and raising his hands were now filled with layers of resistance, making the movements much more difficult.
"call……"
Before he could take a few more steps, a shout came from downstairs: "You're demolishing the building in the middle of the night!"
Knowing that the noise he made after putting on the weight-bearing suit was too loud, Zhang Yu went to the unfinished building wearing the weight-bearing suit.
As he walked along the way, it seemed as if he was wearing a lot of shackles on his body, and Zhang Yu could feel all kinds of discomfort coming from various parts of his body.
However, after he practiced the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique, thinking about his expectation of improving his physical strength day and night, all these discomforts were temporarily suppressed, and instead he felt a sense of satisfaction that his body was constantly being exercised.
"Sure enough, the Wild Ox Soul Calming Heart Technique is also effective for this."
Zhang Yu's next goal is to try his best to maintain the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Secret at all times, while constantly resisting the discomfort of the weight-bearing suit, and constantly using the mental method to improve the level of his Tao heart.
"In 24 hours a day, I train my mind and my body."
If he could do that, he would be able to further improve his efficiency in raising his Dao Heart level and at the same time improve his physical strength.
Thinking that he had voluntarily added such a big size to himself without anyone forcing him, Zhang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He sighed in his heart: "There's nothing I can do. The dead rich people from the three famous universities are more outrageous than each other."
"If I want to survive, if I want to get into the top ten universities, if I want to join a big sect... I have to apply..."
Coming to the unfinished building again, Zhang Yu, wearing a weight-bearing suit, sat cross-legged on the ground, trying hard to maintain the state of mind of the Wild Ox Soul-Calming Heart Technique, constantly sketching the picture of the old ox reclaiming the wasteland in his mind, while letting his body rest.
Theoretically speaking, as long as the practitioner can persist, the mental method can be maintained.
It's like listening to a novel while playing a game, which is an embodiment of multitasking.
However, mental weakness, fatigue, and various external stimuli may interrupt the maintenance of the mind.
And if you need to use your brain to do something complicated, such as taking an exam or thinking about a battle, then it will be even more difficult to maintain your mental state.
So even though he had heard from the teacher of the Dao Xin class that the mental method could theoretically be maintained at all times, and a powerful cultivator could maintain the mental method as long as his consciousness remained clear, Zhang Yu had never been able to do so.
However, since Zhang Yu recently upgraded the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique to level 10 and his Dao Heart level reached level 2, he felt that it was becoming easier and easier for him to maintain his heart method.
If maintaining the mental method before was like solving math problems in his mind all the time, then he now felt like he was counting from 1 to 1000 all the time, which had become much simpler.
"Now I should be able to perform more complex exercises while maintaining my mental skills."
That's why Zhang Yu had the current attempt. He wanted to practice keeping the Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique running in more situations.
After resting for a while, Zhang Yu, wearing a weight-bearing suit, stood up and began to walk back and forth while maintaining his mental method.
He felt like he had thrown away half of his brain and half of his muscles, and then had to learn all the movements from scratch.
The next night, Zhang Yu came to the unfinished building again and tried to maintain his mental state while doing some simple warm-up exercises.
On the third day, Zhang Yu, who was becoming more and more adapted, began to practice Wuji Yunshou while wearing a weight-bearing suit while maintaining his mental method.
The Level 6 Wuji Cloud Hands seemed to have been practiced thousands of times in his mind. He could perform each move naturally without much thought.
At this moment, while he was maintaining the mind-concentration diagram in his mind, his body continued to practice the Wuji Cloud Hand moves under the pressure of the weight-bearing suit.
The magic power in the body carried a surging momentum, and it turned into wisps of formless clouds and gushed out during the repeated shocks.
However, because he needed to distract himself to maintain his mental method, and because of the weight-bearing suit and the consumption of mana, Zhang Yu's efficiency in practicing the Wuji Cloud Hands was much slower.
Three days passed before he finally pushed Wuji Yunshou to the 10th level.
Listen to this, it's only been pushed to level 10.
Apparently Zhang Yu still thought the speed was a bit slow.
"Alas, Yushu is still not powerful enough, which limits my potential and self-discipline."
In the unfinished building, Zhang Yu's magic power rose from his dantian and completed seven consecutive vibrations silently. Then it spread to his limbs and bones and gushed out from his whole body.
In an instant, Zhang Yu was seen surrounded by white clouds and mist, looking like an immortal.
"This is the effect of Wuji Cloud Hand after it reaches level 10. The Wuxiang Cloud Gang is no longer limited to the hands, but flows out from every part of the body, truly integrating offense and defense."
However, this also greatly increased the consumption of mana. Zhang Yu felt that he could not hold on for a few minutes, so he stopped quickly.
After these days of hard training, Zhang Yu's abilities have been improved again.
The magic power increased to 16.9 through constant breathing day and night.
The weight-bearing suit that he wears all the time and the training of Wuji Cloud Hand have allowed his physical strength to reach level 1.28.
With almost constant training of the Level 10 Wild Bull Soul-Calming Heart Technique, Dao Xin is still the fastest improving and has reached Level 2 (65%).
…
Not long after Zhang Yu arrived in the classroom that day, he saw a middle-aged woman with a haggard face coming to a desk and packing something.
Just when Zhang Yu was feeling confused, he heard Zhou Tianyi say, "Liang Qin dropped out of school. His mother is here to pack his things for him."
"Ah?" Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "Why?"
Zhou Tianyi sighed, "It seems that he owed more than 100 yuan from gambling. After his parents found out, they came to help him drop out of school."
"I heard that his family went to the teacher's office yesterday and Liang Qin kept kneeling and kowtowing, but his parents still insisted on having him drop out of school."
Zhou Tianyi shook his head and sighed, "What his parents did was right. Once you get addicted to gambling, you can only be a mortal for the rest of your life and will never achieve anything on the path to becoming an immortal."
"Don't mention that he's just a freshman in high school. Even if he really became an immortal, he would still fall down. He would lose all his cultivation and become a mortal again after going bankrupt."
Zhang Yu was silent for a while. This Liang Qin was somewhat similar to his original self in terms of borrowing and lending. He thought that if he had not traveled through time, the original Zhang Yu would probably have ended up like this.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen dragged Zhang Yu out of the classroom and said to him, "Those poor guys finally have news. Please sign the electronic agreement they sent over."
Shortly after Zhang Yu signed the electronic agreement, a transfer message rang on his mobile phone.
Seeing the 20,000 yuan in cash, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen were both shocked.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Bai Zhenzhen: "These stingy people can actually send 20,000 yuan in one go. It seems that they really value you."
"You transfer 8,000 to my card and I'll use it."
Zhang Yu didn't ask why. After calling 8,000, he just reminded her, "What have you been busy with recently? Why do you disappear after school every day?"
Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly: "I'm still trying to find a way to get into the top ten."
"These stingy people actually think so highly of us. We should ask them to help us relieve some of the pressure."
At this point, she seemed to remember something and reminded him, "After the monthly exam next week, Zhou Chechen should come again to persuade us to sign the contract."
"If the student union is rejected by us again this time, we will definitely put more pressure on it."
"Especially since you came fourth in the French Championship, they will definitely try to force you to sign a contract. Can you handle it?"
Zhang Yu was unsure, but seeing Bai Zhenzhen's concerned look, he laughed and said, "I'm sure I can handle it. Don't give up halfway."
Zhang Yu thought about the pressure of the ceremony and thought to himself that he would either be killed by the ceremony or be admitted to the top ten. He had no choice at all.
Just as he was thinking this, the extremely familiar chill in his body rose up again. Zhang Yu knew that this was forcing him to go back and study and practice.
"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. My own strength is the most important thing. I'm going back to practice first."
Bai Zhenzhen held his shoulders and reminded him, "Remember, when you refuse, you can push it onto Ziyun High School and Bailong High School, saying that they are recruiting you, and continue to negotiate with the student union to delay time."
"You have to remember, you must not let them realize that you want to be in the top ten."
Looking at Zhang Yu's hurriedly leaving back, Bai Zhenzhen seemed to sense his anxiety.
"Hako has been working harder and harder recently."
"He must be very anxious too."
"But it doesn't matter, I'm about to find that guy..."
"As expected of me, even though Yuzi is a little better than me in the French competition, he still needs my support to get into the top ten."
…
In a quiet room.
Zhang Yu, who rented the muscle-enhancing spiritual root, felt that every time he exhaled and inhaled spiritual energy, as the spiritual energy was absorbed into the spiritual root, the spiritual root would feed back a trace of more lively spiritual energy.
This is the growth inspiration brought by the muscle-building spiritual root.
As the growth inspiration was naturally absorbed by his flesh and blood, he felt that his flesh and blood all over his body seemed to move on its own and began to devour all nutrients at an accelerated speed.
With the continuous effect of the muscle-building spiritual roots and the continuous infusion of growth spiritual energy into the body, this state will last for 6 to 12 hours, greatly increasing the effect of Zhang Yu's physical strength training.
Wei Xin's voice rang out over the radio: "Student Zhang, do you want to add an extra hour?"
Zhang Yu exhaled slowly, thought for a moment and said, "Add one hour."
…
Inside the training ground.
Martial arts teacher Lei Jun is giving Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen extra lessons in preparation for next month's martial arts competition.
Accompanied by bursts of roars and crackling sounds, two figures were seen colliding back and forth, as if two giant beasts were tearing each other apart.
Zhang Yu's Wuji Cloud Hand blasted out with surging martial arts energy.
But Bai Zhenzhen put her fingers together like a sword, and a sword shadow appeared, piercing the weakest and most critical points of the internal energy, instantly dispersing the internal energy.
Lei Jun on the side shouted, "Zhang Yu, Wuji Yunshou is most concerned about changes. You must take advantage of the situation and don't always think of bullying others by taking advantage of your power."
Zhang Yu didn't want to rely solely on force to overwhelm others. It was just that Bai Zhenzhen's practical experience was much stronger than his. If he hadn't subconsciously relied on the martial arts energy to suppress the opponent head-on, he would have almost always been suppressed by Bai Zhenzhen.
"How come this guy Ah Zhen is so good at fighting?"
Although Zhang Yu did not use his full strength, he also displayed the level 1 Wuji Cloud Hand, but he was still completely suppressed by Bai Zhenzhen who relied on several basic martial arts, which made Zhang Yu strongly suspect that Bai Zhenzhen was open.
Is it a fucking perspective or a headlock? Or is it reading instructions? How come you can always hit my weak spots? How come you can always see through my moves? …
Zhang Yu spent his days studying, practicing, and making up lessons.
In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
The big day of Songyang High School’s monthly exam is here again.
Classmates, teachers, the student union... and all kinds of people Zhang Yu knew or didn't know, were gradually turning their attention to him and Bai Zhenzhen.
