Chapter 221: The Holy Embryo is a Small Success, and the Exam is Set Off

In an apartment near Ziyun High School.

Zhang Yu was scrolling through the news on his phone, and the content of the news made him frown slightly: "Songyang City is becoming more and more chaotic."

During this period, although Zhang Yu was just teaching and practicing silently every day, it did not mean that he was ignorant of what was happening in the outside world.

With the information that Bai Zhenzhen brought back from time to time, as well as the changes in various news and public opinions on the Internet, he gradually confirmed a fact.

That is, in addition to the increasingly fierce competition in the dark tutoring industry, which has even led to the closure of companies, similar phenomena have also occurred in other fields.

The dark shopping world of smuggling, the dark pesticide world of selling fake medicines, and the dark catering world of selling fake pre-prepared meals...all the gangs are fighting each other, using all their unique skills to compete for the market.

And the companies behind them are also facing endless competition.

For example, Zhang Yu encountered more discount activities on shopping platforms and food delivery platforms and received more coupons. This was a price war between companies.

But Zhang Yu found that many of the things he liked, even the websites he often used, were reported and taken off the shelves. This was a reporting war between companies.

There are also bad reviews of various products and exercises. The scores of exercises go up and down. Today, the self-media exposed the pollution leakage of Ziyun Group. Tomorrow, it will be exposed that Hongta Group cut corners in meat products and did not use additives and drugs...

Zhang Yu knew that these were all companies mobilizing internet trolls to manipulate public opinion.

Although the competition in the company is becoming increasingly fierce, it does not have much impact on Zhang Yu's daily life. On the contrary, some of the preferential activities have allowed Zhang Yu to take advantage of them.

For example, the exercises on the platform had several discounts, which saved him hundreds of thousands of dollars when purchasing the exercises.

Zhang Yu, who felt the changes in Songyang City, always had a feeling that the competition between gangs and companies had become increasingly fierce since Oasis Group's synthetic meat was promoted to the market.

After hearing Zhang Yu's guess, Fu Ji said, "Don't think too much about this matter. It's too big a matter and has nothing to do with us. You should just focus on practicing your skills and prepare for the final round of foundation building exams."

Zhang Yu knew that Fu Ji was right and sighed. It was indeed not his place as a high school student to think too much about such things.

After jumping out of the news page, Zhang Yu's gaze once again turned to the discounted martial arts he had just purchased - Zhenfa Yuanshen.

Thanks to the discount, he was able to buy the martial arts technique in advance, and Zhang Yu, who had saved up enough money to get there today, saw his account balance plummet again, leaving him with only more than 20,000 yuan.

Whenever he thought of this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although I have earned a lot in the past two months, I have also spent a lot. Most of the money has been transformed into exercises and integrated into my body."

The Zhenfa Yuanshen, which constitutes the seventh level of the Holy Embryo of Martial Arts, is a body-building technique that increases the body's resistance to external magical power.

"The human body has five layers of epidermis. This method uses one's own magic power to refine the epidermis step by step, so that each layer of the epidermis can resist a portion of the magic power invading from the outside world..."

"After the Zhenfa Yuanshen is trained to level 10, the five layers of skin on the whole body are fully tempered, and the body will have a strong resistance to magic power."

"If I want to let the external magic power enter my body, it's actually very simple. I just need to wrap the opponent's magic power with my own magic power."

Zhang Yu knew that when he used the Immortal Seal to absorb the opponent's magic power, he needed to draw the opponent's magic power into his body.

Zhang Yu thought again of the last assassination attempt he had experienced. If he had mastered this Zhenfa Yuanshen technique at that time, it would have been much easier for him to fight.

Just when Zhang Yu pushed the Zhenfa Yuanshen to the third level, accompanied by the sounds of doors opening and closing, Bai Zhenzhen had already walked slowly into the apartment, looking exhausted.

Zhang Yu turned his head to look at Bai Zhenzhen, and he felt a murderous intent as tangible as a tangible substance coming towards him. Zhang Yu was so stimulated that his hair stood on end, and he had the illusion that a sword was pointing directly at his throat.

"This guy, Ah Zhen, has been feeling more and more dangerous since he joined the gang war."

However, as Bai Zhenzhen stepped into the apartment, the murderous intent in her gradually dissipated, and she regained her former high school bully temperament.

Zhang Yu looked at the time and said in surprise, "So early today? You're back at only two o'clock?"

Bai Zhenzhen casually took off her combat jacket and threw it on the ground, only to see that it was covered with words about various magical skills and Dafa.

Zhang Yu knew that the contents of the martial arts on it were all fake, and he would not be fined for wearing it, but it could force many people not to look directly at it in battle, just like ancient generals wearing helmets that looked like ghosts and gods, which had the effect of intimidating opponents on the battlefield.

Her trousers and underwear were also casually taken off, and Bai Zhenzhen walked towards the bathroom naked under Zhang Yu's inured gaze.

Zhang Yu could see a few shallow scars on Bai Zhenzhen's arms, and even a few faint handwritings.

That is a seal weapon used by some masters of the Jin Ke Gang. One seal can imprint a set of skills on the opponent. Although it is not fatal on the spot, the consequences are enough to make a person lose everything.

However, seeing that only a few words were scratched on Bai Zhenzhen, she obviously dodged the opponent's move at the critical moment.

Hearing Zhang Yu's question, Bai Zhenzhen turned around and said in confusion: "I just tied their students to the gang, and the Dark Learning Gang and the Golden Lesson Gang announced a truce."

Zhang Yu quickly turned his head and cursed, "I've told you several times not to walk around naked at home! What if you cause me to lose my means of production again? It's all money."

Bai Zhenzhen tilted her head and said impatiently, "We are all so familiar with each other. Aren't you tired of hiding when changing clothes? It's also a waste of time. Don't we have a lot of time?"

Then she sneered again and looked at Zhang Yu with disdain: "Tsk... and I'm not the only one, don't you have that problem?"

"When I came back last night, you had already gone out. I didn't see you, did I? Then I saw that the trash can was full of balls of paper..."

Zhang Yu slapped the floor and said angrily, "I told you not to rummage through the trash can."

"And I use that to wipe my nose, not what you think."

Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, turned her back to Zhang Yu, took off the last of her shorts, and said impatiently, "Are they all the same?"

"Yuzi, don't you see how low the price Hongta gave you has dropped? Your thing is only worth a little more than boiled water now. It's useless."

You fucking... Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen's face and sighed in his heart, Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen, have you forgotten how I, your dad, made money to support you a few months ago? Now that you can't sell it at a high price, you actually said something that chilled my heart.

Bai Zhenzhen continued, "Having roots is always a hassle. Once the foundation building exam is over, we don't have to save money. I'll pay for you to go to the hospital for sterilization. I'll cover the one-stop service for you."

After saying that, Bai Zhenzhen walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of water was heard.

Fu Ji thought about what Bai Zhenzhen had just said and said with some surprise, "Is the war over?"

She said to Zhang Yu: "Check the news..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhang Yu picked up his phone and checked the news according to Fu Ji's instructions. He soon saw the news that Xianyun Group and Shenhai Group announced their cooperation and exchange of shares.

Seeing Zhang Yu's surprised look, Fu Ji smiled and said, "What's so surprising about this? Exchanging shares, binding each other, and then further monopolizing the entire industry, isn't this a common phenomenon in Kunxu? It has been getting worse and worse over the years."

"Although Xianyun Group and Shenhai Group appear to be competitors, in the final analysis, both companies belong to the Wanfa Sect, one of the top ten sects."

"As long as there is someone in the sect to mediate, it is not impossible for these two companies to cooperate or even merge."

Fu Ji continued, "But this cooperation does seem a bit abrupt. Take a look at their other news."

Zhang Yu said: "After the two companies cooperated, they announced that they would enter the food industry? They would cooperate with Oasis Group?"

"Oasis Group... Why do I feel like everything is related to them?"

Fu Ji thought to herself, "Oasis Group... is Nether Palace behind it? It looks like it's that kind of thing again. Don't let Zhang Yu meddle in other people's business."

Fu Ji said casually: "Okay, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and practice. The most important thing for you now is the foundation building exam. Don't worry about anything else."

With the truce between the Dark Learning Gang and the Golden Lesson Gang, Bai Zhenzhen, who no longer had to fight on the front lines, suddenly had a lot of time.

So, in addition to her training, she invited martial arts teachers from Songyang High School to accompany her in practical training every day, honing her skills and tempering her body and magic power in battle.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was January.

…

January 1st.

Two days later will be the day for the final round of foundation building examination.

Inside the apartment, Zhang Yu was sitting cross-legged with half of his body covered in frost, while the other half was burning hot and emitting steam.

This was the eighth technique he was practicing in his cultivation of the Holy Martial Arts—the Kanbinglihuo Body Tempering Technique.

Use the magic power of Kanbing and the magic power of Lihuo to temper the body respectively, so that the body has strong adaptability to high and low temperatures, and further enhances toughness.

And this moment is the critical moment for Zhang Yu to push the Kanbinglihuo body-building method to the 10th level.

Boom! With a loud bang, Zhang Yu's body was no longer cold and hot at the same time. Instead, his whole body was hot and cold, alternating between cold and hot. Finally, ice and fire merged into one and became normal.

Zhang Yu felt the changes in his flesh and blood and slowly exhaled.

"Finally, the eighth skill of the Holy Embryo of Martial Arts has been completed."

After the Kanbinglihuo body-tempering technique was pushed to level 10, Zhang Yu could feel that not only did his body have a stronger adaptability to temperature changes, but after practicing this technique, he could also fight in a high or low temperature state, and both states had their own uses.

After taking a look at the second level effect of the Martial Arts Saint Embryo, Zhang Yu also laughed and said, "Although I have not been able to practice the Martial Arts Saint Embryo to its ultimate effect, it should be enough to pass this foundation building test."

After checking his phone, Zhang Yu found that his leave request had been approved. He thought to himself, "Everything is ready. I can leave now."
