Chapter 35: Choice and Practice
Bailong High School.
As one of the three famous high schools in Songyang City along with Ziyun High School, the school has a long history and strong financial resources. Whether it is the number of winners in competitions each year, the number of students admitted to the top ten universities, or the number of people who jump off buildings, the school has a dominant position in Songyang City.
Even for many students of Bailong High School...what are the three famous schools? Songyang City has only one famous school, and that is Bailong High School.
And now in the cafeteria of Bailong High School.
Zhang Pianpian was eating while flipping through her own talisman book and studying the newly purchased talisman teaching materials.
At this moment, a petite girl sat in front of her and said mysteriously: "Pianbao, I heard an interesting news. Do you want to know? If you treat me to a meal, I will tell you."
Zhang Pianpian said without even looking up: "Not interested."
The girl laughed and said, "Your brother was quite popular in the Central Building last time, but unfortunately he was not accepted by Jin Dan in the end. Don't you want to know his latest news?"
Zhang Pianpian frowned slightly and said, "It's worth at most a 9 yuan poor guy meal. If it's more expensive, I won't listen."
"That's enough." The girl said with a smile, "It's so rare that you treat me to a meal. If I tell anyone in the class, no one will believe it."
Seeing Zhang Pianpian's impatient look, the girl continued, "My friend at Songyang High School told me the news."
"Your brother ranked third in the grade in this month's exam, with a total score of 620 points."
Zhang Pianpian was surprised: "620 points? Are you sure your news is true?"
"It's true." The girl said, "This score is enough to get into the top 15 in our high school. It's amazing."
"Didn't you say your brother wasn't talented? Now it seems he's pretty good."
A trace of doubt flashed across Zhang Pianpian's eyes: "My eyes can never be wrong. He doesn't have the talent to climb the immortal path. It seems that something happened to him during this period of time."
The girl asked, "The student union of Songyang High School is probably going to target him now. Won't you help him?"
Zhang Pianpian lowered her eyes and said calmly, "It depends on his own choice."
"If he's willing to sign with the student union, at least he can have an easier time in high school."
"Are you testing him?" The girl pouted and said, "Isn't it too strict? How many students can withstand the pressure from the student union?"
Zhang Pianpian said coldly: "If you can't stand it, then take the path you can't stand. Otherwise, I will hurt him by helping him."
"What kind of person he is, ultimately depends on what kind of choices he can make."
…
Songyang High School.
Zhang Yu could clearly feel that the atmosphere of the entire school had changed.
During the break, some unfamiliar classmates began to greet him.
"Student Zhang Yu, your physical strength has increased so quickly. Is this really natural physical training?"
"Zhang Yu, can you lend me your martial arts theory test paper?"
In the corridor, students from other classes who he didn't know were pointing at him.
"Look, that's the Zhang Yu that Teacher Lei mentioned."
"Alas, these monsters in the demonstration class really don't give us a chance to survive."
In the martial arts class, Teacher Lei Jun repeatedly played the video of him defeating He Dayou.
He also asked Zhang Yu to talk about his combat ideas at that time. After listening to him, He Dayou's blood and energy surged, his heart beat stronger and stronger, and he felt younger and younger.
In the cafeteria, some students began to deliberately walk around Zhang Yu, as if they were secretly looking at what he was eating.
There were also some students who had no close relationship with him who wanted to eat at the same table with him.
At dinner time, Zhang Yu simply called Zhao Tianxing over and asked him to eat with Bai Zhenzhen.
After all, Zhao Tianxing could take up two seats by himself, and the three of them just filled up the entire table.
As for this kid Zhou Tianyi, no one knew what he was doing today. He left school as soon as the get out of class was over and didn't even come to have dinner with them.
Zhao Tianxing also had meals with them several times during this period, and gradually became more familiar with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen.
Zhang Yu even discovered that Bai Zhenzhen seemed to be much more relaxed in front of Zhao Tianxing than in front of Zhou Tianyi.
At this moment, Zhao Tianxing complained, "How long will the electronic screen in the cafeteria display the monthly exam results? Now it's inconvenient to see the price when ordering food."
Zhang Yu took a bite of his meal and sighed, "Xiao Zhao, you are too narrow-minded. The school displays the monthly test results to urge everyone to study hard. I think it's okay to display them for a few more days."
Bai Zhenzhen beside him also nodded slightly: "After all, taking exams is our duty as students. How can the importance of showing scores be compared to the price of vegetables?"
Zhao Tianxing looked at the two people in front of him speechlessly, especially Zhang Yu.
Then he suddenly realized that Zhang Yu was no longer the student whose monthly exam ranking was similar to his, and the two were no longer in the same school class.
Those behaviors that deeply hurt other students, put crazy pressure on other students, and instigated students to fight among themselves were a naked show-off for Zhang Yu now.
"Zhang Yu and I were clearly criticizing the school's inhumane behavior a few days ago."
"But now it has become like this." He sighed in his heart: "Is it true that people's scores will change so quickly after they get high scores?"
Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu and smiled, "Yuzi, you seem to be in a good mood."
More than good.
Zhang Yu feels so happy now.
I have never felt that the scenery of Songyang High School is so beautiful, and the students and teachers are so friendly.
For him who has to practice hard every day, this is simply the most beautiful scenery, a rare comfort, and a reward from God for his diligence and self-discipline.
Zhang Yu waved his hand modestly: "Alas, these are all useless and empty names."
"I don't know why they all like to come to me."
"Ah Zhen, you've been the top student in the grade for so long, why don't so many people come to play with you?"
Bai Zhenzhen curled her lips and said with disdain, "Because I'm number one, they can't see any hope of catching up. All they can feel is the absolute gap in talent."
"And your sudden progress makes them feel that it is possible to imitate you."
"So everyone wants to be your good friend and learn the secret of your academic improvement."
Bai Zhenzhen swallowed the chicken leg in one gulp, mercilessly revealing the cruel reality.
“In high school, grades are king.”
"A selected exercise book, a spell technique that costs money, or practical experience learned in a cram school are enough to attract countless high school students. Not to mention the secret of your 70-point improvement in a month. Even the top ten students in the grade would be tempted."

"These students who come to you are not really here to make friends with you. They just want to learn the secret of your big score increase, and it would be best if they could take your improved 70 points and put them on their own head."
Zhao Tianxing on the side twisted his buttocks, and the two chairs under him squeaked under the weight.
He thought to himself, "I am ranked tenth this time. I also approached Zhang Yu on purpose."
"Is Bai Zhenzhen's words targeting me?"
"Although I do want to learn more about their excellent study ethics, and take the opportunity to ask Zhang Yu about the secret of his rapid improvement in grades..."
Thinking of this, he twisted his body even more violently. He felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to become awkward, and he temporarily suppressed his original intention of asking Zhang Yu to take the opportunity to improve his skills.
Until he parted ways with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, and watched them take the bus and the subway respectively, Zhao Tianxing was still thinking about this matter.
"Is Bai Zhenzhen talking about me?"
…
On the bus.
Zhang Yu, who had just got on the bus and was being squeezed by people around him, felt his cell phone vibrate.
He took it out and saw the message from Bai Zhenzhen.
"In the next few days, the student union may want to discuss the contract with you."
"No matter what the conditions are, don't agree to them yet."
"Once I'm done talking to them, we'll discuss it together."
Looking at the message sent by Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu's eyes moved, and he thought to himself: "The senior contract was negotiated with the student union?"
Zhang Yu has never known much about the student union of Songyang High School.
In his concept, a high school student union? What can it do? But now looking at what Bai Zhenzhen meant, the student union is obviously not simple, and it even has the power to negotiate contracts with students.
“I don’t know what the terms of the contract will be.”
"Looking at what Ah Zhen is saying, does he want to stand with me? Raise the price together?"
After thinking for a few seconds without any idea, he heard the countdown in his mind. Zhang Yu had to put aside his random thoughts for the time being and started browsing the textbooks stored in his phone.
However, after reading the textbook for a while, I don’t know if it was because of the feedback on the monthly test results or the upcoming contract, Zhang Yu felt a little uneasy on the bus today and couldn’t concentrate on reading.
He simply put down his phone and thought about his current path of cultivation.
Regarding my own thoughts in this regard, the power of ritual did not force me to do anything.
After all, thinking about the future, planning for practice... all match his desire to study hard, practice hard, get into college, work hard, make money hard, and finally buy all the antiques in the shopping cart.
"Next, upgrade the Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Method to level 10."
"The next goal is the Tianwu Refining Heart Technique, but this martial arts technique requires a level 3 Dao Heart, so I can only practice the basic refining heart technique first. When this technique is upgraded to level 10, I can also upgrade my Dao Heart to level 3, and then practice the Tianwu Refining Heart Technique..."
"From now on, the only things I can practice are basic breathing exercises, free-hand fighting, and high school basic sword techniques."
After confirming the future arrangements in his mind, Zhang Yu thought about his current savings of more than 70,000 yuan and the possible income after signing the contract in the future. He couldn't help but come up with an idea.
"Do you want to buy some more powerful and effective skills?"
Before, Zhang Yu had no money and no such plan.
But after receiving 66,000 yuan from Wang Hai today, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think about how to spend the money.
For example, spiritual roots, talismans, practical experience... many things he had not dared to think about before, now he had some vague ideas about them. He just had to wait for the contract to be negotiated and see how much money he had in his pocket before making specific arrangements.
At this moment, after thinking about the arrangements for learning the martial arts in the future, he couldn't help but have the idea of buying some martial arts.
"Even if you don't buy it, you can take a look first and have an idea of what's going on."
The phone screen flashed, Zhang Yu opened the shopping website and entered his real-name account.
After another round of facial recognition, Zhang Yu finally entered the website for purchasing immortal skills. However, with his current identity, he could only see the skills for the Qi training period.
As soon as he entered, he saw a row of recommendation columns with the words "your friends are reading: The Unisex Version of the Great Maiden Dharma, The Great Dream Heart Sutra, which can be practiced while sleeping, The Nine-Day Quick-Study of the Eight Talismans..."
