Chapter 7 The Differences Between People

On the bus.

After possessing the Feather Book, Zhang Yu thought his future life would be: Feather Book! Let me see where your limits are! But in the blink of an eye, it turned into... Ritual: Zhang Yu! Let me see where your limits are!

But things have come to this, and if Zhang Yu wants to remove the power of the ritual, the only way he can think of is to make himself stronger.

So at this moment he could only practice hard.

With every breath Zhang Yu took, spiritual energy from the world flowed into his body, gathered in the qi sea in his dantian, and was refined into magic power bit by bit, consolidating the foundation of his immortal path.

However, thinking about the process of practicing the 36 body-building exercises last night, Zhang Yu wanted to follow the same method to see if he could quickly improve the level of the basic breathing method.

The feather book unfolded as his mind moved, and Zhang Yu's attention shifted to the 'Basic Breathing Method Level 1' on the page, and he immediately dragged up the 'Basic Breathing Method Level 1'.

But just as he dragged the 'Basic Breathing Method Level 1' towards his own portrait, a hint of enlightenment emerged from the Feather Book.

"You can only focus on improving one skill at a time."

"Once you switch, you have to wait a day before you can switch again."

In Zhang Yu's mind, he named this function of Yu Shu "specialization".

At this moment, he suddenly understood that specialized skills can be quickly improved, but he can only specialize in one skill at a time, and after switching skills, he has to wait a day before switching again.

"That is to say, if I switch my focus from the Thirty-Six Fitness Moves to the Basic Breathing Method, then the Basic Breathing Method can be quickly improved through practice, but the Thirty-Six Fitness Moves will return to their normal practice efficiency."

"Unless I switch back to the 36 Bodybuilding Moves after one day..."

Thinking about the situation in physical education class, Zhang Yu decided not to switch for the time being and continued to focus on improving the 36 body-building exercises.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yu maintained the basic breathing method until the moment before getting off the car.

…

Inside the school cafeteria.

Bai Zhenzhen carried the dinner plate and sat down in front of Zhang Yu, who looked like a walking corpse. She looked at him curiously and said calmly, "You directed all night yesterday?"

Zhang Yu swallowed the big meat bun in his hand in one gulp and cursed: "I worked hard until late at night."

Bai Zhenzhen had no expression on her face, but she said without hesitation: "Alas, you are the only one in the school who has not had a sterilization operation. I have long advised you not to save the 20,000 yuan. Look at how much time, energy, and protein you have wasted."

Zhang Yu swallowed another egg in one gulp and said with a confident smile: "Bai Zhenzhen, let me tell you something. My current self-discipline and potential are shocking even to me. It won't be long before I will take your first place in the grade."

Bai Zhenzhen rolled her eyes quickly upon hearing this, and said mercilessly with her delicate little mouth: "Yuzi, it's fine if you say such presumptuous words in front of me, but if outsiders hear it, I'm afraid they will laugh so hard that they will pee."

"You should compete for first place in the grade in total score, not first place in catheterization. You can't use your advantage of not being sterilized."

Zhang Yu shook his head speechlessly, thinking, "Ah Zhen, this guy usually pretends to be cold and indifferent, but he dares to say anything in private, right?"

When it comes to the fact that he is the only student in the school who has not undergone sterilization surgery, Zhang Yu is no longer so surprised. He has gradually become accustomed to the madness of this broken world and broken school.

However, the fact that he had not been sterilized was still a little secret of his, and Zhang Yu only told Bai Zhenzhen among his classmates.

But when he thought about this, a question suddenly popped up in Zhang Yu's mind: "Why can I go to school without having a sterilization operation?"

At this moment, Zhou Tianyi also came over with a plate in his hand and looked at Zhang Yu curiously: "You look very tired. Did you study all night yesterday?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "I practiced the 36 bodybuilding exercises for a while and found something in my mind."

While eating and chatting, Zhang Yu suddenly made a discovery. It seemed that after Zhou Tianyi came, Bai Zhenzhen spoke much less, as if she had become the cold and taciturn academic master again.

After breakfast, the three of them walked along the playground towards the classroom.

Zhang Yu opened his palms from time to time and watched the feather book emerge and disappear from his palms.

"Is it true that no one can see the feather book?"

Just then, a bang was heard from the direction of the teaching building, followed by bursts of loud shouting.

I saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the main entrance of the teaching building, and a corpse with a blasted head was lying quietly on the ground.

People around were talking about it, and someone had already recognized the identity of the body.

Some familiar people gossip about the deceased.

"This is Lu Chao from Senior 3 (3). He used to be in the demonstration class, but it seems his grades have been declining. Is he going to be demoted again?"

"Lu Chao, he was in the top ten in his grade when he was a sophomore in high school."

Some poverty discrimination activists have launched a range attack.

"So what if you have good grades in the second year of high school? Poor people are poor people. You can see how many poor people can stay in the demonstration class in the third year of high school. Poor people are not suitable for cultivating immortals."

There are also people who have serious score discrimination and start their own reviews.

"Humph, he died after jumping from the sixth floor. He is indeed a poor student. If it was a top student from the senior class, I think he would have to jump from the tenth floor to die."

Bai Zhenzhen, who was passing by, looked at this scene and sighed, "Another senior high school student jumped off the building?"

Zhou Tianyi said: "This is the third time this year. It seems that the pressure on senior high school students is very high."

Zhang Yu suddenly asked, "Is he poor?"

Bai Zhenzhen glanced at him, not knowing whether to give him advice or sigh, and said calmly: "You borrowed a lot. Anyway, if you have to borrow money to study, you must not be rich."

"When these students enter Songyang High School, their grades are usually pretty good at first."

"But generally after the third year of high school, they gradually fall behind the rich classmates and end up only being admitted to second- or third-rate universities."

"As for the top ten, it seems that no commoner has been able to get into Songyang High School for more than ten years."

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this. He knew that the so-called top ten referred to the universities directly affiliated with the ten major sects. Those were also the top ten universities and the dream schools of countless students.

But what he didn't know was that no commoner's child had been admitted to the top ten of Songyang High School for more than ten years.

He thought to himself, "Is it because of insufficient resources or insufficient money?"

Zhang Yu recalled some legends about those wealthy students. It was said that many ace tutoring teachers, tutoring secrets, high-end exercises, laboratory drugs... were only circulated in the circles of wealthy people and would never be revealed to the poor.

Looking at the blood splattered on the ground, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "If my potential is not stimulated, I might also take this path in the future."

Although the jumping incident triggered a wave of heated discussions, for students who are busy studying and practicing every day, it is just some topic of conversation during their break.

Soon no one cared about this matter, and the students continued to devote themselves to their day-to-day study of the Tao, working hard for their future lives.

Although they were only teenagers, everyone already knew a cruel truth.

Enter different universities based on different scores.

The future sect will be determined by different universities.

Different sects determine a person's life.

No matter how good or bad the relationship is with the classmates around you, if your grades are different, you will go your separate ways.

…

Time flies and it’s time for three consecutive physical education classes.

After once again rejecting the sales pitch from physical education teacher Wang Hai, Zhang Yu didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the other person's gaze seemed to have changed.

But he really had no other choice. Whether it was a money issue or a health issue, he couldn't go for injections again.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

So Zhang Yu could only pretend not to see it and continue his practice.

Thirty-six Bodybuilding Exercises Level 2 (1/20)

Including the one exercise in front of the station, Zhang Yu now only needs to practice the 36 body-building exercises 19 more times to level up.

This made him particularly motivated during the subsequent training process. He stimulated his muscles over and over again, constantly squeezing out every inch of his magic power.

Even if he wanted to slow down and take a break sometimes, he would quickly cheer up and continue to practice hard under the reminder of the power of the ritual.

Accompanied by the pain of being torn all over the body, breaking through the limits again and again, and facing the threat of life and death again and again, it can be said to be painful and happy.

After spending more than two class hours, Zhang Yu finally lay down on the ground and didn't want to move anymore.

Thirty-six Exercises for Physical Fitness Level 2 (17/20)

“It’s reached its limit.”

The ritual power did not continue to force him, apparently believing that he had reached his limit.

But Zhang Yu was not discouraged at all. He almost upgraded a basic martial art from level 1 to level 3 in just two days. This was definitely something that Zhang Yu would never have dared to think about before.

"If I hadn't practiced extra last night, I should have been able to complete three PE classes, right?"

"But with this shitty ritual forcing me to seize every minute and every second to exercise, I'm afraid that in the future I'll have to practice extra at night, and then during PE class I'll be so tired that I can only rest instead of exercising... It will become normal."

Zhang Yu felt that this was just like his previous life, when some people took cram schools and studied on their own at night, and slept in class during the day. This was obviously not a healthy lifestyle.

"It's all because of this stupid ritual. It can't tell the time and place at all."

At this moment, Zhang Yu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly felt that his body was covered by a shadow, as if there was a mountain blocking his head.

Wang Hai looked at Zhang Yu on the ground and said coldly, "What are you doing during physical education class?"

Zhang Yu quickly said, "Teacher, I practiced extra last night, and now I can't do it anymore."

Sensing Wang Hai's bad look, Zhang Yu added, "I made a breakthrough in my Thirty-Six Bodybuilding Moves last night and have reached Level 2."

The reason for this explanation is that Zhang Yu knows that in this school where only grades are considered, most teachers will not make things difficult for students with good grades.

He felt that if Wang Hai knew that he had made great progress, he would not make things difficult for him.

This is something Zhang Yu began to think about after he vaguely sensed a change in Wang Hai's attitude towards him.

But Zhang Yu was wrong.

There are many kinds of teachers in this world.

For example, most of the main subject teachers in Songyang High School like students with good grades, students who are easy to teach and have a sense of teaching achievement, and are more tolerant of mistakes made by students with good grades.

Some teachers also devote more energy to students with poor academic performance and focus on improving their grades because they are easier to improve.

There are also many teachers of auxiliary subjects who don’t care how well their students learn. They just go to class on time and leave on time. If I waste one more second on work, I lose.

But there is another type of teacher who sometimes cares more about whether students are obedient and whether they challenge his authority than their grades.

In the class of this kind of teacher, he is the absolute authority and will not accept any disobedience from any student. Even if you simply use a method that he has not taught to learn, he will ridicule you openly or secretly and pull you out as an example to be belittle you.

And it is obvious that Wang Hai, who likes to sell medicine and corporal punishment of students, is such a teacher.

The physical education class at Songyang High School was his little kingdom, and the students were the channels through which he sold his medicines.

Originally, Zhang Yu had not bought medicine, which had caused his dissatisfaction.

After seeing Zhang Yu lying down and "slacking off" just now, he became even more dissatisfied, and wanted to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson, set an example, and let the students be ashamed of this person who doesn't give acupuncture in class, and not learn from Zhang Yu's natural body training.

But his words of teaching were cut off by Zhang Yu's words, "I made a breakthrough in the 36 body-building moves last night."

In Wang Hai's view, this has challenged his authority in physical education class.

"Is level 2 of the Thirty-Six Bodybuilding Forms so great?"

Wang Hai pointed at Bai Zhenzhen and said, "See, she stopped giving injections after level 2. Is she lazy in class?"

Zhang Yu said helplessly: "Teacher, that's not what I meant..."

Wang Hai said coldly: "Zhang Yu, I have seen many students like you. You rely on your talent and don't listen to the teacher's guidance. You don't care about the school's teaching."

"You have to understand that the reason you were able to make a breakthrough is because you have been attending classes and giving acupuncture seriously over the past three months. It was my guidance that laid a solid foundation for you."

"As for whether you are studying or taking extra classes outside, that can only be considered dessert at best."

“Only the lessons in school are the most important main meal.”

"I will report your problem to your class teacher. You can take care of yourself."
