Chapter 26 Registration for the Law Competition and the Monthly Exam

Songyang High School.

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed since Zhang Yu rented the Qi Hai spiritual root.

This day was the day when Songyang High School selected its first-year students to prepare for the city-wide law competition.

In the mana class.

As the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Zhang Yu stopped breathing for a rare time, opened his eyes and looked towards the big screen.

After several days of hard training, his magic power continued to increase rapidly, from 9.5 to 10.5. The rapidity of his improvement attracted the attention of many classmates in the class.

Zhang Yu's Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method also improved from level 6 to level 8 (3/160), but this achievement was only known to him. If his classmates and teachers knew about it, it would probably not be just a simple surprise.

After all, although Zhang Yu's mana increased rather rapidly, there were precedents to follow. Many rich people could increase their mana faster than him as long as they spent enough money.

But to raise a breathing technique to level 8 in such a short period of time... at least with Zhang Yu's current level, he didn't know who else could do it except him.

Looking at the big screen at this moment, the mana ranking of the entire grade has emerged.

First place, Bai Zhenzhen, 12.1
Second place, Qian Shen, 11.9
Zhang Yu continued to scan downwards and soon found himself at eighth place.

Eighth place, Zhang Yu, 10.5
"Eighth place?" Zhang Yu nodded slightly, knowing that there would be no problem in registering for the French competition.

But soon the chill in his heart surged up again. Listening to the countdown, Zhang Yu had to close his eyes again and seize the time to start breathing.

Teacher Yan on the podium lifted his hair, glanced at the rankings and said with satisfaction: "In the past week, everyone's distraction rate has dropped by 8%, and the efficiency of mana improvement has increased by 12% compared to last month. Teacher, I am very pleased."

She watched Zhang Yu start to take advantage of the time to continue breathing, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "I would like to especially praise a classmate here, that is Zhang Yu."

"Not only has he maintained a 0% distraction rate for two consecutive weeks, but he has also made a qualitative leap in mana over the past week, jumping from 16th to 8th place. This is truly amazing. Let's all applaud him."

There was sparse applause, and Teacher Yan then announced that the top ten would participate in the French competition.

"The French competition will start next month. I will send you the specific competition time and rules as soon as I get them."

"Okay, get out of class is over."

"By the way, students who want to buy the Soul Gathering Pill remember to come to my office. There are discounts going on recently..."

Bai Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the audience, seemed to have lost some weight, and her cheeks became a little sunken.

At this moment, looking at Teacher Yan's cheerful face, she thought to herself, "Isn't it because of this that I've been so excited recently..."

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked towards Zhang Yu's seat again and found that he started breathing again.

"You beast! Zhang Yu, you beast! Stop right now! Don't let me roll over you!"

After cursing in her heart for a while, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't bear to watch her good brother make progress alone. She closed her eyes in pain and began to breathe as well.

Qian Shen, who was sitting not far from Bai Zhenzhen, had been staring at Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu. Seeing that the two of them began to take advantage of the break time to talk to the teacher to breathe, his heart sank.

As a student in the demonstration class of Songyang High School, Qian Shen believes that he has never been afraid of tests since he was a child.

But over the past eight days, after traveling with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, his thoughts have changed.

"They rarely go to the toilet and they don't scratch their itch. I really can't do what they do!"

"Compared to them, am I the one whose evolution is not complete enough?!"

Staring at the two people who were still breathing, Qian Shen finally closed his eyes unwillingly.

Curl! It's really hard!
……

In physical education class.

Many students were doing acupuncture treatments or body training, accompanied by bursts of beast-like roars. Even the floor was filled with the strong smell of sweat.

Bai Zhenzhen wiped the sweat from her head and subconsciously glanced at the small dark room in the corner.

Because Zhang Yu was isolated by his physical education teacher Wang Hai, he has been studying alone in that small room during his recent physical education classes.

However, at this moment, Zhang Yu did not continue to breathe in and out like he did in the past few days, but began to practice the 36 body-building moves.

Amidst the crackling noises, Zhang Yu's muscles bulged and he was bursting out with violent force. He suddenly lifted up the exercise equipment in front of him, put it down, then lifted it up again, and put it down...

At the same time, he switched the specialization in the feather book from the level 8 Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method to the level 3 Thirty-six Body Building Moves.

There is naturally a reason why Zhang Yu did this.

First of all, due to the lack of matching spiritual roots, the spiritual energy that Zhang Yu can absorb is too limited, and the continued upgrading effect of the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method has become weaker and weaker.

Secondly, he has already qualified for the French competition, so his next goal is the monthly exam in nine days.

"My mana has increased a lot recently, and even if I don't breathe in and out with the level 8 Zhou Tian Qi Gathering Method, the passive breathing effect at all times is % of the active breathing effect."

"My mana score in this monthly exam is not bad. If I continue to invest a lot of effort... the cost-effectiveness for improving my score will be a bit low."

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "If I want to improve my monthly exam scores, it will depend on my Dao heart, physical education, martial arts, and Dao skills."

"As for Dao Xin... although I haven't mastered the Tianwu Lianxin Jue yet, I have already understood all its mysteries. I should be able to get a good score when I take the Dao Xin exam." "As for martial arts, in addition to the 20 points of theory, the remaining 80 points depend on actual combat. For this thing, I need to hire someone to teach me moves and fight with me in actual combat. It won't improve that quickly."

"Taoism is even more difficult. It is impossible to improve in a short period of time."

After much thought, Zhang Yu decided that it would be better to use the next nine days to improve his thirty-six body-building exercises and physical strength.

Especially when he was practicing the 36 body-building exercises, he actually discovered an additional benefit brought by the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method.

I saw him moving his strength all over his body, his muscles constantly contracting and expanding as he exerted force. The magic power circulation in his body continued to operate, and along with the flow of magic power, the strands of inspiration were transformed into magic power.

During this process, as the magic power circulates through the worn tendons and torn muscles, it begins to nourish the parts that have been worn out by exercise, replenishing the blood and flesh, accelerating repair, and enhancing the effects of exercise.

Originally, after reaching the third level in the Thirty-Six Physical Fitness Moves, one could mobilize magical powers to achieve a similar effect.

And now, under the operation of the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method, a more complex and delicate circulation of magic power continuously covers Zhang Yu's whole body, greatly enhancing his recovery ability and body refining effects.

He felt that if he could only practice the Thirty-Six Fitness Exercises twenty to thirty times a day, now with the help of the Zhoutian Qi Gathering Method, he could practice the Thirty-Six Fitness Exercises at least fifty to sixty times a day.

So in the following period of time, Zhang Yu planned to start practicing the 36 body-building exercises.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhang Yu suddenly felt a sense of emotion.

"I seem to be getting more and more used to curling."

"Alas, this broken Kunxu really turns people into ghosts."

But after practicing the 15 body-building exercises times in a row, Zhang Yu found out that he was wrong.

I saw him lying on the ground, covered in sweat, and a vague human figure seemed to be visible on the sweat-soaked floor.

Even if the physical education teacher Wang Hairuo saw this scene of hard work and practice, he would definitely say: You’ve worked hard, take a break.

But the one supervising Zhang Yu at this moment is not an individual, only... Ritual: Still need to practice.

"Please abide by the ritual agreement and work hard to fulfill your wish. Don't deliberately be lazy and procrastinate. 10."

Zhang Yu lamented, "Idiot! I've reached my limit."

Bitter!

This physical training like an ox or a horse is much more painful than breathing exercises.

At this moment, Zhang Yu only felt that his lungs were breathing like a bellows, and every inch of flesh and blood in his body was tearing with pain.

"I was too young and thought I had adapted to this world."

Listening to the countdown in his ears, Zhang Yu still lay on the ground like a dead fish. Until the countdown was about to reach the last moment, he suddenly jumped up, endured the pain and fatigue all over his body, and continued to do the 36 body-building exercises.

Thirty-six Exercises for Physical Fitness Level 3 (22/30)

After finally persevering once more, Zhang Yu lay down in his own sweat again, listening to the chilling countdown while feeling the power of the ritual that seemed to tear his body into pieces.

“Is this a world that humans can adapt to?”

"Damn it...I have to solve this crappy ritual before I'm forced to jump off the building!"

At noon that day, Zhang Yu acted out of character and, in front of Bai Zhenzhen and Zhou Tianyi's surprised gazes, he spent more than 100 yuan in one go and ordered a large bucket of food.

If we say that the growth of Dharma power is inseparable from absorbing more spiritual inspiration.

Therefore, the improvement of the effect of body training is inseparable from eating more and more nutritious food.

"I want to eat ten kilograms!"

When Bai Zhenzhen saw the amount of Zhang Yu's lunch today, she knew how hard he had trained in physical education class today.

"Do you feel that you have temporarily rolled up enough mana and are going to start rolling up your physical strength?"

When did this guy start working so hard?
Could it be the extra competitive spirit brought about by not being sterilized?

Watching Zhang Yu swallow the whole chicken leg into his mouth in one gulp, and then bite the chicken bones into pieces and swallow them, Bai Zhenzhen unconsciously sped up her eating speed.

Zhou Tianyi said helplessly: "Eat slowly, no one will rate your eating speed."

Not far away, Su Haifeng, who was also eating in the cafeteria, looked at the slow pace of some students and thought to himself, "The lunch break is still too long."

"I said the school should add more surveillance cameras in the cafeteria, and anyone who eats for more than 10 minutes should be criticized and fined."

Thinking of this, he drew up a plan and intended to send it to the principal, proposing this valuable suggestion for the canteen renovation.

In the following days, in addition to his regular classes, Zhang Yu practiced the 36 body-building exercises whenever he had time. When he reached his limit and could no longer practice, he was forced to practice breathing exercises.

I was tortured like this day after day, and finally it was time for the monthly exam nine days later.
