What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 318 Ranking taught everyone to respect each other.

Seeing that Zhang Yu still didn't know his ranking, Li Xiao thought to himself, "Is this what it means to remain calm in the face of great events?"

"The night the exam ended, I didn't even bother to check the rankings right away..."

"Stable, it's just too stable."

"After the exam, I knew that my abilities had improved dramatically and that my grades were about to skyrocket."

"The fact that they can remain completely undisturbed by external influences is truly remarkable..."

Li Xiao put himself in that situation and was certain that he could never do that. Knowing that he would do well on the exam, he would probably start refreshing the leaderboard as soon as the time was up.

Meanwhile, in the Foundation Building Class group chat, the class teacher, Jiao Lei, was still speaking.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: I want to give special praise to Zhang Yu.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: I remember that shortly after classes started in June, Zhang Yu's level gradually dropped to the middle to lower tier.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: But in just eight months, he climbed step by step to the second-highest level in the class, making a remarkable transformation. This is something all the students in the class should learn from.

Jiao Lei Zhenren: Of course, besides him, the top three students in the class are all excellent, and I have already applied for scholarships and loans for them this semester.
Inside the construction site, Zhang Yu's hands, which were pounding concrete, unconsciously slowed down.

"University professors do have unique insights, and their evaluations of students are very insightful."

After saving the class rankings and screenshots of the teacher's comments, Zhang Yu then looked at the other people's comments.

……

Che Yufei, who had been colleagues with Zhang Yu for three months, was actually quite curious about Zhang Yu's final grades.

After all, in his view, Zhang Yu looked like he was about to die at any moment, yet he still insisted on taking his medication, which meant he had become obsessed with university.

"If I take the final exam in this state... my grades will be terrible, right?"

Out of curiosity, since his return, every day after the leaderboard updates, he would check Zhang Yu's ranking as well as his own.

But upon seeing it today, his eyes widened in surprise, and he thought to himself, "The second one?"

"Taller than that rich guy Gongshu Jin from the fourth floor in his class?!"

"This guy... if he can survive and graduate from college, I can't even imagine how high his salary will be."

At that moment, Che Yufei felt as if he were witnessing a new star rising in the Department of Civil Engineering.

Che Yufei took a screenshot of the rankings and sent it to Shi Yunxiang: "Xiang, look at Zhang Yu's ranking."
Then Che Yufei thought for a moment and sent Zhang Yu a message: "Wow, you've made it to second place in the class!"
……

In the spirit world.

As a student of the Soul Cultivation Program at Fengdu Information Vocational and Technical College, Zhao Tianxing's gaze swept over the messages on the various platforms in front of him.

"Damn it! This review is garbage! You're just taking money to whitewash this. I hope you go bankrupt tomorrow and become a soul cultivator for the rest of your life!"

Zhao Tianxing's eyes flickered, and he chose to delete the comment for insults and abuse, then banned the other party from speaking for a month.

"Courses highly recommended by the Divine Lord of Transformation, the latest cultivation techniques and resources, and personal training services from Hehuan cultivators. Click on my profile picture."

Zhao Tianxing silently chose to delete the message, citing "violation of marketing rules" as the reason, and then permanently banned the other party.

As a flood of comments from various platforms swept across his screen, Zhao Tianxing continued to process them.

Suddenly, a notification sound came.

Zhao Tianxing's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately looked over.

Since entering the second level, as the various skills of the Soul Cultivator continued to improve, Zhao Tianxing gradually integrated them into his daily life.

For example, the notification sound at this moment is an automated operation that he himself set up.

There are many specific prompts, including reminders that coupons are about to expire, reminders that spiritual services are about to be renewed, reminders about taking advantage of deals on various platforms, and reminders about changes in student status.

Another example is a notification that the ranking displayed for a friend has changed.

"Zhang Yu is second in his class?"

"Wow, he's really strong. He's still this strong even on the second floor."

Zhao Tianxing was about to send a message, but after thinking for a moment, he opened the document and started writing.

After looking at the version he had written, he struggled with the decision again, and finally chose the one that he felt was the most natural and sent it over.

Zhao Tianxing: Wow, that's impressive!

Just as Zhao Tianxing was about to say a second sentence...

The next moment, a warning message appeared in front of him.

Warning: During work hours, the use of chat functions unrelated to business is prohibited.
……

Upon seeing Zhao Tianxing's message, Zhang Yu replied: "A tiny achievement, nothing to brag about."

Seeing that the other party did not reply to him again, Zhang Yu did not take it to heart, after all, soul cultivators are very busy.

Zhang Yu then randomly clicked on messages from other people, mostly classmates and some fellow villagers who had added him as a friend and noticed the change in his ranking.

And of course, there are his good roommates.

In the dormitory group chat, Yu Xinghan said: Bro, aren't you going to send a red envelope?
Zhang Yu replied: You're 9th, you're in the top 10, but you haven't sent any red envelopes yet.

Zhang Yu still remembers that when he returned to the dormitory on his first day, Yu Xinghan insisted on dragging him along to show him what was different about him, and kept showing off his 7th place ranking in the class at the time. Yu Xinghan also remembers that when he first saw the white-haired Zhang Yu, he was glad that he hadn't been selected for the outdoor project.

"Zhang Yu has been worn down to this state, if I go there, won't I never come back? These people in the Civil Engineering Department, do they not treat their students like cattle or horses, are they using them as soul cultivators?"

But seeing Zhang Yu surge to second place today, Yu Xinghan had to admit that the other party had indeed made tremendous progress in the past three months.

But over the past week, as Yu Xinghan watched Zhang Yu recover day by day, he realized that he truly couldn't learn it.

Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "This physique is too abnormal."

At the same time, Le Mulan also popped up in the dormitory group: What happened?

Zhang Yu quickly posted the class rankings and a screenshot of Jiao Lei, but he didn't see a response from Le Mulan.

Zhang Yu: @LeMuLan?
Le Mulan forwarded the screenshot to her brother Le Jingchen and said, "Zhang Yu has made great progress. Should we raise the price of Yu Juice?"

Seeing that Zhang Yu had tagged her, Le Mulan quickly replied: Zhang Yu, you're awesome! When are you coming back to the dorm?
Zhang Yu: I'm working overtime, probably in the morning.

Just then, Zhang Pianpian also appeared, but she did not speak in the dormitory group. Instead, she sent a private message: I secretly watched your exam video. You acted very well. It's just that you could have added more blood next time.

Zhang Pianpian: Her desperate efforts were a good cover, and she controlled her points well. Second place is a good position; taking first place would be too high-profile.

Looking at his sister's message, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "No... I really am working really hard."

Before he knew it, the night had passed, and Zhang Yu had recovered most of his health after working all night.

"This 'Broken Ox Shelter Body and Mind Technique' is really useful."

"I don't know where I can find the same set of chain magic diagrams."

As Zhang Yu walked out of the construction site, he felt that the ranking on his head had become brighter and more eye-catching.

As he walked along, workers would occasionally be drawn to the ranking on his head and look at him with respect.

The Qi Refining students retreated one after another, afraid of accidentally blocking his way.

Even some senior civil engineering students nodded slightly when they made eye contact with Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Fuji, this university ranking does have its merits; it makes people more respectful of each other."

Fuki cursed inwardly upon hearing this, "You didn't say that before."

However, thinking about Zhang Yu's performance in this final exam, Fu Ji was secretly shocked: "This kid Zhang Yu, every time I feel that his talent is already amazing, he can always show something even more incredible."

As someone who accompanies Zhang Yu 24/7 and has witnessed even the process of Zhang Yu rewarding her, Fu Ji deeply understands that... Zhang Yu definitely didn't have the constitution to casually take life-shortening drugs before.

"I have a feeling that this guy... seems to have secretly become stronger without my knowledge, but I've been with him all the time. What's going on?"

"Could he be a reincarnation of an immortal?"

"Impossible! How could a reincarnated immortal be this poor?! How could someone be reincarnated to the lowest level?"

Just as Zhang Yu was leaving the construction site with a sigh, Shengjie, who was standing at the entrance, was slightly taken aback when he saw him.

Shengjie stared at the ranking above Zhang Yu's head and murmured to himself, "Second in the Foundation Establishment Class? Zhang Yu is actually second in the Foundation Establishment Class?"

"Yesterday...could it be that he just took the exam yesterday, so the rankings were only updated in the middle of the night?"

Just as Shengjie was in shock, he felt Zhang Yu's gaze and subconsciously nodded to him, exchanging a knowing glance.

Just then, the security guard standing nearby said, "Isn't that your classmate? He..."

The other person only managed to say half of what they wanted to say before it got stuck in their throat.

The ranking of Zhang Yu as the second-best in the Foundation Establishment class seemed to carry a tangible pressure, effectively choking the security guards.

They understood that someone who could rank second in the Foundation Establishment class was definitely not an ordinary person.

Watching Zhang Yu leave respectfully, the security guards immediately surrounded Shengjie and asked curiously, "Is he really from your floor?"

……

After returning to his dormitory, taking his morning medicine, and changing his clothes, Zhang Yu prepared to go to class as usual.

Although the first semester's final exams have just ended, the second semester is about to begin.

Starting in March and continuing until the second semester final exams in August, the entire freshman year will be completely over.

When Zhang Yu walked into the classroom today, he could feel many eyes looking at him.

At the same time, Li Xiao waved to him and Yu Xinghan and said, "Brother Yu! There are seats here!"

Classes, blood tests, meditation... a day passes in the blink of an eye.

That evening, Zhang Yu opened his communication connection with Bai Zhenzhen as usual, and heard her say, "Not bad, Yu Zi, you're second in the class."

Zhang Yu smiled smugly and said, "This result is barely worthy of my efforts."

Bai Zhenzhen said, "Mom sent you some more meat. Your body is weak right now, so you need to eat more to replenish it."

"And when are you going to fix your hair? Gray hair looks terrible, makes you look old and poor, and makes people look down on you."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen's dress and asked curiously, "Zhenzhen, are you participating in an event?"

Bai Zhenzhen nodded: "Yes, the opening ceremony of the Top Ten Leagues. This year's Top Ten Leagues are being held at Tianjian University, I just came to take a look."
