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

Chapter 617 The more videos you watch, the higher your threshold becomes.

"The true domain of the strong?"

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the ranking of the advertising quotes he had received. He was ranked third, with the highest quote for the next advertisement being 650 spirit coins.

Of course, Zhang Yu knew that he couldn't possibly get the 650 spirit coins in full, since he had to share the profits with the school and pay taxes.

Zhang Yu estimated in his mind: "I should be able to get around 200 spirit coins in the end."

Dao Qiankun, who was standing to the side, then pointed out: "Although the naming technique is powerful, it is not without limitations."

"First of all, there are various conditions for using it. You can't just find a corner and keep using your skills to gain benefits."

"Secondly, the sponsorship strategy aims for a positive impact. If you use it and end up losing, or perform poorly, the money will be reduced. The more you fail, the less money you get, until the sponsorship is eventually canceled."

"So although the naming technique is profitable every time it is used, and can be said to become stronger with each battle, in the long run, it should not be abused. At least it should be used only when you have a certain degree of confidence and confirm that it is effective."

"Especially with your sponsorship move this time, the company might only buy the rights to one match. If they want to sign a long-term contract, you'll need to have an outstanding performance in this match..."

Zhang Yu listened attentively to Dao Qiankun's introduction, knowing that the other party had far more experience in this area than he did.

As Dao Qiankun watched Zhang Yu listen attentively, he became increasingly pleased with the humility and obedience the other man displayed.

Especially considering the other party's words in the interview that he would put him on the throne, and how the other party fought desperately to create opportunities for him in the last team competition, all of this made Zhang Yu more and more pleasing to the eye in Dao Qiankun's eyes.

Dao Qiankun said, "Send me a list of the advertisements you can accept, and I'll help you choose one."

Zhang Yu had no objection and directly forwarded the document sent by Anzhen Zhenjun to Dao Qiankun.

Dao Qiankun projected the document onto the screen, crossing out the names of each company as he spoke, "When accepting advertisements, you can't just look at the money; you also need to pay attention to style and image."

"It's like cultivating a martial art. You can't be impatient for quick results. You can't just look at which technique you can improve the fastest right now. You have to look at the long-term potential of the technique and whether it's suitable for you."

"The same goes for advertising. Many companies offer high salaries, but accepting these offers lowers one's image and is detrimental to one's personal brand value. It can even reduce one's potential as an immortal cultivator..."

"But for those in charge of the school, they only care about the revenue of the current season, not your future."

As he spoke, Dao Qiankun crossed out the advertisements for several companies, including Jihu Brand and Yaodao Pavilion.

Among the remaining brands, Dao Qiankun also highlighted brands such as Wan Dao Jiang Zong, Ling Xiao Zhi Zao, and Yun Xiu Shu Yuan.

He continued, "Let me circle these companies for you. Have them come up with an advertising plan and a specific sponsorship plan. Then you can choose one from these companies."

“Sponsorship strategies not only affect the company’s image, but the specific sponsorship plan will also affect how you execute the strategy.”

"There's a week until the next match, which isn't a long time, but it's not short either. You need to hurry up and talk to them..."

After listening to Dao Qiankun's advice, Zhang Yu felt he had gained a lot. After discussing with Anzhen Zhenjun, he sent his opinions to the company and waited for the next feedback.

……

at the same time.

On the other side is the interior of the flying boat belonging to Tianjian University.

Bai Zhenzhen sat cross-legged in the quiet room, watching the crimson sword energy flicker and swirl before her.

She recalled the scenes from the previous match.

As Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing engaged in their final battle, Bai Zhenzhen also wanted to provide stronger and more powerful support.

Even before the battle began, Zhang Yu wanted Bai Zhenzhen to try to infuse him with sword energy to ambush Kuang Tianqing, but no matter how Bai Zhenzhen tried, she couldn't unleash that destructive black sword energy again.

Later, as Zhang Yu walked step by step toward death, although Bai Zhenzhen's sword energy once again transformed into that lifeless, all-severing black sword energy, even the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation could not transmit this sword energy. In fact, this sword energy would even damage the Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword.

After the match, Bai Zhenzhen dared not approach Zhang Yu, fearing that she might accidentally kill the already seriously injured Zhang Yu in her emotional state.

"I'm so useless..."

Bai Zhenzhen clenched her fists: "I can neither stop others from insulting Zhang Yu, nor can I help Zhang Yu charge for dual cultivation."

"The crooked path leads nowhere, and the righteous path also leads nowhere."

"Whether in ancient or modern times, they are just as useless. They don't act like a college student of Tianjian University or a disciple of the Nascent Soul stage at all."

However, Bai Zhenzhen did not come away empty-handed from this team competition.

As she watched Zhang Yu walk step by step toward death, thanks to her own talent and the adaptability of her divine root, she gradually gained a little control over the changes in the sword energy of the Extreme Emotion Sword Path, and was even able to retain a certain degree of rationality while unleashing sword energy.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen finally grasped some of the mysteries of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.

"Only when one's heart is filled with extreme emotions and one has experienced love, hate, and passion can one truly unleash the ultimate moves in the Extreme Emotion Sword Path."

"Because only those with deep and unwavering love can wield a sword that severs all affection and extinguishes all life."

"Using compassion to control ruthlessness—that is the essence of the ultimate emotional swordsmanship..."

A video began playing in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, showing her and Zhang Yu's first encounter with Kuang Tianqing, and the scene where she watched helplessly as Kuang Tianqing began to humiliate Zhang Yu.

Heartbreaking...

The more Bai Zhenzhen looked, the more suffocated she felt in her chest, the more anxious and short of breath she became. The crimson sword energy surrounding her gradually transformed under this emotional influence, turning into an ominous black sword energy filled with an aura of annihilation. "As expected..."

With her palms open, Bai Zhenzhen looked with one eye at the surging black sword energy in her palm, and with the other eye at the scene of Zhang Yu struggling in the video. She felt the sword energy becoming more and more turbulent.

"This is how compassion triumphs over ruthlessness. It is precisely because of the deep bond between me and Zhang Yu that I was able to unleash this life-extinguishing sword strike because of his plight."

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhenzhen turned off the video, and the black sword energy around her gradually turned back to red.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhenzhen stored the video file titled "Crazy Sky Battles Zhang Yu (Part 1)" in a secret directory.

She thought bitterly, "I will remember every person who insults Zhang Yu. You are the resources that will enable me to advance the Extreme Emotion Sword Path."

Just as Bai Zhenzhen was thinking this, she heard the voice of the Seven Emotions God: "Are you studying the Dao of Swords again?"

"If you want to inspire your ultimate swordsmanship by watching videos and recalling those unforgettable scenes... then you've already gone astray."

Bai Zhenzhen's gaze sharpened, and she asked, "Master, what does this mean?"

The Seven Emotions God said calmly, "One of your senior brothers once used this method."

"He was very successful at first. He watched videos while fighting, repeatedly using his sword energy to defeat his opponents. He was unparalleled among the top ten and won many championships."

"But people's hearts are constantly changing, and so are their emotions."

"The more videos you watch, the higher your threshold becomes."

“It might start out as something ordinary, like a video that insulted his wife, but it was enough to make him unleash his sword energy.”

"But after watching for a long time, you will gradually become numb and need stronger stimulation and more insulting videos to make him unleash his sword energy."

"Even later, when demons and college students were added to the video, he was able to activate his sword energy."

"If you keep going like this, one day you will break through your bottom line and exceed the limit of what you can bear, and then you will go astray."

The Seven Emotions God said in a cold and cruel tone, "That's why I say this is a crooked path, and the end of this crooked path is going astray and going completely insane."

Bai Zhenzhen was startled upon hearing this, and then said, "Then at least... it'll be alright for the time being."

She gritted her teeth and said, "I will be careful to control the number of times I use this ultimate move, and I won't use it lightly."

The Seven Emotions God sighed, "You'd better take care of yourself."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself, "If my divine spiritual root helps me adapt, will it help me to continue smoothly?"

Thinking of the divine spirit root, Bai Zhenzhen recalled the time she and Zhang Yu exchanged divine spirit roots at the civil engineering competition.

Although it was only a short while, it gave Bai Zhenzhen an extraordinary feeling, and made her look forward to the next exchange of spiritual roots.

She thought to herself, "Alas, it's a pity that our exchange of divine roots is too commotion. Once I unleash my sword energy, it will attract the attention of others."

"Especially now that this place is attracting the attention of many Nascent Soul cultivators, if they were to witness the spying of these cultivators and discover the divine root within Yu Zi..."

Although Bai Zhenzhen really wanted to exchange divine roots with Zhang Yu to enhance their strength, she knew that now was not the time and she had to find a safer and more discreet opportunity.

Temporarily suppressing her urge to exchange spiritual roots, Bai Zhenzhen looked at the flying sword beside her.

This flying sword, chosen from the Seven Emotions Divine Lord's sword armory, was never fully under Bai Zhenzhen's control, but she could sense the powerful force contained within it.

"We cannot use our ultimate techniques lightly, and we will not have the opportunity to exchange our spiritual roots for the time being."

Looking at the flying sword in front of her, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "The fastest way to improve my combat power right now is to completely master this flying sword."

……

Deep within the spirit world.

As Xinghuo Zhenren read the live text message from Li Xuelian and Zhang Yu's post-match interview, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Xinghuo Zhenren: "I never imagined that one day my name would have the chance to spread throughout the university."

"I wonder what my old friends will think when they hear this."

Li Xuelian said, "Father, when Zhang Yu continues to climb up and becomes a Golden Core cultivator, or even a Nascent Soul cultivator, you may still have a chance to go back."

Master Xinghuo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid someone will transfer their hatred for me to Zhang Yu."

"This child probably shouldn't have mentioned my name."

Li Xuelian said, "Father, some people hate you, and some people remember you. I think those who hate you may not make things difficult for Zhang Yu, while those who remember you... might actually do Zhang Yu a favor."

……

Meanwhile, when Zhang Yu returned to his flying boat, he found that the avatar of the Magnetic Extreme True Lord was already waiting there.

"Master!" Zhang Yu hurriedly went to greet him, respectfully saying, "What brings you here?"

Magnetism True Monarch said calmly, "If I hadn't come, my disciple would have been mistaken for a civil engineering student."
