Chapter 338: Chapter 287: 99% Like New (Thanks to ’Zhang Pianpian Meow’ Eve for sending Zhang Pianpian 200 favor tokens)

Looking at himself in ninth place on the leaderboard and Zhang Yu in eighth place, Li Xiao just felt a darkness in front of him.

"How is it possible?"

"Did his progress rate just leap again?"

"How much money did he borrow? How many things did he pawn?"

In Li Xiao’s view, when a student’s progress rate suddenly increases, there’s only one possibility: the person splurged more money.

Li Xiao thought to himself, "That guy Zhang Yu must have noticed my accelerated cultivation and spirit coin investments recently."

"So in order to surpass me, he invested even more spirit coins than I did."

"I can’t back down now."

With that in mind, Li Xiao slowly reached out and took out his Heavenly Eye magic remains.

He decided to temporarily sell one of his eye remains to exchange for more spirit coins to invest in the Immortal Path.

Thinking about the Heavenly Eye remains he had played with for less than two months having to be sold, a trace of reluctance showed in Li Xiao’s remaining eye.

Fortunately, the performance of this Heavenly Eye remains was quite good; even with just one, it was sufficient for daily life.

"Once I earn money on-site, I’ll buy one back."

...

125th floor, dormitory area.

Yu Xinghan picked up the parcel that had just arrived and couldn’t wait to unpack it.

Zhang Yu, who was eating nearby, curiously asked, "Did your senior send this to you?"

Yu Xinghan replied, "I shopped for it online."

He directly opened the parcel, and a single eyeball soaking in maintenance fluid appeared before them.

Zhang Yu asked, "An eyeball remains? Why just one?"

Yu Xinghan chuckled, "For over two months, in order to buy eye remains that are affordable enough for my daily needs, I’ve researched more than ten brands and hundreds of different models of eye remains."

"I’ve viewed countless review videos and articles on eye remains, joined communities for over ten different eye remains, and explored second-hand markets."

"Nowadays, I’m familiar with the model, performance, parameters, and market prices of eye remains."

"Finally..."

Yu Xinghan put on gloves and carefully took out the eye remains from the maintenance fluid: "I found this bargain."

"A Heavenly Eye remains that’s ninety-nine percent new, cheaper because it’s sold individually."

"But judging by the parameters of this model, even a single eye is enough for daily classes and cultivation needs."

Seeing Yu Xinghan’s confident demeanor, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I didn’t expect you, who use Extreme Tiger brand, to know so much about eye remains."

Yu Xinghan said, "Humph, Zhang Yu, even though you snagged a Time Residual Demon Pupil, you should learn more about eye remains; gaining knowledge is beneficial."

While speaking, Yu Xinghan had already replaced his left eye with the newly acquired Heavenly Eye remains, then exclaimed, "A good eye remains really makes a difference."

"The world has become clearer."

After testing the eye remains, Yu Xinghan didn’t rush to confirm the receipt or payment; instead, he carefully took off the eye remains. freёwebnoѵel.com

He took out a box of tools and meticulously wiped the eye remains, eventually placing it back in the maintenance fluid.

Zhang Yu asked, "Why not use it? Is the quality not good?"

Yu Xinghan said as if it were obvious, "Such a good thing, what should I use for classes? I can use my Extreme Tiger brand normally."

"The Heavenly Eye remains is best used during class."

"Otherwise, if used too much, what if it ages quickly?"

Yu Xinghan was determined to carefully clean and maintain the Heavenly Eye remains every day to prolong its lifespan as much as possible.

After eating, Zhang Yu left the dormitory, crossed the Magnetic Channel as usual, and headed towards the area below the 100th floor.

To be cautious, Zhang Yu would always go to different areas for Body Refinement.

This time, he reached a blind spot of surveillance on the 94th floor, swallowed a piece of cement, and began practicing the Earth Eating Divine Skill.

A dull sound came from Zhang Yu’s stomach, as if his stomach had turned into a crusher, accompanied by the sweep of devouring mana, cement was completely crushed and transformed into a basic material, then driven by devouring mana, sent to his skin.

This was the effect of Earth Eating Divine Skill at Level 10: in addition to strengthening muscles with materials, it could also enhance the skin.

"But cement is a bit weak; it only makes my skin tougher, and I can’t use too much, or my body’s flexibility and explosiveness will decline."

"To actually strengthen my body with this cultivation technique, better training materials are needed."

But Zhang Yu was unwilling to pay for materials himself.

"I’ll have to wait until I go to the construction site later to see if there are any good materials nobody wants..."

After some cultivation, as he completed the Earth Eating Divine Skill once more, Zhang Yu finally reached Level 20 in the cultivation technique.

In an instant, numerous images flashed through his mind, and Zhang Yu felt as if he had undergone years of intense cultivation, finally elevating the cultivation technique to the maximum level achievable at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With the Earth Eating Divine Skill reaching Level 20, Zhang Yu, in addition to muscles and skin, could now use training materials to enhance his entire skeletal structure.

"Bone reinforcement is probably the best use of this technique."

Zhang Yu closed his eyes and sensed the Level 20 Earth Eating Divine Skill, sighing in his heart: "After all, many high-intensity materials are often unsuitable for strengthening flesh; instead, it’s more suited for the bones..."

"It took more than half a month to finally master this Level 20 Body Refining Technique."

And with the arduous cultivation during this period, Zhang Yu’s various attributes greatly improved.

His Dao Heart reached Level 11 (73.8%), Mana reached 300.6, while his physical strength reached Level 11.12.

"With the University Sacred Body combined with the Level 20 technique, my progress is rapid."

However, after listening to Zhang Pianpian’s reminder, the growth of these attributes... of course, Zhang Yu didn’t fully reveal it, so that his overall score’s improvement speed wouldn’t stand out in the class.

"With Mana breaking through 300, actually I can already load a second piece of Magic Remains."

"But forget it..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "The Magic Remains are too expensive; I should continue body refinement as per Master Xinghuo’s plan for me and prepare for a future switch to the Artifact Refining department."

Besides study and cultivation during this time, Zhang Yu also inquired about the various rules for switching departments.

"The latest time is in the third academic year; if you can’t switch by the third year, you’ll never be able to switch again."

"I need to earn enough money within three years and strive to improve my body refinement strength."

...

The next day.

During the Dao Heart class.

Feng Jiu, with her phoenix-like appearance, continued teaching as if she were reading from a script, just like the first class.

At the same time, her gaze swept over the many students present, a line chart of each of their score changes already floating in her eyes.

"Ji Yuanshu, first in the class for Dao Heart, no abnormalities."

"Gongshu Jin, second in the class for Dao Heart, no abnormalities..."

"Li Xiao, Dao Heart improvement accelerated, noted as a loan promotion target, added to the information library for sale."

"Zhang Yu, the initial stability in Dao Heart improvement, sudden acceleration a month ago, then maintained stability again, added as a subject for observation..."

After classifying and labeling the students’ data and records and sending them to the depths of the Spirit Realm, Feng Jiu continued teaching the students without any fluctuations.

...

During Mana class.

Li Mingbo’s primary focus was still on the upper-layer students in the front rows.

However, when his gaze swept over Zhang Yu in the back row, he would always pay extra attention for a moment.

The main reason, of course, was that this student didn’t use his coupon on the Mana platform... neither buying Mana nor selling Mana.

The secondary reason was the notable speed of his Mana improvement recently, already reaching the top ten in the class, making him one of the outstanding students.

"I just don’t know if this kid’s progress is the result of borrowing money for cultivation or if he truly has good talent."

At least, Li Mingbo couldn’t tell from the other’s demeanor, unlike Li Xiao beside him, whose eye would twitch from time to time, seemingly often affected by notifications displayed in his eye remains, influencing his facial expression.

Sometimes, he appeared to be listening carefully one second, only for his expression to change abruptly the next.

Being from the same layer as Li Mingbo, he was too clear about this situation.

"This kid borrowed quite a bit."

...

During Body Refinement class.

Lang You Gong nodded frequently as he looked at Zhang Yu: "Your recent body refinement improvement is commendable, keep it up."

"Also, don’t fall behind in the matter of Spirit Root fusion."

Looking at this student mastering the Level 20 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen and wielding the Time Residual Demon Pupil, Lang You Gong sighed, realizing he didn’t misjudge; the student’s background was indeed extraordinary, which is why his progress was so rapid, with his ranking rising steadily.

After receiving another round of guidance from Lang You Gong, Zhang Yu suddenly said: "Teacher Lang, Yu Xinghan encountered some difficulties in improving his Spirit Root fusion; could you give some guidance?"

Yu Xinghan looked gratefully at Zhang Yu, then turned an expectant face towards Lang You Gong.

Lang You Gong was slightly taken aback, his wolf ears twitched before delightedly saying: "Yu Xinghan, if you have any questions, just ask me directly? Would I not guide my own students?"

Watching Lang You Gong’s gestures in guiding Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu’s Time Residual Demon Pupil suddenly activated, clearly recording every movement at 128 frames per second.

Zhang Yu thought secretly: "This way, I can eventually guide Yu Xinghan to improve his Spirit Root fusion, then replicate his Dao Seed Three-Eyed Divine Power."

And as Lang You Gong guided Yu Xinghan, his eye remains penetrated the other’s skin and muscles, looking into Yu Xinghan’s eyes, curiously thinking: "This guy... are his eye remains paired with Li Xiao’s?"

"One person using one? Such a good relationship?"

...

That night, after the Instant Earth God Skill, Zhang Yu began cultivating the second technique of the Earth Sacred Body, a technique known as the War Demon Life-Extending Technique.

This technique is a Foundation Establishment Stage Technique born for battle, capable of unlocking physical potential, and, when needed, reversing Mana to temporarily stimulate physical potential, forcibly unleashing power far beyond the physical limit.

In the process, as the power is exerted beyond the extremity, it can burst forth with overwhelming might, but as the power surpasses one’s control and tolerance, not only can tendons and bones break, and internal organs rupture, but also serious wear on the body leads to a consumption of lifespan.

With changing times, this once enemy-killing desperate technique is now used by civil engineering people to desperately work.
