You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 340 - 289: I Want to Join the Hehuan Study Group

Hearing what Fu Ji said, Zhang Yu nodded and spoke to her in his heart: "This place is not bad; I don’t sense any cameras here."

"Fu Ji, what do you think?"

Fu Ji sensed for a moment, then said: "Let’s go with this."

So, Fu Ji transformed back into a rag doll, serving as the symbol of the Evil God, and was placed on the cement altar.

Then Zhang Yu set his Time Residual Demon Pupil as the medium for the connection between human and god, placing it in Fu Ji’s embrace.

With Fu Ji’s gestures in mid-air, a string of mysterious incantations emerged from her mouth, and the next moment...an invisible Evil Divine Power passed through the Time Residual Demon Pupil and connected to the Spirit Realm Network.

Fu Ji said: "Alas, the conditions are limited, sacrifices are insufficient, and the scale isn’t large; the ritual effect I made for you today is just ordinary."

"For something like a monitoring ritual, it can control at most one camera within 10 meters."

"The upcoming anti-monitoring ritual, at best, can temporarily block all cameras within a 15-meter range."

With the completion of the ritual, Zhang Yu felt the new ritual powers growing within him and asked: "Your own network connection, is it completed too?"

Fu Ji chuckled and said: "The roaming ritual is complete; I can now share the Spirit Realm Network through your eye sockets."

In the eye of this Evil God, the world was no longer as monotonous as before; now she could also see various Spirit Realm projections and even browse the network.

Zhang Yu quickly tested the power of the monitoring ritual.

He first used the detection ritual to sense a camera, then with the activation of the monitoring ritual, a surveillance screen appeared before Zhang Yu’s eyes.

With the control of his mind, the camera rotated, capturing everything around it.

Feeling the effect of the monitoring ritual, Zhang Yu thought: "This monitoring ritual’s power... might be useful at the construction site in the future."

"It can help me pick up some unused ingredients."

"However, having both the personal and monitoring perspectives feels strange... my body movements have become sluggish, not as nimble as usual."

"Looks like I need some practice."

After completing the ritual, Zhang Yu moved to another location and continued practicing the War Demon Life-Extending Technique.

Thus, in the following days, besides attending classes and practicing cultivation techniques, Zhang Yu occasionally utilized the power of the monitoring ritual, practicing the simultaneous use of personal and surveillance perspectives.

That day, Zhang Yu had just returned to the dormitory. He was eating the mixed medicine while controlling the camera on the street outside, watching the people passing by the dormitory area.

At this moment, the figure of Le Mulan appeared on the surveillance screen.

Besides Le Mulan, Zhang Yu also saw a young man walking beside her.

Xuan Ge walked beside Le Mulan, scanning the environment of the 125th floor with his eyes, thinking to himself: "Sure enough, after coming up from the first floor, Le Mulan’s economic situation seems quite average, so she can only live here temporarily."

"Heard she still shares the rent with someone?"

"In that case, as long as I show a bit more sincerity, the price for dual cultivation with her might be lowered further."

"Or... I could have her move into my dormitory to offset the dual cultivation cost."

Xuan Ge kept calculating costs in his mind, but said out loud: "Le, this 125th floor dormitory isn’t quite up to par, the spiritual mechanism is far less abundant than the higher dorms; have you thought about moving?"

Le Mulan replied indifferently: "The conditions here might be average, but my dorm mates are very nice. Being with them... I feel it’s a great help to my studies."

Xuan Ge inwardly laughed at her words, thinking the students sharing a rental on this 125th floor could hardly help with studies – weren’t they all poor folks from the first floor?

At this moment, Le Mulan said: "I’m almost there, Xuan... if you have something to do, you can go ahead, you didn’t have to come with me here."

Xuan Ge smiled and said: "I was on my way, and as I said, I want to be friends with you. Can’t I chat a bit while passing by?"

"Now that we’re at the dormitory, won’t you invite me in for a bit?"

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Yu Xinghan, who had just finished eating the cement-mixed medicine, walked out.

He looked at Le Mulan and said: "The medicine arrived, Zhang Yu and I started eating since you guys weren’t here yet. Don’t forget to eat your share when you go in."

Due to the four of them returning to the dorm at different times, they often discussed online and pre-ordered the mixed medicine.

After speaking with Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan looked at Xuan Ge and asked: "Your classmate?"

Upon seeing Yu Xinghan for the first moment, Xuan Ge was slightly stunned.

He stared at the ranking of the Foundation Establishment Class on Yu Xinghan’s head, surprised in his heart: "Foundation Establishment Class?"

Seeing the ranking on his head, Xuan Ge felt an oppressive force rushing towards him, gently trembling his body.

"Le Mulan is living with a Foundation Establishment Student?"

While Xuan Ge was surprised, Zhang Yu also walked out, planning to do some Body Refinement.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s head with the ranking of 8th in the Foundation Establishment Class, Xuan Ge seemed to feel the air pressure become even heavier, forcing him to take a step back.

At that moment, Xuan Ge thought to himself: "As expected of the 8th in the Foundation Establishment Class, just seeing the ranking on his head gives me such pressure!"

The relaxed smile on his face turned cautious, and he carefully said: "I am a classmate of Le Mulan, my name is Xuan Ge, greetings to you both."

Just then, yet another graceful figure passed Xuan Ge and walked into the dormitory; it was Zhang Pianpian, returning from class to eat.

Seeing Zhang Pianpian’s head with the words ’49th in the Talisman Department Foundation Establishment Realm’, Xuan Ge felt the air seemed to freeze, his breathing became rapid, and his heart was in shock: "A scholar ranked in the department?"

Having seen three Foundation Establishment Students in a row, Xuan Ge’s thoughts kept changing, until finally, there was only one question left: "How can Le Mulan live with three Foundation Establishment Students?"

"Could I have been mistaken? Is this woman’s connections and background better than I thought?"

At this moment, Xuan Ge had already changed his original thought... the idea of using money to entice Le Mulan into dual cultivation.

"If Le Mulan really has a background, then I shouldn’t be spending money to make her dual cultivate with me."

"It should be her spending money to dual cultivate with me for the sake of improving her grades... that’s how it should be."

"I almost made a loss..."

Xuan Ge thought to himself how fortunate he was, and then thought, "But she doesn’t seem to have that intention?"

"Could it be that she is unaware of the benefits of dual cultivation?"

"It’s not impossible since she might have focused solely on her studies in high school, without learning about this aspect."

"I need to properly promote the necessity of dual cultivation during the university period to her."

"But..."

Thinking about the two men and two women in this small dorm room, Xuan Ge was taken aback: "Could this be a Hehuan University study group? Have they already formed a team for dual cultivation? Is that why Le Mulan is not interested in me?"

"Yeah, what’s the fun in dual cultivating with me compared to dual cultivating with Foundation Establishment students?"

Thinking of Le Mulan receiving the care of three Foundation Establishment students in this small dorm, and imagining them possibly engaging in wild four-way cultivation all night after school, Xuan Ge couldn’t help but feel a surge of... envy towards Le Mulan.

"You managed to get into such a high-end gathering."

All along, Xuan Ge felt that he should have gotten into Hehuan University, but unfortunately, his elders did not allow it.

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Yu, wanting to loudly ask him: "Can I join?"

Just then, Zhang Yu noticed Xuan Ge was lost in thought and asked curiously, "Hey, why are you still here?"

Xuan Ge took a deep breath and finally didn’t dare to say what was on his mind, only whispering, "Senior, I’ll be leaving first."

"See you tomorrow, Le."

However, at this moment, Xuan Ge was determined to find out if they were studying dual cultivation here.

If they were, he would spend money to join.

If not, he would have to educate Le Mulan about the benefits of dual cultivation.

Zhang Yu turned to Le Mulan, feeling that her gaze towards him had become somewhat odd lately: "Do you have something to say?"

Le Mulan hurriedly lowered her head and said, "No... nothing."

She thought to herself, "Could Zhang Yu have noticed? Impossible, I haven’t had the chance to make a move yet."

"Is it because his vigilance has increased since the last incident?"

Le Mulan slightly furrowed her brows: "Lately he leaves early and returns late every day, except for meals... and whenever he talks to Bai Zhenzhen in the dormitory."

"And whenever he eats, Yu Xinghan is always there too..."

Seeing Le Mulan lost in thought, Zhang Yu pursed his lips, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and headed to the space below the 100th floor to continue Body Refinement.

...

In the next few days, with Zhang Yu’s diligent cultivation, he finally raised the War Demon Life-Extending Technique to Level 20 the day before the exam.

Various basic attributes also showed great progress, with Dao Heart reaching Level 11 (87.3%), Mana reaching 314.2, and physical strength reaching Level 11.29.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Zhang Yu’s understanding of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique had deepened once again, bringing the application of this Cultivation Technique’s potential prowess to an unprecedented level, as if he had undergone years of diligent cultivation.

The operation of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique’s potential prowess in his mind became more and more integrated, more and more effortless to handle.

With a low shout, the muscles all over Zhang Yu’s body bulged, veins protruding, steam rising wildly, and his skin turned a shade of crimson as if about to drip blood.

Zhang Yu could feel the War Demon Life-Extending Technique activating, the reverse flow of mana increasing his physical strength by a full 1.5 levels temporarily.

At this moment, he could completely overpower his former self solely with physical strength.

However, Zhang Yu could also feel countless muscles tearing, his internal organs overloading, and any intense exertion would certainly result in a backlash, possibly causing torn muscles and broken bones.

But in the next moment, Zhang Yu, with his bulging muscles, seemed to deflate, and his entire body shrank down significantly.

And Zhang Yu could feel the temporary enhancement of his physical strength reduce from 1.5 levels to 1.0 level.

Then, his muscles relaxed again, and his originally crimson skin gradually returned to normal.

The temporary enhancement of physical strength reduced further from 1.0 level to 0.8 level, and then to 0.5 level.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is the Level 20 effect of the War Demon Life-Extending Technique, allowing me to control the degree to which my inner potential explodes at will. The lowest is 0.1 level without any issue, and the highest can break through 1.5 levels, directly achieving a double burst effect."

As for how strong the double burst effect is, Zhang Yu hadn’t tested it nor planned to test it for now.

"With my current level, a temporary increase of 0.8 levels in physical strength can be completely supported by the Residual Bull Sacrifice Technique alone."

"And if the Martial Arts Sacred Embryo’s healing ability is added, then a temporary increase of 1.2 levels in physical strength won’t be a problem either."

"If I further take injury medication or enhance with Taoist skills, then even a temporary boost of 1.5 levels in physical strength wouldn’t consume much lifespan."

The next moment, Zhang Yu withdrew from the War Demon Life-Extending Technique, and all the anomalies on his body disappeared.

The next day, the three-month basic course officially ended, and the Foundation Establishment class ushered in their first examination.
