You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 349 - 298 Primary - Sacred Body of Earth and Wood (6/6)

Chapter 349: Chapter 298 Primary - Sacred Body of Earth and Wood (6/6)

On the way back to the dormitory, Zhang Yu continuously attempted combinations of various gravity adjustments.

Eventually, he settled on the custom mode.

Since during the day, the physical exhaustion is relatively low due to studying and attending classes, he used the full-body 20 times gravity enhancement, which maximizes physical refinement without risking bodily harm, termed by Zhang Yu as daytime study mode.

For construction site work, he used 10 times gravity mode, with specific parts strengthened to 12 times, 15 times, and 18 times gravity, termed by Zhang Yu as nighttime work mode.

Zhang Yu understood that as his physical strength continuously improved, the intensity of the training gravity would gradually increase, aiming to maintain a state as close to the limit as possible.

...

In the blazing flames, Zhang Yu only felt his muscles change in the high temperatures, his strong physique gradually turning to ashes.

Under the heavy pressure, Zhang Yu felt his muscles and bones crack inch by inch, his entire being gradually ground into a puddle of mud.

In the intense agony, Zhang Yu felt his seven orifices bleed, organs gradually decay and wither, experiencing his step-by-step approach to death.

In the classroom, Zhang Yu suddenly woke up, lifted the spiritual interface shield, seeing that there were only 10 seconds left until class started.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, trying to recover from the spiritual realm training he just experienced.

By purchasing the monthly spiritual realm service at Hammer Heart Inn, coupled with the consciousness acceleration function, Zhang Yu could experience dozens of deaths during breaks.

Under that extreme death pressure, Zhang Yu could feel the frantic operation of his Level 20 Residual Cattle Life-Sacrifice Heart Technique, hammering his Dao Heart repetitively.

"Damn it... truly paying to suffer."

Zhang Yu’s account balance: 7.3 spirit coins

...

Dao Heart, Mana, Physical Strength, Spirit Root Fusion, Mana Quality...

With the support of spirit coins, Zhang Yu could feel another rapid growth in his strength.

Forcing him to praise the benefits of wealth.

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed, by late October, Zhang Yu’s Dao Heart had reached Level 12 (51.5%), Mana 379.3, Physical Strength Level 12.01.

Additionally, Spirit Root fusion reached 80%, providing Zhang Yu with stronger abilities to mobilize mana and physical power, also improving the efficiency of body refining and mana refining.

Mana Quality, after digesting high-quality mana repeatedly, reached 127%, allowing him to feel greater endurance in his mana during martial arts application, increasing the power of Gang Qi as well.

The swift elevation of basic data also caused Zhang Yu’s rank to rise from seventh to fourth in this month and a half.

Now, only Ying Xin, Gongshu Jin, and Ji Yuanshu were ranked above Zhang Yu.

With the comprehensive enhancement across various aspects, coupled with Zhang Yu gradually revealing higher level body refining techniques, his work efficiency on the construction site naturally improved.

Returning from the site one night, the spirit coins he earned reached 0.049.

"0.049 a day, 1.47 a month." freewёbnoνel.com

Zhang Yu thought silently, "Still slow, needs to be faster."

Even though his strength was growing rapidly and he earned more spirit coins, Zhang Yu knew he spent more spirit coins in this month and a half.

Now his account had only 2.69 spirit coins left.

"Income and expenditure are still unbalanced."

"But can hold until next month without issue."

"Then borrow some money, should last another month or two?"

"By then should be about right."

Apart from the elevation of basic data and daily wages, Zhang Yu’s biggest gain was undoubtedly the Sacred Body of Earthwood.

Through this month and a half of training, besides pouring concrete on the construction site, he also engaged in setting up steel, filling templates, transporting materials, and other tasks.

During this period, by changing jobs and seeking suitable body refining techniques, he pushed the three techniques required for the Sacred Body of Earthwood to Level 20.

Combined with previous Earth Eating Divine Skill, War Demon Life-Extending Technique, and Infinite Shock Zen, he finally gathered six sets of techniques for the Sacred Body of Earthwood.

Beginner-Earthwood Sacred Body (6/6): Vastly increased resistance to seismic, dust, poison, noise, pressure, cancer, radiation, pollution, high temperatures, low temperatures, impact, chop, pierce, hunger. Born as a resilient figure for earthwood tasks, suicide becomes a time-consuming endeavor.

Zhang Yu, looking at the beginner effects of this Earthwood Sacred Body, knew this thing could counteract many side effects of earthwood techniques, combating various vibration syndromes, lung diseases, radiation diseases, noise deafness, cancers, etc.

"However... merely counteracting technique side effects?"

Although this Sacred Body appears to negate various side effects, for the self-recovering Zhang Yu, most of its resistance is currently unneeded; instead, using the University Sacred Body to increase cultivation efficiency proved more beneficial.

"Speaking of which, with so many resistances in this beginner Sacred Body... is there truly a site this dangerous?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu swallowed a small piece of steel rebar extended from his sleeve, accompanying the operation of the Earth Eating Divine Skill, plus the University Sacred Body’s formidable digestion, transformed it swiftly into nutrients enhancing his skeleton.

After consuming this, Zhang Yu sighed: "This site only offers cement for consumption, other materials are harder to scavenge."

...

In the following days, Zhang Yu continued diligently studying by day, strenuously working by night, until one night... amid a strong quake, Zhang Yu felt the floor beneath him slightly waver.

Though the tremor came swiftly and went swiftly, it still surprised Zhang Yu: "Was that... an earthquake?"

Moments later, Zhang Yu’s eyes spotted calming notifications, stating that a hazardous material explosion occurred in the underground layers of the university city, yet with ongoing rescue measures, everything would soon return to normalcy.

Just when Zhang Yu thought it was merely a common accident.

Half an hour later, all the construction workers on the 666th floor were gathered together.

Tu Lishan’s figure appeared in the visual lines of everyone.

He said, "Everyone, there is an emergency task that requires manpower."

"There has been an explosion in the underground layer, and now we need a team of workers to go in and repair it."

"This job is urgent and does carry some risk, but we are willing to offer 5 times the usual pay, and it should last about half a month..."

Hearing the fivefold pay, some people present were already excited, like Li Xiao who clenched his fists with a look of eagerness on his face.

However, some furrowed their brows and quietly retreated, such as Ying Xin, who shook her head, thinking, "The university is not a charity."

"Five times the pay... What really happened down there?"

Yu Xinghan said hesitantly, "Zhang Yu, should we go? Five times the pay... Working one day equals working five days, but to offer so much... I feel like there’s more to this."

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and directly contacted Zhang Pianpian to inquire about the situation.

Zhang Pianpian replied: There was an explosion at the underground pharmaceutical plant. The fire has been extinguished by several professors working together, but the damage was not small and a lot of raw materials leaked. They are probably asking you guys to do the repair work...

After asking Sister Xiang about the situation, Zhang Yu looked at the recruitment notice that popped up, thought about the resistance his Sacred Body of Earth and Wood provided, and eventually decided to sign up.

He said to Yu Xinghan nearby, "Don’t rush to sign up. Let me go down and check the situation first. If something’s off, I’ll withdraw."

...

minutes later, Zhang Yu, guided by the direction in his visual lines, arrived at the second underground layer of Wanfa University City.

In the distance, a large door was cracked and twisted, leaning crookedly on the ground.

Beyond it lay a large area of ruins, the original form no longer discernible.

Tu Lishan’s figure appeared in the visual lines of many workers. He said, "Due to the explosion, the Spiritual Mechanism Passage inside the plant was cut off, and the Array temporarily disconnected. Once you enter, you won’t be able to connect to the Spirit Realm Network."

"So now we are sending the factory blueprints and your respective tasks to you."

"Follow the annotations on the blueprints and proceed to your assigned target areas to work..."

"Although the fire inside the plant is out, there’s still some risk, so be careful."

"And everything in the plant is confidential to the university and company, so you’ll need to sign a confidentiality agreement..."

Before entering the factory ruins, Zhang Yu had already switched the Chain Technique Map to his Sacred Body of Earth and Wood, finding comfort in the resistances it offered.

Next, watching the map, he stepped into the pharmaceutical plant’s range, observing the collapsed workshop buildings and smelling the intense scorched odor in the air, wondering what exactly exploded to cause such power.

Just then, Zhang Yu suddenly stared in a daze at a wall, for there was a gigantic palm print on it.

Continuing deeper, Zhang Yu found the ruins were filled with palm prints, fist imprints, sword marks, and similar traces.

Zhang Yu was astonished and thought, "Is this an accidental explosion? Did someone fight here?"

Fu Ji said, "Heh heh, it seems it wasn’t an accidental explosion; someone attacked this pharmaceutical plant."

Zhang Yu gasped, "An attack? Who attacked here? How can anyone attack a pharmaceutical plant in Wanfa University City?"

Fu Ji: "Who knows..."

At this moment, with a loud explosion, a wave of heat erupted not far away, engulfing several workers.

Zhang Yu watched as the Qi Refining Workers were quickly dehydrated by the high temperature, their skins charring, and finally fell heavily injured.

Simultaneously, thick purple smoke rose from the site of the explosion.

Someone shouted, "It’s leaked toxic substances from the plant!"

Just as some workers were about to flee, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, whose height swelled to five meters, snorted and said, "What are you afraid of? Don’t move around; follow the plan for site repairs."

"As long as we repair the Spiritual Mechanism Circuit and restore the Array to the plant, the site will soon be under control."

Under his command, the scene quickly stabilized, and Zhang Yu joined in, starting to clear the ruins.

Soon, Zhang Yu realized the plant area was filled with dangers everywhere.

Explosions and heat waves appeared from time to time, and various toxic substances were like a pot of intense chemical soup, leaking everywhere inside the plant.

Outside the plant, Ying Xin thought to herself, "Nothing good indeed."

She had come down out of curiosity to see the situation for herself, thinking, "I wonder if this fivefold pay will even cover medical expenses."

With the high temperature and toxic environment on-site worsening, many Qi Refining Workers chose to withdraw first, followed by a small portion of Foundation Establishment Workers.

Ying Xin observed Zhang Yu and Li Xiao, who continued transporting materials and participating in repair work despite the circumstances, and thought, "Those lowly workers... they’re really pushing it."

"But this is nothing short of gambling."

Ying Xin dismissed Zhang Yu and Li Xiao’s desperation as degrading themselves, seeing their effort as the unavoidable plight of the extremely poor. She definitely wouldn’t participate in such dangerously risky work.

But thinking of the progress Zhang Yu and Li Xiao had made in rankings recently, a look of realization flashed in Ying Xin’s eyes.

"In five months, Zhang Yu has moved from the teens to seventh, and now he’s fourth in the class... just one spot behind me."

"Looks like he really did invest a lot of money, just like Li Xiao."

"However, Li Xiao has been unable to make ends meet for a while and is barely hanging on."

Recalling how Li Xiao always made weak excuses to refuse her recent invitations to cultivate together, Ying Xin shook her head: "It seems... Zhang Yu must also be struggling financially, which is why he’s so desperate for money."
