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

6 AM.

When the sky was still dimly lit, Zhao Tianxing was already nearing the school.

This was much earlier than his usual school time, solely because the school was announcing the monthly exam results this morning.

Starting last night, Zhao Tianxing had been unable to calm down and study or cultivate. Today, he simply came to school early, wanting to see his scores as soon as possible.

"This time's Dao Arts exam was a bit difficult, I wonder if I can get 60 points."

"Alas, the Dao Heart exam was also very difficult. I pressed the Joy Release button twenty-three times, I wonder how many points I can get..."

Unlike Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, who couldn't be bothered to check their scores after the exam, Zhao Tianxing was the type of student who would go around asking people about their answers.

If someone else's answer was the same as his, he would secretly feel happy. If the answers were different, he would often ask a few more people.

And for exams like this Dao Heart exam, he would ask others how many times they pressed the button and how many times they injected the Joy Release.

Hearing that others pressed it more than him, he would offer words of comfort, but secretly rejoice.

If he heard that others pressed it less than him, he would act nonchalant, but his heart would sink, and he would feel distressed.

At this moment, when he was still more than two hundred meters away from the school gate, he saw that many students had already gathered there, obviously arriving early like him to see the results.

Some felt they had improved and were eager to know their ranking.

Some felt their grades were constantly declining and worried about being transferred to a lower class.

Of course, there were also pure score slaves who just wanted to know how many points they got this time.

Zhao Tianxing looked at Qian Shen, who was standing at the front and practicing his skills while waiting, knowing that the latter was always the first to arrive whenever monthly exam results were announced.

Glancing at the school gate, which had not yet opened, Zhao Tianxing simply found a corner to sit down, opened his book, and began to review.

After waiting for a few minutes, with a soft creaking sound, the gate of Songyang High School opened.

The students waiting at the school gate immediately crowded forward, like sardines in a fishing net, swarming into the school.

When Zhao Tianxing arrived at the classroom door, he saw that Qian Shen was already standing there.

At this moment, Qian Shen was staring at the transcript posted on the door, but suddenly felt relieved.

Although this time his total score had dropped a lot due to the lower score in the practical exam, at least...

"Huff... at least Zhang Yu's score matches his strength, the monthly exam evaluation system of Songyang High School temporarily has no bugs."

On the other side, Zhao Tianxing glanced at the surrounding students and thought, "Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen haven't arrived yet?"

"Ah, well, with their strength, they probably already know the results without looking."

Zhao Tianxing felt a surge of envy at this thought, wishing he could have such confidence and boldness to not rush to see the results.

Zhao Tianxing also hurried forward and began to search for his name from top to bottom.

First place, Zhang Yu, 653 points.

Second place, Bai Zhenzhen, 652 points.

Seeing these two people's rankings, Zhao Tianxing sighed inwardly, "Their scores in all subjects except Dao Arts must be close to full marks."

Of course, Zhao Tianxing knew that this didn't mean that the two could relax, because as time went by, the difficulty of the monthly exam questions and the evaluation criteria would become higher and higher, requiring students to constantly improve in order to maintain their scores.

Many students in the second and third year of high school saw their grades decline because their own growth could not keep up with the improvement of the evaluation criteria.

But Zhao Tianxing felt that with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen's talents, maintaining their scores should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, he felt envious again, "I wish I had their talent."

Looking further down, he finally found himself, and his heart immediately rejoiced.

Eighth place, Zhao Tianxing, 594 points.

Soon after, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen entered the classroom one after another.

Zhao Tianxing noticed that the two only glanced at the monthly exam ranking, seemingly not taking it to heart.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Tianxing felt that Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu looked really cool.

In contrast, he had been anxious and restless since last night, and rushed to see the results early this morning.

"Ah, I'm so lame."

But in the following time, Zhao Tianxing discovered that Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have something on their minds.

He couldn't figure it out, these two, one ranked first in the grade, and the other ranked second... what else could they be worried about?

Just then, a black shadow flashed past the window.

A loud bang came from the first floor.

Another student had broken down.

...

After school that day.

When Zhang Yu came to the school's meditation room again, intending to use his weekly free spiritual root rental privilege.

He saw Wei Xin swipe Zhang Yu's student card, and then said strangely, "Huh? Why isn't it working?"

"Student Zhang Yu, please wait a moment, I'll go ask..."

Zhang Yu casually took the student card, "No need to ask, maybe I was wrong."

Without asking, Zhang Yu also knew that this must be the Student Union's doing again.

And then, on the way home, when Zhang Yu looked at the message on his phone, he felt a bit amused.

It was a message from Lei Jun, the martial arts teacher who guided his martial arts practice.

"Zhang Yu, the school feels that your physical strength still needs to be honed, and intends to let you settle down for a year and participate in the martial arts competition next year."

Zhang Yu silently exhaled.

Magic competitions, sports competitions, martial arts competitions... obviously, the Student Union wanted to erase all his chances to participate and cut off his path.

And benefits like free spiritual root rentals would be reduced one by one.

If this continued, Zhang Yu seemed to be able to only return to working odd jobs after class.

"I'm still too weak..."

While waiting for the bus in front of the station, he seized the time to practice the Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Art, but the more he practiced, the more awkward it felt.

Because he deeply felt that he didn't have the thought of fighting against everything in front of him, which was seriously incompatible with the thoughts required by this mental cultivation method.

Zhang Yu felt like there was a ball of fire pressing in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent it.

Walking in the alley leading to the apartment, Zhang Yu thought, "What if I go to Li Xuelian? Seeing my current level of Heavenly Martial Heart Refining Art, would True Person Xinghuo want to take me as a disciple?"

"Can I create more room for negotiation by letting True Person Xinghuo enter the game?"

But thinking that True Person Xinghuo was probably just another person who wanted him to sign a contract to sell himself, Zhang Yu sighed again.

He looked up at the sky, feeling that the entire Songyang City was like a huge dining table, and at this moment, he and Bai Zhenzhen were like two dishes placed on the table, being selected by wealthy customers.

"Should I escape?"

"Escape to another city, work odd jobs while cultivating, and come out after developing for ten years?"

"But what about Ah Zhen? Would she be willing to escape?"

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Alas, this moronic ritual is still forcing me to take the college entrance examination, so she probably won't agree..."

Opening the door and walking into his apartment, Zhang Yu was slightly stunned and stayed rooted to the spot.

He saw a slender girl wearing the uniform of Bailong High School sitting in his chair.

The girl's long hair was combed into a ponytail tied behind her head, and her fair hands were gently stroking the scabbard of a long sword placed on her lap.

Zhang Yu opened his mouth with some difficulty, "Sis... sister?"

The high school student from Bailong High School in front of him was Zhang Yu's original body's older sister - Zhang Pianpian.

But what he didn't expect was that the other party was actually a student of Bailong High School, which was completely absent from Zhang Yu's original memory.

Especially the big number 1 on the other party's chest, which meant that Zhang Pianpian was already the first in a certain grade of Bailong High School.

Zhang Yu's sister could actually do this? How did she do it? Why didn't the original Zhang Yu know at all?

Zhang Pianpian looked at him coldly and said lightly, "Go see Zhou Chechen and sign the contract."

Zhang Yu frowned instinctively, "You're here to get me to sign?"

Zhang Pianpian said lightly, "I'm doing it for your own good. If you continue to hold on, they will force you to death."

Zhang Yu thought of the ritual on his body and said equally lightly, "Letting me sign is letting me die."

The eyes of the two collided in the air for a while. Seeing Zhang Yu's unyielding appearance, Zhang Pianpian seemed to feel a sense of determination to die in the other party's eyes.

She nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to become like this."

"I thought you were more suitable for living a peaceful and ordinary life."

"Since you are unwilling to sign with Songyang High School, then come with me, I will take you to Bailong High School."

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. Although he had a thousand doubts in his heart, he asked the most crucial question he felt: "Can I get into the Top Ten?"

Zhang Pianpian laughed, "Of course."

"Now you finally have a bit of the spirit to attack the Immortal Dao. In that case, I am also willing to give you a chance to take the Top Ten entrance exam."

Although it was the first time he had met his original body's older sister, Zhang Yu felt that the Zhang Pianpian in front of him was completely different from the Zhang Pianpian in his original memory and was full of unfamiliarity.

Is this really Zhang Yu's sister? Are they really the same person?

Did money and scores completely change Zhang Yu's sister?

However, Zhang Yu knew that now was not the time to say these things, so he asked the second most important question he felt.

Zhang Yu: "Can you take one more person with you?"

Looking at Zhang Pianpian tilting her head and looking at him curiously, Zhang Yu continued, "Can you take Bai Zhenzhen to Bailong High School with you?"

Zhang Pianpian looked confused, "Why?"

Zhang Yu: "She's my own brother, I want to help her."

He thought in his heart: "If I leave, leaving only Ah Zhen to resist the Student Union, then those beasts in the Student Union will definitely attack even harder."

Zhang Pianpian said blankly, "Own brother? Is Bai Zhenzhen also our relative?"

Zhang Yu initially thought that Zhang Pianpian was mocking him, but looking at the other party's serious appearance, he tentatively explained, "I mean that my friendship with her is very, very good."

"When I was at my poorest and darkest, she gave me 500 and treated me to a meal."

Zhang Pianpian still looked confused and asked, "Can't you transfer 500 back to her now?"

Zhang Yu: "No."

Zhang Pianpian: "What about 5000?"

Zhang Yu: "This is not a matter of how much money there is."

He felt even more strange. The Zhang Pianpian in front of him was too unlike the older sister in his original memory.

And seeing Zhang Yu's insistence, Zhang Pianpian pondered for a moment and said, "Bailong High School has limited places, I can only take one person to Bailong High School at most."

Zhang Yu's heart sank.

But he heard Zhang Pianpian continue, "But if you can pass an assessment."

"Both of you can be saved."

Zhang Yu quickly asked, "What assessment?"

"God Assistance, or rather, God's job outsourcing." Zhang Pianpian said lightly, "As long as you have an identity under a God's department, then at least before I enter university, even if you stay in Songyang High School, no one will dare to mess with you."

"I can be your recommender to participate in the assessment."

"But you must understand that if you follow me into Bailong High School, I can protect you until you graduate from high school."

"But if you only rely on this God Assistance identity, then after I enter university, they will not have so many scruples."

"And now there are only half a year left before I graduate from high school and enter university."

"Are you sure you want to take this risk?"
