Chapter 186: School Power Tyrant, Level 10 Spring and Autumn

Chapter 186: The School's Electricity Tyrant, Level 10 Spring and Autumn

Within Songyang High School.

In the classroom of Class 10, Grade 11.

Though Class 10 was the worst-performing class in Songyang's sophomore year, the immortal cultivation atmosphere within the room still far surpassed that of an ordinary high school.

When Bai Zhenzhen, her face icy cold, opened the classroom door and stepped inside, what she saw were desks cluttered with syringes and medicine bottles, along with the awestruck gazes of the Class 10 students.

In the eyes of these Class 10 students, Bai Zhenzhen, ranked second in the grade and a winner in competitions, was a true inner-sect prodigy of Songyang High School, destined to ascend to the second level and attend university.

As for their Class 10? They were nothing more than a servant's quarters, destined to work after high school graduation, one foot already in the factory.

But now, seeing an inner-sect prodigy enter their servant quarters, the students were all astonished.

"It's Bai Zhenzhen! The prodigy from the demonstration class has come to our dump!"

"She's the top female scholar in the grade! If I could copy her exam paper, I'd skip class willingly!"

"Is she here to bully us? Don't take my homework!"

As various thoughts and emotions churned among the students, the Class 10 monitor quickly stood up and approached Bai Zhenzhen, saying, "Senior Bai Zhenzhen, is there something you need from us?"

Though they were all sophomores, in the path of immortal cultivation, precedence was given to the more advanced. To survive better at Songyang High School, Class 10 students always addressed top students from other classes as seniors or elders.

Seeing the monitor approach, Bai Zhenzhen pulled a power bank from her pocket and said coldly, "I'm taking the socket in your class."

"From now on, you'll charge this power bank for me every day."

"Once it's full, bring it to me."

Without waiting for the monitor's puzzled and nervous expression, Bai Zhenzhen turned and left.

She had no fear that these Class 10 students would dare disobey her orders. In the high school world, grades reigned supreme, and underperformers had no power to resist top students. Even charging a power bank was trivial; they would have to kneel and kowtow if she demanded it.

After leaving Class 10, Bai Zhenzhen visited several other classrooms, distributing the power banks from her pocket one by one.

Then she arrived at the floor for the first-year students.

Gazing at the empty classrooms, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Power banks are just a supplement. For real electricity theft, I need to touch the socket myself—that's faster."

It was still late August, and the new first-year students hadn't enrolled yet. Bai Zhenzhen casually entered an empty first-year classroom. Her detection ritual activated, scanning the four surveillance cameras in the room.

But all four cameras appeared dim to her eyes, indicating they were not operational.

"After all, the first-years haven't arrived, and this classroom isn't in use yet."

Reassured, she approached a socket and pressed her delicate fingertips against it.

As faint strands of electric light flickered at her fingertips, Bai Zhenzhen felt a tingling, crackling surge of electricity flow into her body.

Replenished by this current, the thunderous mana within her suddenly became active. As her mana units temporarily surged, it coursed through her entire body, strengthening her flesh and nervous system while emitting a faint electric glow.

After charging for a while, Bai Zhenzhen seized the opportunity to cultivate the Thunder Strike True Body.

This body-tempering technique was originally designed to condense thunder-attribute mana to stimulate and train the physique.

Reaching Level 10 and refined through her true spiritual root, it continuously enhanced Bai Zhenzhen's physical resilience, granting her body buffering and energy-absorbing effects at high speeds.

Now, with the temporarily surging thunder mana pouring in, the process of condensing thunder-attribute mana was bypassed, making the Thunder Strike True Body operate even more smoothly.

Since unlocking her potential, Bai Zhenzhen felt complete control over the thunder mana within her, as if it were a natural part of her body.

With the socket nearby to replenish her mana consumption, her body-tempering efficiency became several times greater than usual.

Even the true spiritual root in her dantian gradually became entwined with threads of electric light.

Only when her muscles began to ache and go numb did Bai Zhenzhen realize her body was nearing overexertion, so she stopped temporarily.

"Alright, time to rest and check on the harvest."

Returning to the demonstration class, she found her desk piled high with fully charged power banks.

Smiling at the sight, Bai Zhenzhen grabbed a power bank and ran out, sucking on its cable to draw a slow stream of current while beginning to breathe and recover her mana.

As Bai Zhenzhen retrieved the power banks, a student complained to He Dayou, "President, if Bai Zhenzhen keeps hogging the sockets, how are we supposed to charge?"

He Dayou frowned. "Bai Zhenzhen is ranked second in the grade. What's your rank? Letting her charge first—isn't that only right?"

The student said, "But..." He Dayou interrupted, "No buts. Either endure it, or surpass her in grades. Then you can charge at the principal's office if you want."

Watching the student slink away, He Dayou shook his head, silently thinking that as vice president of the student council, he had to enforce the rules fairly.

If it were Zhao Tianxing hogging the sockets, he would have spoken up. But since it was Bai Zhenzhen, he could only advise other students to endure.

...

Meanwhile, on the school rooftop.

Zhang Yu was cultivating the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen. With each set of movements, his muscles seemed to tear and break under the strain, then accelerate in repair and healing under the nourishment of his longevity mana.

His entire being grew stronger through the cycle of autumn and spring, death and life, continuously expelling accumulated medicinal and pill toxins.

Finally, as another round of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen concluded, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened. His Spring and Autumn Endless Zen had reached Level 10.

At that moment, countless cycles of spring and autumn, along with experiences of body nourishment and purification, surged through his mind, granting him a peak understanding of the technique.

The 49 forms of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen flashed through his mind, and the corresponding longevity mana flowed through his body. The cycle of autumn and spring endlessly strengthened his physique and purified his flesh, as if it would never cease.

At that moment, Zhang Yu realized that upon reaching Level 10, the detoxification ability of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen had grown even stronger. He could even control the pill and medicinal toxins that would normally be expelled, retaining them within his body.

These toxins would form a "Zen" character on the skin of his chest, its color deepening as the toxins accumulated.

Normally, these toxins wouldn't affect him. But when needed, Zhang Yu could unleash them, greatly stimulating his body, squeezing out life's potential, and unleashing physical power beyond his limits.

"However, the stronger the accumulated toxins, the greater the potential unleashed, but also the more life force consumed."

Zhang Yu pondered the mystery. "This is a move for desperate times, but I shouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary."

As for when to use such a desperate move?

In Zhang Yu's view, it wasn't for fights—fights were already desperate enough, and this move risked too much loss, possibly worse than losing.

Instead, the upcoming foundation-building exam was crucial for his future. If sacrificing a few years of life could increase his success rate, Zhang Yu could accept that.

"With Spring and Autumn Endless Zen at Level 10, I need to find time to gather the basic high school techniques and complete the High School Saint Body."

After familiarizing himself with the Level 10 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, the bell rang, signaling dinner time.

With so much time spent on body tempering, eating was no less important to Zhang Yu than training.

He leaped off the building, landing with a thud in full view of everyone, then strode quickly toward the cafeteria.

Scanning the line in front of the cafeteria, Zhang Yu saw purple people, black people, and beastmen, and couldn't help but marvel at Songyang High School's diversity.

The black people, in particular, gave him a sense of familiarity.

"It feels like I've traveled back in time."

"Who would've thought Kunxu has its own black people now."

Under the awestruck gazes of the crowd, Zhang Yu bypassed the line, got his food, and headed to his usual spot in the cafeteria, where Bai Zhenzhen had already arrived early.

As Zhang Yu ate while browsing his phone for basic high school techniques, Zhao Tianxing and Qian Shen also got their food and came over.

But at this moment, Zhao Tianxing and Qian Shen looked quite different from how they had been a few weeks ago.

Although their skin still had a hint of purple, it was much lighter than that of the high school students outside.

Zhao Tianxing still remembered that when only a few people in the school, like himself, had first undergone the transformation surgery and become purple-skinned, he had felt quite embarrassed.

But as more and more purple-skinned people appeared in the school, he began to feel more natural, and it was those who had not yet undergone the surgery who started to feel inferior and embarrassed.

And when the vast majority had undergone the transformation, the darker one's purple skin, the more they were looked down upon, the more inferior and embarrassed they felt.

Because after the Super Metabolism Surgery was completed, the lighter the skin color, the stronger one's mastery over super metabolism.

Zhao Tianxing thought to himself: "Without realizing it, a new hierarchy has emerged among the purple-skinned group at school, from the lowest level of deep purple, to the intermediate light purple, and then to the highest level of no purple—the lighter the color, the higher the status."

"And this is still Songyang High School, where not everyone has undergone the Super Metabolism Surgery. I heard that at Ziyun High School, every single person has had the surgery, and skin color has fully integrated into the school's high school caste system..."

Just then, an announcement came over the campus loudspeaker, saying that school discipline would be tightened, with strict checks for tardiness and truancy...

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen both frowned—they were notorious truants at Songyang High School.

After all, the current high school curriculum could no longer keep up with their progress on the immortal path; not skipping class meant wasting time, which was clearly unacceptable for the two who urgently needed time to prepare for the Foundation Establishment Exam.
