Chapter 329: Everyone Misses President Wang

Primary Level - Continuous Qi Vessels (6/6): The more breathing techniques you master, the faster your mana recovers.

Looking at the first-level effect of Continuous Qi Vessels, Zhang Yu felt a slight stir in his heart.

"Simple and brutal, indeed."

"With the number of breathing techniques I currently possess, I wonder how much my recovery speed can increase."

Zhang Yu was eager to test it out. In an instant, a surging wave of Astral Qi erupted within his body, transforming into a pair of hands that lunged toward the surrounding steel bars.

Originally, when using Astral Qi for long-distance work, the further the distance, the more severe the consumption of Astral Qi became.

Thus, to conserve mana, Zhang Yu would always keep his Astral Qi working within a short-to-medium range while practicing his breathing techniques.

But this time, in order to consume more mana in a short period, Zhang Yu directly propelled the hands formed by his Astral Qi to a distance of over thirty meters.

The cloud-like Astral Qi instantly materialized into eight arms, erupting wildly from his back and shooting out in all directions like eight giant pythons.

These Astral Qi arms either laid bricks, twisted steel bars, or cleared debris... making Zhang Yu look as though he had split into several people, working tirelessly across this construction site.

Such a large-scale, long-distance expenditure made Zhang Yu feel the mana within his body draining at an extreme speed.

"With me expending energy at full throttle like this, I'm afraid my mana will be completely exhausted in ten minutes at most."

With this thought, a mere movement of Zhang Yu's mind opened the Link Method Diagram of the Feather Scroll, switching the University Sacred Body to Continuous Qi Vessels.

In that instant, Zhang Yu felt the subtleties of each breathing technique flood into his mind as he breathed in and out.

The meridians used by the various breathing techniques seemed to be completely thrown open at this moment, accommodating spiritual opportunity at a higher speed and on a broader scale.

He felt as though his Dantian had turned into a massive black hole, swallowing the surging spiritual opportunity whole along with the circulation of mana throughout his body, and then breathing out mana...

The recovery speed of his mana was skyrocketing.

"If expending full energy just now would have drained my mana in ten minutes... now I can hold out for at least an hour."

At this thought, Zhang Yu's heart jolted, and he became increasingly expectant of the effects of the latter two levels of Continuous Qi Vessels.

"A pity, I can't rely on this to sell a massive amount of mana."

Zhang Yu thought secretly to himself: "After all, this recovery effect is too astonishing. Such a large volume of goods would inevitably draw unnecessary attention."

"However, while selling in massive quantities won't work, selling a little less every day should be fine."

"And then there is Le Mulan's side..."

Zhang Yu thought that he could feed a bit more mana to Le Mulan every day from now on, accelerating the improvement of her mana quality.

"Judging by the current progress, with my diligent infusion combined with her own constant spending to improve her mana quality, Le Mulan's Deep Freeze Dharma Vessel should be completed next month."

As he pondered, Zhang Yu still switched Continuous Qi Vessels back to the University Sacred Body. After all, he was still in the development stage, and he needed the University Sacred Body more to accelerate his cultivation progress and improve his cultivation efficiency, rather than to recover mana quickly.

Thus, in the next moment, Zhang Yu pulled back the bursts of Astral Qi, resuming his short-to-medium distance working style, doing his best to maintain the balance between mana consumption and recovery.

In the days that followed, Wang Yin never appeared again. He did not launch any offline retaliation, nor did he threaten a refund, let alone come to the door to argue. He didn't even contact them, as if nothing had ever happened.

And without Wang Yin's financial support, Zhang Yu could no longer eat out or get massages every day. He felt his cultivation speed suddenly slow down by quite a bit, making him terribly unaccustomed to it.

"Is there still no news of President Wang?"

On this day, Zhang Yu could not help but ask Tian Yang the same question once again.

Tian Yang shook his head: "He blacklisted me. At least, I can't reach him anymore."

"From what I know so far, he is probably offline now to focus on studying and cultivation, preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam."

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly, feeling that he was now like a live-streamer who had lost his number one wealthy benefactor. Not only did the big boss stop watching the stream, but he had even blacklisted the chat manager.

In particular, the spiritual coins he had earned from Wang Yin during this period were simply more than all his wages combined since he came to the University Town, making Zhang Yu deeply realize that live-streaming brought in money much faster than working a regular job.

And a similar realization had long since surfaced in Yu Xinghan's heart as well.

"Is there still no news of President Wang?"

Seeing Zhang Yu shake his head, Yu Xinghan lamented, thinking to himself that those days of freeloading massages every day were probably gone for good.

"Forget it, anyway, the material I accumulated in the massage parlor is about enough, it should suffice for the short term."

During this period, besides using his Three-Eyed Divine Ability to learn massage skills, Yu Xinghan had also recorded a lot of material for store-visiting videos, taking time every week to edit and upload them.

"My civil engineering daily life and my store-visiting videos have seen a bit of a rise in views recently, but relying on videos to make a living is probably not something that can be achieved overnight."

"I still need a job that can earn some quick cash right now."

"However, my massage technique is newly learned, I still need to practice it..."

Thinking of this, Yu Xinghan looked at Li Xiao beside him and said, "Do you want to try the massage technique I learned?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao naturally nodded and agreed repeatedly. He lay flat on the ground, enjoying Yu Xinghan's unfamiliar massage techniques while chatting idly. "Xinghan, what kind of eye remnant are you using?"

"Tiangong's."

"What a coincidence? I use a Tiangong eye remnant too. Then what kind of eye remnant does Brother Yu use?"

"Time-Damaged Demonic Eye."

"Oh~ Then where do you plan to go for your next construction site? Can I come with you?"

Spending a few days either practicing on Li Xiao or finding Zhang Yu for a round of trials, Yu Xinghan quickly and completely digested the massage skills he had stolen using his Three-Eyed Divine Ability, thoroughly integrating the techniques accumulated by those technicians over many years.

Then he contacted Li Xuelian.

Yu Xinghan: Senior sister, I want to join the dark massage world

Li Xuelian: You want to give unlicensed massages? Can you do it? Since when do you know how to give massages?

Yu Xinghan: My technique is absolutely fine! If you don't believe me, senior sister, you can give it a try!

Li Xuelian: It's not that I don't believe you

Yu Xinghan: Senior sister, give it a try! Just try it and you'll know!

Li Xuelian: No need, I'll arrange it for you.

Yu Xinghan looked at Li Xuelian's rejection of his massage invitation with disappointment, but thinking that he would soon be able to join the dark massage world, he still breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Civil engineering videos or store-visiting videos, though they both have potential, are long-term investments that require a long period of accumulation. It might take one or two years, or three or four years to reap the rewards."

"I have to find some work that can earn spiritual coins in the short term."

And the dark massage world, unlicensed massage, was the solution Yu Xinghan had come up with after possessing the Three-Eyed Divine Ability and visiting stores time and again.

"Relying on my rapidly acquired massage skills, I'll make some quick cash in the dark massage world first, and in the future, if the videos become popular, I'll clean up my act and go ashore."

After practicing his massage techniques on Zhang Yu once again that day, Yu Xinghan set off on his first order according to Li Xuelian's instructions.

The environment of the place was rather crude because the orders arranged for beginners were of poorer quality, being outdoor massages below the 100th floor of the University Town.

Yu Xinghan: "I'm going out to be busy with a job, don't wait for me for anything today."

Looking at Yu Xinghan's departing figure, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "This guy's massage technique is improving so fast, could he have used the Three-Eyed Divine Ability to learn it?"

"Just how many times did he go to the massage parlor?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu also stood up, felt his relaxed physical body, and temporarily left the construction site.

His figure flashed repeatedly, and a moment later he had already jumped into the anti-gravity channel, then darted all the way up to the dormitory floor, returning to his room in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, on the other side, Le Mulan was also hurrying back to her dormitory when she received a message from Zhang Yu in her eye socket.

Zhang Yu: Today, Yu Xinghan is busy with work, and the senior has gone to prepare for a competition with her classmates. Neither will be coming back. Let's make the most of our time.

Le Mulan: Mm, I'll be right there.

Just then, a burly, dark-skinned man blocked Le Mulan's path, smiling broadly as he said, "Student Le, please give me a chance. I promise you won't be disappointed."

As Le Mulan frowned, Xuange stepped in front of her, snorting coldly, "Get lost."

The man retreated a few steps, forcing a bitter smile. "Student Le, just consider it a favor. I can offer one spirit coin..."

Seeing the increasingly chilling glint in Xuange's eyes, the man sighed helplessly and turned away.

Xuange thought to herself, "Le Mulan's mana quality has been improving lately. Her innate ice-based mana has gradually caught the attention of many students, all eager to engage in dual cultivation with her to enhance their own cultivation."

"Once she moves to the Foundation Establishment class next semester, she'll likely attract even more attention, and the number of people wanting to dual cultivate with her will only grow... But..."

Sensing the faint chill emanating from Le Mulan's body, Xuange mused, "They don't know that the man behind Le Mulan is an even better candidate for dual cultivation."

Recalling the rapid improvement in Le Mulan's mana quality over these past days, Xuange couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

"It must all be Zhang Yu's doing."

Watching Le Mulan's figure disappear through the dormitory door, Xuange wore a look of wistful longing. "When will it be my turn to go in..."

Just then, the dormitory door opened again, and Le Mulan poked her head out. "Xuange, could you help me take out the trash?"

"Sure thing!"

Le Mulan turned back and handed Zhang Yu the unpackaged medicine. "This is the discounted supplement you bought from the College of Pharmacy. I brought it along for you."

"The medicine can wait. Let's get started first."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, eagerly sitting behind Le Mulan and placing a palm against her back, channeling his mana into her.

Feeling the steady, unending flow of Zhang Yu's mana, Le Mulan sensed that this time, the transfer was more intense and urgent, and the quantity far exceeded anything before.

After a long while, just as Le Mulan felt she was nearing her limit, Zhang Yu finally withdrew his hand.

Le Mulan couldn't help but ask, "So much... Are you sure it's alright?"
