Chapter 326: Wang Yin's Dao Heart Shatters

During the time Zhang Yu was cooperating with Tian Yang, thanks to Wang's daily patronage, Zhang Yu had food every day to replenish his essence and nourish his foundation.

Professional technicians massaged him, helping him repair his body and accelerate the recovery of his physical functions after each cultivation session.

"As for the side effects of the masseuses, I have naturally overcome them with my supreme will."

Coupled with a large number of potent elixirs and the rich spiritual energy of the burial ground, his cultivation conditions had never been so good. His cultivation base was improving at a speed far exceeding the past.

"If Wang knew that Tian Yang and I were just putting on an act to swindle his spiritual stones, and that I never left the construction site after work, he would be even more furious, and probably hate me even more deeply!"

Hearing Zhang Yu's statement, Fu Ji said, "After learning the truth, the first one to suffer will probably be himself!"

Zhang Yu was surprised and said, "Himself?"

Fu Ji said, "Hehe, the most important thing to deceive someone is to let them taste the benefits!"

"Only after receiving profits and tasting the benefits will people delve deeply into the scam, sinking deeper and deeper. Even if they know it's a scam, they won't be willing to face it!"

"Wang is a wealthy man. Relying solely on his hatred for you won't be enough to make him so actively involved!"

"I think..." Fu Ji speculated, "It's probably as I guessed before, you have become his inner demon. He needs to use you to mend his flaws and improve his Dao heart!"

"And if he knows the truth, understands that you have not been manipulated by him, but have instead used the resources he invested to cultivate better... then his inner demon will probably worsen, the flaws in his cultivation method will intensify, and his Dao heart may not only fail to recover... it may even regress!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered: "Doesn't that mean... I have an extra card to deal with him?"

Fu Ji said indifferently, "But this card is not only in your hands!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Tian Yang... and his friend from Youming University? Could it be that people from Youming University are digging a pit for Wang?"

Lacking sufficient information, Zhang Yu's understanding of the whole matter was still like a blind man feeling an elephant, unable to grasp the full picture!

He decided to put aside these distracting thoughts and continue to focus on his cultivation. After all, grades, rankings, and cultivation base were his means of establishing himself in the Myriad Dharma University!

He took a deep breath and began to circulate his breathing technique once again!

In the following days, Zhang Yu cultivated, worked, attended online classes, ate meals, got massages, occasionally spent spiritual coins on various cultivation services, and also took the time to help Yu Xinghan and Yue Mulan with their cultivation!

Every day, he felt that 24 hours was simply not enough, and he wished he could split himself into several clones!

And under these circumstances, his cultivation base was also advancing by leaps and bounds!

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed. This day, Zhang Yu was cultivating at the construction site as usual!

His Dao heart had now reached level 14 (25.3).

Feeling his increasingly firm will, and the white bull in his mind, stepping through the rolling black mud, holding its head higher and higher, Zhang Yu thought, "After level 15 Dao heart, I can try to circulate the second cultivation method!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't tested for compatibility yet!"

"I wonder what cultivation method is most suitable for me, and for the Crippled Bull Sacrificing Heart Technique?"

At the same time, the flow of mana in Zhang Yu's body became more and more turbulent. His mana had reached 610.9, and the quality of his mana had reached 165!

With a wave of his hand, Gang Qi poured out, turning into a sea of clouds, stirring up vortexes, twisting steel bars, disassembling debris, or cleaning up garbage...

But at the next moment, Zhang Yu's flesh suddenly trembled, and he felt as if his body, mana, and Gang Qi were perfectly integrated!

"My physical strength has broken through to level 15!"

Although Zhang Yu's main cultivation goal during this time was breathing techniques, he would still take the time to exercise his physical strength whenever he had the chance!

Especially with daily meals and massages, plus the daily 30x gravity reinforcement of the Nine Hells Suppressing Mountain Belt...

His physical strength had finally reached level 15!

"Just like what the Friend of Wolves Technique said..."

Zhang Yu flicked his finger, and saw Gang Qi ripple out like water waves, transmitting the power of his flick far away, eventually colliding with the wall more than ten meters away, making a soft pop!

As his physical strength reached level 15, Zhang Yu could feel that his mana and body were becoming more and more integrated, and Gang Qi seemed to have become an extension of his body!

The power of his every punch and kick was transmitted far away under the transmission of Gang Qi!

Afterwards, he did some measurements in the teaching area. His Gang Qi conductivity was 35, and the farthest transmission distance of Gang Qi was 38 meters!

In other words, through martial arts Gang Qi, with one punch, he could transmit a maximum of 35% of the power!

And this 35% of the power would ripple out along the Gang Qi, and could be transmitted up to 38 meters away!

Beyond 38 meters, the power transmitted by Gang Qi would decay rapidly!

"Improving Gang Qi conductivity and the farthest transmission distance is related to my mana level, mana quality, physical strength, and martial arts skills!"

Zhang Yu thought, "I need to improve in all aspects, take it slow!"

Zhang Yu spread his five fingers, exerted a slight force, and the Nameless Cloud Gang formed the shape of his palm more than ten meters away, gently grabbing a piece of brick!

Gang Qi had become like his new hands and feet, able to transmit power at his will!

"This makes working even more convenient!"

In addition to the improvement in strength, Zhang Yu's biggest gain during this time was spiritual coins!

Although he had spent a lot, the spiritual coins sent by Tian Yang had still continuously increased his balance!

Especially after the last time he acted out the scene of applying for overtime and failing, Tian Yang and Wang traded a magical treasure produced by Netherworld University. Afterwards, Tian Yang gave Zhang Yu a full 22.5 spiritual coins at half the market price!

This made Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh from time to time: "Wang is really a fat sheep, this one person supports so many people, so many positions!"

Zhang Yu's spiritual coin balance had also increased to more than 29.1!

As for how to spend this spiritual coin next, because there were too many places to spend it, Zhang Yu hadn't figured it out yet. Just then, two figures walked over excitedly!

Yu Xinghan: "Brother."

Li Xiao: "Brother Yu."

Yu Xinghan couldn't wait to say, "Let's go, let's go, it's time for a massage!"

Although Li Xiao didn't speak, he was also looking at Zhang Yu expectantly!These past few days, relying on the King's extravagant spending, not only was Zhang Yu able to enjoy daily massages from numerous technicians, but even Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao could occasionally snag a free technician when Zhang Yu wasn't fully booked. After all, the King was footing the bill!

Zhang Yu brought up Tian Yang's avatar in his eye socket and said, "It seems things haven't been arranged over there yet!"

These days, Tian Yang had been making all the massage arrangements before notifying him when to go.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xinghan felt a slight disappointment. His third eye swiveled, and he thought, "Alas, I've almost mastered all the techniques of these masseuses. Could it be that there's no arrangement today?"

Through his third eye's imitation ability, Yu Xinghan had been secretly learning the massage techniques of the technicians!

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Tian Yang: The situation might be exposed... Netherworld University!

The King watched the video displayed in his eye socket, his face growing increasingly gloomy!

In the video, Zhang Yu was seen eating heartily, devouring bowls of celestial rice and platters of dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder!

After finishing five bowls of rice and three platters of meat, Zhang Yu showed no signs of fatigue, displaying an astonishing digestive capacity!

The video the King was watching was taken not long ago, during the banquet hosted by Ye Xingli, when Zhang Yu was recorded eating and drinking!

Watching Zhang Yu's unblushing and unpanting appearance in the video, the King mused, "Heh, so this is the true extent of this fellow's appetite?"

Besides this, more information about Zhang Yu's recent activities surfaced before him!

"Tian Yang... Zhang Yu..."

The King gritted his teeth, "Playing me for a fool?!"

The thought that he, so immensely wealthy, had been so thoroughly tricked, his money not only failing to manipulate Zhang Yu but actually aiding his cultivation, caused the King's anger to erupt like a volcanic eruption!

As his anger flared, the King felt the *Emperor's Heart* mental cultivation technique in his mind almost cease functioning. His Dao Heart, which had already recovered to level 16, was now teetering on the brink of collapse!

His face alternating between green and white, the King felt his internal power and flesh become chaotic, and a stabbing pain came from his organs...

He spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his Dao Heart regressed to level 15, with the trend of further regression continuing!

"Damn it! That beast Tian Yang, actually colluded with Zhang Yu to deceive me?"

"And Mo Xingzi, he was the one who introduced Tian Yang to me. He deliberately set a trap to ruin my Dao Heart!"

The King knew that at times like these, he shouldn't overthink, but he couldn't help it. Those thoughts were constantly flashing in his mind!

The thought of being played for a fool, and Zhang Yu's secret delight these past few days, made the King feel his Dao Heart grow increasingly unstable, and his internal power was at risk of further loss of control!

But just then, a woman's voice entered his ears: "My son, there is no need to dwell on it, I had Mo Xingzi do this!"

"Mom?" The King was slightly stunned, both shocked and angry, and confused, "You had Mo Xingzi deceive me?"

The woman said calmly, "I simply had him point out the flaws in your heart, but I didn't expect he could actually find Zhang Yu to provoke you!"

Without giving the King a chance to speak, the woman continued quickly, "My son, since you were born, you have always been successful, and later you cultivated the *Emperor's Heart* mental cultivation technique! I have always worried about one thing!"

"This mental cultivation technique, after all, originates from the mental methods practiced by the emperors of ancient dynasties. Success comes with the flow, failure comes against it. But in life, even immortals have times when things don't go as planned, let alone us?"

"As the saying goes, human effort has its limits. Even if you hold countless riches, you will eventually fail."

"The key is not to avoid failure, but to know how to get up from failure!"

"This time, Zhang Yu, who defeated you, is a poor wretch. You can use money to take revenge, but what if the next one who defeats you is richer and more powerful than you?"

The King murmured, "Mom, you want me to change my thinking and fix the flaws in my heart myself?"

"Correct!" The woman said calmly, "Mental cultivation techniques are meant to aid cultivators, not to hold them hostage!"

"You must control the mental cultivation technique, not be bound by its ideology!"

The King still found it hard to let go, gritting his teeth and saying, "But Zhang Yu..."

The woman said calmly, "That ant-like thing, Zhang Yu, is destined to scrounge for food on construction sites. From beginning to end, he's just someone else's blade! Think carefully, what is ruining your grand plans? Is it this blade? Or the person wielding it?"

"Zhang Yu, I don't care about him at all!"

"Compared to him, I value the flaws in your heart more!"

"Although your Dao Heart regressed this time, it also completely exposed the flaws in your heart. This is the best opportunity for you to improve your thinking and mend the flaws in your heart. If you can't mend it, you'll never achieve Golden Core in your lifetime, proving that you're nothing special, and there's no need to waste spiritual coins anymore."

"If you can mend it, I will arrange a mentor for you, and you can prepare well for the graduate entrance exam next year!"

"In the future, when you break through to the Golden Core and strike for the Nascent Soul, looking back at this mere Zhang Yu, he will already be a skeleton in a grave!"

Ever since he found out that the news was exposed, Zhang Yu had been cautious, wary of the King's potential revenge!

But in the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and as May approached, Zhang Yu felt that everything was calm, as if nothing had happened!

At the same time, his sixth breathing technique was finally completed, and the *Qi Channel Elongation* was activated to the first level effect!
