Chapter 430: Chapter 376: This is sophomore year?

In the Spirit Realm Network.

Many teachers from the Civil Engineering Department are simultaneously watching a series of matches.

This round of elimination matches consists of ten battles happening at the same time, displayed in ten separate windows in front of them.

As their thoughts change, they can observe the battlefield from different angles through live cameras.

At the start of the battle, all eyes were on the two inheritors of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power.

However, this round did not place Da Ba’s Mo Enting and Da Shi’s Xuanliang Tian against each other.

So both of them easily crushed their opponents, leaving nothing noteworthy to watch.

In contrast, the battles between the War Faction and the Peace Faction were more intense and captivating.

Su Yanyang could be seen speeding across the battlefield, with powerful energy blasting furiously, completely tearing apart the opponent’s position.

“Su Yanyang’s mastery of the Six Gates of the Seven Extremes of Civil Engineering is proficient, his power is profound. Looks like he’s going to be in the top seven this time.”

“Once he fully masters the Seven Extremes of Civil Engineering, he can take the military certificate, right? Our Civil Engineering Department will have another student mastering military-level power.”

Meanwhile, in another camera, a young girl transformed into a giant over ten meters tall, barreling forward with three heads and six arms, as if in an unguarded realm.

Each arm held a magic treasure, and every time she used one, words of advertisement floated by.

“Xiao Yun Ji’s transformed Magic Remains must be the latest product, right? Normally maintaining human form for cultivation, but enters combat form when needed.”

“She got six ads from just one competition, the future is limitless.”

“Xiao Yun Ji might get the military certificate sooner than Su Yanyang.”

Just as many teachers were discussing the performances of students in various competitions, one teacher suddenly said, “Huh? This student knows Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force?”

This immediately caught a lot of attention, and they looked towards the match, seeing Zhang Yu using Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, delivering ten strikes in an instant, knocking Cong Na flying.

Lang You Gong’s eyes flickered with surprise: “This kid Zhang Yu, he knows Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force? Ten strikes in an instant, that’s already Level 10, isn’t it?”

Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force, though just below the military-level technique, its performance far surpasses… almost all expert-level techniques.

If this scene had been seen years earlier, many teachers would have apprehended Zhang Yu immediately for using a military-level technique without certification.

But the next moment, watching Zhang Yu deliver another ten strikes instantly, a teacher exclaimed, “Has he already cultivated Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to Level 20?”

“He’s only a sophomore, right? And he’s already cultivated Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to Level 20?”

“And that’s alongside cultivating War Demon Life-Extending Technique to Level 20…”

More teachers turned their attention to the match between Zhang Yu and Ma Xuan.

Seeing Zhang Yu charge into the enemy ranks, alone disrupting their formations, using Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to borrow force, fighting many upperclassmen from the fourth, fifth, and sixth years, the teachers grew more astonished.

Lang You Gong sighed, “What a remarkable martial arts talent; he’s not just using Nine Heavens Cloud Sky Force to borrow force, but also imitating opponents’ moves with Gang Qi, maximizing the power of the opponents’ forces.”

He marveled, “This is truly returning the way to its path, yet it doesn’t involve any infringement on techniques, brilliant indeed.”

Tu Lishan followed with praise, “This is not just martial arts talent, because he’s fighting against many.”

“To accurately imitate others’ moves in the heat of battle is already quite impressive.”

“To mimic the moves of many is even more difficult.”

“And to control the rhythm while mimicking multiple moves, combining them with energy to deal with different opponents, requires a strong mind and incredibly swift thought speed.”

A teacher nodded slightly, checking Zhang Yu’s records, finding he had already mastered the realm of mind-body unity and purchased a mental method to increase thinking speed.

This mental method, of course, was used by Zhang Yu to shield his internal method of Infinite Heart, perfectly timed.

Listening to Lang You Gong and Tu Lishan’s analyses, and considering Zhang Yu’s young sophomore age, everyone felt they were witnessing the rise of another prodigy from the Civil Engineering Department.

Master Jiao Lei thought to himself, “In another five or six years, he might become another Mo Enting.”

“It’s just a pity… he’s on the War Faction’s side.”

As Zhang Yu’s class teacher, Master Jiao Lei always felt conflicted about Zhang Yu’s achievements.

His good performance does reflect well on his role as class teacher.

But as a Peace Faction teacher, he doesn’t want Zhang Yu to become too strong, even surpassing Ji Yuanshu.

At this moment, another Peace Faction teacher, Wei Huai, coldly remarked, “The talent is good indeed, but for someone to charge into enemy lines alone, it’s too reckless and impulsive.”

“This isn’t how a Civil Engineering competition should be played.”

“This kind of approach doesn’t suit Civil Engineering, he might as well go to the Security Department.”

“You’ll see, Ma Xuan is going to finish him.”

…

Ma Xuan indeed grew tired of the chaos in front of him.

He knew he couldn’t allow Zhang Yu to disrupt things any further.

“Cong Na, Ji Yuanshu, I’m taking back the Small Three Harmonies, dealing with Zhang Yu first.”

“You two retreat on your own and don’t let Shi Huaiyu and them hold you back.”

With that, Ma Xuan withdrew his mana, and the distant rolling sands collapsed with a thunderous roar.

As Ma Xuan’s power withdrew, Shi Huaiyu’s Small Three Harmonies dramatically increased in power, rolling waves of sand accelerated towards Ma Xuan’s construction site.

But Ma Xuan didn’t care about those matters; he wanted to completely solve the Zhang Yu trouble before Shi Huaiyu and the others’ offensive arrived.

“Zhang Yu, I admit I was wrong. I underestimated you.”

“I shouldn’t have tried to suppress Shi Huaiyu while conveniently resolving you.”

“If I had abandoned suppressing Shi Huaiyu as soon as you arrived and directly subdued you… there wouldn’t be so many issues.”

While speaking, Ma Xuan initiated the Small Three Harmonies once again. With a foot stomp on the ground, the earth beneath him shook violently.

“Zhang Yu, do you think I haven’t thought of a way to deal with you?”

He then abruptly tore with both hands, causing the ground before him to seem like it was ripped apart by invisible hands, revealing a deep pit.

In an instant, everyone who was just fighting plunged downward.

But soon, layers of sand transformed into stepping boards under Bo Ziran and others’ feet, helping them leap out of the pit.

Zhang Yu launched a palm strike emanating Gang Qi towards the distant rock wall, intending to use it to climb out… only to see a massive shadow covering him.

A giant hand made of sand crashed down mercilessly onto him, like Mount Tai crushing down.

Under this pure might’s oppression, Zhang Yu let out a muffled humph, smashed downwards with a boom.

Following closely, Ma Xuan clapped his palms together, refilling the pit and restoring the ground to its original state, while Zhang Yu’s figure disappeared.

Deep underground, Zhang Yu felt his tiny cavity, his gaze focused: “Planning to keep me suppressed here indefinitely?”

Having exerted himself fully to momentarily suppress Zhang Yu, Ma Xuan continued instructing everyone to fight.

As the sand tsunami, under Shi Huaiyu’s control, approached, Ma Xuan unleashed a palm, stirring up sand all over to counter it.

In the next moment, however, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang slammed left and right, their Gang Qi surging like big hammers and drills, tearing through the sand.

Ma Xuan thought inwardly: “Was the distance too close, was my force lacking?”

“Hmph, Zhang Yu’s delay indeed gave them a chance to get close.”

At this moment, Cong Na and Yang Yan rushed forward, intercepting Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang.

With a collision, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang winced: “These guys’ Magic Remains are so tough, repairing after this fight will cost a lot.”

At this moment, Tian Yang activated the Great Wind Heaven Dust Palm.

Tian Yang thought: “This technique, inspired by construction site dust pollution and dust control work, fits perfectly in this environment.”

Under Tian Yang’s cover, the group advanced again.

Suddenly, a burst of thunder light appeared behind the group.

A ball of intertwined thunder fire Gang Qi shot out like a cannonball from hundreds of meters away, directly targeting Che Yufei.

The one attacking was Ji Yuanshu.

He was surrounded by a whirlwind, moving at supersonic speed behind Shi Huaiyu and the others.

His Magic Remains arms unfolded, connecting external meridians, transforming his arms into tracks, heating Gang Qi while accelerating it with electromagnetic Mana, creating a Gang Qi cannon with a range of over 500 meters.

In this moment of continuous bombardment, balls of thunderous fire Gang Qi kept assailing Shi Huaiyu and co. from behind.

The Six-generation Soul Chasing Eye’s lock ensured Ji Yuanshu’s Gang Qi cannon fired rapidly whenever a target exposed itself, missing no opportunity.

Linked with Ma Xuan online, Ma Xuan kept marking targets, appearing in Ji Yuanshu’s eye remain.

Each time he fired thunder fire Gang Qi cannon, Ma Xuan controlled the sand to disperse, revealing targets behind, enabling Ji Yuanshu’s bombardment to become increasingly unpredictable.

With a loud boom, another thunder fire Gang Qi was dispelled by Xiao Qingxuan’s Dragon-shaped Gang Qi.

Next to him, Shi Huaiyu’s face darkened as he glared ferociously at the distant Ji Yuanshu.

Having Ji Yuanshu roam around their rear, firing from every angle, constantly left them sandwiched in a pincer attack.

Trying to solve Ji Yuanshu first meant dealing with the storm manipulation, withdrawing and maneuvering at triple sonic mobility.

During this, Ji Yuanshu continued bombarding the battlefield.

Coordinating with Ma Xuan’s Small Three Harmonies for control…

Shi Huaiyu and co. were stalled for time due to this.

“More annoying than flies.”

Shi Huaiyu didn’t expect, by throwing Zhang Yu to trouble them, Ji Yuanshu sent over would trouble them instead.

Witnessing this, Ma Xuan thought: “At the same realm, cultivation and combat power aren’t entirely equivalent.”

“Especially as the environment and battlefield situation change, the victor isn’t always the strongest on site.”

“Ji Yuanshu’s ultimate long-range assault will secure my victory in this battle.”

“Keep firing Ji Yuanshu, I’ll ensure your destructiveness flourishes completely.”

Seeing Shi Huaiyu initiate Small Three Harmonies to catch Ji Yuanshu, Ma Xuan quickly coordinated with teammates to attack Che Yufei and others.

As Shi Huaiyu activated Small Three Harmonies to maintain the front, Ji Yuanshu resumed long-range artillery bombardment.

Ma Xuan laughed inwardly: “Whichever side you pick, you’ll only expose your weaknesses.”

Just then, Ma Xuan’s brows furrowed slightly.

He felt the earth beneath his feet vibrate violently.
