CHAPTER 441: CHAPTER 386 INTELLIGENT BUILDINGS

Inside the Spirit Realm Space.

During the competition, each team’s communication group will share the information within the group with judges and teachers, displaying the team’s internal communication process.

At this moment, Zhang Yu’s team is no exception.

Observing Zhang Yu’s speech in the competition group, a teacher said, "It seems Zhang Yu has discovered something."

Another teacher said, "The conversation with the substitute team member should be a kind of probing."

"The Array setup was still rushed; without sufficient big data collection, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Soul Array cannot simulate various situations perfectly, and now they’ve surely discovered the flaw."

Lang You Gong laughed, "I never thought Zhang Yu appears daring and bold, yet he can be as meticulous in his actions."

Wei Huai said, "However, just now Su YanYang’s team should still be fully working, not taking serious action yet. Now Zhang Yu’s team has discovered the flaw, Su YanYang’s team should soon truly showcase the power of intelligent building."

...

In the arena.

Su YanYang’s gaze seems to penetrate multiple layers of barriers, seeing Zhang Yu and the three already stepping into his Array.

But the three, whose every move should be under his observation, suddenly vanished without a trace the next moment.

Now the Soul Cultivator working as the Array Spirit sends a message: They dug tunnels themselves and went underground.

Su YanYang: Useless, how did you let him discover?

Array Spirit Soul Cultivator: We have too few people

Su YanYang: Do you want a bad review?

Seeing the other side close their mouth, Su YanYang slightly shook his head, "The problem with Soul Cultivators is they always like to make excuses. Compared to this, Artifact Spirits seem more obedient."

Su YanYang had the privilege of using high-intelligence Artifact Spirits. In his view, whether it’s obedience, work efficiency, work initiative, or learning ability, they are stronger than most Soul Cultivators.

"But unfortunately, they are too expensive."

Thinking about the price gap between high-intelligence Artifact Spirits and Soul Cultivators, Su YanYang decided to make do with Soul Cultivators for now.

...

Under the sweep of dragon-shaped Gang Qi, mud and soil flew, quickly opening up a half-man-high passage.

Zhang Yu and Tian Yang followed behind Xiao Qingxuan, surprised at how fast the latter was digging.

Zhang Yu exclaimed in amazement, "Isn’t this the Star Sky Rushing Pulse Technique? What martial skills are these that dig the ground so fast?"

Xiao Qingxuan didn’t answer, only thought to himself, "I can’t tell them...this is the tomb-raiding digging technique accumulated by an ancient Golden Core over years of grave robbing."

So Xiao Qingxuan didn’t answer but said, "The opponent has likely set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Soul Array, but within this time span, they’ve arranged it in haste. If we can escape the building’s range, we’ll be unaffected."

"But underground, it’s hard to determine orientation... Zhang Yu, do you think you can sense where the spiritual mechanism is converging?"

Through the observation of his Three-Eyed Divine Power, Zhang Yu could feel the direction of convergence of spiritual mechanisms and marked it in his vision for Xiao Qingxuan to follow.

Xiao Qingxuan thought to himself, "The direction of spiritual mechanisms’ convergence is an important node if not the Array core; if we can cause damage there, it should greatly delay their construction progress."

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu checked on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Soul Array mentioned by the other party, curiously asking, "So just now, it was the Array Spirit pretending to be Shi Huaiyu and Yu Xinghan, sending us messages?"

Having temporarily escaped the influence of the Array, Zhang Yu also reconnected with Shi Huaiyu and others on the other side.

He heard Shi Huaiyu in the competition group say, "They said it was the Array Spirit, but Su YanYang generally uses Soul Cultivators."

"Soul Cultivators?" Zhang Yu questioned, "Soul Cultivators also help in their competition? Then their numbers should not exceed six?"

Shi Huaiyu questioned in confusion, "Do Soul Cultivators count as numbers?"

She felt like Zhang Yu was asking if Artifact Spirits counted as contestants... Isn’t this pure nonsense?

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was silent, realizing that after entering Wanfa University, this seemed the first time he truly felt what position Soul Cultivators held in others’ eyes.

"But this should only be limited to penniless Soul Cultivators," Zhang Yu thought, "Wealthy Soul Cultivators, I guess, are another matter entirely."

...

Su YanYang smiled slightly, "Three little mice."

Although the three began digging after the Array Spirit had lost their trace, Su YanYang’s eyes showed the map of the entire arena.

The map depicted various temperature changes, spiritual mechanism paths, construction progress, Spirit Vein parameters, underground seismic sources, and other data.

These were integrated from various detection methods of their six-person team, allowing a comprehensive display of the arena situation.

At this moment, Su YanYang looked at a fast-moving seismic source on the map, knowing that it should be where Zhang Yu and his team were.

...

Bam!

With sand and soil flying, Zhang Yu’s trio crashed into an underground space.

Just as they appeared, a series of traffic fee notifications floated before them.

"Your account has an overdue balance of 35 spirit coins; service will be suspended in 1 minute. Please recharge immediately to restore usage..."

Tian Yang, looking at this message, slightly froze, feeling his heartbeat slow.

Beside him, Xiao Qingxuan shouted, "We’ve entered the Array again, various Array illusions...do not get addicted!"

...

Feeling the vibrations from the earth, watching the video information sent by the Array Spirit, Su YanYang snorted coldly, "Have they arrived?"

At this moment, the grand Array beneath him seemed to extend his thoughts; Su YanYang struck towards Zhang Yu and his team’s location in the air, then suddenly clenched tightly.

...

The three of them felt as if the ground around them had come alive, turning into a high-strength alloy, closing in on them.

Feeling the terrifying pressure from all directions, Zhang Yu threw a punch, and the resounding dragon roar erupted abruptly.

Just as he was digging his way with Xiao Qingxuan, the latter had already struck him with 20 hits of the Nine Dragon Heavenly Gang Palm.

At this moment, the 20 hits exploded simultaneously, making the air seem to boil, transforming into waves of air currents that swept through the entire underground space, tearing and breaking apart the closing ground.

With one strike and retreat, Zhang Yu and the others re-entered the tunnel, following Xiao Qingxuan as they quickly dug their way out.

Zhang Yu: It seems like he was prepared.

Tian Yang: It’s probably because the sound of our digging was too loud and he detected it.

Xiao Qingxuan: Let’s scatter.

...

Su YanYang looked at the map with several more seismic sources appearing and thought, "Have they scattered?"

"No, it’s not just the three of them scattering, they probably also used human-shaped and dragon-shaped Gang Qi to divert attention."

Being a cautious person, Su YanYang never fought an unprepared battle.

He carefully asked Ma Xuan about the process of their fight and was already very familiar with the techniques of Zhang Yu and the others.

He knew Zhang Yu was good at using a human-shaped Gang Qi technique, with a maximum distance of about sixty meters.

He also knew Xiao Qingxuan excelled at the Nine Dragon Heavenly Gang Palm, with Gang Qi transmitting nearly a hundred meters.

"They are probably using Gang Qi to create distant seismic sources, disrupting my detection."

"So be it."

Su YanYang checked the construction progress: "50% complete?"

He sent a message to his competition group: Pound the stakes.

Simultaneously, in the five corners of the site, each had a corpse injected underground, then fitted with a Spirit Realm connection, infusing spirits from the Spirit Realm.

...

In the Spirit Realm Space.

Jiao Lei’s eyes lit up, "Is this intelligent living stakes? Building manager?"

Wei Huai next to him nodded repeatedly, "It’s more than that, it integrates living stake technology, intelligent building technology, and even blood sacrifice technology."

"If I’m not wrong, those five living stakes might even be transformed original souls."

"This significantly increases the array progress, making the array operation more complete and enhancing the building strength."

Under everyone’s observation, a large amount of spiritual mechanism energy began to converge along the Spirit Vein towards the structures built by Su YanYang and the others, with the Spirit Vein occupancy reaching up to 40% in a short time.

Lang You Gong watched this scene and thought to himself, "Things are getting tough now, what are Zhang Yu and the others going to do?"

"Hmm? Keep scattering?"

"With the enhanced array and building strength, continuing to scatter may make causing damage difficult, right?"

But the next moment, Lang You Gong was slightly surprised, "Eating?"

He saw Zhang Yu open his mouth and swallow a large batch of materials, then quickly operated his power, continually patting his body to digest.

Watching this, Lang You Gong slightly nodded, contemplatively saying, "Eating... truly is a good approach."

"Eating is the best way to hide construction materials, tools, and even workers on a site, it’s almost a necessary skill for every worker."

"If Su YanYang is fighting with large projects, major engineering, and an eye on the big picture."

"Then Zhang Yu is combating through small tactics, small techniques, adopting a worker’s approach."

However, Lang You Gong does not underestimate Zhang Yu’s strategy because he understands that an ant hole can cause the collapse of a thousand-mile dyke. Many large, significant projects are destroyed in this gradual corrosion.

Especially now on the competition field, without a supply of building materials, ’eating’ becomes a very effective way to thwart the opponent’s construction.

"But Zhang Yu can only take a few bites before he has to leave, making the process too slow; what will you do next?"

Soon, Zhang Yu and his group’s action patterns changed again.

Tu Lishan’s gaze flickered, thinking to himself, "Zhang Yu is hiding in the deepest part, focusing on digesting materials. Hmm? Not just digesting, he’s also beginning to process the materials, does he intend to construct something on the spot?"

"Xiao Qingxuan is digging tunnels, establishing a comprehensive underground network, also searching for and marking material storage locations."

"Tian Yang is transporting, moving materials to Zhang Yu for eating and processing."

In Tu Lishan’s eyes, the three seemed to have transformed into a production line, continually picking and converting the building materials on the site to slow down Su YanYang’s team’s construction progress.

A teacher nodded, sighing, "For the three of Zhang Yu to quickly understand the site layout, establish a transportation network, quickly transport, and differentiate materials, eat and process, their civil engineering skills are quite impressive."

Hearing some teachers from the Civil Engineering Department’s analysis, Magnetic Pole True Monarch asked, "So good, does this mean your students are going to win again?"

Director Gao privately messaged: We are going to lose, don’t ask.

Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Oh? Why?

Director Gao: Su YanYang has already won; he’s now aiming to lower the completion level of Zhang Yu and their structures.

Director Gao: With the structural completion low enough, Zhang Yu’s ranking in the top ten will also fall.

Director Gao: Su YanYang’s chances of getting into the top seven increase.

Director Gao: The War Faction’s overall ranking will be slightly lower too.
