CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 387: FINAL OFFENSIVE

Amidst the fierce battles on the competition field.

Within the competition group, Zhang Yu and Shi Huaiyu, among others, did not cease their exchange regarding the current situation.

Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu, you’ve indeed slowed down their progress

Shi Huaiyu: But Su Yanyang’s construction ability is too strong, the Spirit Vein proportion has exceeded 50%

Che Yufei: Then why hasn’t he launched an offensive yet?

Shi Huaiyu: With Su Yanyang’s personality, he will likely store up Array power and strike at the very last moment of the competition, unleashing a world-shattering assault

Shi Huaiyu: This way, causing us maximum damage while leaving us no time to repair

Xiao Qingxuan: He probably wants to push our final completion rate down to 20%, or even below 10%

Xiao Qingxuan: After all, the result of this battle can indirectly determine the top seven positions

Upon hearing Xiao Qingxuan’s words in the group, Yu Xinghan felt somewhat puzzled and turned to Ying Xin, who was also sitting on the bench.

Ying Xin explained, "Among the top ten, the strongest are undoubtedly Mo Enting’s and Xuanliang Tian’s teams, after all, they possess the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, and their teammates are each more formidable than the other."

"But the opponents of these two teams are miserable, their results in this match will probably be at the bottom."

"Among the remaining competing teams, the one with the greatest disparity in overall strength should be our team and Su Yanyang’s team."

"If our completion rate is pushed below 20, it’s highly likely that we’ll end up in the bottom three, along with the opponents of Mo Enting and Xuanliang Tian."

Yu Xinghan suddenly realized: "I see, once the bottom three positions are determined, the remaining automatically become the top seven, and Su Yanyang’s team can ensure they win the Seven Extremes of Civil Engineering reward."

Ying Xin nodded: "So, Su Yanyang will definitely do his utmost to suppress us."

As for Ying Xin’s words, some of the regular team members had figured it out long ago, or were reminded during the competition.

Everyone knew that Su Yanyang was operating the Array, absorbing Spiritual Mechanism, constantly accumulating strength, like a tightly wound spring, storing up a final, strongest attack.

Naturally, Zhang Yu and his team wouldn’t sit idly by; they were also preparing their defenses.

When the match came to the last three minutes, the entire arena suddenly started to tremble.

Shi Huaiyu felt the tremor of the simulated Spirit Vein underground, his gaze suddenly sharpening: "It’s coming!"

At the same time, the earth surged like roaring waves, and Su Yanyang floated at the crest, standing in the air with the aid of Magic Remains, at the forefront and peak of the rolling mud waves.

At this moment, he had completely mastered the power of the entire great Array, the surging Spiritual Mechanism accumulated within burst forth at his will, the Spirit Vein underground slowly mobilized at his command, and the terrain gradually changed according to his thoughts.

He aimed to completely crush the fortress constructed by the opponent, reducing the completion rate below 10%, thus solidifying his position in the top seven.

"Shi Huaiyu, Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan..."

Su Yanyang looked towards the direction of the opponent’s construction site, coldly saying: "Your defeat today is not a loss to me, but to the new technology of intelligent buildings and financial innovation."

"Your defeat is a loss in technology, a defeat of outdated concepts."

Zhang Yu’s figure flickered, speeding towards the construction site direction while thinking to himself: "This guy... knows many teachers are watching this match, so he deliberately said this."

...

In the Spirit Realm Space.

Immediately, a teacher nodded in agreement: "Su Yanyang is right, interdisciplinary reference, empowering traditional industries with intelligent technology, information technology, and financial technology is the way to rejuvenate new vitality."

Wei Huai also nodded repeatedly: "Without financial innovation as funding support, without intelligent technology as a reserve, how can intelligent buildings be well-established? How can a new generation of civil engineering reform be achieved?"

Listening to the Peace Faction and Neutral Faction teachers praising each other, Tu Lishan secretly sneered.

He knew that when Ling Yue True Monarch, as a member of the Neutral Faction, was more involved in the past, he had been promoting collaboration between the Civil Engineering Department and the Talisman Department, advocating for intelligent buildings, intelligent factories, and smart cities, aiming for city transformation from the 2nd to 6th, even the 7th to 10th levels.

However, after Ling Yue True Monarch became preoccupied with lifespan issues, he paid less attention to these matters.

Although the school offers related courses, there are very few applied projects.

Meanwhile, the Finance Department and the Talisman Department have always had extensive cooperation, coming up with numerous financial innovations and Spirit Realm finance projects every year.

"Could it be that after the Peace Faction and the Neutral Faction got together, they also brought in the Talisman Department to stir things up? Are they planning to continue promoting intelligent buildings with the Neutral Faction?"

Thinking of this, Tu Lishan couldn’t help but frown, looking at the showdown between Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang as if seeing the War Faction fighting against the Neutral Faction and Peace Faction alone.

And at this moment, Su Yanyang, who had been poised to attack, suddenly stopped.

A teacher exclaimed: "Why stop? Did something malfunction?"

Another teacher remarked in surprise: "Did the Array overload?"

Ling Yue True Monarch said calmly: "No problem, intelligent buildings have a self-check capability, they’ll soon figure out the issue."

In the competition scene, Su YanYang also found the issue based on the building’s self-inspection; it turned out many spiritual mechanism circuits were malfunctioning.

Lang You Gong used the playback function, his eyes moved as he said, "Ha, it turns out Zhang Yu digested the materials, then spat out high-strength digestion residue, which Tian Yang used to block some of the crucial positions in the spiritual mechanism circuit."

"There’s no problem during normal operation, but full operation risks malfunctioning."

Seeing Zhang Yu’s digestion residue all over Su YanYang’s construction site, many teachers thought: This kid can really eat... In the future, if he comes to my site, I’ll definitely monitor him at all times.

Wei Huai shook his head, "Just delaying for a moment, it’s not significant."

Before long, after directing some repairs during the building’s self-inspection, Su YanYang found there were only two minutes left until the competition ended.

...

Although interrupted, Su YanYang’s face showed no trace of emotion, he continued his previous actions.

He raised both hands, and accompanied by a violent pull of the Spirit Vein, the entire competition arena shook intensely.

The terrifying shockwave, using the earth as a medium, conducted from the Spirit Vein towards Zhang Yu’s fortress.

Where it passed, the ground cracked, dust and sand flew, and it seemed everything in the arena would be flattened, while the fortress built by Zhang Yu and his team trembled violently.

Inside and outside the fortress, Zhang Yu and his team flew around, Gang Qi rolling, trying their best to stabilize the structure.

...

Within the Spirit Realm Space.

Lang You Gong nodded slightly, "Part of the high-strength materials Zhang Yu created were transported by Tian Yang to reinforce the fortress."

"They also used blood sacrifice, adding ashes to increase the strength."

"And with them repairing here and there, this wave of shock likely won’t destroy the fortress."

Wei Huai said calmly, "This is just Su YanYang’s prelude."

Twenty seconds later, as the intense shaking eased, there were 100 seconds left until the end of the competition.

And Su YanYang’s real offensive arrived.

With the pull of the Spirit Vein causing terrain changes, vast amounts of mud and sand transformed into torrential turbid flows, roaring and surging towards the fortress, with a force like heaven and earth collapsing, aiming to swallow Zhang Yu and his team along with their fortress.

From afar, it looked as if black dragons were baring their fangs, clawing towards the fortress,

With loud shouts, Zhang Yu and his five companions each had muscles bulging, stretching and pulling bones, instantly transforming into giants ranging from six or seven meters to more than ten meters tall.

As giants, they rolled out streams of Gang Qi, blasting at the incoming turbid flows.

Under their protection, the mudslide’s offensive was forcibly weakened, but residual waves hitting the fortress still caused bouts of shaking.

Wei Huai said, "They are all consuming a lot of Mana, and continuing to be impacted like this, they won’t last much longer."

Seeing everyone’s strength constantly depleted, some mudslides already unable to be blocked, causing the fortress to shake more violently, Che Yufei’s figure shrank, his aura rapidly dropping, as he drilled into the fortress.

Lang You Gong’s eyes moved as he said, "Fake Death Stake? Putting oneself in a fake death state temporarily to substitute the function of a living stake, used to reinforce the structure."

The teachers nearby, although slightly raising eyebrows, didn’t comment much.

Tu Lishan understood that the fake death stake is where some workers with weaker life force temporarily replace living stakes on construction sites, used for temporary quality inspection. It’s knowledge not taught in the Civil Engineering Department textbooks, and what teachers tacitly do not mention.

Despite everyone’s joint efforts in resisting, under the onslaught of an overwhelming mudslide, the three-tier fortress was soon submerged one and a half levels.

Seeing this, Su YanYang said coldly, "Look at what means you’re using?"

"Stealing materials, eating materials, randomly pulling and spitting things out on my site, now even using fake stakes like this."

"With these low methods... you want to resist me?"

"No funding, no technology, relying on some outdated little tricks, you think you can resist the latest intelligent building technology?"

Listening to Su YanYang’s speech, many teachers in the Spirit Realm Space who were not from the War Faction nodded repeatedly.

With 60 seconds left, Su YanYang launched the next wave of offensive.

With the change in terrain, the underground structure on which the fortress stood also changed drastically.

With a bang, massive pits began appearing around the fortress; the ground was beginning to collapse.

Shi Huaiyu shouted angrily, "Rise!"

As the Small Three Harmonies activated, mud and sand surged and loosened, disengaging from the fortress’s foundations.

Simultaneously, Shi Huaiyu and Zhang Yu activated the Xuanhuang Sealing Mountain Seal, injecting Mysterious Yellow Qi into the fortress, constantly lightening various materials within.

Then, with everyone exerting force together, they forcefully lifted the entire fortress.
