CHAPTER 534: CHAPTER 477: DRAGONS CAN RISE FROM CIVIL ENGINEERING TOO

Beside the venue of the civil engineering competition.

Unlike the audience in the Spirit Realm, at this moment, the audience seats specially prepared for the real world were almost vacant.

After all, even if someone genuinely wanted to watch the battle, most would watch directly from the Spirit Realm. It’s rare for someone to actually attend in person, physically watching the competition.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen stood all alone at the highest point of the stands, watching the competition on the field.

However, Bai Zhenzhen had activated her divine Spirit Root’s power, making herself like a mass of air, unnoticed by anyone.

The hidden ability of possessing a divine Spirit Root always allowed her to avoid people she didn’t want to meet and things she didn’t want to encounter, making herself disappear from the world.

However, the divine Spirit Root could only hide her alone; it couldn’t make Zhang Yu disappear with her, which was why she hadn’t used this trick to transfer the divine Spirit Root earlier.

After all, hiding herself alone would only be more suspicious, attracting doubts.

Especially if the divine Spirit Root was transferred and Zhang Yu couldn’t control it immediately, it might suddenly reveal itself.

Although Zhang Yu also had a divine Spirit Root, on one hand, he wasn’t adept at hiding abilities. On the other hand, during the exchange of Spirit Roots, the intense stimulation would make it uncontrollable. Therefore, he never thought of relying on the hiding ability to arbitrarily exchange Spirit Roots; the risk was too great.

If someone were spying on them at that moment, it would lead to the worst situation.

On the field, the continuous rumble of thunder echoed incessantly.

A stream of meteor-like firelight shot towards Zhang Yu like raindrops, shattering layers of the atmosphere with thunderous roars.

Meanwhile, in Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, the message of the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch emerged.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Watching Zhang Yu’s competition?

Bai Zhenzhen: Yes

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: The gap between you two is widening.

On the field, Zhang Yu suddenly activated the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, and the tumultuous Earth Evil Gravity, like a black hole, deflected the meteors, crashing them onto the ground.

Bai Zhenzhen: Zhang Yu has already mastered military-level techniques; he is catching up to me step by step.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: But he’s in the Civil Engineering Department and mastering the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power means he’s already rooted in this field and can’t leave the construction site.

Bai Zhenzhen: Even from the Civil Engineering Department, a dragon can emerge.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Perhaps.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: But by then, would Zhang Yu still be the Zhang Yu you know?

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Did he tell you about participating in the yin artifact experiment to upgrade his cultivation technique?

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: I’m not an anti-dual cultivation old-fashioned person.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Dual cultivation broadens the boundary of a person’s Immortal Path, enhancing its foundation, which is beneficial for most cultivators.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: But when someone starts enjoying the benefits of dual cultivation, begins to manipulate their desires and emotions, and becomes stronger during this process, they will no longer cherish these things.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Now he has become a guinea pig for the yin artifact experiment and reaped considerable benefits, gradually transforming into another kind of person. Emotions and dual cultivation are merely tools and resources for his cultivation, unsuitable for someone practicing Extreme Emotion Sword Dao like you.

Bai Zhenzhen: I trust Zhang Yu.

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: The poor cannot withstand tests.

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t reply, but her mind involuntarily reflected the scene she saw today of Zhang Yu conversing with Wen Wuya.

If it had been the Zhang Yu of the past, he would have decisively rejected Wen Wuya without the slightest hesitation, right?

Is it because he participated in the yin artifact experiment, gained benefits, and thus changed?

And even today while being with her, did it seem Zhang Yu was also impatient to... want to transfer her divine Spirit Root?

Finally getting her to watch the competition seemed to be part of a plan to transfer her Spirit Root...

Thinking of this, Bai Zhenzhen’s expression suddenly shifted, wondering if Zhang Yu had really changed. Was he no longer the same as he was in high school?

Seven Emotions Divine Monarch: Whether Zhang Yu ends up building bridges or roads, it doesn’t matter to me. I just don’t want your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to suffer backlash, wasting your precious time.

Bai Zhenzhen didn’t speak, only moved her gaze, continuing to watch the direction of the arena.

Then, meteors stormed the sky, covering most of the arena.

...

Gazing at the scene that covered the sky, like a meteor shower cleansing the ground, Zhang Yu took a deep breath. His palm imprints changed, and patches of Earth Evil Gravity congealed like clusters, resembling black holes rising into the sky, devouring the descending meteors.

Heavenly Star Ten Aspects - Stellar Bind

On the other side, as large mountain bodies floated in the air, they seemed to form an aerial fortress, layering upon each other to protect the construction site of Sky Sword University.

Yue Guanqiong stood proudly atop the mountain peak, and with a flick of his fingertip, the Infinite Imprisonment Sword Qi had already infused into the massive stones, crashing down like meteors, crossing the sky and covering the location of Wanfa University.

"As my assault escalates."

"How long can you withstand?"

Only a soft chuckle could be heard from Yue Guanqiong, as the flying swords behind him levitated silently, ready for action.

...

In the Spirit Realm audience seats.

Wan Gou Xuan from the Immortal Soldier University was watching the arena below intently.

He thought to himself, "The Supreme Hell Sword Qi of Sky Sword University can attach to anything, transforming grass, wood, bamboo, stone, soil, and gravel all into flying swords for long-range construction, and its sharp Sword Qi can even shatter mountains and rocks."

"High efficiency in construction, adaptable to almost all environments, no requirements on tools, low cost of construction...it is indeed a top-notch large-scale civil engineering cultivation technique."

Thinking of this, Wan Gou Xuan lamented, "Zhang Yu from Wanfa University is being thoroughly suppressed."

"Zhang Yu has to expend more energy defending against the flying sword attacks of Yue Guanqiong, not to mention Yue Guanqiong’s strength is inherently greater than Zhang Yu’s."

"Were it not for some sinister device experiment propelling his technique to Level 16, the situation would be even worse."

At this point, a hint of jealousy passed through Wan Gou Xuan’s mind. How long did it take him to cultivate a military-level technique from Level 10 to 16? Yet Zhang Yu accomplished such a leap in such a short time? How could he not envy?

But Wan Gou Xuan took comfort in the fact that this leap ultimately wouldn’t let Zhang Yu catch up with Yue Guanqiong.

Wan Gou Xuan commented, "Now for Zhang Yu to win, he has to break through forward, staying in place will only result in losing the match."

Beside Wan Gou Xuan, Xiang Shan from Sky Demon University curled his elephant’s trunk, speaking calmly, "Didn’t you notice Zhang Yu fended off all of Yue Guanqiong’s attacks?"

"All the attacks?" Wan Gou Xuan was slightly taken aback and asked, "He blocked all the flying swords shot out by Yue Guanqiong?"

Xiang Shan replied, "It’s to cover for his teammates because he has no other choice."

"If the construction site of Sky Sword University was on the ground, Zhang Yu could tunnel his way over and with the might of Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, cause collapse all around Sky Sword University."

"But the construction site of Sky Sword University is in the sky, which significantly reduces the threat of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, and Yue Guanqiong can strike at Wanfa University’s site at any time."

"Because the attack range of the Supreme Hell Sword Qi far exceeds that of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, Yue Guanqiong can threaten everyone at Wanfa University from a distance well beyond Zhang Yu’s attacking range."

Xiang Shan analyzed, "The cultivation technique is restrained, the cultivation level is suppressed, and tactics are thoroughly countered, Zhang Yu’s only choice is to protect his teammates, allowing them to quickly complete the array, and through the power of the array, find a way to turn the tide."

"So, coming up, it’s just a matter of seeing how long he can hold under Yue Guanqiong’s assault."

Watching the shooting stars being accurately caught by Zhang Yu one by one, crashing down to earth, Xiang Shan praised, "Zhang Yu’s martial arts talent is indeed astonishing."

"Whether it’s control, activation speed, or activation range...the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power is being executed by him with all its potential might, perfectly capturing every move of Yue Guanqiong."

"But Yue Guanqiong is far from going all out."

At this point, Wan Gou couldn’t help but question, "Why is Yue Guanqiong using ordinary materials for attacks? If he could just use flying swords."

Xiang Shan replied, "It’s because of Mo Enting."

This Elephant Demon from Sky Demon University slowly said, "He’s concerned that defeating Zhang Yu too early would lead Mo Enting to buy his way back on the field, so he’s stalling for time, increasing the stakes bit by bit to allow his teammates more time to build the array and set up defensive structures."

Soon, Sword Qi soared from the sky fortress of Sky Sword University.

Xiang Shan’s eyes moved, "Yue Guanqiong’s attack is going to intensify."

...

Like magic treasures, flying swords can also be classified as teaching-level, professional-level, enterprise-level, and above that, military-level and Immortal Sect-level.

At this moment, a series of teaching-level flying swords were poised for action before Yue Guanqiong.

If Zhang Yu was closer, he would find these flying swords were the temporary ones rented by Su YanYang and others.

It’s not that Yue Guanqiong doesn’t want to use better flying swords, but teaching-level flying swords provide better cost-effectiveness, and using them is more assured.

Looking towards Zhang Yu’s position, Yue Guanqiong uttered calmly, "The little fuss is over now."

With the activation of the Supreme Hell Sword Qi, the temporary flying swords shot skyward with a swoosh, churning airwaves and thunderclaps, sweeping towards Zhang Yu several times the speed of sound.

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu’s gaze sharpened, "Is it coming? The real flying sword attack."

Almost the instant the sword shadows still hovered above the sky fortress, they were already within a hundred meters of Zhang Yu.

Amidst the roaring thunder, the Thunder Suppression Seal fired continuously, streams of lightning shot forth, repeatedly deflecting the stabs of the flying swords.

Simultaneously, the Earth Suppression Seal also activated, forming an aura around Zhang Yu, further hindering the piercing of the flying swords.

But under the dazzling lightning, the deflected flying swords swerved beautifully, like fish in water, adjusting direction to continue their assault on Zhang Yu.

The flying swords burst forth with sharp Sword Qi, tearing through the aura of the Earth Suppression Seal, continuing their slashes towards Zhang Yu’s position.

The protective magic treasures, though not entirely thwarting the flying sword’s assault, provided Zhang Yu with more room to react, allowing him to successfully unleash the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, grappling the flying swords in front of him.

With a thunderous explosion, a flying sword shattered under the suppression of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, turning into countless fragments across the sky.

But before the soul cultivators working for Zhang Yu could rejoice, each fragment immediately emitted a sharp aura as if one flying sword had turned into dozens or hundreds of flying swords, continuing to assault Zhang Yu.

Watching this scene, Mo Enting commented in the competition group: You see, this was how it got damaged last year.
