Chapter 326 Dao Heart and Inner Demons

Seeing the figure rushing towards him, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned around. His formless cloud energy surged out, slamming out with spirals.

With a loud bang and a clash of their internal energies, Zhang Yu staggered back several steps, looking at his opponent with a grave expression: "It's you?"

The person who appeared in front of Zhang Yu at this moment and suddenly attacked him was Tian Yang, who was leading the team.

As Zhang Yu felt the surging magical power and blood energy within his body after the collision, he frowned slightly and thought to himself, "My task was assigned by Tian Yang."

"This area is quite remote, and I was the only one who came, and it just so happens to be a blind spot for surveillance cameras... Did he plan this in advance?"

"Did you deliberately wait for me to be alone before attacking me?"

While Zhang Yu's mind raced, Tian Yang said calmly, "President Wang asked me to give you his regards."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu was startled: "It's Wang Yin?"

He remembered Mr. Wang from the Oasis Group, the wealthy man who had fought him multiple times on the first floor and who had even sent people to retaliate in the end.

At the same time, Tian Yang's offensive came down like a storm without stopping, one fierce attack after another, seemingly trying to crush Zhang Yu within a few moves.

The combat martial art he was using at the moment was called the Great Wind Dust Palm, a technique derived from the dust pollution, particulate matter pollution, and dust control work at construction sites.

At this moment, as he made his move, his martial arts energy resembled rolling dust, unpredictable and ever-changing, striking Zhang Yu from incredible angles, just like the overwhelming, all-pervasive dust pollution at a construction site, threatening to completely engulf Zhang Yu.

This Great Wind Dust Palm technique is inherently difficult to deal with because it combines illusion and reality and is ever-changing. However, when facing an opponent weaker than oneself, it can gain an absolute advantage and manipulate the opponent at will.

Tian Yang thought the same thing before he made his move.

"Zhang Yu shouldn't be able to withstand 10 of my moves."

But now, as the battle reached its 15th move, Tian Yang was increasingly surprised.

With the combined power of the Time-Remnant Demon Eye and the Three-Eyed Divine Ability, Zhang Yu could see Tian Yang's every move clearly.

But simply recognizing the moves isn't enough, since Zhang Yu is just a hardworking college student who doesn't have much experience in fighting.

Even with Zhang Yu's practical experience and martial arts skills, it would be difficult for him to figure out a way to counter Tian Yang's moves in an instant.

But he doesn't need to crack it.

After entering Wanfa University City, Zhang Yu had an idea in his mind, which was... At this stage, fighting skills were not as important to him as work skills, but in a place like Kunxu, he still needed to have a skill to protect himself.

However, in the midst of constant training, he simply didn't have any extra time to hone his combat skills.

Until he acquired the Three-Eyed Divine Power... Zhang Yu found a new solution to combat, a method that didn't require him to invest too much time and energy at this stage, allowing him to quickly build up combat power.

He called it the "55/55 strategy," meaning that it can be evenly matched with anyone.

At this moment, Zhang Yu roared and activated the Battle Demon Life-Destroying Technique, greatly increasing the strength of his physical body.

At the same time, the Three-Eyed Divine Power's imitation ability was also activated at full strength, targeting Tian Yang right in front of him.

Thus, to Tian Yang's astonishment, Zhang Yu seemed to become another version of himself in the mirror, repeatedly clashing head-on with him using the same tactics.

Even so, Tian Yang was confident that his cultivation level was enough to surpass his opponent in strength, and he crushed his opponent with each palm strike.

However, Zhang Yu's Formless Cloud Qi was already incredibly profound in deflecting force. Combined with the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force's borrowing force to strike back, the various resistances brought by the Earth and Wood Sacred Body, the bones strengthened by the No. 20 Secret Steel, and the body activation brought by the Remnant Ox Body-Slaying Technique...

All of this allowed Zhang Yu to demonstrate terrifying resilience in this head-on battle where the same moves clashed.

Tian Yang is now experiencing this resilience firsthand.

At first, he thought the other person was imitating his martial arts.

"He's learned the Great Wind Dust Palm?"

"Or did you take advantage of your superior talent to secretly learn martial arts right in front of me?"

But soon he discovered that Zhang Yu's moves were the same as his, but the circulation of his internal magic power and qi was completely different.

The opponent's internal energy primarily focuses on deflecting and neutralizing force, and using the opponent's force against them.

"Not stealing my martial arts, just imitating my movements? But this guy is incredibly resilient!"

Tian Yang looked at Zhang Yu, who was full of energy and showed no signs of weakness. He felt the incredibly hardness of Zhang Yu's hands and the feeling of his palms hitting him one after another as if they were sinking into the sea. The more he hit Zhang Yu, the more nauseous he felt.

"This kid is way too damn muscular."

"Hitting him is more tiring than working overtime on a construction site in the field."

"Who the hell designed this combat system for him? Isn't it just plain disgusting?"

"Never mind, that's about enough..."

Thinking of this, Tian Yang rolled his eyes, stomped on the ground, and his whole body flashed dozens of meters away, leaving a series of afterimages.

"Alright, that's enough, let's stop fighting."

Tian Yang waved his hand, a strange look appearing in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yu: "As expected of the freshman that Director Gao values, your physique is absolutely unmatched when it comes to working overtime on the construction site."

Zhang Yu looked at Tian Yang, who had stopped, with some surprise: "Weren't you invited by Wang Yin to take revenge on me?"

Tian Yang laughed and said, "I have a friend at Youming University. I heard from him that Wang Yin really wants to find someone to teach you a lesson."

At this point, Tian Yang thought to himself, "However, my friend here doesn't intend to help Wang Yin."

Tian Yang said righteously, "We are both from Wanfa University, both from the Civil Engineering Department, and both under Director Gao. How could I possibly help an outsider to deal with you for some benefit?"

"I'm quite interested in using the excuse of teaching you a lesson to ask Wang Yin for some benefits."

"I just came to record a combat video with you."

"Because I was worried that your acting was too bad, I launched a surprise attack." Thinking of this, Tian Yang shook his head. He originally wanted to casually make a few moves to force Zhang Yu into a dangerous situation, but he did not expect Zhang Yu to be too resilient and withstand dozens of his moves.

However, although things didn't go as planned, Tian Yang felt that the video might be more effective than he had originally imagined.

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Tian Yang said, "It's just that I pretended to teach you a lesson, and then asked Wang Yin for benefits."

"Like the battle video we just recorded, once I send it to him, I can ask him for something."

"Once the transaction is successful, whatever you get, I can give you half of the spirit coins at the market price."

"To be honest, I still need some things from Netherworld University. If you're willing to continue cooperating, we can work together to get more benefits from Wang Yin."

Watching the other person wave goodbye and leave, Zhang Yu still couldn't tell whether what the other person said was true or false.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm at Wanfa University, has Wang Yin still not given up?"

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "Generally, such persistence can be due to either enmity or conflict of interest, but there's another possibility... Could it be that your presence has influenced his Dao heart?"

"Speaking of which, your actions on the first floor clashed sharply with Wang Yin's style of doing things, and ruined the important things he was going to do on the first floor. He must hate you to the bone."

"And if you affect the operation of his cultivation technique and become his inner demon, then his obsession with it makes even more sense. It's not just that there's a feud between the two of you, but it also relates to his cultivation level in the immortal path."

Not long after, Zhang Yu received 0.5 spirit coins from Tian Yang.

"I've already earned 0.5 spirit coins?"

The thought that he had earned these spirit coins from Wang Yin, a super-rich man who had suppressed him many times, gave Zhang Yu even more motivation.

The white ox in the sea of ​​consciousness seemed to roar as well, and the operation of the Remnant Ox Body and Mind Technique became smoother, and the body's activity seemed to become more vibrant.

So the next day, Zhang Yu, along with Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao to help keep watch, went to the place agreed upon with Tian Yang.

"What are we recording today?" Zhang Yu asked. "Or are you going to beat me up? Do you want me to beat you up badly? Do you want me to vomit some blood?"

Tian Yang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "The fighting videos are at most like yesterday's sparring; they can't capture any depth."

"This is, after all, a university town. Even if you were beaten to death or severely injured, you wouldn't be able to film it. Even if I did film it, Wang Yin has his own other sources of information, so he wouldn't believe it."

"What I'm filming today is to make you work overtime..."

……

The Underworld University City.

After leaving the first floor, Wang Yin did not go to the headquarters of Oasis Group, but returned to his mother's workplace, where he temporarily took a sinecure to recuperate and heal his soul injuries.

Having lost the opportunity to acquire a divine spiritual root, Wang Yin could only re-enter the Foundation Establishment realm with a celestial spiritual root and begin to gradually restore his cultivation.

When Wang Yin faced his mother again at the University of the Underworld, he had to admit that what she had told him back then was true.

"You can't be too nice to those dogs down there."

"These bastards are fed too much, so they become unruly and even want to sit on the table."

In Wang Yin's heart, whenever he thought about the failure of the plan and the loss of the divine root, a strong hatred surged in his mind.

"Zhang Yu...and Bai Zhenzhen."

However, in Wang Yin's view, Bai Zhenzhen was no longer a concern; it was Zhang Yu who mattered more...

The thought that the other person was still learning and cultivating at Wanfa University, advancing on the path of immortality every day, made Wang Yin feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhang Yu is now like a thorn that is getting deeper and deeper into his heart, and it is also making Wang Yin's progress in rebuilding his Dao Heart level slower and slower after he has stepped back into the Foundation Establishment realm.

He recalled how he cultivated the Emperor's Heart technique, which involved using immense wealth to overthrow a city, dominate the common people, and ultimately forge an ultimate fist intent.

"But even though I was rich and powerful when I was on the first floor, I was still unable to control the fate of Zhang Yu."

“This lowest of the low, having received my guidance, not only does not know how to be grateful, but also ruins my plans.”

"Now I am worth many times more than him, yet I have never been able to suppress him..."

Whenever he thought of this, Wang Yin felt a sense of suffocation, and the cultivation method of the Emperor's Heart began to malfunction.

Wang Yin understood that Zhang Yu's matter had become his inner demon, a flaw in his mind, and conflicted with his mental techniques, his thinking, and his will.

"I can either resolve it myself slowly, using time and effort to change my mindset and eliminate this resentment in my heart."

"Either... at least I'll humiliate and toy with him to vent my anger."

Under these circumstances, Wang Yin established contact with Tian Yang through the help of others.

Shortly afterward, he received a video from Tianyang.

Looking at Zhang Yu's strength and extraordinary tenacity displayed in the combat video, Wang Yin frowned deeply.

After giving Tian Yang one spirit coin, Wang Yin made even higher demands, hoping to severely humiliate, toy with, and torture Zhang Yu... He even demanded a live broadcast.

Tian Yang rejected many of Wang Yin's demands and offered a rather high price.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked.

Wang Yin received another video from the other party.

Watching Zhang Yu work overtime like crazy, cultivate like crazy, improve his cultivation level little by little, earn more and more money, and look at him with his eyes full of fighting spirit... Wang Yin felt that the Emperor's Heart in his mind became stagnant again.

At the same time, Tian Yang sent a message: If you don't agree to my request, I'll make sure Zhang Yu has to work overtime every day, and his cultivation level and savings will keep increasing daily.
