What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 347 Intense Moving

Tulishan looked at everyone and said, "You have 15 minutes to prepare. Think carefully about what you should do next."

Looking at the blueprints that appeared in his eyes, Zhang Yu quickly constructed the finished product in his mind using the dual thinking of his mind and soul.

"This is... a bunker, isn't it?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The structure of the bunker itself can be used to resist all kinds of attacks."

"At the same time, this is probably also a hint that the 10 attacks after the building is completed are related to war."

Thinking about this, Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "Is it another war element? It seems that quite a few people in the Civil Engineering Department really think that the university war will get bigger and bigger, to the point that they are constantly preparing for the exams."

Looking at the structure of the entire bunker, pondering its key features and his own advantages: "With my construction efficiency, completing this bunker in three hours should not be a problem."

"The key is to push the bunkers to a high enough strength to withstand more attacks and retain greater integrity after an offensive."

"What's the best way to maximize my strengths?"

Just as Zhang Yu was deep in thought, Li Xiao looked at the blueprints in his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and he already had the answer in his mind.

"The key is the materials."

Li Xiao thought to himself, "We must use the highest quality materials possible to build this bunker. The better the materials, the stronger the bunker will be, and even with the same construction efficiency, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

"Therefore, materials are the most important thing."

As he thought of this, Li Xiao began to silently select materials according to the design on the blueprints and arrange them according to their importance.

"Since the materials are the most important, the outcome of this exam actually depends on the selection of materials in the first half hour."

"The competition will be fierce, and I want to get ahead of everyone else and take the best materials."

With this in mind, Li Xiao went through another round of selection and listed the three most important materials.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Almost the instant Tu Lishan announced the start of the exam, Li Xiao had already darted out.

Even though his heart was burning like fire, his magic power was surging through his meridians, and his legs were cleaving through the air like giant axes, he had already accelerated to the limit...

He could only watch helplessly as two figures, like comets, crashed through the atmosphere, accompanied by supersonic thunderous roars, surpassing his own figure and plunging into the building materials area.

It was Ji Yuanshu who was at the forefront, and Zhang Yu who was right behind him.

Just as the two rushed into the material area one after the other, Gongshu Jin flashed and chased after them, creating a long wave of air, becoming the third to rush into the material area.

Seeing people rushing ahead of him, Li Xiao was a little nervous but not flustered, because he had expected this.

He silently crossed out the top three most important building materials in his mind and started looking for the fourth and fifth most important materials.

"The top-ranked materials are bound to be highly competitive, and it will be difficult for me to beat them."

"Instead of doing that, why not set your sights on the next level up first..."

But after searching for a while, a look of surprise appeared in Li Xiao's eyes: "What's going on?"

"Why are there only No. 5 to No. 10 secret steels?"

"What about secret steel of grade 10 or higher?"

"Why are the other materials also... so low-end?"

"Is this exam really going to require us to build a bunker using these low-end, even substandard, materials?!"

Just as Li Xiao was in surprise, he saw Ying Xin's aura surge, and she had already swept up a large batch of inferior steel.

She was not at all surprised by the quality of the building materials.

"As we said, it's a test of practical skills, so how to reduce costs and how to cut corners, such as using inferior materials to build high-quality buildings, can certainly be a direction for assessment."

Ying Xin's aura surged like a dragon, carrying tens of tons of building materials as she charged toward her target location.

At the same time, a series of sonic booms exploded in my ears.

Ying Xin looked up and saw Ji Yuanshu leading the way, with Zhang Yu close behind. The two of them were surrounded by auras that swept through the air like a whirlwind, carrying with them a cloud of building materials as they shot out.

Seeing this, Ying Xin sighed inwardly at the gap between herself and the two, but quickly adjusted her mindset: "My opponents are not them."

My goal is fourth place in the class.

Meanwhile, watching the students carrying building materials back and forth, Tu Lishan exclaimed, "The Immortal Path involves small internal transportation, while the Civil and Wood Path involves large external transportation. One is internal and the other is external, one is hidden and the other is visible, and they influence each other. This is precisely the great mystery contained within the Immortal Path."

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. As Tulishan announced the end of the material transportation time, Yingxin looked at the large amount of materials on her construction site and showed a satisfied smile.

In fact, according to the requirements on the blueprints, the materials she brought in that half hour clearly far exceeded the building's needs.

But soon everyone understood why she did it.

As Tulishan announced the start of construction, Yingxin let out a low shout, and streams of high-temperature qi, radiating a scorching force that distorted the atmosphere, enveloped the large amount of steel before her. With the intense heat enveloping the area, Yingxin struck out with her palm again, and amidst a series of crackling explosions, bolts of lightning qi struck the scorching steel, re-tempering and reshaping it.

"If there are no high-quality materials, then we can just refine them ourselves."

“On construction sites, especially on battlefields, there isn’t a reliable supply of high-quality materials. The key is to use local materials.”

Upon witnessing Yingxin refining the materials, many students present were slightly startled, then suddenly realized what was happening, and then a look of frustration appeared in their eyes.

Watching this scene, Li Xiao sighed inwardly, "So she's going to remelt the building materials on the spot? Is this the practical experience passed down through six generations of civil engineers?"

"But most students probably thought of this, and there wasn't enough time. This requires a high level of cultivation."

Just as Li Xiao was marveling at Ying Xin's rich experience and profound cultivation, a violent tremor suddenly came from the earth.

"what happened?"

At the same time, Yu Xinghan, who was observing the students around her, turned her head and saw that Gongshu Jin had replaced his arms at some point.

At that moment, his arms looked like two giant battering rams, crashing down onto the ground with a thunderous roar.

At the same time, Yu Xinghan could also see that behind Gongshu Jin, there were several sets of Dharma Bodies arranged in order, waiting for Gongshu Jin to switch to use them at any time.

"Damn rich people." Yu Xinghan was filled with jealousy as he watched this scene, wishing he could strip the other person's magic body and wear it himself.

Watching the other party's actions, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "Are they laying the foundation?"

But he soon noticed something was wrong; under the observation of his three-eyed divine power, the spiritual energy in the air had changed.

"This is... a change in the spiritual vein?" Yu Xinghan exclaimed in surprise, "There's a spiritual vein in this examination hall too?"

"Of course there is." Gongshu Jin felt the change in the terrain beneath his feet and sneered inwardly: "The examination room simulates a real battlefield construction site environment, and there are naturally spiritual veins simulating spiritual pathways beneath the ground."

"Ordinary workers look at materials, excellent workers look at structures, but true masters of civil engineering look at formations."

"The structure and materials of the bunker... are not the most important factors."

"The formation is the most crucial part."

"As long as the formation is strong enough, even an earthen wall can withstand thousands of troops, thunder and fire."

"To enhance the power of the formation, drawing upon the spiritual veins is of course the most important thing."

The dual-wielding artifact he was currently wielding was called the Earthshaking Arm. After being infused with mana, it could unleash a level 20 Earthshaking Palm.

Moreover, the impact structure contained in the Earth-Shaking Arm, as well as the experience summarized by countless users, makes the Earth-Shaking Palm effect far exceed that of students who have painstakingly practiced to the level 20 Earth-Shaking Palm.

"How could the skills I honed through countless trials on my own possibly compare to the magical body and martial arts I bought with spirit coins?"

"Spiritual vein! Come out here!"

Gongshu Jin's body was engulfed in a fierce aura, which he then channeled into his Earth-Shaking Arm. After passing through a series of impact structures, the aura transformed into visible transparent ripples, stirring up distorted air and dust, which slammed into the ground beneath his feet.

With a loud bang, some students' legs buckled and they collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, the underground simulated spiritual vein, amidst violent tremors, has shifted towards Gongshu Jin's construction site, which will greatly increase the power of his formation.

But at that moment, a similar tremor came, and the spiritual vein was deflected to the other side.

Gongshu Jin suddenly turned his head and saw that Ji Yuanshu was also using the Earth-Shaking Palm technique, and he was doing it with his bare hands without relying on the power of the Dharma Body.

"Level 20 Earthshaking Palm?" Gongshu Jin thought in surprise, "He has already mastered Level 20 Earthshaking Palm? And its power is greater than mine? Is it because his base stats are higher than mine?"

Gongshu Jin felt it wasn't just because of that.

In his observation, every palm strike from Ji Yuanshu was perfectly timed in terms of power, movement, and internal energy, reaching the pinnacle of artistry.

It's as if the spiritual vein that Ji Yuanshu was guiding was originally meant to be in that position, and everything was ordained by fate. If Gongshu Jin were to defy this, he would be going against the will of heaven.

After another round of exchanges, Gongshu Jin was extremely unwilling, but he had to admit that he was completely at a disadvantage in the contest of pulling on the spiritual veins.

On the other side, Ji Yuanshu didn't seem to care about this at all.

After a fierce struggle with Gongshu Jin and ultimately defeating him, he made a hand seal, and the surging fortune in his mind rippled slightly, causing the divine assistance he felt during the Earth-Shaking Palm to dissipate completely.

But the next moment, this luck was added to his condensed qi, making his qi move as if it were a work of divine craftsmanship, with every bit of power and every bit of qi operating perfectly.

His Condensed Qi was only level 10, but at this moment it unleashed the effect of level 20.

This is the terrifying aspect of Qi Luck Dao Technique. As long as Ji Yuanshu is willing to consume Qi Luck, he can make any of his cultivation techniques be blessed with good fortune and unleash the maximum effect that can be achieved at his current level.

Of course, this process also consumes one's luck. Once one's luck is greatly damaged or even exhausted, not only will the power of the technique not increase, but the power will even decline when one attacks, and mistakes will occur frequently.

However, at this moment, Ji Yuanshu was confidently sitting firmly in the top seat of the class. He was at the peak of his luck and had great fortune. It was impossible for him to lose in this battle, let alone exhaust his luck.
