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

Chapter 348 The Inevitable Trend, the Right Path of Civil Engineering
Yu Xinghan would glance at Ying Xin's refining materials from time to time, then at Gongshu Jin's construction work, and then keep an eye on the other students.

With the help of his three-eyed supernatural powers, he has an all-around field of vision, which allows him to clearly observe the actions and conditions of each student.

"My construction skills... aren't very strong."

"After all, I spend most of my time no longer on the construction site, but giving massages to people who come from the construction site."

Yu Xinghan memorized her classmates' movements, imitated them, and repeated them.

At this moment, Yu Xinghan was like a skilled tailor, pasting together individual construction steps and sewing them onto his construction site.

But the next moment, he suddenly paused slightly: "That kid Zhang Yu..."

During his observation, Zhang Yu actually sat in place and stuffed large mouthfuls of steel bars and cement into his stomach.

"What's this guy doing? Trying to freeload during the exam?"

Is now the time to do this?

Meanwhile, on the other construction site, Zhang Yu felt the building materials he had just put into his stomach and thought to himself, "Ying Xin's choice was right."

"We really need to improve the quality of building materials ourselves."

Zhang Yu's magical power surged, and his muscles swelled and contracted, bursting with unparalleled elasticity.

The True Form of Mountains - Propelling the Way!
The next moment, with the infusion of magical power, Zhang Yu's muscles and internal organs suddenly expanded, like an inflating balloon, and he violently grew into a giant.

Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed a large piece of building material.

But Zhang Yu didn't intend to digest these materials. Instead, he wanted to use the digestive system made of No. 15 secret steel to reprocess these building materials and greatly enhance their strength.

As he felt the building materials transforming inside him, Zhang Yu's gaze remained unwavering.

"That's not enough..."

Zhang Yu murmured to himself, "In this examination hall, there are people stronger than me in terms of Dharma Body, wealth, experience, or even abilities like Taoist magic."

"If I want to win, I must fully utilize my strengths and use my most authentic and fundamental abilities to make this bunker indestructible!"

With a low shout, Zhang Yu's aura surged, and countless powerful warriors appeared behind him, catching the building materials he spat out and beginning to build the foundation on the construction site.

Ji Yuanshu had been observing Zhang Yu's condition, after all, Zhang Yu was the student whose strength was closest to his in this exam.

Seeing Zhang Yu conjure up human-shaped qi forms, he felt somewhat disapproving: "What a waste of magical power."

As steel and concrete structures rose from the ground, Zhang Yu's Wuxiang Warrior moved through them, and his construction team gradually became invisible.

Time flew by amidst the sounds of knocking and clattering in the examination hall.

Every student is giving their all, showcasing the essence of what they learned in their freshman year and pouring it all into the construction site before them.

As he watched the bunkers gradually rise from the ground and observed the actions of each student, Tu Lishan grew increasingly curious and eager for the final result.

With the three-hour construction period coming to an end, fewer and fewer students were still working on the project.

The vast majority of people have completed all the construction work.

Seeing the frantic hammering still going on in Zhang Yu's bunker, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Could it be that his magic power was used up too much before, causing his construction efficiency to drop and fall behind?"

The three-hour construction period ended.

The commotion at Zhang Yu's construction site also ceased.

He walked out of the bunker with a hint of regret on his face.

Everyone watching this scene wondered if Zhang Yu had failed to completely finish the interior of the bunker.

At the same time, a glint flashed in Tulishan's eyes, and a young man dressed in a Taoist robe, looking like an ancient person, appeared in front of him.

It was Director Gao's spiritual projection that appeared.

Director Gao asked calmly, "How is the situation?"

Tulishan said respectfully, "The construction has just been completed, and we are now going to inspect it."

One by one, assistants and other civil engineering professors who were proctoring the exam entered the bunkers, inspected the situation inside, and recorded it.

Seeing this, Director Gao nodded slightly and said casually, "Well, I'm here to check on the first-year students' grades."

Tu Lishan could sense that Director Gao was in a bad mood, and considering the date, he guessed that it was probably related to the final grades.

Director Gao was indeed dissatisfied with the end-of-term results for all grades.

Currently, among the students in the Civil Engineering Department who belong to the "war" and "peace" factions, five grades in the "war" faction are lagging behind academically and have lost first place.

If Ji Yuanshu takes first place in the first year, then overall, they will be six years behind.

Director Gao asked, "What are the win rates for Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin?"

Tulishan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's hard to say."

Director Gao frowned: "Then I'll come and see for myself."

Meanwhile, a large number of students gathered outside the construction site, nervously awaiting the acceptance process and the next 10 waves of challenges.

The inspection was completed quickly. Yingxin looked at her 100% completion rate and breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Now let's see how many waves of attacks we can withstand."

All around the construction site, spiritual projections rose up, appearing as shimmering bands of light surrounding the site and displaying a sign prohibiting entry.

With Tsuchiyama announcing the start of the final stage of the exam, the first wave of attacks also began.

As the surrounding partitions rose, huge pipes unfolded from underground.

The next moment, like a torrent of water, towering waves crashed against the bunker.

A terrifying force surged within the giant waves, the raging torrents crashing against the bunker time and again, like a siege engine bombarding it repeatedly. The students watched with trepidation, fearing that their bunker would be breached.

Ten minutes later, the tide gradually receded.

Tulishan nodded slightly and began the second wave of attack.

Amidst deafening roars.

All the bunkers trembled slightly, and as the formation of the simulated examination room was activated, the ground where the bunkers were located rose and fell, as if a raging sea was rising in the earth.

With the ground shaking violently, the bunkers looked as if they had experienced a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake. Some students looked worried as they saw the cracks in the walls of their artwork.

Some students breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at their rock-solid works.

One minute later, as the simulated earthquake ended, not a single bunker collapsed.

The third wave of the attack saw violent explosions erupt, and visible shockwaves swept across the bunkers.

It was during this offensive that the walls of some bunkers finally began to collapse.

When the fourth wave of attack ended, only four bunkers remained intact on the field.

However, the exterior wall of one of the buildings had cracked, revealing large areas of bloodstains inside.

Seeing this, Tu Lishan was slightly surprised: "Ying Xin actually survived this wave?"

His eyes flickered as he gazed at the bloodstains on the wall: "Was it a blood sacrifice?"

Director Gao's eyes flashed with Ying Xin's information, and he nodded slightly, saying, "In the process of refining the materials, she added her own blood essence and the family ashes stored in her body to complete the blood sacrifice."

Director Gao smiled slightly, and in his eyes seemed to appear the students who looked like Ying Xin, who were Ying Xin's father, grandfather, and even earlier ancestors.

"As expected of a sixth-generation civil engineer, he mastered the technique of blood sacrifice on the construction site in his freshman year."

The fifth wave of attack saw massive fireballs rise up and engulf the remaining bunkers one by one.

As Yingxin's bunker was largely destroyed, Gongshu Jin's bunker also suffered a large hole, revealing a section of its spine.

The blood vessels and nerves on the spine spread throughout the entire wall, absorbing the spiritual energy of the formation, as if they had become the heart of the building.

Tu Lishan's eyes flickered: "He inserted his Vajra Mystic Spine Dharma Body into the array eye?"

Director Gao nodded appreciatively: "Oh? Is it driving a live stake? This is a construction technique for second-year students. I didn't expect him to have mastered it already and even be able to drive his own spiritual body into it."

The sixth wave of attack, accompanied by flashes of lightning, covered the entire construction site with streaks of lightning and fire.

Amidst the continuous explosions, shockwaves swept in all directions, leveling all the broken walls and ruins to the ground.

Watching his spine disappear in the explosion, Gongshu Jin couldn't help but feel his heart bleed, and roared in his mind, "My Vajra Mystic Forge!"

But thinking that he had only managed to get third place by using his own spine to build the foundation, he couldn't help but stare intently at the remaining two bunkers, as if trying to see clearly what kind of civil engineering techniques they had used to make them stand firm until now.

Tu Lishan's gaze shifted slightly, and Ji Yuanshu's construction records and acceptance records appeared in his eyes.

When Tulishan first saw these things, he was amazed.

And now, looking at it again, he couldn't help but feel amazed once more.

"Really..."

According to the inspection record, Ji Yuanshu's body was sitting cross-legged in the basement of the bunker.

"He actually buried himself inside, using his own body to suppress the luck and gather spiritual energy, thus strengthening the formation to its limit."

"No...it's not just that."

"As early as when he was drawing in the spiritual veins, he was already constructing an auspicious burial site, and at that time he planned to bury himself."

Tu Lishan's gaze swept over the broken walls and ruins, as well as the simulated spiritual veins underground: "Initially, we only used auspicious burial sites and the bodies buried there to suppress the luck and occupy the most spiritual energy in the spiritual veins."

"But with each bunker that collapsed, Ji Yuanshu's bunker gained a new source of inspiration."

"This is the essence of the financial system's way of destiny: the more resources you have, the more resources you can move, eventually snowballing and even influencing the overall trend of the world..."

"At this moment, ninety percent of the spiritual energy in the simulated spiritual vein has been gathered in Ji Yuanshu's fortress."

Tu Lishan looked out of the examination hall and saw Ji Yuanshu's figure.

At this moment, Ji Yuanshu's soul is preserved in the spirit world. What appears here is his spirit world projection. However, the students around him are used to observing the world with their eyes, and most of them did not notice this.

At the same time, Tulishan could also sense that the medical company's emergency team was already waiting outside the examination hall.

……

One of the young doctors said, "Captain, how much longer do we have to wait?"

The leading doctor said calmly, "We can go in and save people once the exam is over."

The young doctor asked curiously, "How could someone who can afford to hire us die in the exam room?"

The leading doctor casually remarked, "They're rich people; it's normal for them to die a few times a year. They're not like poor people who can't afford to die."

"In our line of work, remember this: no matter how the client died, just bring them back to life."

……

Director Gao coldly stared at Ji Yuanshu's bunker, sensing the stability of the bunker and formation under the blessing of luck.

Just then, an arrogant voice rang out: "Old Gao, how well has my student mastered the Dao of Destiny?"

A projection of the spirit world appeared in front of Tu Lishan and Director Gao. It was none other than Director Lin, Ji Yuanshu's master and the representative of the Peace Faction of the Civil Engineering Department.

Director Gao glanced at the other party coldly and said indifferently, "This is not the righteous path of civil engineering."

Director Lin sighed, "What right path is there in civil engineering? No matter how good your construction is, how exquisite your materials are, or how ingenious your design is, how can it compare to luck? How can you go against the will of Heaven?"

"It should be known that throughout history, even the most impregnable fortresses have been destroyed by human calamities; which one has ever truly been breached?"

"No matter how skilled you are in civil engineering, if you don't combine it with finance and don't understand the power of luck, you'll ultimately be nothing more than someone else's rag to wipe their feet, used and then thrown away."

Director Gao snorted and said, "The financial system is turning the world into a series of casinos. If everyone is gambling, who will truly build Kunxu? The sect should build Kunxu and make it prosperous. That is the right thing to do."

"Don't try to intimidate me with your big talk. Are you one of the people who built Kunxu? You're talking to me about the big picture? Whoever has the money controls the big picture."

Director Lin sneered, looked at the two remaining bunkers, and said calmly, "I have more outstanding disciples than you, more projects in my hands, and more bank loans for my company. If the tide isn't in my hands, then who is?"

"Just like in this examination hall right now, all the inspiration has converged on Ji Yuanshu. He is the one favored by fate and the one whose destiny is inevitable."

"How long can your righteous path of civil engineering hold out?"
