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

Chapter 349 This child possesses a naturally born Earth and Wood Sacred Body

After saying what he wanted to say, Director Lin, who was from the peace faction, turned his head away and stopped negotiating with Director Gao, who was from the war faction.

He looked towards the examination hall not far away. In his observation, countless spiritual energies on the ground were constantly converging towards Ji Yuanshu's fortress.

With the absolute support of the spiritual veins, and accompanied by a massive influx of spiritual energy, the entire formation reached its peak operation.

With the added power of the array, faint glows could be seen emanating from the outer walls of the bunker, as if a force field enveloped the entire building.

Not only did it make the bunker shine, but even until the sixth wave of attacks ended, the entire building remained spotless under the protection of the formation, making it look like a unique holy site in this ruined examination hall.

On the other hand, because most of the spiritual energy was occupied by Ji Yuanshu's bunker, the array in Zhang Yu's bunker was not functioning properly, and the enhancement to the building was as thin as paper.

Now, after six waves of attacks, Zhang Yu's bunker, though its main structure remains intact, is covered with marks left by fire, explosions, and impacts, with the outermost layer of plaster almost completely peeled off.

Compared to Ji Yuanshu's fortress, this appearance is like the difference between a beggar and a corporate elite.

Anyone who saw this scene would only think that Ji Yuanshu's bunker was far superior to Zhang Yu's in terms of construction quality and could hold out for longer in the upcoming offensive.

Gongshu Jin sighed inwardly, "The Finance Department truly deserves to be one of the three top-tier majors. Compared to the Civil Engineering Department, which is still researching how to exert all its strength, the Finance Department has already completely surpassed us in terms of vision."

"How can working yourself to the bone on a construction site compare to overall resource allocation?"

On the other side, Yingxin glanced at Ji Yuanshu's bunker, then looked at Zhang Yu's bunker, and thought to herself, "On one side is a construction site with ample funds and overtime pay, while on the other side... it looks like a creation that is completed but still owes money for the project."

She thought to herself, "The outcome is already decided."

Just as similar thoughts were forming in everyone's minds, the seventh wave of attacks had already arrived.

Then, streaks of blue lightning flashed in the air.

Before the attack even began, the free-floating electrical charges in the air sent chills down the spines of everyone in the Foundation Establishment class.

Students with strong perception could even sense powerful electromagnetic forces being channeled from the ceiling, which was more than ten meters high.

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Is the power of the Yuan Magnetic Channel being mobilized? Sure enough, each wave of the attack is stronger than the last, and the difference between each wave is getting bigger and bigger, which can more accurately distinguish the students' grades."

"But that also means that the gap between the top students' grades and those of others will be even greater. There won't be a situation where someone gets 100 points just because the total score is 100."

"With this wave of lightning attacks, Zhang Yu's bunker will probably be breached..."

Just as Gongshu Jin was pondering, bolts of lightning, carrying dazzling flashes of electricity, shot towards the two remaining bunkers like pillars of thunder.

Amidst the crackling and explosions, the blinding lightning instantly engulfed the entire building, making it impossible to see anything inside.

As the lightning gradually dissipated, the air was filled with the smell of high temperature and burning. The ground in the center of the examination room was scorched black, and a large amount of sand had turned into a viscous liquid in the high temperature. At this moment, it was gradually cooling down and forming a glassy substance.

Ji Yuanshu's bunker still stood tall amidst the intense heat, appearing completely unharmed.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Yu's bunker, despite its charred exterior, also stood firm, maintaining its intact main structure.

Even after the eighth wave of attacks ended, accompanied by a violent explosion of fire and then dissipation... a large section of the fluorescent array on the outer wall of Ji Yuanshu's bunker was wiped out.

At the weakest point of the formation, a huge crack appeared, vaguely revealing the condition inside the bunker.

In contrast, Zhang Yu's bunker, apart from increasingly black scorch marks, showed no other damage whatsoever.

"What!" Gongshu Jin stared in shock at this scene. "How is this possible?"

Even the perfectly functioning bunker was blasted open, leaving a crack.

The bunker, whose formation was intermittently activated, remained completely unharmed.
Not only Gongshu Jin, but almost all the students present found it difficult to understand how this scene came about.

Director Lin, a member of the peace faction, was also slightly startled, but unlike the students who could only guess in their hearts, his spiritual projection flashed slightly and he had already arrived at the bunker built by Zhang Yu.

"This is……"

Looking at the reinforced concrete pillars inside the bunker, his brow furrowed slightly, and a guess began to form in his mind.

Without continuing observation, Director Lin waved his hand and retrieved the acceptance report for analysis.

Originally, just by observing the state of the formations of both sides, Director Lin believed that Ji Yuanshu had already secured the victory.

But the situation at this moment made him realize that things were not so simple.

The next moment, rows of data, photos, videos, and acceptance assessments of the bunker appeared before him.

Thirty layers of blast-resistant armor were poured...

A seismic isolation layer is installed between the foundation and the rock mass to reduce the transmission of blast vibrations...

Sand, gravel, and alloys consume kinetic energy in multiple layers...

Densely reinforced concrete columns, multiple parallel load-bearing systems... and viscous resistance structures at key nodes absorb explosive energy, further mitigating structural damage...

Looking at those lines of records, even Director Lin was slightly taken aback: "So many redundant structures?"

"In three hours... he did more than twice as much work as everyone else."

"This kid, did he achieve this level purely through civil engineering skills?"

Just then, Director Gao appeared beside Director Lin. Looking at the incredibly solid fortress in front of him, he smiled slightly and said, "Director Lin, as you said, which truly impregnable fortress wasn't breached from within?"

"In terms of project matters, the finance department may be able to stir up trouble, but in the examination room, there are only cold steel bars and cement. In the end, it is our own skills in civil engineering that matter."

Director Lin casually closed the data that had appeared in front of him, and sneered, "Director Gao, don't be too happy yet."

"Zhang Yu's construction efficiency is impressive, but even the hardest reinforced concrete has its limits and will soon exceed its fatigue limit."

"And the blessing of good fortune, the inevitable trend of the times, and the convergence of inspiration are the power of favorable timing and location, which is limitless."

His gaze seemed to penetrate through numerous obstacles, reaching the bunker of Ji Yuanshu on the other side.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, the weakened power of the formation was restored and quickly reached its peak.

"The formation can recover to its peak time and time again, can this fortress do that?"

Lin said pointedly, "Money brings luck and countless opportunities. Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are or how strong you are, how many times can you afford to fail?"

Director Gao looked at his opponent without backing down and said calmly, "No one can be invincible. I just need to fight to the end in this battle."

"Alright, let's see who stands until the end." Director Lin stared intently at the other person.

At this moment, the thoughts of both parties seemed to transcend multiple spiritual realms, colliding and surging in the air.

Meanwhile, the ninth wave of attacks had already descended from the sky.

Streaks of dark lightning burst forth, sweeping outwards in all directions with their dark, ominous light.

Under the impact of the lightning, the power of the array outside Ji Yuanshu's bunker surged violently, layer by layer of protection was dismantled by the Yin Lightning, and signs of collapse began to appear on the outer walls.

When the tenth and strongest wave of attacks arrived, bolts of lightning descended from the sky, causing explosions, high temperatures, and electromagnetic fields that forced the students nearby to retreat.

Ji Yuanshu's bunker trembled violently and eventually collapsed under the bombardment of shock waves like a tsunami.

When the offensive was completely over, the bunker, which originally had three floors, was reduced to just the last floor.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu's bunker... apart from a partial collapse of one outer wall, the main structure remained intact.

Seeing this, Director Lin frowned sharply: "Even with reinforcement work exceeding twice the amount, it's impossible to achieve this. What else did he do?"

With a thought, Zhang Yu's construction records appeared before him.

Director Gao smiled slightly and instructed Tu Lishan, "Take the students to see it for themselves and let them learn something."

Led by Tu Lishan, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, Yu Xinghan, and others entered the examination hall.

They walked slowly across the still scorching earth to the bunker built by Zhang Yu.

Upon seeing the numerous redundant structures inside, Gongshu Jin exclaimed in surprise, "He made so much in just three hours?"

Tu Lishan said, "That's what makes Zhang Yu so amazing."

"I brought you here today to see his work so that you would know the real gap between him and me."

As he spoke, he tapped his finger, and a video appeared before everyone's eyes.

For post-examination verification, recording, and monitoring, the entire examination process of each candidate in the examination room will be filmed and recorded.

The video playing at this moment is Zhang Yu's construction process.

If the students were only slightly surprised to see those humanoid qi figures moving back and forth, working like a construction crew, then...

What Tulishan said next shocked them.

Tu Lishan said calmly, "Zhang Yu maintained this construction method for three hours."

Thinking of the scenes of Zhang Yu taking medicine repeatedly during the construction process, Tu Lishan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This kind of drug absorption, load-bearing capacity, and the strong physique that can be repeatedly squeezed... he is truly a born civil engineering saint."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Tu Lishan continued, "Of course, these alone are still not enough to withstand 10 waves of attacks."

"The key to his success lies in the building materials."
