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

Chapter 350 Zhang Yu First
“Li Xiao…” Tu Lishan gestured for Li Xiao to attack the outer wall of the bunker in front of them.

Li Xiao struck out with his palm, and the howling energy crashed down on it like cannon fire.

But not only did the outer wall remain unmoved, Li Xiao felt a strong recoil force and staggered back several steps, staring in astonishment at the outer wall of the bunker.

Li Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "After so many blows, it's still so sturdy? What kind of material is it made of?"

“This is Zhang Yu’s digestive waste.” Tu Lishan pointed to the entire bunker in front of him and said with emotion, “Most of the building materials of this entire bunker are his digestive waste.”

After saying that, he pointed to a small patch of uneven texture on the inside of the wall and said, "Look, this is Zhang Yu's stomach texture. It is the texture left by the violent compression of his stomach during the material processing. It is his digestive trace."

"Besides the use of his internal energy for construction, Zhang Yu's physical body repeatedly tempered the building materials using the high temperature and high pressure environment within his body."

"He stripped the impurities from the building materials, leaving the indigestible essence, to form a high-strength material for building houses."

"And the whole process took him a full three hours to process."

Gongshu Jin was extremely surprised upon hearing this. He then recalled Zhang Yu's appetite at the previous gathering and thought to himself, "Zhang Yu's digestive ability is even more terrifying than I estimated. He can actually do this much?"

On the other side, Li Xiao was shocked upon hearing this, and then his face paled in astonishment: "The building materials used for this bunker... were hauled out by Zhang Yu? He was hauling them out for three hours straight while he was building them?!"

……

On the other side, Director Lin looked at the construction records and watched Zhang Yu swallow large amounts of building materials, constantly spitting out impurities, and finally spitting out the most solid, most essential, and most difficult-to-digest parts. His expression also became very complicated.

The building in front of us was not only reinforced in all aspects thanks to our strong construction capabilities, but it also surpassed all the candidates in terms of building materials.

At the same time, beside Director Lin, Director Gao, a member of the war faction, looked at the pillar in front of him and said calmly, "In civil engineering, the most important things are ultimately materials and technology."

"Without sufficiently powerful materials and truly ingenious technology, how could Kunxu have achieved its current prosperity?"

"Take this university town we're standing on, for example. A thousand years ago, even if you had a lot of money and could gather resources from all over the world, could you have built it?"

……

Not only was Li Xiao shocked, but the other students at the scene were also deeply shocked as they watched Zhang Yu in the video.

Wincore further pointed out Li Xiao's mistake: "It's not just about pulling for three hours."

"Zhang Yu worked tirelessly, including eating and defecating, and underwent high-intensity construction for a full three hours, elevating the quality of this bunker to another level."

Tu Lishan reminded him, "Don't use the word 'pull.' What Zhang Yu did was still 'transportation,' moving building materials from the storage location to his own stomach, and then from his stomach to the construction site."

"In short, Zhang Yu's performance today was a comprehensive victory in terms of digestion ability, construction ability, physical strength, and professional skills."

Li Xiao knew that Tu Lishan was right. Given his abilities in all aspects, it would be impossible for him to excel in even one of them, while Zhang Yu had surpassed the level of all the students present in every single one of them.

Feeling the shocked, awe-inspiring, envious, or jealous gazes of the crowd, Zhang Yu silently activated the camera function of his eye and captured the scene.

In particular, Ji Yuanshu's unpleasant expression made him unable to resist taking a few more pictures.

……

On the other side, listening to Director Gao's words, Director Lin, a member of the peace faction, snorted and said, "Materials and civil engineering are very important on this construction site."

"But even if you don't do it, and I don't do it, are you suggesting that someone else should do it?"

"Yes, you're right. A thousand years ago, the university town we have today couldn't have been built."

"But which of those who could mobilize enormous wealth and gather resources from all over the world a thousand years ago hasn't survived to this day? Whether it's technology or materials, all the achievements will ultimately belong to them."

Hearing the other party's response, the Taoist robe projected by Director Gao churned. He said angrily, "Stubborn fool! Didn't you see that in today's battle, Zhang Yu defeated Ji Yuanshu head-on with sheer strength?"

"Heh? You think Zhang Yu's skills count as solid ability?" Director Lin said with a faint smile, "Old Gao, you're not that old, but your mind is really too old."

“Listen to what those students are saying.”

……

One of the Foundation Establishment students said, "Although Zhang Yu defeated Ji Yuanshu this time, he didn't spend much money. He doesn't seem to have enough confidence, and his strength isn't lasting. It's not his true strength."

Another student said, "In terms of foundation, Zhang Yu is indeed a bit lacking, but he won today after all, and he may be the top student in the class this year."

……

Director Lin said, "Did you hear that? Money is king, it's the real hard power. Your ideas are outdated. If you keep clinging to them, you'll be eliminated sooner or later."

Director Gao scoffed, "Heh, in short, no matter what you say, Zhang Yu has won this round..."

At this point, the two paused slightly, because the final grades and overall scores had already been calculated.

With the authority of these two directors, they could naturally see the specific results and rankings in the backend immediately.

For a moment, Director Lin's face stiffened slightly, while Director Gao's smile deepened: "If Ji Yuanshu focuses on his own professional content, he may not necessarily lose."

"But he lost now, and he lost because he was studying finance as a side job and gambled on luck, so his loss was even more devastating."

"Have you thought about the consequences if you lose, just like what you're doing now?"

Looking at the final rankings, Director Lin snorted coldly and without uttering a word, his spiritual projection vanished. Director Gao stared in the direction where he disappeared, the coldness in his eyes growing stronger, but then slowly dissipating after a moment.

Then he looked in Zhang Yu's direction and smiled slightly, saying, "I never thought that everyone would look down on you, but you turned out to be the most promising one."

Director Gao hadn't had much confidence in competing with Zhang Yu and Ji Yuanshu, but unexpectedly, the latter gave him a big surprise at the end of the semester.

"We can increase our investment in Zhang Yu."

"Let's just follow the previous agreement and accept him as a disciple."

"And the divine power of Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power..."

Thinking of this, Director Gao recalled the image of Gongshu Jin.

The war faction originally intended to cultivate Gongshu Jin as the next successor to the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu's performance clearly surpassed that of Gongshu Jin.

"Then let's replace Gongshu Jin with him."

"Let's give it another push and see if this kid can manage to snag the military pass."

……

Outside the examination hall, as the exam came to a complete end and the site was unsealed, the medical team that had remained on the perimeter rushed in immediately.

They skillfully located the body, set up a cordon, and then began on-site first aid while projecting advertisements.

"Still worried about going astray in your cultivation?"

Are you still worried about accidentally dying suddenly while working overtime and disrupting your work schedule?

"Do you want to risk your life and give it your all in this crucial exam, leaving no regrets?"

"Compassionate healthcare allows you to die whenever you want, giving you complete freedom to die."

Many students were surprised to see the medical team digging up the bunker and retrieving Ji Yuanshu's body for rescue.

After looking at the advertisement and learning more about it, some people were astonished and thought to themselves, "What an expensive service!"

Someone thought to themselves, "Ji Yuanshu actually called the 'Dead' medical team? He's so rich!"

Looking at Ji Yuanshu's corpse, some people thought, "No wonder he's rich. He looks so handsome when he's resurrected! He's truly heroic."

Ji Yuanshu, in his spirit world projection, was also watching this scene.

According to his original plan, after winning first place, the medical team would enter the field and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, dig out the body—brought back to life.

At that moment, the hearts of the people will be with him, and he will not only become the number one as expected, but his luck will also surge even more intensely.

But at this moment, everything is completely different from what he expected.

Ji Yuanshu felt as if his exhumed corpse was a stepping stone, which Zhang Yu was ruthlessly trampling underfoot.

This was because many students gradually realized the cause of Ji Yuanxu's death.

Ying Xin stared in shock at Ji Yuanshu's exhumed body: "Ji Yuanshu... he actually used human sacrifice? He risked his own life? Zhang Yu has surpassed Ji Yuanshu's life?"

Yingxin quickly calculated in her mind: "Before this exam, Ji Yuanshu's overall score was higher than Zhang Yu's. But judging from the gap in this exam... it seems that Zhang Yu has a chance to surpass Ji Yuanshu."

On the other side, Gongshu Jin looked at Zhang Yu with great shock: "Ji Yuanshu lost a life, yet he still couldn't beat Zhang Yu? I wonder if Zhang Yu's ranking will surpass Ji Yuanshu's after calculating the overall score of this exam."

If Tu Lishan's original analysis made everyone realize that Zhang Yu was very strong...

Now that Ji Yuanshu's body has been unearthed, the students feel Zhang Yu's power even more acutely.

At the same time, a flash of lightning struck Ji Yuanshu, and his heartbeat and blood flow gradually returned.

Then the brain resumed functioning.

Then the spirit in the spirit world was also guided back to the body.

Seeing Ji Yuanshu open his eyes, the doctor leading the team smiled and said, "Mr. Ji, welcome back."

"We're going to test your recovery of consciousness now..."

Ignoring the other party, the moment Ji Yuanshu regained consciousness, he felt the accumulated fortune in his mind churning violently, like boiling magma, wanting to erupt from his body.

Having barely managed to suppress the fortune using the copper coin magic artifact in his mind, Ji Yuanshu's expression became even more unpleasant.

He understood perfectly well that once the overall scores and rankings were updated tonight, if he fell behind Zhang Yu in the rankings, he would face an extremely severe backlash of luck.

On the other side, Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan beside him, patted the other's shoulder and said, "Xinghan, what's wrong?"

Yu Xinghan said, "Zhang Yu, I...I...I'm really fucking happy for you."
