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

Chapter 378 Is this a sophomore year?

In the spirit world network.

Many professors from the Civil Engineering Department are watching the games simultaneously.

The ten matches in this round of elimination were played simultaneously, which turned into ten windows, all appearing before them at the same time.

As their thoughts shift, they can observe the battlefield situation from various angles through the on-site cameras.

At the start of the battle, the two inheritors of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power naturally attracted the most attention.

However, this round of elimination matches did not pair Mo Shangjin from the top eight with Xuan Liangtian from the top ten.

Both sides thus defeated their opponents with overwhelming force, making for a rather uneventful match.

On the contrary, the confrontations between other war factions and peace factions were more intense and attracted more attention.

Su Yanyang darted back and forth across the battlefield at high speed, his surging power bombarding the enemy's position and tearing it apart.

"Su Yanyang has mastered the six unique earth and wood techniques with great skill and is highly proficient. It seems he will be able to enter the top seven this time."

"Once he fully masters the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, he can take the military certification exam, right? Our Civil Engineering department will have another student who has mastered military-grade power."

Meanwhile, in another shot, a girl is seen transforming into a giant more than ten meters tall, charging around with three heads and six arms as if she were in an empty field.

Each of her six arms tightly grips a magical artifact, and each time she uses a artifact, an advertising slogan appears.

"Is Xiao Yunji's transforming physical form the latest product? It usually maintains a human form for cultivation, and enters a battle stance when needed."

"He landed six advertising deals in just one competition; he has a bright future ahead of him."

"Xiao Yunji might get her military certificate even earlier than Su Yanyang."

Just as many teachers were discussing the students' performance in the competitions, one teacher suddenly said, "Huh? This student knows the Nine Heavens Cloud Force?"

These words immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked at the competition the other was watching and discovered that it was Zhang Yu who used the Nine Heavens Cloud Force to strike ten times in an instant, sending Cong Na flying.

Wolf Friend's eyes flickered, a slight surprise in his heart: "This kid Zhang Yu actually knows the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force? Ten strikes in an instant, that's already level 10, right?"

Although the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force is already a former military-grade technique, its performance is clearly far superior to... almost all expert-grade techniques.

If this scene had been witnessed years earlier, many teachers would likely have captured Zhang Yu, simply because he was using military-grade martial arts without a license.

But the next moment, seeing Zhang Yu unleash ten strikes in an instant, one of the teachers exclaimed in surprise, "His Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force has already reached level 20?"

"He's only a sophomore, right? And he's already mastered the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force to level 20?"

"This is even after he has cultivated the War Demon Life-Destroying Technique to level 20..."

More teachers turned their attention to the competition between Zhang Yu and Ma Xuan.

When the teachers saw Zhang Yu charge into the enemy ranks, disrupting their lines single-handedly, and using the Nine Heavens Cloud Force to borrow force from others, he managed to fight against multiple students, including seniors, fifth-year students, and sixth-year students. They were even more astonished.

Wolf Friend exclaimed, "What exquisite martial arts talent! He didn't just use the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force to borrow the opponent's strength; he also used his internal energy to mimic his opponent's movements, fully unleashing the power of the opponent's strength."

He exclaimed, "This is truly using their own methods against them, yet it doesn't involve infringing on their techniques. It's truly ingenious."

Tu Lishan exclaimed in admiration, "This is not just martial arts talent, because he is fighting against many opponents."

"Being able to accurately imitate others' moves during intense combat is already quite remarkable."

"Imitating the actions of multiple people is even more difficult."

"While imitating the movements of multiple people, it is necessary to control the rhythm and use these movements and techniques in combination with strength to deal with different opponents. This requires strong brainpower and incredibly fast thinking speed."

A teacher nodded slightly, checked Zhang Yu's information, and found that he had indeed passed the realm of unity of spirit and body, and had also purchased a mental cultivation technique to improve thinking speed.

This mental cultivation method was naturally used by Zhang Yu to conceal his boundless inner Dharma body, and its application at this moment is perfectly timed.

Listening to Lang Yougong and Tu Lishan's analysis, and considering that Zhang Yu is only a sophomore, everyone felt that they were witnessing the rise of another civil engineering prodigy.

Jiao Lei Zhenren thought to himself, "In another five or six years, he might become another Mo Shang Jin."

"It's just a pity... he happens to be a warmonger."

As Zhang Yu's homeroom teacher, Jiao Leizhen always felt conflicted about Zhang Yu's grades.

The fact that the student achieved good grades is indeed a testament to his abilities as the homeroom teacher.

However, as a teacher of the pacifist faction, he did not want Zhang Yu to be too strong, let alone surpass Ji Yuanshu.

Just then, Wei Huai, another teacher from the pacifist faction, coldly said, "His talent is indeed good, but it's too risky and impulsive for someone like him to charge into the enemy's lines."

"That's not how civil engineering competitions are conducted."

"This kind of approach is not suitable for civil engineering. I think you should go to the security department instead."

"You see, Ma Xuan is going to deal with him."

……

Ma Xuan was truly unwilling to endure the chaos before him any longer.

He knew he couldn't let Zhang Yu cause trouble any longer.

"Cong Na, Ji Yuanshu, I need to take back the Little Three Harmonies and deal with Zhang Yu first."

"You all retreat, don't get entangled with Shi Huaiyu and the others."

After saying this, Ma Xuan withdrew his magic power, and the sand and mud in the distance collapsed with a roar.

As Ma Xuan's power receded, Shi Huaiyu's Small Three-in-One attack gained immense power, whipping up billowing mud and sand that accelerated towards Ma Xuan's construction site.

But Ma Xuan ignored all that; he wanted to eliminate Zhang Yu completely before Shi Huaiyu and the others could launch their attack. "Zhang Yu, I admit I was wrong. I underestimated you."

"I shouldn't have thought that I could suppress Shi Huaiyu and the others while also taking care of you."

“If I had given up suppressing Shi Huaiyu the moment you arrived and had directly suppressed you… there wouldn’t have been so many problems.”

As he spoke, Ma Xuan launched the Lesser Three Harmonies again, and as he stomped his foot on the ground, the ground beneath him shook violently.

"Zhang Yu, do you think I haven't thought of a way to deal with you?"

Then he suddenly tore at the ground with both hands, and it seemed as if the earth in front of him was being torn apart and split by a pair of invisible giant hands, revealing a deep pit.

In an instant, everyone who had just been fighting began to fall downwards.

But soon layers of mud and sand transformed into stepping stones, appearing beneath Bu Ziran and the others' feet, helping them jump out of the deep pit.

Zhang Yu unleashed a burst of energy with his palm, blasting it towards the rock wall not far away. Just as he was about to use the force to climb out... he saw a huge black shadow envelop him.

A giant hand made of mud and sand, like Mount Tai pressing down, fiercely pressed down on him.

Under this pure crushing force, Zhang Yu let out a muffled groan and was slammed down with a thud.

Immediately afterward, Ma Xuan clapped his hands together, and the deep pit was filled back in, the earth instantly returning to normal, but Zhang Yu's figure had already disappeared.

Deep underground, Zhang Yu sensed the tiny cavity he was in and his gaze sharpened: "Do you intend to keep me suppressed here forever?"

After using all his strength to temporarily suppress Zhang Yu, Ma Xuan continued to command everyone in the battle.

Seeing the mudslide tsunami that was already close at hand under Shi Huaiyu's control, Ma Xuan struck out with his palm, which also stirred up a sky full of mudslides.

But the next moment, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang appeared on the left and right, their surging energy like giant hammers and drills, forcefully breaking through the sand and mud.

Ma Xuan thought to himself, "Is it because the distance is too close and I haven't been able to gather enough power?"

"Hmph, Zhang Yu's delaying tactics still gave them the opportunity to get closer."

Just then, Cong Na and Yang Yan went up to meet them and intercepted Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang.

With a collision, Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang felt a pang of pain: "These two guys' magic bodies are so tough. We'll have to spend a lot on repairs after this fight."

Just then, Tian Yang unleashed the Great Wind Dust Palm.

Tian Yang thought to himself, "This technique, which is based on the dust pollution, particulate matter pollution, and dust control work of construction sites, is just right for the current environment."

Under Tian Yang's cover, the group charged forward again.

But the next moment, a burst of lightning appeared behind everyone.

A burst of lightning and fire-infused energy shot out like a cannonball from hundreds of meters away, directly blasting towards Che Yufei.

It was Ji Yuanshu who made the move.

He was surrounded by a storm and moved at supersonic speed behind Shi Huaiyu and his group.

His magical arms unfolded into external meridians that extended and connected with each other, transforming his arms into a track that could heat the qi and accelerate it with electromagnetic magic, creating a qi cannon with a range of over 500 meters.

At this moment, as he fired repeatedly, bursts of thunder and fire energy continuously attacked Shi Huaiyu and the others from behind.

Especially under the lock-on of the sixth-generation Soul-Chasing Eye, as soon as the opponent's figure is exposed, Ji Yuanshu's Qi Cannon will be activated suddenly, not letting go of any opportunity.

After connecting with Ma Xuan, the shooting targets were continuously marked by Ma Xuan and appeared in Ji Yuanshu's eyes.

Often, when he fired a Thunderfire Qi Cannon, clouds of mud and sand would scatter under Ma Xuan's control, revealing the target behind it, making Ji Yuanshu's artillery fire even more unpredictable.

With a deafening roar, another burst of thunder and fire energy was shattered by Xiao Qingxuan's dragon-shaped energy.

Shi Huaiyu, standing to the side, had a grim expression as he stared intently at Ji Yuanshu in the distance.

With Ji Yuanshu constantly moving around behind them, firing from various angles, they were always attacked from both sides.

If they wanted to deal with Ji Yuanshu first, the other party could manipulate the storm and retreat and move around at three times the speed of sound.

During this process, Himeki Kaname was still able to continue bombarding the entire field.

Then, combine this with Ma Xuan's small three-in-one technique to control the field...

Shi Huaiyu and his group were delayed precisely because of this.

"It's more annoying than flies."

Shi Huaiyu never expected that while they were sending Zhang Yu over to annoy the other side, he himself would also be annoyed by Ji Yuanshu, who was sent by the other side.

Watching this scene, Ma Xuan thought to himself, "At the same level, cultivation and combat power are not entirely equivalent."

"Especially with changes in the environment and battlefield situation, sometimes the person who decides the outcome is not necessarily the strongest person on the spot."

"Ji Yuanshu's current mastery of ranged attack will help me win this battle."

"Keep firing, Himegaki Kaname, I'll let you unleash your full destructive power."

Seeing Shi Huaiyu launch a three-pronged attack to grab Ji Yuanshu, Ma Xuan immediately coordinated with his teammates to attack Che Yufei and the others.

While Shi Huaiyu launched a small-scale three-pronged attack to maintain the main battlefield, Ji Yuanshu resumed long-range artillery bombardment.

Ma Xuan chuckled inwardly: "It doesn't matter which side you choose; it will only expose your weaknesses."

Just then, Ma Xuan suddenly frowned slightly.

He felt the ground beneath his feet tremble violently.
