Chapter 385 Showdown with Su Yanyang

Before the next competition officially begins, the students have about three hours to rest and receive treatment.

Che Yufei did not suffer many losses in the previous battle. After maintaining his body and taking some regular medicine, he looked at the information that appeared in his eye sockets.

Since he posted on his WeChat Moments after the competition, he has gradually started receiving comments.

He smiled and clicked on the comments under his WeChat Moments, looking at his high school and college classmates who were amazed that he had made it into the top ten of the competition.

Meanwhile, the internship resumes that were originally sent out quietly have started to receive feedback without anyone noticing.

……

On the other side, Shi Yunxiang couldn't wait to show off his top ten ranking in this competition.

I shared the news of my ranking in the top ten in various groups.

In Shi Yunxiang's view, this was perfectly normal.

"If I win a competition but don't show it... wouldn't I have won it for nothing?"

"Once you achieve something, you should flaunt it and let everyone who knows you know it. This is the survival rule for college students."

I received a message from my supervisor after a long time, and I'm excitedly replying.

Meanwhile, some of the demon descendants at Wanfa University approached him to inquire about his situation and whether he needed a loan from the demon descendant student aid fund.

Looking at the replies from Yan Hai, Shi Yunxiang once again marveled at the prestige of being among the top ten in the civil engineering competition.

……

Ying Clan Ancestral Hall Complex

Yingxin: I made it into the top ten in the Civil Engineering competition!

Yingxin's ranking screenshot immediately brought many dead people in the group to their senses.

The head of the family: Excellent! You got this in your second year of university. Your future is promising!

Fourth-generation family head: Yingxin, did you get this ranking as a substitute?

Second-generation family head: Great! We've latched onto a powerful patron. We must hold on tight and not let go.
Fifth-generation family head: Compared to that, ranking isn't important anymore. You'll understand when you're in higher grades. Ranking is more important than ability, but choosing the right side is even more important than ranking, and background is the most crucial factor.

The patriarch: Did you send a gift? Take my ashes and deliver them to the other party.
Third-generation patriarch: Grandpa, you've forgotten that I've already sent almost all of your ashes away, where would there be any left?

Third-generation family head: Burn mine, there should still be plenty left.
Seeing the responses from her father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and great-great ...

……

Meanwhile, Yu Xinghan lay beside the construction site, breathing exercises while manipulating his magical remains to chat.

In the Songyang fellow townsmen group.

Yu Xinghan, ranked 5th in the Foundation Class of Wanfa University, top 10 in the Civil Engineering Competition, and an Engineering Health Management Specialist: Hahaha, @Song Hailong, this video you posted is interesting.

Song Hailong, the third student in the Foundation Building Class of Immortal Soldier University: Wasn't this something I posted last week? Why are you only replying now?

Zhao Tianxing from Fengdu University (contact me for data top-ups): Top 10?

(omitted) Yu Xinghan: You mean the top 10 in the civil engineering competition?
Yu Xinghan: I participated in the Civil Engineering Department's intra-departmental competition with Zhang Yu, defeated several sixth-year students, and luckily made it into the top 10.
Yu Xinghan: It's quite rare to get this ranking in a sophomore year. I can only say that Zhang Yu and I have indeed surpassed the average level of the entire Civil Engineering Department.
Seeing the various responses in the group expressing admiration for the big shot, Yu Xinghan then asked them to support his videos more.

At the same time, Lian Tianji's avatar also started flashing.

Lian Tianji: Brother Xinghan, your assistant forgot to pass on the message you sent last time to me.

Lian Tianji: Which of your videos do you want me to recommend and share?
Upon seeing Lian Tianji's reply, Yu Xinghan's spirits lifted, and he quickly began communicating with the other party. In the end, they agreed that once Yu Xinghan went to Hehuan University to work on a project, the two of them must make a video together.

“Hehuan University…” Yu Xinghan’s gaze hardened: “I’m going!”

Just then, Yu Xinghan saw Zhang Yu and Xiao Qingxuan return and quickly went to greet them, asking, "How did it go?"

Xiao Qingxuan said calmly, "His injuries were already relatively stable. The doctor gave him some simple treatment and used the medicine that Director Gao sent. He should be fully recovered after resting for an hour."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Zhang Yu had performed amazingly in the previous match against Ma Xuan, and had unknowingly become regarded as a key player in the team, an indispensable presence in the upcoming matches.

But shortly afterward, with the release of the schedule for the next round of matches, everyone on the team looked serious.

"The new round of competition will be a two-on-two match between the remaining ten teams."

"The final preliminary top ten rankings will be based on their respective building completion rates."

"The winner of this round of head-to-head battles will have one chance to challenge the third-place finisher in the next round. For example, if they successfully challenge the third-place finisher, they will become the third-place finisher themselves..."

Zhang Yu said thoughtfully, "In other words, this round determines the preliminary top ten rankings, and the next round will determine the final rankings."

Che Yufei frowned and said, "We're playing against Su Yanyang's team this round? This..."

He looked at Shi Huaiyu beside him and asked, "You used to be on their team too. How much of a gap is there between us and them?"

Shi Huaiyu touched his waist and said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "The difference is huge."

"Leaving aside Su Yanyang's own strength, as far as I know, his iron coffin contains nine commonly used Dharma Bodies, covering various specialties, which can perfectly match his various cultivation techniques and allow him to fully exert his cultivation."

"Whether it's frontal combat, reconnaissance and guerrilla warfare, changing terrain, setting up formations, or large-scale construction... it can be said that his abilities in all aspects far surpass ours, and he has absolutely no weaknesses." "And the other members of his team are all students ranked in the top 40 in the entire department."

"The magical artifacts, magical treasures, and other equipment on each of them are all of considerable value."

"In particular, these people are all very wealthy and will not be afraid of the costs and medical care and maintenance after the competition."

At this point, Shi Huaiyu sighed, "I guess Su Yanyang must have received the news a long time ago. He probably formed this team just to compete for the top seven."

"Moreover, this person is extremely cautious in his actions, and he will never be careless no matter what kind of opponent he faces..."

As Shi Huaiyu described the many impressive feats of Su Yanyang and his teammates, the surrounding team members gradually fell silent.

Che Yufei shook his head: "Anyway, we've already made it into the top ten. If things don't go well in the next game, we should just concede as soon as possible to avoid losing too much."

Xiao Qingxuan observed the changes in the expressions of the people around him and could sense that a hint of relaxation was appearing on their faces.

He understood that making it into the top ten had already satisfied the expectations of most of the team members, and the next opponent was so strong that they seemed invincible, so naturally, they would want to give up.

Upon hearing this, Shi Huaiyu's face showed a hint of resentment, but she did not deny what Che Yufei said, because she also lacked the confidence to encourage everyone to fight against Su Yanyang.

Simply because the risks and potential losses involved are too great.

Xiao Qingxuan looked at Zhang Yu, who seemed to be deep in thought, and thought to himself, "The whole team has lost all fighting spirit. Do you still want to win under these circumstances?"

……

As the break ended, everyone prepared to re-enter the arena.

At the entrance to the stadium, the two teams stood facing each other.

Su Yanyang leaned against the floating iron coffin behind him and looked at Shi Huaiyu, saying, "Junior Sister Huaiyu, have you decided to fight to the end, or surrender now?"

"You should be well aware of the gap between us. If we can surrender sooner, we can reduce the losses on both sides. I think that would be a good strategy."

"We're all civil engineering students, so why waste each other's time?"

"You know me, what I hate most is unnecessary spending."

Shi Huaiyu gritted his teeth and said, "You win first, then we'll talk."

Su Yanyang shook his head helplessly: "Junior sister, you are still so irrational. On the path of cultivation, the most taboo thing is to act impulsively."

He looked at Shi Huaiyu's other teammates and advised, "Shi Huaiyu and I have some conflicts, and her choices are inevitably influenced by emotions. You should try to persuade her."

"Wouldn't it be better to save your money for spiritual cultivation? Why waste it here? Don't you all agree?"

Just as Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, and the others were looking at each other with flickering eyes, Zhang Yu suddenly walked up to Su Yanyang, looked at him, and said, "Are you trying to sow discord among us?"

"Oh?" Su Yanyang smiled. "What gave you this misconception?"

“Isn’t it obvious?” Zhang Yu looked at Su Yanyang without backing down and said, “You’re still trying to deal with us by talking trash and sowing discord before the battle even starts? You’re not confident.”

"Is it true that you're not actually that confident you can beat us?"

"Hehe." Su Yanyang's smile grew even brighter: "Interesting sophomore, it seems your confidence has swelled a lot after defeating Ma Xuan."

"Alright, I was originally going to give you some advice from your seniors."

"But it seems that you can only listen to me after you lie down."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yanyang retreated. At the same time, the iron coffin beside him suddenly opened, and several streams of light flew out, shooting towards Su Yanyang.

He suddenly transformed, and the magical body he wore had changed into a different set.

At this moment, Su Yanyang's arms were composed of crystals, with electric sparks flashing within them, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

His legs also turned into the same crystalline substance, creating an anti-gravity force that made him float in mid-air.

His chest and torso resembled blue gemstones, while the crystal-like structures along his spine looked incredibly menacing.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu and the others' gazes sharpened, and the image of Shi Huaiyu's introduction appeared in their eyes.

Shi Huaiyu: Su Yanyang's Dharma Bodies are all complete sets; he buys a whole set at a time.

Shi Huaiyu: Not only can it enhance his cultivation, but there is also a synergistic effect between them, enabling systematic strengthening and combat.

Shi Huaiyu: This set of Dharma Bodies is the Earthly Fiend God of the Myriad Paths Craftsmen Sect, specifically used to enhance the manipulation of Earthly Fiend gravity.
Shi Huaiyu: If used to enhance the Seven Earth and Wood Techniques, it can greatly increase the power and casting range of the Seven Techniques.

As Che Yufei and the others listened to Shi Huaiyu's introduction and looked at Su Yanyang floating in mid-air, their fighting spirit seemed to have been greatly diminished.

As the competition officially began, everyone entered the arena one after another, and the order of attack and defense was determined by random draw.

Shi Huaiyu murmured, "Were we on the defensive in the first half?"

Che Yufei gazed into the distance and said, "Should we go out and confront them, just like last time, and keep them out of the construction site?"

To everyone's surprise, unlike Ma Xuan who launched a large-scale attack right away, Su Yanyang and his group did not launch any offensive.
