Chapter 389 The Final Offensive

Amidst the fierce battles on the field.

In the competition group chat, Zhang Yu, Shi Huaiyu, and others continued to exchange views on the current situation.

Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu, you guys really slowed down their progress.
Shi Huaiyu: But Su Yanyang and his team have such strong construction capabilities that the proportion of spiritual veins has already exceeded 50%.
Che Yufei: Then why hasn't he launched an attack yet?

Shi Huaiyu: Given Su Yanyang's personality, he will likely accumulate the power of the formation until the very last moment before the match ends, unleashing a devastating attack.
Shi Huaiyu: This causes us the greatest damage while leaving us no time to repair ourselves.
Xiao Qingxuan: He probably wants to reduce our final completion rate to 20%, or even below 10%.
Xiao Qingxuan: After all, the result of our battle indirectly determined who would be in the top seven.

Hearing Xiao Qingxuan's words in the group, Yu Xinghan was still a little confused, so he turned to ask Ying Xin, who was also sitting on the bench.

Ying Xin explained, "Among the top ten, the strongest team is of course Mo Shangjin and Xuan Liangtian's team. After all, they have mastered the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, and their teammates are all incredibly powerful."

"But the opponents of these two teams are in a bad situation; they are likely to finish at the bottom in this round of competition."

"Among the remaining teams, the biggest gap in overall strength should be between our team and Su Yanyang's team."

"If our completion rate is reduced to below 20, there is a very high probability that we will fall to the bottom three, along with Mo Shangjin and Xuan Liangtian's opponents."

Yu Xinghan immediately realized: "I see. Once the bottom three positions are determined, the remaining positions will naturally be the top seven. This will ensure that Su Yanyang and the others receive the reward of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood."

Ying Xin nodded: "That's why Su Yanyang will definitely do everything in his power to suppress us."

As for what Yingxin said, the official team members either already understood it or were reminded of it during the competition.

Everyone knew that Su Yanyang was operating the formation, absorbing spiritual energy, and constantly accumulating power, like a spring that gets tighter and tighter, building up to a final and strongest attack.

Zhang Yu and his men naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed; they were also preparing to defend themselves.

When the game reached its final three minutes, the entire arena suddenly trembled.

Shi Huaiyu felt the vibrations of the simulated spiritual vein underground, and his gaze suddenly sharpened: "It's here!"

At the same time, the earth surged like waves, and Su Yanyang floated on the crest of the tide. With the help of the Dharma Body, he stood on the void, at the forefront and highest point of the rolling mud waves.

At this moment, he had complete control over the power of the entire formation. The surging spiritual energy accumulated within the formation erupted under his will, and the underground spiritual veins were slowly activated at his command, causing the terrain to gradually change according to his thoughts.

He wanted to completely crush the opponent's fortifications, reduce the completion rate to below 10%, and firmly establish himself in the top seven.

"Shi Huaiyu, Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan..."

Su Yanyang looked towards the other party's construction site and said coldly, "Your defeat today is not due to me, but to the new technologies of intelligent buildings and financial innovation."

"Your defeat is not only a technical one, but also a defeat of outdated ideas."

Zhang Yu moved swiftly towards the construction site, thinking to himself, "This guy... he must have known that many teachers were watching this match, so he said those things on purpose."

……

In the spirit world.

A teacher immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Su Yanyang is right. Only by using interdisciplinary approaches and leveraging intelligent technology, information technology, and financial technology to empower traditional industries can we revitalize them."

Wei Huai nodded repeatedly, "Without financial innovation to provide funding and without intelligent technology reserves, how can we develop intelligent buildings and carry out a new generation of civil engineering reform?"

As he listened to the teachers from the pacifist and neutral factions praising each other, Tu Lishan secretly sneered.

He knew that Lingyue Zhenjun, as a neutral figure, had been promoting cooperation between the civil engineering and talisman systems when he was in charge, and had been promoting smart buildings, smart factories, and smart cities, with the goal of transforming entire cities of 2 to 6 stories, or even 7 to 10 stories.

However, after Lingyue Zhenjun became busy with the issue of lifespan, he stopped paying much attention to this matter.

Although there are relevant courses in schools, there are very few projects that apply them.

The finance and spell systems have long had extensive collaborations, producing many financial innovations and spiritual finance concepts every year.

"Could it be that after the pacifists and neutral factions have colluded, they've also brought in the spellcasting faction to stir things up? Are they going to continue pushing forward with intelligent buildings together with the neutral faction?"

Thinking of this, Tu Lishan couldn't help but frown. Looking at the duel between Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang, it was as if he were seeing a war faction fighting against neutral and pacifist factions all by himself.

Just then, Su Yanyang, who had been poised to attack, suddenly stopped.

One teacher asked in surprise, "Why did it stop? Did something go wrong?"

One teacher asked in surprise, "Is the formation overloaded?"

Lingyue Zhenjun said calmly, "It's alright. Intelligent buildings have self-checking capabilities and will be able to find the problem quickly."

In the competition footage, Su Yanyang did indeed find the problem based on the building's self-inspection; it turned out that many of the intelligent circuits had malfunctioned.

Wolf Friend used the replay function and said with a flicker of his eye, "Heh, so after Zhang Yu digested the building materials, he vomited out high-intensity digestive matter, which then allowed Tian Yang to block some key points of the spiritual circuit."

"It works fine under normal conditions, but it will malfunction when it is operated at full capacity."

Seeing the mess of Zhang Yu's vomit and other food scraps scattered all over Su Yanyang's construction site, many teachers had a thought: This kid can really eat... If he ever goes to my construction site, I'll have to keep a close eye on him. Wei Huai shook his head: "It's just a temporary delay, not very meaningful."

In the blink of an eye, after the building underwent a self-inspection and Su Yanyang directed a series of repairs, there were only two minutes left before the end of the match.

……

Although he was interrupted, Su Yanyang's face showed no emotion, and he continued with his previous actions.

He raised his hands, and with a violent pull on the spiritual veins, the entire arena shook violently.

The terrifying shockwave traveled through the soil, traveling from the spiritual vein all the way to Zhang Yu's bunker.

Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, mud and sand flew, and everything in the entire arena seemed to be razed to the ground, while the bunkers built by Zhang Yu and others also trembled violently.

Inside and outside the bunker, Zhang Yu and his men moved swiftly, their qi surging, as they did their best to stabilize the structure.

……

Within the spirit realm.

Lang Yougong nodded slightly: "Some of the high-strength materials that Zhang Yu manufactured have been transported here by Tian Yang to reinforce the bunkers."

"The bunker also used a blood sacrifice method, adding ashes to increase its strength."

"With them repairing and patching things up on the side, this shock shouldn't destroy the bunker."

Wei Huai said calmly, "This is just the prelude to Su Yanyang's rise."

Twenty seconds later, as the violent tremors subsided, there were 100 seconds left in the match.

And then Su Yanyang's real offensive began.

Following the recent spiritual vein stimulation and terrain change, large swaths of mud and sand transformed into turbulent torrents, rushing and roaring towards the bunker with earth-shattering force, threatening to completely engulf Zhang Yu and his companions, bunker and all.

From a distance, it looked as if black dragons were baring their fangs and claws, crashing into the bunker.

Amidst a series of loud shouts, Zhang Yu and his six companions bulged their muscles and stretched their bones, transforming in the blink of an eye into giants ranging from six or seven meters to over ten meters tall.

Transformed into giants, they unleashed bursts of powerful energy, blasting towards the oncoming torrent of turbid water.

Under their cover, the mudslide's advance was significantly weakened, but the aftershocks still caused the bunker to shake.

Wei Huai said, "They were already exhausted of their magic power, and they won't be able to hold on for long if they continue to be attacked like this."

As everyone's strength was being depleted, some mudslides could no longer be stopped, and the shaking of the bunker became more and more violent, Che Yufei shrank his body, his aura plummeted, and he had already disappeared into the bunker.

Wolf Friend's eyes flickered as he said, "Feign death and live stake? Put yourself in a state of feigned death to temporarily replace the function of a live stake and use it to reinforce the building."

The teachers standing nearby raised their eyebrows slightly, but none of them offered much comment.

Tu Lishan knew that these fake dead and alive stakes were just temporary replacements for living stakes, hired from workers with weaker vitality to temporarily pass quality inspections. It was knowledge not taught in civil engineering textbooks, and something that teachers tacitly agreed not to mention.

Despite the concerted efforts of everyone, the three-story bunker was quickly submerged by the overwhelming mudslide, with one and a half stories buried.

Seeing this, Su Yanyang said coldly, "Look at the methods you're using."

"They steal materials, eat materials, defecate and vomit indiscriminately on my construction site, and now they're even using fake piles."

"With these underhanded tactics... you think you can fight me?"

"Without funds or technology, do you think you can compete with the latest smart building technologies by relying on some outdated tricks?"

Hearing Su Yanyang's words, many non-war-related teachers in the Spirit Realm nodded in agreement.

With 60 seconds remaining, Su Yanyang launched his next offensive.

As the terrain changed, the underground structure of the bunker also underwent drastic changes.

With a loud bang, huge craters began to appear around the bunker, indicating that the ground was beginning to collapse.

Shi Huaiyu roared, "Rise!"

As the small three-pronged attack began, the mud and sand surged and loosened, detaching from the foundation of the bunker.

At the same time, Shi Huaiyu and Zhang Yu activated the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, pouring streams of Xuanhuang Qi into the fortress, continuously reducing the weight of the various materials inside.

Then, with everyone working together, they managed to pull the entire bunker up.
