Chapter 398 The Loser, the Second Ultimate

Inside the luxurious dormitory.

Since losing the competition and having a big argument with Ma Xuan and others, Ji Yuanshu has been in a very low mood.

In particular, the coldness from his master, Director Lin, made him feel as if he was being abandoned.

When Ji Yuanshu learned that Zhang Yu's team had defeated Su Yanyang again, he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

His subsequent conversation with Gongshu Jin further confirmed this in his mind.

"It was the war faction that orchestrated this, investing a lot of resources to help Zhang Yu defeat both me and Su Yanyang."

"Fortunately, Su Yanyang also lost."

Ji Yuanshu felt that Su Yanyang's failure made his own failure seem insignificant.

"Master should also understand that this defeat is not my fault."

"But now my luck has backfired, and my master is probably no longer willing to invest too much in me."

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanshu sensed the two credit cards in his mind that were transferring their fortune back and forth.

"Having two cards and two loans has temporarily helped me weather this backlash of bad luck."

"In the future... I will only be able to fight against the big hands of the war faction on my own."

……

On the construction site of the 667th floor.

Su Yanyang, who was working, turned around and saw Ma Xuan standing to the side.

Ma Xuan laughed and said, "Watch closely and learn how you compete in civil engineering competitions."

Su Yanyang's face darkened. He turned his head and said coldly, "If it weren't for my teammates' incompetence, my soul cultivator's laziness, and the fact that the opponent had a master guiding them, I would never have lost."

Ma Xuan nodded and said, "I know, I understand."

"Senior brother, it's really a pity for you this time."

"If you get seventh place this time, you can collect all seven of the Seven Wonders next semester. If you pass the military certificate exam next year, you can cultivate the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power."

Su Yanyang turned to look at Ma Xuan, and thinking that the other party had also lost to Zhang Yu, he sighed and said, "He was just one step behind."

"I'm afraid the warmongers also saw the threat I posed, which is why they went to great lengths to target me."

“Their real target is me, and you have probably been affected as well.”

Ma Xuan then asked, "So, senior brother, are you planning to take the military certification exam again next year?"

Su Yanyang said calmly, "Of course, there are only so many opportunities, how can we give them up so easily?"

After exchanging a few more words with the other party, Ma Xuan said, "I kicked Ji Yuanshu out."

"Senior brother, you're out of team now."

"How about next year's competition... join our team?"

Su Yanyang shook his head: "Let's talk about it next year. I don't want to think about the competition right now."

……

The University of the Underworld.

Wang Yin's mind was fully engaged in the cultivation method of the Emperor's Heart, and his Dao heart was as firm as a rock.

Looking back on what had happened to Zhang Yu, he felt it was nothing more than a few hardships.

"No, Zhang Yu lying to me last time was actually a good thing."

"It was just a mere amount of spirit coins, yet it exposed the flaws in my cultivation method, allowing me to see through the shortcomings in my Dao heart, which led to my current tempering."

"Otherwise, with such a huge flaw in my operation of the Emperor's Heart, if I were to lose to an expert of the same level in the future, I would probably never have a chance to recover."

Wang Yin thought to himself, "On the contrary, after this tempering, I have completely made up for the flaws in my cultivation method, and my future path will surely be smooth sailing."

"Zhang Yu, I shouldn't hate you, I should thank you instead."

"You'll never know how much you've helped me, and you'll never know what a terrifying opponent you've created for yourself."

Sensing Wang Yin's mental state, his mother nodded slightly and said, "You're in good shape. It seems you have indeed changed your mindset and overcome the obstacles in your heart."

Wang Yin smiled slightly and said, "The key to an emperor's heart is not that he cannot fail, but that he is not afraid of failure."

"From this moment on, any failure will only become nourishment, nurturing my Dao heart, and will never again hinder the smooth operation of my cultivation method."

"From now on, I will be the one who controls the mental techniques, rather than being bound by them."

The woman nodded: "What if we encounter Zhang Yu again?"

Wang Yin said calmly, "This ant-like thing is nothing more than someone else's knife from beginning to end. Unless absolutely necessary, I have no interest in taking action against him."

The woman smiled slightly: "Alright, then I'll test your Dao heart again."

After saying that, Wang Yin's mother had a thought, and a light screen was projected in front of the two of them.

Looking at what was playing, Wang Yin asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The woman said calmly, "It's a competition recording from the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University."

"Zhang Yu participated in this competition."

"Let's see a side of Zhang Yu you've never seen before... " Upon hearing Zhang Yu's name, Wang Yin remained expressionless, seemingly without any emotional fluctuation.

But as the video played at an accelerated pace, watching Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang's first half of the battle, Wang Yin's brows furrowed slightly.

He turned his head and forced a smile: "Mom, what's so interesting about this competition?"

The mother said coldly, "Keep watching, open your eyes wide and take a good look at Zhang Yu's appearance in it."

At his mother's insistence, Wang Yin could only continue watching the second half of the battle.

After reading it, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What were Zhang Yu's final results?"

The mother said calmly, "Seventh in the Civil Engineering Department, and awarded the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering by Wanfa University."

She explained the concept of the Seven Wonders of Earth and Wood, and then said, "Zhang Yu has now been accepted as a disciple by the True Lord Qingmu of the Earth and Wood Department."

"It seems that they will be given special attention in the future."

Seeing the change in Wang Yin's expression, his mother continued, "Perhaps in a few years he will pass the military exam and master the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power."

Seeing Wang Yin's rapid breathing, his mother sighed and said, "It seems you haven't truly mended the flaws in your heart."

Wang Yinqiang smiled and said, "Mom, I just need some time to adjust."

"The stronger Zhang Yu is, the greater the effect on tempering my Dao heart, and the better that is."

"The more he wins, the more I win..."

His mother shook her head and sent him the video: "You've disappointed me so much."

"Take more time to look at it."

"Only when you can see the stillness of a deep well, without any further emotional changes, can you say that you have truly healed the flaws in your heart."

……

The day after the civil engineering competition awards were distributed.

With a hint of anticipation, Zhang Yu arrived at the simulated construction site that Director Gao had arranged.

After glancing at Zhang Yu who had arrived, Director Gao said indifferently, "Today I will teach you the second of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, the Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force."

"This skill is the foundation of power among the Seven Wonders. It combines the physical body with internal energy to imitate the power of various geological disasters. Every move and every stance is extremely powerful. It can be used for construction and also for tempering physical strength."

As Director Gao spoke, a colorless aura transformed into a visible wave as he unleashed a punch, violently shaking the earth and erupting with an earthquake-like force.

Then he pressed down with his palm, and the rolling energy seemed to collapse mountains and break peaks, turning the entire land into layers of sand and dust, as if he had arrived in a desert.

“Landslides, earthquakes, mudslides, rock bursts, desertification... every move and style of the Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force can change the terrain.”

"And if it is combined with the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, its power will be multiplied..."

As Director Gao explained, Zhang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the power of this Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The mountain-moving energy unleashed by this technique is like a shockwave; it is not only incredibly powerful and destructive, but it can also cause the earth to tremble."

"And if the driving force is strong enough, it can cause effects similar to earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, and desertification."

Zhang Yu recalled the small three-on-one match that Shi Huaiyu, Ma Xuan, Su Yanyang and others had actually fought in the competition.

"The reason why they can change the terrain, manipulate the mud and sand, and cause various kinds of damage like geological disasters when they use the Minor Three Harmonies is due to the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal and the Great Wilderness Mountain Moving Force."

After Director Gao finished explaining it once, he watched with anticipation as Zhang Yu practiced the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force.

"This kid mastered the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal in 1 hour and 15 minutes last time."

Director Gao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he wondered, "How long will it take to master the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force this time?"

"I've mastered it." After Zhang Yu practiced the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force once in a haphazard way, various memories of practicing this technique surfaced in his mind. He felt that every move was already in his mind, as if he had practiced it again and again.

However, he naturally did not say that he had mastered the martial art. Instead, he demonstrated it a second time in front of Director Gao.

Before coming to receive guidance from Director Gao, he had already consulted with Shi Huaiyu.

It took Shi Huaiyu about three days to fully master the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force.

According to Shi Huaiyu, the fastest student in the history of the Civil Engineering Department to master this technique took about half an hour.

So, after 48 minutes, as Zhang Yu practiced again and again, his moves improved steadily, and he gradually went from a novice to a master.

After all, the memories of how he gradually cultivated the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force were still fresh in his mind, so imitating it again at this moment was a natural progression.

Director Gao, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly in approval as he watched this scene.

In his eyes, Zhang Yu's progress in each rehearsal was almost visible to the naked eye, demonstrating amazing talent.

After 48 minutes, as Zhang Yu unleashed a punch that cracked a large area of ​​the ground in front of him, Director Gao was once again amazed.

"He mastered it in just 48 minutes?"

"I remember even faster ones... almost all of them were fabricated for publicity purposes."

"This kid's talent is truly..."

Zhang Yu looked at Director Gao and said, "Teacher, I've mastered it."

Director Gao nodded and said, "The situation within the department is complicated right now. Who knows when someone might try to get you. Don't tell anyone about your training progress anymore."

After seeing Zhang Yu nod, Director Gao continued, "Next, I'll tell you about the arrangements for taking the military certification exam in the future."
