Chapter 479 Even Civil Engineering Can Produce Dragons (Thanks to 'Xuan Yuan Qing Huan' for feeding Fu Ji and making her a leader of the alliance)

Beside the civil engineering competition venue.

Unlike the audience seats in the spirit world, the audience seats prepared specifically for the real world were almost empty.

After all, even if people really want to watch the battle, most of them will do so directly from the spirit world, and very few people will actually be there in their physical bodies to watch the battle.

Meanwhile, in the audience, Bai Zhenzhen stood alone at the highest point, watching the competition unfold.

However, at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen activated the power of her divine root, and she was like a wisp of air, attracting no attention from anyone.

This hidden ability of possessing divine roots allows her to avoid people she doesn't want to see and things she doesn't want to encounter, making herself disappear from this world.

However, the Divine Root can only hide her alone and cannot take Zhang Yu with her to disappear, which is why this move was not used to transfer the Divine Root before.

After all, hiding oneself alone would only make things more suspicious and arouse doubt.

Especially if Zhang Yu fails to control the divine root immediately after it is transferred, the divine root may suddenly manifest.

Although Zhang Yu also possessed a divine spiritual root, he was not adept at concealing his abilities. Furthermore, he considered that when the two exchanged spiritual roots, the intense stimulation from the divine spiritual root would inevitably cause them to lose control. Therefore, he did not intend to rely on his concealment abilities to recklessly exchange spiritual roots, as that would be too risky.

If someone was spying on them at that time, it would lead to the worst possible situation.

On the field, thunder rumbled continuously.

Then, streaks of fire, like shooting stars, shot towards Zhang Yu like raindrops, shattering the atmosphere and creating thunderous roars.

At the same time, news of the Seven Emotions God appeared in Bai Zhenzhen's eyes.

Seven Emotions God: Watching Zhang Yu's competition?

Bai Zhenzhen: Hmm

Seven Emotions God: The gap between you two is widening.

On the field, Zhang Yu suddenly unleashed the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power. The violent Earthly Fiend Gravity was like a black hole, deflecting the incoming meteors and sending them crashing to the ground.

Bai Zhenzhen: Zhang Yu has mastered military-grade martial arts; he's closing in on me step by step.

Seven Emotions God: But he's from the Earth and Wood element, and he's mastered the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, which means he's already deeply rooted in the Earth and Wood element and can't leave the construction site.

Bai Zhenzhen: Earth and Wood systems can also produce dragons.
Seven Emotions God: Perhaps.
Seven Emotions God: But was Zhang Yu back then still the Zhang Yu you knew?

Seven Emotions God: Did you tell me about his participation in the Yin Artifact experiment and the resulting upgrade in his cultivation technique?
Seven Emotions God: I am not an old-fashioned person who opposes dual cultivation.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Dual cultivation broadens the boundaries of one's path to immortality and strengthens its foundation, which is a good thing for most cultivators.

Seven Emotions God: But once a person begins to taste the sweetness of dual cultivation, starts to manipulate their own desires and emotions, and grows stronger in the process, they will no longer cherish these things.

The Seven Emotions God: He's now a guinea pig for the Yin Weapon experiments, reaping immense benefits from it. He'll gradually become a different person. Emotions and dual cultivation are merely bargaining chips and resources for his cultivation; they're no longer suitable for you, who are practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Path.
Bai Zhenzhen: I believe Zhang Yu

The Seven Emotions God: The poor cannot withstand trials.

Bai Zhenzhen didn't speak, but she couldn't help but recall the scene when she met Zhang Yu today, and the conversation between Zhang Yu and Wen Wuyai.

If it were the Zhang Yu of the past, he would have decisively rejected Wen Wuyai without the slightest hesitation, right?
Is it because they participated in the genital experiments and benefited from them that things have changed now?
And when we were together today, Zhang Yu seemed to be eager to... transfer her divine root?

Finally, having himself come to watch the competition seems to be part of a scheme to transfer his spiritual roots...

Bai Zhenzhen's expression suddenly shifted as she thought to herself, "Has Zhang Yu really changed? Is he no longer the same person he was in high school?"

Seven Emotions God: Whether Zhang Yu ends up building bridges or roads is none of my concern. I just don't want your Extreme Emotions Sword Path to suffer a backlash and waste your precious time.

Bai Zhenzhen didn't speak, but her gaze shifted, continuing to look towards the arena.

Then, streaks of meteors shot into the sky, covering most of the arena.

……

Gazing at the overwhelming scene that resembled a meteor shower washing over the earth, Zhang Yu took a deep breath. His palm prints changed, and patches of earthly gravitational force condensed into clusters, like black holes rising into the sky, devouring the falling meteors.

The Ten Phases of Saturn - Stardust Binding
On the other side, large sections of the mountain rise into the air, forming an aerial fortress that protects the Tianjian University construction site layer upon layer.

Yue Guanqiong stood proudly atop the mountain. With a light tap of his finger, the Great Freedom Instant Prison Sword Qi poured into a large area of ​​rocks, like a meteor falling to earth, traversing the sky and covering the location of the University of Ten Thousand Laws.

"As my offensive intensified."

"How long can you hold out?"

Yue Guanqiong chuckled softly, and behind him, a series of quietly floating flying swords were ready to be unleashed.

……

In the audience seats of the spirit world.

Wan Gouxuan from Immortal Soldier University was intently watching the arena below. He thought to himself, "The Great Freedom Instantaneous Prison Sword Qi of Heavenly Sword University can attach itself to all things, turning grass, trees, bamboo, stones, soil, and gravel into flying swords that shoot out. Not only can it carry out ultra-long-range construction, but the sharp sword qi it contains can also destroy mountains and shatter rocks."

"It has high construction efficiency, can adapt to most construction environments, has no requirements for tools, and has low construction costs... It is a top-notch large-scale civil engineering construction method."

Thinking of this, Wan Gouxuan sighed, "Zhang Yu has been completely suppressed at Wanfa University."

“Zhang Yu already has to expend more energy to defend against Yue Guanqiong’s flying sword attacks, not to mention that Yue Guanqiong’s strength is greater than Zhang Yu’s.”

"If he hadn't pushed his cultivation technique to level 16 through some kind of experiment with yin artifacts, the situation would probably be even worse."

At this point, a hint of envy flashed through Wan Gouxuan's mind. How long did it take him to cultivate a military-grade technique from level 10 to level 16? Zhang Yu in front of him had actually made such a leap in such a short time? How could he not be envious?

But what comforted Wan Gouxuan was that this leap could not ultimately allow Zhang Yu to catch up with Yue Guanqiong.

Wan Gouxuan commented, "If Zhang Yu wants to win now, he must break through to the next level. Staying in place and becoming a target... it's only a matter of time before he loses the match."

Beside Wan Gouxuan, Xiangshan from Tianyao University curled his trunk and said calmly, "Didn't you notice that Zhang Yu blocked all of Yue Guanqiong's attacks?"

"All the attacks?" Wan Gouxuan was slightly taken aback and said, "He blocked all the flying swords that Yue Guanqiong shot out?"

Xiangshan said, "It was to cover for his teammates, because he had no other choice."

"If the construction site of Tianjian University were on the ground, Zhang Yu could travel there by burrowing underground. With the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force, he could cause the mountains and the earth to collapse at Tianjian University."

"But the construction site of Tianjian University is located in the sky, which not only greatly reduces the threat posed by the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, but also allows Yue Guanqiong to attack the construction site of Wanfa University at any time."

"Because the attack range of the Great Freedom Instant Prison Sword Qi far exceeds that of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, Yue Guanqiong can pose a threat to everyone at Wanfa University from a distance, even outside of Zhang Yu's attack range."

Xiangshan analyzed, "With his cultivation technique restrained, his cultivation level suppressed, and his tactics completely countered, Zhang Yu's only option is to cover his teammates and help them complete the formation quickly, so that with the support of the formation, they can find a possibility to turn the tide."

"So now, let's see how long he can hold out against Yue Guanqiong's offensive."

Watching Zhang Yu accurately capture each shooting star streaking across the sky and fall to the earth, Xiangshan exclaimed, "Zhang Yu's martial arts talent is truly astonishing."

"Whether it's control, activation speed, or activation range... he unleashed the full power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force, perfectly capturing every move of Yue Guanqiong."

"But the current Moon Gazing Dome is far from being at full strength."

At this point, Wan Gouxuan, who was standing to the side, asked with some doubt, "Why does Yue Guanqiong use these ordinary materials to attack? If he were to use flying swords directly..."

Xiangshan said, "It's because of Mo Shangjin."

The elephant demon from Tianyao University slowly said, "He was worried that defeating Zhang Yu too early would cause Mo Shangjin to buy back and come out, so he was stalling for time, gradually increasing the stakes, so that his teammates could have more time to set up formations and build defensive fortifications."

Moments later, streaks of sword energy rose from the aerial fortress of Tianjian University.

Xiangshan's eyes flickered: "Yue Guanqiong's offensive is about to escalate."

……

Like magical artifacts, flying swords can also be divided into teaching grade, professional grade, enterprise grade, and even higher military grade and immortal sect grade.

At this moment, a series of teaching-level flying swords were poised to be unleashed in front of Yue Guanqiong.

If Zhang Yu were closer, he would have discovered that these flying swords were the temporary flying swords that Su Yanyang and the others had rented.

It's not that Yue Guanqiong doesn't want to use a better flying sword, but rather that the teaching-grade flying sword is more cost-effective and gives her more peace of mind when using it.

Yue Guanqiong looked in Zhang Yu's direction and said calmly, "The skirmish is over."

As the Great Freedom Instantaneous Prison Sword Qi was activated, one after another temporary flying swords shot into the sky with a whoosh, bringing with them heavy air waves and thunderous sounds, sweeping towards Zhang Yu at several times the speed of sound.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened: "It's here? The real flying sword attack."

Almost a moment ago, the sword shadow was still floating above the aerial fortress, and the next moment it was already within a hundred meters of Zhang Yu.

Amidst the booming flashes of lightning, the Thunder Suppressing Seal was activated repeatedly, unleashing streaks of lightning that constantly deflected the flying swords' assassinations.

At the same time, the Earth-Suppressing Seal was also activated, forming an aura around Zhang Yu, further hindering the piercing of the flying sword.

But amidst the flashes of lightning, the deflected flying sword traced a graceful trajectory, then adjusted its direction like swimming fish, continuing its attack on Zhang Yu.

The flying sword unleashed bursts of sharp sword energy, tearing apart the aura of the Earth-Suppressing Seal and continuing its slash towards Zhang Yu's location.

Although the protective magic weapon failed to completely block the flying sword's attack, it gave Zhang Yu more room to react, allowing him to successfully activate the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power and grab the flying sword in front of him.

Amidst the crackling and exploding sounds, a flying sword, suppressed by the divine power of the Kunlun Mountains, shattered into countless fragments.

But before the soul cultivators working for Zhang Yu could rejoice, each fragment emitted a sharp aura, transforming from a single flying sword into dozens or even hundreds of flying swords, continuing to slay Zhang Yu.

Seeing this, Mo Shangjin said in the competition group: "Look, this is how it was ruined last year."
