Chapter 498 The Great Sage's Successor 4 (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Early March.

Tianyao University.

Xiangshan, a student from the Civil Engineering Department, walked through the breeding farm of the Breeding Department.

His enormous size made him resemble a small mountain, and every step he took caused the ground to tremble, startling the surrounding cubs.

However, when he saw the top student in the breeding department in front of him, Xiangshan also raised his trunk and slightly restrained his arrogance.

The top student in the breeding department who appeared in front of him was a pig demon that was over 8 meters tall and had a body like a mountain of flesh.

The pig demon wore a string of Buddhist beads around its neck, its body brimming with powerful energy, and beneath its skin seemed to be countless demonic faces struggling and emitting mournful howls.

The pig demon opened its mouth and spat out a large number of fresh piglets covered in mucus. These piglets fell into the farm and struggled to eat.

Xiangshan knew that this pig demon was named Zhu Mian Seng. He was not only a prodigy in the breeding department of Tianyao University, but also a participant in several sessions of the Top Ten Leagues, and the master of three military-grade powers.

The red-faced monk gasped for breath a few times, then slowly said, "Xiangshan, why are you here looking for me instead of preparing for the competition?"

If it were an ordinary civil engineering student or a top student, the Crimson-Faced Monk probably wouldn't even bother with him.

However, Xiangshan is not just an ordinary top student in the Civil Engineering Department, but a rare genius who has mastered two military-grade powers and has even qualified to participate in the Top Ten Leagues.

For example, in this Civil Engineering final, Zhu Mian Seng knew that if Xiang Shan could defeat Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin, two practitioners of military-grade techniques, he would be allowed to participate in the school team as a Civil Engineering student.

To the countless demon descendants of the Heavenly Demon University, this was nothing short of a groundbreaking event, defying the laws of nature and breaking through the limitations of profession and ethnicity.

But the Crimson-Faced Monk knew that this was a racial reform that some of the demon race's higher-ups wanted to promote, to change the habit of students at the Heavenly Demon University choosing majors based on their race, and to further stimulate their potential.

Zhu Mian Seng didn't care about this, or rather, his mind was only on the top ten leagues a few months later. If Xiang Shan could prove that he was good enough to be his teammate, he wouldn't mind if Xiang Shan joined the school team.

Xiangshan said calmly, "I would like to ask to borrow your Dharma Body for a moment."

The red-faced monk twitched his pig-like snout and said, "You want to breed their bloodline offspring on the spot while defeating Wanfa?"

Xiangshan said, "I know that our school has been secretly operating a human breeding farm, just like the breeding of the demon race, to breed a group of humans for production and research."

"The breeding department must have a lot of experience in this area by now, right?"

The red-faced monk curled his lip and said, "I can lend you my bionic physical body, but the technology of the Jade Nectar God is said to involve many immortal techniques such as physical bodies, bloodlines, reproduction, and cultivation methods."

"It's hard to say how much useful information we can get from just one Zhang Yu."

Xiangshan smiled slightly and said, "At least there are quite a few people who want to buy materials, breed his offspring, and then make them into live specimens on the spot. This does not violate human breeding laws, and the materials can be recycled and sold for money."

"What's more..."

Elephant Mountain's trunk snapped back, and its tusks bulged out: "If I don't ruthlessly suppress these two, how will the Heavenly Demon race know my strength? How will they willingly see me break my old habits and join the school team?"

After leaving the breeding farm with the bionic remains of the Crimson-Faced Monk, Elephant Mountain's gaze suddenly sharpened; he had already received further news about the finals in a few days.

Aside from all the other arrangements, he focused his attention on the champion's prize.

"Design blueprints for military-grade armor... This armor is... the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor?"

……

On the simulated construction site of Wanfa University City.

Under the control of the invisible earthly gravitational force, a large area of ​​mud and sand was tightly bound in mid-air.

At the same time, the three jade discs behind Zhang Yu resembled three suns. After shining brightly once, the jade discs on the left and right sides shot out beams of red light, which poured into the jade disc in the middle.

Immediately afterwards, the golden jade disc in the center shone brightly with a red light, shooting out a blazing ray of sunlight as thick as an arm, which slammed into the mud and sand in front of it.

In the blink of an eye, the mud and sand crystallized rapidly under the high temperature, turning into pieces of glass-like material.

Next, Zhang Yu tried injecting his Deep Cold Magic into the Golden Jade Wall to release Deep Cold Rays for cooling.

Then I tried the effect of the level 2 Deep Cold Meridian, attempting to transfer the heat out of my body.

Watching the three golden jade discs flash in turn, and then the deep-cold rays that shot out continuously heated the mud and sand in front of him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected, I can use the deep-cold meridian in conjunction with the golden jade discs to remotely transfer the heat out of my body."

"In this way, as long as I continue to circulate the Deep Frost Meridian and the Golden Jade Wall during battle, I can continuously cool myself down while constantly warming up the opponent."

Zhang Yu thought to himself that this was equivalent to constantly giving himself buffs while constantly giving the opponent negative effects. With one buff and one debuff, the difference in combat power between the two sides could be widened over time.

In addition to increasing the number of Golden Jade Discs to three these days, Zhang Yu has also begun practicing the third technique of the Chain Magic Diagram Set Refining Prodigy.

The technique is called the Divine Mirror of Fire Control. It requires purchasing various types of fire seeds to condense a stream of fire-controlling true energy, which can control various types of true fire and improve the efficiency and quality of material refining during weapon crafting.

With the addition of other expenses such as maintaining magical artifacts and practicing weapon-refining techniques, Zhang Yu's savings suddenly dropped to less than 10 spirit coins.

Fortunately, he usually used the three jade discs for his employees to use while they worked, which increased his daily passive income by about 0.03 to 0.04 spirit coins.

"Fortunately, the more magic treasures you have, the more production resources you have, and the higher your passive income will be. Otherwise, the multi-magic-treasure tactic is really not something a poor person like me can use." Of course, Zhang Yu updated the Golden Jade Wall not simply to make money, but also to consider the tactical coordination during the finals.

"In my Mountain-Moving Warrior form, I unleashed the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, unleashing the Double Heaven Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power... Although its power was unparalleled, it could not be sustained."

"It's fine if I encounter opponents whose strength is inferior to mine, but if I face an opponent whose strength is superior to mine head-on, then fighting like this will actually put me at a disadvantage."

At this moment, Zhang Yu recalled Mo Shangjin's words.

……

That was a reminder Mo Shangjin gave Zhang Yu during training not long ago, after he recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital.

"Zhang Yu, although the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force is formidable, it is mainly manifested in the transformation of the environment."

"It can be said that the larger the range of effect, the stronger the power that the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power can unleash."

"On the contrary, the smaller the range of effect, the more difficult it is for the Earthly Fiend Gravity to exert its effect."

"Therefore, when dealing with individual units, if the power is insufficient to suppress them, then the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power can be used as the best crowd control skill."

Mo Shangjin sighed, "Xiangshan, whom we will fight next, is a case in point. To deal with him... we must both use the power of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force to control and restrain him, and wear him down little by little."

Zhang Yu asked with some surprise, "Is Xiangshan that powerful? Can't the two of us defeat him head-on?"

Mo Shangjin nodded: "Besides their military-grade cultivation technique 'Mount Sumeru King Sutra' from the Earth and Wood system, Xiangshan probably also possesses a military-grade Dharma Body this year."

Zhang Yu: "Military-grade weaponry?"

Mo Shangjin sighed, "It is said that shortly after he passed the military certification exam, he won a design blueprint for a military-grade magic skeleton in a lottery."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse, "Lottery? Winning the design blueprints for a military-grade magnum opus? Damn it... they've gone so far as to shamelessly use connections."

Mo Shangjin said quietly, "Ever since he obtained this blueprint, Xiangshan has been making money to hire people to help him refine this Dharma Body."

“When I fought him last year, this Dharma Body was not yet fully completed, but it was enough to suppress me head-on.”

"He has been working hard to make money all year, and he has probably finished completing this military-grade artifact."

After saying that, Mo Shangjin told Zhang Yu about Xiangshan's combat characteristics, techniques, and various manifestations of his Dharma Body. He also sent Zhang Yu the video recording of last year's competition so that Zhang Yu could learn more about Xiangshan.

The more Zhang Yu understood Xiangshan's strength, the more he realized why Mo Shangjin, despite his formidable power, had lost to him last year.

"Two military-grade weapons, that's practically cheating in the Civil Engineering department."

"However, with both Mo Shangjin and I fighting him this year, our chances of winning are not small."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, further news about the finals arrived.

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the arrangements of time, location, and personnel, finally settling on the military-grade armor design blueprints for the prize.

At first, Zhang Yu didn't care much about this. After all, although he had embarked on the path of weapon crafting, he was currently mainly crafting magical treasures and didn't know much about armor.

"Azure Crystal Armor?"

But as he clicked on the design blueprints of this military-grade armor and looked at its description, a line of small print appeared before his eyes.

"A successor of the Great Sage?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. He then looked at the line of text, and the armor introduction page popped up again. He went back in several times.

"Is he really a descendant of the Great Sage?"

"Why would a design blueprint for a military-grade armor set... suddenly appear with a chainmail pattern?"

Zhang Yu knew that the Chain Technique Diagram sets were all created by combining different cultivation techniques.

For example, the successor of the Great Sage includes three mental techniques: the Soul-Suppressing Technique of the Wild Ox, the Body-Sacrificing Technique of the Broken Ox, and the Infinite Inner Dharma Body.

"Could it be that the design blueprints for the Azure Crystal Armor... also include a set of cultivation techniques?"

Zhang Yu wasn't sure, but a slight sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

After all, for a long time, the Great Sage's successor only collected the Wild Ox Soul Suppression Technique and the Broken Ox Body Sacrifice Technique of this Chain Magic Diagram Set.

The later Boundless Mind Inner Dharma Body was still a dark technique found deep in the spirit world.

Besides this, what other techniques does the Great Sage's successor possess? Zhang Yu has had absolutely no clue about them.

He had always suspected that the relevant techniques were either lost or, like the Boundless Mind Inner Dharma Body, were unrecorded techniques not found in the Taoist canons of the Ten Great Sects.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The design drawings for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor were also passed down from above. It's probably something that universities didn't have until this Civil Engineering finals... that it has reappeared in the world."

　The fan title event (final) in early July, and the monthly ticket voting for a flying sword draw, ends at midnight tonight.
