Chapter 621 Breeding Monsters
The Azure Crystal Armor is composed of thousands of scales that adhere to the body like a layer of skin, radiating a jade-like turquoise light and giving a feeling of warmth and smoothness, like flowing water.

For Zhang Yu, the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor was closely connected to his flesh and blood. Not only did it constantly channel its magic power into the armor, but it also maintained a constant exchange of blood and energy with Zhang Yu, just like another organ of his.

"Calling it an organ isn't accurate either, as it doesn't have nerve or blood vessel connections, and it's still different from a Dharma body."

As Zhang Yu sensed the operation of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, he thought to himself, "It's more like a relationship between a magic weapon and a magical body."

As someone who had mastered the relevant weapon-refining techniques, Zhang Yu had a feeling when he looked through the blueprints for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

"According to the history of the development of weapon crafting technology, the Dharma Body is gradually derived from magical treasures. It is through the research of countless people that magical treasures are gradually combined into the body. After repeated upgrades and replacements, it eventually becomes a new body organ."

"And armor like the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor is somewhat like the intermediate state in which some magical artifacts gradually evolved into magical bodies during the course of history."

"However, it is not a real historical artifact, but rather it is inspired by that design concept."

As Zhang Yu entered the water, the powerful functions of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor became increasingly apparent.

Zhang Yu not only felt his physique and strength increase under the blessing of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, but the surrounding water flow seemed to become an extension of his will.

As soon as Zhang Yu had a thought, a water field swept around him, propelling him and the sword box forward at high speed underwater like whirlpools.

With a deafening boom, propelled by the divine power of the Kunlun Mountains, Zhang Yu's speed increased once again, continuing to advance at high speed along the race route.

At the same time, Zhang Yu's vigilance increased, because he knew that in the underwater racing stage, the contestants could attack each other.

As the target of countless people wanting to capitalize on his popularity, Zhang Yu would be on his guard whenever he saw other contestants.

His current ranking appeared in his eyes.

"I was the fourth one to set off; there were three people ahead of me."

"The first person we should surpass is Ling Pojun."

With the combined power of the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Force and the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, Zhang Yu's speed was indeed very fast, and he caught up with Ling Pojun in the blink of an eye.

Before the other person could react, Zhang Yu had already left them behind amidst the raging waves.

A number flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes: "We've climbed to 3rd place."

As Ling Pojun was moving at full speed, he felt a violent wave crashing against him, and then a dark shadow quickly passed over him and charged forward.

"Zhang Yu?!" Ling Pojun was startled and urged his Water-Repelling Pearl to accelerate forward, but found that no matter how fast he accelerated, he could only watch Zhang Yu's figure getting further and further away from him, just like a large amount of traffic and popularity getting further and further away from him.

Ling Pojun sighed inwardly, "Damn it...it's so fast?"

Zhang Yu quickly shook off Ling Pojun, watching the jungle-like coral reefs flash by in his eyes, and seeing large schools of fish swept away by the waves as he dashed forward. He thought to himself, "Not bad."

"It's faster than I expected."

"This underwater racing challenge is really suitable for me."

At the same time, as Zhang Yu continued to accelerate, his blood and qi surged within him, and he could feel himself and the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor becoming more and more in sync.

Especially with the roars of the four white bulls in his mind, his flesh and blood seemed to come alive, constantly touching the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, as if trying to completely merge with it.

"As expected, it is the 'Broken Ox's Self-Sacrifice Technique' and the 'Boundless Inner Dharma Body,' these two techniques passed down from the Great Sage... Have they resonated with the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor?"

And from within the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor emanated a longing, a longing for "blood".

However, Zhang Yu had this feeling as early as when he first put on the armor, and he had even tried it with his own blood... but it didn't work.

Zhang Yu guessed that this might be related to the hidden dark techniques within the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

"Is it only blood that can activate it?"

"But what kind of blood do we need? Whose blood?"

While pondering, Zhang Yu gradually slowed down in the water and stopped at the registration area.

This underwater race requires you to follow the map's guidance, circle the sea-like underwater area, pass through 18 zones in sequence, and complete the registration in each zone.

The registration method involves finding the registration equipment within the area and then using your own relay ball to complete the registration.

With a pat of his sword box, Zhang Yu unleashed 24 flying swords that shot out like swimming fish, instantly creating a sword realm that probed in all directions.

"The detection technology that this test will test happens to be one of my strengths."

With the 24 flying swords detecting from different directions, the entire terrain data appeared in Zhang Yu's eyes.

At the same time, he detected some subtle spiritual signals.

A moment later, a black sphere appeared in front of Zhang Yu. With a collision between the black sphere and the relay ball in his hand, he completed the registration, and the black sphere shattered and lost its function.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "So they really are all disposable? I have to find a new registration device every time."

With a casual toss away the shattered black sphere, Zhang Yu accelerated, creating a waterspout as he shot towards the next area.

At the same time, an idea popped into Zhang Yu's mind.

"Searching through each area one by one is too slow."

So, upon arriving at the next level area, they began to control their flying swords to search for the registration orbs.

As the scales of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor trembled, another wave of water spread out.

"Let's try this trick and see if it works."

As the water splashed back, a large group of fish was caught in front of Zhang Yu.

Then, streams of demonic energy emanated from the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor and flowed into the school of fish. The flesh and blood of these fish throbbed violently and gradually transformed into demonic beasts at a visible speed.

……

Just as Zhang Yu was searching for the registration ball, he began to breed monsters using the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor.

Many students and teachers were already waiting at the finish line. Dao Qiankun watched the race on the live stream and heard someone say, "Xue Jiuyou started first because of Kuang Tianqing's absolute lead in the previous round, and he is still in first place now."

"Then, taking over the relay ball from Bai Zhenzhen, Yu Yun, the second to start, merged his sword with his body and broke through the waves. His speed was incredibly fast, and he was getting closer and closer to Xue Jiuyou. It seems that he will become the first soon."

"Oh? Zhang Yu's underwater speed is also very fast, surpassing Ling Pojun and now ranking third."

Seeing this, Anzhen Zhenjun nodded slightly and said, "Did you already know that Zhang Yu was good at underwater racing, so you chose him first?"

Dao Qiankun smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought that far ahead. Anyway, no matter how far behind they are in the first few rounds, I will catch up in the last round."

"I chose Zhang Yu simply because I wanted to bring him into the final."

"After all... he's going to put me on the throne."

Anzhen Zhenjun naturally didn't believe this reason, thinking to himself, "Is it because he doesn't trust others? For example... Jiutian Liu?"

Seeing the team composed of Jiutian Liu and other finance departments from different schools, Anzhen Zhenjun was not surprised.

After all, the rules of this competition meant that it was impossible for all the students in a team to be from the same school.

Aside from the two distinct camps of the Heavenly Demon Four Schools and the Myriad Laws Four Schools, which do not mix and choose each other to avoid the other side setting traps for them, there are quite a few people within the four schools who mix and choose each other.

In any case, from a broader perspective, the four schools joining forces was also the idea of ​​the school leaders, who only hoped to find a way to advance more teams and more students from the same camp in this stage.

"Hmm?" Anzhen Zhenjun suddenly frowned and said, "Why hasn't Zhang Yu left yet? Is he breeding demonic beasts? At this time?"

Seeing this scene, not only was Anzhen Zhenjun puzzled, but many people at the scene also felt confused.

Just then, a voice came from the surroundings: "Jiutian Liu has set off."

"So fast!!"

A deafening roar erupted in the live stream, and Jiutian Liu was seen riding a shuttle-shaped magical artifact, darting through the water like lightning.

Anzhen Zhenjun thought to himself, "The Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle is a military-grade magic weapon from the financial sector."

"The wealthy in the finance department value winning without fighting and cherish their lives the most. This Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle is known as the number one military-grade magic weapon for escaping."

"With this treasure, Jiutian Liu should have no problem getting first place in this round."

Just as Anzhen Zhenjun had thought, Jiutian Liu arrived at the first registration point in the blink of an eye.

As the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle transformed into eighty-one illusory images and swept back and forth, it quickly found the black registration ball, completed the registration, and then headed to the next area.

In a short time, Jiutian Liu caught up with Zhang Yu, who was in the process of breeding demonic beasts, and then continued to sprint towards the first and second place positions.

"Now Jiutianliu is third and Zhang Yu is fourth."

At the same time, another runner started from the starting line.

"The twilight threads are being activated!"

"Is that her swimsuit? Wow!"

"As expected of the prodigy of Hehuan University, just looking at him made me complete a cultivation."

……

"Zhang Yu, keep up the good work!"

"I go first."

See you at the finish line.

Zhang Yu could only vaguely see a series of text projections left in the water before the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle ridden by Jiu Tian Liu gradually disappeared from his sight.

"So fast."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "As expected, even with the speed of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor and the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, I am still not the fastest person in this race. Even if I keep traveling, I will still be caught up in the end. After all, the area where these two military-grade powers are most proficient is not underwater speed."

"I can't just rely on rushing ahead to compete for a ranking in this stage."

Shaking his head, Zhang Yu cleared his mind of distractions and continued to breed the monsters before him.

A moment later, because Zhang Yu stopped, Ling Pojun, whom he had just overtaken, overtook him again, causing Zhang Yu to drop to 5th place.

At the same time, within his water area, fish-shaped demonic beasts, infused with the demonic energy transformed from the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, gradually grew to more than two meters long, with arms sprouting from their bellies.

Through the spiritual realm connection of the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, he can remotely control these demonic beasts.

"Finally finished."

"Go."

With a thought from Zhang Yu, the large group of fish demons in front of him suddenly dispersed and gradually disappeared from his sight.

Just then, a sound seemed to transcend the ripples of the water and reach Zhang Yu's ears.

"Zhang Yu".

Zhang Yu suddenly turned his head and saw a familiar face appear not far away, approaching him.

"Ah Zhen?"

Ah Zhen smiled slightly, exuding an unusual charm, and walked step by step through the water to Zhang Yu.

"Zhang Yu..."

Seeing Zhang Yu's slightly dazed expression, A-Zhen smiled and reached out her hand to grab the relay ball in his arms.

But in the next moment, Zhang Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he suddenly unleashed a powerful palm strike aimed at Ah Zhen's chest.
