What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 637 Top 8 (Thanks to '1 kWh Moonlight' for transferring money to Zhang Yu 10 times)
As the battle ended, Zhang Yu, carrying the Yingming Chi, was enveloped in layers of divine light and guided back to his position in the waiting area.

"We finally won."

Zhang Yu glanced at Ying Mingchi, who was now only half-dead, and sighed inwardly at the opponent's powerful physique, which was truly the strongest opponent he had ever encountered.

"Compared to humans, the physical limits of this demon offspring are much stronger, and he almost escaped."

"But... this stuff is getting more and more delicious."

Smelling the aroma of roasted dragon meat emanating from the other person, Zhang Yu felt his stomach rumble and his mouth water.

Zhang Yu wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and the next moment he and Ying Mingchi landed in the waiting area.

Looking at Zhang Yu returning from the battle, Jiu Tianliu's gaze became extremely complicated.

He never expected that Zhang Yu, who had only agreed to gather information about Ying Mingchi for him, would actually be able to defeat him, and even defeat Ying Mingchi in a head-on confrontation.

At that moment, Jiutianliu saw something called ambition in Zhang Yu.

This junior, who grew up in the Department of Civil Engineering, was once looked down upon by him, was once insignificant in Wanfa University, and was never regarded as a rival by him, has unknowingly grown to a level similar to his.

"This junior of mine is only a fifth-year student..."

Jiutianliu thought to himself, "Just how far has his ambition gone?"

Just as Jiutian Liu was looking at Zhang Yu, Kuang Tianqing, who was standing to the side, was also watching Zhang Yu with great interest, thinking to himself, "Has he improved again?"

"Although in this top ten league, almost every student has improved in every match."

"But there are almost no people who have made progress like Zhang Yu."

"No wonder Dao Qiankun values ​​this kid."

"And that kind of hardness..."

Kuang Tianqing recalled the scene from the first team match when she launched a frenzied attack on Zhang Yu at the end.

It can be said that Zhang Yusheng's strength after being transformed into a sculpted form left a deep impression on her.

"What a tough guy, even tougher than I expected during the team competition."

"Hehe, if there's a chance to fight again, should we try to outmaneuver him, or use softness to overcome hardness?"

Kuang Tianqing licked his lips, feeling that Zhang Yu was becoming more and more worthy of being defeated.

boom!
After Zhang Yu returned, he casually tossed the Yingming Chi, which was now only half a dragon body, onto the ground.

On Ying Mingchi's body, various injuries transformed into wave after wave of ocean waves, constantly engulfing his body.

But compared to the physical pain, the anger and shame in his heart caused him even more suffering.

"I actually lost completely to this scum, this demon-blooded discriminator, in a head-on close-quarters combat..."

"A humiliating disgrace... truly a humiliating disgrace."

At this moment, Ying Mingchi didn't even dare to open his eyes, fearing that as soon as he came into contact with the spirit world, he would see all kinds of teasing, criticism, and insults coming like a tsunami.

In particular, Yingmingchi could imagine that a considerable portion of these would come from the demon race.

Besides the blow to his reputation, this defeat also severely damaged Ying Mingchi's long-held values.

"The path to immortality values ​​the human form because it is the most standardized form, the basic form considered by the ten major sects when designing the framework of the path to immortality, and the most suitable form for cultivating various techniques and using various magical artifacts."

"Although the demon bloodline is physically powerful and has different abilities, its potential and adaptability in the path of immortality are therefore inferior to those of human form."

"But now... I've actually lost to him even in terms of physique... lost to a human?"

"Even if we find a celestial technique that can transform human bloodline into demon bloodline... what good would it do?"

He kept thinking, but he could never find the answer.

Just as the thoughts in his heart were collapsing wave after wave, gradually crushing the true dragon completely, Ying Mingchi suddenly sensed a familiar feeling from Zhang Yu's gaze.

That was the gaze of a demon looking at another demon.

The scene of Zhang Yu creating dragon beasts on the field reappeared in Ying Mingchi's mind.

There's also the image of him fighting himself head-on in a sea of ​​fire.

Ultimately, all these images converged and transformed into lines of text explaining the theory of the common origin of humans and demons.

"Humans are also demons."

"Perhaps Zhang Yu also defeated me because he reverted to his ancestral ways and awakened his human demon bloodline."

Ying Mingchi thought to himself, "I didn't lose to a human; I just lost to another demon."

Zhang Yu was so overwhelmed by the meaty aroma emanating from Ying Mingchi that he simply opened his eyes and looked at the other battles.

Besides him and Jiutian Liu, Yan Xiang from Youming University and Cang Shenyu from Jingang University had also completed their battles long ago.

Yan Xiang defeated Xu Haixuan, the top student in the Talisman Department of Wanfa University, while Cang Shenyu defeated Di Lianzhong, the top student in the White Bone University. Besides these, three matches are still ongoing.

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and the image of Tian Shenggong and Yan Qianji fighting appeared in his mind's eye.

Both sides are experts in weapon crafting, but their fighting styles are completely different.

Tian Shenggong commands military-grade puppets that are hundreds of meters tall, while Yan Qianji commands a vast army of military-grade puppets covering the mountains and plains.

In particular, Yan Qianji's puppet army gave Zhang Yu a sense of familiarity just from their appearance, making him feel as if he were seeing Dao Qiankun, Kuang Tianqing, or even himself.

Zhang Yu found Tian Sheng Gong's giant military-grade puppet even more familiar.

The application of various earthly gravitational forces, as well as water vapor condensation, lightning sweeping, demon-like structures, spiritual pollution... Zhang Yu felt as if he were watching students from various schools in the top ten leagues being stitched together.

"Damn it, the Extreme Tiger Battle Strategy, isn't that plagiarism? Isn't that copyright infringement?"

Zhang Yu immediately reported the situation to An Zhenzhen, the coach of the school team.

The bad news is that Tian Sheng Gong's technology can at most be considered as borrowing, not plagiarism, because with the technical support of Xianbing University and Jihu Group, they cleverly bypassed all the technology copyrights and barely avoided infringement.

The good news is that this approach makes the various technological applications showcased by Tian Sheng Gong far inferior to the original.

Even worse news is that the current state of Tian Sheng Gong is far from its peak.

Anzhen Zhenjun: If he's willing to fight in a critical moment, his strength could probably rise several levels.
Anzhen Zhenjun: If the Immortal Soldier University or the Extreme Tiger Group were willing to spend money on him for battle...

Anzhen Zhenjun: Then he's probably capable of fighting Kuang Tianqing.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

He understood that all the order in Kunxu was built on its own economic system. For example, when it came to infringement, it was never because people were afraid of breaking the law that they refrained from infringing, but because they were afraid of losing money or going bankrupt.

If the profits from infringement far exceed the losses caused by infringement, then the people of Kunxu will only engage in large-scale infringement.

For example, the current top ten leagues are related to the ownership of immortal sect techniques, and each student may receive support from the school.

Considering the sheer size of the top ten sects, the losses from infringement caused by a mere Foundation Establishment stage individual battle are utterly insignificant compared to the profits brought by immortal sect techniques.

With Yan Qianji's puppet army being defeated one by one, Tian Shenggong had won the battle in the blink of an eye.

Another battle between Wen Wuyai and Mu Qiansi flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes.

However, when he looked at the scene, the battle had already been decided, with Wen Wuyai defeating Mu Qiansi.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but step back and quickly scanned the battle sequence.

Zhang Yu originally thought that the key to this battle would be distance.

To his surprise, Wen Wuyai never intended to engage Mu Qiansi in a roundabout way from the beginning. Instead, he confronted Mu Qiansi head-on and demonstrated a strong resistance to the Hehuan technique.

What Zhang Yu didn't know was that Wen Wuyai had already completed the modification surgery before the battle even began, turning himself into an asexual person.

Furthermore, he had Bai Zhenzhen use the Seven Emotions Sword Technique to temporarily erase his various emotions, allowing him to begin the battle with absolute rationality and calmness.

He even specially adjusted Wen Wuyai's eye sockets so that he couldn't tell if he was male or female, or whether he was beautiful or ugly.

Faced with Wen Wuyai, whose resistance to dual cultivation of the body had increased dramatically, Mu Qiansi tried to use the spirit realm to launch a dual cultivation attack, planting the seeds of affection in his mind.

This was Wen Wuyai's goal: to pull Mu Qiansi from the battlefield of dual cultivation to the battlefield of communication, which was his forte.

After reviewing the battle, Zhang Yu turned his attention to the battle he cared about most and was most looking forward to.

Suddenly, a scene of Ying Zhoufan and Bai Zhenzhen facing off appeared on the screen.

At this moment, Ying Zhoufan transformed into a giant black eagle, moving at high speed through the atmosphere, roaming the entire battlefield like a bolt of lightning.

Bai Zhenzhen stood rooted to the spot, her face ashen, the murderous intent on her face growing ever stronger.

Ying Zhoufan felt a chill run down his spine. He felt that Bai Zhenzhen was looking at him as if he were a mortal enemy.

"No..." Ying Zhoufan thought to himself, "I don't owe him any money, do I? Could it be that this woman... is also a severe case of discrimination against demons?"

Considering that Bai Zhenzhen seemed to have a good relationship with Zhang Yu, Ying Zhoufan became even more certain of this.

In Bai Zhenzhen's eyes, the video of Kuang Tianqing and Zhang Yu was being played over and over again, except that Kuang Tianqing's profile picture had been changed to Ying Zhoufan.

Bai Zhenzhen knew it was all fake, but her emotions were not unaffected by the illusion. The surging sword energy changed from crimson to deep red, and then gradually turned into dark red, becoming more and more profound.

Upon returning to the waiting area after his victory, Wen Wuyai watched this scene and thought to himself, "The Extreme Emotion Sword Path was already an evil path, and I heard that Zhenzhen is now using a fake cultivation method, which makes it even more evil."

Wen Wuyai recalled some records of Extreme Emotion Sword Dao practitioners that he had read, many of whom promoted Extreme Emotion Sword Dao by creating illusions, dreams, fake photos, and fake videos.

However, with repeated attempts, many practitioners eventually became unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, unable to differentiate between fake and real videos, and ultimately went completely insane.

At the same time, black sword energy pierced through Ying Zhoufan's body, and Bai Zhenzhen won the battle.

At this point, only eight players remained in the top ten leagues.
