As Zhang Yu listened to Tu Lishan's words, his eyes gradually lit up. "Formation?"

He had already encountered Formation in his daily life back in high school.

Whether it was the Spirit Gathering Formation at Songyang High School, the Guiding Grand Array at the Central Building, or the Mountain Protecting Grand Array in the Protected Area... Zhang Yu had personally witnessed and experienced them all, yet he remained completely unaware of their inner workings.

After all, this is knowledge that was not taught at all in high school.

The more Zhang Yu listened, the more he realized the profoundness of the Formation. It was a method that used Spiritual Energy, structure, materials, and other means to reproduce, change, and even surpass nature. It was the foundation upon which Kunxu was able to build so many super buildings!

In the blink of an eye, the first Engineering Array Charting Class has come to an end!

Just as Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan were about to leave, the teacher, who was gleaming with gold, walked up to them, attracting the attention of many students!

The teacher, named Tu Lishan, smiled at Zhang Yu and said, "Zhang Yu, this is the first day you've met me, but I saw you back in your Foundation Establishment Exam year!"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, recalling the final session of the Foundation Establishment Exam, where many Upper Level individuals, representatives from various universities, were in the audience!

Tu Lishan's head flashed and, in Zhang Yu's Eye Remains projection, it had already turned into a dog's head, before turning back again!

"That's exactly how I looked back then!"

Shilishan smiled and said, "When I saw your performance in the exam, I knew you were a natural-born Civil Engineering Department student, so I strongly recommended you to the school!"

"Focus on your basic courses for the next three months, and when school officially starts in September, I'll take you to a construction site to earn money."

Zhang Yu was slightly surprised upon hearing this; "We can get into the construction site so early?"

Tu Lishan said, "I'll work and study at the same time, and earn some money on the side!"

"The teacher knows you came from the first floor and your financial situation isn't great, so the construction site is the perfect classroom for you!"

"In our Civil Engineering line, as long as you're willing to work hard and put in the effort for a few years, you can definitely earn a lot!"

Then he looked at Yu Xinghan next to Zhang Yu and said, "Yu Xinghan, you too, come along later!"

Watching Tu Lishan's departing figure, Yu Xinghan sighed, "There are still good teachers at Ten Thousand Laws University who can see my talent and special abilities, and even give us opportunities to make money!"

"Zhang Yu, let's study hard for the next three months, and when we get to the construction site, let's work hard and earn more money!"

"Sigh, I wish I could earn as much as Earth Teacher someday!"

Their commotion had already attracted the attention of many students in the surrounding area!

Especially some of the Qi Refining students, upon hearing that Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan would be able to earn money on the construction site in three months, all showed envy in their eyes!

Li Xiao, a fellow Foundation Establishment Class Immortal Capital People, also witnessed this scene and pondered for a moment...

He volunteered and chased after Tukayama all the way out of the classroom, standing in front of him. He said, "Earth Teacher, could you give me a chance too?"

"I want to work on a construction site too!"

Looking at Li Xiao before him, Tu Lishan's gaze shifted slightly. "You're also on the first floor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's breath hitched slightly. In the past two days, he had been treated differently countless times because of his status as a member of the first tier!

When Tu Lishan saw the other person nod, he smiled slightly and said, "It's good to be on the first floor. Many people look down on those of you who come from the first floor, but I actually really admire students like you!"

"I've taught many students, but over the years, you first-grade students are the most hardworking!"

As he spoke, Tu Lishan patted Li Xiao on the shoulder. "Work hard, and I'll take you to the construction site in three months!"

"However, there are limited positions on the construction site, so you and Zhang Yu are in competition. You'll have to work hard for the next three months!"

"But to be honest, I think you're better!"

Watching Tu Lishan leave, Li Xiao felt a surge of excitement, a wave of fighting spirit rising within him. "Three months from now, I must be on the construction site."

As he walked towards the 666th Layer, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, Li Xiao... they are all quite talented!"

Unlike many teachers who prefer high-achieving, wealthy students, Tsuchikayama prefers talented students who are not wealthy!

He thought to himself, "These poor people are the true backbone of our great Civil Engineering World!"

"Otherwise, if everyone wants to be in management, who will do the actual work?"

"Gongshu Jin and Ji Yuan Shu are ten times more outstanding, but Gongshu Jin is rich, and Ji Yuan Shu is determined to Transfer Departments majors. How could they possibly come to work as slaves on a construction site for a few hard-earned dollars?"

On the other side, Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan walked through the Magnetic Channel, heading to the classroom for the next class!

Suddenly, a voice called out from the road!

"Zhang Yu."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, and he looked in the direction where the call had come from, a look of surprise in his eyes. "Is this... that Immortal Capital People?"

The person calling out to Zhang Yu was none other than Yun Jing, who had once taken the Foundation Establishment Exam with Zhang Yu but was ultimately defeated by Bai Zhenzhen!

At this moment, there were five Qi Refining students beside Yun Jing. Looking at Zhang Yu who was sizing him up, one of them coldly said, "You're also at the first level? This has nothing to do with you. If you know what's good for you, get lost..."

Zhang Yu, ranked 13th in the Foundation Establishment Class of the Civil Engineering Department, looked at the ranking that appeared above Zhang Yu's head, and the other person quickly changed his words, saying, "I should be the one getting lost."

Then he grinned at Yun Jing beside him and said, "Why didn't you say you knew Foundation Establishment Student sooner?"

Yun Jing looked at the Qi Refining students scattering and fleeing, then at Zhang Yu, whose face was calm and composed, and felt extremely complicated.

Back when they were on the first floor, he was the high and mighty Immortal Capital Master, while the other was just a country bumpkin!

But a Foundation Establishment Exam has completely changed their fates!

Now he can only look up to this Foundation Establishment Class student!

Zhang Yu glanced at Yun Jing and said calmly, "Are you in trouble?"

He could sense that Yun Jing had just used his power to intimidate others!

Yun Jing said, "People on the first floor are more likely to be isolated in the Artifact Crafting Department. I'm used to it, but they went a bit too far today..."

"Anyway, thank you for today!"

I will repay this debt in the future.

Yun Jing bowed to Zhang Yu and then left!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu sighed, thinking to himself, "It seems the Yun Family is in a bad situation!"

Zhang Yu thought to himself that the other party was Bai Zhenzhen's former rival, and he was determined to tell Bai Zhenzhen this gossip; she would definitely be very interested!

A moment later, Zhang Yu arrived at the classroom!

The classroom for this class is even larger, big enough to hold over a thousand people!

Zhang Yu knew that this was a large, interdisciplinary course!

Meanwhile, on the high platform in the classroom, a group of students were announcing. "Hello everyone, we are students from the Daoist Arts Department, providing paid Dao Arts services!"

"We have the Mind Clarity Technique, which Photographic Memory; the Return to Origin Technique, which accelerates the Breath Circulation of Spiritual Energy energy; Spring Return Technique, which aids in Body Tempering. These Dao Arts cost only 0.03 Spirit Coin and can last for one hour!"

"There's also the Divine Soul Cloud Sea Technique, which allows two people to cultivate simultaneously. The experience gained from one cultivation session is equivalent to two sessions in a normal day, and you can enjoy it for just 0.09 Spirit Coin for one hour..."

"There are also practitioners here skilled in lightning Thunder Method, who can unleash Divine Firmament Thunder Wave. They can assist in Body Tempering, improve the Spirit Root Fusion, and enhance the Five Elements. The fee is 0.11 Spirit Coin per hour..."

"Today is the last day of the back-to-school promotion. Simply click the link to become a member and enjoy a 30% discount on the above services..."

In front of Gongshu Jin, a Daoist Arts Department student was recommending that he become a member!

Gongshu Jin seemed somewhat interested and was listening attentively to the project the other party was recommending!

Naturally, some students from the Daoist Arts Department also approached Ji Yuan Shu, but this Layer 6 master simply said, "I already have a private Dao Arts service team; I don't need these!"

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Arts Department students who were trying to sell their products could only leave sheepishly!

Yu Xinghan listened with a hint of envy to the Daoist Arts Department students' presentation and sighed, "It's fucking good to be rich!"

Looking at the description of the Divine Soul Cloud Sea Technique, Zhang Yu's eyes revealed a hint of longing. "I wonder if it will be useful for Feather Scroll, and whether I should spend Spirit Coin on it?"

"But it's only 0.09 coins per hour, even with a 30% discount... I only have enough money for 200 hours right now, so I'll pass for now!"

"Sigh, I'll write down the website address first... You can't rush things when it comes to spending money, or you'll easily lose money and become a sucker!"

Zhang Yu decided to hold onto the approximately 12 Spirit Coin he had for the time being and not use them in a hurry!

After all, his understanding of Ten Thousand Laws University is still too limited, and he doesn't know much about the various consumer items either!

"I should continue to learn more about Ten Thousand Laws University and the Wood Element, and make a proper plan before spending money on cultivation!"

A moment later, many students from the Daoist Arts Department left the classroom before class started!

An elderly man with white hair and beard slowly stepped onto the stage, looked at the crowd, and said, "Martial Dao Strength Studies, as the name suggests, teaches you the mysteries of various forces, strengths, and techniques within Martial Dao Cultivation Method..."

"Whether it's combat, construction, weapon forging, alchemy, medicine making, or any other aspect, they can all be more or less related to our course!"

"If your future major involves courses like Fluid Strength, Soil Strength, and Heat Radiation Strength, then you'll need to study what I'm about to teach even more diligently!"

"I know you are all new students. You have a big exam before the start of the semester after the three months of basic courses!"

"If your exam results aren't good, don't even think about taking advanced courses!"

"Those with a strong foundation shouldn't be arrogant; the big exam in three months is crucial if you want to compete for a higher ranking."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. He knew the other person was referring to the exam three months from now, after the basic courses were completed!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I want to improve my ranking, I can't relax in any exam!"

Over the next two days, Zhang Yu studied diligently during the day, constantly absorbing all sorts of knowledge!

Back in his dormitory that evening, he focused on Basic Cultivation Method. After advancing the Foundation Establishment Body Refinement Seventy-Two Forms to Level 20, he has now also advanced the Foundation Establishment Mind Refining Method to level 17!

"I'll hang up now, Yu Zi..."

"Keep up the good work!"

The thing I sent you should arrive in a few days, remember to check it!

After ending his call with Bai Zhenzhen that day, Zhang Yu continued practicing the Foundation Establishment Mind Refining Method in his dormitory!

But about half an hour later, Zhang Yu felt a slight stinging pain in his palm, and the symbols in his palm were now completely filled with black!

The next moment, as the Feather Scroll flipped violently, in addition to the prologue and the first chapter, the Chain Law Diagram, a new chapter appeared before him!

Zhang Yu stared intently, muttering to himself, "Chapter Two, The Dao Seed Compendium!"
