Hot-Blooded Civil Engineering

Zhang Yu switched to Qi Meridian Everflowing, feeling his mana rapidly recovering, and said nonchalantly, "It's alright, just focus on improving the Magical Power Quality."

"You should be able to sense it, right? The magical power within you is about to break through a new bottleneck."

Le Mulan nodded. Recently, she felt that the magical power in her body was becoming increasingly cold and sinister. Although it would not harm her, it would sometimes leak out uncontrollably, causing various strange phenomena in the outside world.

Le Mulan had a feeling that if things continued at this pace, her magical power would undergo a qualitative change in another week or two!

Such a rapid improvement in the Magical Power Quality is also inseparable from Zhang Yu. The improvement in the Magical Power Quality has made her cultivation more efficient, accelerated her progress, and made the Le Family on the Second Layer invest more resources in her!

Thinking of this, Le Mulan looked at Zhang Yu and sighed inwardly. She never expected that the money she had spent on him would be returned to her in this way, doubling the amount!

Just then, Zhang Yu handed another measuring cup to Le Mulan: "Oh, right, this shipment is for you too!"

Le Mulan nodded and said, "I'll transfer the Spirit Coin to you once they arrive in my account!"

Feeling the warmth emanating from the measuring cup, Le Mulan immediately judged based on her rich experience. "She must have given birth not long before I arrived, that was very quick!"

"Zhang Yu's productivity has been so high lately!!!! Is it because he's been taking so many supplements?"

After regaining his magical powers, Zhang Yu quickly left the dormitory and rushed back to the construction site!

The renovation of the Cemetery is more than half completed, and now he is even more determined to make the most of the remaining time to absorb Breathing Spiritual Opportunity within the Cemetery construction site!

"It's a pity that President Wang to keep me company for the rest of the time!"

Walking through the familiar underground passage, Zhang Yu arrived at his assigned work location for the day.

Then, as usual, Zhang Yu activated the Detection Ritual within his body and glanced at the location of the nearby cameras!

After all, he had quite a few secrets, so Zhang Yu had made it a habit to check and memorize the locations of the cameras to avoid causing unnecessary trouble!

But this time, feeling the feedback from the Ritual Power within his body, Zhang Yu looked at the wall on his left and suddenly frowned slightly. "Is there a hidden camera here?"

"Could they have come here specifically to film me?" Thinking this, Zhang Yu activated the power of the Surveillance Ritual within his body, attempting to control the camera. The next moment, he gained control of the camera's monitoring perspective!

This is...

Looking at the surveillance footage, Zhang Yu discovered that it was a multi-angle camera that could simultaneously see the construction site and a hidden passage behind a wall!

"Is there a secret passage here?"

Zhang Yu controlled the surveillance camera, looking at the messy holes dug behind the wall, and thought to himself, "This doesn't look like a formal project; it looks like someone dug it secretly!"

Zhang Yu became curious; who dug this secret passage?

But after thinking about it, Zhang Yu decided not to bother with it. Who knew what secrets were involved, what interests were involved, or what dangers might arise?

So for the next few days, Zhang Yu pretended not to have discovered the secret passage and continued working and Breath Circulation as usual!

That day, he received a message from Jiao Lei True Person to everyone in the class group!

Jiao Lei True Person: Students who want to participate in this year's Architecture Competition can register now. If you are interested, please let me know!

Upon seeing this message, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up. He knew that with the holding of various competitions, students would have more avenues to improve their Comprehensive Score!

Therefore, relying solely on academic performance is not enough to consistently rank at the top of the school's class!

So Zhang Yu sought out Jiao Lei True Person to learn more about this Architecture Competition!

Only then did I realize that this was an annual, important competition for architecture and Civil Engineering students, encompassing both architectural design and Civil Engineering!

The competition is arranged as follows: First, a selection competition will be held within the college of Ten Thousand Laws University. Then, the selected teams will be sent out to compete against representative teams from other universities. This year's finals will be held at Heavenly Demon University at the end of the year!

"But the departmental selection competition starts in the second half of the year!"

Although the competition will not officially start until next semester after the Final Exam of this semester, team registration and formation have already begun. After all, once the Competition Team are formed, they will need time to work together!

Soon after, Tu Lishan also sent a message to Zhang Yu!

Tu Lishan: You heard about the Architecture Competition, right?

Tu Lishan: There's a team recruiting; you can give it a try.

Tsuchiyama: You're only a freshman, so don't worry about the outcome. Just focus on gaining experience.

So, on Tu Lishan's recommendation, Zhang Yu made a special trip to the construction site on the 667th Layer the next day.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, he saw a slender girl doing warm-up exercises!

Looking at the other person's not-so-muscular physique and the ranking above their head, Zhang Yu thought to himself in Outer Dao, "Are there girls with this kind of build in the Civil Engineering Department?"

Cong Na, a Foundation Establishment Student in the Civil Engineering Department and ranked fifth in her class, said calmly, "Zhang Yu, right? Here's what happened."

Only after the other party explained did Zhang Yu realize that this team had already gathered 5 students, and now they needed to recruit another student from the Civil Engineering Department to be responsible for the project implementation!

Cong Na twisted her arms and legs, making a series of crackling sounds, and chuckled, saying, "Well... I'm here to give you a test!"

Even though you were recommended by Earth Teacher and ranked second in your class, you're still only a freshman!

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Cong Na felt that... having a freshman on the team was simply too much work.

The other person will only be doing odd jobs, and might even be hoping to get a ranking by association!

Even if the other party is truly skilled, Cong Na would still prefer to choose a student of similar ability from a higher grade, since higher grade students have more construction experience!

Therefore, Cong Na's idea was very simple!

Let him give up!

Cong Na thought to herself, "I'll teach this kid a lesson: competitions aren't for freshmen!"

Zhang Yu nodded and asked, "How do we test it?"

Cong Na sent the blueprints to Zhang Yu, then pointed to a scaffold and said, "I've sent you the blueprints. Within 10 minutes, you need to complete the steel reinforcement shown in the blueprints, and then you'll pass the test!"

"However, just like the competition simulations are all set up in wartime environments, while you're laying steel bars, I'll launch attacks from time to time to stop your work!"

"Is there a problem?" Zhang Yu glanced at the blueprints, thinking to himself, "Damn it, are they using this test to make me do free work again? No wonder they're the team introduced by Slime Mountain, they're just like everyone else!"

Even so, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "No problem!"

As the countdown began, "3, 2, 1," Zhang Yu flashed forward, unleashing a surge of powerful Gang Qi. With a single palm strike, the steel bars more than ten meters away were swept up and fell onto the support structure. Then, with a flick of his finger, waves of Gang Qi flashed past, and the reinforcing wires several meters away leaped up and began to entangle the steel bars!

Watching Zhang Yu's swift movements, Cong Na nodded slightly. "You're not slow at all!"

"Then I'll put even more pressure on you!"

Cong Na took a step forward and struck Zhang Yu's back with a palm strike— the Tendon Breaking Palm, capable of twisting most of the steel bars!

With the Tendon Breaking Palm contained in Cong Na's palm strike, she was confident that if she landed a single blow, she could twist all the steel bars that Zhang Yu had erected, rendering his work completely futile!

Cong Na felt that if she landed a few blows on Zhang Yu, she might break his bones. Zhang Yu, who possessed the Three-Eyed Divine Power, had already observed Cong Na's situation. Almost the instant Cong Na moved, he also struck out with his palm, his Gang Qi swirling and surging towards her. With a loud bang, Cong Na dispersed Zhang Yu's Gang Qi with her palm and continued to approach without stopping!

She scoffed, "The Gang Qi Conductivity is too low. This little bit of power can't even slow me down! Freshmen are really unreliable!"

With a cold snort, Cong Na had already arrived beside Zhang Yu, unleashing a barrage of palm strikes that forced Zhang Yu to turn around and parry!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this some kind of 'Hot-Blooded Civil Engineering' competition? We have to fight while we're building?"

However, due to Cong Na's interference, Zhang Yu found himself unable to continue the construction!

As an outstanding senior student, Zhang Yu's opponent was stronger and faster than him. Once the battle started, even if he used 55 Split Battle Method, mimicking his opponent's movements and going head-to-head with him, he would still be able to win!

That would only allow them to parry the opponent, making it difficult to continue working, let alone repel them!

At this moment, Zhang Yu revealed the flaws in his combat system!

"He's pretty tough!" Cong Na thought to herself as she suppressed Zhang Yu, "But in a competition, just being tough isn't enough!"

Seeing that the other side's work had completely stopped under her offensive, Cong Na thought to herself, "Is the project halted just because of hand-to-hand combat? The real competition is countless times more treacherous than this!"

Cong Na thought to herself, "It's too far off. Should I give up now?"

Just as Cong Na was thinking this, a Humanoid Gang Qi flashed past her and pounced towards her!

"What use is this Gang Qi Conductivity if I can transform into human form?"

Just as Cong Na was about to casually break through this Humanoid Gang Qi, she discovered that this Humanoid Gang Qi was using the exact same move as her!

Using Gang Qi to imitate my moves?

"Nonsense!" A deafening roar erupted!

Cong Na's palm collided violently with the palm of the Humanoid Gang Qi, and then she was surprised to find that not only were the moves exactly the same, but even the force exerted by the Gang Qi was exactly the same, both being the Tendon Breaking Palm!

"Um?"

However, after just one strike, the Humanoid Gang Qi dissipated into the air!

But the next moment, just as Cong Na stepped out, another Humanoid Gang Qi rushed towards her and blocked her way!

boom.

One Humanoid Gang Qi dissipated, and another Humanoid Gang Qi shot forth!

To Cong Na's astonishment, each Humanoid Gang Qi used the same move and palm force as her, and actually managed to block her completely!

Protected by his Gang Qi, Zhang Yu turned around and continued working, his hands creating afterimages as he swept them back and forth across the steel bars!
