Yu Xinghan would occasionally glance at Ying Xin's refining materials, then at Gongshu Jin's construction work, and then keep an eye on the other students.

With the help of his Three-Eyed Divine Power, he has an all-around field of vision, enabling him to clearly observe the actions and conditions of each student.

My construction skills... aren't very strong.

"After all, I spend most of my time no longer on the construction site, but rather giving massages to people who come from there."

Yu Xinghan memorized her classmates' movements, imitated them, and repeated them.

At this moment, Yu Xinghan was like a skilled tailor, pasting together the individual construction steps and sewing them onto his construction site!

But the next moment, he suddenly paused, slightly taken aback; "That kid Zhang Yu..."

In his observation, Zhang Yu actually sat there and gulped down large mouthfuls of steel bars and cement into his stomach!

"What's this guy doing? Spending time and money in the exam hall?"

Is now the time to do this?

Meanwhile, at the construction site on the other side, Zhang Yu felt the building materials he had just digested and thought to himself, "Ying Xin made the right choice!"

"The quality of building materials truly depends on our own efforts to improve it!"

Zhang Yu's Movement Method surged, and his muscles swelled and contracted, bursting with unparalleled elasticity!

The Mountain Manifestation True Form Chapter - Driving Force

The next moment, with the infusion of magical power, Zhang Yu's muscles and internal organs suddenly expanded, like an inflating balloon, and he burst into a giant!

Then, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed a large piece of building material!

But Zhang Yu's purpose was not to digest these materials. Instead, he intended to use the digestive system he had created from No. 15 Secret Steel, much like a lathe, to further enhance the strength of these building materials!

As he felt the building materials transforming inside him, Zhang Yu's gaze remained unwavering!

"That's not enough..."

Zhang Yu murmured to himself, "In this examination hall, whether it's comparing Dharma Skeleton, wealth, experience, or even abilities like Dao Arts, there are always people stronger than me!"

"If I want to win, I will fully utilize my strengths and use my most authentic, down -Civil Engineering strength to make this bunker Indestructible Vajra Body."

With a low shout, Zhang Yu's Gang Qi surged, and countless Formless Warrior appeared behind him, catching the building materials he spat out and beginning to build the foundation on the construction site!

Ji Yuan Shu had been observing Zhang Yu's condition, after all, Zhang Yu was the student whose strength was closest to his in this exam!

Seeing Zhang Yu conjure up Humanoid Gang Qi figures, he felt a little disapproving. "What a waste of magical power!"

As steel and concrete structures rose from the ground, Zhang Yu's Formless Warrior moved through them, and his construction team gradually became invisible!

Time flew by amidst the clanging and clattering sounds on the field!

Every student is giving their all, showcasing the essence of their freshman year studies, and pouring it all into the construction site before them!

Watching the bunkers gradually rise from the ground, and observing the actions of each student, Tu Lishan grew increasingly curious and eager for the final result!

With the three-hour construction period coming to an end, fewer and fewer students were still working on the project!

The vast majority of people have completed all the construction work!

Seeing the frantic hammering still going on in Zhang Yu's fortress, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Could it be that his mana was used up too much before, causing his construction efficiency to drop and fall behind?"

The three-hour construction period has come to an end!

The commotion at Zhang Yu's construction site also ceased!

He emerged from the bunker with a hint of regret on his face!

Everyone watching this scene wondered if Zhang Yu had failed to completely finish the inside of the bunker!

At the same time, a glint flashed in Tu Lishan's Eye Remains, and a young man dressed in a Daoist robe, looking like an ancient person, appeared in front of him!

It was Director Gao's Spirit Realm Projection that appeared!

Director Gao asked calmly, "How is the situation?"

Tu Lishan said respectfully, "The construction has just been completed, and we are now going to inspect it!"

One by one, assistants and other Civil Engineering Department professors who were proctoring the exam entered the bunkers, inspected the situation inside, and recorded it!

Seeing this, Director Gao nodded slightly and casually said, "Well, I'm here to check on the first-year students' grades!"

Tu Lishan could sense that Director Gao was in a bad mood, and considering the date, he guessed it was probably related to the final grades!

Director Gao is indeed dissatisfied with the Final Exam for all grades!

Currently, among the Civil Engineering Department students, those who support both the War Faction Peace Faction, five grades in the War Faction are lagging behind academically and have lost first place!

If Ji Yuan Shu takes first place in the first year, then overall, they will be six years behind!

Director Gao asked, "What are the win rates for Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin?"

Tu Lishan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say!"

Director Gao frowned. "Then I'll come and see for myself!"

Meanwhile, a large number of students gathered outside the construction site, nervously awaiting the acceptance process and the next 10 waves of challenges!

The inspection was completed quickly. Ying Xin checked her 100% completion rate and breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Now let's see how many waves of attacks we can withstand!"

All Eye Remains the construction site, Spirit Realm Projection rose up, appearing as shimmering bands of light surrounding the site and displaying a sign prohibiting entry!

As Tu Lishan announced the start of the final stage of the exam, the first wave of attacks followed!

As the surrounding partitions rose, huge pipes stretched out from underground!

The next moment, like a torrent of water, Giant Dragon waves crashed against the bunker!

A terrifying force surged within the giant waves, the raging torrents crashing against the bunkers time and again, like siege engines bombarding them repeatedly. The students watched with trepidation, fearing that their bunkers would be washed away!

Ten minutes later, the tide gradually receded!

Tukayama nodded slightly and launched a second wave of attacks amidst deafening booms!

All the bunkers trembled slightly, and as the Formation of the simulated examination room was activated, the ground where the bunkers were located rose and fell, as if a raging sea was rising in the earth!

With the ground shaking violently, the bunkers looked as if they had experienced a magnitude 7 or 8 earthquake!

Some students looked worried as they saw the cracks in the wall on their artwork!

Some students breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at their solidly crafted works!

One minute later, as the simulated earthquake ended, not a single bunker collapsed!

The third wave of attack saw violent explosions erupt, and visible shockwaves swept across the bunkers. It was during this wave that the walls of some bunkers finally began to collapse!

When the fourth wave of attack ended, only the Sidong Bunker remained intact on the field!

However, the exterior wall of one of the buildings had cracked, revealing large areas of bloodstains inside!

Seeing this, Tu Lishan was slightly surprised, "Ying Xin actually held out until this wave?"

His eyes flickered as he gazed at the bloodstains on the wall. "Was it a blood sacrifice?"

Director Gao's Eye Remains flashed with Ying Xin's information, and he nodded slightly, saying, "During the process of refining the materials, she added her own Essence Blood and the family's ashes stored in her body, making it a blood sacrifice!"

Director Gao smiled slightly, and in his eyes seemed to appear those students who looked similar to Ying Xin —Ying Xin's father, grandfather, and even earlier ancestors!

"As expected of the sixth generation of Tsuchihito, he mastered the technique of Construction Site Blood Sacrifice in his freshman year!"

The fifth wave of attack saw massive fireballs rise up and engulf the remaining bunkers one by one!

The bunker built by Ying Xin was mostly destroyed, and a large hole was also torn in the bunker built by Gongshu Jin, revealing a section of its spine!

The blood vessels and nerves on the spine spread throughout the entire wall, absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Formation, as if they had become the heart of the building!

Tu Lishan's eyes flickered. "Insert your own Vajra Mysterious Creation Spinal Dharma Skeleton into the Array Core?"

Director Gao nodded appreciatively. "Oh? Is it Living Sacrifice Foundation? That's a construction technique from the second year of university. I didn't expect him to have mastered it already, and even be able to drive his own Dharma Skeleton into it!"

The sixth wave of attack, accompanied by flashes of lightning, engulfed the entire construction site in a barrage of thunder and fire!

Amidst the continuous explosions, shockwaves swept in all directions, leveling all the broken walls and ruins to the ground!

Watching his spine disappear in the explosion, Gongshu Jin felt his heart bleed and roared in his mind, "My Vajra Mysterious Creation!"

But thinking that he had only managed to get third place by using his own spine to build Living Pile, he couldn't help but stare intently at the remaining two fortresses, as if trying to see clearly what kind of Civil Engineering techniques they had used to make them stand firm until now!

Tsuchikayama's gaze shifted slightly, and the construction records and acceptance records of Ji Yuan Shu appeared in his Eye Remains. When Tu Lishan first saw these, he was surprised!

And now, looking at it again, he couldn't help but feel amazed once more!

"Really..." In the basement of the bunker, as recorded in the inspection report, Ji Yuan Shu's corpse was sitting cross-legged!

"He actually buried himself inside, using his own corpse to suppress the Luck and gather Spiritual Energy, thus strengthening the Formation to its limit!"

"No, it's not just that!"

"Even when he was drawing in the Spirit Vein, he was already constructing Auspicious Burial Site; at that time, he planned to bury himself!"

Tukayama's gaze swept over the broken walls and ruins, as well as the simulated Spirit Vein underground. "Initially, we only used Auspicious Burial Site and the bodies of the deceased to suppress the Luck, occupying most of the Spirit Vein..."

Spiritual Energy of inspiration!

"But with each bunker that collapsed, Ji Huanshu's bunker gained a new Spiritual Energy!"

"This is the essence of the Finance Department's Way of Fortune: the more resources you have, the more resources you can move, eventually snowballing and even influencing the course of the world..."

"At this moment, ninety percent of the Spiritual Energy within the simulated Spirit Vein has converged into Ji Yuan Shu's fortress!"

Tu Lishan looked out of the examination hall and saw Ji Yuan Shu's figure!

At this moment, Ji Yuan Shu's soul is preserved in the Spirit Realm. What appears here is his Spirit Realm Projection. However, the students around him are used to observing the world with their Eye Remains, and most of them did not notice this!

At the same time, Tu Lishan could also sense that the medical company's emergency team was already waiting outside the examination hall...

One of the young doctors said, "Captain, how much longer do we have to wait!"

The leading doctor said calmly, "We can go in and save people once the exam is over!"

The young doctor asked curiously, "How could someone who can afford to hire us die in the exam hall?"

The head doctor casually remarked, "They're rich people; it's normal for them to die a few times a year. They're not like poor people who can't afford to die!"

"In our line of work, remember this: don't worry about how the client died, just focus on bringing them back to life!"

Director Gao coldly stared at Ji Yuan Shu's bunker, sensing the stability of the bunker and Formation under the blessing of Luck!

Just then, an arrogant voice rang out. "Old Gao, how well has my student mastered the Way of Fortune?"

A Spirit Realm Projection appeared before Tu Lishan and Director Gao; it was none other than Director Lin, Ji Shu's master and the representative of the Peace Faction of the Civil Engineering Department!

Director Gao glanced at the other party coldly and said indifferently, "This is not the Civil Engineering Righteous Path!"

Director Lin sighed, "What Righteous Path is there in Civil Engineering? No matter how good your construction is, how exquisite your materials are, or how ingenious your design is, how can it compare to Luck? How can you defy the Heaven's Will?"

"It should be understood that throughout history, even the most impregnable fortresses have been destroyed by human error; which one has truly been breached?"

"No matter how skilled you are in Civil Engineering, without combining it with finance and understanding the Luck, you're ultimately nothing more than someone else's stepping stone, used and then discarded!"

Director Gao snorted coldly and said, "The Finance Department is turning the world into a series of giant casinos. If everyone is gambling, who will truly build Kunxu? The sect should build and prosper Kunxu Kunxu; that's the real driving force!"

"Don't try to intimidate me with your big talk. Are you one of the people who built Kunxu? You're talking to me about the big picture? Whoever has the money controls the big picture!"

Director Lin sneered, glanced at the two remaining bunkers, and said calmly, "I have more outstanding disciples than you, more projects under my control, and more Bank Loan for my company. The tide isn't in my hands; who else could it be?"

"Just like here in this examination hall, all the Spiritual Energy has converged on Ji Yuan Shu. He is the one favored by Luck and the one whose Irresistible Trend!"

"How long can your Civil Engineering Righteous Path hold out?"
