Competition Decision, Taiqing Talismans

After a long while, Ma Xuan replied to Cong Na: No need to change it.

Ma Xuan: Anyway, we are the main force. Whether Ji Yuan Shu is slightly stronger or weaker in the position, the difference is not significant.

Ma Xuan: And Zhang Yu hasn't trained with us for so long, so rebuilding our teamwork will be a troublesome matter.

Ma Xuan: Let's go with Ji Yuan Shu.

Although Ma Xuan gave a bunch of reasons, he knew in his heart that the reason he didn't replace Ji Yuan Shu wasn't because of these reasons.

Looking at the ranking chart, Ma Xuan thought to himself, "The Old Director's life is coming to an end..."

Ma Xuan knew that in the Civil Engineering Department today, Director Lin for Peace Faction, and Director Gao, War Faction, were the most respected!

As for the true head of the Civil Engineering Department, namely the leader of Ma Xuan's faction, he has been running out of money for the past ten years or so and is gradually unable to afford the expenses of Longevity life. He can be said to be nearing the end of his life!

"The Finance Department can provide the Old Director with a loan!"

Ma Xuan thought to himself, "For the sake of this payment, the Old Director, who originally didn't take sides, has now decided to side with the Peace Faction!"

Ma Xuan understood that, compared to individual student grades, the department's ranking and factionalism were more important!

Just then, Cong Na replied, "In that case, Zhang Yu might leave the team, right?"

Ma Xuan: There's nothing we can do about it.

A 100-square-meter suite on the 450th Floor!

As Ji Yuan Shu read the message from Ma Xuan in the Competition Team, his internal organs trembled uncontrollably!

He tried desperately to suppress it, but he couldn't. In the end, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his life force weakened at an incredible speed!

At this moment, with the announcement of the results, he is no longer the number one in people's hearts!

As people's confidence in him waned, the Luck he had been suppressing in his mind also scattered and fled!

Even the Luck he originally possessed, and the confidence people had in him as a Sixth Layer student... began to dissipate in large quantities!

Sensing the changes in his internal Luck, Ji Yuan Shu thought to himself, "These guys, if I just say a few nice words, they'll expect me to be stronger than them!"

And once I fail, they want to crush me into the mud, constantly lowering their assessment of my abilities!

Ji Yuan Shu sneered. He knew that Luck or people's hearts, it was always like this: either overestimated or underestimated. There was never any objective evaluation!

But feeling the backlash he was experiencing, a bitter expression appeared on Ji Yuan Shu's face!

Back then, he flaunted his strength, guided people's hearts, and gathered Luck. With the blessing of Luck, his magical power flowed more and more smoothly, his Dao Heart became more and more flawless, and even his physical Qi and Blood and qi became more active. Even his thinking and memory would be improved to varying degrees!

Now that the Luck has backfired, not only have these blessings disappeared, but the flow of magical power has become sluggish, physical reactions have become somewhat dull, and there has been a decline in thinking, memory, and other aspects to varying degrees!

It's as if a person's entire state of mind has suddenly plummeted to rock bottom!

But that's not the worst part!

Ji Hengshu tried to circulate the internal Cultivation Method within his body, and he felt that the Cultivation Method that he used to master with ease were now making one mistake after another, and he was always out of sorts!

Originally, level 15 and 18 Cultivation Method could only achieve the effects of Level 10 or even level 8!

All of this caused a serious decline in his strength!

"It will take at least one or two months to gradually recover!"

"It will disrupt a lot of classes and hinder the improvement of basic data!"

Numerous pieces of information kept flashing through his Eye Remains, but Ji Yuan Shu refused to look at any of them!

He knew it was nothing more than some people's sarcastic remarks, mockery, or some people's showing off and boasting, but he had no choice but to read the message sent by Director Lin!

Director Lin: Let's put the Finance Department's matter on hold for now.

Director Lin: From now on, you should focus on studying Civil Engineering.

Director Lin: We must suppress Zhang Yu and prevent him from getting first place again.

The best of learning

Director Lin: Also, when he takes the Military Certificate exam in a few years, you should push him out of the race.

Upon hearing Director Lin's words, Ji Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat, realizing that his worst fears had come true!

"Are they not letting me switch to the Finance Department anymore?"

Long before Ji Yuan Shu entered high school, he knew that his future goal was to get into Ten Thousand Laws University, then learn the three ultimate skills in the Civil Engineering Department department, and then transfer to the Finance Department. This was his life plan all along, a goal that he had devoted countless days and nights to and paid countless prices to achieve!

But at this very moment! This life plan has been completely overturned!

"Stay and study Civil Engineering?"

"Master, don't you know what studying Civil Engineering means?"

"You were the one who told me not to stay and wallow in the quagmire of Shimu!"

After repeatedly reading the message sent by Director Lin, Ji Huanshu seemed to be able to sense the deep disappointment the other party had in him!

Besides that, he also gleaned another meaning from it!

"You want me to stay in the Civil Engineering Department to hinder Zhang Yu? To snipe Zhang Yu?"

Ji Yuan Shu gave a bitter smile, knowing that at this moment... he had changed from a long-term investment to a short-term investment!

Never before had he so desperately wanted someone to die—"Zhang Yu"

But Ji Yuan Shu understood that even if he killed Zhang Yu, it would be useless. Only by defeating his opponent fairly and squarely and obtaining a higher ranking with absolute strength could he possibly regain his master's attention!

Defeating Zhang Yu is only the first step!

"I want to graduate first in my department, then take the graduate entrance exam for the Finance Department, and get my life back on track!"

Feeling the weakness within his body, Ji Yuan Shu murmured to himself, "But to reach this point, I need even stronger assistance!"

As his resolve gradually solidified, a strange dialogue box appeared in Ji Yuan Shu's Eye Remains!

Ji Yuan Shu: I've granted your wish.

Ji Yuan Shu: Tell me how the Ritual should be performed.

On a construction site with 667th Layer!

The Two-Headed White Ox in Zhang Yu's mind roared, and his Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body was activated to level 11!

Feeling his thoughts racing even faster, Zhang Yu continued to multitask, checking the messages popping up in his Eye Remains while simultaneously circulating his Gang Qi and working on the construction site!

At the same time, the mental cultivation technique in his mind continued to operate in a state of Spirit-Flesh Unity, making him stronger step by step!

Before he knew it, the night had passed. When Zhang Yu returned to his new dormitory, he found that no one else had arrived yet, except for himself!

He took his portion of the Pooled Medicine and ate it first. Soon after, he saw Yu Xinghan return to the dormitory with a slight smile!

Yu Xinghan then said, "I have successfully become an apprentice."

As someone who passed the Foundation Establishment Exam, Yu Xinghan also has the same right to appoint a mentor as Zhang Yu!

However, like Magnetic Pole True Person, the mentor that Yu Xinghan chose also made demands on him, requiring him to be ranked in the top five of his class in the academic year. If he did not meet the other party's requirements, even if Yu Xinghan designated the other party as his mentor, he would not receive any guidance!

So after the final exam results came out yesterday, Yu Xinghan took the results to the other party and finally successfully became their student!

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What kind of mentor?"

Yu Xinghan said, "It's Professor Gong, who studies Construction Site Health Management!"

"Huh?" Zhang Yu was shocked upon hearing this!

Construction Site Health Management? There are actually researchers studying this? Is it a promising field?

Yu Xinghan seemed to understand Zhang Yu's surprise and explained, "Professor Gong is a newly recruited professor!"

"But that doesn't mean Professor Gong are weak!"

"You must understand that as the Immortal Dao flourishes, research in various disciplines becomes increasingly complex and challenging, with more and more sub-fields emerging. Many research directions are extremely obscure, making it increasingly difficult to achieve results!"

"The fact that he was able to forge the Golden Core and become a professor in this era only shows that his talent is far more terrifying than that of the Golden Core True Person from decades or even centuries ago!"

"Hehe, and I am indeed interested in what he's researching!"

Just as Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu were chatting, Li Xiao called out to them from outside, wanting to come over and attend their first class of sophomore year!

Yu Xinghan opened the door, looked at Li Xiao in front of him and was slightly taken aback. Staring at the other's hands, he said, "You changed your Dharma Skeleton?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, I finally saved up Spirit Coin, and I exchanged them for the Vajra Mysterious Creation Hand Skeleton!"

"No," Yu Han questioned, "How could you afford something Vajra Mysterious Creation? Is it a fake?"

Li Xiao said, "Why would I buy a fake? It's Vajra Mysterious Creation, the genuine Vajra Mysterious!"

Looking at the message about the Dharma Skeleton sent by the other party, Yu Xinghan angrily said, "Why are you so vain? Why did you have to buy the Vajra Mysterious Creation Vajra Mysterious Creation? Are you even capable of affording it? Is it some kind of 0 down payment, 30-year installment plan? If you do this, people on the street will just think you're using a fake."

Looking at Li Xiao's brand-name Dharma Skeleton, Yu Xinghan felt as if it were early morning.

My good mood is ruined!

But the next moment, looking at the information about the Dharma Skeleton, Yu Han suddenly laughed again, "Nine hands, huh!"

Yu Xinghan touched his chest, thinking, "Damn, that scared me to death! I thought you were better too, and that your loan limit had increased!"

He patted Li Xiao on the shoulder with a big smile and praised, "A used one is great! It's affordable and performs just as well as a new one!"

"We college students believe in thrift and frugality; we should spend when necessary and save when appropriate!"

Just as Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao were chatting, Zhang Pianpian returned to her dormitory!

Zhang Yu glanced at the top of her head and discovered that the older Elder Sister, now a senior in college, had already become the 44th ranked person in the Foundation Establishment Realm the Talisman Department!

"My Elder Sister has improved again!"

"But this still shouldn't be her true strength, right? I remember she was supposed to control her score!"

Zhang Yu could imagine that Zhang Pianpian would improve step by step, gradually making her way to the top of the entire department!

Then Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Pianpian's chest, at the Dao Seed Taiqing Talismans on her chest!

Last night, his savings exceeded 56 Spirit Coin, finally giving him the opportunity to activate the Taiqing Talismans!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's time to have a talk with my Elder Sister!"

So Zhang Yu sent Zhang Pianpian a message: Senior, are you short of money?

Zhang Pianpian: Why did you suddenly think of asking this?

Zhang Yu: You were ranked in the top 50 in the entire department before, but the place you lived and the things you used were very ordinary.

Zhang Yu: Have you been saving money all along, planning to spend it on a major project?

Zhang Pianpian wasn't surprised, as this wasn't a difficult conclusion to reach. She simply replied casually, "What? You want to borrow money from me?"

Zhang Yu: I have 56 Spirit Coin now, how many do you need?

Zhang Pianpian was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Zhang Yu had saved up so many Spirit Coin without using them!

This is an absolute fortune for college students, enough to cause brothers to turn against each other and fathers and daughters to become enemies!

Zhang Pianpian looked intently at Zhang Yu and sent him a message: "Don't you need it yourself? Are you willing to lend it to me?"
