Zhang Yu, Top Contributor in the Whole Competition
Since Zhang Yu demonstrated his Level 20 Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, his duel with Ma Xuan and others has attracted the attention of many teachers.
Especially after gaining the upper hand in the first half, many teachers were curious about what tactics Ma Xuan would use in the second half and how Zhang Yu would respond.
Before the second half of the match officially began, another figure appeared in the Spirit Realm Space, seemingly also there to watch the Civil Engineering Department competition.
It was a vertical text box, containing only four simple large characters: Magnetic Extremes True Lord.
Seeing this, Director Gao's eyes lit up, and he messaged privately: You've finally arrived.
As for the image of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord in the Spirit Realm Network, Director Gao is already used to it!
"This guy is clearly so rich, but he won't spend a single penny more than he should if he feels it's unnecessary!"
"Spirit Realm appearances, Nascent Soul Domain, projection effects... we'll get them all for the cheapest price imaginable!"
"The Dharma Skeleton on my body are all repaired and updated by myself, and that's how I've used them for decades!"
Director Gao knew that Magnetic Extremes True Lord was, most of the time, a stingy fellow!
Sometimes he really suspected that the other person was gambling, otherwise why would they be so frugal?
"I really don't know where all that money this guy hoarded went! It's not like he's going to build some kind of magical artifact!"
Fortunately, although Magnetic Extremes True Lord is stingy and difficult to get along with, he is still one of the few friends that Director Gao has, and he can stand up for him today!
Director Gao's gaze swept over the teachers from the Peace Faction present, thinking to himself, "The Finance Department is certainly wealthy, but could you manage to get the Finance Department head to come and watch the competition with you and show his support?"
"If we completely side with the Finance Department, we'll just become Finance Department blood bag, and might even blow up the entire Civil Engineering Department!"
With the arrival of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, many teachers present showed slight changes in their expressions!
Wei Huai, Peace Faction geology teacher, thought to himself, "The relationship between Director Gao and the Magnetic Extremes True Lord is truly extraordinary!"
Jiao Lei True Person, the class teacher of Zhang Yu's Foundation Establishment Class and also a member of the Peace Faction, thought to himself, "The Magnetic Extremes True Lord actually came in person? The Artifact Crafting Department really values Civil Engineering Department, and their sincerity in cooperating is very high!"
Many teachers, however, believe that the War Faction, having now won over the Artifact Crafting Department and established connections with the Deity Transformation Divine Lord of Heaven Sword University, will be overflowing with projects in the future.
For a moment, the War Faction teachers present all felt their backs straighten out a bit more!
As Magnet Pole True Lord arrived, Director Gao, Director Lin, and the old director, Spirit Mountain True Lord, went to greet him at the same time!
Spirit Peak True Lord said with a hearty laugh, "Welcome, Magnetic Extremes True Lord! Our Civil Engineering Department is truly honored to have you here today!"
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "Old Gao said that today all the elites of the Civil Engineering Department are gathered here for the Department Competition to determine the top 10, so he sent me over to take a look!"
"I was thinking that several more Soulless Production Factory Area would be built next year, so I thought I'd come and check out the current construction capabilities of the Civil Engineering Department!"
Upon hearing about the major project that Magnetic Extremes True Lord was holding, the eyes of the surrounding Civil Engineering teachers immediately lit up, like wolves eyeing fresh meat!
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides continued watching the match!
Magnetic Extremes True Lord then privately messaged Director Gao, "Satisfied?"
Director Gao: "Good, good, good!" (thumbs up)
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Send money
Director Gao: [Transfer]
Director Gao: This is the deposit. I'll transfer the rest to you after you've finished reviewing everything.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: What about trust?
Director Gao didn't answer. He only knew that based on his hundreds of years of experience dealing with the other party, if he paid the full amount now, the other party would run away if they dared to look at him for five minutes!
After all, the other person's time, thoughts, and ideas are all very valuable!
Secondly, he also knew that although the Artifact Crafting Department had teachers who studied weapon refining and related fields of Civil Engineering, Magnetic Extremes True Lord himself had no interest in Civil Engineering construction!
As the second half of the competition began, the teams clashed fiercely once again!
Director Gao pulled Magnetic Extremes True Lord along and began to introduce Mo Shang Jin!
As the strongest and only student in the War Faction to have mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, Mo Shang Jin is the flagship student of the War Formation faction and the most suitable student to showcase his abilities!
Director Lin, who was standing to the side, would occasionally chime in, introducing Peace Faction and possessed the Profound Measurement Heaven to Mountain Moving Divine Power!
Spirit Peak True Lord stood aside with a chuckle, seemingly pleased by the abundance of talent in the Civil Engineering Department!
But after listening for a while, Magnetic Extremes True Lord suddenly asked, "Who is that student?"
Director Gao glanced at Zhang Yu, who was surrounded by Ma Xuan and his three companions, and frowned, saying, "Zhang Yu!"
Although Ma Xuan and Zhang Yu were surrounded by sand and mud, every contestant shared their Eye Remains footage with the judges and teachers, so they were always able to see what was happening during the competition!
Magnetic Extremes True Lord Outer Dao, "This is Zhang Yu, the one you mentioned to me? This is the first time I've met him!"
Director Gao did not answer, because no matter how he looked at Zhang Yu, who was being besieged, he looked like he was about to be eliminated!
So Director Gao privately said: Stop talking, stop talking about Zhang Yu, but Director Lin's eyes flashed and he smiled slightly, "This Zhang Yu is Director Gao's beloved disciple, his prized protégé whom he has devoted himself to cultivating!"
Upon seeing Director Lin speak, Wei Huai of the Peace Faction, immediately followed suit.
The author said, "Indeed, Director Gao must have put a lot of effort into Zhang Yu, right? But it seems the situation is dangerous now!"
Just as Director Gao frowned slightly as the Peace Faction steered the conversation toward Zhang Yu, who was about to be eliminated, he saw Zhang Yu fighting fiercely, taking on four opponents single-handedly. Covered in blood, he did not stop and eventually subdued one of them!
Magnetic Extremes True Lord nodded and said, "This student is quite interesting. Old Gao, you've found a good disciple!"
Seeing this, Director Gao's frown immediately turned into a smile, and he said, "I did give this student some pointers, but it was mainly because he worked hard on himself!"
One teacher remarked, "To have mastered Level 20 Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force and Level 20 Battle Demon Lifefall Skill —his martial arts talent goes without saying. And to fight so fearlessly without fear of loss—his physique and fighting spirit are both top-notch!"
Tu Lishan quickly stepped forward and added, "If it weren't for Director Gao recognizing Zhang Yu's potential when he was a freshman last year and recruiting him to the construction site for training, how could he have achieved such a significant improvement?"
Lang Yougong on the other side also said, "I'm their Body Tempering teacher, and I know their progress. Since going to the construction site, Zhang Yu's progress has indeed been rapid, which shows that for our Civil Engineering Department, the future still lies on the construction site!"
Director Lin calmly observed this scene, and after seeing Ma Xuan's group surrender one after another, and finally Ji Yuan Shu also surrender, his gaze grew colder!
Ji Yuan Shu: Teacher, I lost.
Ji Yuan Shu: The main problem is that Ma Xuan and his team are too unreliable. I suspect they received benefits from the War Faction and deliberately threw the match. It's the War Faction trying to suppress me. Director Lin didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the post-match statistics, took a screenshot of some of the data, and sent it to Ji Yuan Shu!
One is the statistics on combat duration, from Zhang Yu with the highest combat duration to Shi Yunxiang with zero combat duration, and Ji Yuan Shu who is second to last!
There's also the damage estimate, and Zhang Yu still ranks first in terms of causing the most damage, accounting for 78% of the team's total!
The team that remains in last place is still Shi Yunxiang, which has been focused on building its team, with a total percentage of 0%!
And then there's Ji Yuan Shu, who's second to last, accounting for 1.5% of the team.
Even Director Lin found this data hilarious!
You still think others are ripping you off?
Director Lin thought to himself, "That kid Ji Yuan Shu Dharma Skeleton, yet he had the shortest combat time and caused the least damage... What a jerk!"
Meanwhile, the other teachers also looked at the post-competition statistics!
Among them, Zhang Yu was the most eye-catching, especially because he accounted for 89% of the team's damage, suffered the most physical injuries, and had the highest estimated losses in the game. These statistics made Zhang Yu's name deeply etched in the hearts of many teachers present!
Tu Lishan exclaimed, "Zhang Yu made the greatest contribution in this battle. To last so long, his physique, Body Protection Technique, force-dissipating skills, fighting will, and combat strategies were all indispensable!"
"Speaking of which, after defeating Ma Xuan and his team in this match, Zhang Yu's team should have made it into the top 10, right?"
"To be in the top ten in your sophomore year is a rare and outstanding achievement!"
Tu Lishan suggested, "It just so happens that this Department Competition has..."
Should the loan award be given to outstanding athletes? I think Zhang Yu should get one!
Wei Huai of the Peace Faction, said calmly, "Zhang Yu's fighting style is simply not feasible in reality. It's only good for competitions. In a real war... there won't be any rules about not being able to kill your opponent!"
"If Ma Xuan and the others hadn't deliberately held back, afraid of killing their opponent, Zhang Yu would have been eliminated long ago!"
"If you like fighting so much, I think you should go to the Security Department. Anyway, it's a stand-in simulation battle, you can fight as much as you want, and you don't have to pay compensation if you kill someone!"
Tu Lishan snorted and said, "Rules are rules. Isn't the point of engineering to work within the rules? Zhang Yu's ability to use the competition rules to win is itself a demonstration of skill!"
"The rules are there, why doesn't Ma Xuan take advantage of them? Why doesn't Bu Ziran fight with all his might? It's just that they don't have the ability. Some people are used to fighting for money, and they've forgotten how to fight with all their might!"
Watching the argument between the two sides, Spirit Peak True Lord nodded slightly and said, "The Civil Engineering Competition has a rule that killing someone will result in compensation, which is to discourage pure combat. Zhang Yu Yu's fighting spirit is commendable, but it is indeed not the style of our Civil Engineering Department, and it is not worth encouraging!"
Tsuchikayama's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Seeing that we're gaining the upper hand, is he going to take sides?"
However, Tu Lishan glanced at Director Gao, and seeing that the other party didn't speak, he also remained silent!
With Spirit Peak True Lord's evaluation, it seemed that Zhang Yu's performance had been definitively judged, and the teachers present fell silent, then began commenting on the other competitions after a short while!
Meanwhile, Director Gao, who hadn't spoken, was contacting Zhang Yu!
Director Gao: How are your injuries? Do you have the money for treatment?
Zhang Yu glanced at Director Gao's question and felt a warmth in his heart, "Does it mean we need to send money?"
Just then, Zhang Yu received another message, this time from Magnetic Extremes True Lord!
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Guess who I'm with
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: A photo of Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao watching the match together! Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback when Director Gao sent another message: "10 Spirit Coin".
Director Gao: Take this and use it to replenish your supplies.
Director Gao: We're already in the top ten, so we don't need to push ourselves so hard in the next round.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: You wouldn't want Director Gao to know that you secretly became my disciple, would you?
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: How's the Artifact Forging Course going? Try to finish the first three years' worth of material before the end of your sophomore year.
Magnetic Extremes True Lord: You'll be rewarded if you succeed.
