Two Realms Separation, Patrolling Sky Sword
Che Yufei hadn't participated in many competitions, so he couldn't understand Su Yanyang's actions. He asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Won't they attack?
"Shouldn't the attacking side be pressing forward as quickly as possible?"
Shi Huaiyu let out a breath and slowly explained, "A direct attack is only used when the gap between the two sides is extremely large... It's not a tactic used in most matches between the top ten."
Since the Civil Engineering competition is Civil Engineering Competition, the primary goal is naturally to assess Civil Engineering skills; the combat is merely the environment in which the competition takes place!
"Otherwise, the rule against killing people wouldn't have been set!"
"Su Yanyang is too cautious, so he doesn't give us a chance to fight head-on at all. He's going to use their best abilities to crush us!"
"The first thing they should do is cover up the armor!"
Just as Shi Huaiyu was speaking, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake violently!
At the same time, the land in the distance undulated, and layers of black barriers rose up, as if transforming into city walls, rapidly spreading in everyone's sight!
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single thing, not a single wonder, not a single novel to read!
Shi Huaiyu murmured, "It was enhanced by the Earthly Fiend God, using the Small Three Harmonies combined with Finger Pointing Turns to Steel, and then with Twisting Soil to Turn it into Turning Soil into Gold. First, the mud and sand were moved, then shaped and strengthened, and finally the metal elements were refined to further increase the strength. Next should be the Formation!"
The next moment, everyone sensed a change in the Spiritual Energy in the air, and their expressions changed slightly!
Immediately following, various vibrations and tremors emanated from underground, increasing in number and spreading further and further away, as if the entire stadium had transformed into a giant construction site!
Shi Huaiyu explained, "The armor is for protecting the Formation. Once the Formation is set up, it will begin to devour the Spirit Vein, disturb the foundation, and change the terrain!"
"Once the Spirit Vein is devoured, we will find it difficult to recover our magical power!"
"Once they know the terrain, they will alter the geological structure to make it unsuitable for construction, causing our bunkers to deform and collapse!"
Che Yufei said helplessly, "The opponent is too strong. I'm afraid we don't have much of a chance!"
Faced with such a grand scene, everyone present felt the urge to back down!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu frowned. He knew he couldn't let his teammates' morale continue to plummet!
Then, his gaze shifted, and he said, "Everyone, do you know how many teachers are watching us right now?"
"The vast majority of the department's professors, including the three department heads, are all watching our competition!"
"To surrender like that in front of all the teachers! Do you think you can ever hold your heads high in the Civil Engineering Department again?"
Upon hearing Zhang Yu's words, Che Yufei and the others, who had just been considering retreating, were all startled!
Zhang Yu continued, "And have you considered how rare this opportunity to showcase your talent is?"
"How difficult was it for you to get this opportunity to showcase your abilities to so many teachers?"
"Win or lose, at least give it your all and show your best!"
After listening to what Zhang Yu said, Che Yufei had to admit that what he said made sense!
Especially when I think back to the changes after I made it into the top ten of the competition!
If we were to surrender now, it would likely leave a bad impression on many leaders in the Civil Engineering Department!
Conversely, if you demonstrate your abilities in this competition, even if you lose in the end, it will probably be more useful than submitting a resume!
Zhang Yu, who was standing before them, was a Registered Disciple of Director Gao, which made Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang and others trust his words even more!
"Hahahaha!" Che Yufei laughed loudly and said, "Zhang Yu, you're right. This is a great opportunity for us to show our skills. How can we back down so easily?"
With a roar, his muscles trembled violently, and he aged several degrees amidst puffs of white steam, the wrinkles on his face deepening without him even noticing!
Che Yufei grinned and said, "Let's give it one more shot!"
But as he aged, his aura surged repeatedly, leaving a trail of afterimages as he instantly arrived beside the building materials!
As his body flashed back and forth, the foundation of the bunker changed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Seeing this, Zhang Yu opened his mouth, looked at the aging Che Yufei, and couldn't help but say, "There's really no need to push yourself so hard!"
Shi Yunxiang chimed in, "Don't worry, it's just a slight reduction in lifespan. Old Che knows what he's doing!"
"And you're right, we've finally made it to the leaders, we can't let this go to waste. How can we demonstrate our Civil Engineering Spirit without sacrificing a bit of our lifespan?"
With a roar, Shi Yunxiang unleashed a burst of explosive Cultivation Method, followed by the activation of his Hand Skeleton, creating a deep crater with a few palm strikes!
The abilities the two were displaying at this moment were not only for their powerful construction skills in building foundations and manufacturing cement, but also for their expertise in setting up Formation, as if they had done it countless times before!
It's just because they've gotten used to setting up Formation themselves when they're involved in construction, all for the sake of earning extra money for Formation installation. They've become intimately familiar with all the basic Formation taught by the Civil Engineering Department department!
Seeing this, a team of Formless Warrior appeared behind Zhang Yu, and Xiao Qingxuan roared with Dragon-Shaped Gang Qi. Everyone rushed to help, further accelerating the construction of the bunker!
Looking at the people working hard at the construction site, Shi Huaiyu touched his lower back and said to the talisman in his Ghost Kidney, "Help me calculate how much time we have left!"
The Soul Cultivator inside the kidney replied, "I'm only here to help you suppress the Ghost Kidney; I'm not responsible for anything else."
Shi Huaiyu: I downloaded the Ghost Kidney Suppression and Portable Calculation Package, which also mentioned that Ghost Kidney provides calculation services.
Shi Huaiyu: I know you can access the Calculation Pool in the Spirit Realm, don't play dumb with me.
The Soul Cultivator reluctantly agreed, and after a moment gave the result. "At your current pace, you should be able to complete the bunker and Formation in about 40 minutes!"
Shi Huaiyu then asked, "And what about the other side?"
The Soul Cultivator said, "Based on the data we have so far, their Spirit Vein ratio will exceed 50% in about 20 minutes!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Huaiyu's gaze sharpened. "So fast?"
The Soul Cultivator said, "According to my calculations, their final Spirit Vein percentage will be around 74%, while yours will be 26%."
"They will completely control the terrain. Once they use their power to alter the geological structure, all your current efforts will be in vain!"
Shi Huaiyu frowned slightly and sent the calculated data directly to the group!
Everyone immediately realized that they couldn't compete with their opponents in terms of construction capabilities if they continued to rely on this method.
Within the Spirit Realm Space!
A teacher watching Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang's match nodded slightly and said, "This is what Civil Engineering Competition should be like! Su Yanyang is playing steadily, building strong foundations, and fighting tough battles. He's all about overwhelming others with his sheer force of will!"
The Peace Faction teacher, Wei Huai, said, "This is the difference in funds and assets. What's the use of Zhang Yu fighting so hard? Can he compete with so much money?"
Neither Tu Lishan nor Lang Yougong, nor the teachers of the War Faction, offered any rebuttal!
After all, Su Yanyang's team completely overwhelmed their opponents!
Tu Lishan completely ignored Wei Huai's words and instead steered the conversation to Mo Shang Jin, who was currently gaining the upper hand!
But at that moment, Wei Huai continued, "Wrong again!"
He shook his head repeatedly. "Rushing out at a time like this is just reckless bravery! Breaking into someone else's formation? Only the Security Department would act so recklessly!"
Tu Lishan turned his head and saw Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan, and Tian Yang rushing out of the construction site and heading towards the defensive fortifications built by Su Yanyang's team!
The tall, winding barriers, gleaming with a metallic sheen, grew larger and larger in the eyes of Zhang Yu and his companions!
At the same time, Shi Huaiyu's voice was constantly reaching their ears through the Competition Group!
Shi Huaiyu: "With the assistance of the Earthly Fiend God and the Formation, he can completely suppress my Small Three Harmonies. I will stay at the construction site and Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, and the others to complete the construction!"
"But no matter how fast we go, we can't possibly be faster than Su Yanyang and the others!"
"The only way to gain an advantage in this round is to find a way to slow down Su Yanyang and his team's construction efficiency!"
"Steal building materials, cause damage—you have to find a way to make trouble for them!"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "We're clearly on the defensive this round, but we're being forced to launch a counter-attack! Is this the difference in construction capabilities?"
As Zhang Yu and his group stepped into the barrier, they discovered that the barrier, layer upon layer, was like a city wall, with each layer overlapping the others and obscuring the sky. Its complex and winding structure resembled a twisted and deformed insect nest!
Shi Huaiyu's voice disappeared without a trace as soon as they entered!
Xiao Qingxuan frowned and said, "The internet is down!"
Tian Yang, standing to the side, shook his head. "It's Great Two Realms Separation Formation, capable of severing the connection between the Material Realm and the Spirit Realm Network!"
Zhang Yu said, "Shi Huaiyu has a lot of information about Su Yanyang and the others, and she can keep us updated on the progress of both sides. We can't lose contact with her!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at the Azure Silk Flying Sword wrapped around his finger and asked, "If we connect to the Spirit Realm Network through the Patrolling Sky Sword of Heaven Sword University, can we break through the Great Two Realms Separation Formation?"
"The Patrolling Sky Sword?" Tian Yang's eyes lit up as he said, "The Great Two Realms Separation Formation here was hastily set up by Su Yanyang during the competition. With the advantage of the Patrolling Sky Sword, it can easily break through!"
"However, there are three of us. If all three of us use this method to break through the Great Two Realms Separation Formation, the consumption will probably be considerable!"
Zhang Yu nodded. The data usage fee for the Patrolling Sky Sword is much higher than the regular internet fee!
Xiao Qingxuan said helplessly, "Entering someone else's Formation will naturally consume some resources. Those who don't have enough Spirit Coin won't even qualify to enter the formation!"
"For example, I'm currently in debt and can't use the Patrolling Sky Sword!"
Tian Yang glanced at the Azure Silk Flying Sword in Zhang Yu's hand and said, "I have a way to communicate with the Patrolling Sky Sword, and then transfer the Spirit Realm Sword Intent into your bodies. That should be enough to break the Great Two Realms Separation Formation!"
The Azure Silk Flying Sword stuck into Tian Yang's head like an antenna. As a look of pain flashed across his face, he struck Zhang Yu and Xiao Qingxuan with his palms!
"Here you go, this is my last data transfer of the year!"
"It's all for you, use it sparingly!"
