After stepping into the Great Two Realms Separation Formation, with the disconnection of the Spirit Realm Network, Zhang Yu not only lost access to messages in the Competition Group and could no longer communicate with his teammates, but the world before his eyes also changed drastically.

I can't see the various markings my teammates made on the visual field of my Eye Remains.

The various pieces of information that were originally constantly changing could no longer be seen.

Even the lighting in the entire stadium dimmed, and all the warnings, competition rules, and advertisements that had been floating in the air disappeared.

Turning my head to look outside the barrier, I found that the neon lights and colorful lights around the arena had all disappeared without a trace!

After communication with the Spirit Realm was cut off, all that remained before my eyes were rows of gray buildings, like a primitive, ignorant world. There was no longer any sign of the vibrant life from the Spirit Realm, making the real world seem so pale and dull!

Zhang Yu realized that he had unknowingly become accustomed to communicating with the Spirit Realm world at all times. Without the support of the Spirit Realm, he always felt that nothing went smoothly!

The next moment, as Tian Yang struck Zhang Yu with his palm, Zhang Yu felt a sharp Sword Intent descend from the sky, pouring into his body and breaking through numerous barriers, helping him to reconnect with the Spirit Realm and making the world before him clear and colorful again!

At the same time, news about Shi Huaiyu resurfaced in everyone's Eye Remains!

Shi Huaiyu: Where are you all?

Tian Yang: I just used the Patrolling Sky Sword to break through the Great Chen, Two Realms Separation.

Tian Yang: Don't send anything that uses too much data!

Tian Yang: Otherwise, if I run into debt, it'll be troublesome if they turn me into Spiritless Body!

While everyone was talking, Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan, and Tian Yang had already quickly ventured deeper into the defensive fortifications built by Su Yanyang! As they went deeper, they could feel that the interior of this insect nest-like structure became increasingly winding and complex!

At the same time, their Spiritual Energy gradually diminished, causing their mana recovery speed to decline again and again!

Shi Huaiyu reminded him: As Su Yanyang's Formation becomes more complete and his Spirit Vein occupancy rate increases, the Spiritual Energy content in the air will gradually decrease!

Shi Huaiyu: The deeper we go, the more serious the situation will become, so you need to conserve your magic power in the following operations!

Just then, Zhang Yu stopped and frowned, saying, "Aren't we going in circles?"

He compared the footage that the Time Remnant Demon Eye had just recorded with the footage and realized that he had definitely traveled the same path before!

But Xiao Qingxuan shook his head. "I compared it with the route we just took, we shouldn't have been here before!"

Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. "Did I see wrong?"

He posted the comparison images to the group chat, Tian Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Don't post such high-resolution pictures!"

Looking at the picture, Xiao Qingxuan said, "Is there something wrong with the Eye Remains? We've never been to this place!"

Zhang Yu frowned, a deep sense of doubt rising in his heart! (In the Spirit Realm Space!)

The teachers, having had a full three-hour break beforehand, certainly wouldn't let the idea of splitting up wait idly by!

Now that the new round of competition has officially begun, many teachers from the Civil Engineering Department have arrived one after another!

Although Magnetic Extremes True Lord arrived late, becoming the last person to arrive, no one at the scene dared to say anything!

Upon seeing the arrival of Magnetic Extremes True Lord, Director Gao breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was truly afraid that the other party would be too lazy to continue watching the competition and simply not come!

Director Gao messaged privately: Why did it take so long? What were you doing?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: My new student has achieved some results, and out of curiosity, I looked into it further!

Director Gao: Oh? You mean the one who got in through the back door?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Yes, now it seems that those who use back channels do have their advantages!

Director Gao: That's for sure. Things are different now than before. In the past, only those who lacked ability had to use connections. Now, being able to use connections means you have ability!

Director Gao: What's the student's name?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord did not answer Director Gao, but looked at the five competitions in front of him and suddenly said, "Oh? In our Ten Thousand Laws University, there are people using Patrolling Sky Sword?"

At this moment, there aren't many teachers watching the competition between Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang!

After all, in the eyes of most teachers, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great to be interesting, and the process was bound to be a crushing defeat for Su Yanyang!

But as soon as Magnetic Extremes True Lord spoke, many teachers immediately focused their attention on him!

When Lang Yougong saw Zhang Yu take out the Azure Silk Flying Sword, intending to use the Patrolling Sky Sword of Heaven Sword University to break the Great Two Realms Separation Formation, he was slightly surprised and said, "Zhang Yu can use the Patrolling Sky Sword? When did he apply to Heaven Sword University for it?"

One teacher commented, "This isn't a typical commercial tactic. The flying sword crafted from this green silk has the authority to directly connect to the Patrolling Sky Sword. It seems to have been a gift from someone of considerable status at Heaven Sword University!"

Director Lin's expression remained unchanged, his gaze seemingly as calm as a still well, but his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts!

In particular, he recalled the meeting between Wen Wuya, a Nascent Soul disciple of Heaven Sword University, and Zhang Yu not long ago!

Director Lin: "That old bastard Gao Zongguang has actually made contact with that Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavenly Sword. Could it be that they've reached some kind of agreement regarding the use of the Patrolling Sky Sword?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord couldn't help but glance at Director Gao a couple more times, and privately asked, "You've partnered with Heaven Sword University on the Patrolling Sky Sword?"

The Spirit Realm is of utmost importance to every cultivator!

After leaving the Spirit Realm, not only will life and spiritual practice become inconvenient, but even work and study efficiency will be greatly reduced!

Ensuring stable communication with the Spirit Realm Spirit Realm, especially outside of University City, is extremely important!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord conjured up the image of the pair of suns and moons in the sky, thinking to himself, "Our Ten Thousand Laws University's 'Illuminating Sun and Moon is indeed excellent, but the tuition is just too expensive!"

"If we could introduce the Patrolling Sky Sword to compete with it, we could save an incredible amount of money each year!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord knew very well that the scale of their use of the Spirit Realm, whether it was the Artifact Crafting Department or the Civil Engineering Department, was unmatched by any individual student!

The monthly expenses spent on the Spirit Realm are a considerable expenditure for any department!

"Old Gao really found him a way to get back at him!"

"From the perspective of cost reduction and efficiency improvement using the Patrolling Sky Sword, the Heaven Sword University has a much more convenient entry point than any debate about whether to Pro-Peace Pro-War or peace!"

Director Gao looked at the message sent by Magnetic Extremes True Lord, but did not reply!

However, he maintained a mysterious expression on his face! Director Gao thought of the friendship between Wen Wuya and Zhang Yu!

"Could the flying sword forged from that black hair be the Wen Wuya Cutting Hair to Forge a Sword and then gave to Zhang Yu?"

"Has their relationship progressed to this point?"

Director Gao was utterly astonished. Could such a thing still happen among the young people of Kunxu these days?

A Nascent Soul disciple and a student from the first level hit it off immediately. The disciple cut off his hair as a gift and even gave the student a channel to connect to the Patrolling Sky Sword!

Director Gao couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Yu had become a spy within Ten Thousand Methods, betraying some intelligence to the other side!

But he quickly dismissed the absurd idea, thinking to himself, "I'll ask him properly next time!"

"My disciple is truly exceeding my expectations more and more!"

Meanwhile, the match continues!

Seeing the changes in Zhang Yu after he penetrated deeper into the defensive fortifications, Wei Huai, the teacher of the Peace Faction, said, "He's fallen into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewildering Formation!"

A teacher standing nearby said, "It is indeed the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewildering Formation. They must have been caught in the Spirit Realm Connection when they shared the Patrolling Sky Sword!"

"Eye Remains they see now is a mix of truth and falsehood, and the messages they receive are generated by the Formation Spirit. Every move they make is practically under Su Yanyang's watchful eye!"

Another Neutral Faction teacher praised, "Su Yanyang and his team set up the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewitching Array quite well, which shows they've mastered the relevant courses on Intelligent Architecture!"

Tu Lishan knew that the Intelligent Architecture course for senior students combined architecture and Formation to add Formation Spirit and Room Spirit to buildings, thereby realizing the intelligentization, digitalization and informatization of buildings!

Wei Huai said, "Su Yanyang's cost control is also very good. He successfully operated the Myriad Ghosts Bewildering Wei Formation with only 3 Soul Cultivator. It achieved good results!"

On the field!

Fu Ji suddenly said, "Zhang Yu, you've probably been tricked. Your vision has been clouded, and the information your Eye Remains receive has even been distorted!"

A thought flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, "Has my Eye Remains been tampered with?"

In order to allow his eyes to continuously adapt to his enhanced body, Zhang Yu Yuchang has always worn Eye Remains alternately with his two eyes!

Although this prevented the Time Remnant Demon Eye from reaching its optimal performance, it still allowed him to observe with the naked eye at this moment!

However, Zhang Yu closed his left eye one moment and his right eye the next, but he didn't see anything unusual in front of him!

Fu Ji said calmly, "Don't bother trying. If they can target your Eye Remains, they can certainly target your naked eye vision too."

"These Formation that can deceive perception are all improvements made from Ancient Version Formation!"

Fu Ji spoke eloquently, "The Ancient Version Formation was originally created to deceive the physical senses. It was only after the appearance of the Eye Remains that it was found to be ineffective against Eye Remains, so it was improved to interfere with both the physical body and the Dharma Skeleton at the same time!"

"Do you know why what you just saw conflicted with what Xiao Qingxuan and Tian Yang saw? It's because you used the Time Remnant Demon Eye, which is far superior to their Eye Remains, allowing you to hold out for a longer period!"

"If you want to test it, try sending a message. The messages you send and receive are probably all distorted now!"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and sent a message to the Competition Group!

Zhang Yu: "@Yu Xinghan, do you remember what Red Silk Senior's latest work is?"

Yu Xinghan: <The Blooming Secret Bud>, released last month

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Tch, how could Yu Xinghan be so open about what's said in the Competition Group?"

"After all, in Kunxu, a small group like us who appreciate these works with a purely artistic eye, rather than through Dual Cultivation, has always been persecuted and discriminated against!"

"The real Yu Xinghan should pretend he didn't see the message I sent him, or pretend he doesn't know what I'm saying!"

"It seems I, Fu Ji, was right; all the messages we're receiving and sending now are fake!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu grabbed Xiao Qingxuan beside him and said bluntly, "We've been blinded and our messages have been distorted!"
