Upon seeing the message from Director Gao, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. His first thought was that his relationship with Magnetic Extremes True Lord had been exposed.

After reading through the message sent by Director Gao twice more and pondering it for a while, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Director Gao doesn't seem angry, or he's being sarcastic."

"Did they really introduce Magnetic Extremes True Lord to me?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu decided to send a message to Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

Zhang Yu: True Lord, Teacher Gao sent me to find you?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Old Gao wants to help you out and asked me to give you some guidance.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: He would never have imagined that his universally praised Registered Disciple had already secretly become my disciple before even formally becoming his disciple, would he?

Zhang Yu: True Lord, what are you planning to do?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Of course, I'm guiding you.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Don't worry, as long as you behave, I guarantee no one will be harmed.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Come to this address.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: This is the Training Room that Old Gao prepared for us. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yu has already arrived at the Training Room!

Then, the four large characters "Magnetic Extremes True Lord" appeared, along with a text box projected onto the screen!

"The break between the first and second halves is only fifteen minutes long, so I'll speak to you at ten times the speed!"

The next moment, Magnetic Extremes True Lord's speech suddenly accelerated, as if a series of incantations were rapidly reverberating in the air!

Zhang Yu calmed his mind and focused his spirit. He activated the Time Remnant Demon Eye to accelerate his thinking, while his Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body promoted the Quadruple Thinking, checking for omissions and filling gaps. He was able to keep up with the speed of the Magnetic Extremes True Lord's speech!

"The key to your next match against Su Yanyang's team lies in breaking through their advantage in Intelligent Architecture!"

"While Intelligent Architecture sound impressive, they're really just a gimmick. The underlying technology is still the same old stuff— Civil Engineering, Formation, and Soul Cultivator!"

"You already possess Civil Engineering skills, so I won't elaborate!"

"As for formations, magical artifacts can perform all the functions of formations!"

"The biggest difference is that when achieving the same function, Law Treasure are often faster and more portable, while Formation take up more space but cost relatively less!"

"You could say that Formation are the poor man's Law Treasure, only they use space and inconvenience to obtain the same Immortal Dao Law Treasure!"

"However, in reality, even the wealthiest people have to make choices between the two, and often end up using both Formation and Law Treasure together, just like using Dharma Skeleton and Law Treasure together!"

"In short, the weakness of the Formation lies in its spatial constraints and inconvenience!"

As Magnetic Extremes True Lord spoke, he sent Zhang Yu a document!

Zhang Yu clicked on it and found that it contained the Formation Diagram for the Great Two Realms Separation Formation, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Bewildering Formation, and the Thousand Mountains Heavy Peak Formation!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "Su Yanyang has set up three great formations in total, Two Realms Separation and severing communication Spirit Realm, causing countless ghosts to bewitch their senses, disrupting their vision and communication, reinforcing the buildings with thousands of mountains and towering peaks, and drawing away Spirit Vein!"

"Moreover, these three great formations have been modified by Professor Chen Fa of the Civil Engineering Department, making them interconnected and nested, subtly transforming into a unified whole!"

"I've also authorized the transmission of this Formation Diagram, so I'll transmit it to you for free today!"

Although Zhang Yu had also studied Engineering Array Diagramming, he only recognized some of the most basic Formation Diagram, such as those often used on construction sites to reinforce building strength and Formation!

Although he had actually fought one round against the three great formations set up by Su Yanyang, he still knew very little about them!

Upon opening this Formation Diagram, I discovered it contained hundreds of pages of dense text, covering various Civil Engineering, spiritual energy, veins, geology, and other related knowledge!

Just as Zhang Yu's scalp tingled from looking at it, Magnetic Extremes True Lord said at the same time, "You must memorize these three Formation Diagram before the battle begins!"

"Also, I just marked some key points on it; these are crucial for breaking the Formation. You must memorize these key points repeatedly!"

Zhang Yu was secretly alarmed. "I haven't even finished reading the table of contents, and Magnetic Extremes True Lord has already marked the key points? Just how fast is his thinking speed?"

At the same time, Magnetic Extremes True Lord continued, "Only after you have finished learning the Formation Diagram can you think of a way to break the Formation!"

Zhang Yu's spirits lifted, and he asked, "Is there a way to break Su Yanyang's Formation?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord scoffed, "What kind of breaking is it to merely break Formation? That's just brute force. True breaking is when you can steal or hijack the opponent's Formation!"

"Speaking of which, remember to find two reliable Soul Cultivator to assist you in breaking the formation before the battle begins!"

"Soul Cultivator is like a poor man's weapon spirit. If your opponent uses a weapon spirit and you don't, it's like you've lost an equipment slot. Before the fight even starts, you're already at a disadvantage!"

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "You even know about the equipment slots?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said calmly, "Nonsense, I was one of the first people to make games. It's a pity that rich people are playing fewer and fewer games, and in the end, it's all the poor playing them. Games are becoming less and less profitable, so I left a long time ago!"

After a casual remark, Magnetic Extremes True Lord explained the secrets of breaking the formation, which Zhang Yu mastered on his own after learning the Formation Diagram!

Halfway through the explanation, Zhang Yu asked doubtfully, "They want to insert my Soul Cultivator into their grand formation? But I don't have that kind of powerful Talisman Department abilities!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "It's not like I'm asking you to Remote Operation. You've already broken into the Formation, so why not just use physical contact to transmit the data? You can study the Formation Diagram yourself later and see where you can transmit!"

After explaining the method of breaking the formation, Magnetic Extremes True Lord continued, "Finally, I will teach you a technique I created myself, the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand, to deal with Su Yanyang's Dharma Skeleton!"

"The so-called Dharma Skeleton is a part of the body, but its essence is still Law Treasure, which needs to be activated by magical power!"

"And the human body transmits magical power to the Dharma Skeleton through the meridians!"

"If one can strike acupoints and sever meridians, the efficiency of the Dharma Skeleton can be temporarily reduced, and if one's skill is profound enough, it can even render the Dharma Skeleton temporarily ineffective!"

"This Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand is Cultivation Method I use to adjust and maintain my Dharma Skeleton, but there are two major prerequisites for using it in combat!"

"Firstly, the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand is a meridian-severing technique. It has no destructive power in itself. You need to break through the opponent's Body Protecting Qi and inject Magnetic Magical Power into the opponent's body for it to take effect!"

"Secondly, to successfully sever the meridians, one must accurately identify Acupoints and meridians, and understand the Acupoints and meridians connected to different types and models of Dharma Skeleton!"

"I'm sending you the meridians Acupoints that Su Yanyang connected with Dharma Skeleton this time. In the future, when you encounter other opponents, you'll have to find your own way to understand and learn them!"

Zhang Yu received another document from the other party regarding the connection of the Dharma Skeleton Body Meridians, and was subsequently granted the right to use the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand Cultivation Method!

"Alright, now I will guide you through the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand!"

"First, one must condense a Magnetic Magical Power. This Magnetic Magical Power is like the magnetism of a Magnetic Channel, most adept at penetrating flesh and blood. Once it swirls within the meridians, it can block magical power, thus preventing it from penetrating the Body Protecting Qi!"

After speaking, Magnetic Extremes True Lord guided Zhang Yu through the demonstration, then said, "These Thirty-Six Forms of Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand- Severing Hand Techniques correspond to a total of thirty-six meridians in the human body. Magnetic Magical Power must be injected in different ways to effectively treat the problem. You are pressed for time this time; you must master them before the competition begins!"

As Zhang Yu continued practicing, he said, "True Lord, I feel like I've almost mastered it!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu's mind was filled with the movements of the Thirty-Six Styles of the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand, as if he had been practicing it for a long time!

In fact, as Magnetic Extremes True Lord assigned Zhang Yu one arduous task after another, requiring Zhang Yu to complete them all within a short span of ten minutes, Zhang Yu gradually became more and more anxious!

However, Zhang Yu thought that since Magnetic Extremes True Lord had made such a request, he must have thought that Zhang Yu was very likely to be able to do it! So after demonstrating the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand once, he felt that the Cultivation Method was not too complicated, so Zhang Yu stopped pretending and said that he had almost mastered it!

Upon hearing this, Magnetic Extremes True Lord asked doubtfully, "Have you grasped it sufficiently?"

Having just watched Zhang Yu's first demonstration, Magnetic Extremes True Lord still saw the numerous mistakes in Zhang Yu's moves and simply couldn't believe that Zhang Yu had mastered the Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand!

As Zhang Yu fought, his movements became increasingly skillful, and he said, "True Lord, I've rehearsed it in my mind countless times, and I feel like I've truly mastered it!"

Watching Zhang Yu's increasingly skilled and organized fighting style, Magnetic Extremes True Lord was also surprised. "He really learned it?"

"I originally thought that I would just let him learn the few Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand that would be used in this competition, but he actually mastered all thirty-six Magnetic Meridian Severing Hand in one go?"

"No wonder Old Gao values this kid so much; he actually has such strong Martial Arts Aptitude! If he studied in the Security Department for a few years, he could probably become a flag bearer!"

"Regardless of whether he can pursue a career in weapon crafting in the future, he certainly possesses exceptional innate talent in being crafted!"

"Even if he's not a genius, he's still a talent!"

After thinking for a moment, Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "Now that you've mastered the Meridian-Severing Hand, spend your time learning Formation Diagram, and don't forget the preparations you'll need for Soul Cultivator and other array-breaking techniques..."

Zhang Yu bowed respectfully to the Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "Hurry up and don't stand on ceremony, you may go now!"

Within the Spirit Realm Space, Magnetic Extremes True Lord glanced at Director Gao beside him!

Director Gao smiled slightly and asked privately: How is it?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: What? How about it?

Gao Zhuren: How is Zhang Yu performing? Can he win?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Not bad. I've already taught him the method; the rest is up to him to figure out.

Sensing the understated tone of Magnetic Extremes True Lord's words, Director Gao thought to himself, "It seems Zhang Yu's performance was rather mediocre?"

Director Gao then asked, "Just okay?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: What else? What kind of genius haven't I seen?

Sensing the fleeting disappointment in Director Gao's words, Magnetic Extremes True Lord thought to himself, "Old Gao, don't blame me later!"

"It was your disciple who came looking for you first, not me who made the first move!"

"Blame it on your Civil Engineering Department department for lacking charisma and being unable to retain staff!"

"I will take good care of him for you in the future!"
