Within the Spirit Realm Space.

As the match time expired, the final results of all five matches were determined.

The most unexpected result for the many teachers present was naturally the outcome between Zhang Yu's team and Su Yanyang's team.

It could even be said that Zhang Yu and his team had been surprising many teachers present ever since they defeated Ma Xuan's group.

Seeing that Zhang Yu, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, and Yu Xinghan from his class had already achieved a top-7 ranking in the Civil Engineering Department's competition in their sophomore year, Jiao Lei Zhenren thought to himself that his prize money this year would be substantial!

But the smile that had just appeared on his lips was quickly suppressed when he glanced at Director Lin, who stood to the side with an indifferent expression and remained silent.

Tu Lishan, on the other hand, had no such concerns and laughed, saying, "It seems that no matter how much money Su Danyang throws at it or how fancy the Intelligent Architecture are, it's not as practical as Zhang Yu and Shi Huaiyu doing the work honestly!"

Tu Lishan was clearly delighted that his disciple Shi Huaiyu had achieved seventh place!

Originally, after this disciple made money in the stock market, he thought that the other party lacked the Immortal Destiny and had limited future potential. He also thought that the resources he invested in the other party would not yield much return. But now it seems that things have turned around for the better!

"However, we really can't lend Huaiyu any more money for stock or Coin Speculation in the future!"

Recalling Shi Huaiyu's two instances of exploding kidneys during competitions, Tu Lishan thought to himself, "I originally thought that after suffering so many losses, she would be able to change her impulsive personality, but now it seems that this flaw won't be corrected anytime soon!"

Lang Yougong remarked with feeling, "I feel that Zhang Yu made another subtle breakthrough in both his mind and body in the final stage, which shows that the greater the pressure, the better he can perform!"

Tu Lishan nodded in agreement. He had also noticed that Zhang Yu, in terms of construction style, construction system, cultivation path, and even his own personality, seemed to be the type who became stronger when facing stronger opponents and performed better under pressure!

"Those of us in Civil Engineering need this kind of resilience!"

Tu Lishan thought to himself, "If we want to further unleash his potential, we should give this kid some really tough challenges!"

"For example, Unfinished Building, forced demolitions, historical sites in their basements, environmental protection projects, or those projects that have been unfinished for hundreds of years... might further accelerate its completion!"

"But judging from the current situation, this kid has been able to push the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal to Level 10 or above, and the Battle Demon Lifefall Skill and Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force to Level 20 in such a short time. This talent is truly rare. Director Gao probably won't feel comfortable letting him go to a dangerous place in the short term!"

As he pondered, Tu Lishan came up with some plans on how to maximize Zhang Yu's potential and profits!

Meanwhile, Director Gao, standing to the side, was scrolling through the chat history in Zhang Ming's Competition Group, and sighed with emotion, "

"This kid, he's actually spending his own money to support his teammates? He only has a few Spirit Coin, and he's trying to act like a rich person and throw money around?"

What surprised Director Gao even more was that three of his classmates also joined in spending money!

Looking at Zhang Yu, Director Gao suddenly felt a strange yet nostalgic feeling, a feeling he hadn't had for a very long time!

On the other side, Magnetic Extremes True Lord was also reviewing the communication information between the two Competition Team!

"Su Yanyang really knows how to achieve the best results with the lowest cost!"

"Give him a project with a budget of 5 Spirit Coin, and he might achieve the effect of 10 Spirit Coin!"

"If he were under my command, I might put him in charge of a group of Soul Cultivator!"

"And Zhang Yu..." Magnetic Extremes True Lord thought to himself, "This kid, he's clearly not rich, yet he's someone his teammates trust!"

"He might have a talent for attracting investment and funding!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord knew that compared to talents in Martial Dao, weapon crafting, alchemy, and so on, the kind of charisma that could inspire belief, even under high pressure and high risk, could still motivate people to invest more.

The ability to invest is even rarer!

Giving this kind of person 5 Spirit Coin might be a loss, but it could also create the effect of 100 Spirit Coin!

Today, all the powerful figures in Kunxu who have become incredibly wealthy by creating currency possess unparalleled talent in this area, enabling them to leverage massive amounts of resources on their own!

"That's really something!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord thought to himself, "But there's no rush in this regard. Let's continue to train him and see how far he can go. Anyway, it's Old Gao's money that's being burned!"

Thinking of this, Magnetic Extremes True Lord was even more satisfied. Free... that was what Magnetic Extremes True Lord was most satisfied with about Zhang Yu!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Director Lin repeatedly reviewed Zhang Yu's several special performances in the competition at a hundred times the speed, thinking to himself, "This is not Gao Chongguang's style. The person behind Zhang Yu's guidance is either from the Architecture Department, or the Artifact Crafting Department or the Talisman Department!"

"They're even throwing money at people to win them over? It seems Gao Chongguang really gave him a lot of Spirit Coin!"

Thinking about this, Director Lin had an idea. "I wonder what the price would be for bringing him under my wing?"

Since gaining the backing of the Finance Department, Director Lin has become increasingly wealthy and powerful over the years. He thought to himself, "Let..."

Jiao Lei should talk to him. At least 2.5 times Ji Yuan Shu's power level is definitely worthwhile; anything higher will require considering other factors..."

Meanwhile, with the battle results revealed, the post-match rankings also emerged based on each team's building completion rate!

The first place was won by the Peace Faction's Profound Measurement Heaven team, the second place was won by the War Faction's Mo Shang Jin team, and the third place was won by the Neutral Faction!

The remaining 4th and 5th places were won by the Peace Faction, the 6th place belonged to the War Faction, and Zhang Yu's team ranked 7th!

Of the top seven teams, three are War Faction, three are Peace Faction, and one is Neutral Faction!

Currently, the Peace Faction appear to be in the lead overall, while the Neutral Faction is lagging far behind!

Then it wouldn't look so bad!

Therefore, the Neutral Faction teachers all thought of Su Yanyang. If Su Yanyang could squeeze into 7th place, the Neutral Faction's results would be...

Director Lin watched this scene and thought to himself, "We have the overall advantage at the moment, but Mo Shang Jin will definitely challenge Profound Measurement Heaven and the others in the next round!"

Director Gao thought to himself, "Next, the other side will definitely try to wear down Mo Shang Jin and reduce his chances of success in the challenge!"

Magnetic Pole True Person messaged Director Gao: "That's it for today, I'm leaving."

The next moment, Magnetic Pole True Person had vanished without a trace!

Seeing this, Director Gao quickly replied: Don't forget the time for the next performance.

Meanwhile, off the field!

"Seventh."

Seeing that the line had reached seventh place, Yu Xinghan clenched his fists excitedly, and then he and Ying Xin next to him burst into laughter!

On the other side, Gongshu Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his Spirit Coin hadn't been wasted!

Immediately afterward, Gongshu Jin started borrowing money, he thought to himself...

"The team was able to get two copies of the Seven Absolutes, and Zhang Yu got one of them!"

"As for the other one, Shi Huaiyu should have had the best chance, but she's probably out of money!"

"If I offer enough, I have a chance to win it, and it shouldn't be too expensive!"

Gongshu Jin immediately understood that this was the time to compete in terms of Immortal Dao Potential, bloodline bonds, and Lineage heritage!

Meanwhile, Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, Tian Yang, and others around them, though covered in injuries, were all in a cheerful mood, taking screenshots, posting on their Moments Moments, and updating their resumes!

Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Your last piece of steel reinforcement was badly installed... I mean, badly installed well enough to make it difficult for them to dismantle and recycle!"

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Zhang Yu quickly stopped the other person from speaking, "Although we won this competition, it violated too many of my conscience and principles as a Civil Engineering engineer. In the future, unless absolutely necessary, I will never..."

Do that again!

Shi Huaiyu looked at Zhang Yu with some admiration. "This guy... is just as shameless as Earth Teacher! He must have been scavenging for food at construction sites all the time!"

Just then, a quarrel broke out in the distance; it was Su Yanyang arguing with his teammates!

Shi Huaiyu turned her head with a hint of satisfaction, and seeing Su Yanyang surrounded by the crowd, a smile appeared on her lips, "Ha, Su Yanyang might have to rejoin the team next year!"

A loud shout rang out, "Su Yanyang, what right do you have to fine me?"

"I think the biggest problem is with your command. I told you to just attack directly!"

"They can't beat us at all. If we all rush in, we might just win!"

"It's all your fault! Why did you insist on building this Intelligent Architecture and this huge array!"

Looking at his angry teammates, Su Yanyang coldly said, "My command was fine, the problem lies with your competition."

"Your attitude is the problem, especially yours... Whether it's combat duration or construction scale, it's the lowest in the team. According to Team Rules, you should be fined!"

The other party retorted angrily, "Wasn't it you who made me clean up the Sha Qi pollution right from the start?"

"Then let me ask you, does the data include any statistics on how I cleansed away the Sha Qi and pollution?"

"Then let me ask you, does the data include statistics on how I cleared the evil spirits?"

Is it due to air pollution?

"Then let me ask you again, does the data include any statistics on your mistakes in Soul Cultivator?"

Answer me.

At the same time, Soul Cultivator sent a message to Su Yanyang: "Boss, you haven't paid yet!"

Su Yanyang replied, "You have the nerve to ask for money with work like this? I've already applied for a refund."

After blocking the other party, Su Yanyang continued arguing with his teammates, and soon after, he received a payment reminder from the intermediary company behind Soul Cultivator.

Agency: Mr. Su Yanyang

If you insist on refusing to pay, we will have no choice but to sue you.

At the same time, the reply from Dharma Skeleton Company also appeared in Su Yanyang's Eye Remains!

Ten Thousand Craftsmen Sect Customer Service: Mr. Su Yanyang, according to the information from the scene, the Dharma Skeleton was not malfunctioning; rather, your meridians were invaded. Your claim cannot be approved!

Just then, the substitute players also came over, demanding that Su Yanyang refund their money!

In an instant, Su Yanyang felt his anger growing ever stronger!

"A bunch of useless people, each and every one of them is holding me back!"

Thinking of this, he didn't bother with the others anymore, shoved his teammates aside with a bang, and left on his own!
