The Loser, Second Wonder
Inside the Luxury Dormitory.
Since losing the competition and having a big argument with Ma Xuan and others, Ji Yuan Shu has been in a very low mood.
In particular, the coldness from his master, Director Lin, made him feel as if he was being abandoned.
When Ji Yuan Shu learned that Zhang Yu's team had defeated Su Yanyang again, he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
His subsequent conversation with Gongshu Jin further confirmed this in his mind.
"It was the War Faction that orchestrated this, investing a lot of resources to help Zhang Yu defeat both me and Su Yanyang."
"Fortunately, Su Yanyang also lost!"
Ji Yuan Shu felt that Su Yanyang's failure made his own failure seem insignificant!
"Master should also understand that this defeat is not my fault!"
"But now that my Luck has turned against me, I'm afraid my master is no longer willing to invest too much in me!"
Thinking of this, Ji Yuan Shu sensed the two credit cards in his mind that were transferring his Luck back and forth. "Dual Cards, Dual Loans have temporarily allowed me to weather this Luck!"
"In the future... I will only be able to fight against the powerful forces of War Faction on my own!"
On a construction site with 667th Layer!
Su Yanyang, who was working, turned around and saw Ma Xuan standing to the side!
Ma Xuan laughed and said, "Watch closely and learn how you compete in Civil Engineering Competition!"
Su Yanyang's face darkened. He turned his head and said coldly, "If it weren't for my incompetent teammates, the lazy Soul Cultivator, and the fact that the opponent had a master guiding them, I would never have lost!"
Ma Xuan nodded and said, "I know, I understand!"
"Senior brother, it's truly a pity for you this time!"
"If you get seventh place this time, you'll be able to collect Seven Absolutes skills next semester. If you pass the Military Certificate exam next year, you can then cultivate the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power!"
Su Yanyang turned to look at Ma Xuan, and remembering that Ma Xuan had also lost to Zhang Yu, he sighed and said, "You were just one step behind!"
"I'm afraid the War Faction also saw the threat I posed, which is why they went to great lengths to target me!"
"Their real target is me, and you've probably been caught in the crossfire too!"
Ma Xuan then asked, "So, senior brother, are you planning to take the Military Certificate exam again next year?"
Su Yanyang said calmly, "Of course, there are only so many opportunities, how can we give them up so easily!"
After exchanging a few more words with the other party, Ma Xuan said, "I kicked Ji Yuan Shu out!"
"Senior brother, you're out of team now!"
"Why don't you join our team for next year's competition?"
Su Yanyang shook his head. "Let's talk about it next year. I don't want to think about the competition right now!"
Nether University!
Wang Yin's mind was fully activated by the Emperor's Heart Technique, and his Dao Heart was as firm as a rock!
Looking back on what had happened to Zhang Yu, he felt it was nothing more than a few hardships!
"No, Zhang Yu lying to me last time was actually a good thing!"
"It was just a mere Spirit Coin, yet it exposed the flaw in my cultivation method, allowing me to overcome the shortcomings in my Dao Heart, thus enabling me to undergo this tempering!"
"Otherwise, with such a huge flaw in my ability to activate the Emperor's Heart, if I were to lose to an expert of the same level in the future, I'm afraid I would never have a chance to recover!"
Wang Yin thought to himself, "On the contrary, through this tempering, I have completely patched up the flaws in my cultivation method, and my future Dao Path will surely be smooth sailing!"
"Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu, I shouldn't hate you; on the contrary, I should thank you!"
"You'll never know how much you've helped me, nor will you know what a terrifying adversary you've created for yourself!"
Sensing Wang Yin's mental state, his mother nodded slightly and said, "You're in good spirits. It seems you've indeed changed your mindset and overcome your inner obstacles!"
Wang Yin smiled slightly and said, "The key to Emperor's Heart is not that he cannot fail, but that he is unafraid of failure!"
"From this moment on, any failure will only become nourishment, enriching my Dao Heart, and will never again hinder the smooth operation of my cultivation technique!"
"From now on, I will control the mental techniques, instead of being bound by them!"
The woman nodded. "What if we encounter Zhang Yu again?"
Wang Yin said calmly, "This Dongyou is nothing more than an ant, a tool for others from beginning to end! Unless absolutely necessary, I have no interest in taking action against him!"
The woman smiled slightly, "Alright, then I'll test your Dao Heart again!"
Having said that, Wang Yin's mother conjured a Light Screen in front of the two of them with a thought!
Looking at what was playing, Wang Yin asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
The woman said calmly, "A competition recording from the Wood Element of the Ten Thousand Laws University!"
"Zhang Yu has participated in this competition!"
"Let's see a side of Zhang Yu you've never seen before!"
Upon hearing Zhang Yu's name, Wang Yin remained unmoved, seemingly showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever!
But as the video played at an accelerated pace, watching Zhang Yu and Su Yanyang's first half of the battle, Wang Yin's brows furrowed slightly!
He turned his head and forced a smile, "Mom, what's so interesting about this competition!"
The mother said coldly, "Keep watching, open your eyes wide and take a good look at Zhang Yu's appearance in it!"
At his mother's insistence, Wang Yin had no choice but to watch the second half of the battle!
After reading it, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What were Zhang Yu's final results?"
The mother said calmly, "Seventh in the Civil Engineering Department, awarded the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering by Ten Thousand Laws University!"
She explained the concept of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, and then said, "Zhang Yu has now been accepted as Registered Disciple by the Azure Wood True Lord of the Civil Engineering Department!"
"It seems that they will be given special attention and training in the future!"
Seeing the change in Wang Yin's expression, his mother continued, "Perhaps in a few years he will pass the Military Certificate and master the Tiankun martial arts."
"The Mountain Moving Divine Power!"
Seeing Wang Yin's rapid breathing, his mother sighed and said, "It seems you haven't truly mended the flaws in your heart!"
Wang Yin smiled and said, "Mom, I just need some time to adjust!"
"The stronger Zhang Yu is, the greater the effect on tempering my Dao Heart, and the better that is."
"The more he wins, the more I win!"
His mother shook her head and sent him the video. "You've disappointed me so much!"
"Take a look when you have time!"
"Only when you can see the surface of a still well without any emotional fluctuation can you say that you have truly healed the wounds in your heart!"
The day after the prize money for the Shimu competition was distributed.
With a sliver of anticipation, Zhang Yu arrived at the Simulated Construction Site that Director Gao had arranged!
Director Gao glanced at Zhang Yu, who was present, and said calmly, "Today I will teach you the Second Wonder of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering: the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force!"
"This skill is the foundation of power among the Seven Absolutes. It combines the physical body with internal Gang Qi to imitate the power of various geological disasters. Every move and every stance is extremely powerful. It can be used for construction and also for tempering Physical Strength!"
As Director Gao spoke, a colorless Gang Qi burst forth with his punch, transforming into a visible wave that violently shook the earth, unleashing a power akin to an earthquake!
Then he pressed down with his palm, and the rolling Gang Qi seemed to collapse mountains and break peaks, turning the entire land into layer upon layer of sand and dust, as if he had arrived in a desert!
"Landslides, earthquakes, mudslides, rock bursts, desertification—every move and every stance of the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force can alter the terrain!"
"And if it is combined with the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal, its power will be multiplied!"
As Director Gao explained, Zhang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force!
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Mountain Moving Gang Qi unleashed by this Cultivation Method is like a shockwave; it is not only incredibly powerful and destructive, but it can also cause the earth to tremble!"
"And if the pushing force is strong enough, it can cause effects similar to earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, and desertification!"
Zhang Yu then recalled the Small Three Harmonies duel between Shi Huaiwang, Ma Xuan, Su Yanyang, and others during the competition!
"The reason why they can change the terrain, manipulate mud and sand, and cause various kinds of damage like geological disasters when they use the Small Three Harmonies technique is due to the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal and the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force!"
After Director Gao finished explaining it once, he watched with anticipation as Zhang Yu practiced the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force!
"This kid mastered the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal in 1 hour and 15 minutes last time!"
Director Gao remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he wondered, "How long will it take to master the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force this time?"
"I've mastered it!"
After Zhang Yu practiced the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force once in a haphazard manner, various memories of practicing this Cultivation Method surfaced in his mind. He felt that every move was already in his mind, as if he had practiced it again and again. However, he naturally did not say that he had mastered this Martial Arts. Instead, he practiced it a second time in front of Director Gao!
Before coming to receive guidance from Director Gao, he had already consulted with Shi Huaiwang.
It took Shi Huaiyu almost three days to fully master the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force!
According to Shi Huaiyu, the fastest student High Cultivator the history of the Civil Engineering Department to master this Cultivation Method took about half an hour!
So, 48 minutes later, as Zhang Yu practiced again and again, his moves improved steadily, and he gradually went from a novice to a master!
After all, the memories of gradually cultivating the Great Desolation Mountain Moving Force in his mind were still fresh, so imitating it again at this moment was a natural progression!
Director Gao, watching this scene from the side, nodded repeatedly in approval!
In his eyes, Zhang Yu's progress in each rehearsal was almost visible to the naked eye, demonstrating amazing talent!
After 48 minutes, as Zhang Yu unleashed a punch that cracked a large area of the ground in front of him, Director Gao was once again amazed!
"You mastered it in just 48 minutes?"
"I remember those even faster, almost all of them were fabricated records for publicity purposes!"
"This kid's talent is truly..."
Zhang Yu looked at Director Gao and said, "Teacher, I've mastered it!"
Director Gao nodded and said, "The situation within the department is complicated right now. Someone might try to get you out of here any day. Don't tell anyone about your training progress anymore!"
After seeing Zhang Yu nod, Director Gao continued, "Next, I'll tell you about the arrangements for taking the Military Certificate exam in the future!"
