Opportunity for the Seven Absolutes, Anti-Intelligence Artifact Wave

669th floor.

In a corner of the construction site.

Shi Yunxiang called out to the white-haired Che Yufei, asking in confusion, "Old Che, how come you've aged so much again?"

"And lately at the construction site, I've felt like you've been avoiding me and Zhang Yu and the others?"

Che Yufei paused, turned to look at Shi Yunxiang, and smiled helplessly, "I'm just... a little ashamed to face you all."

As Che Yufei slowly recounted his story, Shi Yunxiang learned that Che Yufei had bought Nectar Coin.

Shi Yunxiang couldn't help but yell, "Didn't I tell you to throw it away? Didn't you agree to it?"

Che Yufei sighed, "But I've been watching the price of the coin keep rising... and rising..."

"I made a profit buying a spot on Competition Team, so I couldn't resist investing in it."

"I originally only planned to sell after three days of gains..."

Shi Yunxiang said, "You used leverage?"

Che Yufei nodded with a bitter expression. "It's been rising for so long, why is it my turn to fall?"

"Yunxiang, the Immortal Dao is truly difficult."

"I've been cultivating diligently for almost thirty years now. I've endured so much, avoided so many tribulations on the Immortal Path immortality, and resisted so many temptations, but just once... just that one time I couldn't resist, and all my previous efforts were in vain."

Hearing what Che Yufei said, Shi Yunxiang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He also recalled his journey, working tirelessly, scrimping and saving, and dedicating everything to the Immortal Dao.

Why is it that someone who succumbs to temptation just once has their Immortal Path shattered, with no chance to climb higher again?

Che Yufei patted Shi Yunxiang on the shoulder and said, "Yunxiang, don't follow my example."

"The Immortal Dao immortality is one where you either persevere to the very end, until your soul is annihilated, or you simply don't walk this path at all. Don't be like me, unable to resist temptation and giving up halfway."

The next moment, a divine Divine Light suddenly descended.

Watching the descending Divine Light, Che Yufei sighed, "The Orthodox God has come to take me away."

Watching Che Yufei disappear into the Divine Light, Shi Yunxiang remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.

Soon after, everyone in the Competition Group learned of Che Yufei's news and attended his memorial service in the Spirit Realm.

Shi Huaiyu looked at the price trend of the Nectar Coin and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, all the profits have been lost again."

"Thank goodness we didn't use leverage."

Shi Huaiyu planned to continue investing, but instead of looking at the Nectar Coin, he turned his attention to other currencies, especially the coins of the three Deity Transformation Divine Lord of Ten Thousand Laws University.

"We still need to trade some stable cryptocurrencies."

Suddenly, she glanced at the news about Che Yufei on her Eye Remains, paused slightly, and then shook her head helplessly. "I really shouldn't be playing with leverage."

"If I hadn't suffered huge losses before, I might have used leverage this time too, and ended up like Lao Che."

Su Yanyang watched as people in the Competition Group discussed Che Yufei, but he didn't interrupt. After all, he didn't know Che Yufei at all, and he wasn't moved in the slightest.

However, after glancing at the contents and recalling the Nectar Coin, Su Yanyang suddenly felt somewhat fortunate.

He had made some money by listening to Zhang Yu's advice and stopping early, but seeing the Nectar Coin rising continuously, he couldn't resist investing some more.

He was initially annoyed by his losses, but seeing Che Yufei's fate, he suddenly felt fortunate that his own situation was relatively good.

Upon seeing the news that Che Yufei gone bankrupt and become Soul Cultivator, Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "Sigh, it's a good thing I spent almost all my money buying a spot in the Seven Absolutes."

Ying Xin sighed inwardly, "Fortunately, my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather all stopped me from voting."

Meanwhile, some people, even though they didn't make any money through Nectar Coin, were still in a good mood.

"Luckily, I'm too poor to speculate on cryptocurrencies." Li Xiao laughed to himself, "Now I have far fewer competitors in the exams, and my class ranking has jumped two places."

In the days that followed, Zhang Yu studied and practiced every day, and occasionally trained with the Mo Shang Jin team members to prepare for the Inter-University League that would begin next month.

Before we knew it, it was already early December.

That day, Zhang Yu was using the 30 Spirit Coin he had been reimbursed to forge his fourth Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill by placing a refining order on himself.

Just then, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Pianpian.

Zhang Pianpian: Mo Shang Jin from your department, and another of his teammates, are both seriously injured in the wild.

Zhang Yu was shocked to hear this: Wasn't Mo Shang Jin supposed to be working on a Outdoor Construction Site? He possesses Military Grade Martial Arts, how could he be seriously injured?

Zhang Pianpian: A conflict broke out at the Colonel Level, with Golden Core True Person joining the battle, and Mo Shang Jin was caught in the crossfire.

Zhang Pianpian: There are other universities involved here. Mo Shang Jin may have been affected by some acts of retaliation.

Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened upon hearing this: Revenge?

Zhang Pianpian didn't answer Zhang Yu's question, but only said, "In short, you will definitely become a key member of the Civil Engineering Department Department's team."

Zhang Pianpian: Be careful.

Zhang Pianpian: But this is also an opportunity.

Several days later, Zhang Yu indeed heard more news about Mo Shang Jin's injury.

It is said that he and another teammate were seriously injured and it would take them two or three months to recover.

Suddenly, the Civil Engineering Department's original representative team was reduced to only Zhang Yu and one other official team member because two of them were seriously injured in the Nectar Coin Thunderburst.

In the Spirit Realm.

True Lord Qiyun looked at Director Gao, Director Lin, and the Old Director before him and said calmly, "Mo Shang Jin can't be healed in a short time. What should we do next?"

Seeing the three silent figures, True Lord Qiyun snorted coldly and said, "None of you are going to speak? Then I'll call on the generals."

"Besides Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunjin and Su Yanyang, who took the Military Certificate Exam this time, also join the team. You guys can try to get the rest."

"Don't talk to me about this faction or that faction this time."

"If we can't gather enough people, and we get eliminated by Thirty-Six Upper Schools's Civil Engineering team, you might lose face, but I won't be able to hold my head up in front of the three Divine Lords."

The Old Director smiled faintly and said, "As long as Old Gao agrees, that's fine. The only problem is that he might not want our students to take up extra points."

Director Gao snorted coldly and said, "Principal, Mo Shang Jin is seriously injured now. Zhang Yu has not yet mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power in the upcoming matches. I'm afraid he won't be able to carry the team alone."

"I think we should speed things up and get Zhang Yu to cultivate the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power as quickly as possible."

Director Lin raised an eyebrow and said, "The Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power is a major event. Each of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering must follow the proper procedures."

Director Gao waved his hand angrily at Director Lin: "Is this the time to concern ourselves with these things? For the honor of the school, for the honor of the Civil Engineering Department, shouldn't we be doing extraordinary things at this extraordinary time?"

Director Lin said, "Zhang Yu is only a junior in college, yet he has already mastered the Five Great Skills."

"I heard that you've already arranged the sixth secret technique for him, Director Gao?"

"Heh heh, if we also count the Seven Absolutes, that's four secret techniques taught in half a year. I'm afraid it will cause some controversy."

People might think that the Civil Engineering Department is surnamed Zhang.

Director Gao shouted, "Director Lin! I have a clear conscience for the Civil Engineering Department, but you're making excuses and trying to see our team eliminated. Do you really want to see our team eliminated? Is your heart still in the Civil Engineering Department? Or has it already flown to the Finance Department?"

Director Lin retorted angrily, "Gao Chongguang! Don't try to dodge the question! What does this have to do with the Finance Department? Your student caused trouble outside and was seriously injured; you bear full responsibility for this."

The Old Director listened to the argument between the two, standing motionless to the side, his mind seemingly drifting to the depths of the Spirit Realm to begin handling other tasks.

The next moment, accompanied by a Muting Talisman, the two people who had just been talking fell silent.

Director Gao and Director Lin both stopped and looked at True Lord Qiyun.

True Lord Qiyun, having withdrawn the Muting Talisman, said calmly, "To impart four supreme techniques in such a short time is not in accordance with the proper procedure."

"It just so happens that the Civil Engineering League has been restructured, with Monthly Exam December. It'll probably last for several months, right?"

"Lao Lin, make the arrangements. Have Zhang Yu participate in your Seven Civil Engineering Tests next January. Give him the Seven Absolutes."

"So, the four unique skills were passed down over two separate years, is that alright?"

Director Lin opened his mouth, looked at the intense lightning within the cloud of True Lord Qiyun, and finally nodded, saying, "I have no objections."

Director Gao breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Zhang Yu would soon master the sixth technique in December and the Seven Absolutes technique in January, and would soon be able to master the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power.

Mid-December.

A Flying Boat took off from Ten Thousand Laws University City, tearing through the sky in the blink of an eye and flying away into the distance.

On the Flying Boat, Zhang Yu was quietly practicing the sixth technique he had just mastered a few days ago, "Turning Soil into Gold," in the Training Room.

Anyway, he doesn't need to be very successful in his technique. Even if it goes wrong or changes shape time and time again, it will still increase the number of times Feather Scroll Wound can practice.

Soon after, the Flying Boat arrived at its destination— Jinhe University, one of the 36 Upper Schools, and also Ten Thousand Laws University's first opponent in this year's Civil Engineering Inter-University League.

Unlike Ten Thousand Laws University City, Jinhe University is more like a normal city, with densely packed high-rise buildings forming square blocks, ultimately creating a city on a plain.

However, looking at the large number of demolished school buildings below, Zhang Yu's face showed a hint of surprise. "What's going on here?"

Xiao Qingxuan said from the side, "The last Financial Storm reached Level 3 here at Jinhe University."

"I heard that many things and places have been demolished and sold off."

Zhang Yu asked in surprise, "Level 3 Financial Storm?"

Xiao Qingxuan nodded and said, "It's probably because Jinhe University has Dual Cultivation Department; the Financial Storm here is even more severe."

Looking down at the vast, demolished city below, he sighed, "A Level 3 Financial Storm is already considered good. If it had reached level 8, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would have risked perishing."

As the Flying Boat descended, Zhang Yu gradually saw more of the scenery inside Jinhe University.

Zhang Yu said, "There are many people who are missing limbs."

Just then, Mo Shang Jin's Spirit Realm Projection appeared beside Zhang Yu and said, "Having experienced Level 3 Financial Storm, it's normal for parts of your body to be dismantled and sold off."

Look over there!

Looking at the crowd gathered in the distance, seemingly burning something, Zhang Yu asked curiously, "What are they doing now?"

Mo Shang Jin said, "Smash the Yin Artifact."

Zhang Yu was stunned. "Smash what?"

Mo Shang Jin said, "The recent incident involving the Nectar Coin has sparked Anti-Intelligence Artifact Wave in many universities with the Dual Cultivation Department."

"Some students went to the Upper Realm to protest the burning and vandalism of smart Yin Artifact and Yang Artifact."

"Some people take advantage of the situation, falsely accusing others of using intelligent Yin Artifact or Yang Artifact, demanding that they remove them for verification, and then seizing them under the guise of doing so..."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Is nobody going to do anything about it?"

Mo Shang Jin shook his head. "Behind this Anti-Intelligence Artifact issue, there's probably a Soul Cultivator Company pushing it; the waters inside are very murky."

Zhang Yu then asked, "When we enter Jinhe University, won't they check our private parts?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shang Jin burst out laughing, "This lousy school... how dare they investigate us?"
