Quiet Room.

With a flick of his finger, Zhang Yu caused the ball of metal powder in front of him to Magical Power Oscillation, sometimes forming a sphere, and sometimes dispersing into a cloud of mist.

Turning Soil into Gold, the sixth of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, is a Martial Arts that uses magical power to refine metals.

However, for Zhang Yu, practicing this Cultivation Method was not as troublesome as for others. As long as he manipulated the metal powder in front of him to complete various changes, he could continuously increase the number of times he could practice.

Several hours later, Zhang Yu, who had finally pushed the Turning Soil into Gold" skill to Level 10, breathed a sigh of relief!

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Xiao Yunjin's voice came from outside!

Xiao Yunjin: "Zhang Yu, is it over? We need to get ready to leave!"

Zhang Yu opened the door and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Walking beside Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunjin suddenly asked, "Zhang Yu... why do you use your Dharma Skeleton body instead of your magical body to power your Cultivation Method...?"

"If it's inconvenient for you to answer, you don't have to!"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and casually said, "I hope to maintain my physical cultivation and use a customized Dharma Skeleton in the future. Then I can strengthen my body, which has been Dharma Skeleton and Law Treasure. I can also control it at will. Wouldn't that be even stronger?"

Xiao Yunjin said, "But this road... is very expensive!"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Take it slow, refine as much as you earn!"

Xiao Yunjin looked at Zhang Yu with a complicated expression. Suddenly, her brows furrowed slightly as she felt a sharp pain in her nerves. The medicine inside her Dharma Skeleton was immediately injected automatically!

Zhang Yu noticed the change in Xiao Yunjin's expression and said, "Is the Dharma Skeleton Synchronization Rate still not improving? Why not consider switching to some lighter Dharma Skeleton?"

Xiao Yunjin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; this was the first time someone had suggested she switch to a weaker Dharma Skeleton!

Xiao Yun Yunji said, "That would lower our strength, and our scores, rankings, income... would all decrease as a result!"

"Too!"

Zhang Yu said, "But if this continues, you won't be able to keep going, will you?"

Xiao Yunjin gritted her teeth. Originally, she planned to get Military Certificate so she could replace her Shapeshifting Dharma Skeleton and focus on cultivating the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering after receiving more investment!

But since she hasn't obtained her Military Certificate, she needs this Shapeshifting Dharma Skeleton even more to enhance her strength!

Especially with this Inter-University League, she needs to seize the opportunity to prove herself to her teachers and school with an outstanding performance!

When Zhang Yu arrived at the entrance, he found that Su Yanyang was nowhere to be seen. After everyone urged him repeatedly, they saw divine Divine Light descending and several Orthodox God actually descending upon the club!

"Why has the Orthodox God come?"

Zhang Yu wondered, "They couldn't possibly be here to raid this club, could they?"

A moment later, a Orthodox God appeared before them and asked, "Is Su Yanyang your classmate?"

Mo Shang Jin's projection spoke up, "He came to participate in the competition with us. Is there a problem?"

The Orthodox God said, "It's nothing serious, it's just that his Dual Cultivation partner suddenly experienced a malfunction in her Yin Artifact!"

"I'm just here to confirm some information with you!"

The Orthodox God was quite polite to the students from Ten Thousand Laws University, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, once the higher-ups have checked and found nothing wrong, they'll bring him down. It won't take you long!"

Inside the room, Su Yanyang stood to the side with a gloomy expression, his mind still replaying the scene from just now!

"Damn it... how did this Yin Artifact explode halfway through?"

"And it seems like the Soul Cultivator inside this Yin Artifact did it on purpose, but..."

Su Yanyang frowned slightly. From the exploded Yin Artifact, he sensed that the Soul Cultivator inside had not retreated to the Spirit Realm, but had instead been annihilated!

"The Soul Cultivator died directly. This is no longer a simple malfunction of the Yin Artifact, right? It can be considered a case of the Soul Cultivator committing suicide!"

Su Yanyang had seen many Soul Cultivator and many dead people in his life, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone truly annihilated!

Meanwhile, the two Orthodox God were scanning the exploding Yin Artifact and communicating at high speed through the Spirit Realm!

The male deity among them said with a Orthodox God expression, "The Yin Artifact was detonated after being forcibly Overload!"

The female Orthodox God nearby said, "So... this Soul Cultivator did it himself? He detonated the Yin Artifact he was working with? Why would he do that? Did he really not want to live anymore?"

The male Orthodox God said solemnly, "Normally, such acts of self-sacrifice should not occur!"

"Check his chat history to see if he's been bewitched by something!"

A large amount of text and image information appeared in front of the male Orthodox God!

So tired... so tired, so tired, I don't want to live anymore.

The debt is simply too high to pay off.

Why won't you let me die?

Why won't you let me die?

Why won't you let me die?

Seeing the frenzied content, the male Orthodox God frowned even more deeply. "As expected, there's something wrong with his mind; he's clearly been bewitched!"

"Moreover, most of the chat logs have been deleted; there's not a single piece of information about today's operation!"

"Hmph, this was probably premeditated!"

"Not only did he arrange his own suicide, but he also wanted to... incidentally injure the students of Ten Thousand Laws University?"

Upon hearing the male Orthodox God's words, the female Orthodox God, who was also checking the records, had a sudden realization and said, "Senior, you seem to be very familiar with this matter?"

The male Orthodox God nodded. "Making someone commit suicide and then having their soul disperse, leaving no trace of value... it's probably the Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult again!"

The goddess asked Orthodox God, "The Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult?"

The male Orthodox God said, "A bunch of Demon Cult go Fourth Office bewitching people, causing them to lose their souls and be driven mad!"

"Sigh, when the Nectar Coin was rising in value, the number of followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect increased. Now that the Nectar Coin has fallen in value and the number of followers of the Dual Cultivation Sect has decreased, the number of followers of the Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult is on the rise again!"

The male Orthodox God sighed, "Alas, with frequent conflicts on campus, these evil Demon Cult are becoming increasingly restless!"

The Orthodox God, however, was more concerned about the Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult Sect, Outer Dao, "Demon Cult that makes people commit suicide and their souls scatter? Anyone who believes that would actually believe that? Only a fool would."

The male Orthodox God nodded. "There are always people who can't endure hardship, who are unwilling to work, unwilling to take responsibility, unwilling to repay debts, and unwilling to contribute to the construction of Kunxu. In the end, this Demon Cult sect takes advantage of their vulnerability and corrupts their minds with Demonic Path methods!"

"This Demon Cult has caused Kunxu countless problems every year, and lost countless valuable talents. It's even more insane and sinful than the Dual Cultivation Sect and the Unemployed Cult..."

The Orthodox God looked at Su Yanyang beside her and asked, "What about him? Could he also have problems?"

The male Orthodox God said, "I've checked this guy's information. He's single-mindedly ambitious, works 24/7, and has never hesitated even a step on the path of Immortal Dao. He doesn't seem like one of those Demon Cult sects!"

At this point, the male Orthodox God added, "But I'm afraid he'll be influenced!"

"The things done by the Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult are always seductive and easily imitated!"

"Moreover... who knows, these members of the Demon Cult Sect might contact this Su Yanyang again in the future!"

"But more importantly, we need to investigate the owner of this Yin Artifact. He might have been brainwashed by the Feathered Ascension Demonic Cult. Let's investigate that side first!"

After the two talked for a while, the male Orthodox God looked at Su Yanyang, who looked gloomy, and asked, "Young man, are you alright?"

Su Yanyang nodded. "You two, I still have to participate in the competition, I don't know when I can leave?"

The male Orthodox God smiled slightly and said, "The details have been investigated. Once we've finished up the mess, you can leave. Don't worry, it won't be long!"

Su Yanyang said, "Have you found out? It was this Yin Artifact that exploded on its own, right? How will the owner of the Yin Artifact compensate me?"

The male Orthodox God said, "You and the other party should negotiate the compensation yourselves. If you can't reach an agreement, then go to court. This is not our responsibility!"

"I want to talk to you about maintaining confidentiality!"

"You're also a top student at Ten Thousand Laws University, you should know that this kind of self-destruction shouldn't be made public. The only thing to say is that your Yin Artifact malfunctioned and exploded!"

Su Yanyang nodded. He knew that such behavior was always severely criticized and punished in Kun City!

The male Orthodox God continued, "To prevent others from imitating us, this case needs to be kept confidential, so we'd appreciate it if you could sign a confidentiality agreement with us!"

Su Yanyang was slightly taken aback. The image of the Soul Cultivator inside that Yin Artifact ultimately being annihilated flashed through his mind. He thought to himself, "Is it because of this?"

Su Yanyang nodded and said, "No problem!"

The male Orthodox God continued, "Also, since it was a malfunction of the Dharma Skeleton, and you were in close contact with it, if you experience any problems yourself, remember to contact us immediately!"

More than ten minutes later!

Zhang Yu, Xiao Qingxuan, and the others waiting at the entrance of the club were getting impatient!

Li Zhen said, "Why are we still not here? If we wait any longer, we'll be late for the competition!"

Xiao Yunjin said, "Why don't we leave first? Five people are enough to beat the people from Jinhe University!"

Just as they were discussing, there was a loud bang, and Su Yanyang jumped out of the window and landed steadily in front of them!

Zhang Yu looked at Su Yanyang, who had finally come downstairs, and said, "Finally here? Why did it take so long?"

Su Yanyang said helplessly, "When the other Dharma Skeleton malfunctioned, their Yin Artifact exploded, and then they started talking to me about compensation!"

Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "The Yin Artifact exploded?"

Zhang Yu had only asked casually, but now he felt that such a big matter required a thorough investigation!

"Come, come, come!" Zhang Yu said with great interest, "Tell me what exactly happened!"

Su Yanyang: "It's almost time for the competition!"

Zhang Yu, with an eager look on his face, said, "Let's talk as we walk!"

So, on the way to the arena, Su Yanyang told the story he and the Orthodox God had agreed upon!

After explaining his situation, Su Yanyang concluded, "... In short, it's just a malfunction of the Dharma Skeleton, nothing special!"

Mo Shang Jin asked, "Are you injured?"

Su Yanyang said, "No, I was extremely cautious from beginning to end, just thinking that I would not reveal anything to the other party and would not let them earn a single Spirit Coin from me!"

"So when the explosion happened, I evacuated immediately!"

"However, the issue of compensation is still open to discussion!"

As they were talking, Zhang Yu, Su Yanyang, and the others had already arrived at the competition venue!
