Hearing Shi Huaiyu's question, Mo Shang Jin explained, "Zhang Yu is our team's Secret Weapon. Before we face the other top ten, let's try to hide his strength."

"What's more, the next match will be between the Vajra University team and you at Ten Thousand Methods."

"I'm afraid the people from Vajra University were watching your match just now."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu asked curiously, "How strong is the Civil Engineering Department at Vajra University?"

"Vajra University ..." Mo Shang Jin thought for a moment and explained, "Their Artifact Crafting Department is very skilled at processing students' bodies into various Law Treasure. The trade of physical bodies on campus is also very active, and their Body Tempering methods are highly compatible with the Dharma Skeleton they produce!"

"For them, the physical body is very important because diligently cultivating the physical body can earn money!"

"For them, the physical body isn't important, because the entire school uses the same Body Tempering standards and the same Dharma Skeleton standards, making it very easy to switch between physical bodies and Dharma Skeleton..."

Zhang Yu then asked, "What about Military-grade Martial Arts? How many of them master them?"

Mo Shang Jin said, "The Military-grade Martial Arts of the Civil Engineering Department at Vajra University is called <The Great Sun Manifestations>. I remember that someone mastered it last year!"

"However, that person should have graduated this year!"

"There probably aren't any students in the teams you've encountered this time who have completed their training!"

Su Yanyang was standing nearby, asked again, "Mo Xuechang, how long will it take for your injuries to heal?"

"We can handle ordinary Colonel Level Lower School ourselves!"

"But if the opponent is also in the top ten, and some of them have Military Grade forces, then I'm afraid we can't do without you!"

Mo Shang Jin said helplessly, "My physical body has been corrupted by Sha Qi, and it is currently undergoing cleansing!"

"This can't be rushed; it will take at least two more months to get it done!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred. He realized that it was no wonder that Mo Shang Jin and another student were seriously injured, while Li Zhen was still able to participate in the competition!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Because Li Zhen's specialty is controlling baleful Sha Qi!"

He looked at Li Zhen and asked, "Li Xuechang, doesn't the Sha Qi Martial Arts you practice have any effects on your body?"

Li Zhen said, "How could it not have an impact? The aging process alone will be accelerated, not to mention all sorts of occupational diseases—you won't escape any of them!"

Su Yanyang asked in confusion, "Then why do you specialize in attacking Sha Qi?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single thing, not a single wonder, not a single novel to read!

Li Zhen explained, "Although lifespan is reduced and total working hours are also reduced, the unit income is higher. It's like spending your lifespan earlier, or doubling the lifespan you would have in old age while you're young. What's wrong with that?"

"Besides, which construction job doesn't take a toll on your body? You can't do that for the rest of your life. Although researching Sha Qi is harmful to your health, if you do well in it later, you can switch to environmental protection!"

"The thirty- Celestial Astral Qi and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Qi are all related to environmental issues!"

"The environment is a major issue. The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the impact on the environment. With the advancement of immortal Immortal Dao Technique, Kunxu will definitely pay more and more attention to environmental governance in the future!"

After finishing the competition at Jinhe University, Zhang Yu quickly returned to Ten Thousand Laws University, where he continued his studies, practice, and part-time work in the days that followed!

Finally, in late December, Zhang Yu successfully pushed the "Turning Soil into Gold" skill to Level 20.

With all six of the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering being pushed to Level 20, the First Layer of the Inverted Kunlun in the Chain Law Diagram was finally completed!

Beginner Level 1: Inverted Kunlun (6/6): Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering has a significantly increased effect on environmental destruction and alteration!

Seeing this effect, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. "The environment has changed?"

The next day, after arriving at the construction site on the 669th floor, he conducted some tests and roughly tested the effect of the First Layer of the Inverted Kunlun! Whether it was the most basic mud and sand, the half-built steel and cement, or the already completed buildings, they all belonged to the environment.

Once combined with the effect of "Inverted Kunlun," Zhang Yu's influence and range will increase dramatically, whether he uses the Small Three Harmonies or a single Cultivation Method like "Turning Soil into Gold"!

He gently spread his five fingers, and wisps of metallic powder were drawn out of the mud and sand, turning into a small cloud of metallic mist that moved back and forth in his palm with his thoughts!

"If the Small Three Harmonies are effective, then the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power!"

"In other words, if I were to unleash the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, it could cause even stronger and more dramatic changes in the surrounding area!"

"In that case, I'll have unparalleled construction skills. Who in the Civil Engineering Department can build faster than me?"

Zhang Yu felt a surge of excitement. "I'm about to reach the pinnacle of the construction site and earn an hourly wage that countless workers wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

Zhang Yu secretly estimated that when that time came, the money he would make on the construction site would probably be much more than what he was making now from refining weapons!

"In that case, I estimate that for quite some time, I'll be able to use the money I earn from construction sites to fund weapon forging!"

"Sigh, it's a pity we have to wait until January!"

Although he was eager to get started, Zhang Yu knew that these things couldn't be rushed, so he suppressed his excitement and continued to work diligently.

"Keep Zhang Yu calm. It's precisely at times like these that we mustn't rush things!"

Zhang Yu silently told himself, "If I follow the steps, continue learning, continue working, and continue cultivating, even if I learn the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, it will only be the beginning!"

"My goal is to Ten Great Sects, but that's still a long way off!"

Before we knew it, it was time for the second match of the Civil Engineering Inter-University League! This time, the competition was being held at Ten Thousand Laws University!

Vajra University sent a total of 6 official players and 3 substitute players!

At the entrance to the arena, Chan Rong, the leader of the Vajra University team, looked at Zhang Yu six teammates with a smile in his eyes!

Chan Rong said, "Isn't Mo Shang Jin going to make an appearance? It seems his injuries are quite troublesome!"

Zhang Yu asked calmly, "Do you know Mo Xuechang?"

Chan Rong murmured, "I know him, of course I know him!"

"Do you still remember last year's battle with Ten Thousand Methods? Mo Shang Jin used the Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton to unleash the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, turning the entire examination hall upside down!"

"That was a devastating blow! I still remember my senior brother in the team desperately resisting with <The Great Sun Manifestations>, but he was still defeated by Mo Shang Jin and thrown out of the arena!"

Zhang Yu glanced at Mo Shang Jin's projection beside him and privately messaged him. "You were too ruthless in last year's competition, weren't you? I feel like Vajra University is holding back some fierce determination to give us a good beating!"

Looking at the soaring fighting spirit emanating from the members of Vajra University, Mo Shang Jin said, "Sigh, I don't even know if I'll be able to play this year!"

"Moreover, the department was bidding around that time last year, so Teacher Gao asked me to make a high-profile move to generate buzz for the bidding!"

"Otherwise, do you think I want to use the Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton to unleash the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power? That would be extremely costly, you know."

Just then, Chan Rong looked at Zhang Yu, who was having a private chat with Mo Shang Jin, and seeing Zhang Yu's shifting gaze, Chan Rong said, "Is Mo Shang Jin projecting here through the Spirit Realm?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, and just as he was wondering what to say, Chan Rong continued, "Mo Shang Jin, last year because of your attack, our entire team's Dharma Skeleton and Law Treasure were destroyed."

They're almost all destroyed!

Hearing these words, Zhang Yu felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself, "This is a really big grudge I've made!"

Chan Rong continued, "Today, you'll see how I deal with your teammates!"

Mo Shang Jin frowned as he looked at Chan Rong and said, "Be careful."

"Wow, this guy came prepared!"

3,2,1.

As the match officially began, Chan Rong soared into the sky, flames erupting from his body, making him appear like a Sun high above the arena!

Chan Rong said, word by word, "Mo Shang Jin, when you defeated me last year, I had already passed the Military Certificate!"

"It's a pity that my cultivation was insufficient; I hadn't yet mastered the Great Sun Manifestations at that time!"

If last year had been like this year, with a longer competition period, giving me more time to hone my skills, we would never have lost to you!

"Today, I'll deal with your teammates first, and we'll fight again next year!"

Having said that, Chan Rong his hands together, and his body surged with a burst of Gang Qi, illuminating the entire area with boundless, blazing fire!

At the same time, almost simultaneously with Chan Rong's actions, speech, and energy cultivation, the information about the <Great Sun Manifestations> that Mo Shang Jin had once recounted had surfaced in the minds of Zhang Yu's team!

Mo Shang Jin: "<The Great Sun Manifestations> is a martial art that condenses the Great Sun Martial Dao Intent and combines it with the Great Sun Astral Qi!"

"Once this Military Grade Martial Arts is mastered during the Foundation Establishment stage, it's like transforming into a blazing sun, causing the temperature within a thousand meters to gradually rise. In just over ten minutes, it can incinerate everything within that thousand meters!"

"In addition to a gradual increase in temperature over a wide area, the Great Sun Manifestations can also rapidly cause a surge in localized temperature within a hundred meters!"

"Just a glance, a gesture, and you can ignite a person's passion!"

"The smaller the volume of the heated space, the faster the temperature rises..."

Whether it was Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunjin, Su Yanyang, or anyone else, their thinking and reaction speeds were extremely fast. They had already recalled the information about the <Great Sun Manifestations> almost before Chan Rong finished speaking!

However, they then faced hesitation and conflict regarding their next choice!

The enemy has actually acquired Military Grade power. Should we surrender immediately? If we do surrender, should we be the first to surrender without any discussion?

Such a thought flashed through Su Yanyang's mind!

In the next instant, with his lightning-fast reaction and thought speed, he opened the Competition Group in his Eye Remains!

In the Competition Group!

Su Yanyang: What should we do?

Xiao Yunjin: If we fight to the death, we might lose all our Dharma Skeleton, plus exorbitant medical bills!

Li Zhen: You can't fight like that, people will die!

Xiao Yunjin: Then what do you suggest we do?

Watching the Competition Group chat constantly refreshing with messages, Su Yanyang cursed inwardly, "At this point, why isn't anyone standing up to surrender? Isn't there a single person with any sense of responsibility?"
