A moment later, 30 Spirit Coin were deposited into Yu Xinghan's account.

Then he gave 3 Spirit Coin to Zhang Yu, who was cooperating with him, and 1 Spirit Coin each to Gongshu Jin and Ying Xin.

"I made a profit."

Looking at the extra 25 Spirit Coin in his account, Yu Xinghan thought to himself that this trip was worthwhile; even though he was injured, he had still made a great profit.

The situation that Yu Xinghan encountered also caused True Lord Tianzhang's original plan to fall through.

"Yu Xinghan failed."

"So far, only Zhang Yu has successfully completed a normal Dual Cultivation."

What's the difference between the two?

"There are too many to distinguish."

"The best approach is to have Zhang Yu continue participating in the tests and collect more data."

True Lord Tianzhang thought to himself, "But to get him to continue cooperating with the testing... the price is too high."

For True Lord Tianzhang, 30 Spirit Coin were by no means a large sum; he could easily pull them out.

However, once testing begins and the number of tests gradually increases, it will inevitably become a considerable expense.

Although it wasn't True Lord Tianzhang's own money that was being spent, he still valued this project highly and didn't intend to squander the funds.

But if they wanted to suppress Zhang Yu and force him to participate in the experiment...

"After all, they are elites who obtained their Military Certificate in their junior year of the Civil Engineering Department. If we directly ask the Civil Engineering Department department for them, the price they would probably not be low."

"Only by myself..."

Feeling that he might not be able to suppress it on his own, True Lord Tianzhang thought of Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

True Lord Tianzhang: Magnetic Pole, I heard you have a good relationship with the Department of the Civil Engineering Department.

True Lord Tianzhang: Is there any way to lower the price and get Zhang Yu to participate in the experiment?

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: No rush

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: The situation is still unclear. Let's finish the next few batches of tests first.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: We'll summarize the data later, hold another meeting, and decide whether or not to use Zhang Yu.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Tianzhang nodded slightly, thinking to himself that he had been too hasty just now. Magnetic Extremes True Lord's words were wise and experienced. He should have collected more data and, incidentally, let Zhang Yu cool off a bit.

Meanwhile, Nectar Girl Forty-Eight watched Zhang Yu's departing figure and thought to herself, "The existence of the Non-Interference List can be triggered."

I wonder what his situation is like... Could it be similar to mine?

On the way out of the lab.

Yu Xinghan kept pressing Zhang Yu for his experience in the lab, finally saying with an envious look, "Wow, you're incredibly lucky. You increased your Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power by so much in one go!"

Zhang Yu said, "I'd rather not have had this kind of luck that brought me this promotion."

He sighed, "The most important thing in spiritual practice is to rely on oneself. Only the strength gained through hard work and perseverance is the best and most solid."

Zhang Yu then returned to the construction site and began a new job.

Although this experiment did not bring him any reward, it allowed him to openly display the power of the level 15 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power.

At that moment, a series of roars came from the construction site. Under the tearing of an invisible force, the entire mountain suddenly collapsed and crumbled, like a black dragon soaring into the sky, hovering in mid-air as if blotting out the sun.

Witnessing this catastrophic scene, Zhao Tianxing, Mo Tianyi, Hu Yuntao, and other employees were all deeply shocked.

Gazing at Zhang Yu, who seemed to stand atop a black dragon's head in the sky, causing the earth to tremble with a wave of his hand, Zhao Tianxing sighed inwardly, "Zhang Yu... seems to have become much stronger again."

Recalling the scene of Zhang Yu having dinner with him in high school, Zhao Tianxing felt even more sad at this moment. "Unknowingly, Zhang Yu has reached a level that we can hardly imagine."

Zhang Yu, who had pushed the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power to level 15, felt completely relaxed at this moment, as if his body had been moved from a small cage to a large one.

"Finally, I can have fewer constraints and unleash more of my potential."

Just then, Director Gao sent a message asking about his experiment.

Zhang Yu then repeated what he had said to True Lord Tianzhang.

Director Gao then asked Zhang Yu to meet him the next day to test his skills.

This wasn't because Director Gao didn't trust Zhang Yu; after all, there was the testimony of True Lord Tianzhang, and Magnetic Extremes True Lord was present. Director Gao believed that Zhang Yu's increase in power was due to this experiment.

His main concern was that this increase in skill might have some adverse side effects, which is why he wanted to test it out.

During the following period, Zhang Yu participated in experiments, after which his power surged. The news that his Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power had broken through to level 15 spread like wildfire throughout the Civil Engineering Department, making him the envy of everyone.

Zhang Yu didn't take it to heart, after all, this was a skill he had painstakingly cultivated himself.

He continued to study, practice, and work overtime every day, gradually building up his strength.

Meanwhile, in the Artifact Forging Laboratory that day...

Amidst the sudden surge of intense lightning, which was then tightly bound by the surrounding equipment, a thumb-sized metallic square seal appeared before Zhang Yu a moment later.

This was a newly crafted Law Treasure called the Town Thunder Seal, which could absorb and release lightning to form a lightning strike for protection.

Especially when facing ranged attacks like flying swords, it can instantly strike with lightning, deflecting the flying sword's direction and neutralizing its power.

If multiple Town Thunder Seal were available, they could be combined to form a small Formation, creating a dense network of lightning for defense.

Zhang Yu crafted this Town Thunder Seal to compensate for the defensive capabilities of his flying sword, preparing for the upcoming battle against Heaven Sword University.

"My basic data has reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"But in terms of strength, I am far from reaching the Foundation Establishment Limit."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "A student who only masters one Military-grade Cultivation Method should only be considered to be in the third tier among the top ten undergraduate students."

"I still need to master Military-grade Artifact and Military-grade Dharma Skeleton, and acquire more Military Grade power, to be considered among the top-tier university students."

However, Zhang Yu understood that for someone who had already mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, the Civil Engineering Department could hardly offer him any further room for advancement.

"To master Military-grade Artifact, Military-grade Dharma Skeleton, and even more Military-grade Cultivation Method, one must go to the Artifact Crafting Department."

At this moment, Zhang Yu's accumulation of knowledge in weapon crafting, besides being used to upgrade his Law Treasure to enhance his strength, was also a preparation for his future cultivation in the Artifact Crafting Department.

"There are still more than six months left before I have to Transfer Departments."

Hopefully everything will go smoothly.

Just then, Zhang Yu received a message from Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Let's go to the lab.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: True Lord Tianzhang has something to discuss with you.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: Try to cooperate with his work.

After Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan finished their tests, the project team arranged for many more groups of people to conduct tests, but none of them succeeded.

Because this series of experiments took a long time, and the project team's work on cracking the code was slow to yield results, some people began to complain and even suggested that someone else should take charge of the project.

It was at this time that news spread that Zhang Yu of the Civil Engineering Department had broken through to level 15 in the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, which was regarded as an achievement of the Yin Artifact Decryption Project.

Inside the laboratory, True Lord Tianzhang said to Zhang Yu, "The progress you made in your Cultivation Method during the experiment demonstrates that our school's advancements in Yin Artifact technology have reached a leading level among schools."

"After learning of this success, the Principal all had high hopes for this project."

"In particular, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord issued an instruction, hoping that we would continue our efforts and implement the technology as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart stirred. He was no longer a freshman and had some understanding of many things and people on campus.

He knew that this Myriad Transformations Divine Lord was one of the three Transformation Gods of Ten Thousand Laws University, in charge of the Ten Thousand Laws University's work in Immortal Dao Technique research, including the application for various large-scale research projects, the formation of project teams, and the transformation of technological achievements.

And Yan Qianji from the Artifact Crafting Department is a disciple of this Myriad Transformations Divine Lord.

"Even the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord is paying attention to this project?"

Zhang Yu inwardly cursed his situation. His success with the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power... had absolutely nothing to do with the Dual Cultivation Technology of the Ten Thousand Laws University. What if he was exposed later?

True Lord Tianzhang thought to himself, "This is troublesome. How can the Dual Cultivation Technology of the Nectar Divine Lord be completely cracked so easily? This artifact spirit isn't cooperating right now, and if I try to crack it by force, there will inevitably be data loss."

"Let's test it a few more times."

With this in mind, True Lord Tianzhang decided to arrange for Zhang Yu to conduct another test and collect data.

But just as they finished negotiating the price and were about to begin testing, they discovered that the Yin Artifact circled around Zhang Yu, but ultimately made no move.

"Um?"

Realizing this, True Lord Tianzhang was slightly taken aback. He unleashed another burst of magical power, but the Yin Artifact still did not target Zhang Yu.

"What's going on?" True Lord Tianzhang wondered. "It can't be activated?"

Zhang Yu, on the other side, also noticed something was wrong. Looking at the circling Yin Artifact, he wondered if it was malfunctioning. It seemed that Ten Thousand Laws University's technology in this area was still not very mature.

After repeated attempts, True Lord Tianzhang grew increasingly curious as he watched the Yin Artifact remain unactivated.

"The detection function didn't even activate? This is something that has never happened before."

"When facing Zhang Yu, this Yin Artifact either performs normal Dual Cultivation, enhancing the partner's cultivation level, or it doesn't activate at all. Why is there such a strange phenomenon?"

The next moment, with True Lord Tianzhang's repeated urging, the Yin Artifact seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and with a whoosh, it burrowed directly into Zhang Yu's palm.

The Nectar Girl Forty-Eight thought to herself, "This is so annoying! Don't they know this is a target prohibited by the Non-Interference List?"

"Forget it, let him try it himself. He'll understand once he's banned."

Zhang Yu held the rhombus-shaped crystal-like object in his hand, looking at True Lord Tianzhang with a puzzled expression. "What's going on here?"

True Lord Tianzhang stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and thought to himself, "Could it be that this Yin Artifact is intended for Zhang Yu to use manually, so that he can use it himself?"
