Beside the Civil Engineering Competition venue.

Unlike the audience seats in the Spirit Realm, the audience seats prepared specifically for the real world were almost empty.

After all, even if people really want to watch the battle, most of them will do so directly from the Spirit Realm, and very few people will actually be there in their physical bodies to watch the battle.

Meanwhile, in the stands, Bai Zhenzhen alone at the highest point, watching the competition unfold.

However, at this moment, Bai Zhenzhen activated the power of her Divine Spiritual Root, making her seem like a wisp of air, unable to attract anyone's attention.

This hidden ability, possessing Divine Spiritual Root, allows her to avoid people she doesn't want to see and things she doesn't want to encounter, making herself disappear from this world.

However, the Divine Spiritual Root could only conceal her alone and could not take Zhang Yu with her to disappear, which was why this move was not used to transfer the Divine Spiritual Root before.

After all, hiding oneself alone would only make things more suspicious and arouse doubt.

Especially if Zhang Yu fails to control the Divine Spiritual Root immediately after it is transferred, the Divine Spiritual Root may suddenly manifest.

While Zhang Yu also possessed Divine Spiritual Root, he wasn't adept at concealing his abilities. Furthermore, he considered that when exchanging Spirit Root, the intense stimulation from the Divine Spiritual Root would inevitably cause him to lose control. Therefore, he didn't intend to recklessly exchange Spirit Root relying on his concealment abilities, as that would be too risky.

If someone was spying on them at that time, it would lead to the worst possible situation.

On the field, thunder rumbled continuously.

Then, streaks of fire, like shooting stars, shot towards Zhang Yu like raindrops, shattering the atmosphere and creating thunderous roars.

At the same time, news of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord appeared in Bai Zhenzhen's Eye Remains.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Watching Zhang Yu's competition?

Bai Zhenzhen: Hmm

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: The gap between you two is widening.

On the field, Zhang Yu suddenly unleashed the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power. The violent Earthly Fiend Gravity was like a black hole, deflecting the incoming meteors and sending them crashing to the ground.

Bai Zhenzhen: Zhang Yu has mastered Military-grade Cultivation Method; he's closing in on me step by step.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: But he's from the Civil Engineering Department, and he's mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, which means he's already deeply rooted in the Civil Engineering Department and can't leave the construction site.

Bai Zhenzhen: Civil Engineering Department can also produce dragons.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Perhaps.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: But was Zhang Yu back then still the Zhang Yu you knew?

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Did you know he participated in the Yin Artifact Experiment and gained an upgrade in his Cultivation Method?

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: I am not an old-fashioned person who opposes Dual Cultivation.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Dual Cultivation broadens the boundaries of one's Immortal Dao and strengthens Immortal Dao foundation, which is a good thing for most cultivators.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: But once a person begins to taste the sweetness of Dual Cultivation, starts to manipulate their own desires and emotions, and grows stronger in the process, they will no longer cherish these things.

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord: He's now a guinea pig for the Yin Artifact Experiment, reaping huge benefits from it. He'll gradually become a different person. Emotions and Dual Cultivation are merely bargaining chips and resources for his cultivation; they're no longer suitable for you, who are practicing the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao.

Bai Zhenzhen: I believe Zhang Yu

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord: The poor cannot withstand trials.

Bai Zhenzhen remained silent, but her mind kept replaying the scene of Zhang Yu talking with Wen Wuya when she saw Zhang Yu earlier that day.

If it were the Zhang Yu of the past, he would have decisively rejected Wen Wuya without the slightest hesitation, right?

Is it because they participated in the Yin Artifact Experiment and benefited from them that they've changed now?

And while they were together today, Zhang Yu seemed eager to transfer her Divine Spiritual Root.

Finally, having himself come to watch the competition seems to be part of a scheme to shift his Spirit Root...

Bai Zhenzhen's expression suddenly shifted as she thought to herself, "Has Zhang Yu really changed? Is he no longer the same person he was in high school?"

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Whether Zhang Yu ends up building bridges or roads is none of my concern. I just don't want your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao to suffer a backlash and waste your precious time.

Bai Zhenzhen didn't speak, but her gaze shifted, continuing to look towards the arena.

Then, streaks of meteors shot into the sky, covering most of the arena.

Gazing at the overwhelming scene that swept across the sky like a meteor shower, Zhang Yu took a deep breath. His palms changed shape, and patches of Earthly Fiend Gravity condensed into clusters, like black holes rising into the sky, devouring the falling meteors.

The Ten Star Phases --- Star Dust Bind

On the other side, large sections of the mountain range floated into the air, forming an Aerial Fortress that protected the construction site of Heaven Sword University layer upon layer.

Yue Guanqung stood proudly atop the mountain. With a light tap of his finger, the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi poured into a large area of rocks, like a meteor falling to earth, traversing the sky and covering the location of Ten Thousand Laws University.

"As my offensive intensifies."

"How long can you hold out?"

Yue Guanqung chuckled softly, and behind him, a series of silently floating flying swords were ready to be unleashed.

In the audience seats of the Spirit Realm.

Wan Gouxuan from Immortal Soldier University was intently watching the competition below.

He thought to himself, "The Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi of Heaven Sword University can attach itself to all things, turning grass, trees, bamboo, stones, soil, and gravel into flying swords that shoot out. Not only can it carry out ultra-long-range construction, but the sharp Sword Qi it contains can also destroy mountains and shatter rocks."

"High construction efficiency, adaptable to most construction environments, no requirements for tools, low construction cost... it is a top-notch large-scale Civil Engineering construction Cultivation Method."

Thinking of this, Wan Gouxuan sighed, "At Ten Thousand Laws University, Zhang Yu has been completely suppressed."

"Zhang Yu already has to expend more energy to defend against Yue Guanqung's flying sword attacks, not to mention that Yue Guanqung's strength is greater than Zhang Yu's."

"If he hadn't used some kind of 'Yin Artifact Experiment to advance his Cultivation Method to level 16, the situation would probably be even worse."

At this point, a hint of envy flashed through Wan Gouxuan's mind. How long did it take him to cultivate Military-grade Cultivation Method from Level 10 to level 16? Zhang Yu had actually made such a leap in such a short time. How could he not be envious?

But what comforted Wan Gouxuan was that this leap ultimately could not allow Zhang Yu to catch up with Yue Guanqung.

Wan Gouxuan commented. "If Zhang Yu wants to win now, he must break through to the next level. Staying in place and becoming a target... it's only a matter of time before he loses the match."

Beside Wan Gouxuan, Xiang Shan from Heavenly Demon University curled his trunk and said calmly, "Didn't you notice that Zhang Yu blocked all of Yue Guanqung's attacks?"

"All the attacks?" Wan Gouxuan was slightly taken aback and said, "He blocked all the flying swords that Yue Guanqung shot out?"

Xiang Shan said, "It was to cover for his teammates, because he had no other choice."

"If the construction site of Heaven Sword University were on the ground, Zhang Yu could travel there by escaping underground. With the power of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, he could easily cause the mountains and earth to collapse at Heaven Sword University."

"But the construction site of Heaven Sword University is located in the sky, which not only greatly reduces the threat posed by the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, but also allows Yue Guanqung to attack the construction site of Ten Thousand Laws University at any time."

"Because the attack range of the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi far exceeds that of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, this allows Yue Guanqung to pose a threat to everyone at Ten Thousand Laws University from a distance, even outside of Zhang Yu's attack range."

Xiang Shan analyzed. "With his Cultivation Method countered, his power suppressed, and his tactics thoroughly countered, Zhang Yu's only option is to cover his teammates, allowing them to complete the Formation quickly and find a possibility to turn the tide with the Formation's support."

"So now, let's see how long he can withstand Yue Guanqung's onslaught."

Watching Zhang Yu accurately capture each shooting star streaking across the sky and fall to the earth, Xiang Shan exclaimed in admiration, "Zhang Yu's Martial Dao talent is truly astonishing."

"Whether it's control, speed of activation, or range of activation... he unleashed the full power of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, perfectly capturing every move of Yue Guanqung."

"But Yue Guanqung is far from using his full strength right now."

At this point, Wan Gou, who was standing to the side, asked with some doubt, "Why does Yue Guanqung use these ordinary materials to attack? If he were to use flying swords directly..."

Xiang Shan said, "It's because of Mo Shang Jin."

The Elephant Demon from Heavenly Demon University slowly explained, "He was worried that defeating Zhang Yu too early would encourage Mo Shang Jin to buy back and reappear, so he was stalling for time, gradually increasing the stakes, giving his teammates more time to set up Formation and build defensive fortifications."

Moments later, streaks of Sword Qi rose from the Aerial Fortress of Heaven Sword University.

Xiang Shan's eyes flickered. "Yue Guanqung's offensive is about to escalate."

Like Law Treasure, flying swords can also be divided into Teaching Grade, Professional Grade, Enterprise Grade, and even higher grades such as Military Grade and Immortal Sect Grade.

At this moment, a series of Teaching Grade flying swords were poised to be unleashed in front of Yue Guanqung.

If Zhang Yu were closer, he would have discovered that these flying swords were the temporary flying swords that Su Yanyang and the others had rented.

It's not that Yue Guanqung doesn't want to use a better flying sword, but rather that Teaching Grade flying swords are more cost-effective and reassuring to use.

Yue Guanqung glanced in Zhang Yu's direction and said calmly, "The skirmish is over."

As the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi was activated, one after another temporary flying swords shot into the sky with a whoosh, bringing with them heavy air waves and thunderous sounds, sweeping towards Zhang Yu at several times the speed of sound.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's gaze sharpened. "It's here? The real flying sword attack."

Almost a moment ago, the sword shadow was still hovering above the Aerial Fortress, and the next moment it was already within a hundred meters of Zhang Yu.

Amidst the booming flashes of lightning, the Town Thunder Seal was activated repeatedly, unleashing streaks of lightning that constantly deflected the flying swords' assassinations.

At the same time, the Earth Suppressing Seal was also activated, forming an aura around Zhang Yu, further hindering the piercing of the flying sword.

But amidst the flashes of lightning, the deflected flying sword traced a graceful trajectory, then adjusted its direction like swimming fish, continuing its attack on Zhang Yu.

The flying sword unleashed bursts of sharp Sword Qi, tearing apart the aura of the Earth Suppressing Seal and continuing its slash towards Zhang Yu's location.

Although the protective Law Treasure failed to completely block the flying sword's attack, it gave Zhang Yu more room to react, allowing him to successfully activate the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power and grab the flying sword in front of him.

Amidst the crackling and exploding sounds, a flying sword, suppressed by the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, shattered into countless fragments.

But before the Soul Cultivator working for Zhang Yu could rejoice, each fragment emitted a sharp aura, transforming from a single flying sword into dozens or even hundreds of flying swords, continuing to slay towards Zhang Yu.

Seeing this, Mo Shang Jin said in the Competition Group: Look, this is how it was damaged last year.
