Feeling the surge of Zhang Yu's aura, and seeing the Da Shan that blotted out the sky and was being smashed down by Zhang Yu, Yue Guanqung was shocked.

"A breakthrough in the heat of battle? Twice in a row?"

"Or did the Ten Thousand Methods conceal information, and the breakthrough brought about by the Yin Artifact Experiment allowed Zhang Yu to reach level 18 Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, instead of level 16?"

"Or perhaps it's the aftereffects of the Yin Artifact Experiment... Back when Zhang Yu was conducting the experiment, he had already accumulated the necessary resources and materials for improving his Cultivation Method. Today's fierce competition helped him accelerate the digestion process, leading to a new breakthrough..."

A series of thoughts flashed through my mind like lightning, but I suppressed them all with Yue Guanqung.

Because he knew that no matter what the reason was for Zhang Yu's breakthrough, he didn't have time to think about it.

The most urgent task at hand is to stop the massive mountain that is pressing down with the force of an apocalypse.

With a roar, Yue Guanqung unleashed the full power of his Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi, and countless swords shot into the sky from the Sword Formation, like torrents of metal, crashing towards the giant mountain with a roar.

"Clear the mountain for me!"

Amidst the deafening roar of explosions, the giant mountain was continuously pulverized under the bombardment of the metal torrent, with large amounts of rock suddenly collapsing and turning into a sky full of rubble and dust.

But just as the giant mountain was being continuously cut and dismantled, Zhang Yu reached out and grabbed at the earth from a distance, sending a large amount of sand and gravel soaring into the sky and merging into the giant mountain.

"Move the mountain!"

"Smash them all down!"

Behind him, Su Yanyang, Shi Huaiyu, and others simultaneously channeled their energy to activate the Formation.

Su Yanyang: "Zhang Yu! We're here to lend you a hand!"

Shi Huaiyu: "Don't give them a chance to retaliate!"

With a deafening roar, a torrent of mud and rocks was suddenly unleashed, carrying with it streams of earth that joined Zhang Yu's giant mountain.

At the same time, Yue Guanqung shouted in a low voice, "Hold on with me!"

"If he wants to move mountains, then we'll break ground and start a fire!"

"Sword, come!"

With the efforts of the other members of Heaven Sword University, a large amount of sand and gravel was transformed into swords and sent to Yue Guanqung, so that he could ride his sword and smash the giant mountain that was falling from the sky and getting closer and closer to the Aerial Fortress.

Amidst deafening roars, mountains, rock formations, metal, and mud collided violently, driven by the wills of both sides, producing a series of earth-shattering explosions.

The billowing dust nearly engulfed the entire stadium.

Xiang Shan from Heavenly Demon University, watching this scene, exclaimed, "Ten Thousand Methods is digging and moving mountains, while Heavenly Sword is breaking through them."

"This is a contest of the purest and most basic construction capabilities."

Wan Gouxuan from Immortal Soldier University nodded in agreement. "By using extreme focus and pushing the limits of strength to drive this construction instinct honed countless times, the winner will inevitably be the one with the highest construction efficiency."

The next moment, as the giant mountain gradually sank, the mountain and the Aerial Fortress collided violently.

Amidst the deafening roar, the Aerial Fortress of Heaven Sword University gradually tilted, like a sunken ship sinking into the water, slowly descending downwards.

Xiang Shan sighed, "Yue Guanqung is still leading his men in a desperate resistance, but just like in the previous battle, the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi is able to suppress Zhang Yu by virtue of its distance."

"Now that the distance between the two sides has narrowed, it means that the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power has gained the upper hand..."

As they spoke, the Aerial Fortress floating in mid-air suddenly collapsed, as if it were being torn apart by invisible hands, sending large pieces of debris scattering across the sky.

As the mountain and fortress fell together, Sword Qi roared and dust billowed into the sky, clearly indicating that the resistance from Heaven Sword University was still ongoing.

This resistance did not cease even after the fortress crashed into the ground; in fact, it intensified.

However, as the battlefield moved to the ground, Zhang Yu's advantage was further amplified.

Watching the earth undulate violently like boiling water, constantly churning and shattering everything in its path, Xiang Shan said calmly, "It's over."

Wan Gouxuan nodded slightly but remained silent.

Although the match was over, both men looked even more serious as they recalled Zhang Yu's breakthrough at the last moment.

To be honest, in Xiang Shan and Wan Gouxuan's opinion... breaking through in the heat of battle is not a rare thing. After all, cultivators practice their Cultivation Method every day, and breaking through during a competition is mostly just a coincidence.

It is rare for a genius to achieve two breakthroughs in a short period of time, but it is not unheard of in history. In fact, if the battle drags on for a long time, there have been instances of geniuses using the battle to sustain themselves, achieving three or four breakthroughs in a row during a major battle.

Even those with greater talent achieved breakthroughs in battle during ancient times, directly advancing from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, or from Golden Core to Nascent Soul. This was not an isolated case, since no qualifications were required in ancient times, and there was no illegal breakthrough.

But if Xiang Shan were to speak, he would desperately hope that Zhang Yu was such Peerless Genius, and that Zhang Yu had achieved this breakthrough in the Level 2 of the Cultivation Method through his own talent.

Even the Peerless Genius is still just one person's strength.

Xiang Shan thought to himself, "Zhang Yu's breakthrough now likely represents a breakthrough in the Immortal Dao Technique of Ten Thousand Methods cultivation."

"If that's the case, then in the future, many more students like this will likely be born in the Ten Thousand Methods."

"Not only will the Civil Engineering Department likely produce more Zhang Yu, but students from other departments will also become stronger."

"If that's the case, then it's not just a competition issue."

"In Civil Engineering projects alone, Ten Thousand Methods has more highly efficient construction workers, which allows them to further reduce construction costs and gain a significant advantage in project competition."

Xiang Shan knew that Ten Thousand Laws University and Heavenly Demon University had always been fierce competitors in construction projects.

Once Ten Thousand Laws University gains an advantage and takes on more projects, it means Heavenly Demon University will have fewer projects, less work, and less income...

"If this happens, especially before I graduate..."

Just thinking about this made Xiang Shan desperately hope that Zhang Yu was a peerless Peerless Genius, Peerless Genius who broke through with his own Martial Dao talent.

"Breakthrough based on one's own talent? How is that possible?"

Wang Yin, who was also standing in the audience of the Spirit Realm, looked in the direction of the arena, his eyes flashing with unfathomable light.

"The Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, which had already been Yin Artifact from Level 10 to level 16 by the Yin Artifact, could it possibly break through again on its own in just a few days?"

"Either Ten Thousand Methods concealed information and broke through to level 18 in the lab from the beginning, but what's the point of doing that?"

"It's more likely that, with the help of the Yin Artifact, he had already completed the necessary accumulation for his breakthrough, and was stimulated during the competition, which led to his successive breakthroughs."

"Perhaps if the battle continues and there's some further stimulation, I can break through to the next level."

Thinking of this, Wang Yin's heart gradually stirred.

"Anyway, the specific process doesn't matter, the result is the same: Ten Thousand Methods has indeed made a major breakthrough in Yin Artifact and Dual Cultivation Technology."

"The situation is about to change."

"The University War will proceed much faster."

Chaos is coming.

"An unprecedented opportunity is about to arrive."

Thinking of this, Wang Yin couldn't help but feel excited.

"The Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi is still too weak. Its range is too short, it lacks the variation of exquisite swordsmanship in operation, and it lacks the ability to open up multiple battlefields. It is only suitable for working for the Civil Engineering Department elements."

Wen Wuya glanced at the collapsed Aerial Fortress, a casual evaluation of the Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi flashed through his mind, and then he stopped thinking about the competition.

After all, for her, Zhang Yu's breakthroughs were more interesting than the outcome of the competition.

"The Dual Cultivation Technology of Ten Thousand Methods has indeed made a breakthrough, but where does this breakthrough originate?"

"They lack the inheritance of Dual Cultivation Technology, so it's unlikely they achieved it on their own."

Recalling the recent incident involving the Yin Artifact at Joyous Union University, Wen Wuya felt that the matter was already quite obvious.

"Either Ten Thousand Methods stole a batch of Yin Artifact, or he took in a batch of Yin Artifact afterward. In any case, it's highly likely that Zhang Yu's temporary success was due to his ability to decipher the Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord."

"However, there is still a long way to go from the laboratory to actual practical application, and then to mass production, and there will be many variables along the way."

"Especially from the initial disturbance of the Yin Artifact to the present results, only a few months have passed."

"In such a short time, Ten Thousand Methods has most likely only figured out... how to use the Yin Artifact of the Nectar Divine Lord."

"It's far from being possible to replicate the technology, or even use it to produce products."

Thinking of this, a subtle smile appeared on Wen Wuya's lips, "But next, the Nectar Divine Lord will certainly not let this go. Will a battle at the Nascent Soul level erupt between Ten Thousand Methods and Blissful Union?"

"So, what will our school's two divine beings choose to do?"

Thinking about this, Wen Wuya fell into deep thought.

In the audience seats.

As the earth erupted in cheers and the Heaven Sword University players surrendered one by one, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but clench her fist and cheer in her heart, "Yu Zi won!"

The message from the Seven Emotions Divine Lord flashed across her Eye Remains: You're not cheering for the victory of the Ten Thousand Laws University right now, are you?

Bai Zhenzhen denied it, saying, "How could that be! I'm a student at Heaven Sword University."

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord smiled and then said calmly, "It seems that Zhang Yu has completely fallen into the Dual Cultivation Dao."

"His Military-grade Cultivation Method have all been achieved through Dual Cultivation cultivation, so he will inevitably become addicted to it in the future."

"It is especially important to cooperate with Ten Thousand Methods's experiments; he will go further and further down this path."

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord sighed, then said, "This means that he and you, who cultivate the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, are no longer on the same path."

Outsiders may not be aware of the conflict between the two.

"But you, who cultivate the Extreme Emotion Dao, should understand..."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded slightly and said, "Yes, unlike me who went down the Evil Dao of Extreme Emotion, Yu Zi has already embarked on the Righteous Path of Dual Cultivation."

After three years of cultivation, Bai Zhenzhen has confirmed one thing: although the Extreme Emotion Dao is not as demonic as the Dual Cultivation Sect or the Unemployed Cult, it is still a thoroughly evil path.

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord: "How many times have I said it? Extreme Emotion is the Righteous Path, Dual Cultivation is the Evil Dao."

Bai Zhenzhen nodded casually, thinking to herself, "Yes, yes, yes, the whole world is wrong, you're right."

As the competition drew to a close, Bai Zhenzhen's figure flashed and she rushed towards the dusty arena.
