She Was Different

As Feng Yuhan spoke, his aura grew stronger, and he stared intently at the Magnetic Extremes True Lord before him.

Just then, Director Gao said, "Professor Feng, this project involves more than just the Artifact Crafting Department. Zhang Yu is a key student that our Civil Engineering Department is focusing on developing. In order to win the competition, our department will naturally give our full support and will never allow Zhang Yu to be humiliated on the field."

As they were talking, Director Gao had already stood next to Magnetic Extremes True Lord.

"Gao Chongguang, you really know how to go all out." Feng Yuhan looked at the two standing together and said slowly, "What kind of bewitching potion did Magnetic Pole give you? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "The Civil Engineering Department and the Artifact Crafting Department have always cooperated. For example, one of our Artifact Crafting Department Forging students, Feng Tingting, has transferred to Civil Engineering to pursue a double degree. She can also help the Civil Engineering Department in this competition. In the future, Weapon Forging and Civil Engineering will have more cooperation."

Director Gao said calmly, "Our Civil Engineering Department also has Mo Shang Jin, who has also mastered the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power. As long as he recovers from his injuries, he can step in to provide support at any time, which is enough to protect Zhang Yu."

Feng Yuhan frowned and said, "After all you two have said, how can you guarantee that Immortal Soldier University and Heavenly Demon University won't invest even more?"

"Ultimately, increasing costs to take risks... is completely unnecessary. No matter how much risk you can reduce, it's not as safe as letting Zhang Yu stay quietly in the university town."

"The best course of action is to keep him in the lab. Only by staying in the lab can we ensure that he is not touched by outsiders."

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Zhang Yu said, "Fellow teachers, I have an idea that should guarantee my safety on the field."

Feng Yuhan gave him a cold glance and was about to say that the teachers were discussing something, and it was a student like him who had the right to interrupt.

As for having Zhang Yu prove his fighting ability, he felt it was even more meaningless.

How strong is considered strong? What level of combat power and construction ability is needed to ensure Zhang Yu isn't tarnished on the field?

In Feng Yuhan's view, Zhang Yu could neither prove nor guarantee anything.

But then Zhang Yu said, "I can surrender."

Feng Yuhan was slightly taken aback.

Zhang Yu continued, "I surrendered extremely quickly."

"I'll surrender the moment I sense anything is wrong."

"Even if I lose the match this time, I will never give them the chance to insult me."

Zhang Yu said sincerely, "I understand. Preventing me from being humiliated by the opponent is more important than the outcome of the next match."

Director Gao, standing nearby, said, "When we played against Vajra University before, it was Zhang Yu who led the surrender and was the first to run off the field. This student has a lot of responsibility and courage in this regard."

Just then, Zhang Yu's Foundation Establishment Domain suddenly activated, and a line of text appeared before everyone: Foundation Establishment cultivator Zhang Yu has decided to cease hostilities and withdraw from the competition. Please stop attacking immediately, or you will bear the consequences.

Zhang Yu said, "This is Foundation Establishment Domain I paid for to have custom-made."

"Control can be handed over to Teacher Gao. Whenever Teacher Gao feels something is wrong, he can let me activate my Foundation Establishment Domain and withdraw from the competition."

"If I withdraw from the competition and the opponent still tries to attack, not only can the referee stop them, but the teachers can also come to my aid."

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said calmly, "I will keep an eye on the competition and can protect Zhang Yu at any time. No additional funds are needed."

Director Gao added, "And me too, so there's no risk on the field now, right, Teacher Feng?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: "The same principle applies outside the arena. As long as we keep Zhang Yu's information confidential and ensure stable communication at all times, and with our ability to arrive and provide support at any time, there is little risk."

"Moreover, these methods are not very costly, but the benefits include publicizing project achievements, boosting stock prices, and even the possibility of obtaining Military Grade Armor design blueprints."

Seeing Feng Yuhan frown and remain silent, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord chuckled and said, "Alright, look, after all this discussion, you've come up with a solution, haven't you?"

"Magnetic Pole, Greenwood, you two finalize the detailed specifications of the plan and then send it to the Research Department for review."

"Xiao Feng, the Research Department should expedite this process and get it approved by tomorrow at the latest."

"If you have any other opinions, please bring them up on the spot, so as not to delay things later."

Feng Yuhan said, "The idea is indeed a solution, but if we lose the competition and constantly need support and protection, what kind of publicity effect will it have? It might even backfire and drag down the project and the stock price."

"Besides, Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Azure Wood True Lord, aren't your working hours also part of the school's schedule? Going out to support Zhang Yu during working hours, won't that interfere with your work? Isn't that also a loss for the school?"

"Therefore, I suggest that if they surrender in the next competition, it proves that the costs and risks outweigh the benefits, so we shouldn't let Zhang Yu go out again."

The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord nodded. "Xiao Feng's words make sense. You two both have work to do, and you really can't keep looking after Zhang Yu all the time. Let's settle on this."

Faced with the calm gaze of the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord, both the Magnetic Extremes True Lord and Director Gao nodded slightly in agreement.

Then the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord looked at Zhang Yu and smiled slightly, "You are a smart young man. I like talking to young people, and I also like talking to smart people, unlike some old fogies who only know how to stick to the old ways, lack change, and just wait to die every day."

No one present continued to follow up on what the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord had said. After all, the "old relic" the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord was referring to was probably a master at the Divine Transformation Realm. The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord's words were nothing unusual, and the teachers and students present dared not object.

The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord sighed, "This opportunity was fought for for you by the Magnetic Extremes True Lord and the Azure Wood True Lord."

"But you must remember, victory or defeat is a small matter, but losing one's integrity is a great matter."

"Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform."

Just after Zhang Yu and the others left, a mysterious smile appeared on the face of the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord.

Within his field of vision, which only he could see, streams of information had already appeared before him not long ago, following the Spirit Realm Network.

It was a message from the Seven Emotions Divine Lord of Heaven Sword University.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: I bought Zhang Yu from your Civil Engineering Department.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: Name your price.

Myriad Transformations Divine Lord: Don't talk nonsense. Students aren't my property, how can I buy and sell them?

Seeing that the Seven Emotions Divine Lord had not replied to the message, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord showed a faint smile, "I want to see if your Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is in a hurry, and how long you can endure it."

Just then, the Seven Emotions Divine Lord sent another message.

Seven Emotions Divine Lord: I've come to find you.

The Myriad Transformations Divine Lord frowned slightly. "Looking for me?"

His gaze shifted slightly, a thousand lights flashing in his eyes, but he found that neither Heaven Sword University nor Ten Thousand Laws University had made any move.

But the next moment, the Myriad Transformations Divine Lord raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "This guy..."

He looked up at the sky. "Are you referring to the main body of the Sixth Layer?"

On the way out of the 666th Layer.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord thought to himself, "That kid Feng Yuhan is probably still not giving up and will try to seize control of this project."

Just then, Director Gao said from the side, "Magnetic Pole, don't you think that the way Shenjun and Feng Yuhan spoke and looked at me today was sometimes a little strange?"

Zhang Yu paused slightly, but Magnetic Extremes True Lord casually said, "Really? You're just imagining things."

Director Gao frowned. "But...?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord said, "No buts, think about the details of supporting Zhang Yu later. He's your own student, you need to get things moving as soon as possible."

Then, Magnetic Extremes True Lord privately asked, "Have you discussed the matter of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord's disciples with Zhang Yu?"

Director Gao: I sent him some news.

Magnetic Extremes True Lord: I have something to do later, so you can take this opportunity to talk to him and get him to cut off contact as soon as possible.

After Magnetic Extremes True Lord parted ways with the two, Director Gao pondered for a moment and then said, "I heard you have a good relationship with that new disciple of Seven Emotions Divine Lord?"

Zhang Yu nodded. "Yes, Bai Zhenzhen is my high school classmate."

While recalling the newly gathered intelligence from yesterday, Director Gao slowly said, "Did you see the news I sent you? The Seven Emotions Divine Lord knows many sword techniques, the most famous of which are the Seven Emotions Sword Dao and the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao."

"The Seven Emotions Sword Dao can enhance the power of swordsmanship according to the changes in the Seven Emotions."

"And the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao is even more incredible. It is said to allow one to control the sword with emotion, using extreme feelings to drive the sword technique."

"The specific principles of this sword technique are a closely guarded secret of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, unknown to outsiders. However, judging from the experiences of her disciples, this sword art is an utterly Evil Dao. Practitioners have killed their wives, husbands, fathers, mothers, daughters, and children—not just once or twice..."

Zhang Yu said firmly, "Bai Zhenzhen and I climbed up from the same floor of high school; she's different."

Seeing Zhang Yu's serious expression, Director Gao shook his head helplessly. "People change. The more money a person has and the higher their cultivation level, the faster they change."

Zhang Yu asked, "Has your centuries-long friendship with Magnetic Extremes True Lord changed?"

Director Gao said, "You don't understand, her Magnetic Pole are different."

Zhang Yu said, "Bai Zhenzhen is different too."

Director Gao thought to himself, annoyed, "Is this kid... blinded by the background of a Nascent Soul disciple?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Old Gao, you can't even handle Magnetic Pole yourself, so don't try to teach me."

Director Gao then advised, "Don't you have a good relationship with Wen Wuya? He's also a Nascent Soul disciple. You should cultivate with him more and stay away from Bai Zhenzhen."

"They're both Nascent Soul disciples, isn't Wen Wuya far superior to Bai Zhenzhen, who went Evil Dao?"

Zhang Yu disagreed, but seeing Director Gao's somewhat annoyed expression, he didn't argue further.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuhan returned to his office and pulled out a series of student files.

He thought to himself, "That woman, Magnetic Pole, just buries herself in experiments all day, acts arbitrarily in projects, and has an excessive need for control."

"She only needs to focus on research; how could she possibly understand the difficulties our Research Department?"

"We still need to find a way to keep her in check. We can't let her continue to act recklessly and without restraint in important projects."

While pondering these matters, Feng Yuhan's gaze swept over the numerous students' files, occasionally selecting one.

"The key issue now is that she has control over the experimental results."

"If more students can react with the Spirit Transformation Yin Artifact and achieve results, then we won't need to care about Zhang Yu."

With this in mind, Feng Yuhan immediately decided to select more people and send them to True Lord Tianzhang so that they could produce new results as soon as possible.
