Early March.

Heavenly Demon University.

Xiang Shan from the Civil Engineering Department, walked through the Procreation Department farm.

His enormous size made him resemble a small mountain, and every step he took caused the ground to tremble, startling the surrounding cubs.

However, when he saw the top student in the Procreation Department in front of him, Xiang Shan also raised his trunk and slightly restrained his arrogance.

The top student in the Procreation Department who appeared before him was a pig demon that was over 8 meters tall and had a body like a mountain of flesh.

The pig demon wore a string of Buddhist prayer beads around its neck, its entire body brimming with powerful Qi and Blood, and beneath its skin seemed to be countless demonic faces struggling and emitting mournful howls.

The pig demon opened its mouth and spat out a large number of fresh piglets covered in mucus. These piglets fell into the farm and struggled to eat.

Xiang Shan knew that this pig demon was named Zhu Mian Seng, who was not only Heavenly Prodigy in the Procreation Department of Heavenly Demon University, but also a participant in several sessions of the Top Ten League, and the master of three Military Grade powers.

The Zhu Mian Seng gasped for breath a few times, then slowly said, "Xiang Shan, why are you here instead of preparing for the competition?"

If it were an ordinary Civil Engineering Department student or a top student, the Zhu Mian Seng probably wouldn't even bother with him.

However, Xiang Shan is not just an ordinary top student in the Civil Engineering Department, but a rare Heavenly Prodigy has mastered two Military Grade powers and has even qualified to participate in the Top Ten League.

For example, in this Civil Engineering Finals, Zhu Mian Seng knew that if Xiang Shan could defeat Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin, two practitioners of Military-grade Cultivation Method, he would be allowed to participate in the school team as a Civil Engineering Department student, as an exception.

To the countless Demon Descendant of the Heavenly Demon University, this was nothing short of a Heaven-Opening event, defying the laws of Heavenly Gang and breaking through the limitations of profession and ethnicity.

But the Zhu Mian Seng knew that this was a racial reform that some of the Demon Race's higher-ups wanted to push forward, to change the habit at the Heavenly Demon University students choosing majors based on their race, and to further unleash the students' potential.

The Zhu Mian Seng didn't care about this, or rather, his mind was only on the Top Ten League a few months later. If Xiang Shan could prove that he was good enough to be his teammate, he wouldn't mind if Xiangshan joined the school team.

Xiang Shan said calmly, "I'd like to borrow your Dharma Skeleton for a moment."

The Zhu Mian Seng twitched his pig-like snout and said, "You want to breed their bloodline offspring on the spot while defeating Ten Thousand Methods?"

Xiang Shan said, "I know that our school has been secretly operating a Human Race breeding farm, producing a batch of humans for production and research, just like the breeding of Demon Race."

"The Procreation Department must have a lot of experience in this area by now, right?"

The Zhu Mian Seng curled his lip and said, "I can lend you my Bionic Dharma Skeleton, but the technique of the Nectar Divine Lord is said to involve..."

It also encompasses various Immortal Dao Technique such as Dharma Skeleton, bloodlines, reproduction, and Cultivation Method.

"It's hard to say how much useful information we can get from just one person, Zhang Yu."

Xiang Shan smiled slightly and said, "At least quite a few people want to buy materials, breed his offspring, and then make them into Living Pile on the spot. This does not violate Human Breeding Act, and the materials can be recycled and sold for money."

"Besides..."

Xiang Shan's trunk snapped back, and its tusks bulged out. "If I don't ruthlessly suppress these two, how will the Heavenly Demon race know my strength? How will they willingly see me break my old habits and join the school team?"

After leaving the breeding farm with the Bionic Dharma Skeleton of the Zhu Mian Seng, Xiang Shan's gaze suddenly sharpened; he had already received further news about the finals in a few days.

Aside from making various arrangements, he focused his attention on the champion's prize.

"Design blueprints for Military Grade Armor... This armor is... the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor?"

On the Simulated Construction Site of Ten Thousand Laws University City.

Under the control of an invisible Earthly Fiend Gravity, a large swath of mud and sand was tightly bound in mid-air.

At the same time, the three Golden Thread Jade Bi behind Zhang Yu resembled three Sun. After each disc shone brightly once, the Golden Thread Jade Bi on the left and right sides emitted beams of red light, which flowed into the center.

Within the Golden Thread Jade Bi.

Immediately afterwards, the Golden Thread Jade Bi in the center blazed with crimson light, unleashing Blazing Sun Ray as thick as an arm, which slammed into the mud and sand in front of it.

In the blink of an eye, the mud and sand rapidly crystallized in the high temperature, turning into pieces of glass-like material.

Next, Zhang Yu tried injecting his Deep Cold Magical Power into the Golden Thread Jade Bi, releasing Deep Frost Ray to cool it down.

Then I tried the effect of the Level 2 Deep Cold Magic Vein, attempting to transfer the heat out of my body.

Watching the three Golden Thread Jade Bi flash in turn, followed by bursts of Deep Frost Ray that continuously heated the mud and sand in front of him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Sure enough, I can use the Deep Cold Magic Vein in conjunction with the Golden Thread Jade Bi to remotely transfer the heat from my body."

"In this way, as long as I continue to circulate the Deep Cold Magic Vein and the Golden Thread Jade Bi during battle, I can continuously cool myself down while simultaneously raising the temperature of my opponent."

Zhang Yu thought to himself that this was equivalent to constantly giving himself buffs while constantly giving the opponent negative effects. By increasing one's own strength and decreasing the other's, the gap in combat power between the two sides could be widened over time.

In addition to increasing the number of Golden Thread Jade Bi to three these days, Zhang Yu has also begun practicing the third Cultivation Method of the Chain Law Diagram Set Artifact Forging Prodigy.

The Cultivation Method is called the Divine Fire Control Mirror. It requires purchasing various types of fire seeds to condense a stream of Divine Fire True Qi, which allows one to control various types of true fire and improve the efficiency and quality of material refining during weapon crafting.

In addition to the maintenance of other Law Treasure and the cultivation of weapon-refining Cultivation Method,

Okay, wait a minute, Zhang Yu's savings suddenly dropped to less than 10 Spirit Coin.

Fortunately, he usually used the three Golden Thread Jade Bi for his employees to use while they worked, which increased his daily passive income by about 0.03 to 0.04 Spirit Coin.

"Fortunately, the more Law Treasure one has, the more means of production one has, and the higher one's passive income becomes. Otherwise, the multi -Law Treasure tactic would be something a poor person like me couldn't use."

Of course, Zhang Yu updated the Golden Thread Jade Bi not simply to make money, but also to consider tactical coordination during the finals.

"In my Mountain Moving Warrior form, I unleashed the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force, unleashing the Double Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power... Although its power was unparalleled, it could not be sustained."

"It's fine if I encounter opponents whose strength is inferior to mine, but if I'm facing an opponent whose strength is superior to mine head-on, then fighting like this would actually put me at a disadvantage."

At this moment, Zhang Yu recalled Mo Shang Jin's words.

That was a reminder Mo Shang Jin gave Zhang Yu during training not long ago, after he recovered from his injuries and was discharged from the hospital.

"Zhang Yu, while the power of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power is formidable, its main manifestation is in transforming the environment."

"It can be said that the larger the range of effect, the stronger the power that the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power can unleash."

"Conversely, the smaller the range of effect, the better the effect of the Earthly Fiend Gravity."

It will be even harder to perform well.

"Therefore, when dealing with individual units, if your strength is insufficient to suppress them, then the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power can be used as the best crowd control skill."

Mo Shang Jin sighed, "Xiang Shan, whom we will fight next, is a case in point. To deal with him... we must both use the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power to control and restrain him, and wear him down little by little."

Zhang Yu Outer Dao, "Xiang Shan is that powerful? The two of us can't defeat him head-on?"

Mo Shang Jin nodded. "Besides their Civil Engineering Department -Military-grade Cultivation Method, the <Mount Sumeru King Scripture>, Xiang Shan probably also possesses a Military Grade Dharma Skeleton this year."

Zhang Yu: "Military-grade Dharma Skeleton?"

Mo Shang Jin sighed, "It's said that shortly after he passed the Military Certificate exam, he won a design blueprint for a Military-grade Dharma Skeleton in a lottery."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse, "Lottery? Winning the design blueprints for Military-grade Dharma Skeleton? Damn it... they've gone so far as to shamelessly use connections."

Mo Shang Jin said quietly, "Ever since obtaining this blueprint, Xiang Shan has been constantly earning money to hire people to help him refine this Dharma Skeleton."

"When I fought him last year, this Dharma Skeleton was not yet fully completed, but it was enough to suppress me in a head-on confrontation."

"He's been working Fourth Office to earn money all year, and he's probably almost finished completing this Military-grade Dharma Skeleton."

After saying that, Mo Shang Jin told Zhang Yu about Xiang Shan's combat characteristics, Cultivation Method, and various manifestations of his Dharma Skeleton. He also sent Zhang Yu the video recording of last year's competition so that Zhang Yu could learn more about Xiang Shan.

The more Zhang Yu understood Xiang Shan's strength, the more he realized why Mo Shang Jin, despite his formidable power, had lost to him last year.

"Two Military Grade weapons—that's practically cheating in the Civil Engineering Department."

"However, with both Mo Shang Jin and I fighting him this year, our chances of victory are not small."

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering this, further news about the finals arrived.

Zhang Yu's gaze swept over the arrangements of time, location, and personnel, finally settling on the Military Grade Armor design blueprints for the prize.

At first, Zhang Yu didn't care much about this. After all, although he had embarked on the path of weapon crafting, he was currently mainly crafting magical Law Treasure and didn't know much about armor.

"Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor?"

But as he clicked on the design blueprints of this military- Military Grade Armor Military Grade Armor and read its description, a line of small print appeared before his eyes.

"The Great Saint Successor?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. He then looked at the line of text, and the armor introduction page popped up again. He went back in several times.

"Is he really Great Saint Successor?"

"Why would a design blueprint for a Military Grade Armor set... suddenly appear with Chain Law Diagram?"

Zhang Yu knew that the Chain Law Diagram sets were all created by combining Cultivation Method.

For example, the Great Saint Successor possesses three mental techniques Desolate Ox Soul-Suppressing Heart Sutra, the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, and the Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body.

"Could it be that the design blueprints for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor... also include a Cultivation Method?"

Zhang Yu wasn't sure, but a slight sense of anticipation arose in his heart.

After all, for a long time, the Great Saint Successor only collected the Desolate Ox Soul-Suppressing Heart Sutra and the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra of this Chain Law Diagram Set.

The later Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body was actually Black Cultivation Method found deep within the Spirit Realm.

Besides this, what other Cultivation Method does the Great Saint Successor possess? Zhang Yu has had absolutely no clue about them.

He had always suspected that the relevant Cultivation Method were either lost or, like the Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body, were unrecorded Black Cultivation Method not found in the Daoist Canon Catalog of the Ten Great Sects.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The design blueprints for the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor were also passed down from above. It's probably something that universities didn't even have until this Civil Engineering Finals... that it has reappeared in the world."
