Startled by the shout from the Magnetic Extremes True Lord, the Thunder Extremes True Lord truly began to feel fear.

In his memory, his senior sister was always someone who never showed her emotions, and it was extremely rare for her to curse and even resort to violence like this.

After all, it would be undignified to take action lightly in Kunxu now.

In Thunder Extremes True Lord's memories, after his senior sister's rare outbursts of rage, many people would disappear each time.

Some left the University City, some left the entire Ten Thousand Laws University, and some left the University Realm altogether.

Every outburst of rage is an emotional release. After the emotions are released, all that remains is the weighing of gains and losses: what should be sacrificed must be sacrificed, what should be given up must be given up, and what should disappear must disappear!

And this time, the person who disappeared seems to be his apprentice!

Hearing Magnetic Extremes True Lord's words, Thunder Extremes True Lord weakly replied, "Ghost? Who's the ghost?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord continued, "Is the person in the video your disciple? Did you know he was doing these things? Isn't the problem with you?"

Thunder Extremes True Lord said with difficulty, "He! He signed a master-disciple contract with me!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord coldly replied, "So what if you signed a contract? Which of the top ten didn't tear up a bunch of contracts on their way to rise to power?"

"If contracts could control everything, what would be the point of having Heavenly Court?"

"It's not him, and it's not you, so could it be me? Is there something wrong with me? Am I a ghost?"

Thunder Extremes True Lord lowered his head and remained silent. His projection shrank even further, appearing even smaller and more helpless!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord then pointed at Zhang Yu and said, "Or is there something wrong with him? Did my disciple betray you?"

Thunder Extremes True Lord whispered, "How could it be your disciple, Senior Sister? He's just a Civil Engineering worker on the site, and he's only at the Foundation Establishment. How could it be him!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord glared coldly at Thunder Extremes True Lord: "You think you can handle Civil Engineering but not Foundation Establishment? I've already dealt with Nascent Soul when I Foundation Establishment."

After saying that, Magnetic Extremes True Lord took a deep breath, and the entire office fell silent. No one spoke again!

Just as the air grew increasingly heavy, Magnetic Extremes True Lord, his face expressionless, said again, "Besides your disciple, write down the names of five more of your subordinates and pin all the blame on them!"

"Give back half of how much money you've taken over the years!"

"Everyone's watching this now; we must settle this today!"

Upon hearing Magnetic Extremes True Lord's words, Thunder Extremes True Lord's heart skipped a beat again!

Sending out five more people... It wouldn't be too bad for him, but the thought of having to give away half of the hard-earned money he had saved up over the years made Thunder Extremes True Lord feel as if the Magical Power Circuit in his body were about to break down!

Thunder Extremes True Lord said with difficulty, "Senior Sister, that's my retirement and life -Longevity money!"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord laughed, "Do you know how many people, both inside and outside the school, don't want your senior sister to achieve the Nascent Soul stage?"

"You don't want to pay? No problem, then you come out and take responsibility for this!"

Thunder Extremes True Lord lowered his head and remained silent, his figure shrinking again until he was even shorter than Zhang Yu!

Magnetic Extremes True Lord coldly said, "Alright, I'll give you an hour to get this done!"

"From now on, get back to the lab and don't get involved in departmental matters!"

As the projection of Thunder Extremes True Lord gradually disappeared into the Spirit Realm Projection, Magnetic Extremes True Lord sighed with a complex expression!

As she rubbed Zhang Yu's head, she said casually, "My junior brother is getting more and more senile as he gets older!"

"In his youth, he was also a renowned genius, and the time it took him to break through to the Nascent Soul stage wasn't much longer than mine!"

"But ever since he reached the Nascent Soul, he has gradually become complacent!"

"Although he was initially excited after entering university, after repeated failures in competitions, the resources the school provided him gradually diminished, and he became disheartened. He stopped learning the latest weapon-refining techniques, stopped going to the laboratory, and spent his days scheming and plotting, ultimately ending up like this!"

"He's relieved, but did he ever consider how difficult it was for me?"

Magnetic Extremes True Lord sighed, "But if we deal with him, what will the other old men who have fought alongside me all this way think?"

"If I don't protect him even for a small thing, many people will think I've lost power and that I'm no good!"

"Even when I put him in the least likely place, he still manages to cause trouble for me..."

Hearing Magnetic Extremes True Lord's exclamation, Zhang Yu earnestly said, "Teacher, I will definitely not slack off, I will definitely work hard to climb up and closely follow behind you!"

"Alright!" Magnetic Extremes True Lord smiled upon hearing this, patted Zhang Yu's head, and pulled him into his arms. "Remember what happened today, and don't follow your uncle's example in the future!"

At the same time, the video footage kept flashing through Magnetic Extremes True Lord's mind!

The video was shot from such a tricky angle, it looked like they were being followed closely and filmed right next to them!

However, the subsequent investigation found no trace of the photographer at the scene!

All of this demonstrates the photographer's skill!

"Whose people are they?"

A series of names, both from within and outside the school, surged through the mind of Magnetic Extremes True Lord!

"The Golden Palace Divine Lord?"

"Immortal Soldier University? Vajra University?"

"Or perhaps the Nether University?"

There are too many people who might prevent him from achieving the Nascent Soul stage. Even the Magnetic Extremes True Lord couldn't be sure which faction was involved in this matter. He just became more and more vigilant and felt the difficulties and dangers on the path to Nascent Soul!

In the following days, Thunder Extremes True Lord voluntarily resigned from his original management position, and his disciple Bian Hao and the five people under his command all disappeared!

The Artifact Crafting Department remained completely calm, and the students were utterly unaware of all this!

If Zhang Yu hadn't been observing all of this the whole time, he probably would have thought that nothing had happened!

He had just stepped out of the laboratory that day when he received a message from Thunder Extremes True Lord!

Thunder Extremes True Lord: Nephew, how have you been lately?

Zhang Yu: True Lord, it's best if we don't address each other as master and disciple at school. I'm afraid Master might think it's inappropriate.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu's message, Thunder Extremes True Lord's internal Magical Power Circuit experienced a violent tremor!

"A petty person has gained power!"

Thunder Extremes True Lord ultimately suppressed his anger, after all, his current situation was already extremely bad!

The money he repaid severely impacted his Longevity plans, significantly shortening his original lifespan!

The loss of his position and the loss of his disciples meant that he saw no possibility of any increase in income for the next few years, and his life expectancy was decreasing day by day!

Through what he had seen and heard in the laboratory last time, Thunder Extremes True Lord realized that Zhang Yu was now favored by Magnetic Extremes True Lord!

"My senior sister is always buried in the laboratory, she knows it better than her own cave abode. She studies her experimental disciples every day, so naturally there's a sense of closeness between us!"

"If Zhang Yu were willing to put in a good word for me on the lab bench, it might even earn me some praise from my senior sister!"

Thinking of this, Thunder Extremes True Lord suppressed his anger and continued to communicate with Zhang Yu!

Thunder Extremes True Lord: Yu, what you said is true.

After exchanging a few words with the other party, Zhang Yu understood their intentions!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "You want me to put in a good word for you without paying?"

"That old man is getting more and more senile!"

Zhang Yu casually set the other party to receive messages but not to receive notifications, then went to attend to his own business!

Not long after, Zhang Yu received another message from Gathering Star True Lord!

Gathering Star True Lord: Zhang Yu, hello. I will temporarily take over the work of Thunder Extremes True Lord.

Gathering Star True Lord: If there are any problems with the project in the future, just hand them over to me!

After Zhang Yu greeted the other party, he was added to the work group by this Gathering Star True Lord!

The other person then spoke in the group, "Everyone, I'm a bit different from Thunder Extremes True Lord. I'm focused on my work and hate getting involved in messy things."

Gathering Star True Lord: As long as everyone works hard on the project, there won't be any Evil Qi here.

Gathering Star True Lord: Also, don't even think about sending me money.

Gathering Star True Lord: I hate this kind of thing the most. If anyone tries to play this game with me, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Someone immediately replied, "When Gathering Star True Lord arrives, Qingtian will arrive too."

After reading the messages in the group for a while, just as Zhang Yu was secretly wondering if the other party was really as righteous as they claimed, he was added as a friend by a disciple of Gathering Star True Lord!

Only then did he realize that if he was willing to spend 1 Spirit Coin to buy something at a designated online store, his project payment would arrive very quickly!

"One Spirit Coin? Only one Spirit Coin?"

Zhang Yu exclaimed, "He truly is an honest official!"

Fu Ji said, "That's how it is at the beginning. After all, Thunder Extremes True Lord has only just descended, how could he dare to charge more money!"

"But we can't refuse to accept it either. If he doesn't accept it, how will his superior accept it? If the superior doesn't accept it, how will Magnetic Extremes True Lord accept it?"

"But given time, in a few years, he'll probably eat even more!"

Zhang Yu said, "We'll talk about the future later. In a few years, when he's collected a lot more, who knows what the situation will be like!"

Zhang Yu knew he was aiming for the Top Ten League, so he was looking at the next few years; he wasn't one to think too far ahead!

With the arrival of the first payment for the project, Zhang Yu's account balance immediately exceeded 30 Spirit Coin!

Although there will be a lot of money to be spent on salaries and taxes, this actually represents a positive increase in funds!

As the days went by and the project ran smoothly, Zhang Yu not only had to personally go to the construction site a few days each month, but his company employees were also generating passive income for him every day!

As Zhang Yu continued to spend money to improve his weapon-refining Cultivation Method, he gradually became able to take on more and more weapon-refining orders!

With weapon crafting and Civil Engineering progressing simultaneously, Zhang Yu was gradually able to save 20 to 30 Spirit Coin a month, preparing for the construction of the prototype of the Military Grade treasure!

*******

mid-may

In the dormitory that day, Zhang Yu, unusually, infused Yu Xinghan with his magical power, enhancing the latter's magical power level and Magical Power Quality!

With the breakthrough of the final barrier, Yu Xinghan's magical power finally reached the 1000 mark, the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Feeling the powerful magic within his body, Yu Xinghan suddenly had a thought and discovered that the Third Eye in his mind was vibrating, as if it had begun another development!

Zhang Yu then discovered that Yu Xinghan's Dao Seed Three-Eyed Divine Power had increased from Level 2 to Level 3!
