Zhang Yu’s cultivation and finances grew rapidly while Wang Yin’s discovery that he had been deceived shattered his Dao Heart. After his mother explained that the setback exposed a flaw he needed to overcome, Zhang Yu remained wary of retaliation, but the days passed quietly as he completed his sixth Breathing Technique.

• Zhang Yu advanced his Dao Heart to level 14, raised his Physical Strength to level 15, and measured his Gang Qi Conductivity and Astral Qi force-transmission distance.
• Zhang Yu received a warning from Tian Yang that the deception might have been exposed, while Wang Yin watched footage of Zhang Yu eating heartily and realized Tian Yang and Zhang Yu had played him.
• Wang Yin’s rage made his Dao Heart regress from level 16 to level 15 and caused his Magical Power and body to destabilize.
• Wang Yin’s mother admitted she had asked Mo Xingzi to expose the flaw in Wang Yin’s heart and urged him to learn to recover from setbacks rather than let his cultivation method control him.
• Zhang Yu waited for Wang Yin’s retaliation, but several days passed without incident as he completed his sixth Breathing Technique and activated the First Layer effect of Qi Vein Everflow.

Zhang Yu tested Qi Vein Everflow’s rapid Magical Power recovery, while Yu Xinghan prepared to earn quick money through unlicensed massage work. The chapter left Zhang Yu pouring an unusually large amount of Magical Power into Le Mulan as her cultivation continued to improve.

• Zhang Yu used Qi Vein Everflow while exhausting his Magical Power at long range and found that it let him sustain the effort for about an hour, though he decided not to sell large amounts of Magical Power.
• Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan learned that Wang Yin had blocked Tian Yang and withdrawn to study and cultivate, ending their steady stream of paid meals and massages.
• Yu Xinghan practiced the massage techniques he had learned with his Three-Eyed Divine Power, contacted Li Xuelian, and began his first outdoor job in the Dark Massage World.
• Xuan Ge turned away a student seeking to dual cultivate with Le Mulan, then helped take out the rubbish as she went to Zhang Yu’s room.
• Zhang Yu transferred a much larger amount of Magical Power into Le Mulan than before, leaving her worried that the infusion might be too much.

Zhang Yu discovered a hidden passage at the cemetery construction site but chose not to investigate it, then joined a Civil Engineering competition team’s tryout.

• Cong Na’s attacks stopped Zhang Yu’s construction, and she judged that he could endure hits but could not keep the project moving.
• Zhang Yu sent out Humanoid Gang Qi that copied Cong Na’s Tendon Breaking Palm and blocked her while he resumed assembling the rebar.

Zhang Yu passed Cong Na’s test for the Ten Thousand Laws University competition team by using the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force to absorb and return her attacks. Afterward, he helped Le Mulan trigger a transformation in her Magical Power, but she discovered that the process had left Zhang Yu frozen stiff.

• Zhang Yu used Humanoid Gang Qi and the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force to counter Cong Na’s Tendon Breaking Palm and Starfall Channeling Technique.
• Cong Na prepared to use her Starry Sky Meridian Arm, but Ma Xuan told her to stop and considered Zhang Yu a useful secret weapon for the competition team.

• Zhang Yu went to Le Mulan after she said her Magical Power was close to transforming, then transferred Magical Power to help her.
• Le Mulan’s dantian released a terrifying chill that transformed her meridians and Magical Power, and she found Zhang Yu frozen and motionless behind her.

After copying Le Mulan’s Deep Cold Magic Vein, Zhang Yu recovered from its freezing effects and discovered that its cold power could poison, immobilize, and possibly slow the loss of lifespan. While testing ways to use it, he spotted flour near a hidden passage and suspected a Dark Planting Realm was involved.

• Zhang Yu copied Le Mulan’s Deep Cold Magic Vein, froze into stasis, and was warmed by Le Mulan while Bai Zhenzhen mistook his strange behavior for self-indulgence during their call.
• Zhang Yu examined the new Frost Magical Power and found that it could spread Cold Poison, freeze Astral Qi, kill germs, freeze wounds, and possibly slow the loss of lifespan.
• Le Mulan agreed to research the possible lifespan effect using the Medicine Academy’s resources, and Zhang Yu told her to keep the discovery secret.
• Over the next few days, Zhang Yu experimented with the Deep Cold Magic Vein and made a Humanoid Gang Qi with frozen Astral Qi bones, which was stronger but slower and more costly.
• At the tomb construction site, Zhang Yu found flour near a hidden passage, checked the camera footage, and suspected a Dark Planting Realm.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Pianpian discovered a large Dark Planting Realm flour operation at Huilong Garden and planned to seize its shipment rather than simply arrest the farmers. Zhang Pianpian recruited Zhang Yu and asked him to sound out Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan, while Yu Xinghan agreed to meet after Zhang Yu hinted the scheme could make money.

• Zhang Yu and Fu Ji watched flour being processed at Huilong Garden and suspected the operation was connected to the Dark Planting Realm and the cemetery damage.
• Zhang Yu consulted Zhang Pianpian, who identified his sample as 99% pure Earth Qi Wheat and went with him to investigate the construction site.

• Zhang Yu messaged Yu Xinghan about a money-making opportunity, and Yu Xinghan agreed to meet after asking whether it would earn more than 0.06 Spirit Coin.

Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan raided a Dark Planting Realm hideout with Zhang Pianpian's support, aiming to seize its goods and eliminate its members. They overwhelmed the hideout and joined forces against its Foundation Establishment guard.

• Zhang Yu recruited Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan to help rob a Dark Planting Realm hideout, and both agreed to trust him and join the operation.
• Zhang Pianpian guided the trio through the hidden entrance and disabled the surrounding surveillance and Spirit Realm Network for five minutes.
• Zhang Yu charged toward the hideout's storage point while Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan blocked the gang members from escaping and killed those they encountered.
• A five-meter-tall Foundation Establishment guard confronted Zhang Yu, but Zhang Pianpian's talisman tricks distracted him as Zhang Yu struck from behind.
• After the remaining gang members were killed, Yu Xinghan and Le Mulan joined Zhang Yu to surround the guard and attack him with their distinct abilities.

Ji Zhi’s history of exploitation drove him into the Dark Planting Realm, where Zhang Yu, Le Mulan, and Yu Xinghan defeated him under Zhang Pianpian’s guidance. After securing the flour bricks, Zhang Pianpian ordered the team to take most of the goods and smuggle them out as ashes.

• Ji Zhi recalled how workplace No. 18 Evil Qi contamination ruined his health and livelihood, pushing him into the Wheat Shadow Society’s criminal Earth Qi Wheat operation.
• Ji Zhi unleashed his Blazing Sun Gang Qi against Zhang Yu, Le Mulan, and Yu Xinghan, but they exploited openings with coordinated attacks and defeated him.
• Zhang Pianpian told the team to leave the planted Earth Qi Wheat for the Clean-up Crew and assessed the flour bricks as worth over a hundred Spirit Coins.
• Zhang Pianpian explained that the gang’s goods were controlled by powerful insiders and ordered Zhang Yu to set aside one-tenth for the Patrol Team.
• Zhang Pianpian said they would take the remaining flour bricks and transport them out of the cemetery as ashes.

Zhang Yu and his companions smuggled flour out of the Cemetery by disguising it as ashes, then returned to their dormitory with the operation’s proceeds still pending. After Zhang Pianpian said the job could help her earn a promotion, Zhang Yu sensed that activating her Taiqing Talisman required 50 Spirit Coins and asked whether she was short of money.

• Zhang Pianpian arranged for Zhang Yu to disguise himself as an ash transporter and cast a Stealth Talisman on him before he carried a box of flour out of Huilong Garden.
• Saint Jay stopped Zhang Yu at the exit, tasted the flour, mistook it for ashes from pig demons, and let him pass.
• Zhang Yu delivered the flour to a room on the forty-fifth floor, then reunited with Zhang Pianpian, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan, who agreed to wait two or three months for their share of the money.
• Zhang Pianpian called the Patrol Team, and Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan were questioned and released with promises of a one-Spirit-Coin reward each.
• Zhang Yu considered spending his future earnings on Spirit-Flesh Unity training, but decided to try cultivating on his own first.
• Zhang Pianpian said the operation could help her become deputy team leader, and Zhang Yu sensed that her Taiqing Talisman needed 50 Spirit Coins to activate before asking if she was short of money.

Zhang Yu joined the Civil Engineering Department’s Competition Team and learned how demanding it would be to transfer to the Artifact Crafting Department, a necessary step toward entering one of the Ten Great Sects. As June began, he continued trying to reach Spirit-Flesh Unity and received an invitation from Ma Xuan to attend team coordination training.

• Zhang Yu joined Cong Na’s six-person Competition Team and saw that its members were high-ranking Civil Engineering students who discussed costly Dharma Skeletons and other supplies.
• Zhang Yu realized transferring to the Artifact Crafting Department required reaching the department’s top twenty, and he resolved to transfer early so he could pursue admission to one of the Ten Great Sects.
• Zhang Yu repeatedly practiced entering Spirit-Flesh Unity; although he failed, his cultivation circulation grew smoother and he reached the semi-instinct state more quickly.
• By early June, Zhang Yu’s Magical Power had reached 661.3, its quality 168%, his Dao Heart level 14, and his Physical Strength level 15.18.
• Ma Xuan invited Zhang Yu to take part in the Competition Team’s coordination training.

Zhang Yu joined the Civil Engineering Department competition team, won his teammates’ respect by enduring an exceptionally powerful massage, and trained with them at a simulated construction site. He later began selling his Magical Power through an underground broker, whose test reached Li Xuelian and prompted her to reflect on his rapid progress.

• Zhang Yu attended the team’s first training session at a massage club and endured a technician’s full-force massage for thirty minutes, earning Ma Xuan and the other members’ recognition.
• The six teammates trained together at a simulated construction site, where Zhang Yu demonstrated precise Humanoid Gang Qi and Ma Xuan showed him the terrain-controlling Small Three Harmonies technique.

• The broker’s Mystic Creation Relic reached Li Xuelian, who recognized how quickly Zhang Yu’s Magical Power had improved.
• Yu Xinghan messaged Li Xuelian asking whether she had any jobs, and she sighed as she considered Zhang Yu’s growing involvement in the underground trade.

Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu tested their evolving combat techniques while Zhang Yu helped Yu Xinghan improve his Spirit Root Fusion. By the end of June, the Cemetery project had ended and Zhang Yu’s Qi Meridian Everflowing reached Layer 8.

• Yu Xinghan disguised himself to take a Civil Engineering Department massage job, then hurried to his Cemetery construction shift.
• Zhang Yu tested his Formless and Deep Cold Warrior techniques against Yu Xinghan, whose Dragon Elephant Vajra Palm nearly shattered the Deep Cold Warrior.
• Zhang Yu stopped the spar and used a Formless Warrior to stimulate Yu Xinghan’s Spirit Root instead.
• Over the next few days, Zhang Yu helped Yu Xinghan raise his Spirit Root Fusion to ten-tenths, improving his control of his body and Magical Power.
• The Cemetery project ended in late June, and Zhang Yu’s Qi Meridian Everflowing reached Layer 8.

Zhang Yu tested the benefits of his improved Qi Meridian Everflowing and grew more determined to defeat Ji Yuan Shu in the final exam, but Ji Yuan Shu joined the Competition Team and pushed Zhang Yu into a substitute role. After receiving his share of the Dark Planting Realm robbery, Zhang Yu spent 30 Spirit Coins on Hammer Heart Residence’s guaranteed Spirit-Flesh Unity service and began his first simulated breakthrough.

• Zhang Yu found that his improved Qi Meridian Everflowing let him sustain five Formless Warriors or two Deep Cold Warriors at full strength, and he planned to complete its final layer before the final exam.
• Ma Xuan told Zhang Yu that Ji Yuan Shu had joined the Competition Team and that Zhang Yu would become a substitute; the team later held a training session without informing him.
• Zhang Yu considered switching teams but decided to focus on training and revisit the decision after the final exam.
• The dormitory residents received Spirit Coins from the Dark Planting Realm robbery, and Zhang Yu’s balance rose to 42.9 Spirit Coins.
• Zhang Yu chose Hammer Heart Residence’s 30-Spirit-Coin guaranteed Spirit-Flesh Unity service over saving for the Taiqing Talisman, accepted a twelve-installment plan with a free cultivation method compatibility test, and entered his first simulated breakthrough.

Zhang Yu experienced two Spirit Realm simulations in which he endured extreme pain while cultivating the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, but he still could not confirm that he had reached Spirit-Flesh Unity. After learning that Ji Yuan Shu had joined Ma Xuan’s team and he had been replaced, Zhang Yu was visited by Le Mulan.

• Zhang Yu completed a simulation in which factory doctors repeatedly removed his Spirit Root, and he eventually cultivated the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra through constant pain.
• Zhang Yu suspected the first simulation drew on data from Kunxu and worried that the simulated breakthrough had used an incomplete version of his heart sutra.
• Zhang Yu continued his construction work on the 667th Layer, impressing Ying Xin, while Ji Yuan Shu saw Zhang Yu’s improved performance through Fortune Monitoring.
• Zhang Yu began a second simulation as a wealthy Medicine Fields owner, suffered severe Di Sha Qi corrosion, and circulated the heart sutra through his ordeal.
• After removing the Spirit Realm Mask, Zhang Yu felt phantom pain and noticed the White Ox in his mind had grown livelier, though he still saw no sign of Spirit-Flesh Unity.
• Tu Lishan confirmed that Ji Yuan Shu had joined Ma Xuan’s team and Zhang Yu had been swapped out, then Le Mulan arrived at Zhang Yu’s dormitory and urged him to make the most of their time.

Zhang Yu continued his Spirit-Flesh Unity trials, learned that Bai Zhenzhen would visit Ten Thousand Laws University for a flying sword competition, and secured Magnetic Extremes True Lord as a provisional mentor under demanding conditions. As the Final Exam neared, Zhang Yu completed the final layer of Qi Vein Everflow, Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power reached Level 2, and Zhang Yu finally entered Spirit-Flesh Unity.

• Zhang Yu helped Le Mulan endure the cold during their training while Xuan Ge eavesdropped outside and misunderstood their closeness.
• Zhang Yu experienced two Spirit Realm lives: as a laboratory test subject freed under the Mortal Protection Law and as an arms dealer who incited wars, and each experience brought him closer to Spirit-Flesh Unity.

• With Deng Bingding's help, Zhang Yu designated Magnetic Extremes True Lord as his provisional mentor, and Magnetic Extremes True Lord set conditions Zhang Yu had to meet by his third year to become his student officially.
• As August brought the Final Exam within a month, Zhang Yu completed the final layer of Qi Vein Everflow, Yu Xinghan's Three-Eyed Divine Power reached Level 2, and Zhang Yu entered Spirit-Flesh Unity.

Zhang Yu reached new heights in his construction work after mastering Qi Vein Everflow and Level 2 Three-Eyed Divine Power, but his progress in Spirit-Flesh Unity stalled. The chapter ended with Hammer Heart Residence manager You Chuan watching Zhang Yu enter the simulation again and worrying that he might break the record for the longest time without a breakthrough.

• Yu Xinghan reached Level 2 Three-Eyed Divine Power and tried to arrange a video collaboration with Lian Tianji, who directed him to send a private message for business inquiries.
• Zhang Yu used Level 2 Three-Eyed Divine Power to inspect his body and improve the precision of his self-healing.
• Zhang Yu completed all ten Breathing Techniques of Qi Vein Everflow and discovered that it could convert stamina into magical power.
• Zhang Yu used the technique to summon up to ten Formless Warriors, greatly increasing his construction output and earning more than 0.1 Spirit Coin for a night of work.
• Li Xiao saw Zhang Yu working with many Formless Warriors and mistakenly believed he was risking severe bodily harm by taking Tiger-Wolf Medicine.
• After Zhang Yu's Spirit-Flesh Unity breakthrough stalled, You Chuan increased his Hammer Heart Residence simulation access to three sessions a day, but Zhang Yu still showed no signs of breaking through.

Zhang Yu broke through to Spirit-Flesh Unity during a dangerous Spirit Realm simulation and received an unknown cultivation method from a mysterious voice. After extracting compensation from Hammer Heart Residence, he learned the method was a powerful Black Cultivation Method and chose to cultivate it before the Final Exam deadline.

• You Chuan ordered Zhang Yu’s simulation to use deep connection and replay the breakthrough at one-third speed, despite warnings about its pain and mental effects.
• Zhang Yu relived his debt, failing Dharma Skeletons, and phantom pain, then broke through to Spirit-Flesh Unity as a mysterious voice told him to find its spirit, physical body, and magical power.
• After the simulation disconnected and crashed, Zhang Yu confronted You Chuan and negotiated monthly payments, including interest, in exchange for not pursuing a formal complaint.
• Zhang Yu sent the unfamiliar web address to Zhang Pianpian, who helped him access a cultivation method absent from the Great Library.
• Zhang Pianpian identified the method as a potentially high-grade Black Cultivation Method and warned Zhang Yu to conceal his practice and avoid circulating it in the Spirit Realm Network.
• Zhang Yu began cultivating the method, and time passed to the Final Exam deadline at the end of August.

Zhang Yu reached Level 10 in the Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body, gaining the ability to operate two streams of consciousness in parallel, just as his Dao Heart exams began. While he headed to the exam with Yu Xinghan, the Spirit Realm examiner tested students with personal crises and recorded their responses.

• Zhang Yu reviewed his improved cultivation and finances, then advanced the Immeasurable Inner Heart Dharma Body to Level 10 and learned to control two streams of consciousness at once.
• Zhang Yu used his dual consciousness to control two Formless Warriors and estimated that he could now operate nine of them at full power.
• Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan went to the examination hall, where the first Dao Heart exam began with randomly assigned scenarios.
• Li Xiao faced a false death certificate that cut him off from his Spirit Realm access, money, and social standing, and Feng Jiu's artifact spirit assessed his emotional resilience.
• Ying Xin responded to bankruptcy by summoning six generations of his civil engineering ancestors' coffins, while the artifact spirit praised his psychological resilience and wealth.
• Yu Xinghan faced a broken engagement and declared that he would marry into the wealthy family regardless, prompting the artifact spirit to deem the test outdated and assign him another question.

The Foundation Establishment Class took its final professional exam after Zhang Yu emerged as Ji Yuan Shu’s closest rival across the earlier tests. Ji Yuan Shu used his lead to gather fortune and strengthen himself, while the chapter ended as the class began the practical construction exam that would decide their rankings.

• Gongshu Jin’s battlefield performance earned praise for his composure, while Zhang Yu’s handling of sudden wealth showed exceptional self-control.
• Zhang Yu’s Magical Power results rose to match Ji Yuan Shu’s, and the two raced neck and neck in the physical-strength exam, though Ji Yuan Shu stayed ahead.
• Teachers saw Zhang Yu closing the gap in overall scores, while Ji Yuan Shu’s Fortune Monitoring showed his chances of victory increasing.
• Ji Yuan Shu challenged Zhang Yu and Gongshu Jin in the group chat, gathering classmates’ confidence as fortune and his strength grew.
• Tu Lishan explained the combined construction exam, requiring students to select materials, build from blueprints, and then withstand ten waves of attacks.

The students began a civil engineering exam to build bunkers, and Li Xiao, Ying Xin, and Gongshu Jin each pursued a different way to make the most of the available materials and terrain. Ji Yuan Shu defeated Gongshu Jin in their contest to redirect the simulated Spirit Vein, then used his Luck to empower another technique as construction continued.

• Tu Lishan gave the students fifteen minutes to prepare for an exam in which they would build bunkers and withstand ten attacks.
• Ji Yuan Shu, Zhang Yu, and Gongshu Jin raced ahead to gather materials, while Li Xiao searched for lower-ranked alternatives and Ying Xin focused on transporting inferior steel.
• Ying Xin used Astral Qi to heat and reshape the steel she had collected, demonstrating how to turn low-grade materials into usable building supplies.
• Gongshu Jin used his Earth Shaking Arms to redirect the simulated Spirit Vein toward his construction site and strengthen his Formation.
• Ji Yuan Shu drew on the Spirit Vein with a barehanded Earth Shaking Palm and outmatched Gongshu Jin in their contest.
• Ji Yuan Shu shifted his Luck from Earth Shaking Palm to his Level 10 Concrete Gang Qi, empowering it to produce a Level 20 effect.

Zhang Yu and the other first-years finished building bunkers, which were tested against successive waves of attacks. Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker gathered nearly all the simulated Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Energy through his burial and the Way of Fortune, while Director Gao and Director Lin argued over whether finance or civil engineering represented the true path to building Kunxu.

• Zhang Yu reprocessed building materials inside his body and used Formless Warriors to build his bunker, while Ji Yuan Shu watched him work.
• After the three-hour construction period ended, proctors inspected the bunkers, and the students prepared for ten waves of attacks.
• The attacks destroyed most bunkers; Ying Xin’s blood-sacrifice bunker and Gongshu Jin’s living-sacrifice bunker survived through the fifth wave before suffering heavy damage.
• Tu Lishan discovered that Ji Yuan Shu had buried his corpse in an Auspicious Burial Site, drawing most of the simulated Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Energy into his bunker.
• Director Lin praised Ji Yuan Shu’s mastery of the Way of Fortune and argued that finance and fortune outweighed civil engineering, while Director Gao defended the Civil Engineering Righteous Path.

Zhang Yu’s bunker survived the examination’s escalating attacks far better than Ji Yuan Shu’s, despite receiving less Formation support. After the tenth wave left Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker mostly collapsed, the students inspected Zhang Yu’s construction and learned that his endurance came from relentless work and carefully chosen materials.

• The seventh and eighth waves of lightning struck both bunkers, but Ji Yuan Shu’s Formation developed a breach while Zhang Yu’s bunker remained structurally intact.
• Director Lin inspected Zhang Yu’s acceptance records and discovered extensive blast-resistant layers, seismic isolation, energy-absorbing materials, and reinforced load-bearing structures.
• Director Lin and Director Gao argued over whether Formation support or civil engineering skill would determine the winner as the ninth and tenth waves attacked.
• The tenth wave caused Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker to collapse until only its final story remained, while Zhang Yu’s bunker suffered only partial collapse to one exterior wall.
• Tu Lishan led Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, Yu Xinghan, and the other students into Zhang Yu’s bunker and showed them footage of his three-hour construction effort.
• Tu Lishan explained that Zhang Yu’s materials were the key to surviving all ten waves of attacks.

Zhang Yu’s bunker construction and victory over Ji Yuan Shu impressed the students and earned him Director Gao’s support, while the final rankings threatened Ji Yuan Shu with a backlash of fortune. The chapter ended with Ji Yuan Shu revived and anxiously awaiting the rankings, as Yu Xinghan congratulated Zhang Yu.

• Tu Lishan explained that Zhang Yu had built the bunker from materials he had refined in his body, and the students marveled at Zhang Yu’s construction and physical abilities.
• Zhang Yu recorded the onlookers’ reactions, while Director Lin and Director Gao argued over the value of money, materials, and strength.
• Director Gao saw the final rankings, decided to increase his investment in Zhang Yu, and considered making him an Unofficial Disciple and a successor to Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power.
• The medical team dug Ji Yuan Shu’s corpse out of the bunker and revived him, while students realized he had wagered one of his lives and still lost to Zhang Yu.
• Ji Yuan Shu suppressed the violent churning of his accumulated fortune as he feared a backlash if the rankings put Zhang Yu ahead of him.
• Yu Xinghan told Zhang Yu he was happy for him.

Zhang Yu learned that he had taken first place in the Foundation Establishment Class, earning new benefits and Director Gao’s acceptance as an Unofficial Disciple. Director Gao outlined Zhang Yu’s path toward learning the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering and obtaining the Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton.
