Chapter 398: The Loser, the Second Supreme
Luxurious dormitory.
Since losing the competition and having a heated argument with Ma Xuan and the others, Ji Yuanchi’s mood had plummeted. The coldness from his master, Director Lin, only deepened his sense of abandonment.
When he learned that Zhang Yu’s team had defeated Su Yanyang once again, he muttered to himself: Of course it happened this way.
Further conversations with Gong Shuijin only confirmed his suspicions.
“It was the War Faction’s setup. They poured in massive resources, orchestrating Zhang Yu’s victories over both me and Su Yanyang.”
“Still, good news—Su Yanyang lost too.”
Ji Yuanchi felt a strange comfort in Su Yanyang’s defeat. It made his own loss seem less significant.
“Master must understand—this loss isn’t my fault.”
“But now that I’m suffering from Qi Yun backlash, he probably won’t invest much more in me.”
Thinking this, Ji Yuanchi sensed the two Qi Yun credit cards circulating in his mind.
“Dual cards, dual loans—this at least got me through the Qi Yun backlash.”
“From now on… I’ll have to rely only on myself and fight the War Faction head-on.”
…
On the 667th floor construction site.
Su Yanyang, still working, turned and saw Ma Xuan standing nearby.
Ma Xuan grinned. “Watch closely. Learn how you’re supposed to handle the Civil Engineering Competition.”
Su Yanyang’s face darkened. He turned away coldly. “If it weren’t for my subpar teammates, the Soul Cultivator slacking off, and the opponent being secretly guided by a high-level mentor, I wouldn’t have lost.”
Ma Xuan nodded. “I know. I understand.”
“Brother, you really missed out this time.”
“If you’d placed seventh, you’d have gathered enough points for Seven Supreme. Next semester, you could’ve qualified for the Military License—and then cultivated the Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power.”
Su Yanyang glanced at Ma Xuan, recalling that the other had also lost to Zhang Yu. He sighed. “I just… fell short by one move.”
“Probably the War Faction saw me as a threat. That’s why they went to such lengths to eliminate me.”
“Their real target was me. You all were just collateral.”
Ma Xuan asked again: “So, are you still planning to take the Military License next year?”
Su Yanyang replied calmly: “Of course. There’s only so many chances. I won’t give up easily.”
After a few more words, Ma Xuan said: “I kicked Ji Yuanchi out.”
“You’re now teamless.”
“How about joining us next year’s competition?”
Su Yanyang shook his head. “Let’s talk about it next year. Right now, I don’t want to think about competitions.”
…
Youming University.
Wang Yin’s mind was fully immersed in the Dizhe Huangxin cultivation technique, his Dao Heart as solid as stone.
Recalling Zhang Yu’s recent trials, he dismissed them as mere ripples in the wind.
“No… Zhang Yu deceiving me last time? That might’ve been a blessing in disguise.”
“Just a tiny flaw in Lingbi—yet it exposed the weakness in my technique. It forced me to confront the flaw in my Dao Heart. That’s how I reached this level of Tempering.”
“Otherwise, with such a glaring flaw in my cultivation, if I ever lost to a peer, I’d never recover.”
Wang Yin silently reflected: In fact, this Tempering has sealed every gap in my technique. My future path is now clear and smooth.
“Zhang Yu… I should not hate you. I should thank you.”
“You have no idea how much you’ve helped me. Nor do you realize the monstrous opponent you’ve forged for yourself.”
Beside him, his mother sensed his mental state and gave a slight nod. “Good. You’ve clearly shifted your mindset. You’ve broken through your inner barrier.”
Wang Yin smiled faintly. “The key to Dizhe Huangxin isn’t avoiding failure. It’s facing it without fear.”
“From this moment forward, every failure will become nourishment—feeding my Dao Heart. It will no longer disrupt my cultivation.”
“Now, I command the technique. Not the other way around.”
She nodded. “What if you face Zhang Yu again?”
Wang Yin replied coolly: “That kind of insignificant creature? He’s nothing more than a blade in someone else’s hand. Unless absolutely necessary, I have no interest in dealing with him.”
She smiled slightly. “Good. Then let me test your Dao Heart one more time.”
She raised her hand. Instantly, a Light Screen materialized before them.
Wang Yin frowned. “What’s this?”
She said simply: “Footage from the Wanfa University Civil Engineering Department competition. Zhang Yu participated.”
“Now watch… the other side of Zhang Yu—something you’ve never seen.”
Hearing Zhang Yu’s name, Wang Yin remained expressionless, as if untouched by emotion.
But as the video accelerated, showing Zhang Yu’s first-half battle with Su Yanyang, his brows slowly furrowed.
He turned, forcing a smile. “Mom, what’s so interesting about a competition?”
She coldly insisted: “Keep watching. Open your eyes. Look closely at Zhang Yu—really look.”
Reluctantly, Wang Yin continued to the second half.
When it ended, he finally asked: “What was Zhang Yu’s final result?”
She replied calmly: “Seventh place in the Civil Engineering Department. He was awarded the Wanfa University Civil Engineering Seven Supreme.”
She explained the concept of the Seven Supreme, then added: “Now, Zhang Yu has been formally accepted as a Named Disciple by Qingmu Immortal of the Civil Engineering Department.”
“Clearly, he’s being groomed for the future.”
She watched his reaction and continued: “In a few years, he might even qualify for the Military License and master the Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power.”
Seeing Wang Yin’s breath quicken, she sighed. “It seems you haven’t truly closed the gap in your heart.”
Wang Yin forced a laugh. “Mom, I just need time to adjust.”
“The stronger Zhang Yu gets, the more effective he is for my Dao Heart Tempering. It’s a benefit.”
“The more he wins, the more I grow stronger.”
She shook her head and sent the video to him. “You’ve disappointed me.”
“Use your time wisely. Watch it again and again.”
“Only when you can watch this with a mind as still as a dead pool—no emotion, no reaction—will I know you’ve truly healed the flaw within.”
…
The day after the Civil Engineering Competition rewards were distributed.
Zhang Yu arrived at Director Gao’s designated Simulation Construction Site with quiet anticipation.
Seeing Zhang Yu arrive, Director Gao said flatly: “Today, I’ll teach you the Second Supreme of the Civil Engineering Seven Supreme—Da Huan Yishan Jin.”
“This technique forms the foundation of power in the Seven Supreme. It combines the body with Gang Qi, mimicking the forces of natural disasters. Each movement is devastating—useful not only for construction, but also for forging Physical Strength Level.”
As he spoke, Director Gao struck forward with a punch. A colorless wave of Gang Qi erupted, visible to the eye, shaking the ground like an earthquake.
Then, he slammed his palm down. Rolling waves of Gang Qi surged like collapsing mountains and shattered cliffs, transforming the land into layer after layer of sand—turning the site into a desert-like wasteland.
“Earthquakes, landslides, mudflows, rock bursts, desertification—each movement of Da Huan Yishan Jin can reshape the terrain.”
“And if combined with the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal? The power multiplies tenfold.”
As Director Gao explained, Zhang Yu grew increasingly aware of the technique’s true might.
This technique generates a mountain-moving Gang Qi—like a wave of seismic shock. It’s not just devastating in power, but it actually triggers real ground tremors.
If the force is strong enough, it can cause earthquakes, landslides, mudflows, even desertification.
Zhang Yu recalled how Shi Huaixu, Ma Xuan, Su Yanyang, and others had used Xiao Sanhe during the competition.
That’s why their Xiao Sanhe could shift terrain, manipulate mud and sand, and create disaster-like destruction. The Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal and Da Huan Yishan Jin are the reason.
After finishing his explanation, Director Gao watched Zhang Yu’s practice with quiet anticipation.
Last time, the kid mastered Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal in one hour and fifteen minutes.
How long this time?
Zhang Yu, having already consulted Shi Huaixu beforehand, began his practice.
Shi Huaixu had once spent three days mastering Da Huan Yishan Jin.
According to him, the fastest ever in the department’s history took just over half an hour.
Forty-eight minutes passed.
Zhang Yu repeated the movements again and again, his form improving steadily—from clumsy beginnings to refined mastery.
After all, the cultivation memory of Da Huan Yishan Jin was still fresh in his mind. Repeating it was natural, effortless.
Director Gao watched, nodding in approval.
Each repetition showed visible progress—astonishing talent on full display.
When the forty-eighth minute ended, Zhang Yu delivered a final punch, splitting the ground before him.
Director Gao stared, stunned.
Forty-eight minutes… mastered?
The only faster records I’ve seen… were fakes, staged for publicity.
This kid’s talent… truly extraordinary.
Zhang Yu looked up. “Teacher, I’ve mastered it.”
Director Gao nodded. “The department’s current situation is tense. Someone might target you at any moment. From now on, don’t mention your progress to anyone.”
After Zhang Yu nodded, Director Gao continued: “Now, let me explain the plan for your future Military License exam.”
