Chapter 454: Daofan Kunlun (66)
Hearing Shi Huaixu’s question, Mo Ejin explained: "Zhang Yu is our team’s secret weapon. Before facing off against another Top Ten team, we should keep his strength hidden as much as possible."
"Besides, the next match is against the team from Jinguang University—they’re coming to Wanfa for the competition."
"Likely, Jinguang University’s people have already been watching you during your match just now."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu asked curiously: "How strong is Jinguang University’s Civil Engineering Department?"
"Jinguang University…" Mo Ejin paused, then continued: "Their Alchemy Department excels at refining students’ Physical Bodies into various Spirit Artifacts. The campus trade in Physical Bodies is extremely active. The Body Refining techniques they use are perfectly compatible with their own Spirit Armor production."
"For them, the Physical Body is important—because refining it can generate income, money."
"Yet, it’s also not important, because the entire school follows a unified Body Refining standard and a unified Spirit Armor standard. Converting between Physical Bodies and Spirit Armor is effortless across the board."
Zhang Yu then asked: "What about Military-Grade Martial Arts? How many people there have mastered it?"
Mo Ejin replied: "The Military-Grade Martial Arts used by Jinguang University’s Civil Engineering Department is called Da Ri Zhu Xiang. Last year, I recall one person had achieved it."
"But that person should have graduated this year."
"So, unless I’m mistaken, none of the current students on their team have mastered it yet."
Su Yanyang, standing nearby, asked: "Mo Senior, how much longer until your injuries are fully healed?"
"Ordinary upper or lower-ranking opponents—we can handle them ourselves."
"But if the enemy is also at the Top Ten level, especially if they possess Military-Grade Power… then we really can’t do without you."
Mo Ejin sighed: "My Physical Body was tainted by demonic aura. I’m currently undergoing purification."
"It’s a process that can’t be rushed. At the very least, it’ll take two months to complete."
Hearing this, Zhang Yu’s mind stirred. That’s why Mo Ejin and the other student were severely injured, while Li Zhen remained able to fight.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: Because Li Zhen specializes in controlling demonic aura.
He turned to Li Zhen and asked: "Lì Senior, your cultivation of demonic aura martial arts—doesn’t it harm your body?"
"How could it not?" Li Zhen replied. "Just the aging process accelerates. Add in all the other occupational diseases—there’s no shortage of them."
Su Yanyang frowned. "Then why do you still specialize in it?"
Li Zhen explained: "Yes, lifespan is shortened, and total working years decrease. But your income per unit time increases dramatically. It’s like spending your old age’s time in your youth—just accelerating the payout. What’s wrong with that?"
"Besides, every construction site wears down the body. You can’t work your whole life without damage. But if you master demonic aura research, you can transition into environmental protection work later."
"Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Qi, Seventy-Two Earthly Demonic Qi—both are tied to environmental issues."
"Environment is a massive concern. The higher your cultivation, the greater your impact on the environment. As Immortal Dao Technology advances, Kunxu will inevitably place even greater emphasis on environmental governance in the future."
…
After finishing the match against Jinhe University, Zhang Yu quickly returned to Wanfa University. In the following days, he resumed his routine of studying, cultivating, and working.
Finally, by late December, Zhang Yu successfully advanced Nian Tu Cheng Jin to the 20th Level.
With all six of the Civil Engineering Seven Supreme techniques now pushed to the 20th Level, the Chain Law Diagram’s Daofan Kunlun finally completed its first layer.
Elementary - Overturn Kunlun (6/6): The effect of the destruction and change of the environment is doubled.
Civil Engineering Seven Supreme techniques amplify their effects on environmental destruction and transformation.
Staring at the effect, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered. Environmental transformation?
The next day, after arriving at the 669th Layer construction site, Zhang Yu tested the first layer’s effect through trial and error.
Whether it was basic mud and sand, half-built rebar concrete, or fully formed structures—each constituted part of the environment.
Once combined with the first layer of Daofan Kunlun, any technique Zhang Yu used—whether Xiao Sanhe or Nian Tu Cheng Jin—saw its impact and range dramatically amplified.
He gently spread his fingers. Fine metallic particles rose from the mud and sand, drawn into the air like a tiny cloud of metallic mist, swirling and shifting in his palm as he willed it.
"If Xiao Sanhe works, then Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power must work too."
"That means I can trigger even stronger, more intense changes across a wider area."
"With this, I’ll have a divine construction skill. Who in the Civil Engineering Department could build faster than me?"
Zhang Yu felt a surge of excitement. I’m about to reach the peak of the construction site. I’ll earn a wage no worker has ever dared dream of.
He mentally estimated: When that day comes, the money I earn from construction will far exceed what I make from Alchemy.
"I’ll be able to burn that construction income into Alchemy for a long time to come."
"Damn… still have to wait until January."
Though eager, Zhang Yu knew better than to rush. He calmed himself and returned to work.
"Stay focused, Zhang Yu. The more critical the moment, the more you must remain calm."
"Step by step. Keep learning, keep working, keep cultivating. Even if I master Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power, it’s only the beginning."
"My goal is the Top Ten Sects. There’s still a long way to go."
…
Time passed swiftly. The day arrived for the second match of the Civil Engineering Inter-School League.
This time, the venue was Wanfa University.
Jinguang University sent six official team members and three reserves.
At the competition entrance, Chan Rong, leading the Jinguang team, glanced at Zhang Yu and his teammates. A faint smile curled his lips.
He said: "Mo Ejin isn’t fighting? Seems his injuries are really serious."
Zhang Yu replied coolly: "You know Mo Senior?"
Chan Rong murmured: "Know him? Of course I do."
"I still remember last year’s match against Wanfa. Mo Ejin activated Seven Supreme Spirit Armors to unleash Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power—entirely flipping the Examination Hall upside down."
"A truly earth-shattering attack. I still recall one of our seniors using Da Ri Zhu Xiang to desperately resist, only to be utterly crushed and thrown out of the arena."
Zhang Yu glanced at Mo Ejin’s projection beside him and sent a private message:
You really went too hard last time, didn’t you? I can feel Jinguang University is planning revenge. They’re clearly out for blood.
Mo Ejin looked at the Jinguang team members, their eyes blazing with battle intent, and sighed:
"Honestly, I don’t even know if I’ll be able to fight this year."
"Last year, the department was bidding for a major project. Teacher Gao wanted me to make a bold display to boost our reputation."
"Otherwise, do you think I’d want to use Seven Supreme Spirit Armors to activate Tian Kunlun Shifting Mountain Divine Power? The cost is astronomical."
At that moment, Chan Rong noticed Zhang Yu glancing at Mo Ejin’s projection. He narrowed his eyes.
"Is Mo Enjin using the spiritual world to project his presence here?"
Zhang Yu froze—unsure what to say—when Chan Rong continued:
"Mo Ejin, last year, your single strike destroyed nearly all of our team’s Spirit Armor and Spirit Artifacts."
Zhang Yu’s heart dropped. Damn. We’ve really made a massive enemy here.
Chan Rong added: "Today, you’ll watch closely as I deal with your teammates."
Mo Ejin frowned at Chan Rong. "Be careful. This guy’s clearly prepared."
…
3!
2!
1!
With the match officially beginning, Chan Rong shot into the sky, his body engulfed in roaring waves of fire. He hovered above the arena like a blazing sun.
He spoke, each word deliberate:
"Mo Ejin, last year, when you defeated me, I hadn’t yet obtained my Military License."
"I was too weak in cultivation to master Da Ri Zhu Xiang back then."
"But if last year had offered a longer competition period—more time to cultivate—we would never have lost to you."
"Today, I’ll first settle your teammates. Our rematch can come next year."
With that, Chan Rong clasped his palms together. Explosive Gang Qi surged from his body, transforming into endless torrents of scorching fire that engulfed the entire arena.
At the very instant Chan Rong moved, spoke, and channeled his power, the minds of Zhang Yu’s team were flooded with Mo Ejin’s earlier briefing—about Da Ri Zhu Xiang.
Mo Ejin: "Da Ri Zhu Xiang is a martial art that condenses the Great Sun Dao Intention, fused with Great Sun Gang Qi."
"Mastered during the Foundation Establishment stage, once activated, it turns the practitioner into a living sun. Within a radius of a kilometer, temperature gradually rises—within just minutes, everything is reduced to ash."
"Beyond that, it can cause instant, explosive temperature spikes within a hundred meters."
"One glance. One gesture. A person can be set ablaze instantly."
"The smaller the volume of space heated, the faster the temperature spikes..."
Zhang Yu, Xiao Yunji, Su Yanyang, and the others reacted with lightning speed. Before Chan Rong had even finished speaking, they had all recalled every detail.
But then came the hesitation.
Our opponent has a Military-Grade Power. Should we surrender?
But if we do… should we be the first to raise our hands?
The thought flashed through Su Yanyang’s mind.
In an instant, he activated the Competition Group Chat within his Eye Armor.
Competition Group Chat:
Su Yanyang: What do we do?
Xiao Yunji: If we fight to the end, we’ll lose all our Spirit Armor—and face massive medical bills.
Li Zhen: We can’t keep fighting like this. Someone’s going to die.
Xiao Yunji: Then what do you suggest?
Watching the messages flood in, Su Yanyang cursed inwardly: Now is the time, and no one has the courage to speak up? No one with real responsibility?
