Chapter 553: Chapter 495: Reimbursement and Preparing to Transfer Departments
Power core temperature too high...
Left arm third joint vibrating, joint fracture...
Spiritual mechanism circuit short circuit alert...
Seeing the warning messages continuously pop up in front of him, Wan Gouxuan understood that the Earth Rising God had suffered significant damage during the recent clash with Zhang Yu.
Meanwhile, below the statistics, the estimated repair cost was listed: 18.23 spirit coins.
Under normal circumstances, Wan Gouxuan would probably be considering how to surrender gracefully, as continuing the battle would cause repair costs to escalate, making it truly not worth it.
But at this moment, with the full reimbursement status, he was fearless.
In fact, seeing the estimated repair costs continue to rise, his fighting spirit was becoming more and more invigorated, wanting only to keep fighting with fervor!
"Again!"
Once more channeling full power into Earth Rising God, Wan Gouxuan recalled Zhang Yu’s astonishing strike just moments ago.
"Even Earth Rising God got damaged, I don’t believe your physical body is unharmed."
"How many more times can you use that kind of attack?"
With a loud shout, the power core of Earth Rising God started to operate fiercely, spewing layers of Gang Qi that continuously repaired the Gen Meridian Dharma Aspect, unleashing another earth-shattering blow.
"I can still perform that attack eight more times."
Zhang Yu pondered: "Using my own Gang Qi and physical body to harness and unleash the mighty and domineering power of Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting, to release the power of the dual Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power in one move... With my strength, after three full-power moves, my physical state starts to decline, and damage will continue to accumulate."
"After six times, the power unleashed begins to decrease significantly."
"After nine times, that’s the limit."
As Zhang Yu contemplated, the Mountain Shifting God General let out a long howl.
In the next moment, the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power erupted suddenly, and the surging Earth Evil Gravity targeted him, converging towards him.
Instantly, as the atmosphere was continuously compressed, waves of air burst from his body as the center, spreading in all directions.
Amidst the surging airwaves, Zhang Yu held a black and a white star in his hands as he once again struck towards the Earth Rising God in front of him.
In the rolling and tumultuous battle, both sides fought fiercely six more times.
The Mountain Shifting Warrior continuously shattered and shrank, in the blink of an eye reduced to less than half of its original size.
And Earth Rising God crashed to the ground with a thud, its body bursting with extensive damage, no longer capable of fighting.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu said calmly, "It’s over."
During the repeated clashes just now, introductions about various functions and structures of Earth Rising God flashed continuously in Zhang Yu’s mind.
Several weaknesses about the spiritual mechanism circuitry and vibrating joints coincided with the severely damaged parts of Earth Rising God before him.
All this was due to his practice of the Treasure Appraisal Art.
In the repeated clashes just now, aside from pushing his physical strength, Gang Qi, and power to the limit, the most important point for Zhang Yu was using the Treasure Appraisal Art to lock onto attack targets, attempting to cause maximum destruction.
Wan Gouxuan looked at Zhang Yu, who was looking down from above in midair.
Looking at the opponent with his five fingers spread open, the surging Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power congregated once more.
"He actually single-handedly defeated my Earth Rising God."
Wan Gouxuan sighed in his heart: "This guy... has he really been practicing the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power for just a few months?"
At this moment, Wan Gouxuan planned to pause the competition and request support.
According to prior arrangements, if caught in a pincer attack by Mo Enting, he must do so.
But at this very moment, Wan Gouxuan realized that merely the Zhang Yu in front was already unbeatable.
After applying for a match pause, the Artifact Refining Department student originally responsible for support said, "Forget it, don’t waste money."
"Even if I temporarily repair and strengthen the Earth Rising God for you, you might not be able to defeat this Zhang Yu, let alone Mo Enting is also there."
The opponent shook his head and said, "I also need to prepare for this year’s top ten league, I won’t waste time with you."
Without the support, Wan Gouxuan understood that the outcome of this round had been decided.
Sure enough, once the pause ended and the match resumed, Immortal Soldier University suffered a crushing defeat; not only was Earth Rising God completely dismantled, but all team members conceded one by one.
The Wanfa University team members cheered as they left the arena.
Director Gao in the audience smiled and nodded, thinking: "The next match is the final against Sky Demon University."
At the same time, Director Gao realized that this final was not only very important to Zhang Yu but also very important to himself.
If they win this battle, it will be the first achievement of his tenure as head of the Civil Engineering Department.
Thinking of this, he again looked at the Magnetic Pole True Monarch beside him and said, "Magnetic Pole, thank you. Without your help, Zhang Yu wouldn’t have grown so fast."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch opened her mouth: "Old Gao, actually..."
Director Gao: "Hmm?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: "Nothing."
In her heart, she thought, "Let’s wait until the Civil Engineering finals are over to talk about it."
"After the Civil Engineering finals, Zhang Yu’s comprehensive score will be enough, directly arranging for Zhang Yu to switch departments so as to avoid any prolonged dreams."
Looking at Director Gao in front of her, Magnetic Pole True Monarch thought privately: "Old Gao, don’t blame me. A talented disciple like Zhang Yu belongs only to the strong in Kunxu. Blame it on not being strong enough, not having enough money."
At this moment, Qian Kui True Monarch from Immortal Soldier University said, "Magnetic Pole, judging from this student’s performance, your cracking work has been quite impressive, you’ll make a fortune this time. If you’re willing to trade the technology for market access in Immortal Soldier University, we could talk."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch said blandly: "Not interested for now."
Qian Kui True Monarch smiled slightly and said: "I’ve heard that Qiongjiang Divine Monarch is connecting with everyone, trying to press Wanfa University for sanctions against your Artifact Refining Department. If you’re interested in collaboration, you can find me anytime."
"So, see you at the Ten Great Leagues. This time, quite a few people are expecting surprises from your Wanfa University."
Director Gao, hearing this on the side, furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "This project is becoming more famous, fearing that it will make Wanfa the eye of the storm and also gradually turn the Magnetic Pole into the target of all."
Although Director Gao believes that the intensity of university wars will inevitably escalate, the Ten Greats will eventually take the field in the future.
But he does not wish for Wanfa to be the first to take the field, nor for the Magnetic Pole to become the trigger.
...
On the other side, when Zhang Yu was leaving the venue, he noticed that Wan Gouxuan and others looked calm and even slightly joyful and excited, not at all like they lost the match and had their giant puppet dismantled.
Zhang Yu’s feeling was not wrong. Although Wan Gouxuan lost, he did not feel heartache like last year.
After all, although this battle was lost, at most they could only collect some of Zhang Yu’s sweat from the field... but it’s still reimbursed, and puppet parts can be replaced with new ones.
After the competition, Wan Gouxuan went to the already agreed Jihu Company, looking at the list of parts to be replaced one by one, thought to himself: "Is everything being replaced with Jihu brand?"
"The prices seem to have increased tenfold or more."
"Sure enough, this reimbursement was also because the school purchased at a high price from Jihu brand, deliberately letting Jihu brand profit."
Wan Gouxuan certainly had no objections, as he didn’t have to pay, and the Earth Surging God could undergo a complete update, and its power would certainly be elevated.
He even suspected that compared to Zhang Yu’s material collection, maybe this high-priced procurement from Jihu... is actually more important to some people.
Looking at various latest and high-end Jihu brand parts being used, Wan Gouxuan felt the spirit of Immortal Soldier University was also injected into them.
The teacher on the side said: "Next competition, you use this pureblood Jihu’s Earth Surging God, let all universities change their perception of Jihu."
Wan Gouxuan nodded, thought to himself: "Zhang Yu, next year we’ll fight again, I..."
Upon thinking this, Wan Gouxuan suddenly frowned, although the Earth Surging God became stronger, if there is no reimbursement next year, his combat power might be less than today.
He sighed inwardly: "Sigh, Wanfa’s Civil Engineering Department... might not have the possibility of victory in the coming years."
...
On his way back, Zhang Yu received messages from Director Gao and the Magnetic Pole.
Director Gao: In the next battle, Mo Enting will participate with you
Director Gao: You two should cooperate well and strive to win the championship of the finals
Director Gao: But if it really can’t be done, don’t force it. Sky Demon University has always been strong in this aspect; ensuring your potential is the most important
Director Gao, as usual, encouraged him a bit, telling him not to be complacent, to continue working hard and strive for a good performance in the finals. Then he also cared a bit about Zhang Yu’s recent work and life.
Director Gao: I’ve heard your company is doing well, I’ll have Tu Lishan arrange some more work for you in a couple of days
Director Gao: Next week, accompany me to meet other Civil Engineering professors, I’ll introduce you more people
Director Gao: The future of the Civil Engineering Department depends on you young people
Director Gao: Not only do you have to be able to work on site, but you also need connections
Director Gao: Also, remember to apply for this year’s Civil Engineering Department model student, I’ve already put in a word for you
Zhang Yu could tell, Director Gao was indeed treating him like a true heir. Whether he won the final championship or not, he would teach him the experience of navigating the Civil Engineering World hand in hand.
On the other side, the message from Magnetic Pole True Monarch was more straightforward.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: If you win the next final, then get ready to transfer departments directly
Zhang Yu: Switching departments just after winning the championship? Isn’t that too hasty?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: What? Reluctant to leave your Civil Engineering Department?
Zhang Yu: No, I’m just worried that Director Gao might have a hard time letting go
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: A qualified teacher won’t stop students from going to better platforms
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: And your current priority is to ensure victory in the next match
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Although it’s just the Civil Engineering Department, Sky Demon University’s Civil Engineering Department has always been strong
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You don’t need to think much about the teacher’s matters, focus on your own strength and in the remaining time, do your best to improve yourself
...
Wanda University.
In the dormitory.
"Are you injured?"
Le Mulan handed a potion to Zhang Yu, the potion had no packaging, just a simple glass bottle.
She said somewhat awkwardly: "This is... a potion I made, would you like to try it?"
Le Mulan was not sure how high Zhang Yu’s income was currently, only knowing it was very high.
She only hoped that her most precious potion could, as before, help Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu took the potion and smiled slightly: "Thanks."
Seeing the upcoming battle against Sky Demon University next week, Zhang Yu did not waste time resting, he slightly sorted and maintained his magic treasure, then began his usual practice and work.
In this last week, he must try his best to improve himself.
Recalling three years of high school, then nearly three years of university struggle, now about to transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, one step closer to entering the Ten Great Sects, he cannot allow any mistakes at this final moment.
