Chapter 561: Chapter 502: The Strongest Civil Engineering Student
Xiao Qingxuan carried with him strands of dragon-shaped Gang Qi, transforming himself into worker after worker, completing the steel and concrete inside the building one by one.
The ashes of the winning ancestors that had accumulated over time were scattered within, covering every corner of the floating island.
Shi Huaiyu angrily shouted, "Su YanYang! Move faster!"
...
On the battlefield, in Xiang Shan’s perception, Zhang Yu’s Gang Qi grew weaker and weaker.
At the same time, the Soul Cultivators in the Spirit Realm surged forward, about to paralyze Zhang Yu’s Seven Extremes Magic Remains.
Sensing all this, Xiang Shan coldly said, "It’s time to end."
But just at that moment, he abruptly lifted his head to see a massive floating island soaring into the sky, hurtling towards his location.
Xiang Shan’s gaze tightened: "Floating Island? Anti-gravity Array? This scale... I see, Zhang Yu was assisting the construction remotely while fighting me?"
"No wonder this guy spent most of the time taking hits without countering."
Simultaneously, the floating island, like a force that could bring heaven crashing down, was already crashing towards Xiang Shan.
Xiang Shan wanted to dodge but felt a gravitational force pulling him tightly.
"You!" In Xiang Shan’s surprised gaze, Zhang Yu released the accumulated Eternal Damnation Abyss at the last moment when the Seven Extremes Magic Remains were paralyzed, temporarily controlling Xiang Shan’s form.
With a loud boom, the entire sky floated island had already crashed down.
When Xiang Shan broke free from the Eternal Damnation Abyss, he was already being continuously pressed deeper underground.
With a roar, he exerted force with his arms, wanting to tear apart the floating island in front of him, but felt the astonishing hardness emanating from within.
The floating island pressing down on him felt like multiple layers of armored structures constantly stacking, far surpassing the solidity of different earth and stones.
Xiang Shan frowned: "Excessive construction, with multiple protective arrays reinforced, and... some kind of ashes? Blood sacrifice?"
Despite his exertion, only a small part of the structure in front of him broke, making him like a needle, piercing into the floating island’s interior.
With a shout, he spread his arms, forcefully destroying layer after layer of structures in front of him.
Meanwhile, the Soul Cultivators had returned, reporting the battle results.
"The Seven Extremes Magic Remains have been paralyzed."
"But that Zhang Yu willingly abandoned the remains."
...
Above the floating island, the Ten Thousand Laws Team exerted their force together, continuously pouring layers of steel and concrete, Spirit Veins were connected through the power of Small Three Harmonies...
Su YanYang sensed the situation below and was astonished: "It’s too fast! Xiang Shan broke through too fast! We can’t hold him..."
Smack!
Shi Huaiyu slapped Su YanYang’s head and angrily said, "Stop your damn nonsense! Where’s your past fighting spirit? Hold on for me!"
Su YanYang took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and clasped his hands, causing the ground underfoot to surge rapidly under the Small Three Harmonies power, enveloping layers of steel and concrete, beginning to shape.
"Faster! Faster!" Xiao Yun Ji’s figure darted, swiftly transporting materials to various parts inside the floating island.
Xiao Qingxuan frowned deeply, sensing Xiang Shan advancing within the floating island, the breakthrough speed far exceeding their construction speed.
Just as everyone was tense and anxious, the sky suddenly darkened.
They saw Zhang Yu using golden Gang Qi as temporary limbs, holding massive amounts of earth and stones, along with piles for support, and bringing them over.
"After Zhang Yu departed from the Seven Extremes Magic Remains..." Su YanYang’s eyes brightened: "Went to move earth, various materials, and living piles from Sky Demon University?"
With Zhang Yu’s transport support, along with the insertion of piles into the ground, the whole construction site’s efficiency and quality soared dramatically.
Xiang Shan trapped in the floating island—or floating mountain—began to sense something amiss.
The entire mountain body became increasingly hard and heavy.
Yet he had broken through hundreds of meters, and still hadn’t reached the end...
"I can’t! I mustn’t be trapped here!"
Xiang Shan roared furiously, mustering all his strength to break through again.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized... that his military-level Magic Remains was of no assistance in demolition work.
Meanwhile, the site above grew increasingly intense.
"Steel comes!" Xiao Qingxuan shouted, inserting large amounts of steel into modules.
Under complete operation of Su YanYang’s Magic Remains, cement burst like a mountain flood, enveloping countless steel rods.
"Hold on! He’s slowing down!" Shi Huaiyu excitedly adjusted the Spirit Veins, constantly adjusting the support of the mountain’s external structure with internal destruction.
In the sky, the entire competition site’s earth and stones flew over, under Zhang Yu’s Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power... either turning into materials to fall into the site or rapidly filling the mountain body visibly.
Xiang Shan just felt the weight pressing down growing heavier and his movements slowing down.
His military-grade skin Magic Remains couldn’t increase his current demolition efficiency, instead, it was rapidly consuming his mana every moment.
At this moment, a sudden realization struck him: "In terms of direct combat power, I’m above them. It’s simple reasoning, like the most basic math problem... two military-grade powers are greater than one military-grade power."
"But compared to construction efficiency, like this current adaptation of the mountain body..."
Xiang Shan’s face looked grim, eyes full of unwillingness: "I might actually be inferior to them? The Calamity Stream Ming King Type Four isn’t meant for construction, but combat Magic Remains... absorbing power, resisting the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, none of this helps my mountain demolition... am I..."
"Impossible!" Xiang Shan roared furiously: "I’ve sacrificed so much? How could I fall here? How would I fall here!"
The mountain surged, under both forces, internally crumbling while externally filling and reinforcing.
When the light appeared in front, Xiang Shan’s hand felt empty, realizing he finally broke through the entire mountain body, reaching the outside world.
But before he could smile, the notification of the competition’s end had already appeared in his Magic Remains.
Competition Ended
Wanfa University completion rate 43%
Sky Demon University completion rate 0%
Just before the competition ended, Zhang Yu used Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power to move the construction on site to the designated location, gaining a definite upper hand in completion rate.
While the Sky Demon University’s site had long been destroyed during his material transportation.
Xiang Shan was slightly stunned, then watched the Wanfa students in front of him cheering and hugging each other.
All around, the piles created by the demon clan stood quietly on the ground as they have for countless years.
Threads of unwillingness welled up in Xiang Shan’s heart, eyes fixed sharply at Zhang Yu in front of him.
He sacrificed his teammates, sacrificed his clan, and now could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yu stepped onto the champion’s podium with his companions.
Facing Xiang Shan’s gaze, Zhang Yu silently thought: "Xiang Shan... you may indeed have reasons to be invincible, even sacrificing companions to succeed."
"But I too cannot betray the trust of my employees and teammates; I want to lead them onward."
Fu Ji smiled and said, "Kunxu is like this, gathering all who are desperate together, then the strong lose, the stronger win. Isn’t this what these demon clans believe in, the survival of the fittest?"
In the Spirit Realm audience, Director Gao watched this scene and said calmly, "Xiang Shan already strayed from the righteous path of Civil Engineering, relying on a military-level Magic Remains to boost combat power. Even if he can break through Civil Engineering and enter the school team... what does it have to do with Civil Engineering? With construction?"
"Can’t the other departments wear your military-grade Magic Remains after licensing exams?"
Director Gao then looked at Zhang Yu, nodding with satisfaction, "Zhang Yu, you have already mastered the essence of Civil Engineering, can be called the current... strongest Civil Engineering student."
Mo Enting messaged Zhang Yu, asking: Where’s my Seven Extremes Magic Remains?
