Chapter 562: Chapter 503: Civil Engineering Champion
As the competition drew to a close, Zhang Yu relocated his limbs back to himself, and Mo Enting also retrieved the Seven Extremes Magic Remains from the battlefield.
The doctor looked at Zhang Yu’s body full of wounds and asked again unwillingly, "Really don’t need treatment?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Just relocate the body parts that were just replaced by the Magic Remains back to me."
"As for the injuries sustained during the competition, you don’t have to worry about those."
Zhang Yu wasn’t willing to spend money at the doctor’s for treatment, who knows how much they would charge.
However, even without treating the injuries, the Magic Remains relocation this time posed significant challenges due to the physical differences between Mo Enting and Zhang Yu, along with urgent requirements for relocation speed and time, plus Zhang Yu’s formidable physique further heightened the difficulty of the relocation...
All these factors made the relocation cost not low at all, costing Zhang Yu nearly 8 spirit coins, directly cutting his savings from less than 10 to barely 2 spirit coins.
After all, he had spent quite a bit on upgrading his magic treasures to increase his chances of victory in battle.
And judging from the results, the money was well spent.
The Gang Qi enhanced by the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill significantly extended the time he was able to confront Xiang Shan.
Other various magic treasures, including the gold-thread jade disk, although they didn’t work directly in the confrontation with Xiang Shan, when used to support his team’s construction, they boosted efficiency and increased future company profits...
"The repair costs for the Seven Extremes Magic Remains would probably require another 5 to 10 spirit coins, right?"
Zhang Yu sighed, thinking he could only owe Mo Enting for now.
Despite spending so much money overall, at this moment, Zhang Yu felt everything was worthwhile.
As long as he wins the championship in the Civil Engineering competition, he’d secure not only the military-level armor design blueprints but also a stable opportunity to transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, which immensely broadens his future Immortal Path.
As limbs and other parts were relocated one by one, the four heads of the White Bull in Zhang Yu’s mind roared, as his revitalized blood and flesh, filled with his will, tightly bonded together, temporarily closing all the wounds across his body.
In the following moments, after a brief wait, everyone participated in the award ceremony once more.
Under the eyes of all, Zhang Yu led the Wanfa University team together onto the champion podium.
Whether it was Mo Enting, who had competed multiple times, or first-time participants like Su YangYang, everyone’s hearts were surging and could hardly conceal their excitement; it was their first time winning a championship at an intercollegiate level.
"Finally took first place," Mo Enting thought to himself, "Now upon graduation, there won’t be any regrets."
Shi Huaiyu mused, "With this credential, whether in future job applications or graduate studies, it adds a huge advantage."
Thinking of this, Shi Huaiyu felt his future life suddenly filled with sunshine.
Su Yanyang thought to himself, "If Zhang Yu remains in the Civil Engineering Department next year, then we can ride along and win another round...what a pity."
Meanwhile, Soul Cultivators in the Spirit Realm also looked on excitedly at this scene.
Zhao Tianxing reflected, "I never thought this day would come."
Mo Tianyi exclaimed excitedly beside him, "Although we’re just junior college students, our achievements today are unmatched by most of the top ten students."
Several elders of Ying Xin’s family gathered, laughing, "Unexpectedly, the intercollegiate championship we dared not even dream of when alive, we actually got a piece of it after passing away."
Che Yufei gazed longingly towards the podium, snapping several photos, thinking about printing himself into them later.
At this moment, Zhang Yu’s eye sockets scanned the Spirit Realm, seemingly noting the attention of the Soul Cultivators, and said to them, "Why don’t you come join us too."
Zhao Tianxing exclaimed in surprise, "Us...us?"
Zhang Yu chuckled, "Didn’t you all also participate in the competition? Join us for the awards and photos."
Zhao Tianxing hadn’t yet reacted when Grandfather Yingxin already flashed behind Zhang Yu, followed by Che Yufei crowding at his side.
The Soul Cultivators flocked behind the Wanfa University team, instantly making the podium appear packed, as if completely filled.
Hu Yuntao hesitated for a moment but finally stepped up.
"Damn it, let’s fight; I’m not staying at Sky Demon University anyway."
Seeing countless Demon descendants surrounding both the scene and Spirit Realm, Hu Yuntao felt as if he’d never been so dazzling.
Zhao Tianxing quickly spent spirit coins to increase his pixel resolution and enlarged the font of his name over his head, trying to appear clearer in the group photo.
At the same time, only one thought occupied his mind, "As soon as I get the group photo, I’m posting it on social media!"
...
On the other end of the Spirit Realm Network, Xiong Wenwu stared at this scene in mild surprise, "That guy Hu Yuntao..."
A fellow Bear Demon beside him asked, "Why are you smiling?"
Xiong Wenwu remarked, "My friend from high school won the competition championship."
The Bear Demon next to him was about to ask further but was already summoned out by the boss, and alongside Xiong Wenwu, they carried the owner to begin work.
...
Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch glanced at the Wanfa University team on stage and the Soul Cultivators behind them, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It was his first time witnessing someone bring Soul Cultivators up for award and photo together.
Shaking his head, Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch proceeded to award them.
He looked at Zhang Yu before him and calmly said, "Unexpectedly, the student who hadn’t even acquired a military certificate six months ago has now become the strongest Civil Engineering student in just half a year."
Zhang Yu modestly replied, "True Monarch, you’re exaggerating."
At the same time, the arena echoed with boos, and numerous demon descendants spewed filth laden with intense demon aura, directly hurling it towards Zhang Yu and his companions.
Evidently, quite a number of demon descendants were extremely dissatisfied with Wanfa University.
But this filth was merely trivial, naturally unable to hit the people of Wanfa University, and was easily blocked.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Phenomenon True Monarch also sent the design blueprint of the military-grade armor Jade Water Gold Crystal Armor, along with usage rights, to Wanfa University and the team members present.
With this blueprint and usage rights, Wanfa University’s officials could craft and research the Jade Water Gold Crystal Armor.
The team members could also ask for help to craft this military-grade armor.
Of course, to use military-grade armor, a military certificate is required.
But obtaining this blueprint, Wanfa University would naturally give them additional rewards internally.
Zhang Yu couldn’t wait and glanced at the blueprint, thinking that when he transfers to the Artifact Refining Department later, he must thoroughly study this blueprint to understand why the Jade Water Gold Crystal Armor was included in the Chain Technique Map set.
Meanwhile, standing alone at the runner-up podium was the solitary figure of Xiang Shan.
Simultaneously, countless flashing messages were visible in his eyes.
"Why don’t you just drop dead?"
"Return the money!"
"If I were you, I’d just quit school!"
Spirit Realm Network at Sky Demon University had numerous demon descendants insulting and abusing Xiang Shan.
Spectators looked at him with eyes full of anger.
His teammates, disappointed, demanded the costs for resurrecting their bodies.
His kin silently left one by one, heading back to work overtime to make up for the losses during this period.
Although the scene was crowded, Xiang Shan only felt an unprecedented loneliness at that moment.
The extent to which he commanded the winds and rains on the field just a moment ago, with numerous demon followers, was now the extent of his desolation and the hatred he faced.
...
With the end of the award ceremony, the people of Wanfa University embarked on their journey home.
While still on the Flying Boat, word had already reached Wanfa, and the team members immediately received numerous congratulations from classmates and teachers.
And when everyone traveled thousands of kilometers and finally returned to Wanfa.
As they disembarked from the Flying Boat... they were pulled to a banquet.
Before even entering the banquet hall, a rich aroma of food and meat wafted over, stimulating everyone’s appetites.
Upon entering the banquet hall, they saw congratulations written in the air everywhere for Wanfa University’s Civil Engineering Department winning this year’s championship.
Apart from congratulations from departments like Security, Pharmacology, and Artifact Refining, Zhang Yu even saw messages from several vice principals.
Mo Enting smiled beside him: "After all, we haven’t won a championship in so many years. Now that we’ve achieved results, the teachers plan to hold a banquet to celebrate."
Shi Huaiyu also smiled: "After all, it’s the first major achievement since Director Gao took charge of the Civil Engineering Department’s work."
As Zhang Yu and the others walked into the venue, numerous eyes turned towards them.
He saw among them Ma Xuan, Gongshu Jin as Civil Engineering students, Feng Tingting as a transferee from the Artifact Refining Department, and high-achieving students from the Artifact Refining Department like Yan Qianji and Ye Xingli.
Besides them were teachers from the Civil Engineering Department like Tu Lishan and Lang You Gong, as well as quite a few other department teachers and professors who were also invited.
Zhang Yu even saw the Teaching Vice Principal, Magnetic Pole True Monarch, making an appearance through a Spirit Realm projection, happily conversing with Director Gao.
Feeling everyone’s gazes, the team members were initially nervous, then one by one stood tall and confident.
Someone started clapping, and soon everyone in the banquet hall was applauding.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This is really a grand affair."
Spotting Magnetic Pole True Monarch in the crowd, Zhang Yu quickly sent a message: Professor, is everything okay?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Before you leave, let Old Gao have his moment of glory.
Zhang Yu: During the competition earlier, to boost morale, I revealed my transfer to another department...
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: It’s alright.
Elsewhere, the Teaching Vice Principal, Magnetic Pole True Monarch, looked at Director Gao beside him, smiled: "Old Gao, the Civil Engineering department is developing well under your leadership."
Director Gao smiled and said: "It’s all thanks to the guidance of the school leaders and the students’ hard work."
The Teaching Vice Principal added: "Let me know if you encounter any difficulties in the future."
Director Gao smiled and said: "The Civil Engineering Department still needs to enhance talent cultivation..."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch thought to himself: "With Zhang Yu transferring departments and Mo Enting graduating soon, the Civil Engineering Department’s performance might decline significantly. It definitely needs to increase its reserve talent training."
Director Gao waved to Zhang Yu and said to the Teaching Vice Principal beside him: "This kid has contributed a lot this year, and he has talent. Please look after him in the future, Principal."
The Teaching Vice Principal was slightly surprised and thought: "Zhang Yu is about to transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, yet you’re asking me to take care of him? You should first take care of the Civil Engineering Department’s own matters."
