Chapter 443: Chapter 388 Director Gao’s Help
Lift the bunker, this is one of the methods Zhang Yu and others discussed.
When faced with an irresistible offensive, everyone moves the bunker together, trying to avoid attacks that cannot be withstood directly.
Fortunately, with the previous multiple reinforcements, although a few cracks appeared on the bunker’s walls, the main structure remained intact.
“Go!” Xiao Qingxuan roared, nine dragon-shaped Gang Qi swirling, bombarding the mudslide while leading everyone to the place that hadn’t collapsed.
But soon, as the mana was severely depleted, having to carry the bunker while resisting the mudslide made Tian Yang unable to hold on. He contracted his body and jumped back into the bunker.
A few seconds later, Shi Yunxiang also couldn’t hold on, similarly contracted his form, and jumped inside the bunker.
With the successive retreat of the two, the entire bunker suddenly sank, supported by the Gang Qi unleashed by the remaining three separately.
Shi Huaiyu looked at the surrounding rolling muddy flow and the constantly collapsing ground, and said with a gloomy face, “We can’t hold on.”
She knew that once the bunker fell from their hands, it would likely be completely destroyed along with the mudslide and the collapsing earth.
“Hold on!” Zhang Yu shouted, “Shi Huaiyu! Stop worrying about the bottom, go up and reduce the weight!”
“Xiao Qingxuan!” Zhang Yu turned to look at Xiao Qingxuan, seriously saying, “You go up and help me too!”
Shi Huaiyu contracted her body, jumped onto the bunker, fully concentrated to condense strands of Mysterious Yellow Qi, infusing it into the bunker, continuously reducing the bunker’s weight.
On the other side, Xiao Qingxuan contracted his body and jumped onto Zhang Yu’s shoulder, placing a hand on Zhang Yu’s shoulder, where strands of Five Elements True Qi were infused, fully treating Zhang Yu’s injuries.
Just as he probed the other’s body, he couldn’t help but frown secretly. Under the blessing of explosive cultivation techniques, Zhang Yu’s internal organs seemed riddled with wounds in Xiao Qingxuan’s eyes, making him sigh at how Zhang Yu held on till now.
Zhang Yu turned into a giant at the moment, one hand holding up the bunker, the other blasting heavy waves of air, moving against the rolling muddy flow, protecting the bunker in this collapse of heaven and earth.
The sight stirred excitement in everyone’s hearts.
Seeing Zhang Yu covered in blood, desperately sheltering the bunker in the rolling reverse flow, Shi Huaiyu glanced at the distant Su YanYang, and gritted her teeth, “Damn it! Let’s fight!”
Only to see Shi Huaiyu fiercely patting her own Ghost Kidney, saying, “Use overload mode! Refine the kidney essence into mana.”
The Soul Cultivator in the kidney said, “Doing this… My kidney will age quickly, with a high depreciation rate.”
Shi Huaiyu said, “I said do it, so do it.”
The next moment, as her mana rapidly recovered, Shi Huaiyu frantically extracted more Mysterious Yellow Qi, further reducing the bunker’s weight.
On the other side, Shi Yunxiang extended his arm in front of Zhang Yu, “Have a few sips of my blood.”
Seeing the serious look on the lion-faced man, Zhang Yu didn’t hesitate and bit down, gargling a large mouthful of demon blood into his mouth.
Zhang Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, feeling as though he had consumed liquid heavenly essence rice, with a large amount of essence entering his body, replenishing his stamina and boosting cellular activation.
At the same time, Zhang Yu saw the competition group information floating before his eyes.
Ying Xin: [1 spirit coin] Cheer up, Senior Brother, this is to aid your medical expenses
Gongshu Jin: [1 spirit coin] Cheer up!
Yu Xinghan: [1 spirit coin] Take it and fight
Looking at this scene, Zhang Yu smiled slightly, and with a roar, he repelled the rolling muddy flow around several meters.
But just moments later, a mud wave more than ten meters high with the force of a mountain crashing down came head-on.
Boom!
Watching as the bunker and Zhang Yu’s group of six were swallowed by the mudslide, Su YanYang said lightly, “A pointless struggle.”
He looked at the remaining wave after wave of muddy flow crashing, and the tremors continued until the end of the competition.
Inwardly, Su YanYang calculated, “If in the early to mid-phase defense was better in place and if the pace of array construction wasn’t delayed too much, or if accumulating power for an additional 5 minutes, I should have been able to resolve them sooner.”
Su YanYang shook his head, “Forget it, this match didn’t have so much time.”
As the earth calmed, Su YanYang descended towards the ground below.
Watching as the judges dug open the ground, revealing the bunker already turned to ruins, Su YanYang estimated inwardly, “About sixteen percent completion left, considering it achieved the target.”
Suddenly he frowned slightly, discovering that when he approached, the bunker’s size seemed much larger.
The next moment, as the bunker’s shell was lifted, Su YanYang suddenly realized that within the layers of outer walls, there was another “small bunker” structure.
“No, this is the bunker required by the exam dimensions.”
Su YanYang furrowed his brows, “Excess construction, hiding the real bunker inside a fake one?”
“But even so, there’s still significant damage.”
…
In the Spirit Realm Space.
Wei Huai commented, “Zhang Yu’s team performed well, but ultimately lost due to financial constraints. If they had more adequate funds to equip more top-notch Magic Remains and use more advanced technology, their results should be better.”
“Zhang Yu can’t keep this up, fighting recklessly like this. Even with nine lives, it wouldn’t be enough; he still needs to find a way to borrow more money first.”
Tu Lishan countered, “How much did Su YanYang spend on a match like this? If continues spending this way, can he pay it back? What happens if he can’t repay?”
As the teachers from the Peace Faction and the War Faction disputed again, they quickly shifted from Zhang Yu and Su YanYang’s match to discussing several other matches.
Amidst their argument, Director Gao remained impassive, continuing to calmly watch the settlement screen before him.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch privately messaged: The final completion rate is 36%?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Then in the second half, as long as Su YanYang maintains a building completion rate above 36%, he wins, right?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: From the comparison of both sides’ strengths, it shouldn’t be difficult.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: It seems like you said, this Su YanYang is going to surpass your student.
Director Gao: Maybe… However, the result of the first round was different from what I expected.
Director Gao: I thought Su YanYang would be more overwhelming.
Reflecting on Zhang Yu and the group’s vigorous fight in the last minute, Director Gao seemed thoughtful.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: What? Do you want to help him in the second half?
Director Gao: Wouldn’t it be too hasty? He’s only a sophomore. Give him two more years to grow, and he will definitely surpass this Su YanYang.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You’re right. However, the situation gets more intense each year. Gaining a Seven Extremes a year earlier makes a big difference in future potential.
Director Gao: Do you also think I should give him a hand?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: What does your disciple have to do with me?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: I’m just speaking fairly. If you help him now and he takes the opportunity, it would be a qualitative change worth ten times your usual help. The cost-effectiveness is obviously higher.
Director Gao: You make a good point.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Why are you looking at me? You don’t want me to take action, do you?
Director Gao: My methods are too well-known here. If I help, it’ll easily show.
Director Gao: After all, it’s the civil engineering department’s internal competition. As the Director, it’s not suitable for me to secretly assist a student during the competition.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: He’s your student, not mine, what does it have to do with me?
Director Gao: For the sake of our old friendship, lend a hand. Take advantage of the break to guide him a bit.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: I can’t. I don’t know him at all. How can I guide him?
Director Gao: I trust your level. As long as you are willing, it will work.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Alright, alright, then transfer the payment first.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: If it weren’t for our hundreds of years of friendship, even payment wouldn’t work.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You know how many people are lined up with money begging for my guidance.
Director Gao: [30 spirit coins] I know, thank you, thank you.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: By the way, I’m not his friend yet. Have him add me.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Also, I can’t guarantee a win.
Director Gao: I understand, after you guide him, the rest depends on his own skills.
…
Seeing the judge finally measure a 36% completion rate, Su YanYang turned to look at the crawling Zhang Yu and others.
He raised his head, looking down at them, seeing Zhang Yu and others covered in mud, he calmly said, “Not bad.”
“Given your level, this is already the best result.”
“Take a good rest and keep up the effort in the second half.”
Watching Su YanYang’s departing figure, Shi Huaiyu touched her waist, feeling only soreness and weakness, a sense of feebleness set in.
With an unwilling expression, she thought to herself, “It’s a loss, it’s a big loss this time.”
Obviously, in Shi Huaiyu’s view, it was impossible for them to push Su YanYang’s completion rate below 36% in the second half when Su YanYang’s team was on the defense.
“We’ll definitely lose to Su YanYang.”
“And most likely won’t even make it to the top seven.”
Beside her, Che Yufei awoke from a feigned death state, learning of the 36% completion rate in the first half, he let out a slight sigh, then consoled himself, “To contend with Su YanYang’s team like this, isn’t bad.”
“If it weren’t for Zhang Yu, Shi Huaiyu, and Xiao Qingxuan, I wouldn’t even dare to think of confronting Su YanYang.”
Standing nearby, Xiao Qingxuan watched this scene indifferently. In his view, the team’s limit was top ten, striving for the top seven seemed a bit futile.
Zhang Yu still wanted to fight in the second half. If it were one-on-one, he would undoubtedly choose the same.
After all, with his body activation and the Sacred Body of Earth and Wood, he fears nothing when it comes to hard fighting.
But right now, there were still five teammates.
Seeing the weakness and pain on their faces, Zhang Yu didn’t know how to motivate them to fight. He found himself unable to bring it up.
Yet, if he said nothing, Zhang Yu knew that in the current state of his teammates, the second half would be even less favorable against Su YanYang’s team.
When Zhang Yu was lost in thought, Director Gao sent him a message.
Director Gao: You did well in the first half.
Director Gao: Losing is only because Su YanYang started cultivating years before you.
Director Gao: During the upcoming break, I invited a teacher to guide you.
Director Gao: It was hard for me to ask them. Learn well from them and aim for a good score in the second half.
Director Gao: [Magnetic Pole True Monarch]
