CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 605: THE BATTLEFIELD THAT SUITS ME BEST

Zhang Yu intended to drag Kuang Tianqing into his domain, into the battlefield that belonged to him.

And in the process, he needed to recruit more teammates to join the battle.

Wanfa, Heavenly Sword, Vajra, Immortal Soldier... they were all within his targets.

Of course, Zhang Yu did not expect to lead so many people to besiege Kuang Tianqing alone.

After all, Kuang Tianqing is not a fool, and the elite students from other universities are not fools either; they would not easily stumble into the encirclement of so many people.

Zhang Yu knew better that once the strong players from Wanfa and the other four schools gathered, the experts from Kuang Tianqing’s side—Heavenly Demon, Hehuan, Netherworld, Bone—would certainly start to gather as well.

But this is precisely what he wanted.

"Kuang Tianqing possesses the most outstanding individual abilities among the 100 students in this team competition."

"Such an opponent with extremely strong individual ability, when falling into a battlefield with increasing numbers, will have their individual advantages more and more diminished."

"Kuang Tianqing... I not only want to drag her into my battlefield but also want to bring more people in to further weaken her individual abilities, step by step... devouring her popularity and flow."

However, Zhang Yu knew that to bring more people into his battlefield, relying solely on his own reputation was clearly insufficient. Looking at Tao Qiankun before him, Zhang Yu realized that leveraging the other’s reputation would better achieve his goals.

Firmly deciding in his mind, Zhang Yu continued, "Wen Wuya’s flying sword stands invincible in long-range attack, but after the long-range attack, how to transport and guard captives is a huge problem."

"They need strong players to cooperate with them on the front battlefield to help them seize captives."

"And senior, you are a top expert who can contend with Kuang Tianqing. Under your lead, the Wanfa school team also possesses the most outstanding strength among the ten school teams, making you the best partner for cooperation."

Tao Qiankun slightly nodded, looking at this younger classmate before him, surprised that the other party had laid out all his original plans.

He lightly smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Yu said, "Besides normally seizing captives on the front lines, guarding the captives is also key in this team competition."

"After all, during the team competition, captives can be snatched from each other and rescued by teammates."

"To guard the captives until the competition ends and turn them into genuine scores, it’s necessary to establish a defensive stronghold for imprisoning captives, build a fortress, set up arrays, and construct defense works."

"And arrays and civil engineering are skills that I am proficient in. I will handle these logistical tasks, allowing you and the strong players from Heavenly Sword and other universities to reduce the forces used to guard captives, facilitating fighting outside to capture captives as much as possible..."

Tao Qiankun glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "Yan Qianji can do this as well. He has experience in setting up his production line and mastered quite a lot of civil engineering and array skills, and... he’s already completed most of it."

As they discussed abilities in civil engineering, Zhang Yu’s aura dramatically changed.

He seemed to grow significantly taller, defiantly looking at Tao Qiankun, solemnly saying, "Senior... just as your comprehensive personal strength and combat ability rank top among the 100 in this team competition."

"My civil engineering skills also rank top among the 100."

"The civil engineering abilities needed to construct factories... I possessed them since my freshman year."

Accompanying Zhang Yu’s words, as if testifying to what he said, Zhang Yu’s military civil engineering certificate and civil engineering competition championship certificate came into view one after another.

All of which seemed to tell Tao Qiankun one thing: I’m the civil engineering competition champion among the ten schools, civil engineering is my domain, even Yan Qianji has to step aside.

Tao Qiankun looked at the certificates behind Zhang Yu and slightly smiled, saying, "You’re right. This is your domain."

"Then the prison for holding those captives... will be entrusted to you."

Hearing these words from Tao Qiankun, Zhang Yu’s heart soared, knowing he had succeeded in this step, getting closer to completely dragging Kuang Tianqing into his battlefield.

Meanwhile, battle scenes flickered in Tao Qiankun’s eyes.

Just as he was conversing with Zhang Yu, he had simultaneously been watching the combat video recorded by Zhang Yu.

During this viewing, Tao Qiankun couldn’t help but think: "In this battle, besides Kuang Tianqing, Zhang Yu is the second person constantly changing the battlefield pace."

"Although his strength isn’t great, he indeed affected Kuang Tianqing."

Especially when Tao Qiankun saw the banter between Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing at the end, a light seemed to flash in his eyes.

Tao Qiankun thought to himself, "Within three days, capture Zhang Yu?"

Tao Qiankun understood that under the watchful eyes of so many viewers in the live broadcast, if Kuang Tianqing had spoken these words, he must follow through.

Especially with the heat of this year’s top ten leagues so high, if Kuang Tianqing failed, it would impact his personal brand value and even affect Sky Demon University.

"Kuang Tianqing has already set sights on Zhang Yu."

"Once Zhang Yu goes out to fight, he is very likely to encounter Kuang Tianqing’s ambush."

"Leaving Zhang Yu here to play with mud is the best arrangement."

"With extensive preemptive protection, once Kuang Tianqing invades, I can quickly return to battle her under favorable terrain conditions."

"This is the battlefield most suited for me to face Kuang Tianqing."

"Luring him here will increase my chances of victory."

At this moment, Zhang Yu appeared in Dao Qiankun’s eyes as the perfect bait to lure Kuang Tianqing.

Thus, Dao Qiankun, Zhang Yu, and Bai Zhenzhen proceeded to contact Wen Wuya together, and after some discussions, they established a cooperation agreement.

During this process, Bai Zhenzhen looked at Dao Qiankun and said, "Can I follow you into battle?"

Bai Zhenzhen wanted to continue improving her swordsmanship in battle, striving to catch up to Kuang Tianqing’s level, and her Spirit Root was best suited for progress in combat.

However, Bai Zhenzhen also understood she had already caught Kuang Tianqing’s attention, and a reckless attack could easily lead to a surprise assault from him.

Thus, following Dao Qiankun into battle seemed to be the best choice.

"Dao Qiankun is currently the top contender on this battlefield, and beside him... may indeed be the most suitable battlefield for me right now."

For Dao Qiankun, who was already set to cooperate with Heavenly Sword, this posed no problem.

After reaching the agreement with Heavenly Sword, Dao Qiankun then used his contacts to bring Vajra University’s number one Zang Shen Prison and Immortal Soldier University’s number one Heavenly Saint Worker to the table, beginning the discussion of collaboration among the four schools.

Zhang Yu watched Dao Qiankun’s every move, quietly comparing the differences between him and Kuang Tianqing.

For Zhang Yu, who aspired to seize the top place in the top ten leagues, aside from Kuang Tianqing, Dao Qiankun might also be his future rival.

"Compared to Kuang Tianqing’s solitary actions, unscrupulous methods..."

"Dao Qiankun seems more inclined to use personal strength to leverage immense potential, using overwhelming momentum to achieve his goals."

Before the meeting concluded, Zhang Yu glanced over Dao Qiankun’s back and suddenly thought of another matter.

"A powerhouse like Dao Qiankun should possess a Dao Seed, right?"

Yet Zhang Yu only mused for a moment, as it’s still early to delve into the matter of the Dao Seed with his recent acquaintance Dao Qiankun.

Next, Zhang Yu found Yan Qianji and started taking over the base construction work.

Yan Qianji wholly cooperated as this construction work didn’t interest him, and in his view, such work seldom shines in team contests.

Compared to toiling behind the scenes, Yan Qianji preferred to dominate opponents on the front battlefield, capturing prisoners, which better showcased his presence, gained more attention and fame, and possessed higher Immortal Path potential.

After taking over Yan Qianji’s work, Zhang Yu found that the former had laid a solid foundation and mined many surrounding mineral veins, preparing numerous construction materials.

Yet, according to Zhang Yu, the scale of construction was still somewhat small.

"To harness Spirit Veins, the construction must be denser, and larger-scale defenses should be built with stronger arrays."

"The first step to achieving this is... materials."

As Zhang Yu pondered, a streak of flame light shot up, directing Heavenly Sun Divine toward the mineral veins to start refining ores and metals.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu’s Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power erupted, and vast amounts of building materials before him were seized from afar.

In Zhang Yu’s mind appeared the temporary automaton designed during the testing for the design competition, integrating Heavenly Craftsmanship and Spiritual Aura.

"As long as a mother automaton is constructed, it can continuously consume materials, self-produce, and then gather more materials."

"It’s perfect for use in this team contest, to scavenge materials on the Floating Continent."

As Zhang Yu infused thought into crafting a temporary mother automaton, another thought activated Earth Evil Gravity to probe deeper beneath the ground.

Zhang Yu mused: "I remember the environment on the Floating Continent being intact and prepared with artificial Spirit Veins..."

The next moment, his eyes brightened, and he suddenly shouted: "Spirit Vein! Come to me!"

With a deafening roar akin to an earthquake, the entire landscape under Zhang Yu’s feet began to shake violently.

In the ensuing time, Zhang Yu fully devoted himself to prison construction.

Mountains were leveled, Spirit Veins drawn in, defense towers erected, and diverse automata spread across the hillsides...

As Zhang Yu focused entirely on construction and production, Wanfa, Heavenly Sword, Vajra, and Immortal Soldier gradually developed cooperation relations.

Under Dao Qiankun’s leadership, the other three schools agreed to allocate all prisoners for joint surveillance by the four schools.

Moreover, at least one rank-one from the entire school was ensured to guard the prison at all times.
