Chapter 668: Chapter 606: Team Tournament Day 2

The time quickly arrived at the second day of the team competition.

Under Zhang Yu’s full efforts, the fortress originally crafted by Yan Qianji was expanded several times over.

The central prison structure was wrapped in dozens of layers of armor plates, with dual arrays inside and outside blocking Spirit Realm communications, and numerous defensive structures converging within.

But Zhang Yu still didn’t stop; he continued producing and building.

On the other hand, as the cooperation among the four schools unfolded, the champions, under the leadership of Tao Qiankun, launched attacks in all directions.

Thanks to Tao Qiankun’s top-tier strength, combined with Wen Wuya’s powerful reconnaissance ability, many strong rivals from enemy schools were defeated and captured.

Thus, during this time, the prison built by Zhang Yu had already welcomed six captives.

And Zhang Yu, through the four-school group and Bai Zhenzhen’s recordings, witnessed many battle sequences and gathered a lot of intelligence.

Tao Qiankun’s “Locking Heaven and Earth” trapped three strong competitors from Bone University.

Jiutian Liu controlled fortunes, remotely stripping opponents of several cultivation techniques and levels.

Zang Shen Prison from Vajra Temple took on multiple foes alone, holding off the combined attack of four champions.

Heavenly Saint Worker from Immortal Soldier University, piloting an aerial fortress that transformed into a 300-meter-tall colossus, captured two prisoners in one battle.

Of course, the four-school alliance from Wanfa wasn’t without losses. Vajra, Heavenly Sword, and Immortal Soldier each had a student defeated and captured.

Among them, two were ambushed successfully by the elusive Kuang Tianqing.

This number one from Sky Demon University was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone’s head.

No one knew where he would appear or when he would launch an attack. Each time he struck, he would immediately retreat, defeating and robbing only one person, never giving opponents a chance to encircle him.

Watching this series of battlefield intelligence, Zhang Yu had a feeling that as the four-school cooperation from Wanfa intensified, the champions from Sky Demon’s side were also gradually converging. The scale and intensity of their battles grew higher with each encounter.

During this period, Wen Wuya also kept searching for the location where the enemies held their captives.

However, the Heavenly Patrol Flying Sword was not omnipotent. The obstacles of clouds, mist, grass, soil, and various escape techniques made Wen Wuya unable to track where the prisoners were taken.

“Most likely underground,” Zhang Yu thought to himself, “If it’s underground, it would be very difficult to find.”

“Unlike my prominent, unabashed construction, aimed at expanding the scale and increasing the intensity, their goal is to hide their tracks, not to be discovered.”

“But to achieve this, they must control the scale of construction. Their base’s defensive capabilities are surely weak.”

Unknowingly, the construction styles of the two sides’ prisons took different directions.

Outside the prison, besides other defensive works, there were also many resting rooms built by Zhang Yu.

After all, following the four-school collaboration, at any given time, at least one top student from each school was stationed here. Several team members from the four school teams also gathered outside the prison, resting their bodies and maintaining their equipment.

Unconsciously, this place had become not only a prison to hold captives but also a place for students to rest and gather.

On this day, just as Zhang Yu was setting up the spiritual mechanism circuits, a student clad in Extreme Tiger Brand Magic Remains and advertisements found him.

The fourth-ranked from Immortal Soldier University, Artifact Refining Department, Ling Pojun.

“You must be Zhang Yu?”

Ling Pojun looked at Zhang Yu and asked, “You’re currently in charge of the infrastructure here?”

Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Ling Pojun continued, “I need an artifact refining laboratory to repair equipment. How long will it take you to complete it?”

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, looking at Ling Pojun like he was an idiot, saying, “Find a way to do it yourself; those things aren’t my responsibility.”

Ling Pojun looked at him coldly and said, “You’re in charge of the infrastructure affairs. If you don’t do it, do you expect me to build it myself?”

“Zhang Yu, you stay holed up in here all day and never go out to fight; you should serve us well, saving our time…”

Zhang Yu slightly furrowed his brows, sensing hostility from Ling Pojun, and thought to himself, “What’s with this guy…”

Looking at Zhang Yu, Ling Pojun thought to himself, “The battles outside are becoming increasingly dangerous. Even with my strength, I can’t guarantee complete safety.”

“The upcoming battles will be the domain of the number ones from each school and a few strong second and third places. It’s their stage to showcase strength and garner attention.”

“If I want to continue increasing my attention and popularity, I need to think of ways in other areas.”

Ling Pojun never thought he could claim first place in the top ten competitions.

To him, leveraging this highly popular top ten competition to boost his exposure, gain more attention, more investment, and increase his Immortal Path potential was his main goal.

“Consuming the weak is one way to increase attention,” thought Ling Pojun, looking at Zhang Yu, “This Zhang Yu caught some attention from Kuang Tianqing’s spotlight yesterday; he should have a decent amount of focus, but his strength isn’t formidable…”

He smirked internally, “Plus, ever since he dove into the construction site, he never came out. Stinking of dirt, surely many viewers already look down on him.”

“If I press him and engage in a conflict, I could attract quite a bit of support and attention.”

As for those who dislike it? Ling Pojun didn’t care. He understood that controversy draws viewers, and any form of attention, even infamy, boosts popularity.

Especially as a high achiever from Immortal Soldier University and a user of the Extreme Tiger Brand Magical Remains, he is long accustomed to garnering attention through controversy and conflict.

In comparison to the risks of injury or capture by continuing to compete, arguing and conflicting with Zhang Yu in front of him seemed more cost-effective to Ling Pojun.

Given that Kuang Tianqing and he were on the same Floating Continent, the same arena, and truly had the opportunity to kill him, he would certainly argue with the opponent if it were a regular time.

“Zhang Yu, I have no personal opinion about you.”

Ling Pojun thought calmly to himself: “But the struggle on the Immortal Road is like this, either you swallow me, or I swallow you. You have attention but lack strength, so don’t blame me…”

As his mind raced, Ling Pojun let out a cold snort, stepped forward, and an overwhelming momentum surged forward, while the Extreme Tiger Brand Magical Remains on his body emitted an even brighter glow.

He looked coldly at Zhang Yu and said, “While you’re huddled here playing safe, we’ve been out there fighting life and death every moment, constantly expending spirit coins.”

“Now when we ask you to do some logistics work, you are unwilling?”

“Do you still have a bit of the excellent student demeanor from Wanfa University? Do you have any team competition spirit?”

Looking at the other party’s righteous expression, Zhang Yu thought to himself: “This guy… Why does it always feel like he’s not talking to me?”

Seeing the increasingly conspicuous Extreme Tiger Magical Remains and advertisements on the other party’s body, Zhang Yu suddenly noticed and pondered: “Now it’s being livestreamed, could this guy be trying to boost his own attention through our conflict?”

Zhang Yu frowned, as he didn’t have the time for internal disputes with the other party.

To hunt Kuang Tianqing, Zhang Yu knew that every minute and second ahead was incredibly precious for him.

Seeing Zhang Yu’s lack of response, Ling Pojun was about to continue criticizing him: “What use is there for you to dig around here and fix these broken walls? Are you counting on these things to resist when the opponents come?”

As he spoke, Ling Pojun thought to himself: “Of course, they’re useful, but most of the audience will think they’re useless.”

“The audience’s attention can’t be seen in things like logistics, construction, and defensive works.”

“Only offense, suppressing opponents, capturing prisoners, are the most dazzling things in the audience’s eyes.”

Just as Ling Pojun wanted to continue speaking, Zhang Yu couldn’t be bothered with him and directly said, “I want to cultivate now.”

“If you have nothing, just leave.”

Ling Pojun was slightly stunned, and the next moment saw the other party directly projected a cultivation technique, appearing as if he was about to begin cultivation.

“This guy…” In this livestream, once a participant starts cultivating, especially as Zhang Yu projects the cultivation content to cultivate, it would inevitably lead to large-scale censorship and muting.

If he stayed here, it would mean giving up all livestream coverage.

With a cold snort, without the livestream coverage, Ling Pojun couldn’t be bothered to say any more and directly left.

After Ling Pojun left, Zhang Yu continued immersing himself in his own work.

In the time that followed, apart from continuous construction and production, Zhang Yu was also constantly thinking about another matter.

“Besides dragging Kuang Tianqing into the battlefield where I excel, I also need to improve my own strength to better execute the upcoming plans.”

Zhang Yu understood that within the remaining two days of the team competition, wanting to improve his strength in such a short time couldn’t be a boost in hard power.

“I need to better apply the power I possess.”

Referring to the battle footage of Kuang Tianqing, Zhang Yu sensed the combination and complement of various military-level powers, creating a complete combat system.

Apart from Kuang Tianqing, through information gathering and Bai Zhenzhen’s recordings, he could sense that many top student achievers from other universities were similar.

Tao Qiankun, Jiutian Liu, Yan Qianji, Wen Wuya… Their military-level powers form systems, enabling perfect coordination, pushing their combat power to the limit.

“My military-level powers can also coordinate, but not as closely.”

Zhang Yu knew that ultimately, he had spent too little time cultivating Level 20 military-level powers, lacking the process of continuous application, correction, and integration.

“Their military-level powers have personalized modifications, accumulated bit by bit during the process of refining their systems through continuous trials and experiments.”

“I also need to make similar changes now.”

“How should my military-level powers coordinate and transform to better counter Kuang Tianqing?”

With a thought, Zhang Yu drew rock swords from the earth using the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, then infused them with Heaven and Earth Destruction Invisible Heart Soldiers, transforming the rock swords into temporary flying swords, emitting shards of sharp energy.

Then, as the Earth Evil Gravity surged, the flying swords rose to the sky, seemingly forming a sword array.

“That’s a sort of coordination, I think.”

“And there’s also Heavenly Sun Divine and Taihao Sacred Law Flying Sword.”

Zhang Yu glanced at his Dao Heart; during the battle with Kuang Tianqing yesterday, to break the opponent’s Taoist Skill, he used Heavenly Saint Worker to burn his Dao Heart. Now, the Dao Heart is Level 19 (86%).

Zhang Yu thought to himself: “As long as the Dao Heart maintains Level 19, my combat power won’t be significantly affected.”

“This means that I can use Heavenly Saint Worker a few more times.”

“How should I use them?”

Time flew by with Zhang Yu’s preparations and the continued carnage on the team competition field.

In a blink, it was the last day of the team competition.
