At this mont, a sudden roar ca from not far away. Zhang Yu turned his head to see a surge of cold air shooting skyward, freezing half of a senior student’s body.
However, in the next mont, the senior student shouted loudly, his whole body flickering with flas, suppressing the cold air.
He gasped and said, "Thankfully, enough ti has passed that the residual mana of the Golden Core has greatly diminished in power, otherwise just now..."
Witnessing this, everyone beca even more cautious. Zhang Yu also activated his Three-Eyed Divine Power, maintaining a 360-degree view, alert to any slight movent.
As Zhang Yu gathered Gang Qi and carried away a piece of a shattered wall, he suddenly felt a chilling aura rushing toward him.
Underneath the shattered wall lay a piece of steel wrapped in layers of flesh, moving up and down as if breathing.
At the sa ti, even Zhang Yu’s naked eye could see the intense resentnt pouring out from the steel, rushing in all directions.
Zhang Yu: "Resentnt?"
Fu Ji warned: "Be careful, such heavy resentnt, if it enters your body, you’ll be sick for days at the least, and seriously, it might cause a ntal impact and a retreat of your Dao Heart."
At this ti, several senior students arrived. Che Yufei said: "It’s the resentnt alloy used for puppet creation."
Zhang Yu asked: "Should we consult Mr. Tu on how to handle it?"
Che Yufei patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder and said excitedly: "Why ask a teacher? I’ll check the price with the scrap collectors tonight."
"The usual rules apply, the teacher gets 50%, and we split the rest evenly."
Seeing the seniors’ familiar attitude, Zhang Yu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the Civil Engineering departnt.
Not long after, another loud noise rang out, a giant tal palm rose skyward, and struck a Foundation Establishnt student flying, with blood oozing from seven apertures and multiple fractures.
Zhang Yu learned later that the student had unearthed a half-produced puppet arm, which suddenly activated and launched the student away.
When Zhang Yu picked up a beam, the Three-Eyed Divine Power detected unusual spiritual movents all around.
He instantly activated the Ti Residual Ink Eyes, feeling as though the entire world slowed down before his eyes.
Soon, he could see the ground beneath him slowly rising, like earth transforming into a giant mouth ready to swallow him.
The War Demon Life-Extending Technique burst forth, adding a full 1.0 level of physical enhancent, combined with Zhang Yu’s own strength, propelling him out with a "whoosh."
The place he originally stood was swallowed by a small mound.
Zhang Yu inwardly sighed in relief: "Is it the factory’s protective array?"
He then glanced at the half-beam in his hand with joy, noting the unusual material.
However, Zhang Yu thought twice and looked at the vast factory ruins before him, ultimately deciding not to deal with it on his own and instead sought out Che Yufei.
Che Yufei saw Zhang Yu voluntarily handing over the beam, his lips slightly curved, and patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder, saying: "You understand the rules, when the scrap paynt arrives, I’ll transfer the money to you soon."
Zhang Yu took the chance to ask: "What material is this beam?"
Che Yufei expertly explained: "Oh~ this? It’s third-grade special alloy steel, capable of bearing high load requirents, often used as beam support..."
Like this, amidst the ruins filled with residual Golden Core mana, high-risk materials for puppet manufacturing, and remnants of the protective factory array... and other dangers, Zhang Yu cultivated his cultivation technique while clearing ruins, collecting various materials, and continually learning the characteristics of these materials from Che Yufei.
Despite the risks, relying on the Three-Eyed Divine Power’s sensing ability, the ti residual ability of the Ti Residual Ink Eyes, and the robust resistance provided by the Sacred Body of Earth and Wood, Zhang Yu was still able to complete his tasks relatively safely.
...
After Zhang Yu and the others worked all night, starting their third round of dicine.
Gongshu Jin and others finally finished their online classes and began their work and cultivation.
"Everyone, I’ll go first," Mo Enting waved to the crowd, then nodded to Gongshu Jin: "Junior Gongshu, you also give it your all."
Mo Enting knew Gongshu Jin was a student targeted for special training by Director Gao, cultivating the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power. Since their eting, he had often tried to befriend the junior with a similar na as his.
Under Gongshu Jin’s yearning gaze, Mo Enting floated in mid-air, then, with his palms forming seals, the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power erupted fiercely, uprooting nearby trees and moving layers of mountain rocks.
Gongshu Jin understood, Mo Enting was using the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power to gradually adjust the mountain terrain to achieve the purpose of guiding the Spirit Vein.
"If Spirit Veins are like long rivers, then adjusting the mountain terrain is like changing river courses, able to comb through Spirit Veins and lay the foundation for array deploynt."
Next, Gongshu Jin looked at other seniors, so transford like giant dragons, opening paths on the ground, carving tunnels, creating a route for underground transportation.
Others clasped their hands together, a high-temperature force field suddenly covering a hundred ters, refining large quantities of recycled tal materials into new construction materials.
Gongshu Jin mused: "Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power is no doubt, Wanfa University’s Civil Engineering Departnt’s renowned military-grade martial art."
"There’s also Star Sky Rushing Pulse Technique and Red Fire Mysterious Fla Divine Skill, which are expensive, requiring expensive pills and magic remains to cultivate, costly and emphasizing Immortal Path foundation, demanding accumulation before releasing potential."
"Of course, once mastered, earning spirit coins becos quick, the risk of work and body wear is minimal."
Gongshu Jin understood, it wasn’t that the Civil Engineering Departnt teachers didn’t want to train the poor in these techniques, but rather the poor couldn’t afford to learn, let alone cultivate them, often resorting to self-harming thods and potential-exhausting techniques.
These impoverished techniques may initially keep up with them but will soon lag far behind due to the limitations, and daily earnings at construction sites can be drastically different, by tenfold or hundredfold.
At this mont, watching the seniors display their divine skills, Gongshu Jin felt a surge of emotion and, full of fighting spirit, turned to walk towards his own worksite.
He spread his hands, and the newly implanted magic remains in his hands had already produced two fierce vortexes, beginning to activate his newly cultivated technique—the Nine Earth Netherworld Force.
In an instant, the prepared cent, sand, mineral powder, spirit stones, and other materials around him were swept up, transforming into a gray tornado that soared into the sky.
Director Gao walked up beside him, nodding slightly as he watched the scene: "Rember, the mixing of concrete needs to be adjusted according to the site’s construction environnt, the requirents of the array, and the type of spirit vein..."
...
When Gongshu Jin and others began their work, the huge commotion also attracted Zhang Yu’s attention.
Watching the tornado soaring into the sky, countless mud and rocks flying into the air, along with the violent tremors coming from the ground...
Zhang Yu felt a bit emotional: "Compared to these guys, we are just like ordinary construction workers."
"No... it should be said that these guys are like giant engineering equipnt, right?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Yu still focused his attention on his own work.
Another day passed, and the students were given an hour of break ti.
Zhang Yu first switched the Chain Technique Map set to the University’s Sacred Body for healing, then returned to his room and switched to the Martial Arts Sacred Fetus to speed up self-recovery.
He thought: "As my cultivation level increases day by day, the enhancent effect of the Martial Arts Sacred Fetus is becoming weaker."
"As expected, a Qi Refinent Realm set cannot be used forever."
Opening the Spirit Realm Network, Zhang Yu checked the ssages he received and replied to them one by one.
At this mont, Che Yufei and others ca in.
Che Yufei looked at Zhang Yu and said, "What are you doing here? You can’t be working overti and cultivating every day; you need to relax occasionally."
"The massage room has been set up over there by the team massage therapist, and there’s a discount today, hurry up and go."
Faced with Che Yufei’s invitation, Zhang Yu, who was continuously recovering physical wear under the dual effects of the Martial Arts Sacred Fetus and body activation, naturally shook his head and refused. He didn’t want to waste money.
Che Yufei said, "How can you live long on the worksite without a massage? How can you earn more money?"
"Let’s hurry." Shi Yunxiang had already walked out: "I’ll pick first."
Seeing Zhang Yu repeatedly refusing, Che Yufei also shook his head, unwilling to persuade further, and left first.
At this mont, a ssage from Bai Zhenzhen popped up in Zhang Yu’s mind’s eye: Yu Zi, are you off work?
Zhang Yu: Hmm, I’m taking a break for a while, then I’m planning to work overti. The internet fee is quite high, I’ll turn it off later.
Bai Zhenzhen: I heard that after work, your Civil Engineering Departnt always goes for a massage to alleviate physical wear, aren’t you going?
Zhang Yu: My colleagues do go, but I didn’t go. It’s not necessary for .
Bai Zhenzhen: Are you sure? You should go if you need it, don’t wear your body out.
Zhang Yu: No need, I’m not wasting money on this.
Bai Zhenzhen: Ah, mom is so useless, can’t even send money for her son’s massage.
Zhang Yu: Focus on cultivating well, and you can show filial piety next ti you see dad.
After casually chatting with Bai Zhenzhen for a few sentences, Zhang Yu also ended his active breathing exercises, feeling his body had mostly recovered, he proceeded alone into the ruins once more.
In the following days, Zhang Yu continually took dicine, cultivated, and worked overti, tornting himself while healing himself in this perilous environnt.
anwhile, he gradually deepened his understanding of the various materials in the ruins, taking advantage of the ti when his classmates went for massages, to find opportunities to collect materials and complete his cultivation.
The first material he chose to digest was the Type 20 Spirit Steel originally used in the puppet factory for making protective armor for puppet core parts.
This spirit steel can resist explosions and impacts, and it can evenly absorb martial arts force, having a strength comparable to a body refining expert at the peak of the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Once he could refine this Type 20 Spirit Steel into his bones through the digestion power from the University’s Sacred Body and the Level 20 Earth Eating Divine Skill, he would truly possess an indestructible skeletal fra sufficient to roam across the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
But when Zhang Yu finally managed to pick up a little, he found it difficult to digest this material. It might take ten days to half a month of ti to strengthen just a few finger bones.
Zhang Yu thought: "What should I do? Practice another cultivation technique and see?"
"Try drugs to enhance digestion?"
After considering various options, Zhang Yu rejected them one by one.
He ultimately concluded: "Although the University’s Sacred Body grants powerful digestion abilities, my gastrointestinal tract is fundantally constrained by my own physical strength."
"To accelerate the digestion speed of Type 20 Spirit Steel, I need to make my gastrointestinal tract tougher, stronger... like putting a layer of armor on my digestive organs."
With this thought, a glint appeared in Zhang Yu’s eyes, and the data of various materials at the worksite flashed through his mind.
