After Director Gao briefly inford Zhang Yu about the Seven Extres of Civil Engineering and the Seven Extres Magic Remains, he did not continue to elaborate.
After all, in his view, these matters were still too far off for Zhang Yu. He ntioned it casually, rely planting a seed in the young man’s mind.
In the future, whether Zhang Yu could pass the military certification? Whether he could master the Seven Extres of Civil Engineering?
Even Director Gao couldn’t say for sure at this mont.
"After I teach you the Xuanhuang Sealing Mountain Seal, feel free to ask any questions you might have."
"In the future, if you take first place again in your second and third year and master the Three Earthly Extres, I’ll promote you from a registered disciple to a direct disciple."
Upon hearing this, Tu Lishan felt a stir in his heart, secretly thinking that Director Gao clearly held Zhang Yu in high regard to speak such words.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, once again thought of the existence of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch, feeling a bit troubled: "In this way, by the ti I’m in my third year, won’t both of them want to take as their disciple?"
"And judging from Director Gao’s attitude today..."
Under these circumstances, Zhang Yu felt that his desire to switch departnts seed increasingly difficult.
Once Director Gao had explained everything clearly, he didn’t waste words and his spiritual realm projection vanished swiftly.
Tu Lishan looked at Zhang Yu before him and said with a kind smile, "Since Master Gao has taken you as a disciple, we are now brothers. I’ll call you Junior Brother Zhang then."
Zhang Yu quickly responded, "Brother Tu, thank you for looking after all this ti."
"Haha, it’s nothing, it’s nothing," Tu Lishan said. "I didn’t prepare anything today, but in a few days, I’ll send you a gift, surely to your satisfaction."
As they conversed while walking out, Tu Lishan intentionally invested, and Zhang Yu sought to make a good connection. Both belonged to the Civil Engineering Departnt’s War Faction, so they soon found a lot in common.
Zhang Yu took the opportunity to ask a question: "What’s the relationship between our Civil Engineering Departnt and the Refining Departnt?"
Tu Lishan explained deeply yet simply: "The three ace specialties encompass various fields and span multiple industries."
"But if we had to describe them with one word, the Finance Departnt represents funds, the Refining Departnt technology, and the Taoist Skill Departnt energy."
"Of course, this doesn’t an the three specialties are restricted to just funds, technology, and energy."
"For example, the Refining Departnt certainly also needs support from funds and energy, while the Finance Departnt surely masters many technologies and energy sources."
"It’s just that these words indeed represent the characteristics and pursuits of the three specialties..."
Listening to Tu Lishan’s detailed explanation, Zhang Yu gained a deeper understanding of the three ace specialties.
Tu Lishan continued, "Among the three specialties, the relationships between Finance, Refining, and our Civil Engineering are quite good."
"But Finance is more aligned with the Peace Faction, while the Refining Departnt has a stronger tie with our War Faction."
Zhang Yu asked again, "Does the Refining Departnt also believe the university war will escalate?"
"It’s more than belief," Tu Lishan sighed, "If no one was holding them back, the war enthusiasts in the Refining Departnt would have joined the fray years ago."
"They’re eager to sell magic treasures and magic remains to all of Kunxu."
Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered as he asked, "I heard there’s a formidable Magnetic Pole True Monarch in the Refining Departnt. How is his relationship with our Master?"
"Magnetic Pole True Monarch?" Tu Lishan replied, "He’s been a longti friend of Master Gao. They knew each other long before they joined Wanfa University as teachers."
...
In the Spirit Realm Network.
Director Gao sent a ssage to Magnetic Pole True Monarch: I accepted a promising freshman today.
Director Gao: Freshman Foundation Establishnt class in the Civil Engineering Departnt, grade ranking. Image file.
Director Gao: It’s this first-place Zhang Yu.
Director Gao: A worthy opponent, with his skills in Civil Engineering surpassing even the direct disciple of Old Lin.
Director Gao: Old Lin. Video file.
Director Gao: Look how angry he beca, rendered speechless and eventually fleeing in disarray by my retort.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You are impressive.
Reading the response, Director Gao couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, feeling as if sothing was off in the tone.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: You accepted Zhang Yu?
Director Gao: Yes, made him a registered disciple. If all goes well in two years, I’m planning to take him as a direct disciple.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Congratulations on acquiring such an outstanding disciple.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: I’m quite envious; finding such a talented student isn’t easy.
Director Gao frowned again, feeling that there was a subtext he couldn’t pinpoint.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Speaking of which, I also recently accepted a disciple.
Director Gao curiously asked: Oh? Who is it?
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: Soone who ca through the back door, not worth ntioning.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch: If he does well in the future, I’ll introduce him to you.
...
In the Magnetic Channel.
Zhang Yu walked lightly on the way back to the dormitory, and sent a ssage in the dorm group, informing his roommates to prepare for a move to the deluxe dormitory.
"I finally achieved my phase objective."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Next is the Civil Engineering competition, the coursework for the second year, and..."
He thought about the courses in the Refining Departnt.
After all, by Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s demand, he had to master the Refining Departnt courses from the first to the third year and pass the exams.
With the end of first-year final exams, Zhang Yu was theoretically already a sophomore.
"The Refining Departnt courses also need to be considered and studied."
"Oh, and the spirit coins..."
He checked his account balance, and with the arrival of a 10 spirit coin student loan, his balance had increased to a total of 56 spirit coins.
"This should be enough to unlock my sister’s Dao Seed."
"But it costs 50 spirit coins."
Thinking about how the spirit coins he worked so hard to save would suddenly drop to just 6 spirit coins, Zhang Yu felt a pang of pain.
Civil Engineering competitions, second-year courses, Refining Departnt courses, and the perpetually lacking funds in his account...
As he thought about it, the ease he felt after achieving first in the Foundation Establishnt class gradually faded, leaving him with a sense that more tasks awaited in the second year.
At this mont, Zhang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly as soone in the competition team’s group chat sent a ssage.
Ma Xuan: @Ji Yuanshu, have you finished your exam? How did it go?
Ji Yuanshu: Not bad.
Ma Xuan: Let’s arrange training for tomorrow then.
The other mbers of the competition team also popped up one after another, discussing training with Ji Yuanshu.
As for the substitute mber Zhang Yu, it was as if he were invisible, with no one acknowledging him in the group.
...
Ji Yuanshu looked at the group ssage, his face extrely grim, while he politely responded and struggled to suppress his luck.
After reviewing the results of the final exam, he realized he might not be able to maintain his first-place position.
But no matter finance or luck, until the very last mont, he could not admit defeat.
Because if he gave up, the luck he had gathered would imdiately start to backfire.
So as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would not admit defeat in front of anyone before tonight’s ranking update.
When asked by others about his exam, he would only say that he did well.
Just like in the past when he won first place ti and ti again, calm and composed, always appearing as steady as a rock.
But while he could present this to the outside world, internally... Ji Yuanshu couldn’t deceive himself.
As ti passed, Ji Yuanshu beca increasingly anxious.
He refreshed the rankings over and over, eager to know the result yet sowhat afraid to find out.
...
Wanfa University City.
Inside the 667th floor construction site.
While working, Zhang Yu noticed a new ssage.
Ying Xin: Senior Brother, congratulations! [Fireworks][Fireworks][Fireworks]
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback: What did you call ?
Ying Xin: You’re now first in the Foundation Establishnt class overall scores and a registered disciple of Director Gao, so you must be our Senior Brother of the Foundation Establishnt class.
Ying Xin: I heard you moved to a luxurious 30-square-ter dormitory?
Ying Xin: Could you tell your door number? I have a congratulatory gift for you.
Zhang Yu pondered for a mont, realizing that the nickna "Senior Brother" was ant as a playful complint.
He looked at the continuously ringing alarm and understood the rankings must have been updated.
He imdiately clicked to check.
First place, Zhang Yu, overall score 2553
Second place, Ji Yuanshu, overall score 2551
Third place, Gongshu Jin, overall score 2503
Fourth place, Ying Xin, overall score 2488
Fifth place, Yu Xinghan, overall score 2475
Although he already received insider information, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but smile when he saw the nas and scores on the ranking.
Seeing the ssage from Ying Xin, he sent back his new dorm address and then asked: What do you plan to give?
Ying Xin: It’s my family’s ancestral ashes.
Ying Xin: I noticed that during your exams, you neither hit live stakes nor left any bloodstains, so you might be lacking materials in that area?
Ying Xin: My family’s ancestral ashes are particularly useful. Just sprinkle a handful during construction, and the building’s strength increases significantly.
Reading Ying Xin’s ssage, Zhang Yu replied with a strange expression: Wouldn’t that be too presumptuous?
Zhang Yu: Do you have enough for yourself?
Zhang Yu: Maybe you should keep them after all.
Ying Xin: What’s presumptuous about it?
Ying Xin: If we don’t use the ashes, should we bury them and waste them? Our ancestors would jump up and scold for being unfilial if they knew.
Ying Xin: And rest assured, just a little bit is used each ti, they’re very durable.
Ying Xin: As long as, by the ti I die, I use less than I have now, there’s no problem. Each generation only accumulates more.
Ying Xin: If you don’t accept this, do you have an issue with ?
Under Ying Xin’s insistence, Zhang Yu finally agreed to accept the gift.
While Zhang Yu chatted with Ying Xin, more ssages ca in.
Gongshu Jin: Congratulations.
Gongshu Jin waited a while and noticed Zhang Yu hadn’t responded, so he sent a red envelope.
Gongshu Jin: 0.01 spirit coins.
After instantly receiving the 0.01 spirit coins, Zhang Yu replied: Sorry, I was busy just now and didn’t see.
Gongshu Jin: I understand, I understand [Prayer Hands]
Gongshu Jin: I just think you’re amazing, Zhang Yu, and wanted to congratulate you.
Gongshu Jin: Let’s try out the Magic Remains together next ti.
Zhang Yu: No problem.
Zhang Yu casually replied to Gongshu Jin’s ssage, then imdiately shifted his focus to another chat window.
It was a congratulatory ssage from Ye Xingli of the Artifact Refining Departnt.
Even though several months had passed, Zhang Yu still rembered the opulence when that senior sister from the Artifact Refining Departnt treated them to a buffet, her figure as if cloaked in the galaxy flashing in his mind.
Ye Xingli: Haha, even in the Artifact Refining Departnt, I’ve heard my master’s ntion of you.
Zhang Yu: Senior Sister, who is your master?
Ye Xingli: Magnetic Pole True Monarch.
