Jade Star Cold’s gaze flitted back and forth, at times observing Ying Xin’s refinement of materials, at times focusing on Gong Shu Jin’s construction techniques, and at times surveying the other disciples.

Blessed with the Three Gods Divine Ability, his vision encompassed all, allowing him to meticulously scrutinize the actions and circumstances of each and every disciple.

“My construction prowess… is not exceptionally strong.”

“After all, for the greater part of my time, I have not been on the construction site itself, but rather providing massages to those who emerged from it.”

Jade Star Cold diligently memorized the disciples’ actions, mimicking and repeating their movements.

In that moment, Jade Star Cold resembled a master tailor, meticulously piecing together individual construction steps and then stitching them onto his own building site!

But in the very next moment, a sudden flicker of bewilderment crossed his face; “That boy, Zhang Yu…”

Through his observation, Zhang Yu was actually rooted to his spot, greedily devouring steel bars and cement as if they were mere morsels!

“What is this fellow doing, squatting and feasting in the examination grounds?”

“Is now the time for such antics?”

Meanwhile, at his construction site, Zhang Yu, feeling the building materials being deposited into his intestines and stomach, mused inwardly: “Ying Xin’s choice was not misguided!”

“The quality of the building materials does indeed need us ourselves to improve!”

Witnessing this, Zhang Yu’s entire being surged with spiritual power, his muscles around his body swelling and contracting, unleashing an unparalleled resilience!

The Mountain Yue True Form Chapter was in full effect.

The next instant, as spiritual power infused him, Zhang Yu’s muscles and internal organs around his body suddenly expanded, like an inflated ball, swelling fiercely into a giant!

Then, with a wide opening of his mouth, he swallowed large chunks of building materials into his abdomen!

However, Zhang Yu was not digesting these materials; he was utilizing his intestines and stomach, forged from Secret Steel No. 15, like a lathe, to reprocess these building materials, drastically enhancing their strength!

Feeling the transformation of the building materials within his abdomen, Zhang Yu’s gaze remained unwavering!

“Simply doing this is still not enough…”

Zhang Yu murmured inwardly: “In this examination grounds, be it comparing Dharma Bodies, wealth, or experience, even comparing Daoist techniques and abilities, there are those stronger than me!”

“To win, I must fully exploit my own advantages, use the most fundamental, most rudimentary strength of my body, and build this bunker into an indestructible fortress.”

With a low roar, Zhang Yu’s entire being surged with astral energy, and one by one, formless strongmen materialized behind his shoulders, seizing the building materials he expelled from his mouth and commencing the foundation work at his construction site!

Ji Yuan Shu had been observing Zhang Yu’s state all along, for the other party was the disciple with the closest strength to his in this examination!

And witnessing Zhang Yu condense human-shaped astral energy figures, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of disapproval: “Truly… a waste of spiritual power!”

As steel bars and cement rose from the ground, Zhang Yu’s formless strongmen flitted among them, and his construction team gradually became an indiscernible blur!

Time, amidst the array of hammering and collision sounds in the examination grounds, swiftly passed!

Every disciple was exerting their utmost, showcasing the essence of their acquired knowledge, and pouring it without reservation into the construction site before their eyes!

Witnessing the bunkers gradually rise from the ground, and observing the actions of each disciple, Tu Li Shan’s heart grew more and more curious and expectant of the final outcome!

As the three hours of construction time drew to a close, the number of disciples still engaged in building grew increasingly scarce!

The vast majority had already completed all construction tasks!

Gazing at Zhang Yu’s bunker, where frantic hammering movements continued, Gong Shu Jin mused inwardly: “Could it be that his spiritual power consumption was too severe before, causing his construction efficiency to decline, and he has instead fallen behind?”

As the three hours of construction time ended!

The movements within Zhang Yu’s construction site also ceased!

With a hint of regret on his face, he emerged from the bunker!

The crowd witnessing this scene all guessed that Zhang Yu had been unable to fully complete the interior of the bunker!

At the same time, Tu Li Shan’s eyes flickered slightly, and a figure clad in a Daoist robe, resembling an ancient scholar, appeared before him!

It was none other than Director Gao’s projection from the Spirit World!

Director Gao spoke faintly: “How is the situation?”

Tu Li Shan respectfully replied: “The construction has just finished, we are now just about to begin the verification!”

One by one, assistants and other invigilating civil engineering teachers entered the bunkers, verifying their internal conditions one by one and recording them!

Seeing this scene, Director Gao nodded slightly and said casually: “Indeed, I have come to see the results of the first years!”

Tu Li Shan could sense Director Gao’s displeasure, and combining it with the current day, he guessed it was likely related to the final examination results!

Director Gao was indeed dissatisfied with the final examination results of each grade this time!

Currently, among the War Faction and Peace Faction disciples in the Civil Engineering System, the War Faction had fallen behind in the results of five grades, losing the first place!

If Ji Yuan Shu took the first place for the first years, then overall, it would be six grades of falling behind!

Director Gao asked: “How high is the probability of Zhang Yu or Gong Shu Jin winning?”

Tu Li Shan hesitated for a moment and said: “It is difficult to say!”

Director Gao furrowed his brow slightly: “Then I will see for myself!”

At the same time, numerous disciples gathered outside the construction site, nervously awaiting the verification process and the subsequent ten waves of offensive!

Soon, the verification was complete. Ying Xin, looking at her 100% completion rate, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: “Next, we just have to see how many waves of offense we can withstand!”

Around the construction site, one by one, Spirit World projections rose up. In the eyes of the crowd, shimmering light bands surrounded the construction site, displaying a prohibition against entry!

As Tu Li Shan announced the start of the final stage of the examination, the first wave of offensive also commenced!

As the surrounding partition boards rose, huge pipes unfolded from underground!

The next moment, like a mountain torrent pouring out, giant dragon-like angry waves already slammed against the bunkers!

Terrifying power surged within the giant waves, relentlessly pounding the bunkers, like siege engines bombarding a fortress, making numerous disciples anxious, fearing their bunkers would be washed away!

Ten minutes later, the tide gradually retreated!

Tu Li Shan nodded slightly and began the second wave of offensive amidst deafening roars!

All the bunkers trembled slightly. As the simulation examination field’s array activated, the ground where the bunkers were located undulated up and down, like shocking ocean waves rising from the earth!

With the violent shaking of the ground, one by one, the bunkers experienced an earthquake of magnitude 7 or 8!

Some disciples looked at their works with cracked walls, their faces filled with worry!

Some disciples, seeing their works standing as steady as Mount Tai, breathed a sigh of relief!

One minute later, as the simulated earthquake ended, not a single bunker on the site had collapsed!

The third wave of offensive brought about violent explosions, and visible shockwaves swept over the bunkers. In this wave of offense, finally, some bunker walls began to collapse!

And when the fourth wave of offensive ended, only a few bunkers on the field remained in complete shape!

However, one of them already had a cracked outer wall, also exposing large patches of bloodstains within the walls!

Witnessing this scene, Tu Li Shan was slightly surprised, “Ying Xin actually withstood this wave!”

Looking at the bloodstains on the walls, his gaze shifted: “Is it blood sacrifice?”

Director Gao’s eyes displayed Ying Xin’s data, and he nodded slightly: “In the process of heavily refining the materials, she incorporated her own essence blood and the ancestral bone ash stored within her body, setting up a blood sacrifice!”

Director Gao smiled faintly, his eyes seemingly conjuring images of the disciples who resembled Ying Xin, her father, grandfather, and even earlier ancestors!

“She is indeed a sixth-generation Earthly Person, mastering the skills of Earthwork Blood Sacrifice in her first year!”

The fifth wave of offensive saw huge fireballs rise up, engulfing the remaining bunkers one by one!

As Ying Xin’s built bunker was shattered in large part, Gong Shu Jin’s built bunker also broke open a large hole, exposing a section of spine within!

Blood threads and nerves spread from that spine throughout the entire wall, swallowing the spiritual energy in the array, becoming like the heart of the building!

Tu Li Shan’s gaze shifted: “He inserted his own Vajra Mystic Building Spine Dharma Body into the array eye?”

Director Gao nodded appreciatively: “Oh, he’s driven in a life pile? This is a construction skill from the second year. To think he has already mastered it at this moment, and can even drive his own Dharma Body into it!”

The sixth wave of offensive, accompanied by flickering lightning, covered the entire construction site with thunderfire!

Amidst continuous explosions, gas waves swept in all directions, leveling all the broken walls and ruins to the ground!

Looking at his spine that disappeared in the explosion, Gong Shu Jin couldn’t help but feel his heart bleeding, roaring madly in his mind: “My Vajra Mystic Building.”

But remembering that by using his own spine as a life pile, he only obtained a third-place ranking, he couldn’t help but stare intently at the two remaining fortresses, as if wanting to clearly see what kind of earthwork skills they had used to stand firm until now!

Tu Li Shan’s gaze shifted slightly, and his eyes displayed Ji Yuan Shu’s construction records. Even the first time Tu Li Shan saw these records, he had been surprised!

And browsing them again at this moment, he couldn’t help but sigh again!

“Truly…” In the basement of the bunker within the verification records, Ji Yuan Shu’s corpse was sitting cross-legged!

“He actually buried himself inside, using his own corpse to suppress luck, gather spiritual energy, and strengthen the array to its limit!”

“No, it’s not just like this!”

“As early as when he was channeling the spiritual脉, he was already building the auspicious hole, planning to bury himself at that time!”

Tu Li Shan’s gaze swept over the broken walls and ruins, and the simulated spiritual脉 underground: “Initially, he only borrowed the auspicious hole and buried his corpse to suppress luck, occupying more spiritual energy within the spiritual脉!”

“But after each bunker collapsed, Ji Huan Shu’s bunker then gathered another share of spiritual energy!”

“This is the essence of the Finance System’s path of luck. With every additional share of resources, one can mobilize more resources, ultimately accumulating more and more, even mobilizing the great trends of the world…”

“By this moment, ninety percent of the spiritual energy in the simulated spiritual脉 has already gathered in Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker!”

Tu Li Shan looked towards the figure of Ji Yuan Shu outside the examination grounds!

At this moment, Ji Yuan Shu’s soul is preserved in the Spirit World, and what appears here is his Spirit World projection. However, although the surrounding disciples are accustomed to observing the world with their eyes, the vast majority did not discover this point!

At the same time, Tu Li Shan could still sense that the emergency team from the medical company was waiting outside the examination grounds…

A young doctor among them said: “Captain, how much longer do we have to wait!”

The leading doctor said faintly: “Wait until the examination ends before we can go in and save people!”

The young doctor said curiously: “Those who can afford to hire us, how could they die in the examination grounds?”

The leading doctor said casually: “For wealthy people, dying a few times a year is very normal. It’s not like the poor who can’t even afford to die!”

“As for our profession, we must remember, no matter how the client dies, just revive their physical body every time!”

Director Gao coldly looked at Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker, feeling the stability of the bunker and the array under the added luck!

Just at this moment, a proud voice came: “Old Gao, how is this student of mine mastering the path of luck?”

A Spirit World projection appeared before Tu Li Shan and Director Gao, precisely Director Lin, Ji Shu’s master and a representative of the Civil Engineering System’s Peace Faction!

Director Gao coldly glanced at the other party and said faintly: “It is not the orthodox way of our Civil Engineering System!”

Director Lin sighed: “What orthodox way is there in Civil Engineering? No matter how good your construction is, how carefully you choose materials, how clever your design, how can it compare to luck? How can you defy the will of heaven?”

“You must know that from ancient times to the present, even the most solid fortresses, impenetrable as gold soup, have perished in human disaster. Which one has truly been battered down?”

“No matter how refined your Civil Engineering is, if you don’t integrate Finance, if you don’t understand luck, in the end you will just be a stepping stone for others, used and then discarded!”

Director Gao snorted coldly and said: “The Finance System is just turning the world into one large casino. If everyone is gambling, who will truly build the Kun Xu Sect Gate? To build Kun Ru, to prosper Kun Ru, this is the strength of people!”

“You talk less of grand words to pressure me. Are you the one building Kun Ru? Or are you talking to me about grand trends? Where is the money? The grand trend is in whose hands!”

Director Lin let out a cold laugh and looked at the final two bunkers remaining on the site, saying faintly: “The excellent disciples under my door are more numerous than yours, the projects we have completed are more numerous than yours, the company’s bank loans are more numerous than yours. If the grand trend is not with me, with whom can it be?”

“Just like on this examination field now, all the spiritual energy is gathered at Ji Yuan Shu’s location. He is the clock of luck, the trendsetter!”

“How long can your Civil Engineering orthodox way withstand?”
