Having spoken his piece, Director Lin of the Peace Faction turned his head, no longer engaging in discourse with Director Gao of the War Faction.

His gaze settled upon the examination grounds in the distance. In his perception, countless spiritual machines from the vast underground were converging upon Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker. Under the absolute support of spiritual veins, and with the mighty swarm of spiritual machines, the array’s operation had reached its zenith. Furthermore, beneath the manifold blessings of the array’s power, one could still faintly discern the shimmer of light emanating from the bunker’s outer wall, like a protective force field enveloping the entire structure!

This not only rendered the bunker radiant but even after the sixth wave of attacks had ceased, the entire edifice, shielded by the array, appeared utterly unblemished. Amidst the ruins of the examination field, it resembled the sole sanctuary!

In stark contrast, the other side, where Zhang Yu’s bunker stood, suffered from the spiritual machines being largely occupied by Ji Yuan Shu. This rendered the operation of Zhang Yu’s bunker’s array far from smooth, its blessing upon the building as thin as paper! After enduring six waves of offensive strikes, though Zhang Yu’s bunker’s main structure remained intact, its surface was already covered in various scorch marks, explosions, and impact traces. The outermost layer of wall skin had all but peeled away! Compared to Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker, its exterior was like the difference between a beggar and a corporate elite!

Anyone witnessing this scene would inevitably feel that Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker’s construction quality far surpassed Zhang Yu’s, thus capable of enduring longer in the subsequent offensives!

Gong Shu Jin sighed inwardly, “The Finance Department truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three ace majors. Compared to the Civil Engineering Department, which is still figuring out how to exert brute force, the Finance Department has already completely surpassed us in strategy!”

“Toiling away on the construction site, how can that compare to overall resource allocation?”

Across the way, Ying Xin glanced at Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker, then back at Zhang Yu’s, secretly musing, “On one side is a construction site with sufficient funds and overtime pay, while the other side… looks like a project completed with engineering payments still owed!”

She thought to herself, “Victory and defeat are already decided!”

And just as everyone’s hearts were filled with similar thoughts, the seventh wave of the field’s offensive arrived! Only streaks of blue lightning flashed in the air! Even before the attack commenced, the free charges in the air sent a jolt of tingling through everyone in the Foundation Building realm! Students with strong perception could even sense powerful electromagnetic forces being unleashed from the ceiling more than ten meters high!

Gong Shu Jin mused, “Is this the power of the Yuan Magnetic Channel being mobilized? Indeed, this offensive grows stronger with each wave, and the gap between waves is widening, allowing for a more accurate distinction in students’ scores!”

“But this also means that the gap between the top students’ scores and others will be even larger; there won’t be a situation where a student scores 100 points simply because the total score is 100!”

“This wave of thunder methods will likely shatter Zhang Yu’s bunker as well!”

Just as Gong Shu Jin was lost in thought, streaks of thunder, bearing dazzling electric light like roots of thunder pillars, bombarded the two remaining bunkers! Amidst the crackling explosions, the piercing thunder light instantly engulfed the entire structure, making it impossible to discern the situation within!

When the thunder light gradually dissipated, the air was filled with the scorching smell of high temperature. The ground in the center of the examination field was already a charred black. Furthermore, large quantities of sand and soil had been transformed into a viscous liquid under the high temperature, which was now gradually cooling, forming a glass-like substance!

And Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker still stood amidst the high-temperature heat, appearing unharmed! But what surprised everyone was that Zhang Yu’s bunker, though its outer wall was covered in charred burn marks, also stood firm, maintaining its complete main structure!

Even when the eighth wave of offensive ended, accompanied by violent flashes of fire and explosions, then dissipated! A large section of the array’s fluorescent light on Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker’s outer wall was wiped out! And in the weakest point of the array’s power, a massive crack even emerged, vaguely revealing the bunker’s internal situation!

In contrast, Zhang Yu’s bunker, apart from increasingly black charred marks, actually suffered no further damage!

“What…” Gong Shu Jin stared at this scene in shock, “How is this possible?”

The bunker with a perfectly operating array was blown open with a crack! The bunker with an intermittently operating array, instead, was unharmed! Not only Gong Shu Jin, but almost all the students present found it difficult to comprehend how this scene had appeared!

Director Lin of the Peace Faction was also slightly startled, but unlike the students who were merely guessing in their hearts, his spiritual realm projection flickered slightly, and he had already arrived at the bunker built by Zhang Yu!

“This is…” Looking at the numerous additionally reinforced steel reinforced concrete pillars within the bunker, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a vague guess emerged in his heart! Without further observation, Director Lin waved his hand and mobilized the acceptance report for analysis! Originally, having observed the state of both sides’ array operation, Director Lin had believed that Ji Yuan Shu had already secured victory! But the situation at this moment made him realize that things were not that simple!

The next moment, rows of data, photos, image materials, and acceptance assessments for the bunker appeared before his eyes! Thirty layers of explosion-proof armor pouring! An isolation layer set up between the foundation and the rock body to reduce the transmission of explosion vibrations! Multi-level consumption of kinetic energy by sand, gravel, and alloy! Dense steel reinforced concrete pillars, multiple parallel load-bearing systems! And viscous resistance structures at key nodes to absorb explosion energy and further alleviate structural damage!

Looking at these rows of records, even Director Lin was slightly startled, “So many redundant structures?”

“In three hours! His construction volume is more than twice that of others!”

“This boy, is he relying on pure civil engineering skills to achieve this?”

Just at this moment, Director Gao’s figure appeared beside Director Lin, looking at the extremely solid bunker in front of him, he smiled slightly, “Director Lin, you also said, a truly impenetrable fortress, which one wasn’t broken from within?”

“In project matters, the Finance Department can perhaps stir up trouble, but in the examination field, only the cold steel reinforced and cement, ultimately, it is our civil engineering skills that count!”

Director Lin casually closed the floating data in front of him, and laughed coldly, “Director Gao, don’t be too happy too early!”

“This Zhang Yu’s construction efficiency is very impressive, but steel reinforced cement, even if it wins, has its limits, it will soon break through the fatigue limit!”

“And destiny’s blessing, the general trend, the gathering of spiritual machines, these are the forces of heaven and earth, that is infinite!”

His gaze seemed capable of penetrating heavy obstacles, seeing the bunker of Ji Yuan Shu on the other side! Only to see that under waves of spiritual vein infusion, the originally weakened array power was restored again, quickly reaching its peak!

“The array can once again restore to its peak, but can this bunker?”

Director Lin said meaningfully, “With money comes destiny, comes countless opportunities, otherwise, even if your technique is high, your steel reinforced hard, how many times can you afford to lose?” Director Gao looked at the other party unyieldingly, and said lightly, “No one can be undefeated forever, I only need to hold out until the end in this battle!”

“Alright then, let’s see who can stand to the end!”

Director Lin stared intensely at the other party! The intentions of both sides seemed to collide in the air at this moment, crossing multiple spiritual realms, stirring up ripples!

At the same time, the ninth wave of offensive had already descended from the sky! Streaks of Yin Thunder burst forth, bringing black and heavy thunder light sweeping in all directions! Under the impact of the thunder light, the array power outside Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker violently churned, layers of protection were disintegrated by the Yin Thunder, and the outer wall began to show signs of collapse!

And when the tenth wave of offensive, also the strongest wave, arrived, streaks of thunder dragons descended from the sky. The explosions, high temperatures, and electromagnetic forces they unleashed caused the students not far away to retreat continuously! Ji Yuan Shu’s bunker trembled even more violently, and ultimately collapsed under waves of tsunami-like shock waves! When the offensive had thoroughly ended, the original three-layer bunker was reduced to only the last layer!

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu’s bunker, except for a partial collapse on one side of the outer wall, the main structure remained intact and undamaged!

Looking at this scene, Director Lin’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed, “Even with more than twice the construction volume’s reinforcement, it’s impossible to achieve this extent, what exactly did he still do?” Only to see his heart move, and Zhang Yu’s construction records already appeared before his eyes!

Director Gao smiled slightly, and instructed Tu Li Shan, “Bring the students on site for a proper look, let them learn!”

Under Tu Li Shan’s guidance, Gong Shu Jin, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, Yu Xing Han, and others all walked into the examination field! Stepping on the still scorching hot ground, they slowly walked to the front of the bunker built by Zhang Yu! Upon seeing the large amount of redundant structures inside, Gong Shu Jin said in surprise, “In just three short hours, he did so many things!”

Tu Li Shan said, “This is where classmate Zhang Yu is impressive!”

“Today, I brought you in to see his work, to let you know the true gap between you and him!”

As he spoke, he lightly tapped his fingertip, and a video already appeared in front of everyone! For the sake of subsequent acceptance, recording, and supervision, the entire process of every examinee’s exam in the examination field would be filmed and recorded! And the video currently playing was exactly Zhang Yu’s construction process!

If seeing those streaks of human-shaped gang qi running back and forth, like an entire construction team working, only slightly surprised the students, then the words Tu Li Shan said next made them feel a trace of shock!

Only to hear Tu Li Shan say lightly, “Zhang Yu constructed like this, always maintaining it for three hours!”

Thinking of the scenes where Zhang Yu took medicine again during the construction process, Tu Li Shan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, “This kind of drug absorption power, carrying power, and strong physique that can be repeatedly squeezed! Truly a born civil engineering holy body!”

His thoughts flashed by, and Tu Li Shan continued, “Of course, relying on these alone, it’s still impossible to hold out against 10 waves of attacks!”

“The key to his ability to do this lies in the building materials!”
