“Li Xiao…” Tu Lishan gestured towards the outer wall of the fortress before them, urging Li Xiao to attack.

Li Xiao responded with a single palm strike, and a roaring surge of Gang Qi erupted like cannon fire, slamming heavily against the wall. Yet, not only did the outer wall remain unmoved, but Li Xiao himself felt a potent counter-shock force, stumbling back several steps. He gazed at the fortress wall with astonishment.

“After so many strikes, it’s still this solid,” Li Xiao exclaimed. “What material is this?”

“This is something Zhang Yu digested,” Tu Lishan said, pointing at the entire fortress before them. He sighed, “The building materials for this whole fort are mostly things he digested!”

He then pointed to a small section of the wall’s inner surface with uneven patterns. “Look closely, everyone. These are the patterns from Zhang Yu’s stomach. They’re left behind during the material processing, marks of his digestion, caused by the intense squeezing within his stomach!”

“Furthermore, beyond the Gang Qi employed in construction, Zhang Yu’s main body utilized a high-temperature, high-pressure internal environment to repeatedly temper the building materials!”

“He stripped away the impurities in the materials, leaving only the hard-to-digest essence, forming high-strength materials to build these structures!”

“And he continuously digested throughout the entire three-hour process!”

Upon hearing this, Gongshujin was inwardly astonished. Recalling Zhang Yu’s prodigious appetite displayed during previous gatherings, he secretly thought, *’Zhang Yu’s digestive ability is even more terrifying than I initially estimated. He can actually achieve this?’*

On the other side, Li Xiao’s heart trembled upon hearing this, then surged with shock. “The building materials used for this fort were… expelled by Zhang Yu? While constructing, he was also expelling for three hours?”

Meanwhile, Director Lin, reviewing the construction records, watched as Zhang Yu largely swallowed building materials, continuously expelling impurities, and finally spitting out the most solid, essential, and hard-to-digest parts. His expression grew deeply complex.

This structure before them not only relied on powerful construction abilities and thorough reinforcement but also surpassed all other examinees in its building materials!

Simultaneously, beside Director Lin, Director Gao of the Martial Faction, observing the pillars before them, spoke lightly, “Civil engineering, ultimately, the most crucial elements are materials and technology!”

“Without sufficiently powerful materials, without truly ingenious technology, how could we have the current prosperous era of Kun Ru?”

“Just consider the university city beneath our feet. If this were a thousand years ago, even with immense wealth, even if you could gather the world’s resources, could it have been built?”

Not just Li Xiao, but the other students on site, watching the video footage of Zhang Yu, were all plunged into profound shock!

Ying Xin even pointed out Li Xiao’s mistake. “Not just three hours of expelling!”

“Zhang Yu was eating and expelling simultaneously, combined with high-intensity construction, for a full three hours. This elevated the quality of this fort to another dimension!”

Tu Lishan reminded them, “Do not use the word ‘expel’. What Comrade Zhang Yu is doing is transportation. He is transporting the building materials from the storage location into his belly, and then transporting them from his belly to the construction site!”

“In short, Comrade Zhang Yu’s performance today is a victory across all aspects: digestive ability, construction ability, physical foundation, and professional skill!”

Li Xiao knew that Tu Lishan was correct. Achieving even one of these abilities to such a degree was impossible for him, yet Zhang Yu had achieved each one to a level surpassing all students present!

Sensing the gazes of the crowd—whether of shock, awe, envy, or jealousy—Zhang Yu silently activated the camera function within his eye shells, recording this scene.

Especially Ji Yuanshu’s unsightly expression, which made him couldn’t help but take a few extra shots!

On the other side, listening to Director Gao’s words, Director Lin of the Peace Faction coldly snorted and said, “Whether materials or civil engineering, they are important on this construction site!”

“But even if you or I don’t do it, are we lacking people who will?”

“Yes, you are not wrong. A thousand years ago, the current university city could indeed not be built!”

“But those who could dispatch heavenly amounts of wealth and gather the world’s resources a thousand years ago, which one of them is not still living now? Technology, materials, all results will ultimately belong to them!”

Listening to the other’s response, a ripple surged in the array within Director Gao’s robe. He said irritably, “Stubborn fool. Did you not see the battle today, where Zhang Yu relied on his genuine strength, with solid foundation and hard-fought skill, to directly defeat Ji Yuanshu?”

“Heh, you think Zhang Yu’s performance counts as genuine strength?” Director Lin lightly smiled. “Old Gao, your age is not great, but your heart is truly too old!”

“Listen to what these students are saying!”

A student from the Foundation Class could be heard saying, “Although Zhang Yu defeated Ji Yuanshu this time, he didn’t spend any money. It always feels like his confidence is insufficient, not lasting, not true hard strength!”

Another student said, “In terms of foundation, Zhang Yu was indeed a bit lacking, but ultimately, he won today. This year’s class top spot is probably his!”

Director Lin said, “Did you hear? Money is the ultimate path, the true hard strength. Your set of ideas is already outdated. If you continue to cling to them, you will be eliminated sooner or later!”

Director Gao said disdainfully, “Heh, in short, in this round, no matter how much you talk, Zhang Yu has won!”

Speaking to this point, the two paused slightly, for the final grades and comprehensive point settlement had already been released!

With the authority of these two directors, they could naturally view the specific scores and rankings in the background at the first instant.

In an instant, Director Lin’s face slightly stiffened, while the smile on Director Gao’s face deepened. “Ji Yuanshu, if he had focused on his own professional content, perhaps he would not have lost!”

“But he lost now, and he lost while studying finance, betting on fate. Thus, he lost even worse!”

“Just like what you are doing now, have you considered the consequences once you lose?”

Looking at the final rankings, Director Lin coldly snorted, saying nothing. His spirit world projection then directly dissipated.

Director Gao looked in the direction the other had disappeared, the cold intent in his gaze growing heavier, but after a moment, he slowly retracted it.

Then, he looked towards Zhang Yu’s direction and smiled slightly. “Didn’t think everyone looked down on you, yet you strove the hardest!”

For the competition between Zhang Yu and Ji Yuanshu, Director Gao originally held no confidence. Yet, he didn’t expect the other to give him such a big surprise in the end!

“Zhang Yu’s physical investment can be followed up!”

“Just right, according to the previous agreement, take him as a registered disciple!”

“And the Tian Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power!”

Thinking to this point, Director Gao’s heart flashed with the figure of Gongshujin!

Originally, the Martial Faction planned to cultivate the next successor to the Tian Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, and that was Gongshujin!

But at this moment, Zhang Yu’s performance had clearly completely surpassed Gongshujin!

“Then let’s just change Gongshujin to him! Then give him a little push, and see if this kid can obtain the military certificate!”

Outside the examination field, as the exam completely concluded, the field blockade was lifted, and the medical team stationed at the outer ring immediately rushed in!

They skillfully located the corpse, set up a cordon, and then, while projecting advertisements, began on-site treatment!

“Still worried about Qi Deviation?”

“Still worried about accidentally sudden death during overtime, delaying work?”

Want to bet your life in key exams, go all out, with no regrets?

Seeing the medical team begin excavating the fort to retrieve Ji Yuanshu’s corpse for rescue, many students showed surprised expressions!

Ren Xin Medical, let you die when you want to die, truly achieve death freedom!

Someone understood a little after seeing the advertisement, then inwardly clicked their tongue!

Such an expensive service!

Someone thought to themselves, *’Ji Yuanshu actually called the Death Revival Medical Team? He’s so rich.’*

Someone looking at Ji Yuanshu’s corpse only felt, *’As expected of a rich person. His appearance while being revived is so handsome, truly a heroic figure!’* And Ji Yuanshu, transformed into a spirit world projection, was similarly watching this scene!

According to his original plan, he would bravely seize the top spot in the entire field, then the medical team would enter, and then he would be dug out of his corpse under the attention of ten thousand people, dying and reviving!

At that moment, people’s hearts would be attached to him, he would not only become the expected first, but his fate would surge even more violently!

But at this moment, everything was completely different from what he had imagined!

Ji Yuanshu felt his dug-out corpse, just like a stepping stone, heavily stepped under Zhang Yu’s feet!

This was because numerous students gradually realized the cause of Ji Yuanshu’s death!

Ying Xin, looking at Ji Yuanshu’s dug-out corpse, was inwardly shocked. “Ji Yuanshu! He actually used human sacrifice? Bet his own life—Zhang Yu won over Ji Yuanshu’s life?”

Ying Xin quickly calculated in his heart. “Ji Yuanshu’s comprehensive points before this exam were higher than Zhang Yu’s! But according to the gap in this exam, it seems Zhang Yu surpassing Ji Yuanshu is not without opportunity!”

On the other side, Gongshujin was similarly greatly shocked looking at Zhang Yu. “Ji Yuanshu gambled one life, and still didn’t win against Zhang Yu? It’s just unknown whether Zhang Yu’s ranking will exceed Ji Yuanshu’s after the comprehensive points for this exam are calculated. If Tu Lishan’s original analysis made the crowd realize how strong Zhang Yu was, then at this moment, after Ji Yuanshu’s corpse was dug out, numerous students further felt Zhang Yu’s power!”

At the same time, a flash of electric light flickered over Ji Yuanshu’s body, and he gradually recovered his heartbeat and blood flow!

Following that, his brain also resumed function!

Then, the divine soul in his spirit world was also re-guided back to his corpse!

Looking at Ji Yuanshu opening his eyes, the leading doctor smiled. “Mr. Ji, welcome back!”

We will now test your consciousness recovery situation!

Without responding to the other, in the first instant of consciousness recovery, Ji Yuanshu felt the fate accumulated in his sea of consciousness surge violently, like boiling magma, wanting to erupt from his body! Barely using the copper coin treasure within his sea of consciousness to temporarily suppress his fate, Ji Yuanshu’s face grew even more hideous!

He knew very clearly that once the comprehensive points and ranking list were updated tonight, as long as his ranking fell behind Zhang Yu’s, he would face extremely violent fate backlash!

On the other side, Zhang Yu, looking at Yu Xinghan beside him, patted the other’s shoulder and said, “Xinghan, what happened to you?”

Yu Xinghan said, “Zhang Yu, I! I! I am truly damn happy for you!”
