“Li Xiao…” Tuli Shan gestured for Li Xiao to attack the bunker wall in front of them.

Li Xiao struck out with his palm, and the whistling qi energy, like booming cannon fire, slammed into the wall.

However, the outer wall remained completely unshaken. Instead, Li Xiao felt a strong recoil force, causing him to stumble back several steps, his eyes wide with surprise as he stared at the bunker wall.

“After so many attacks, it’s still so sturdy?” Li Xiao exclaimed in shock. “What kind of material is this?”

“This is Zhang Yu’s digested material,” Tuli Shan said, pointing to the entire bunker in front of them and sighing with emotion. “Most of the construction material for this entire bunker consists of his digested matter.”

He then pointed to a small patch of uneven texture on the inner wall, saying, “Look, these are Zhang Yu’s stomach patterns. They are marks left by the intense squeezing of his stomach during the material processing, a trace of his digestion.”

“Besides the use of qi energy in construction, Zhang Yu’s main contribution was repeatedly refining the building materials within the high-temperature, high-pressure environment of his own body.”

“He stripped away impurities from the materials, leaving only the hard-to-digest essence to form high-strength materials for building the structure.”

“The entire process involved him continuously digesting for a full three hours.”

Gongshu Jin was utterly astonished by this revelation. Recalling Zhang Yu’s impressive appetite during a previous gathering, he thought to himself, “Zhang Yu’s digestive ability is even more terrifying than I’d estimated. How could he achieve something like this?”

Meanwhile, Li Xiao’s heart pounded, and his face paled in shock. “The building materials for this bunker… were they defecated by Zhang Yu? He was building and defecating for three hours at the same time?!”

On the other side, Director Lin looked at the construction records, observing Zhang Yu’s massive intake of building materials, his continuous expulsion of impurities, and finally, his regurgitation of the strongest, most essential, and most indigestible parts. His expression became very complex.

This building was not merely fortified comprehensively through powerful construction techniques; it also surpassed all other test-takers in terms of its building materials.

At the same time, beside Director Lin, Director Gao of the War Faction looked at the pillars before them and said calmly, “In civil engineering, the most crucial elements are ultimately materials and technology.”

“Without sufficiently strong materials and truly ingenious technology, how could we have the current prosperous era of Kunxu?”

“Take this university city beneath our feet, for instance. A thousand years ago, no matter how much money you had or how many resources you gathered from across the land, could you have built it?”

It wasn’t just Li Xiao who was stunned; the other students present, watching Zhang Yu in the video, were all plunged into deep shock.

Ying Xin even pointed out Li Xiao’s mistake: “It wasn’t just three hours of defecation.”

“Zhang Yu was eating and excreting continuously, combined with high-intensity construction, for a full three hours, elevating the quality of this bunker to another dimension.”

Tuli Shan reminded them, “Don’t use the word ‘defecate.’ What student Zhang Yu did was still transportation—moving materials from the storage location into his stomach, and then from his stomach to the construction site.”

“In short, student Zhang Yu’s performance today was a comprehensive victory in terms of digestive ability, construction skill, physical foundation, and professional competence.”

Li Xiao knew Tuli Shan was right. He couldn’t achieve even one of those abilities, yet Zhang Yu had performed each of them at a level far surpassing all the students present.

Feeling the gazes of shock, awe, envy, or jealousy from the crowd, Zhang Yu silently activated the camera function of his eye-skull and recorded the scene.

He couldn’t resist taking a few extra shots, especially of Ji Yuanxu’s grim expression.

Meanwhile, listening to Director Gao, Director Lin of the Peace Faction snorted coldly and said, “Materials and civil engineering are indeed very important on this construction site.”

“But even if you or I don’t do it, won’t there still be someone else to do it?”

“Yes, you’re right, this university city couldn’t have been built a thousand years ago.”

“But who among those who could command vast wealth and gather resources from across the land a thousand years ago isn’t still alive today? Whether it’s technology or materials, all achievements will ultimately belong to them.”

Upon hearing the reply, Director Gao’s projected Daoist robe seemed to ripple with agitation, and he angrily retorted, “Obstinate! Haven’t you seen that in today’s battle, Zhang Yu directly defeated Ji Yuanxu relying on his sheer brute strength?”

“Heh? Do you think that counts as true strength for Zhang Yu?” Director Lin chuckled lightly. “Old Gao, you’re not that old, but your mindset is truly ancient.”

“Listen to what those students are saying.”

A student from the Foundation Establishment class was heard saying, “Although Zhang Yu defeated Ji Yuanxu this time, he didn’t spend much money. It just feels like he lacks backing, it’s not sustainable, and it’s not true hard power.”

Another student added, “In terms of background, Zhang Yu is indeed a bit lacking, but ultimately he won today, and he might even be the top student in the class this year.”

Director Lin said, “Did you hear that? Money is king, it’s the real hard power. Your way of thinking is long outdated. If you cling to it, you’ll be eliminated sooner or later.”

Director Gao dismissed him with a scoff, “Heh, no matter what more you say, Zhang Yu won this round…”

At this point, both men paused slightly because the final exam results and overall scores had just been released.

With their authority as directors, they could naturally see the specific scores and rankings in the backend immediately.

In an instant, Director Lin’s expression stiffened slightly, while the smile on Director Gao’s face deepened. “Ji Yuanxu might not have lost if he had focused on his main profession.”

“But he lost now, and he lost after studying finance concurrently and gambling his luck, so his defeat is even more devastating.”

“It’s like what you’re doing now. Have you considered the consequences if you lose?”

Looking at the final exam rankings, Director Lin snorted coldly, said nothing, and his spiritual realm projection dissipated directly.

Director Gao watched the direction where the other man had vanished, the coldness in his eyes intensifying, but then slowly receding a moment later.

Then he looked in Zhang Yu’s direction and smiled faintly. “I never thought everyone looked down on you, but you turned out to be the most impressive.”

Director Gao hadn’t held much confidence regarding the competition between Zhang Yu and Ji Yuanxu, so he was surprised when Zhang Yu delivered such a big surprise at the end of the semester.

“We can increase our investment in Zhang Yu.”

“It’s a good time to take him as a named disciple, as previously agreed.”

“And the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power…”

At this thought, the image of Gongshu Jin flashed through Director Gao’s mind.

Originally, the War Faction intended to train Gongshu Jin as the next inheritor of the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power.

But at this moment, Zhang Yu’s performance had clearly surpassed Gongshu Jin’s entirely.

“Then let’s replace Gongshu Jin with him.”

“Let’s give him another push and see if this kid can get a military license.”

Outside the examination hall, as the test officially concluded, the site lockdown was lifted, and the medical team waiting on the periphery immediately rushed in.

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

“Still worried about qi deviation?”

“Still worried about accidentally dying suddenly during overtime and delaying your work?”

“Do you want to stake your life, give your all, and leave no regrets in a crucial exam?”

“Benevolent Heart Medical: Let you die when you want, achieving complete freedom of death.”

As the medical team began excavating the bunker, pulling out Ji Yuanxu’s corpse for rescue, many students looked surprised.

Someone looked at the advertisement, learned more, and then gasped in their mind, “What an expensive service.”

Someone else thought, “Ji Yuanxu actually called the ‘Did He Die’ Medical Team? He’s so rich!”

Someone else looked at Ji Yuanxu’s corpse and thought, “As expected of a rich person, he looks so handsome being resurrected! Truly magnificent and spirited.”

Meanwhile, Ji Yuanxu, in his spiritual realm projection, was also watching this scene.

According to his original plan, after bravely claiming first place, the medical team would enter, excavate his body under everyone’s gaze, and he would be resurrected from the dead.

At that moment, everyone’s hearts would turn to him; he would not only become the undisputed number one, but his luck would also surge even more intensely.

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

Ji Yuanxu felt as if his excavated corpse was a mere stepping stone, being trampled fiercely under Zhang Yu’s feet.

This was because many students gradually realized the cause of Ji Yuanxu’s death.

Ying Xin looked at Ji Yuanxu’s excavated corpse, shocked. “Ji Yuanxu… he actually used a human sacrifice? He staked his own life? Did Zhang Yu win against Ji Yuanxu’s life?”

Ying Xin quickly calculated in her mind: “Ji Yuanxu’s overall score before this exam was higher than Zhang Yu’s. But judging by the disparity in this exam… it seems Zhang Yu might have a chance to surpass Ji Yuanxu.”

On the other side, Gongshu Jin also looked at Zhang Yu in great shock. “Ji Yuanxu gambled a life and still didn’t win against Zhang Yu? I wonder if Zhang Yu’s ranking will surpass Ji Yuanxu’s once the overall scores for this exam are calculated.”

If Tuli Shan’s previous analysis had made everyone realize Zhang Yu was strong,

then at this moment, with Ji Yuanxu’s corpse being excavated, the students felt Zhang Yu’s power even more profoundly.

Concurrently, a flash of electric light coursed through Ji Yuanxu’s body, and his heartbeat and blood flow gradually resumed.

His brain immediately began functioning again.

Then, his divine soul from the spiritual realm was guided back into his body.

Seeing Ji Yuanxu’s open eyes, the lead doctor smiled and said, “Mr. Ji, welcome back.”

“We will now test the recovery of your consciousness…”

Ignoring the doctor, the moment Ji Yuanxu’s consciousness returned, he felt the accumulated luck in his mind violently churning, like boiling magma, desperate to erupt from within him.

Barely managing to temporarily suppress the surging luck with the copper coin artifact in his mind, Ji Yuanxu’s expression grew even grimmer.

He knew very well… that once the overall scores and rankings were updated tonight, if his ranking fell behind Zhang Yu’s, he would face an incredibly violent backlash of luck.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan beside him, patted his shoulder, and asked, “Xinghan, what’s wrong?”

Yu Xinghan replied, “Zhang Yu, I… I… I’m really damn happy for you!”
