“Just holding me is fine.”

Hearing Bai Zhenzhen’s words, a hint of surprise rose in Zhang Yu’s heart: “What does Zhenzhen mean by this?”
He remembered that when they met at Ten Thousand Dharma University last year, she had immediately embraced him and couldn’t wait to transfer the Divine Spirit Root.
Why now?
Zhang Yu wondered, “Is someone still watching us?”

Just then, Fu Ji said, “Zhenzhen wants me to tell you that Sky Sword University’s spiritual realm surveillance is highly advanced. The transfer of the Divine Spirit Root cannot be done carelessly.”
“At this very moment, the Seven Emotions Divine Lord might still be watching you! And Wen Wuya, who just left, might also be continuing to track us!”

Zhang Yu understood that, as fellow believers of Fu Ji, he and Bai Zhenzhen could communicate directly with Fu Ji through their thoughts within a certain distance.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen was clearly using this method to send him a message.
Hearing Fu Ji’s words, and realizing that the Seven Emotions Divine Lord might be watching, Zhang Yu was immediately startled. Even the Divine Spirit Root, which had been stirring, instantly retreated back into his Dantian.

Zhang Yu understood deeply that neither the transfer of the Divine Spirit Root nor his own possession of it could ever be revealed to outsiders.
Bai Zhenzhen nodded towards Zhang Yu and said, “It’s rare for you to visit Sky Sword University, let me show you around!”
So, Zhang Yu allowed Bai Zhenzhen to hold his hand and lead him outside.

The two walked along a tunnel, emerged from the mountain, and arrived at the flying sword temporary stop at the peak. With their backs to each other, looking out at the warehouse of Sky Sword University’s underground factory below, Zhang Yu strongly embraced Bai Zhenzhen and walked into a dark alley next to the used flying sword market. They pressed closely against each other…

After continuously changing locations and leaning against each other in various poses, Bai Zhenzhen repeatedly stopped Zhang Yu from making any further moves.
Bai Zhenzhen frowned, a hint of helplessness appearing in her eyes.

Fu Ji said, “She says it’s still not possible; the Seven Emotions Divine Lord might be watching constantly!”
“Wen Wuya might also not have given up tracking us. The surveillance here at Sky Sword University is too tight; it’s probably impossible to evade it!”
“She even thinks that besides the Seven Emotions Divine Lord and Wen Wuya, quite a few people at Sky Sword University seem to be paying attention to you and her!”

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly upon hearing this. He touched his Dantian and thought, “Still not possible?”
“Sky Sword University… it looks more ethereal than Ten Thousand Dharma University, but its surveillance seems even more pervasive!”
“And the attention on Bai Zhenzhen and me seems particularly intense!”

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu felt like two small insects on a chessboard, under the scrutiny of a spotlight, unable to create the slightest stir no matter how hard they tried.
And the Divine Spirit Root, which could originally move freely between them, now seemed to be bound by countless shackles, unable to find any possibility of transfer.

Bai Zhenzhen smiled and looked at Zhang Yu, saying, “Yu Zi, it’s almost time for your competition, isn’t it?”
“Time is too tight this time. Next time I go to Ten Thousand Dharma University, let’s explore and have fun together properly!”
Zhang Yu looked into Bai Zhenzhen’s eyes, already sensing her intention. He nodded and firmly said, “Okay!”

At the same time, Zhang Yu felt the Divine Spirit Root in his Dantian tremble slightly again.
In fact, throughout their time together, Zhang Yu had felt his Azure Lotus Sword Embryo Divine Spirit Root growing increasingly restless, as if it had an urge to rush into Bai Zhenzhen’s body.
And at this very moment, Bai Zhenzhen also felt the restlessness of her own Divine Spirit Root within her Dantian.
The constantly vibrating Divine Spirit Root seemed ready to emerge with just a thought, eager to dart towards Zhang Yu’s body before her.
Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “You, why are you so eager to rush into Zhang Yu’s body?”
The two could only suppress the agitation of the Divine Spirit Roots within them.

Zhang Yu’s gaze suddenly shifted, and he said, “Zhenzhen, come watch my competition later!”
Bai Zhenzhen nodded and replied, “Of course, I’ll definitely watch!”
Fu Ji then told Bai Zhenzhen, “Zhang Yu wants me to tell you to find him immediately after the competition; he might have a solution.”

Outside the Civil Engineering Competition arena!
Shi Huaiyu sent a message, urging Zhang Yu.
She worried, “Has something happened to Zhang Yu? The competition is about to start, why isn’t he here yet?”
Su Yanyang waved his hand and said, “He’s a sensible person; nothing will happen to him!”
He secretly thought, “Wen Wuya is at Sky Sword University; what could possibly go wrong?”
Just then, Xiao Yunji’s gaze shifted, and he said, “He’s here!”

With a booming explosion!
White air currents burst open in the distant sky.
And Zhang Yu, propelled by the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, appeared above everyone in an instant, then gently floated down.

Across from Ten Thousand Dharma University, Yue Guanqun, also waiting for the competition to begin, slightly raised his head and looked at the descending Zhang Yu. He thought, “His Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power is indeed more profound than what he displayed last time!”
“It seems Wen Wuya’s information was accurate; this guy gained cultivation during the Yin artifact experiment!”
“However… regarding his Dharma Bones, aside from the eye bone, the rest are still in a pure physical state!”

Sword qi surged within Yue Guanqun’s body, yet no tension was visible on his face.
After all, although Zhang Yu’s cultivation had increased, he hadn’t yet advanced the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power to level 20. Furthermore, there was a significant gap in Dharma Bones between them, like a gamer starting with several fewer equipment slots.
In contrast, Yue Guanqun was not only well-prepared but also possessed a former military-grade flying sword supported by Wen Wuya.
“With just Zhang Yu, victory is within my grasp!”
“The biggest threat in this battle is whether Mo Shangjin will rejoin!”

Thinking this, Yue Guanqun looked at the Ten Thousand Dharma University team members and asked, “Where is Mo Shangjin? Isn’t he participating in this battle?”
Zhang Yu turned his head, smiled at Yue Guanqun, and said, “Classmate, are you very familiar with Senior Brother Mo?”

Yue Guanqun scoffed upon hearing this, recalling his defeat last year, and the sight of his flying sword being shattered and its spirit humiliated. A trace of resentment unconsciously crept into his tone.
“Familiar? I’m *very* familiar with Mo Shangjin!”
Yue Guanqun said through gritted teeth, “I’ve always looked forward to fighting him again. Are you not participating?”

Facing Yue Guanqun’s probing, Zhang Yu naturally didn’t give a definitive answer, merely saying casually, “Who knows? None of us know Senior Brother Mo’s condition! Perhaps his injuries have healed, and he could enter the field at any time!”

Yue Guanqun snorted coldly in his heart, thinking, “He’s deliberately bringing up Mo Shangjin to make me think Mo Shangjin might be a substitute!”
“Does he believe this will make me hold back in the competition, making me afraid to use my full power to guard against Mo Shangjin?”
“But even without using my full strength, I’m enough to defeat all of you one by one!”

On the other side, Zhang Yu asked in the competition chat group, “Senior Brother Mo, this person seems to have a strong opinion of you.”
Mo Shangjin replied, “It’s well-known that many students at Sky Sword University cherish their flying swords.”
Mo Shangjin continued, “And Yue Guanqun is particularly petty!”
Mo Shangjin added, “Last year when we fought, I accidentally damaged his flying sword.”
Mo Shangjin concluded, “I already apologized to him, but he wouldn’t let it go and kept sending me private messages, cursing me!”

Li Zhen, who had been Mo Shangjin’s teammate for the past few years, secretly thought, “You didn’t ‘accidentally’ damage it!”
Immediately afterward, the competition officially began. Both teams entered the arena and went to their respective construction sites.

As the countdown ended, magical energy vibrated and aura surged into the sky. Everyone on the field simultaneously activated their powers and began their respective actions.
Rolling sand and mud shot skyward. With the cooperation of Shi Huaiyu, Su Yanyang, and others, the ground continuously shifted, changed, and formed in waves, rapidly beginning the construction of a magic array.
At the same time, from the direction of Sky Sword University’s formation, streaks of sword qi shot into the sky, and large pieces of stone floated up, as if forming various small floating islands, rising into the air above the competition arena.

Zhang Yu’s gaze narrowed at this sight, knowing it was the method of Sky Sword University’s Civil Engineering department.
Unlike the civil engineering departments of many other universities, Sky Sword University’s department was established purely to serve the university itself.
The campus they stood on, this entire Sky Sword University situated high in the clouds, was partly thanks to the efforts of its Civil Engineering department.
Creating floating islands and airborne structures had always been the most proficient technique of Sky Sword University’s Civil Engineering department.

And just as everyone simultaneously activated their powers, Zhang Yu naturally surged forward first!
Propelled by the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, he moved like a rainbow piercing the sun, leaving a series of sonic booms in his wake. Accelerating continuously, he rapidly charged towards Sky Sword University’s position. In just a single breath, he was confident he could bring their construction site within his attack range and utterly overturn it with the Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power!

But in the next moment, streaks of lightning flashed across the sky!
Then, amidst a series of air explosions, Zhang Yu felt faint shadows brush past him, shooting towards his back.
“This is…”
Zhang Yu looked at his falling hair, his heart stirring slightly, and the attack record of the Thunder Suppression Seal appeared in his eye bone.
The Thunder Suppression Seal was a magic artifact Zhang Yu had recently refined, specifically for dealing with flying swords.
And it was precisely the Thunder Suppression Seal that had just been triggered, using lightning to deflect the incoming flying swords!

Meanwhile, Ying Xin’s Grandfather, who was assisting in controlling the Thunder Suppression Seal, sent a message: “They are just ‘nails,’ but because they’re too small and fast, they’re hard to detect with the naked eye!”
Ying Xin’s Grandfather: “It’s Sky Sword University’s Great Freedom Instant Hell Sword Qi.”
Ying Xin’s Grandfather: “Be careful, it’s coming again.”

At the same time, on the other side, Yue Guanqun sensed Zhang Yu sprinting towards him at high speed. His aura swept over a row of steel bars in front of him, instantly transforming them into a pile of metal fragments on the ground.
Yue Guanqun calmly thought, “Just as Wen Wuya requested, I’ll gradually increase the pressure on you and force out all your hidden power!”
“That way, by the end, I can suppress you in one go, and even if Mo Shangjin tries to rejoin, it will be too late!”
As sword qi surged, the fragments of steel bars, like a metallic storm, carried sharp energies and shot towards Zhang Yu like thousands of meteors falling to the earth!
