An Zhen Zhenjun watched the battle unfold on the live stream, thinking to himself, “Zhang Yu actually took the initiative to confront Kuang Tianqing? Is he trying to get more screen time?”

“It’s a bold choice, but also very dangerous.”

An Zhen Zhenjun knew that if Zhang Yu performed well and managed to hold off Kuang Tianqing, even if only for a short period, he would receive excellent evaluations, tremendous popularity, and traffic, even if he ended up severely wounded.

“This can be considered the advantage of the weak. Against an opponent like Kuang Tianqing, as long as it’s not a complete defeat, there will be gains.”

“For top students like Kuang Tianqing, if they don’t achieve a quick victory against a weaker opponent, people will lower their assessment of her.”

“However… for Zhang Yu, there are also huge risks involved.”

An Zhen Zhenjun knew that if Zhang Yu didn’t just suffer a miserable defeat, but was wantonly toyed with by Kuang Tianqing, he would become a complete joke, the clown of today’s battlefield.

Things like being forced to kneel by Kuang Tianqing, having insulting words or marks left on his body, being forcibly cultivated by a Shi Mo or Yao Yi, having a Mo Tai injected into his body, or even more embarrassing situations…

“Those students from Tian Mo University are very skilled at humiliating and playing with opponents to boost their own popularity and suppress the opponent’s Xian Dao potential.”

“Conversely, the humiliated person, despite gaining immense popularity and dirty traffic, will only be repeatedly dissected by various critical media, earning no money themselves, and instead completely ruining their reputation, making their path to Xian Dao difficult.”

At the same time, countless viewers watching the live stream had similar thoughts to An Zhen Zhenjun.

In their eyes, Zhang Yu’s outcome at this moment could only be one of two things:

A miserable defeat!

Or a miserable defeat coupled with severe humiliation!

Director Gao watched the live stream, his heart tightening, a wave of worry rising within him, like a cherished sapling about to face a fierce storm.

Ciji Zhenjun received a notification from his Qi Ling and frowned as he saw Kuang Tianqing and Zhang Yu on the screen: “What are Dao Qiankun and the others doing? Why is it Zhang Yu’s turn to deal with Kuang Tianqing?”

At the construction site, Yu Xinghan, who was massaging Shi Huaiyu, grew nervous, unconsciously increasing the pressure in his hands.

Meanwhile, it wasn’t just countless live stream viewers who knew that Zhang Yu was fighting Kuang Tianqing.

Jiu Tianliu, who was currently locked in fierce combat with a student from the financial department, also frowned as he saw the video footage displayed in his eye socket.

“Zhang Yu is fighting Kuang Tianqing?” A hint of doubt flashed through Jiu Tianliu’s mind: “How much money did that kid take? Is he really that desperate?”

The video Jiu Tianliu saw was one Zhang Yu had posted in the Four Schools Group.

Zhang Yu: I found Kuang Tianqing

Ye Xingli quickly messaged Zhang Yu: Flee towards me, forget about the captives.

In the eyes of many students in the Four Schools Group, Zhang Yu was already a dead man. They merely marked Zhang Yu’s position and began to speculate and discuss Kuang Tianqing’s next moves.

Meanwhile, the person directly confronting Kuang Tianqing on the front line… was not just Zhang Yu.

Zhao Tianxing felt the terrifying oppressive force emanating from Kuang Tianqing, his mind blank, extremely nervous.

“I… I’m just a vocational college student, how did I get to this point? How am I supposed to fight the strongest opponent from the ten schools?”

Hu Yuntao only felt his thoughts speeding up and slowing down with the agitation of his emotions, and the whole world seemed to turn illusory.

“Don’t be nervous, everyone! Let’s… let’s… bloody fight!”

Sensing the tense atmosphere in the air, Zhang Yu looked at Kuang Tianqing and calmly said, “I’ve been looking for an opportunity, looking for your weakness, looking for a… domain where I can defeat you…”

But before Zhang Yu could say more, Kuang Tianqing had already transformed into a blur, directly shooting in front of Zhang Yu.

The two collided like two meteors, and the fierce battle erupted.

“Hmph, trying to say more during the live stream?” Kuang Tianqing sneered to herself: “Why should I give you more screen time?”

Of course, in addition to this reason, Kuang Tianqing also understood that Dao Qiankun and other opponents might arrive at any time, so she had to defeat her opponent as quickly as possible.

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly: “This guy just spouted a bunch of words to show off, and now it’s my turn and she won’t let me speak? Is she really that afraid of others leeching off her traffic?”

Zhang Yu naturally wouldn’t follow Kuang Tianqing’s rhythm. He knew that their encounter was about seizing control of the battle’s rhythm.

Moreover, to devour the opponent’s popularity and traffic in this battle, he absolutely had to speak.

In fact, sometimes speaking was even more important than the battle itself.

As Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing fiercely battled, Zhang Yu spoke through the Ling Jie, leaving lines of text projections in the air.

“Kuang Tianqing, you use illusions to traverse the battlefield, controlling the rhythm of the entire battle. You not only maximize the strength of every teammate, but even guide the opponent’s rhythm, trying to bring everything under your control.”

“But to achieve this, you have deployed all the forces on the battlefield.”

“As a result, at this very moment, in the brief moments to come, you only have yourself to rely on… this is your weakest moment.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yu’s body suddenly burst into flames, his flesh and blood seemingly completely engulfed by the fire.

Watching Zhang Yu, who had engulfed his human shell and encased himself in Tian Ri Huang Shen, Kuang Tianqing thought to herself, “Hmph, using Tian Ri Huang Shen as armor?”

“But why isn’t my Tian Mo Huan Shen Fa working?”

Kuang Tianqing knew that her Tian Mo Huan Shen Fa worked through Ling Ji, distorting the perception of everything from human bodies and Fa Hai to magical artifacts, making them susceptible to her illusions.

“Unless there’s no contact with Ling Ji.”

“But to make Tian Mo Huan Shen effective, I already polluted the Ling Mai early on.”

In Kuang Tianqing’s view, the massive fortress beneath her feet was a useless cage, and the drawn Ling Mai made it easier for her to pollute it, to ensnare all opponents in her illusions.

“It’s too late to stop absorbing Ling Ji during a battle. You all fell for my Tian Mo Huan Shen Fa long before the battle even began.”

Kuang Tianqing knew that this was the terrifying aspect of the current internal test version of Tian Mo Huan Shen Fa, spreading through Ling Ji, making it almost impossible to guard against, far beyond what could be prevented by simply stopping Ling Ji absorption during combat.

However, Kuang Tianqing understood that after this exposure, someone would likely soon think of the Ling Mai and realize that her Tian Mo Huan Shen Fa could work through the Ling Mai, reducing one of her information advantages.

“This Xian Zha isn’t affected by the illusion. The only possibility… is that he has been refining Fa Li by burning matter.”

Information about Tian Ri Huang Shen flashed through Kuang Tianqing’s mind, and she continued to ponder: “Instead of using the more efficient Ling Mai, he has persistently used puppets to burn matter and refine Fa Li.”

“This indicates that this Xian Zha has been guarding against me for two days, unwilling to give me even the slightest chance to cast an illusion.”

Thinking this, Kuang Tianqing found it laughable.

The opponent’s caution and prudence only disgusted her.

“Guarding against me? Spent so much time guarding against me?”

“Do you really think you have a chance to fight me?”

Tian Mo Xu Kong Fa allowed Kuang Tianqing to transform into a phantom, effortlessly dodging her opponent’s attacks.

Xuan Ming Gui Xu Jue activated, swallowing the Heng Ri Huang Yan that Zhang Yu unleashed through Tian Ri Huang Shen like a black hole.

Under the boost of these two cultivation methods, all of Zhang Yu’s attacks seemed to be effortlessly neutralized, leaving Kuang Tianqing in an invincible position.

By this point, the two sides had exchanged dozens of blows in just a fleeting moment, and countless rounds of lightning-fast thoughts had taken place in their minds.

But just after this instantaneous start of the battle, the surrounding ground and walls vibrated violently and began to move in unison.

Kuang Tianqing’s heart stirred: “The walls are moving on their own? My Tian Mo Fan should have suppressed the surrounding equipment. How are the Fa Li circuits here activating?”

Zhang Yu said coldly: “Kuang Tianqing, are you wondering why this place is activating?”

“Because I knew long ago that in a competition of Ling Jie technology, even with the blessing of formations, I couldn’t possibly dominate this complex battlefield.”

“So, within this prison, I abandoned information technology and adopted a large number of purely mechanical power methods, using Tian Kun Lun Yi Shan Shen Li to activate and accomplish terrain changes…”

At this moment, layers of armor and walls continuously surged towards Zhang Yu and Kuang Tianqing’s location, like waves of mudslides, threatening to completely bury and trap them.

One thing Zhang Yu didn’t mention was that to reinforce the buildings around the captive area, he had borrowed a good deal of Fa Hai and ashes from the captives for blood sacrifices, greatly enhancing the strength of the structures.

As for why the opponent’s captives would have ashes on them?

Who doesn’t produce a little ash?

And besides these, with the activation of Tian Di Huai Jie Wu Xing Xin Bing at this moment, streaks of spiritual light flashed through the Fa Li circuits inside the walls, which had already transformed into temporary magical artifacts, increasing their defensive strength by another level.

Zhang Yu coldly said: “Kuang Tianqing, you are now trapped by me.”

Immediately after, a buzzing vibration sound came through the air.

Kuang Tianqing squinted, realizing there were numerous holes in the walls.

The next moment, a sky full of black light poured out from the holes—it was a succession of flying swords.

Almost every moment, hundreds of flying swords poured out from them.

Tian Kun Lun Yi Shan Shen Li erupted with a roar, and under Zhang Yu’s propulsion, the surging torrent of flying swords slammed towards Kuang Tianqing.

Zhang Yu shouted: “Kuang Tianqing, enjoy the Ten Thousand Sword Array I created for you.”

Every flying sword pouring out at this moment was produced by Zhang Yu after devouring a large amount of metallic materials.

The long ones he named “flying swords,” and he was now using them to set up the Ten Thousand Sword Array. The other round ones he named “sword pills,” awaiting his subsequent use.

And Zhang Yu had produced a full ten thousand of these long flying swords!

However, though called flying swords, they were merely simple sword shapes, processed by him to have considerable strength.

But with the activation of Tian Di Huai Jie Wu Xing Xin Bing, these sword shapes all temporarily transformed into magical artifacts, and then, propelled by Tian Kun Lun Yi Shan Shen Li, moved at high speed, actually possessing the true power of flying swords in this brief moment.

“Kuang Tianqing, I will use absolute quantity and matter to break your Xuan Ming Gui Xu Jue!”
