When Zhang Yu saw this, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself, “Ah Zhen’s majority of assets are on her. What’s the difference between fighting with her life on the line and selling a house to speculate in stocks?”

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt the determination in her heart.

“Leaving her lower body for me to take over immediately… is it so I can return the spiritual root and avoid any flaws?”

“She even thought of this. Ah Zhen is truly determined.”

He subconsciously wanted to persuade Bai Zhenzhen not to go all out against Kuang Tianqing, but repeatedly feeling the firmness and resolve in her words, he knew that anything he said would be useless.

“This year’s Top Ten Leagues is a unique opportunity for Ah Zhen. How can I persuade her to give up?”

“Just like my determination to win first place, who can persuade me otherwise?”

Zhang Yu sighed, seemingly recalling the scene from high school when they both decided to get into the Top Ten.

“Along this path of immortal cultivation, how many people haven’t risked bankruptcy or poured their heart and soul into it? Who has the right to persuade whom to give up?”

Zhang Yu shook his head, secretly vowing, “If Ah Zhen truly dies in battle, even if it means incurring huge debts, I will revive her.”

After ending his contact with Bai Zhenzhen, Zhang Yu continued to look at Dao Qiankun’s corpse before him.

Ever since Dao Qiankun’s body was placed in the mourning hall, Zhang Yu had been trying to sense the Dao Seed on the corpse, attempting to replicate it.

Only recently did the Dao Seed on Dao Qiankun’s corpse finally stabilize and appear in his eyes, allowing Zhang Yu to perceive the information contained within.

“The physical body of Dao Qiankun must be elevated to its current state of perfection.”

“How is this to be done?”

Zhang Yu looked at the corpse before him, unable to imagine how a corpse could be elevated or achieve a state of perfection. Surely, it couldn’t mean reviving the person?

“Ultimately, I’ll only know by trying.”

After some thought, Zhang Yu approached Dao Qiankun, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, “Brother Dao, what I’m about to do is for your own good.”

“If you’re not satisfied, just say so, and I’ll change it immediately.”

After saying this, Zhang Yu began to wipe Dao Qiankun’s corpse.

During the wiping, Dao Qiankun’s artifact spirit occasionally emerged due to Zhang Yu’s touch, chatting idly with him.

After wiping, Zhang Yu tilted his head, thinking to himself, “Is it useless?”

Then Zhang Yu tried massaging the corpse, stretching its legs and feet to exercise its muscles and bones…

Despite Zhang Yu’s daily attempts during his free time, constantly checking the corpse’s condition, he had not succeeded even one day before the battle with Tiansheng Gong.

“Alas, what exactly does it mean to elevate the physical body to a state of perfection?”

Zhang Yu thought, “How could the conditions given by the Dao Seed Scripture be so vague?”

Just as Zhang Yu felt helpless, the artifact spirit that emerged from the corpse suddenly said, “Left spell-force circuit module data lost, spell-force operation precision decreased by 3%, but still operable.”

Zhang Yu was slightly startled, thinking, “Is it reporting the condition of Brother Dao’s spell-skeleton?”

“How long has Brother Dao been dead, and his spell-skeleton is already malfunctioning?”

Zhang Yu pressed his palm against the corpse’s back, injecting spell-force into it to examine the spell-skeleton on Dao Qiankun’s corpse.

He thought to himself, “Hmm?”

“This spell-skeleton and this corpse seem somewhat uncoordinated.”

“Is the perfection of the physical body related to this?”

Unfortunately, Zhang Yu didn’t have much time. The semifinals were about to begin, so Zhang Yu could only leave the mourning hall with a hint of doubt in his heart.

Returning to the flying boat, Zhang Yu began to install the brand-new Qijue Spell-skeleton.

Xianyin Zhenjun’s projection descended, looking at Zhang Yu and saying, “Time is too tight. This modified Qijue Spell-skeleton has not undergone much debugging, and there may be many areas that require adjustment during actual combat.”

As piece after piece of the spell-skeleton was loaded onto his body, surging spell-force flowed through them, and Zhang Yu felt powerful forces rushing back and forth within him.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, feeling the new changes within his body, and said, “Thank you, all Zhenjun.”

“This new Qijue Spell-skeleton is exactly what I wanted.”

Looking at Zhang Yu’s departing back, Anzhen Zhenjun said, “Does this new Qijue Spell-skeleton meet military-grade standards?”

Xianyin Zhenjun said, “Without evaluation, it won’t truly be considered military-grade.”

“But if we only look at its performance, I can only say that after our modifications, this Qijue Spell-skeleton can be called a monster among Level 20 magical artifacts, possessing military-grade potential.”

“As for its specific performance, it will depend on how Zhang Yu uses it.”

Meanwhile, with the start of the Top Ten League semifinals, the popularity of live broadcast rooms on various platforms had surged dramatically.

Especially the endless stream of advertisements related to Jihu, almost making people believe that the entire Top Ten League was sponsored by Jihu.

And countless Jihu fans in countless schools were all following this battle, wanting to witness the moment Tiansheng Gong utterly defeated Zhang Yu with Jihu’s power.

In contrast, Kuang Tianqing, the favorite to win the championship, didn’t receive much attention today, as most viewers believed that Kuang Tianqing would easily win this battle, just like the previous one.

In the waiting area.

Kuang Tianqing looked at Bai Zhenzhen before him, a hint of surprise in his eyes: “Bai Zhenzhen, I feel your fighting spirit.”

“It seems you’ve made up your mind for today’s battle.”

Kuang Tianqing smiled, “As expected of a cultivator of Extreme Emotion Sword Dao. Even knowing such a huge gap between us, you still choose to fight.”

“I don’t know whether to call you brave or foolish.”

Bai Zhenzhen’s gaze shifted upon hearing this, and she met his eyes, saying, “Kuang Tianqing, I will go all out in this battle.”

“I will shatter all the insults you left for me, for Zhang Yu.”

Kuang Tianqing grinned, “Then I’ll taste your flavor on the battlefield.”

The next moment, the two were enveloped by layers of divine light, soaring directly into the sky and flying towards the battlefield.

At the same time, Tiansheng Gong on the other side had already arrived before Zhang Yu, directly opening the live broadcast.

“Zhang Yu,” Tiansheng Gong began, “Are you ready? After you lose, you’ll put on a Jihu spell-skeleton. I’ve already prepared it for you.”

Zhang Yu retorted without backing down, “Jihu’s provocation.”

As they spoke, both were already transported to the battlefield.

Tiansheng Gong shouted, and the giant puppet beneath his feet soared into the sky, floating in mid-air like a fortress.

“Zhang Yu, in today’s battle, I fight not just for the immortal soldiers, for Jihu, but also for the countless students throughout the world who cannot afford high-end spell-skeletons or expensive magical artifacts.”

“To allow everyone in the world to use the highest-performing products, to push this world to its maximum potential, making the most of everything and everyone’s talents, I must not only defeat you, but also defeat Kuang Tianqing, and win first place in these Top Ten Leagues!”

Tiansheng Gong’s voice echoed across the battlefield like rolling thunder. Not only could Zhang Yu hear it, but countless viewers watching the live broadcast could also hear it, instantly triggering countless cheers in the spirit realm.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the land, torrents emerged, transforming the ground into a vast marshland in an instant.

At the same time, the sun, formed by Tianri Huangshen, rose from this torrent, illuminating the world with dazzling light.

Zhang Yu had no opinion on Wandao or Jihu. In his eyes, everything was commercial competition within Kunxu, and no one was more noble than the other.

However, since Wandao had advertised and even sponsored a named technique, and also for his own popularity, Zhang Yu would naturally not remain silent at this moment.

So, Zhang Yu walked out of this “sun” step by step, looked at Tiansheng Gong, and said loudly, “Tiansheng Gong, your so-called ‘making the most of everything and everyone’s talents,’ does it just refer to endless plagiarism and endless patchwork?”

Tiansheng Gong snorted coldly, “All of Jihu’s products are independently researched and developed. If you think there’s a problem, go ahead and sue.”

As he spoke, the giant puppet beneath his feet shook, and countless components and modules, like flakes of skin or lice, rolled off the giant puppet, forming half-human-sized puppets in mid-air.

“Zhang Yu! I know you come from civil engineering and are skilled in formations. Today, take my ‘Jihu Formation Breaker’ move.”

The small puppets that fell from the giant puppet immediately burrowed underground, beginning to destroy rock formations and modify the geomorphic environment, giving Zhang Yu no chance to set up a formation.

“This is Jihu’s civil engineering construction puppet team. With this puppet team’s construction, you won’t be able to set up any formations today.”

“Now take my ‘Fill the Sea’ move!”

The giant puppet clenched its dual palms in the air, and an invisible earth-fiend gravity erupted. Distant mountain ranges instantly collapsed.

“This is Jihu’s earth-fiend module, capable of inducing anti-gravity waves to destroy mountains and shatter rocks.”

Watching large sections of mountains and rocks engulfing the torrent formed by the Biliu Jinjing Armor, as if to fill the entire body of water, Tiansheng Gong laughed heartily, “Even if you summon a sea today, I will fill it.”

“Now take my ‘Break Power! Break Sword! Break Fire!’ three moves!”

As Tiansheng Gong let out a soft shout, spheres appeared behind the giant puppet. A total of twelve spheres encircled its body, erupting with earth-fiend gravity to counter the Tiankunlun Mountain-Shifting Divine Power.

The puppet’s interior erupted with massive spirit realm fluctuations, attempting to suppress the Taihao Shengli Sword Formation.

A layer of fluorescent light also appeared on the surface of all the puppets, which was Jihu’s latest high-temperature resistance technology.

Watching these scenes, Zhang Yu suddenly realized, “Have they made targeted preparations for all my moves?”

“But all these preparations…”

Scenes and data from the battlefield appeared in Zhang Yu’s eye-skeleton. He thought to himself, “All the technologies used were referenced from Wanfa, right?”

“As expected of Jihu’s battle tactics.” (WX52info, convenient for next time reading, or search on Baidu to enter this site.)
