Chapter 615: I Want to Send Dao Qiankun onto the Throne

Chapter 615: I Will Seat Dao Qiankun Upon the Throne

Facing the myriad lenses of the reporters, Zhang Yu spoke, "To achieve today's accomplishments, I must first thank Wanfa University for its excellent learning environment, and the university leaders for providing opportunities to make money. At Wanfa University, everyone earns a fortune, and everyone has overtime to work."

"I must also thank my teacher, Sovereign Ciji. Participating in her Yin Artifact project has greatly aided my cultivation; without her, I would not have attained today's achievements."

"I thank my former teacher in the Civil Engineering Department, Sovereign Qingmu. Under his guidance, I laid a solid foundation in civil engineering, enabling me to flexibly apply intelligent architecture on the battlefield."

"I also thank my high school teacher, True Person Xinghuo. It was he who charted my professional course and instilled in me a Daoist heart..."

Another reporter asked, "Zhang Yu, what are your thoughts on your advertising quote ranking for the next match?"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, a trace of bewilderment flashing across his face.

Dao Qiankun, standing nearby, sent him a message, briefly explaining to Zhang Yu what this ranking actually entailed.

The reporter asked, "Your advertising quote ranking for the next match has already climbed to third place, second only to Dao Qiankun and Kuang Tianqing. Do you have anything you wish to say about this?"

Zhang Yu replied, "I will follow the arrangements of the university and my teachers."

Yet another reporter asked, "Zhang Yu! Is there anything you want to say to Kuang Tianqing?"

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Next time, don't just run away when you see me."

After another barrage of questions, a reporter finally asked, "Zhang Yu, who do you think will be the champion this time?"

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yu said with a serious and resolute expression, "Wanfa University will undoubtedly claim the championship in this Top Ten League!"

"I will help Senior Dao Qiankun secure first place."

"I want to seat him upon the throne of the Top Ten Universities!"

......

Crack.

A sharp explosion rent the air, as Kuang Tianqing had inadvertently crushed it in her grip.

Within her ocular relics, Zhang Yu's interview video was currently playing.

Nearby, Xue Yueshi, the second-ranked student from Tianmo University and a biological female, heard the commotion and looked at Kuang Tianqing, asking, "What's wrong?"

Kuang Tianqing replied coldly, "Nothing. I am recording Zhang Yu's interview video and organizing it into my archive."

Another student nearby asked curiously, "What is an archive?"

Xue Yueshi said casually, "Senior Kuang Tianqing is rather petty. She records everyone who offends her, storing all the specific details and data of their transgressions."

Looking at the names of Dao Qiankun, Zhang Yu, and others in her archive, Kuang Tianqing said coldly, "I told you, this is not pettiness."

"This is a cultivation method that has existed since ancient times."

"By recording the hatred and enmity in one's heart, constantly reviewing and revisiting them, and supplementing this with a special mental technique, one can temper the Daoist heart."

"This is the Hatred Heart Art, which emphasizes tempering the mind with hatred. After all, hatred is far more enduring and powerful than any other emotion or thought."

Kuang Tianqing looked at her teammates and explained, "Although many immortal techniques from ancient times have been eliminated, many mental methods still have their merits. Do not underestimate them."

The student who had just asked secretly sent a message to Xue Yueshi: Isn't Senior just being petty? [Facepalm]

Xue Yueshi: Stop it [Shh] Keep talking and she'll add you to the list too.

Xue Yueshi: Don't think she can't get you just because you're a girl.

Xue Yueshi: Ever since she mastered the techniques of White Bone University, she can now cultivate both Yin and Yang, taking down both men and women.

......

Meanwhile, as the match concluded, Zhang Yu's interview transformed into various videos and texts, spreading to countless places.

Naturally, the first to watch it was Zhang Yu himself.

And as Zhang Yu watched his own interview video, Zhao Tianxing and the other soul cultivators also grew excited.

Zhao Tianxing sent the video to the fellow townsmen group, circling the sword sheath not far behind Zhang Yu, and said: See the sword sheath? I was inside it back then.

Mo Tianyi was repeatedly watching the notification sent by the university, which read: Congratulations to our students Zhao Tianxing and Mo Tianyi for competing alongside students from the Top Ten Universities in the Top Ten League and achieving excellent results...

Over on Hu Yuntao's end, he received a message from Xiong Wenwu, who asked: Help me ask, does President Zhang need a mount?

Watching the messages from his classmates one by one, feeling their envy and jealousy, Che Yufei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Compared to working myself to the bone at the construction site before... working as a soul cultivator under President Zhang might have a brighter future. Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?"

......

At the construction site of Wanfa University.

Shi Huaiyu laughed heartily, "Now Zhang Yu's name is known to the world! Our company is definitely going to blow up! And civil engineering, and Wanfa, right..."

As if suddenly remembering something, Shi Huaiyu hurriedly controlled his ocular relics, connecting to the stock and cryptocurrency platforms.

"It really went up!" Shi Huaiyu was thrilled: "Thank goodness I bought it!"

Xiao Qingxuan thought to himself, "Seat Dao Qiankun upon the throne? The Zhang Yu I know doesn't seem like the type to say such things."

Ying Xin asked her grandfather: Did President Zhang not use our family's bone ash?

Ying Xin: Grandpa, think hard, is there any bone ash left? I'll scrape some more out and send it to President Zhang.

Watching the segment about True Person Xinghuo in Zhang Yu's interview, Yu Xinghan sighed in his heart, "Master, your name has truly spread throughout the academic world this time."

He sent a message to Li Xuelian: Senior Sister, did you see it?

Shi Yunxiang sent Zhang Yu's achievements back to the demon descendant family group, saying: Who among you has such an amazing boss? So what if they discriminate against demon descendants? Do you understand the inherent flaws of demon descendants? Especially some with terrible conduct, they deserve to be discriminated against.

Shi Yunxiang: I advise you to care less about things like the great demon descendants, ancient civilizations, and human oppression. With that time, you'd be better off thinking about how many spirit coins you can earn in a month.

Watching the spirited Zhang Yu in the video, Le Mulan's mind drifted back to the past, to the one who earned money to tutor her, who was dragged to the teacher's office to extract essence to lead his companions through an economic crisis... and now could resist Kuang Tianqing's devouring, even swallowing her whole in return.

Thinking that such a person was their companion, their boss, Le Mulan, along with Shi Huaiyu, Ying Xin, Shi Yunxiang, and the other company employees, all felt a surge of fighting spirit, a confidence and hope for the future, rise within them at this moment. ......

Within the Civil Engineering Department of Wanfa University.

Feng Tingting sighed in her heart, "So Sovereign Ciji and Director Gao had long been cultivating Zhang Yu's dual abilities in civil engineering and artifact refining."

"Then does that mean I wasn't exiled to civil engineering, but rather entrusted with great hope?"

"Does the Director hope that I, like Zhang Yu, can pursue both artifact refining and civil engineering in parallel! Empowering civil engineering with artifact refining to create new value?"

The more she watched Zhang Yu's live broadcast, the more Feng Tingting felt there was great potential in it.

At the same time, Mo Shangjin, a first-year master's student, listening to Zhang Yu's words of gratitude, sighed in his heart, "Teacher, I was wrong."

"I originally thought it was because you lacked the ability to protect Zhang Yu, unable to keep top talent in the Civil Engineering Department, and could only helplessly watch him transfer to the Artifact Refining Department."

"But now I understand, why must a true civil engineer stay in civil engineering?"

"Zhang Yu went to the Artifact Refining Department, yet he still promoted the spirit of civil engineering, and even brought greater benefits to it."

At this moment, Mo Shangjin couldn't help but marvel at Director Gao's foresight.

He suddenly made up his mind, "This guaranteed master's spot in the Civil Engineering Department... I'm not going to take it."

"I will rely on my own strength and transfer to become a master's student in the Artifact Refining Department!"

During class, Gongshu Jin saw Tu Lishan suddenly stop his lecture, and then heard him say, "Classmates, I have good news to share. Zhang Yu, who graduated from our Civil Engineering Department, has achieved outstanding results in this Top Ten League."

"Next, let's all watch his performance on the battlefield."

"Remember this, the future of the Civil Engineering Department is bright. Especially as the intensity of the junior college wars and university wars increases successively, the Civil Engineering Department has a vast and promising future."

"Even though classmate Zhang Yu transferred to the Artifact Refining Department, he hasn't forgotten to continue delving into civil engineering techniques..."

...

"Can civil engineering... really achieve this level?"

In the Spirit Realm, Ji Yuanshu, who had once constantly dreamed of transferring from the Civil Engineering Department to the Finance Department, currently had no time to watch the competition as a soul cultivator.

However, he could still manage to watch clips of the matches and the post-event interviews.

Watching Zhang Yu's performance and his answers before the camera, a complex emotion involuntarily welled up in Ji Yuanshu's heart.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have been so hell-bent on transferring out of civil engineering back then."

...

Inside a dimly lit room.

Ping Han was working while watching the competition.

As he watched Kuang Tianqing being swallowed amidst violent tremors on the screen, Ping Han felt his own world shaking violently in turn.

Only then did he realize his workspace was indeed shuddering relentlessly beneath the fierce impacts of his client.

"We're both in civil engineering... we're both dual cultivators..."

"Why? Why are our fates so vastly different?"

A flash of reluctance crossed Ping Han's eyes. Thinking of the orders issued by Divine Lord Qiongjiang, his initial hesitation suddenly solidified into resolve.

"During this Top Ten League, the Divine Lords' attention is entirely on the arena. This might be the last chance of my life."

"For this chance, even if it means cooperating with Hehuan University to reduce Wan Fa to ashes... I will spare no expense."

...

"True Person Xinghuo... True Person Xinghuo..."

Having finished watching the interview, Wang Yin's mind kept echoing with Zhang Yu's words, recalling the scenes he had experienced on the first level of Kunxu.

"Back when I was on the first level, it was this very True Person Xinghuo who blocked my way."

"And it's this same True Person Xinghuo who must have taught Zhang Yu so much later on."

Reflecting on all these interconnected events, Wang Yin increasingly sensed something extraordinary beneath the surface.

"Could it be that everything was arranged long in advance?"

Wang Yin recalled the many figures in history who had suddenly risen, climbing layer by layer to the upper echelons of Kunxu; now, Zhang Yu somewhat resembled them.

An idea he himself found unbelievable surged in his mind: "Zhang Yu... surely he isn't going to take the championship this time?"

"How could that be..."

Although he found the thought utterly absurd, he still sent it to his mother.

Mother: The sudden rise of certain individuals is indeed connected to those above.

Mother: Every era has such people, rising like lightning, climbing all the way to the top, only to vanish without a trace in the end.

Mother: However, the first place this time... is destined to be either Kuang Tianqing or Dao Qiankun.

Mother: As it stands, this is the only outcome that the majority of the Deity Transformation experts can accept.

Mother: Anyone else who takes first place will likely not meet a good end.
