Chapter 374: Seven Wonders Change, Fierce Competition
Zhang Yu followed Shi Huaiyu and others into the stadium and saw a huge square before them.
The competition is divided into two parts: architecture and civil engineering, which are held in two different venues. Of course, Zhang Yu came to the civil engineering venue at this moment.
Civil engineering students from all grades gathered here, standing in groups of three or four, waiting for the competition to officially begin.
There are almost no poor people who come to this arena to compete. They are all top students and elites from all grades.
Various top 50, top 30, and top 10 rankings appeared in the air.
Various colorful brands of Dharma corpses flashed under the lights.
If the densely packed foundation-building areas were not ignored, they would probably keep popping up and fill the entire field of vision of the eye.
There were also various projections from the spiritual world, some were for gathering teams, some were for advertising, some were for fun, and some were for creating special effects for themselves... Zhang Yu felt dazzled by it all.
It was also the first time that Zhang Yu saw so many civil engineering elites appearing in the same place.
He couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many people participating in the competition."
Shi Huaiyu said: "Of course, after all, the comprehensive score has increased."
"Whoever ranks higher in the competition and gets more comprehensive points will have a great impact on the ranking."
"Ordinary students don't have to consider these, but the top students in each grade must participate."
At this point, Shi Huaiyu said with emotion: "The top students and excellent students in grades 8, 9, and 10 can form 6 or 7 teams, almost taking all the top places."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Not all senior students have overwhelming strength. After all, Che Yufei is only in the seventh grade.
Shi Huaiyu went on to say: "The top students in grades 4, 5, 6, and 7 will take the lead, select people from each place, and then organize 5 or 6 teams to compete for the top ten spots."
“There’s no way we can beat a senior team.”
“Our opponents are those middle-level teams, and we have to snatch the top 10 from them.”
When Shi Huaiyu said this, his tone became serious: "And I'm afraid the competition this year will be even more intense."
The others nodded slightly. As students of the Civil Engineering Department, they had also gradually felt an increasing sense of opposition over the past few months. The conflict between the war faction and the peace faction was gradually becoming public.
And this competition obviously became the most suitable place for the two factions to compete.
Shi Huaiyu had already seen staff members broadcasting live around the competition area. She thought to herself, "I'm afraid that the performance of this year's civil engineering competition will directly affect the momentum of the two factions, the stock prices of the companies behind them, and even the future choices of the neutral faction."
"After all...if our war faction can occupy more of the top three and top ten positions, it will definitely have a greater influence, and then gain the support of more neutral factions in the civil engineering department, and gain the upper hand in the future."
“And it’s the same for the peace faction.”
Looking at these elite students on the square and the department rankings above their heads, Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, Tian Yang, Xiao Qingxuan and others all felt a heavy pressure.
At this moment, Shi Huaiyu gradually stopped, looked at the figure in front of him and said: "Su Yanyang..."
The young man called Su Yanyang by Shi Huaiyu smiled slightly. There seemed to be flames burning in his pupils, and a ball of light appeared in his chest, beating like a heart.
Su Yanyang looked at Shi Huaiyu and said, "I didn't expect that Huaiyu would continue to participate in the competition."
"But following this group of old, weak, young and poor people..."
Su Yanyang's eyes swept over Che Yufei, Shi Yunxiang, Zhang Yu and others, lingered on Xiao Qingxuan for a moment, then quietly stepped back a few steps before continuing, "Your success rate of getting a rank this way is not high."
"Without this part of the comprehensive score, if you can't get first place in the class next time, is it really okay?"
"For the sake of our old friendship, I can give you another chance. You can pay the spirit coins to return to the team as a substitute and get some comprehensive points. Maybe you can even have a chance to get first place in the class."
Shi Huaiyu curled his lips and said coldly: "Don't worry about it, you should pay more attention to yourself. Don't forget to pay the money when you lose the lawsuit."
Su Yanyang shook his head and sighed, "On the road to becoming an immortal, the most taboo is to act on impulse. That's why you failed in stock trading."
"Team formation in competitions is still so irrational nowadays."
"I think you will go bankrupt in the future..."
Looking at Su Yanyang's departing back, Che Yufei asked curiously, "He was from your last competition team?"
Shi Huaiyu said bitterly: "This guy broke my kidney and he still refused to pay for it."
"But..." Shi Huaiyu exhaled: "Before entering the top 10, it's best not to meet him. This guy is still very strong."
Zhang Yu's eyes swept over Su Yanyang's head, where he was ranked 29th in the department. This was obviously much better than Shi Huaiyu's 38th in the department.
With the arrival of all the contestants, the civil engineering competition officially began.
A handsome young man stood on the stage, looking at the students below and said, "It's the annual civil engineering competition again..."
Looking at the young man, Zhang Yu stared at the title that appeared above his head and said secretly, "The head of the Civil Engineering Department... Master Lingyue?"
Zhang Yu had heard Tulishan talk about this old director and knew that he was the head of the Civil Engineering Department.
But he had heard from Tulishan before that the other party was nearing the end of his life and was about to die of old age.
But now the True Lord Lingyue on the stage has the image of a lively young man, so how could he die of old age?
At the same time, Lingyue Zhenjun on the stage said: "In order to cope with the changes in the new era, the school has decided to add a spice to this civil engineering competition and increase the prizes."
"The top seven teams in this competition will receive two spots, each of which will be awarded one of the Seven Ultimate Civil Engineering Skills. The spots will be allocated by the teams themselves."
After hearing this, the students in the audience were slightly stunned, and the next moment they started talking a lot.
Zhang Yu was surprised and asked, "Seven Civil Engineers? The first seven teams each selected two people, so 14 people were awarded the title of Seven Civil Engineers?"
He thought to himself, "Compared to the previous year when only the top student in the class could be awarded one civil engineering seven unique skills, this time it's much more open."
Soon, Zhang Yu and many other people at the scene came up with the same idea.
"If we do this every year, won't there be many people who can master the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, or even the Minor Three Combinations?"
“Even Tian Kunlun’s power to move mountains may be mastered by a few more people.”
Fu Ji commented: "The skills were tightened, but now they are suddenly loosened. Could it be to prepare for a possible university war? Hehe, this is the opportunity given by the times, allowing you to cultivate the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering more easily than previous students."
"War is indeed a stepping stone to progress. This gives you more opportunities before the actual fighting even begins."
Zhang Yu said: "So, does that mean the war faction has the upper hand in the civil engineering department?"
Fu Ji said: "Not necessarily. The peace faction just doesn't want the Ten Greats to go to war. It doesn't mean they don't want to gain a stronger force."
"In fact, if we follow the wishes of the Department of Civil Engineering, whether it is advocating war or peace, I think they should hope to open the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering to more students. Only in this way can they earn more."
"Every department in the university is like this. They definitely want to keep expanding, gain more resources, more students, and more powerful people."
"So the policy changes from the previous tightening of the Civil Engineering Department to the current loosening should be the will of higher-level officials, rather than being entirely determined by the Civil Engineering Department itself."
"Maybe it's the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering above the Department of Civil Engineering? Or maybe it's the leadership of Wanfa University? Or even the influence of Wanfa Sect?"
"Anyway, the reason for doing this suddenly... We are currently in a low position and lack information channels, so there is no need to delve into it."
"But the result is that the competition in the civil engineering competition will inevitably become more intense. I see that there are already quite a few people here who want to take out loans and want to have their magic weapons and magic bones delivered."
Zhang Yu understood what was said. Regardless of whether he advocated war or peace, he would definitely hope that more of his students would master the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, or even the magical power of Kunlun to move mountains.
And a moment later, the first round of eliminations began.
The square in front of them was changing, and all kinds of distorted gravity fields appeared in front of everyone.
The gravitational fields that constantly change in direction and size form a series of obstacles.
The content of the elimination round is very simple. All students have to cross a complex gravity field that is one kilometer wide in front of them and record the time it takes.
The players of each competing team will add up the time they have taken to get the total time taken by each team.
Based on the total time of each team, the top 20 teams with the best results will remain to continue the next round of 20 to 10 competition, and the remaining teams will be eliminated.
Lingyue Zhenjun said calmly: "For the finance department, the more money you have, the easier it is to practice. For us in the civil engineering department... the stronger your body, the easier it is to practice."
"This first round of elimination is to screen out all the students who are physically backward."
As the first round of eliminations began, students rushed into the gravity field and ran towards the finish line one thousand meters away.
But often, the students who were running very fast and making the sound of wind and thunder the moment before would suddenly slow down and their bodies would start to stagger as soon as they rushed into the gravity field.
Just as a group of students were struggling to move forward in the gravity field, Zhang Yu felt a slight change in the gravity around him.
The next moment, several figures appeared like black lightning, crossing the gravity field in an instant.
Zhang Yu's eyes moved: "It's Mo Enjin."
He still has fresh memories of this senior who mastered the magical power of Tian Kunlun to move mountains.
Mo Enjin activated the Tian Kunlun power to move mountains, and in almost an instant he led five team members across a thousand-meter gravity field.
“So strong.”
Just as Zhang Yu was sighing in his heart, the feeling of a slight change in gravity came again, and several figures crackled and passed through the gravity field with an explosion.
"Is it another top ten student who has mastered the power of Tian Kunlun to move mountains?"
Zhang Yu was slightly stunned when he saw this scene: "So he and Mo Enjin are not in the same team?"
Fu Ji said, "Eighty percent of them are from the war faction and one from the peace faction. This is an internal fight. They would rather reduce the strength of their own team than join forces with the other side."
Zhang Yu shook his head. Mo Enjin and the team of senior 10 students were too far away from him. What he had to do now was to find a way to quickly pass through the gravity field.
