Chapter 701 Victory! (Seeking monthly votes, two chapters are only 100+ words apart, 8000 words)
As more cultivators and soul cultivators from Wanfa University arrived at the scene, the surrounding streets were also sealed off one by one. Everyone present, including passersby and Tian Sha Zhenjun, was given a gag order and was not allowed to reveal anything they had seen or heard that day.
Afterwards, Zhang Yu expressed his gratitude to the Nascent Soul True Lords who had rushed to the scene, including Heavenly Kill True Lord and Wonderful Hand True Lord.
Tian Sha Zhenjun waved his hand and said, "Protecting the campus is the duty of our security department. It's all part of our job. If you need anything in the future, Zhu Yi Zhenjun, just call me anytime. I'll be there whenever you need me."
The Master of Miraculous Hands said, "Master of Candlelight, you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago, yet you were able to fight three top experts all by yourself. It's truly admirable. Would you like to come to my hospital for a free check-up?"
The other Nascent Soul True Monarchs present also looked at Zhang Yu with goodwill.
Although a gag order has been issued for today's news, they were all people who witnessed Zhang Yu's battle firsthand. They naturally understood Zhang Yu's mastery of the Kunlun Palm and spatial technology, and they also felt the importance that the Magnetic Extreme God Lord attached to Zhang Yu from the appearance of the Boundary-Breaking Cone.
An hour later, Wanfa University issued a notice stating that the Righteous Alliance's assassination attempt on the students had failed, and three Nascent Soul Realm experts had been killed on the spot.
Even earlier, the Dark Spirit Realm had announced that Zhang Yu of Wanfa University had been assassinated and was critically injured, while the three Nascent Soul experts had escaped unscathed.
Zhang Yu looked at the report about the Dark Spirit Realm and couldn't help but laugh: "You're really exaggerating, aren't you? You think you can win against this?"
Zhang Yu scanned the news in the Dark Spirit Realm again and found that there were quite a few related reports and discussions.
He thought to himself, "As a disciple of the Magnetic Extreme God, I am quite well-known among the many Nascent Soul cultivators on both sides."
At the same time, the image of a Taoist priest appeared in Zhang Yu's mind. The man was named Liangyan Zhenjun, a traitor from the Finance Department of Tianmo University who had been commenting on current events in the Dark Spirit Realm.
In Zhang Yu's view, it was about promoting the Righteous Alliance and smearing the top ten universities.
At this very moment, Liangyan Zhenjun was discussing Zhang Yu's affairs.
He posted a photo of Zhang Yu covered in blood, commenting, "Zhang Yu was severely injured in this assassination attempt and is on the verge of death."
"The fact that Wanfa University can't even protect the president's disciple shows how bad the situation is for the top ten universities and how tense the front line is."
“If we look at the number of cultivators who have smuggled themselves into the Righteous Alliance in the past week, we will find that the gap between the two sides is widening further.”
"You say that Wanfa's spatial technology has improved? I've said it many times, don't just look at what the other party says, but also look at what they do. In Wanfa's Taixu Cloud Treasury, 80% of the cutting-edge technology is copied from the Righteous Alliance and obtained by breaking through the spatial barrier. They have no technological research and development capabilities of their own."
"With such a top ten team constantly following in the footsteps of the Righteous Alliance, do you think they can win?"
Zhang Yu glanced at the comments section and found that many people in the Dark Spirit Realm supported Liangyan Zhenjun.
Fu Ji commented, "Whether it's the Top Ten or the Righteous Alliance, proclaiming their legitimacy and their victory are necessary actions. In particular, if the Righteous Alliance doesn't do this, how can they gather fortune? How can they win over more lower-level cultivators?"
Zhang Yu then glanced at other news from the Dark Spirit Realm.
Like the Spirit Realm, the Dark Spirit Realm has little information about its own Nascent Soul cultivators, and it is even impossible to discuss or mention them.
However, there is a lot of news about the various Nascent Soul experts in the Righteous Alliance. Some of it is actively promoted by the Righteous Alliance, and some of it is self-promotion by these Nascent Soul experts.
In particular, some of the powerful Nascent Soul cultivators are also known as the seeds of the Divine Transformation realm, and are considered to be the group of Nascent Soul cultivators with the best chance of breaking through to the Divine Transformation realm.
Taihao Zhenjun, whom Zhang Yu fought this time, is considered to be a seed of the Nascent Soul stage.
This ambush made Zhang Yu pay even closer attention to the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Righteous Alliance.
The most popular among them is the disciple of the leader of the Righteous Alliance, a cultivator named Immortal Slayer.
"Slaying Immortals?" Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Daoist title would be illegal in Kunxu, wouldn't it? What was his original Daoist title?"
Zhang Yu checked and found that no one knew the original identity of this Immortal Slayer True Monarch in the Ten Major Factions. All they knew was that since he joined the Righteous Alliance with Fu Xiantian, he had been invincible and had killed in every battle.
This ultimate move not only kills the opponent, but also kills all the passersby and spectators.
Anyone appearing on or off the battlefield without a clear righteous alliance symbol will be attacked by him.
It is said that he has killed more than a million people. Some busybodies have calculated that if he were in peacetime, the compensation he would have to pay for killings would be an astronomical figure, and they believe that the compensation for one person alone would be enough to buy a school.
This Immortal Slayer even had the feat of escaping from the hands of several Nascent Soul Divine Lords from the top ten universities on multiple occasions, and his number of resurrections to this day remains zero.
Then Zhang Yu saw another news item about a demon descendant with a Nascent Soul stage.
"The Devouring Heaven True Lord claims to be a successor of the Great Sage." Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Another forbidden title, and this 'successor of the Great Sage'..."
Zhang Yu curiously checked the information about the Devouring Heaven True Monarch and found that this Nascent Soul cultivator's identity was also a mystery. Each time he appeared, he was a different demon descendant, and even the cultivation techniques he was good at were different. Some people even thought that he was not a single demon descendant, but a group of demon descendants.
However, it was later clarified by the God of Report that the Devouring Heaven True Lord was indeed only one demon, but the number of cultivation techniques he was proficient in was the most among the Nascent Soul cultivators of the world. It was said that he was proficient in all the cultivation techniques of the ten major universities, and that the infringement fines calculated on him were enough to buy half of Kunlun Mountain.
The existence of this Devouring Heaven True Lord has encouraged countless demon descendants. He is known as the number one genius among demon descendants and the number one Nascent Soul genius in the Dark Spirit Realm. Some demons say that the existence of the Devouring Heaven True Lord proves that without the systematic oppression of human cultivators, the talents of demon descendants are no worse than those of human cultivators, and may even be higher.
Then Zhang Yu's gaze shifted, and he saw another Nascent Soul True Monarch who piqued his curiosity.
"A Junior College Graduate True Monarch? There are people who use such a Daoist title?" Zhang Yu was surprised. After carefully checking the news about the person, he was even more surprised: "A Nascent Soul cultivator who graduated from a junior college?"
According to Zhang Yu's previous predictions, even without document restrictions, it would be the limit for college students to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of time, and breaking through to the Golden Core stage would be almost impossible.
"Even for a college graduate who has been out of school for many years, it would be difficult to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than two years since the unlicensed operation began. Or perhaps they have been preparing in secret for a long time?"
Zhang Yu continued to look at the other party's information and found that this college graduate claimed to be a follower of the God of Reporting and had unleashed his potential with the help of the God of Reporting.
In the video, a middle-aged man with a buzz cut and an ordinary appearance says calmly, "I am someone whose potential has been wasted by the current education system in Kunxu."
“From childhood to adulthood, everyone has told me that I am a poor wretch, that I have no talent, and that I should just work hard and earn money.”
“I thought they were right until I met the God of Retribution.”
"He inspired my potential and made me realize that I am talented. In fact, my talent is better than those top ten academic geniuses and stronger than those who participate in the top ten leagues."
"I... I just don't have any money."
"But not having money doesn't mean you lack talent!"
"If it weren't for the current education system holding me back, I should be able to win the championship in the top ten leagues."
"In the days to come, if I have the chance, I will defeat all the outstanding players from the past ten leagues one by one, and let them understand that they can stand on the stage only because they have money. In colleges and universities... there are many geniuses who can surpass them, but are held back by not having money."
Looking at these news articles, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "Is he a True Monarch of the College? This person probably has a very strong propaganda effect on many of the lower-level cultivators of the Righteous Alliance."
After scanning through various messages, Zhang Yu received news about the auspicious god.
Auspicious God: God of Fortune! Your news has ruined my plans. Why didn't you tell me about Zhang Yu's situation in the room beforehand?
The next moment, a meeting invitation appeared in front of Zhang Yu and Fu Ji.
With their agreement, their thoughts flashed and they found themselves in a spirit world conference room.
Looking at the God of Reporting and the God of Auspiciousness in the conference room, Fu Ji said calmly, "God of Auspiciousness, you want to question me about your own failure?"
Xiang Shen snorted coldly and said, "If your intelligence hadn't missed such important information about Zhang Yu, how could this mission have failed?"
Fu Ji said, "Zhang Yu has never left his room, nor is he on the registration form of the self-study building, so my people naturally don't know that he lives there."
"Xiang Shen, it's because your men are too useless. They failed even in a three-on-one battle, and couldn't even escape. Who else can you blame?"
The auspicious deity said, "Who could have imagined that Zhang Yu had cultivated the Kunlun Palm Technique to this level?"
Fu Ji then projected a photo, taken by Yu Xinghan, taken shortly after Zhang Yu and the three Nascent Soul experts began their battle, showing the exterior of the building.
“My people were actually monitoring the scene the whole time while you were sealing it off.”
"What I'm trying to say is that if you can keep in touch with me in a timely manner and let me know your thoughts sooner, then with my support, your mission will not fail."
"Unfortunately, by the time I found out everything, it was already too late."
The God of Fortune shrugged and said, "I don't have any cultivators under my command who can break the spatial blockade, so I can only watch helplessly as you head towards defeat."
"So what I'm trying to say is that if I had known about the God of Auspiciousness's plan earlier, or if my cultivators had mastered the technology to break through spatial blockades, this mission would not have failed."
The many evil gods present were discussing among themselves. The God of Good Fortune and the God of Happiness argued for a few more minutes, but the God of Reporting eventually stopped the two of them.
The God of Report looked at Fu Ji and said, "Goddess of Fu Ji, if you want your cultivators to master the space-sealing technology, you must have them undergo a full inspection by us and completely join the Righteous Alliance."
Fu Shen said, "My subordinate cultivators still have good status and a lot of assets in the top ten universities. I can't reveal their personal secrets at will, and I can't completely join the Righteous Alliance, otherwise my intelligence work in the ten universities will not be able to proceed."
The God of Report nodded: "Both of you have done your best in this mission. The main reason for the failure was that Zhang Yu's cultivation level was beyond our expectations, so there was nothing we could do about it."
"I have already reported this matter to the Alliance Leader. He will personally take over Zhang Yu's affairs and deal with them after he comes out of seclusion..."
...
As Zhang Yu withdrew from the Dark Spirit Realm, he thought to himself, "Alliance Leader... Is the leader of the Righteous Alliance targeting me?"
The thought of being targeted by such a powerful figure made Zhang Yu feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he had thorns in his back.
Thinking about the Righteous Alliance's ongoing construction and improvement of the Evil God's Register, and the fact that they would need to investigate his identity in the future, Zhang Yu felt even more uncomfortable, as if waves of pressure were constantly coming from him, giving him a strong sense of insecurity.
"We need to hurry up and continue to improve our strength."
"We also need to upgrade the level of immortal techniques and create more products."
"And Ah Zhen..."
This time, the evil god's targeting of Bai Zhenzhen made Zhang Yu very wary.
Not long after, he contacted Magnet God and said, "Teacher, I want to arrange for Bai Zhenzhen to join the research association and be placed in my laboratory."
Upon hearing this, Magneton was slightly taken aback and frowned, saying, "Bai Zhenzhen? She's someone who plays with flying swords, why did you put her in the research association? What can she possibly research?"
Zhang Yu said, "I want to cultivate with her in the research association. It would be inconvenient for her to come in if she doesn't have an identity."
Magnetism God said, "To cultivate together, you have to join the research association? You said you've already arranged jobs and projects for so many of your subordinates? I heard that even your fellow townsmen from the same district are now leaders in your construction company."
"If you keep going like this, are you going to transfer even the soul cultivators under your command to the Spirit Realm system and let them become true gods?"
Zhang Yu said helplessly, "Teacher... having Bai Zhenzhen around is very beneficial to my cultivation."
Zhang Yu was indeed telling the truth. Each time they exchanged spiritual roots, Bai Zhenzhen's true spiritual root stimulated many aspects of Zhang Yu's cultivation that he couldn't normally access.
Although these stimuli were much weaker due to the difference in their cultivation levels, they were still quite beneficial to Zhang Yu. Combined with his own cultivation, they could improve the efficiency of his growth in physical strength and magical power.
Magnet shook his head, but thinking of the scene of Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen fighting fiercely against Kuang Tianqing with swords in the finals of the Top Ten Leagues, Magnet sighed and raised an index finger to Zhang Yu: "This is the only time, don't do it again."
...
Bai Zhenzhen readily agreed to temporarily join the research association and cultivate alongside Zhang Yu.
On the one hand, she has been fighting for a long time, and now is the time to cultivate quietly, consolidate her cultivation, and accumulate potential.
On the other hand, during the process of exchanging spiritual roots with Zhang Yu, she did feel that her cultivation efficiency had increased dramatically.
So in the days that followed, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen diligently practiced their skills at the research association every day.
Looking at the various cultivation supplies that Bai Zhenzhen kept taking out, Zhang Yu felt like he was looking at a little rich woman and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Your cultivation resources are so plentiful?"
Bai Zhenzhen explained, "Before Teacher Qiqing left, he left me all the immortal resources needed for the Golden Core stage in the sword armory, and even prepared a Nascent Soul for me."
She sighed, "She probably hopes that I can improve my strength as soon as possible, and ideally break through to the Nascent Soul realm while she's away, right? Otherwise, I won't be able to guard the sword armory."
Just then, Yan Qianji walked over, looked at Zhang Yu and said, "True Lord, do you think there's anything wrong with this expense report?"
Yan Qianji's gaze swept over Bai Zhenzhen, suppressing the slight envy in his heart.
Zhang Yu glanced at the expense report for the various material and labor costs related to the Heavenly Sun God and the Taihao Holy Law Flying Sword, and nodded slightly: "No problem, you can submit it."
After all, he fought fiercely with the three Nascent Soul cultivators during his work hours, so the damaged Heavenly Sun God and Taihao Holy Law Flying Swords naturally needed to be repaired.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It would be perfect to invite a few Nascent Soul True Monarchs to refine these two magic treasures to level 40, otherwise they will be of little use in battle."
In the days that followed, Zhang Yu spent his days in the research institute cultivating with Bai Zhenzhen, studying spatial technology, and pondering new product designs. Time passed quickly like this...
