Chapter 703 The Great Sage Successor of the Devouring Heaven True Monarch (Seeking monthly votes, 8500 votes today)
Kunxu has three levels and a large hollow.
Wanfa University is located in an office on the third floor of the teaching area.
Mo Shangjin, who has now been admitted to the Weapon Forging Department and officially become a graduate student in the department, is currently receiving guidance from his mentor.
“Mo Shangjin, since you transferred from the Department of Civil Engineering, you should know how hard-won this opportunity is.”
“If it were before, a student like you wouldn’t even be able to get into the weapon crafting department.”
"But ask yourself, have you worked hard enough? Don't tell me you have to work part-time and participate in war. There are plenty of students in the weapon crafting department who are fighting while taking exams. Do you think you can skip exams just because you're fighting?"
"Mo Shangjin, don't think that just because Principal Qingmu is your teacher, you can just coast along under my wing."
"I hate it when people talk about nepotism. No matter who you are, your connections don't work with me."
Mo Shangjin listened respectfully to the speech of the True Lord of the North Sea. He knew that it was not easy for him to get into the weapon crafting department, and he owed a great deal to the influence of the God of Green Wood. Therefore, he cherished the opportunity.
The North Sea True Lord before him wasn't targeting him personally; he was strict with every student.
After reprimanding Mo Shangjin, Beihai Zhenjun turned to another student and said, "What about the things I asked you to look at last time? Which papers and literature have you read? Don't give me excuses. Graduate students are not undergraduates. If you have this kind of mentality, you can change your advisor."
"And you, what about the task I assigned you three days ago? Still not finished? Three whole days! The Civil Engineering department could have built a building, and the Security Department could have killed hundreds or thousands of people. You can't even do such a simple task? This isn't a matter of ability, it's a matter of your attitude..."
As the True Lord of the North Sea delivered his address, the atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly oppressive.
Just then, the North Sea True Lord's eyes suddenly flickered, and then he laughed.
Mo Shangjin and the others exchanged glances, wondering who their mentor was talking to. They rarely remembered seeing the North Sea True Monarch with such a friendly smile.
The next moment, True Lord Beihai said, "True Lord Zhuyi, everyone in the department knows your situation. With your level, what classes do you still need to take? Are we going to teach you, or are you going to teach us?"
As a Nascent Soul True Monarch who participated in the previous support operation for Zhang Yu, the North Sea True Monarch had long understood the importance that the Magnetic Pole placed on Zhang Yu.
He said humbly, "It's nothing, it's nothing. You can take as much leave as you want."
"It's our course arrangement that's inadequate; we absolutely cannot delay the research association's plans."
"Okay...okay...okay...please give my regards to the principal for me."
After ending the call, True Lord Beihai looked at the students in front of him and said indifferently, "If you had the abilities of True Lord Zhuyi, I wouldn't need to lecture you every day like this."
"Alright, everyone disperse. Make sure you implement everything I just said. I'll talk to you again in a few days."
The students, as if granted a pardon, quickly dispersed.
Hearing these words, Mo Shangjin felt a pang of emotion: "Is True Lord Zhuyi Zhang Yu? I never thought that the junior who was following me around just a few years ago would have reached this point."
On the other side, after Zhang Yu and Beihai Zhenjun took leave, they once again devoted themselves to their own cultivation, gradually improving the level of the "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier".
After all, the level of this immortal technique is related to his achievements in space technology research.
The intensity of the battle, the research on space technology by various schools, and the launch and competition of various space products all seemed like hands pushing Zhang Yu from behind, making him accelerate...accelerate...accelerate again.
However, besides studying the "Three Realms and Ten Directions Great Void Barrier", Zhang Yu naturally couldn't neglect his own cultivation.
After his battle with the three Nascent Soul experts and learning of the Righteous Alliance leader's attention to him, Zhang Yu became increasingly focused on improving his own strength.
In particular, the improvement of various basic data is not only related to the performance of one's own abilities, but also to the growth of the Nascent Soul.
They saw that while Zhang Yu was practicing the immortal arts, his nascent soul, like a human body formed from a cloud of mist, was circulating martial arts not far behind him, unleashing bursts of fist winds and palm shadows, constantly adapting to the power inherited from his original body.
"Once each of the basic data points—Dao Heart, Magic Power, and Physical Strength—reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is completely inherited by the Nascent Soul, the Nascent Soul will undergo an evolution."
"The final form of a Nascent Soul is one that has undergone three complete evolutions."
While Zhang Yu was fully immersed in his cultivation and studies, an even more intense conflict broke out on the battlefield.
Although the top ten universities have continuously launched space products, greatly enhancing the cultivators' combat power and their ability to resist space blockade.
However, the Righteous Alliance's technology has also been upgraded, with various deployments being faster and covering a wider area. Spatial barriers that can even completely isolate signals from the spirit world are constantly appearing.
Technological advancements have intensified the battle between the two sides.
However, ordinary people cannot see the situation on the front lines; they can only sense the escalating intensity of the war through propaganda formulas from the spirit world and the dark spirit world.
In the spirit world.
Ye Xingli sighed in the live broadcast room: "It's another letter of appeal from the Righteous Alliance. It is said that after this college student went to the Righteous Alliance, he had no job and no income. He could only hunt and farm on his own, living the most primitive and hopeless life."
"I want everyone to understand that the Righteous Alliance is definitely not a paradise for college students. They take college students there to leave you with nothing to do, to completely cut off your hope, and to make you only able to believe in demonic cults and evil gods after you become useless."
In the dark spirit world.
Liangyan Zhenjun projected a line chart and said, "This is the production data of magic weapons in the top ten universities over the past year. As you can see, the production has been declining for the last three months, and has fallen to less than 50% of what it used to be."
"The top ten universities are experiencing wave after wave of unemployment. Cement is in high demand, prices have increased several times over, and the whole society is in dire straits. Every day, tens of thousands of college students want to join the Righteous Alliance."
"I dare say that the top ten are about to collapse; they won't last much longer."
As the war between the two sides intensified, the Netherworld University soon launched its own space product.
During the press conference, Yin Quan Shenjun said, "Traditional spatial products, although they are said to be able to deflect attacks, often consume too much mana. They can only deflect a few attacks before exhausting the mana in the product, and it is even difficult to continue to maintain the expansion and contraction of the space. In the end, the ability to deflect attacks gradually becomes a decoration."
"The Xuanming Pearl launched by our school has specifically improved the mana capacity to address this issue, enabling it to have an ultra-long standby time and an ultra-large space, making deflection attacks a truly reliable means of defense."
"Moreover, to ensure quality, the human bones used in each Xuanming Pearl are made from bones that have been grown and polished in the human bone farm for 6 months. We will never use bones that have been grown in 3 months!"
Looking at the product launch from Youming University, Tian Shenggong frowned secretly: "This is specifically designed for the battlefield environment; they're trying to seize the war market."
He soon learned that, as expected, many schools, and even many cultivators from the top ten, had specifically purchased the Xuanming Pearl in order to use it on the battlefield.
In response to competition, Xianbing University was the first to launch a price reduction offensive, announcing discounts on interest rates for all installment payments.
Following the high-end and low-end markets, the war market is also being gradually eroded, and competition in the personal space product market is becoming increasingly fierce.
...
Inside the factory outside the large cavity.
Yu Xinghan walked with Zhang Yu and introduced him to the factory construction progress.
This is the magic weapon factory that Zhang Yu specially built for himself.
After making a fortune for his company by relying on space technology, Zhang Yu began planning to build his own production line to create the magical artifacts he needed.
"Although my own attack power is insufficient, if I activate the Taixu Cloud Treasury, I can unleash countless magical treasures, which will make up for this."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "If I had more magical treasures prepared for the battle against Taihao and the other two, the battle might have been much easier."
As for Zhang Yu's idea, Yu Xinghan could only describe it as an offensive of throwing spirit coins.
Just after the two sides finished discussing the construction details of the factory, Yu Xinghan's voice suddenly rang in Zhang Yu's mind: "Zhang Yu, are we... actually part of the Righteous Alliance?"
This is the power that Fukuhime possessed after her evil god power increased, allowing believers to communicate directly from heart to heart across thousands of miles.
This question had been weighing on Yu Xinghan's mind for a long time.
After all, they were followers of evil gods, while the Righteous Alliance was full of evil gods and their followers, which made Yu Xinghan wonder.
Since his Three-Eyed Divine Power was upgraded last time, he can learn other people's martial arts skills almost instantly with just a glance.
Even during the last time he tipped off Zhang Yu, Yu Xinghan personally witnessed Zhang Yu's solo battle against three Nascent Soul cultivators, and since then he has felt that he has learned something as well.
But Yu Xinghan dared not use it, yet he felt unbearably stifled.
Especially after the great changes in the world, all kinds of unlicensed cultivators and unlicensed techniques spread everywhere, which made Yu Xinghan feel even more uncomfortable. He clearly had a lot of skills, but he dared not use them at all. He even had to deliberately endure and suppress his cultivation.
Upon hearing Yu Xinghan's question, Zhang Yu thought for a moment and then said in his mind, "Although we are all believers of the evil god, we are not members of the Righteous Alliance. We cannot even be considered members of the evil god. At most, we are just using the power of the evil god to achieve our goals."
He said to Yu Xinghan, "When you have time, come to the research institute's office to see me. You can watch me and Azhen's cultivation, and I can help you improve your magic power."
...
Kunxu is a three-story site, a post-war ruin.
A demon with a bull's head was leaping back and forth in the darkness.
This bull demon is a demonic incarnation created by Zhang Yu using the Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Nerve, and it is being manipulated by him through the spirit world.
The "Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Technique," a dark art passed down from the Great Sage, not only allows the user to transform themselves but also enables them to create demonic incarnations.
Back when the top ten leagues were underway, Zhang Yu used this technique in conjunction with the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor to create several small dragons.
However, in order to conceal the mystery of "The Myriad Transformations of the Demon Saint", the little dragon he created was rather crude, unlike the lifelike bull demon of today, which is like a demon with its own intelligence and will.
This bull demon, currently under Zhang Yu's control, is tasked with completing the mission of the Righteous Alliance.
Recently, Zhang Yu himself has been staying at the research institute, sending out his demon avatars as followers of the God of Fortune to carry out missions.
Although Zhang Yu hasn't had time to cultivate the "Demon Saint's Myriad Transformations Manual" yet, leaving the technique at only level twenty-something and his differentiated demon avatar at only the early Golden Core stage, it's still enough to help him accumulate merit and improve Fu Ji's authority within the Righteous Alliance.
When he arrived at the mission location and saw the wary cultivators in front of him, Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "What's with those looks?"
"Hmm? You think I'm a demon descendant, so I'm bad, unruly, and immoral, and you're worried I'll double-cross you and steal your things?"
"Are you discriminating against people of the demon race?"
"You discriminate against someone like me, a demon who has risked my life countless times for the Righteous Alliance, whose brothers died while completing missions, and who is now fighting on the front lines?"
Having completed numerous missions using his demon avatar during this period, Zhang Yu is already quite experienced in dealing with discrimination from demons.
After he unleashed a torrent of abuse, the members of the Righteous Alliance who were also there to complete the mission felt helpless and eventually apologized to him.
Just then, a burst of wild laughter rang out: "Good! Well said!"
A monkey demon descended from the sky with terrifying pressure, sweeping its long staff horizontally towards the crowd, baring its teeth and shouting, "Who's discriminating against demons here?"
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, "A Nascent Soul level demon?"
The next moment, the monkey demon shouted again, "Hand over everything in your pockets, and I'll let you go this time."
"You son of a bitch..." Zhang Yu cursed inwardly upon hearing this, "How are you going to stop people from discriminating against those of the demon race if you act like this?"
Immediately afterwards, the monkey demon glanced around and looked at Zhang Yu: "Little Niu Niu, you are very good. I, the True Lord, appreciate you very much. You only need to hand over half of the goods."
Zhang Yu couldn't help but say, "I have to pay half? I'm also a demon descendant."
A fierce glint flashed in the monkey demon's eyes as he said, "Junior, that's why I only took half from you."
"Remember this: I am the successor of the Great Sage. In this Kunxu, who in heaven and on earth doesn't owe the Great Sage? You all owe him! You are just paying off your debts now! It is only natural for me to seize heaven and earth!"
Having said that, he flashed away, bringing with him a gust of demonic wind, and snatched all the magical treasures and magical artifacts from everyone's bodies. When he swept his gaze over Zhang Yu, he cursed "poor beast" and then disappeared without a trace.
He left only one sentence: "I've taken the items, and I've accepted this mission. You can go back on your own."
...
During the research meeting.
Zhang Yu, who was practicing immortal arts, frowned: "This guy is the Devouring Heaven True Monarch? The Great Sage successor of the Righteous Alliance?"
Zhang Yu shook his head, controlling his demon avatar to lie in wait, preparing for the next mission.
Just a few days later, Tianmo University also launched its latest space product.
Zhang Yu's projection appeared at the press conference, where the Evil Lotus God stood on the stage and said, "For the ultimate product experience, every Heavenly Demon Treasure we produce will be equipped with a spirit-like artifact."
"The spirit-like technology, entirely developed independently by our school, will bring every user the most advanced intelligent experience, allowing your personal storage space to easily handle multitasking, collecting and storing large quantities of materials, or providing support in high-intensity battles, with a significant improvement in smoothness..."
