Chapter 755 Nine Steps to Success! (Just over 100 words short of 9000; I've already paid back the words I owed yesterday, plus interest.)
Looking at the four figures radiating brilliant light, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The live stream should have started by now."
"All the interviews are being conducted simultaneously and broadcast live at the same time. I don't know how many people are watching my interview right now."
However, the next moment, Zhang Yu cleared his mind of all distractions and focused all his attention on the interview in front of him.
His gaze first swept over the four examiners in front of him, but the projections of these four examiners were so bright that their true appearances were completely obscured. They were like stars high above, whose dazzling brilliance could be seen, but whose true forms could not be discerned.
Zhang Yu understood that this was both a form of arrogance and a form of protection.
The information and data contained in the spiritual or dharma networks of these higher-level beings far exceed those in the lower-level spiritual realms.
If their information and data were transmitted completely, it would likely cause regional spiritual disturbances, or even lead to severe disruptions in the spiritual network.
So at this moment, they were merely transmitting a wisp of their thoughts through the spirit world to maintain communication during the interview.
Although his appearance was unclear, Zhang Yu was able to understand the origins of the four examiners through the text information projected from the spirit world beside him.
First, there was the examiner occupying the main seat. Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Imperial Law Pavilion, the Review Department, and Deputy Minister Lu Hengzhang. The Review Department should be considered one of the core departments of the Imperial Law Pavilion. The approval of all cultivation technique copyrights ultimately falls into the hands of this department."
"If I join the review department of the Imperial Law Pavilion in the future, this Lu Hengzhang should be my superior."
At the same time, the voice of Vice Minister Lu could be heard coming from across the spirit world.
Vice Minister Lu: "Zhang Yu, I noticed that you studied in the Civil Engineering Department from your freshman to junior year. What made you decide to transfer to the Weapon Forging Department?"
...
Kunxu, 3rd floor.
Tu Lishan, who was watching the live stream, felt a sinking feeling when he heard the question. He sighed, "They still came. And they asked this question right away. Sure enough, even though the civil engineering department in the lower realm has ushered in a new era, in the eyes of those old guys up there, civil engineering is still a major that only the poor and weak would sign up for."
On the fourth floor of Kunxu, Mo Shangjin was involved in the university reconstruction work, but today, while participating in this work, he was also watching this interview.
Hearing the interviewer's question, Mo Shangjin paused slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Even at Zhang Yu's level, the first question he was asked was still about his embarrassing history of being a civil engineering graduate?"
Feng Tingting watched the live stream with concern, thinking to herself, "Could this examiner be prejudiced against civil engineering students? Hmm, but it's unlikely that the higher-ups wouldn't discriminate against civil engineering students..."
Meanwhile, Shi Huaiyu, Ying Xin, Xiao Qingxuan, Xiangshan... countless civil engineers were watching this scene during the interview.
They all understood that the conversation between Zhang Yu and Vice Minister Lu at this moment would definitely affect the fate of countless civil engineering students in the future.
...
Outside the interview room, Yun Zhiguang watched this scene coldly from the audience, thinking to herself, "Hmph, a peasant from the Civil Engineering Department wants to join a sect? Do you think it's still a long time ago? Sects don't need this kind of low-level talent now."
Inside the interview room, Zhang Yu looked at the examiner who radiated dazzling light, as if he were looking directly at the sun in the sky.
But Zhang Yu said calmly, "Because I think the combination of civil engineering and weapon crafting is the most promising field for the future..."
Vice Minister Lu's emotionless voice came calmly: "During your enrollment, many large-scale construction projects in and around the entire Tenth University had been halted, and the economic data of the civil engineering sector had been declining year after year. How did you determine that there was potential there?"
Zhang Yu said with a firm expression, "Because the technologies of the two can complement each other to produce a 1+1>2 effect, creating a groundbreaking product."
With a flick of his finger, he projected the final battle against the Righteous Alliance on the fifth floor.
"By combining weapon crafting and civil engineering techniques, we broke through the heavens, controlled the grand formation, and completed the massive infrastructure project in a short time, thus halting the Righteous Alliance's offensive..."
As Zhang Yu finished speaking, another examiner said, "Weapon forging combined with civil engineering is still a promising field."
Zhang Yu looked in the direction from which the voice came from, towards the examiner in the deputy position.
The examiner was enveloped in a thick divine aura, as if he could see through everyone present with a single glance or thought.
Looking at the information from the spirit realm beside him, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Geng Jia Chen, a fourth-rank deity, this Geng Xun Shen must be a representative of the Heavenly Court, here to supervise this interview as a supervisory force, right?"
Zhang Yu knew that, given the power struggle between the Heavenly Court and the sects, even if someone within the sect didn't want him to pass the interview, they wouldn't present him with questions that were absolutely impossible to pass.
"With the Heavenly Court's checks and balances, no matter how difficult the questions set by the sect are, I will definitely have a chance of passing them."
Zhang Yu even had a hope that the problems he encountered would be as difficult as possible.
After all, in his view, with the Heavenly Court and the sects vying for power and in a standoff, he was under more pressure, while Bai Zhenzhen and the others might be under less pressure.
Geng Xunshen continued, "Vice Minister Lu, Zhang Yu is right. If it weren't for their weapon-forging and civil engineering skills, they wouldn't have survived until the Heavenly Court descended."
"It can be said that the combination of weapon crafting and earth and wood systems saved floors 2 to 5."
"Moreover, with the advancement of space technology, the second to fifth floors have entered an era of major reconstruction. This makes civil engineering technology even more crucial, as it is a key technology and a hot field in the new era."
As Zhang Yu demonstrated the contributions of weapon forging and civil engineering techniques to the final battle, countless people inside and outside the school subconsciously straightened their chests.
They either personally participated in the manufacturing and construction work, or they belonged to the civil engineering industry themselves, and at this moment they all felt honored.
Hearing the praise from a fourth-rank deity particularly stirred the hearts of countless civil engineering students.
Shi Huaiyu: "Even a fourth-rank deity praised the Civil Engineering Department for its promising future! I think I should just stay in the Civil Engineering Department for my postgraduate studies."
Mo Shangjin took a deep breath and revealed all the civil engineering projects hidden in his resume.
Feng Tingting quickly recorded these words: "The stain on civil engineering has been washed away from this day forward!"
Tu Lishan sighed, "This is because of Zhang Yu, the most outstanding civil engineer from the lower ranks, who has washed away the humiliation that civil engineering has suffered for many years."
Tu Lishan could foresee that in the next few years, the civil engineering department would likely become a popular major among many students, and some schools might even develop it as a flagship specialty.
Meanwhile, inside the interview room, Vice Minister Lu said calmly, "It's just an update of floors 2 to 5. The sect doesn't need this kind of civil engineering technology."
Geng Xunshen laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. If a sect wants to innovate its equipment, rebuild its infrastructure, or even reconstruct its buildings, then it will inevitably need to use civil engineering technology."
As Geng Xun Shen solemnly uttered the word "reconstruction" twice, Zhang Yu felt the atmosphere on the scene instantly become heavy. An invisible pressure seemed to unfold between the two examiners, pressing down on everyone present and even crossing the spirit realm, bringing a sense of oppression to countless spectators.
Just then, another examiner tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hehe, gentlemen, today is the Imperial Law Pavilion interview, so let's not go off-topic."
Zhang Yu looked at the speaker and, after examining the other person's spiritual information, knew that this was a cultivator from the Fuyou Pavilion who was in charge of personnel selection, appointment, and removal. Zhang Yu referred to him as Supervisor Qi.
Vice Minister Lu and Inspector Geng stopped arguing and instead announced the interview rules.
Next, four interview questions will appear in sequence. For each question, Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun must answer simultaneously, and the four examiners will score them together.
For the four examiners, reviewing the answers of both Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun at the same time was naturally not a problem.
Let alone listening to the answers of two people at the same time, listening to the answers of thousands or tens of thousands of people at the same time is also a piece of cake for them.
Zhang Yu glanced at Wu Xiang Zhenjun beside him, only to find that he could no longer see or hear him.
"Next, we'll have to answer the questions while maintaining this information isolation with Wuxiang, right?"
At the same time, Zhang Yu also noticed that they were also granted the authority to use ten sets of martial arts, including Martial Arts One, Martial Arts Two, and so on, during this interview.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It seems that the next test questions will be related to the Wuxiang Martial Arts Competition."
The next moment, the first interview question appeared.
"How to handle a serious disagreement with the cooperating examiner regarding the scope of legal protection for a technical solution?"
At the same time, a one-minute countdown appeared in the spirit world projection, representing the interviewee's preparation time.
Upon seeing this question, Shi Huaiyu thought to himself, "Could it be about bribing someone? Surely that wouldn't work in a place like a sect?"
In Ye Xingli's live stream, she is showing her fans the interview.
Looking at the question, Ye Xingli said, "Shouldn't it be about clarifying the differences, communicating professionally, then consulting with superiors, and finally summarizing and reviewing the situation? I don't know if that's feasible..."
While countless viewers were pondering how to answer the question correctly, Wuxiang Zhenjun had already spoken up.
He said, "I will quickly determine leadership based on 'rank, level of expertise, and amount of wealth' with my partners..."
“It’s all about comparing ranks, cultivation levels, and wealth…” Yun Zhiguang sat in the audience, listening to Wuxiang Zhenjun’s answer. She thought to herself, “This question tests one’s communication, organization, and coordination skills within a sect.”
"The poor listen to the rich, the rich listen to those with higher cultivation levels, and those with higher cultivation levels listen to those with higher ranks. Only by accurately judging these can one carry out work within the sect."
"And rank ultimately determines everything. Within the same department, those with higher ranks have almost complete control over those with lower ranks; this is the nature of sects."
"If you haven't even grasped this point, then you lack a cooperative mindset and a sectarian perspective."
At the same time, Yun Zhiguang was also listening to Zhang Yu's answer.
Zhang Yu: "...In conclusion, obeying my superiors is my only answer."
After answering the first question, both of them received their scores.
Seeing that both Wuxiang Zhenjun and Zhang Yu scored 80 points on the first question, Yun Zhiguang thought to himself, "Both of them used standard sect-style answers. These appetizers are not enough to differentiate them. It seems that the real questions that will determine the outcome are yet to come."
Just then, the second question appeared.
Yun Zhiguang's eyes lit up when she saw the question: "A talisman question?"
Wu Xiang Zhenjun's eyes also flickered as he looked at the question, a confident glint in them. He thought to himself, "Zhang Yu didn't minor in talismans in college, so he's not good at the theoretical knowledge of talismans. I'm sure I'll win this question."
Although after reincarnation, Wuxiang Zhenjun focused his main energy on martial arts cultivation, talismans were still a technique he used daily.
After all, whether studying or cultivating at university or on the 10th floor of Kunxu, talismans can provide a lot of convenient functions.
Zhang Yu frowned slightly, and could only try his best to retrieve the memories of the ancestral masters and use the professional theoretical knowledge of talismans in the memories to try to answer this question.
At the same time, many viewers who looked at the question also let out a long sigh.
Ye Xingli thought to herself, "Junior brother doesn't seem to be proficient in the theoretical knowledge of talismans. I wonder if he can answer this question."
The Master of Miraculous Hands said, "Why would you ask about talismans?"
The Heavenly Slaughter True Lord said, "The Imperial Law Pavilion is the institution that approves all kinds of cultivation techniques. Martial arts techniques are cultivation techniques, and talisman-type cultivation techniques are naturally also cultivation techniques. It is normal for there to be a question on it."
"However, this time it is a contest between the Heavenly Court and the sects. There are questions where Zhang Yu is at a disadvantage, but there must also be questions where Zhang Yu is at an advantage."
As Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun finished answering the questions, their scores for the second question were revealed: Zhang Yu scored 52 points and Wuxiang Zhenjun scored 80 points.
Seeing this, Bei Wufeng's heart sank: "Now Zhenjun's total score is 132, and Wuxiang's total score is 160. If we want to catch up, we must beat Wuxiang in the next two questions."
Wang Yin said angrily, "Useless Zhang Yu! After all these years, how come you still haven't put any effort into the talismans!"
Xiangshan, who was working, twitched his face and thought to himself, "You just made the Civil Engineering Department look good, don't lose here."
Tian Shenggong muttered, "It must be because he didn't use the Extreme Tiger Talisman simulator. Sigh... I should have given him a super membership so he could use it in the spirit world every day to practice his spells."
At this moment, countless viewers who saw the score difference became worried, concerned for Zhang Yu.
Meanwhile, the third interview question had already appeared before everyone.
"The two martial artists developed the 'Ten Thousand Mile Divine Fist' and the 'Gang Cloud Palm' respectively. The core principle of both is to 'convert the martial artist's internal strength into a traceable energy field,' but their application scenarios and structural designs are slightly different."
"When faced with conflicts between similar patents, how would you define the scope of protection for both to avoid duplicate licensing or protection loopholes?"
Along with the release of the question, relevant information about the two martial arts techniques was also sent to Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun.
Meanwhile, the countdown for the one-minute preparation time has already begun.
On the first floor of Kunxu, Songyang High School organized all its students to cheer each other on for the interview.
Wang Hai, the former star physical education teacher and now the principal, looked at the question and thought to himself, "Is this going to explain how to determine the differences in martial arts copyrights?"
He pondered it over and over, but all he could feel was that one minute was far too short.
Wang Hai sighed inwardly, "If it were me, I probably wouldn't even have finished reading the first few pages of one of the martial arts manuals before a minute had passed."
Looking at Zhang Yu in the picture, Wang Hai thought to himself, "Keep it up, the best student I've ever taught."
On the second floor of Kunxu, the former director of the Civil Engineering Department, though now a Soul Cultivator, was still watching the live stream.
Looking at the question, he was alarmed: "They have to read through two manuals and determine the scope of copyright protection within one minute? Can they really do that?"
On the third level of Kunxu, True Monarch Tiansha frowned: "One minute... how can one distinguish the differences in copyright protection between two such similar martial arts? Is it just a matter of explaining the method?"
Inside the audience, Yun Zhiguang watched the interviews while simultaneously scanning various information in the spirit world.
Seeing the discussions among the lower-level cultivators about the exam questions, she sneered inwardly, "Read the manual in one minute? A bunch of idiots. To pass this question, you need to be able to circulate both techniques within one minute."
"The outcome of this question was decided long before the game even started."
Inside the interview room, Wuxiang Zhenjun's face lit up with joy the moment he saw the third question.
The confidence that had been built up by the second question now swelled even more.
"This is also one of my strong points."
Wu Xiang Zhenjun recalled the guidance he had received over the past two weeks.
"Without the revelation from the seniors of the Imperial Law Pavilion, Zhang Yu probably still doesn't know that the ten martial arts techniques we practiced in the last re-examination, from Martial Arts One to Martial Arts Ten, were originally derived from a world-shaking martial art."
"These ten martial arts techniques are the secrets that the Imperial Law Pavilion uses to simulate martial arts from all over the world and speed up the review process!"
Over the past two weeks, Wuxiang Zhenjun has been studying ten sets of martial arts every day, researching how to simulate the secrets of martial arts from Martial Arts One to Martial Arts Ten.
The profound and subtle nature of these techniques left even a martial arts expert like himself, who had dedicated two lifetimes to studying martial arts, constantly marveling at their intricacies. Had someone not revealed the secrets of these ten martial arts techniques to him, he probably would have spent another year trying to master them and achieve the same level of martial arts prowess.
After quickly reading through the two manuals for a minute, Wuxiang Zhenjun suddenly unleashed a burst of qi from his body.
Level 10 Thousand-Mile Divine Fist - Simulated Propulsion!
The next moment, he suddenly simulated the "Ten Thousand Mile Divine Fist," unleashing bursts of energy like cannon fire, creating a series of loud explosions.
He then transformed his fist into a palm, and his inner energy surged forth like clouds and mist.
Level 10 Gangyun Palm - Simulated Propulsion!
After simulating the two martial arts techniques, he was fully aware of the differences between them and the scope of copyright protection, so he began to answer.
At this moment, Wuxiang Zhenjun thought to himself, "Hehe, I'm afraid that countless cultivators on floors 1 to 10 are already shocked and amazed by my simulation of two major martial arts techniques in just one minute..."
At this moment, countless cultivators on all ten levels were indeed shocked, but not because of True Monarch Wuxiang, but because of Zhang Yu.
Just as Wuxiang Zhenjun was simulating the two great martial arts techniques, Zhang Yu also conducted a simulation.
Level 40 Thousand-Mile Divine Fist - Simulated Propulsion!
Level 40 Gangyun Palm - Simulated Propulsion!
Simultaneous simulations on both sides effectively laid bare the gap between them.
Compared to the way Wu Xiang Zhenjun's punch created a powerful and turbulent atmosphere, Zhang Yu's punch at this moment seemed to overturn the heavens and the earth. The violent energy was like the Milky Way pouring down, as if it would blast a hole in the sky.
Seeing this, the Master of Miraculous Healing exclaimed in shock, "What... what's going on? Could it be that Zhang Yu practiced these two martial arts before?"
Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch shook his head, his emotions running high, and said, "It's impossible for them to ask questions they've already learned."
The expert exclaimed in surprise, "You've mastered a martial art to this level in just one minute? Is that even possible?"
Even the Heavenly Killing True Monarch felt shocked and puzzled: "It's really impossible."
As Zhang Yu continued his explanation, countless viewers realized that Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun were simulating the activation of these two martial arts techniques.
Inside Songyang High School on the first floor of Kunxu, countless teachers and students watched this scene with shining eyes, looking at Zhang Yu on the screen as if he were an immortal.
Wang Hai couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.
Listening to what the two people were saying during the interview, Miao Shou exclaimed in amazement, "Is there really such a miraculous martial art in the world? To be able to simulate and operate a martial art in just one minute? It's unbelievable."
The Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch said, "It is indeed unbelievable, but there is an absolute difference between the unbelievable and the unbelievable."
"Compared to Wuxiang Zhenjun, Zhang Yu was actually able to simulate and operate the level 40 effect, which is simply divine skill. It means that the two are worlds apart in their understanding of martial arts."
However, Tian Sha Zhenjun also understood that although there was a huge difference in the simulation results between the two, the interview question was to test the final judgment on the scope of copyright protection of the two martial arts. Although the difference in martial arts had an advantage, it would not result in a huge difference in scores.
The next moment, the scores of the two for the third question also appeared, and the difference between them was indeed as Tian Sha Zhen Jun had predicted, not a world of difference.
Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch thought to himself, "But we've recovered quite a bit."
Zhang Yu scored 95 points, and Wuxiang Zhenjun scored 75 points.
"Great! Now Zhang Zong has 227 and Wu Xiang has 235. The gap has been narrowed in an instant!" Seeing this, Shi Huaiyu quickly bought some more Yu Zhai to celebrate.
At the construction site, amidst the buzzing vibrations, Fu Xinyao cursed, "Don't get so excited, the concrete is spilling out."
Ping Han said, "That was a great win! We should be able to catch up on the next question, right?"
Outside the interview room, Yun Zhiguang's gaze sharpened as she watched this scene, thinking to herself, "Zhang Yu... there shouldn't be anyone in the Imperial Law Pavilion who would teach him. Who exactly guided this guy? How could he have cultivated from Martial Arts One to Martial Arts Ten to such a level in such a short time?"
At this moment, Yun Zhiguang realized that her previous assessment of Zhang Yu's talent had been seriously flawed.
The martial arts talent displayed by the other party was even more impressive than she had anticipated.
The Heavenly Court's assistance to Zhang Yu was probably far beyond her expectations.
Yun Zhiguang couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Those guys in the Heavenly Court have no shame at all! Helping Zhang Yu improve to this level in such a short time? What's the difference between that and cheating?"
"For the last question, we have to shut him down."
Yun Zhiguang squinted as she looked at the next interview question, and when she saw the content of this last interview question, she couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.
“A cultivator has submitted a patent application for the ‘Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique’, claiming that it combines modern body-refining techniques with traditional ancient martial arts and can greatly enhance body refinement.”
"However, this technology has been accused of 'plagiarizing the secret texts of the ancient sect, Shenxiangmen,' and neither side can provide a complete chain of evidence for its inheritance. What investigative and evidentiary methods would you employ to distinguish between 'reproduction of ancient texts' and 'technological innovation'?"
Seeing the last question, Yun Zhiguang gradually relaxed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
"Wuxiang is sure to win this round."
The reason she was able to make this judgment was simply because the information Yun Zhiguang possessed convinced her of it.
"The martial arts techniques from Martial Arts One to Martial Arts Ten, although they are the unique tools used by the Imperial Law Pavilion to examine martial arts techniques and are said to be able to simulate all martial arts in the world... are ultimately limited."
"Not to mention those higher-level immortal techniques that are difficult to imitate, there is another kind of martial art... that is difficult to use even if imitated."
Yun Zhiguang knew that the martial art was a body-refining technique.
"After all, body-refining techniques require tempering the body step by step. Only by tempering can the level of the technique increase. The level of a body-refining technique is not only a reflection of martial arts skills, but also closely related to the physical condition."
"In other words, even if you can simulate martial arts, it is still difficult to make various judgments about body-refining techniques."
Yun Zhiguang understood that if that were all, the two sides would simply be starting from the same point.
But there was another piece of information, information that was only known within the sect and that the Heavenly Court had absolutely no access to.
“True Lord Wuxiang, this guy inherited the legacy of an ancient sect in his previous life.”
"That sect is the Divine Elephant Sect."
"Zhang Yu could never surpass him in his understanding of the Divine Elephant Sect's secret manual."
"In particular, this technique has simple moves and is not complicated, so it is easier for Wuxiang Zhenjun to understand it."
"And the Heavenly Court has not yet fully grasped the data within the areas governed by these sects, which... is the reason for your defeat."
Just as Yun Zhiguang was quickly analyzing and making a judgment in his mind, Deng Bingding on the other side felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"It's actually a body-refining technique?"
Deng Bingding thought to himself, "If this body-refining technique is examined, simple simulation won't be useful, right? If I can't catch up on this question... then I'll lose."
"Zhang Yu... what should we do?"
Meanwhile, countless viewers on floors 1 through 10 were also pondering the difficulty of this final question.
Su Yanyang thought to himself, "Body-refining techniques are not something that can take effect in a short time. To judge their effectiveness, one needs to make predictions in advance."
The Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch murmured, "At this moment, what will be tested is the accumulation of both sides in body-refining martial arts. Whoever has more accumulation and deeper experience will be able to make more accurate judgments."
The Master of Miraculous Hands said, "This Wu Xiang is several decades older than Zhang Yu, and his accumulated experience in body refinement is probably no less than Zhang Yu's."
On the first floor of Kunxu, Wang Hai stood up without realizing it. Looking at Zhang Yu during the interview, he seemed to see that student diligently practicing body refinement in the cultivation room again.
His fists clenched unconsciously: "Zhang Yu is exceptionally talented and has amazing drug resistance. I knew he was a good candidate for body tempering the first time I saw him. He'll definitely be fine."
At the same time, as the one-minute countdown ended, Wuxiang Zhenjun confidently began to answer: "The Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Skill has no real innovation. The principles of immortality contained within it, as well as the logic of combining it with ancient martial arts, have long been included in the secret manuals of the Divine Elephant Sect..."
"The core principles of both are exactly the same; only the form has been adjusted, so they are essentially replicas..."
While speaking, Wuxiang Zhenjun demonstrated the effect of the first level of the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique, showing his understanding of this technique.
In addition, his explanation was well-reasoned and organized. He was very knowledgeable about both the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Skill and the Divine Elephant Sect's secret manual. Even viewers who had no knowledge of these two martial arts found his explanations insightful and persuasive.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, did not respond immediately. He simply stood there, seemingly lost in silence.
Seeing this, Vice Minister Lu said, "Zhang Yu."
Looking at Zhang Yu, who remained silent, Vice Minister Lu said coldly, "Zhang Yu, answer the question immediately."
As the red warning light flashed, countless viewers felt a sharp pang in their hearts, knowing that if they didn't start answering the interview questions within three seconds, they would be eliminated.
Seeing this, Zhao Tianxing felt a surge of tension: "Ayu!"
While working overtime, Chang Buxiu watched the live stream and thought to himself, "True Lord Zhuyi won't lose!"
In the first-floor protected area, An'an, a red panda also watching the live stream, couldn't help but clasp her hands together, as if she were praying.
But Zhang Yu was still waiting...waiting...waiting...
At this moment, time seemed to slow down to its absolute limit in his consciousness.
Whether it was the divine light surrounding them, the examiner's voice, or the countdown flashing before their eyes, everything slowed down to its limit at this moment.
This is because Zhang Yu's perception of time and space has become incredibly acute after layers of thought in his mind have accelerated to their limits.
At this moment, the sixteen white oxen in Zhang Yu's mind roared wildly, as if trying to squeeze out every inch of potential and every bit of resource in his mind.
And the direction in which these resources and potential are poured out is Zhang Yu's sixteen demon beast clones.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's sixteen demonic beast clones were shrinking and converging into his body, where they were frantically cultivating the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique.
He devoted every ounce of his mental energy and every bit of his physical strength to the cultivation of the "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique".
The sixteen demonic beast clones brought a 16-fold acceleration to cultivation.
The 12th level of the Nascent Soul Holy Body brings a full 3.4 times the cultivation efficiency.
Thus, Zhang Yu, who appeared to be standing still at this moment, was pushing the "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique" forward at a speed of 54.4 times the normal efficiency.
Finally, urged by the examiners, with only one second left on the countdown, and under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, classmates, teachers, colleagues, and companions, Zhang Yu moved.
As soon as he took his first step, his body swelled up dramatically, revealing the effects of the Level 2 "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique".
He then took the second step, his muscles twitching, his internal and external energy roaring, emitting a beast-like howl as he activated the Level 4 of the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique!
With each step he took, the strange phenomena surrounding Zhang Yu surged, and his figure instantly grew from two meters to ten meters tall. Layers of protective energy transformed into a golden divine elephant armor that enveloped him.
The layers of flesh gradually revealed a rough, demonic appearance.
With nine consecutive steps, Zhang Yu had already pushed the "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique" to a full level 20.
Compared to the extraordinary phenomena of his cultivation technique, anyone could see the vast difference in skill between the two when compared to that of the Martial Village True Lord beside him.
Nine steps to success!
Seeing this, Wang Hai suddenly raised both fists, pointed at Zhang Yu on the screen, and laughed loudly to the students below: "This is my student."
The Heavenly Slaughter True Monarch was utterly shocked: "Within nine steps, he actually pushed a body-refining technique to such an extent?!"
Wang Yinshu let out a breath, then a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "Is this your true talent? Losing to you back then... it seems it wasn't unjust."
Ping Han said in a loud voice, "See that? This is the guy who beat me back then! Losing to him wasn't my fault, I was just unlucky... just unlucky..."
Hearing the crying coming from the magic artifact, Fu Xinyao patted it and comforted it, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Everyone knows, we really were just unlucky."
Meanwhile, in the audience outside the interview room, Yun Zhiguang's expression changed drastically as she watched this scene: "It's not a simulated cultivation technique... This guy... This guy actually pushed a body-refining technique to this level in one fell swoop? And it's level 20?!"
Regardless, Yun Zhiguang knew that this performance far surpassed that of Wuxiang Zhenjun.
Let alone Wuxiang Zhenjun, none of the sect disciples in the audience could do this without relying on any external aids.
Yun Zhiguang stared intently at Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu..."
But she still held a glimmer of hope: "If both sides make the same judgment and reach similar conclusions, then Wuxiang won't fall too far behind him, and there will still be a chance to win..."
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Zhang Yu slowly spoke, "Based on my experience of pushing this body-refining technique to level 20, it incorporates a new energy flow logic from demonic martial arts."
"This martial art is not a simple copy, but an innovation."
Please vote for me!
