Compared to the Civil Engineering Department still studying how to exert brute force, the Finance Department has already completely surpassed us in terms of overall layout.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can working desperately on a construction site compare to global resource allocation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ying Xin swept a glance at Ji Yuanshu's bunker, then looked at Zhang Yu's bunker, and thought to herself: \"On one side is a construction site with ample funds and overtime pay; on the other side... it looks like a project that was completed but still owes the contractor money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought: \"The outcome is already decided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as similar thoughts emerged in everyone's minds, the seventh wave of attacks on the field had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue lightning flashed in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the attack even began, the free electric charges in the air made the hairs of all the Foundation Establishment class students stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students with strong perception could even feel that powerful electromagnetic forces were being summoned from above the ceiling, which was over ten meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Jin thought: \"Is the power of the Primordial Magnetic Passage being mobilized? Indeed, each wave of attacks is stronger than the last, and the gap between waves is increasing, allowing for a more accurate differentiation of student performance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that also means the gap between the top students and others will be larger; there won't be a case where someone scores 100 only because the total is 100.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this wave of lightning techniques, Zhang Yu's bunker will probably be broken open...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gongshu Jin was pondering, bolts of lightning carried dazzling electric light, falling like pillars of thunder towards the remaining two bunkers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid crackling explosions, the blinding lightning swallowed the entire building in an instant, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lightning gradually dissipated, the air smelled of high-temperature burning. The ground in the center of the examination field was charred black, and large amounts of sand and soil had turned into viscous liquid under the high heat, now cooling into a glassy substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Yuanshu's bunker still stood amidst the hot air, appearing unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Yu's bunker on the other side, although its outer walls were scorched black, also remained standing with its main structure intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after the eighth wave of attacks ended, accompanied by violent flames and explosions that then dissipated... on the outer wall of Ji Yuanshu's bunker, a large patch of the formation's fluorescence was erased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the weakest point of the formation's power, a huge crack appeared, vaguely revealing the interior of the bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Zhang Yu's bunker, aside from darker scorch marks, had no further damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!\" Gongshu Jin stared at this scene in shock: \"How is that possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bunker with the perfectly operating formation was blasted open with a crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bunker with the intermittently operating formation remained unharmed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Gongshu Jin, but almost all the students present found it hard to understand how this scene came about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin of the peace faction was also slightly surprised, but unlike the students who could only guess in their minds, his spiritual projection flickered and instantly arrived inside Zhang Yu's bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the extra reinforced concrete pillars inside the bunker, his brows raised slightly, and a guess vaguely emerged in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without continuing to observe, Director Lin waved his hand to summon the inspection report for analysis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, just by observing the operational status of the formations on both sides, Director Lin believed Ji Yuanshu had sealed the victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation at this moment made him understand that things were not that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, lines of data, photos, video materials, and inspection evaluations of the bunker in front of him appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty layers of explosion-proof armor were poured...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seismic isolation layer is installed between the foundation and the rock mass to reduce the transmission of explosive vibrations...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand, gravel, and alloys consume kinetic energy at multiple levels...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dense reinforced concrete columns, multiple parallel load-bearing systems...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And viscous damping structures at critical nodes absorb explosive energy, further mitigating structural damage...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at those lines of records, even Director Lin was slightly stunned: \"So many redundant structures?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In three hours... his construction output was more than twice that of the others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid—did he achieve this step solely through pure civil engineering skills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Director Gao's figure appeared beside Director Lin. Looking at the remarkably solid bunker before them, he said with a slight smile: \"Director Lin, as you yourself said, which truly impregnable fortress was ever breached from the outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On projects, the finance department might stir up trouble, but on the exam field, it’s only cold steel and concrete—ultimately, our civil engineering skills decide the outcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin casually closed the data floating before him and sneered: \"Director Gao, don’t celebrate too early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Zhang Yu’s construction efficiency is impressive, but steel and concrete have their limits. They will soon reach the fatigue limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But fortune’s favor, the trend of the times, and the convergence of spiritual mechanisms—these are the forces of heaven and earth, and they are boundless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze seemed to pierce through countless obstacles, reaching the bunker of Ji Huanshu on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the infusion of spiritual veins, the weakened array power was restored, quickly reaching its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The array can be restored to its peak over and over again. Can this bunker do the same?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Lin said with implication: \"With money comes fortune, and countless opportunities. No matter how skilled you are or how hard your steel is, how many times can you afford to lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao stood his ground, looking at the other calmly: \"No one can be undefeated forever. I just need to fight until the very end in this match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, let’s see who can stand till the end.\" Director Lin stared fixedly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, their wills seemed to cross multiple spiritual realms, colliding and surging in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the ninth wave of attacks descended from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, Yin thunder exploded violently, sweeping out in all directions with pitch-black thunderous light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the impact of the thunder, the power of the array outside Ji Huanshu’s bunker surged violently, layer after layer of defense being unraveled by the Yin thunder, and signs of collapse began to appear on the outer walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the tenth wave—the most powerful wave—arrived, thunder dragons descended from the sky, their explosions, high temperatures, and electromagnetic pulses forcing the nearby students to retreat repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Huanshu’s bunker trembled violently, eventually collapsing gradually under the bombardment of tsunami-like shockwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the assault ended, the originally three-story bunker was reduced to only the last floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Zhang Yu’s bunker... aside from partial collapse of one outer wall, the main structure remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Director Lin frowned sharply: \"Even with more than twice the reinforcement output, this shouldn’t be possible. What else did he do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Zhang Yu’s construction records appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao smiled slightly and instructed Tulishan: \"Take the students to see it on site, let them learn from it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Tulishan, Gongshu Jin, Ying Xin, Li Xiao, and Yu Xinghan entered the examination field one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping on the still scorching ground, they slowly walked up to the bunker Zhang Yu had built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing the large number of internal redundant structures, Gongshu Jin exclaimed in surprise: \"In just three hours, he built all this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tulishan said: \"This is where Zhang Yu is truly impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today, I brought you in to see his work so you can understand the real gap between yourselves and him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he tapped his fingertip lightly, and a video appeared before everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For post-examination verification, recording, and monitoring, the entire exam process of each examinee in the field is filmed and recorded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the video now playing was Zhang Yu’s construction process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If seeing the human-shaped vital energy dashing back and forth, working like an entire construction team, had only slightly surprised the students...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what Tulishan said next left them somewhat stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tulishan said calmly: \"Zhang Yu maintained this pace of construction for three full hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to the scenes of Zhang Yu taking medicine repeatedly during the construction, Tu Lishan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: \"Such absorption of medicinal power, such load-bearing capacity, and that fiercely strong physique that can be squeezed again and again... truly a born Earth and Wood Saint Body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought flashed through his mind, then Tu Lishan continued, \"Of course, relying on these alone still wouldn't be enough to hold out against ten waves of attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The key to his being able to do this lies in the construction materials.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1768,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","8243b89ba8384fb86a649cbf92af9e3cc612e0b78526232cda8958c1a69c523c","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-356","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-354",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
