Is there payment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yang was the same senior who had accompanied Zhang Yu alongside Boss Wang in the underground cemetery earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhang Yu asked Shi Huaiyu beside him: \"I found someone, a senior from Grade Seven, but he might want payment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu waved his hand and said, \"I'll talk to him; give me his contact info.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, other students were still contacting Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongshu Jin: \"Can I count as one? Even as a substitute is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"How much are you paying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin: \"Senior Brother, can I come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought of the bone ash at home and replied, \"I'll try to keep a substitute spot for you, but you know the rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Xin: \"I know! I'll pay the substitute fee.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiao: \"Transfer: 0.0001 spirit coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"Xiao Li, I won't take this money from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"You're different from the others; focus on your studies first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the civil engineering competition, besides the six official players, three substitute players could also be registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since substitutes can also earn composite scores, many teams capable of competing for rankings sell substitute spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xuan's team had been the same before, but Zhang Yu hadn't gotten any of the money back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan: \"How much for the substitute spot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"The price hasn't been set yet. I'll discuss it with the team and let you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that the full team wasn't even assembled yet, but there were already too many substitutes to arrange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, another figure stepped into the simulation construction site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the sudden arrival, Zhang Yu and the others activated their Foundation Establishment domains to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator Xiao Qingxuan has approached within 10 meters of you. Please be careful! This user's debt exceeds 10,000 spirit coins. He is unable to repay any losses he causes you. Please keep your distance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Foundation Establishment domain descended, Zhang Yu and the other three all turned their heads sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man, two meters tall, with dark skin and wearing a mismatched set of Dharma prosthetics, was slowly walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at this man and hearing about his debt of over 10,000 spirit coins, Che Yufei felt as if the man was a debt black hole, frantically devouring everything around him, even the light seemed to be consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Che Yufei exclaimed in his heart, \"A debt of over 10,000 spirit coins? Is this guy a terrorist? That's a ten-thousand-negative?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yunxiang whooshed backward, putting everyone in front of him, and thought, \"Why?! Why is a person who owes over 10,000 spirit coins still standing alive in front of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu retreated behind Shi Yunxiang, thinking, \"Are we seeing a ghost? No, even a ghost wouldn't be here owing that much…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man seemed already used to the tension from Che Yufei and the others. He simply looked at Shi Huaiyu and said flatly, \"Tuli Shan referred me. Are you still short of people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu's eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Qingxuan and said, \"Everyone, don't be nervous. Senior Xiao owes a lot of money, but he's not dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Che Yufei cursed inwardly, \"How could someone broke to -10,000 spirit coins not be dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu said, \"He's a corporate legal representative.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Che Yufei and Shi Yunxiang silently understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Che Yufei asked again, \"Are you a student from Dajiu? Ranked 40th in the whole department, how did you become a legal representative?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan didn't speak; instead, Shi Huaiyu explained, \"When Xiao Qingxuan was at a field construction site, he accidentally fell into an ancient tomb and encountered an ancient cultivator trying to possess him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Later, to regain control of his body, he found an opportunity to trick the ancient cultivator into becoming a corporate legal representative and taking on debt, which ultimately scared him away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shi Huaiyu's explanation, Zhang Yu and the other two looked at Xiao Qingxuan with strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shi Huaiyu's account was simple, the three of them understood that there must have been many twists and turns, with countless exciting details, especially since he was still able to attend school in one piece…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuki evaluated, \"There's an unfathomable depth behind this guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu said happily, \"With Senior Xiao and Junior Zhang joining, plus Tian Yang… we've got the numbers now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, after learning the team's composition, Tian Yang also acknowledged that this team had a chance to compete for the top ten and stopped talking about money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three substitute spots were sold to Yu Xinghan, Gongshu Jin, and Ying Xin, thanks to Zhang Yu's introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six team members split the money from selling the substitute spots, each receiving 0.2 spirit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The team is complete, the substitute spots are sold, everything is finally on track.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu rubbed his ghost kidney, fighting spirit gradually kindling in his eyes. He thought to himself, \"Those guys… just wait and see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tian Yang arrived, Shi Huaiyu said to everyone, \"It's early September now. The competition is in early December, so we have three months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, we'll train once a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does everyone know the competition rules?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu nodded. The civil engineering competition was a competitive match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Team A and Team B compete, Team A first carries out engineering construction under Team B's attack within a set time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Team B carries out engineering construction under Team A's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the two teams' engineering completion and quality are compared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu commented in his heart, \"Another rule simulating a battlefield environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The whole competition tests both construction ability and combat ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After briefly explaining the rules, Shi Huaiyu began assigning competition positions for the six people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the always-silent Xiao Qingxuan suddenly spoke: \"This person...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan pointed at Zhang Yu and said: \"He's only a sophomore now, which means he was just a freshman a few days ago, right? Are you sure you want a student who just got promoted from freshman to compete?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we drop him, we can still find a stronger student, can't we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu spoke up: \"Senior Xiao, Junior Zhang is first in his class and also a registered disciple of Director Gao...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan said flatly: \"So is he especially rich? If that's the case, I have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu knew he had to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, looked at Xiao Qingxuan, and said: \"It's like this... I'm not rich. The reason I'm here is mainly because of my own strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my grade level and the exams limited my scores, so my ranking and overall score can't fully show my abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, I'm still in a state of rapid improvement. In three months, my strength will be even greater.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan said calmly: \"Talking alone is useless. Our Civil Engineering department is built on action.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me test you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Xiao Qingxuan struck out with his palm. A violent dragon-shaped Gang Qi surged forth, raising a cloud of dust as it charged straight at Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dragon-shaped Gang Qi rushed toward him, each claw, tooth, and whisker formed by the Gang Qi was vivid and lifelike—even every scale was clearly visible, as if it were a real giant dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu understood that this meant the Gang Qi transmission rate had exceeded 95%, allowing the Gang Qi to transfer power like his own flesh and blood, with unparalleled control and destructive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Formless Warrior emerged, blocking the dragon-shaped Gang Qi, and punched toward the giant dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the Formless Warrior was torn apart by the dragon-shaped Gang Qi, failing to even slow it down for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More Formless Warriors leaped out, charging at the giant dragon like fearless warriors throwing away their lives, only to be shattered one after another in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the descending giant dragon, Zhang Yu let out a low shout, his muscles bulging, his Gang Qi soaring. As he activated one technique after another, he pushed his power to the limit, then punched upward into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a huge boom, Xiao Qingxuan's expression changed. He felt as if his palm had first struck a ball of cotton, being constantly neutralized and diverted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After barely breaking through layers of Gang Qi, it then felt like striking an extremely hard nail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon-shaped Gang Qi was completely pierced by Zhang Yu's body, crashing straight into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Zhang Yu himself stood there unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiao Qingxuan was far from using his full strength, his eyes still showed a hint of surprise when he saw Zhang Yu so easily block his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a tough body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and said, \"I acknowledge your strength. You'll do fine as a defensive position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a Formless Warrior appeared beside Xiao Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu gave a soft laugh and said, \"Senior, you take a hit from me too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, accompanied by a dragon's roar, the Formless Warrior struck at Xiao Qingxuan head-on with a power that felt strangely familiar to him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1994,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","99b1f5a31804618cd1de4a5560d1d60cb9c489b96fe54e9a69bb3b6a23d7170c","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-367","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-365",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
