He's definitely going to spot the flaws now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lang Yougong chuckled, \"I never expected Zhang Yu to appear so bold and aggressive, yet when he acts, he can be as meticulous as dust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Huai commented, \"But just now, Su Yanyang's team was probably still focused on construction and didn't put in serious effort. Now that Zhang Yu and his team have found a flaw, Su Yanyang and his team should soon truly display the power of intelligent architecture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang's gaze seemed to pierce through layers of obstruction, spotting Zhang Yu and the other two who had already stepped into his formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, the three who should have been under his constant observation suddenly vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soul cultivator currently serving as the array spirit sent a message: They dug a hole and went underground on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang: Useless. How did he find out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Array Spirit Soul Cultivator: We're too short-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang: Do you want a bad review?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party go silent, Su Yanyang shook his head slightly. \"That's the problem with soul cultivators—they always make excuses. Tool spirits are much more obedient in comparison.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang had been fortunate enough to test high-intelligence tool spirits, and in his view, they surpassed most soul cultivators in obedience, work efficiency, self-motivation, and learning ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, they're too expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After considering the price difference between high-intelligence tool spirits and soul cultivators, Su Yanyang decided to make do with soul cultivators for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid swirling dragon-shaped true qi, dirt flew into the air as a passage half a person's height was quickly carved out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu and Tian Yang followed behind Xiao Qingxuan, surprised to see him digging faster and faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu exclaimed in astonishment, \"This isn't the Starry Sky Meridian Thrusting Art, is it? What martial art is this? How is it digging so fast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan did not answer, thinking to himself, \"I can't tell them... this is the tomb-raiding tunnel excavation technique accumulated by that ancient Golden Core cultivator from years of grave robbing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead of answering, Xiao Qingxuan said, \"The other side has probably set up the Myriad Ghost Bewitching Array. But with this little time, it was hastily arranged. As long as we escape the building's range, we won't be affected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But underground, it's hard to tell directions… Zhang Yu, can you sense where the spiritual energy is converging?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his third-eye ability, Zhang Yu could perceive the direction of spiritual energy convergence. Hearing this, he marked it in his eye sockets to guide Xiao Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan thought, \"Even if the direction of spiritual energy convergence isn't the array's center, it's still an important node. If we can damage it, it should greatly delay their construction progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhang Yu was also looking up information on the Myriad Ghost Bewitching Array the other had mentioned. He asked curiously, \"So just now, was it this array's spirit impersonating Shi Huaiyu, Yu Xinghan, and the others, replying to our messages?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temporarily out of the array's influence, Zhang Yu had also reestablished contact with Shi Huaiyu and the others on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu said in the competition group, \"Though they call it an array spirit, Su Yanyang usually uses soul cultivators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul cultivators?\" Zhang Yu was puzzled. \"Soul cultivators are helping them compete? So their team has no more than six people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Huaiyu asked, puzzled, \"What does the number of soul cultivators have to do with anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt that Zhang Yu's question was like asking whether a tool spirit counted as a contestant... wasn't that completely obvious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu fell silent. He realized that since entering Wanfa University, this was probably the first time he truly understood what status soul cultivators held in others' eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But that should only apply to broke soul cultivators,\" Zhang Yu thought to himself. \"Wealthy soul cultivators are probably a different story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang smiled faintly. \"Three little mice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the array spirit had lost track of the three after they started digging, the map of the entire arena appeared before Su Yanyang's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map displayed various data such as temperature changes, spiritual energy flows, construction progress, spiritual vein parameters, underground seismic sources, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was synthesized from the various detection methods of the six people in their team, and could fairly comprehensively show the situation of the entire competition field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this very moment, Su Yanyang, looking at a rapidly moving seismic source on the map, knew that it should be Zhang Yu and his two companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst flying mud and sand, Zhang Yu and the other two crashed headfirst into an underground space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they appeared, a series of traffic fee notifications floated before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your account is overdue by 35 spirit coins. Service will be suspended in 1 minute. Please recharge immediately to restore use...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yang looked at this message, slightly stunned, feeling as if his heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan beside him shouted, \"We've broken into the formation again, with all kinds of formation illusions... Don't get lost in them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang felt the tremors from the earth and looked at the video information sent by the formation spirit. He sneered, \"Have they arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the great formation underfoot seemed to become an extension of his thoughts. Su Yanyang struck out with a palm from afar toward the location of Zhang Yu and the other two, then suddenly clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu and the other two felt the surrounding earth come alive, as if in an instant it turned into a piece of high-strength alloy, closing in on them from all sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the terrifying pressure from all directions, Zhang Yu punched out, and a series of dragon roars suddenly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, while digging tunnels all the way with Xiao Qingxuan, the latter had struck him with a total of twenty Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Palm strikes into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the twenty strikes burst forth in an instant. The air seemed to boil, turning into waves of air that swept through the entire underground space, also tearing apart and breaking through the converging earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a single strike, Zhang Yu and the other two retreated back into the tunnel, following Xiao Qingxuan as he quickly dug away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: He seemed to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Yang: It must be because the noise of our digging was too loud, and he detected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Qingxuan: Split up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang looked at the suddenly multiplied seismic sources on the map and muttered to himself, \"Have they split up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not just splitting into three; they've probably used human-shaped and dragon-shaped Qi projections to confuse the enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cautious person, Su Yanyang never fought a battle unprepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully inquired about the combat process from Ma Xuan, and was already very familiar with Zhang Yu and his group's tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that Zhang Yu was good at using a technique of human-shaped Qi projections, with a maximum range of about sixty meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew that Xiao Qingxuan was skilled in the Nine Dragons Heavenly Gang Palm, with Qi transmission reaching nearly a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are probably using long-range Qi transmission to create seismic sources now, interfering with my detection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yanyang looked at the construction progress: \"50%?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent a message to his competition group chat: Let's drive the foundation piles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, in five corners of the construction site, a dried corpse was injected into the ground, then connected to the spirit realm, and a soul from the spirit realm was infused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Spirit Realm space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiao Lei's eyes lit up and said, \"Are these Wisdom Foundation Piles? Building butlers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Huai on the side nodded repeatedly and said, \"It's more than that. This combines foundation pile technology, smart building technology, and blood sacrifice technology all together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I'm not mistaken, those five foundation piles are probably 'original body transforming into original soul'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This greatly increases the formation progress, makes the formation operation more complete, and greatly enhances the building strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone's observation, a massive amount of spiritual energy began flowing along the spirit veins, converging toward the buildings constructed by Su Yanyang and his team. The spirit vein occupancy rate had already reached 40% in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lang Yougong watched this scene and thought to himself, \"It's not going to be easy now. What will Zhang Yu and the other two do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Keep splitting up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the formations and building strength increased, if they continue to spread out, it will be hard for them to cause damage, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Lang Yougong was slightly surprised: \"Eat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu opened his mouth and swallowed a large patch of construction materials into his stomach, then quickly circulated his energy and kept patting his body to digest it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Lang Yougong nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, \"Eating... is indeed a good method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eating is the best way to hide building materials, tools, and even fellow workers on a construction site. It's almost a necessary skill for every worker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Su Yanyang is fighting by using big projects, big engineering, with a global perspective,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"then Zhang Yu is countering with little tricks, small techniques, fighting like a worker.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lang Yougong would not underestimate Zhang Yu's strategy, because he knew that a thousand-mile dike can collapse from an ant hole—many huge and important projects are destroyed in this kind of gradual erosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now, on the field, since materials cannot be replenished, 'eating' is a very effective way to hinder the opponent's construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Zhang Yu can only take a few bites before having to leave. That's too slow. What will you do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, soon the action pattern of Zhang Yu's trio changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tu Lishan, who was nearby, flickered his eyes and thought, \"Zhang Yu is hiding in the deepest spot, focusing on digesting building materials. Hmm? Not just digesting—he's also processing the materials. Is he going to build something on the spot?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qingxuan is digging tunnels, establishing an underground network that goes everywhere, while also searching for and marking material storage locations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tian Yang is moving things around, carrying building materials in front of Zhang Yu for him to eat and process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Tu Lishan's eyes, the three had turned into a production line, constantly picking up and converting the construction materials on the site, reducing the construction progress of Su Yanyang's team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A teacher nodded and sighed, \"Zhang Yu and his two companions managed to figure out the site layout so quickly, set up a transport network, move things at high speed, identify materials, eat, and process them. These three have really good civil engineering skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the analysis from some teachers in the civil engineering department, the nearby Magnetic Pole True Lord asked, \"That good? Then it seems your disciple is going to win again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao privately messaged: They're going to lose. Don't ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magnetic Pole True Lord: Oh? Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao: Su Yanyang has already won. Now he just wants to keep Zhang Yu's building completion rate low enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao: If the building completion rate is low enough, Zhang Yu's ranking in the top ten will also be low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao: Su Yanyang's chances of making the top seven will be higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Gao: The War Faction's overall ranking will also be lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monthly ticket lottery winners and those in the top 20 guaranteed seats, please quickly check the pinned announcement post in the review section.\u003C\u002Fp>",2039,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","01cd4a9a23590586bdcb133d815afb49dbe8e803da09f1fc6ed20cb1452f7bb7","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-388","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-386",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
