Chapter 400: Superior Martial Dao Saint Body (88)

As news of the Double Rest Sect's terrorist attack on the pharmaceutical factory gradually spread, anti-cult propaganda emerged throughout the university town of Ten Thousand Methods University.

In the Foundation Establishment class group.

True Person Jiao Lei: @everyone, to further promote anti-cult propaganda among university students, focus on student mental health education, and enhance students' ability to identify and resist cults, please watch the "Dangers of Double Rest" educational lecture promptly from 18:30 to 19:00 tonight.

Zhang Yu looked at the message posted in the group and thought to himself, "This reaction... is bigger than I imagined."

Originally, although Zhang Yu had witnessed the scene after the Double Rest Sect's attack, in his view this level of terrorist attack was not even a minor ailment to Kunxu or the Ten Greats.

Zhang Yu did not believe that some soul cultivators' suicide attacks could cause changes in Kunxu.

Moreover, from the subsequent feedback of the factory workers, it seemed that this Double Rest Sect did not gain public approval.

But now, looking at True Person Jiao Lei's notice, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could this Double Rest Sect be a great threat to universities and companies?"

"Damn..." He couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "In this crappy place called Kunxu, selling drugs, dual cultivation, murder… I never saw you react this strongly."

After school that day, while working on the pharmaceutical factory construction, Zhang Yu kept the "Dangers of Double Rest" educational lecture playing in the background.

He heard a True God say, "...In recent years, the Dual Cultivation cult has infiltrated through the spirit realm, distorted values, and even caused many people to miss job opportunities, become unemployed at home, declare bankruptcy, and lead to tragedies..."

"I know you are all top students of Ten Thousand Methods University, but don't think this cult can only deceive college students. We have personally caught many Ten Great students who were brainwashed, including some excellent students who were once outstanding, having never rested in their lives..."

"The Dual Cultivation cult possesses extremely terrifying mind control abilities. Once contact is made, even graduate students and doctoral students can be brainwashed within minutes."

"So once you discover followers of the Dual Cultivation cult, you must contact the True Gods immediately..."

With a bang, the Formless Strongman struck out with a palm, sweeping away a large pile of construction debris.

At this moment, layers of cyan light surged inside the Formless Strongman, as Celestial Azure Sand rolled back and forth within it. Under the enhancement of the Celestial Azure Sand, the Formless Strongman appeared more substantial than before, with both explosive power and endurance greatly increased.

While the Formless Strongman worked, Zhang Yu was cultivating martial arts and listening to the lecture at the same time.

He wondered in his heart, "Are the True Gods the ones dealing with this Double Rest Sect?"

"Could there be the shadow of evil gods behind this Double Rest Sect?"

Zhang Yu told Fuki about his doubts, and after a moment of contemplation, Fuki said, "The Double Rest Sect... a very, very long time ago, I heard of this thing, but it was only in the conceptions of some evil gods."

"Whether they later turned that conception into reality, I'm not sure."

"But if it really was the work of evil gods, and it has attracted such great attention from the True Gods without being eradicated so far, then I'm afraid there is more than one evil god behind this Double Rest Sect—there are multiple high-ranking evil gods."

Shortly after the lecture ended, Zhang Yu received a message from Feng Tingting.

Feng Tingting: Junior, have you heard?

Feng Tingting: Turns out the backer behind the Double Rest cult is Netherworld University.

Feng Tingting: Netherworld University specifically lets the Double Rest cult infiltrate other universities, to deceive students from other universities, corrupt their minds, turn them into lazy dogs who rest two days a month, and reduce the competitiveness of other universities and companies.

Feng Tingting: It's said that after a college was corroded by the Double Rest Sect, it implemented a policy of two days off per month, and eventually the entire school went bankrupt.

Listening to the rumors Feng Tingting sent, Zhang Yu's heart was filled with even more doubts.

He asked curiously, "Does the Double Rest Sect have a connection with Netherworld University?"

Fuki said, "Who knows? It could be Ten Thousand Methods University making it up to slander a competitor, or it could be that Netherworld University really is sponsoring a cult to infiltrate other schools."

Not long after, Zhang Yu found that many places in the spirit realm network were spreading rumors about the connection between Netherworld University and the Double Rest cult.

Soon, Netherworld University also issued a statement, saying it had no connection with the Double Rest cult, and condemned external forces for spreading rumors and engaging in online violence...

Then Zhang Yu found that people in the spirit realm network began to say that behind the Double Rest cult was Ten Thousand Methods University.

For a time, a series of flame wars erupted in the spirit realm network, with various internet celebrities, experts, and wealthy people taking turns to voice their opinions.

"What a mess," Zhang Yu said. "Are Ten Thousand Methods and Netherworld taking the opportunity to slander each other?"

Fuki said, "Hehe, who knows? But one thing is certain—this Double Rest Sect has caused quite a stir, even becoming a tool used by the Ten Greats to attack each other."

"If I have time, I'd like to see for myself the Double Rest Sect's proselytizing methods and what their doctrine actually is."

Although all circles were harshly criticizing the Double Rest Sect, Zhang Yu until now knew nothing about its other doctrines besides resting two days a month, let alone what their complete demands were.

It was clear that the True Gods were conducting high-level patrols in the spirit realm network, eradicating the Double Rest Sect's propaganda everywhere, making it impossible for ordinary people to access such content...

Time quickly passed to late January.

The pharmaceutical factory was still undergoing continuous expansion.

Zhang Yu had taken on one construction project after another here, and he had to come almost every day.

On the construction site that day, the Sky Azure Cloud-Gathering Bag could be seen floating in mid-air, occasionally spitting out a large amount of sky-blue sand, which was injected into the bodies of the Formless Guardians as they shuttled back and forth.

Zhao Tianxing, who was operating the Sky Azure Cloud-Gathering Bag, looked toward the center of the construction site, a place shrouded in thick clouds and mist, where faint figures could be seen flickering, and bursts of loud noises came from time to time.

Zhao Tianxing knew that Zhang Yu was practicing martial arts techniques here, but every time he trained on site, he would conceal his figure with aether, making it impossible to see what techniques he was practicing.

After a moment, the rolling clouds surrounding Zhang Yu stopped churning, and the continuous booming sounds ceased as well.

Zhao Tianxing asked curiously, "Zhang Yu actually stopped practicing?"

Meanwhile, deep within the clouds formed by Formless Cloud Aether, Zhang Yu sensed the Martial Dao Saint Body, which had already acquired the second layer effect now that the eighth technique had been pushed to level 10.

Superior—Martial Dao Saint Body (8/8): Martial Dao Into the Subtle. Any Foundation Building martial technique in your hands will be controlled with microscopic precision, released and restrained at will.

"Martial Dao Into the Subtle?"

Next, Zhang Yu began to try out the second-layer effect of the Martial Dao Saint Body and quickly understood its mystery.

With a single palm strike, he erupted the Wilderness Mountain-Shifting Force, sending his entire body's strength mixed with aether surging outward. Every bit of power, every bit of aether was so clear in his perception, operating as simply as 1+1=2. With a light palm, he crushed the ground before him into fine dust.

"Martial Dao Into the Subtle... gives me unprecedented control over power when executing various martial arts techniques."

Zhang Yu knew that even with the same level of martial arts and the same numerical physical strength, the power exerted by martial arts could fluctuate depending on one's state.

But now, under Martial Dao Into the Subtle, he could clearly feel that every move he made could deliver the peak power of its optimal state.

Besides...

He stomped the ground, and the Mystic Yellow Mountain-Suppressing Seal was activated. Layers of mystic yellow energy swept out, and the surrounding sand and dust shifted in weight... even stirring up tornadoes.

At the same time, the Formless Guardians not far away trembled. Their originally vague humanoid forms of pure aether suddenly changed, actually taking on the likeness of Zhang Yu himself, turning into lifelike human shapes made of aether.

"The operation of Martial Dao Into the Subtle not only enhances my destructive power but also improves my control over details, allowing the scale of force application to be precisely limited to an extremely small range..."

Overall, with the support of the Martial Dao Saint Body, Zhang Yu felt that his construction efficiency had increased by several tenths, but there were still many further wonderful uses he needed to explore slowly.

Just then, Zhang Yu saw a large group of people burst into the pharmaceutical factory.

Qu Lecheng, sweating profusely, looked at this group and said, "We're producing at full capacity every day—we haven't stopped for a single day."

The leader of the group said coldly, "To combat the Double-Repose Cult, the entire university town is now conducting random inspections to see if there are any unauthorized production halts or malicious leave-taking."

"Also, in response to the higher-ups' call, all factories are required to further increase working hours."

Qu Lecheng said helplessly, "We're already producing 24/7. How can we increase it any further?"

The other party replied flatly, "I don't know. The notice has been delivered to you. You'll have to overcome the difficulties yourselves."

In a quiet corner of the pharmaceutical factory.

Zhang Yu, exhausted from a night of work, was receiving treatment from Xiao Qingxuan.

Although his own recovery ability could heal him through body activation, he was happy to let Xiao Qingxuan help improve efficiency.

During his time at the factory, he had often received Xiao Qingxuan's treatment, and he grew increasingly trustful of Xiao Qingxuan's ancient medical techniques.

Looking at Xiao Qingxuan's somewhat somber face, Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Old Xiao, are you in a bad mood today?"

Xiao Qingxuan sighed, hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself, "This Zhang Yu is now deeply trusted by Old Gao. He's destined to become a pillar of the Civil Engineering Department. He'll inevitably pursue postgraduate and doctoral studies, and in the end, he'll probably either join a company or stay and teach in the department."

With that thought, Xiao Qingxuan said, "You must have heard that I was once possessed by an ancient Golden Core cultivator, right?"
