Chapter 495

As the competition concluded, Zhang Yu reattached his original hands and feet, and Mo Shang Jin also retrieved the Seven Absolute Dharma Remains from the battlefield.

The doctor looked at Zhang Yu’s battered body and asked unwillingly again, “Are you sure you don’t need treatment?”

Zhang Yu shook his head. “Just reattach the parts of my body that were replaced by the Dharma Remains,” he said.

“As for the injuries I sustained during the competition, don’t bother with them.”

Zhang Yu had no intention of spending money on the doctor’s treatment—who knew how much they would charge.

However, even without treating the injuries, the cost of this Dharma Remains transplant was already high due to the physical differences between Mo Shang Jin and Zhang Yu, the urgent requirements for transplant speed and timing, plus the difficulty caused by Zhang Yu’s own powerful physique...

All these factors made the transplant fee impossible to lower. In the end, it cost Zhang Yu nearly 8 spirit coins, directly draining his savings—originally less than 10 spirit coins—down to barely 2.

After all, he had spent a lot on upgrading his magical artifacts earlier to improve his chances of victory in battle.

And judging by the results, that money had not been wasted.

The gangqi empowered by the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill greatly extended the time he could hold out against Xiang Shan.

As for other magical artifacts, including the Golden Silk Jade Plate, though they failed to take effect during his direct confrontation with Xiang Shan, they helped improve the team members’ construction efficiency and, later, the company’s profitability.

“The maintenance cost for the Seven Absolute Dharma Remains is probably another 5 to 10 spirit coins, right?”

Zhang Yu sighed, thinking he would have to owe Mo Shang Jin for now.

But even after spending so much money, in Zhang Yu’s eyes at this moment, everything was worth it.

As long as they won the Civil Construction Competition, he would get both the military-grade armor blueprints and a solid chance to transfer to the Artifact Refining Department, instantly broadening his future path in immortal cultivation.

As his arms and other parts were transplanted back one by one, the four-headed white bull in Zhang Yu’s mind roared mightily; his activated flesh and blood, infused with his will, tightly bonded together, temporarily closing all the wounds on his body.

In the following time, after waiting a little, everyone attended the awards ceremony.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhang Yu led everyone from Universal Law University onto the champion’s podium.

Whether it was Mo Shang Jin, who had participated multiple times, or Su Yanyang, who was participating for the first time, their hearts were surging, unable to contain their excitement—this was the first cross-school championship in their lives.

“Finally got first place,” Mo Shang Jin thought to himself. “Now there’s no regret when I graduate.”

Shi Huaiyu: “With this credential, whether I look for a job or take the graduate entrance exam, the boost is enormous.”

Thinking this, Shi Huaiyu felt that the future path of his life had suddenly become full of sunshine.

Su Yanyang thought to himself: “Ah, if Zhang Yu is still in the Civil Construction Department next year, I could keep coasting to a championship again… such a pity.”

At the same time, the soul cultivators in the spirit realm were also watching this scene excitedly.

Zhao Tianxing felt emotional: “I never thought I’d see the day.”

Mo Tianyi said excitedly beside him: “Even though we’re only from a vocational college, our résumé today is something most students from the Top Ten universities don’t have.”

Ying Xin’s family elders gathered together, laughing: “We never dreamed of a cross-school championship while alive, but after death, we’ve actually gotten a little taste of it.”

Che Yufei looked longingly toward the podium and took a few more photos, thinking he would photoshop himself in later.

Just then, Zhang Yu’s eye remains scanned the spirit realm, seemingly noticing the gaze of the soul cultivators, and said to them: “You all come too.”

Zhao Tianxing exclaimed: “We… us?”

Zhang Yu smiled: “You all participated in the competition too, right? Come up and take photos together for the award.”

Before Zhao Tianxing could react, Ying Xin’s grandfather had already flashed behind Zhang Yu, and then Che Yufei squeezed in beside him.

One by one, the soul cultivators crowded behind the members of Universal Law University, instantly filling the podium as if it were packed with people.

Hu Yuntao hesitated for a moment, then finally stepped up.

“To hell with it, I’m not staying at Heavenly Demon University anyway.”

Looking at the countless demonic descendants watching from the scene and in the spirit realm, Hu Yuntao felt like he had never been so radiant.

Zhao Tianxing quickly spent some spirit coins to increase his pixel density and enlarge the font size of his name, trying to make himself look clearer in the group photo.

At the same time, he had only one thought: “As soon as I get the group photo, I’m posting it on my Moments!”

……

On the other end of the spirit network, Xiong Wenwu was slightly stunned by the scene: “That Hu Yuntao…”

The other bear demon beside him said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiong Wenwu sighed, "My high school friend won the competition championship."

The bear demon beside him let out a surprised sound and was about to ask further, but was called out by the boss, and together with Xiong Wenwu, they began working by carrying their master on their backs.

…

Heavenly Phenomenon True Lord swept a glance over the crowd from All-Methods University on the stage and the soul cultivators behind them, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen someone bring soul cultivators up to receive awards and take photos together.

Shaking his head, Heavenly Phenomenon True Lord walked toward the award podium to begin presenting the prizes.

He looked at Zhang Yu before him and said calmly, "I never imagined that a student who hadn't even obtained a military certificate half a year ago would become the strongest civil engineering student in just six months."

Zhang Yu humbly replied, "You flatter me, True Lord."

At the same time, waves of boos spread across the arena, and a large number of demon descendants spewed out all kinds of filth reeking with dense demonic aura, directly hurling it toward the area where Zhang Yu and his group were standing.
