If you added the special techniques of a Golden Core, Zhang Yu had even less chance of winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few collisions in that instant only confirmed this for Zhang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to use the Divine Spirit Root, otherwise I won't be able to hold out much longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a choice with no way back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding dust continued to spread wildly under the control of the Heaven Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power, obscuring the battlefield layer by layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"If I'm going to use the Divine Spirit Root, using the pervasive dust and Gang Qi as cover should provide maximum concealment...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Spirit Realm was now cut off, Zhang Yu did not sense any surveillance through the evil god's detection ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after all, with so many people and so many eye skeletons watching, even if he planned to use the Divine Spirit Root, Zhang Yu would try to conceal it as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the battle plan for what came next had already been set in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Use the Heaven Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power to control the dust created by pulverizing the ground, combine it with Gang Qi and the Divine Spirit Root, and try to stall the opponent as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, focus on destroying the surrounding environment to create an opportunity to retreat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu thought to himself: \"After all, compared to fighting a Golden Core, what I'm better at is construction—transforming the environment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, structural blueprints emerged in Zhang Yu's mind—records of construction details he had memorized while participating in building layers 666, 667, 668, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the current floor was different, Zhang Yu knew that the general structure of each layer of the University City was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, many weak points of this battlefield were obvious at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I create an opportunity to retreat, once everyone scatters and flees, I'll actually be more nimble on my own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu, from internal struggle to final decision to activate the Divine Spirit Root, the people around him saw his stance of stubbornly fighting to the death against a Golden Core, refusing to surrender—they were all moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xinghan gritted his teeth, forcibly controlling his fear of the Golden Core demon cultist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhang Yu still fighting desperately, he felt both admiration and envy, as well as a sense of shame at his own fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy... where does he get the guts?

If he dies... he'll be truly dead, his soul scattered...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yu Xinghan seemed to see that figure from the livestream who had fought head-on with Boss Wang, pressing forward with the same indomitable spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the few moments of fierce battle, Yu Xinghan quickly understood the situation before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as one person joins the demon cult, the others will either be silenced or join together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either die or join the cult—this Golden Core powerhouse of the demon cult simply won't give us any other choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he join the cult?
