Chapter 586: Arrival at Floating Continent, Crazy Tilt

Bai Zhenzhen: "I cultivate the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao precisely so that in the future I won't hurt Yu Zi."

"With a flying sword that's too fierce, I'm afraid that when I run into Yu Zi during this Ten Great Tournament, I might accidentally injure him."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at the sword before her: "This flying sword is quiet and gentle—I think it's pretty good."

The Seven Emotions Divine Lord said coldly, "If you want it, just take it. Consider it a gift from me, and you don't need to return it later. I stopped wanting it long ago anyway."

Bai Zhenzhen was slightly taken aback by these words, and a certain feeling arose in her heart.

"Master... was he angry just now?"

…

It was precisely at that time—when the academic elites from various universities were making their final preparations before the competition.

In the Ten Thousand Methods University.

Today was the day Zhang Yu was leaving the university town to set off for the venue of the Ten Great Tournament.

At this moment, he was directing his assistants as they loaded equipment and materials.

Liu Xiangqiao asked in surprise from the side, "Boss, we're taking all of this?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Bring all the equipment and materials I've circled on the list. Once we get there, I can continue artifact forging."

He looked at the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor on the experimental table beside him.

This armor was composed of countless metallic scales imitating demon beast scales, and at this moment it floated quietly in midair like a beast hide.

Although Zhang Yu had been working day and night during this period, pouring in a huge amount of spirit coins and all his energy—even increasing the number of assistants in the lab to seven—time was ultimately still too short.

So far, he had only managed to refine this Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor to just barely level 10.

"Just a little more, just a little more and I can reach level 11."

"I have to push the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor at least to the Foundation Establishment level."

To that end, besides renting a flying boat like some others, Zhang Yu also rented equipment from the artifact forging lab, planning to move it onto the flying boat so he could continue his forging work once he arrived at the venue.

After all, the Ten Great Tournament wouldn't be over in a day or two; it might take one or two months. Zhang Yu believed that during this period he would have plenty of time for cultivation and forging.

In fact, each of the ten members of the school team had different needs and conditions, and they each took different means of transportation to the Ten Great Tournament venue, preparing their own rest spaces during the tournament according to their needs.

For instance, to meet the requirements of his experimental equipment, Zhang Yu rented a large flying boat this time, which cost far more than an ordinary one.

First, the two hundred spirit coins for cultivating the Heaven and Earth Woe Formless Spirit Weapon, plus the investment in forging the Azure Water Golden Crystal Armor, the increase in the number of assistants, and now the expenses for renting the flying boat and lab equipment.

Zhang Yu's savings had been dropping steadily. The huge sum that had once broken through seven hundred spirit coins was now only a little over one hundred and fifty.

"Sigh, forging artifacts really burns money like water."

But Zhang Yu also understood that this was because he had been fully focused on self-improvement during this period and hadn't spent much effort on earning money; otherwise, his savings would be a lot higher.

Just then, several figures appeared before Zhang Yu.

"You all..."

Looking at Yu Xinghan, Le Mulan, Shi Huaiyu, Xiao Qingxuan, Shi Yunxiang, Ying Xin, and the others who had appeared before him, a hint of surprise rose on Zhang Yu's face.

"Aren't you guys working overtime?"

Yu Xinghan smiled: "We talked it over and decided to come see you off."

"We can work overtime any day."

"But a Ten Great Tournament of this scale—maybe only once in a lifetime."

Le Mulan said a little sheepishly, "Zhang Yu, I brought you some medicine."

She was worried that Zhang Yu would no longer think much of the potions she had painstakingly refined.

Zhang Yu quickly took them and said, "Thanks, these are all very useful."

Shi Huaiyu said, "President Zhang, once you get a good ranking this time, our company's workload will be so heavy we won't be able to finish it."

Shi Yunxiang said, "Be careful when you encounter contestants from the Heavenly Demon University—you're on the discrimination list's 'must-eat' ranking..."

Xiao Qingxuan: "I've sent you some techniques on 'breakthrough,' but ancient and modern methods differ. Just use them for reference—don't copy them outright."

Ying Xin: "Grandpa, all of you must listen carefully to the boss. Remember to rush to do any work when it comes up—the leaders are watching everything, and you must leave a good impression on them..."

After bidding farewell to his colleagues one by one, watching their retreating figures, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "These guys... usually they're terrified of working even one extra minute, but in the end they still came specially."

"They're all counting on me, their boss, to carry them to success later, right?"

Just as Zhang Yu boarded the flying boat, another figure appeared before him.

Zhang Yu's expression tightened: "Teacher!"

Director Gao looked at him and nodded, saying: "Are all your things prepared?"

Zhang Yu nodded: "Everything is ready."

Director Gao: "Do you know the assembly point? The competition area this time is quite large."

Zhang Yu said: "Don't worry, Teacher. Lord Anzhen gave me navigation."
