Chapter 598: Team Match Day Two
The time soon arrived at the second day of the team competition.
Under Zhang Yu's full construction efforts, the fortress originally built by Yan Qianji had been expanded several times in scale.
The main prison in the center was wrapped in dozens of layers of armor plating, with dual internal and external arrays blocking spirit network communications, and numerous defensive fortifications gathered within.
But Zhang Yu still did not stop; he continued producing and building.
On the other side, as the four schools cooperated, all the strong fighters, led by Dao Qiankun, launched attacks in every direction.
Relying on Dao Qiankun's top-tier strength and Wen Wuyan's powerful detection abilities, several strong fighters from enemy schools were defeated and captured.
So during this time, the prison Zhang Yu built had already received six captives.
And through the four-school group chat and Bai Zhenzhen's recordings, Zhang Yu also saw many battle processes and gathered a lot of intelligence.
There was Dao Qiankun locking down a region with a single finger, trapping three strong fighters from White Bone University.
Jiu Tian Liu wielded qi fortune, stripping away the cultivation of several opponents' techniques from afar.
Cang Shenyu, the number one from Vajra University, fought multiple foes single-handedly, single-handedly blocking the combined attack of four strong fighters.
Tian Sheng Gong, the number one from Immortal Weapon University, piloted an aerial fortress that transformed into a towering giant over three hundred meters tall, capturing two prisoners in a single battle.
Of course, during this process, the four-school alliance on the Wanfa side was not without losses; one student each from Vajra, Heavenly Sword, and Immortal Weapon was defeated and captured.
And two of those were sneak-attacked successfully by the elusive Kuang Tianqing.
This number one from Demon Heaven University was like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's head.
No one knew where she would appear or when she would strike, and after every attack, she would immediately vanish into the distance, only defeating and capturing one person each time, never giving her opponents a chance to surround her.
Watching these battle reports one after another, Zhang Yu felt that as the four-school alliance on the Wanfa side progressed, the strong fighters from the four schools on the Demon Heaven side were gradually gathering together too, and both the scale and intensity of the battles were escalating each time.
During this period, Wen Wuyan constantly searched for the location where the enemy held their prisoners.
However, the Sky-Patrolling Flying Sword was not all-powerful; through concealment by clouds, mist, vegetation, soil, and various escape techniques that shook off pursuit, Wen Wuyan could never find where the enemy had taken the captives.
"Probably underground."
Zhang Yu thought to himself: "If it's underground, it's very hard to find."
"Unlike my approach here, which is open and unashamed construction, expanding the scale as much as possible and increasing strength. Their goal is to hide their tracks and avoid being discovered."
"But to achieve that, they must control the construction scale; their stronghold's defenses definitely won't be strong."
Unconsciously, the two sides had taken different directions in their prison-building styles.
Outside the prison, besides other defensive works, there were also many rest rooms built by Zhang Yu.
After all, with the four-school cooperation, at least one number one from each school was stationed here at any time, and many members of the four school teams also came to the outer side of the prison to rest and maintain their equipment.
Unconsciously, aside from being a prison for holding captives, this place had also become a venue for students to rest and assemble.
One day, while Zhang Yu was setting up spirit machine circuits, a student covered in a full set of Extreme-Tiger-brand legal constructs and advertisements found him.
Ling Po Jun, the fourth rank from Immortal Weapon University, Equipment Refinement Department.
"You're Zhang Yu, right?"
Ling Po Jun looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "You're in charge of the infrastructure here?"
After seeing Zhang Yu nod, the other person continued, "I need an equipment refinement lab to repair my gear. How soon can you get it done?"
Zhang Yu paused slightly, looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said, "Figure it out yourself. That's not my responsibility."
Ling Po Jun stared coldly at him and said, "You're in charge of infrastructure. If you don't do it, am I supposed to build it myself?"
"Zhang Yu, you hole up here all day without going out to fight, so you should serve us properly and save us time…"
Zhang Yu frowned slightly, sensing the hostility from the other person, and thought to himself, "Is this guy…"
Ling Po Jun looked at the Zhang Yu before him and thought inwardly, "The fighting outside is getting more and more dangerous. Even with my strength, I can't guarantee one hundred percent safety."
"In the battles to come, the stage will belong to the number ones from each school and a few of the number twos and threes from strong schools—their arena to show off strength and harvest traffic."
"If I want to keep increasing my traffic and heat, I need to find ways in other areas."
Ling Po Jun had never thought he could take first place in the Ten Great League.
In his view, leveraging the extreme heat of this Ten Great Leagues tournament to boost his own traffic, gain more attention, attract more investment, and increase his immortal path potential was his primary goal.
"Devouring the weak is one way to gain popularity."
Ling Pojun looked at Zhang Yu before him and thought to himself: "This Zhang Yu latched onto Kuang Tianqing's hype yesterday, so he should have a fair bit of attention too, and he's not that strong..."
He chuckled inwardly: "Plus, the moment he dived into that construction site, he never came back out. He's covered in dust and dirt—by now, plenty of viewers must look down on him."
"If I pressure him next and stir up a conflict, I should be able to win a lot of support and draw a huge wave of attention."
As for people not liking it? Ling Pojun didn't care. He understood that controversy brings traffic—black fame is still fame.
Especially as a top student at Immortal Weapon University and a user of the Extreme Tiger Brand Dharma Corpse, he had long grown accustomed to harvesting traffic from disputes and conflicts.
Compared to the risk of getting injured or captured by continuing to fight, arguing and creating conflict with Zhang Yu right now seemed far more cost-effective to Ling Pojun.
