Chapter 604: Zhang Yu, Any Thoughts?

"The myriad spirits'法力 pushes昆墟, pushes the path of immortals, pushes the will of heaven."

As a shareholder in the myriad spirits'法力 production group, with Dao Qiankun's advertisement ringing through heaven and earth, he condensed dark阴雷 into one hand and howling white阳雷 into the other, the two colliding violently in the next moment.

And with the collision of yin-yang polarized thunder, the incandescent thunder seemed to solidify, falling from the sky like a pillar of light piercing heaven and earth.

It was precisely the military-grade technique from the Magecraft Department of Ten Thousand Laws University—the Two-Pole Primordial Magnetic Divine Light Cannon.

As the pillar of light descended, fine electrical arcs darted wildly within a kilometer radius, and even this mere backlash left everyone on the battlefield feeling tingling and numb, sparks bursting from their hair.

Kuang Tianqing, facing the thunder pillar head-on, felt her heart sink.

She had just endured a series of fierce battles, exhausted with no time to rest or recover.

In contrast, Dao Qiankun in the sky had rested for a long time, even waiting at that spot to charge his technique.

This kind of output environment, absolutely impossible in a one-on-one fight, greatly amplified the effect of Dao Qiankun's strike.

But Kuang Tianqing could only defend with all her might, knowing she had no other choice but to withstand it.

Celestial Demon Void Law... Curse Heaven Ten Thousand Demon Seat... All her techniques and military-grade artifact skeletons were pushed to the limit.

The next moment, Kuang Tianqing's figure was swallowed by the pillar of light, her mana and fortitude drained severely under the blow.

The power she had borrowed from her teammates through dual cultivation, after the earlier fierce battle and under the pressure of Dao Qiankun's strike, was completely exhausted.

At the same time, she sensed that Zhang Yu's remaining flying swords and sword orbs were orbiting around her, channeling electric arcs, further enhancing the power of Dao Qiankun's strike.

A sudden realization dawned on Kuang Tianqing: "That immortal trash! Did he foresee this even before his death?"

"He must have conspired with Dao Qiankun... he deliberately left this escape route, specifically for Dao Qiankun to block it here..."

"Zhang Yu!!!"

The next moment, Kuang Tianqing's body was completely engulfed by the thunder pillar, vanishing into the blinding white light.

And Dao Qiankun's control over this magical attack was evidently exquisite to the extreme; as the thunder pillar dissipated, the buildings below were almost undamaged, and with a bang, they closed back together, completely swallowing Kuang Tianqing's figure.

…

After who knows how long, Zhang Yu felt himself gradually awakening from a pitch-black darkness.

"Hmm?"

At first still dazed, but as his consciousness slowly cleared, Zhang Yu gradually recalled what had happened before he completely lost consciousness.

"I was fighting Kuang Tianqing..."

"Am I dead?"

"Is this the spirit world?"

"I... became a soul cultivator?"

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this, a voice reached his ears: "Awake?"

Zhang Yu barely opened his eyes and recognized the familiar sky.

Lowering his head, he looked at the ruins around him and murmured, "I'm not dead?"

Zhang Yu looked up and saw Dao Qiankun, Jiutian Liu, Yan Qianji, Ye Xingli, and other elites from various schools standing beside him, all looking at him.

Zang Shenyu from Vajra University said, "I performed emergency treatment on you."

"Though you used the fake death-pivot, you didn't die; consider yourself very lucky."

Zhang Yu's muddled mind gradually cleared, and more memories surfaced.

"That's right, I used the fake death-pivot."

Zhang Yu had first seen the fake death-pivot when Che Yufei used it in the Civil Engineering competition.

Later, he learned it was a trick workers used to temporarily replace life-pivots to pass quality inspections—knowledge not taught in civil engineering textbooks, and something instructors tacitly avoided mentioning.

But though it was a fake death, Zhang Yu felt that under Kuang Tianqing's final onslaught and Dao Qiankun's strike, he had a very high chance of dying.

Not to mention that after completely swallowing Kuang Tianqing, the small sealed space would only contain him and Kuang Tianqing.

If Kuang Tianqing did something to his corpse then... Zhang Yu dared not think how high his survival odds would be.

"I'm still alive?"

This brought a hint of surprise to Zhang Yu, who had already prepared himself for resurrection.

After all, resurrection would cost quite a few spirit coins. Even if someone were willing to sponsor him after the match... wouldn't it be better if they just gave him the money directly instead of using it for his revival?

Then Zhang Yu raised his head, looked at the ruins around him, and said, "Where is Kuang Tianqing? Where did she go?"

He then looked at his own body and quickly asked, "Did she do anything to my corpse?"

Dao Qiankun smiled slightly, pointed to a hole in the ground nearby, and said, "She retreated."

Zhang Yu was taken aback: "Retreated?"

"Before she retreated, didn't she take revenge on me?"

Jiutian Liu remarked with emotion, "Kuang Tianqing only appears arrogant and unruly, but she has always been very rational."

"Just as she said, wherever money goes is where heaven's will goes. To act on behalf of heaven, she follows the direction of wealth growth."

Jiutian Liu looked at a hole several meters deep that had been dug nearby and said, "Even after being severely wounded by Dao Ge's final strike and heavily drained, she never gave up."

"Look at the direction of this hole. It should be where she started digging right after being trapped."

"She wanted to dig back into the battlefield and turn the tide."
