Good work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, just as Zhang Yu and Jiutian Liu successively crossed the finish line,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the giant dragon that had burst through the sea surface crashed down with a boom, heavily striking the water, sending up a sky full of spray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the giant dragon floated motionless in the sea, without any further sign of life, like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large amount of blood kept gushing from the wound blasted open at the rear of the dragon’s body, quickly dyeing the entire seawater red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as many spectators thought that Ying Zhoufan had been heavily injured or even killed by the blast... they saw a meat bulge suddenly rise at the middle section of the dragon’s body, then the bulge burst open, and a figure shot up from within, crossing the finish line in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third place, Ying Zhoufan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing the finish line, Ying Zhoufan landed, glanced with hatred at the corpse-like dragon body and the nearby Zhang Yu, who was covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That scumbag…” Ying Zhoufan recalled the events of that moment in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Yu, Jiutian Liu, and he were locked in the final fierce battle, vying for the fastest champion in the undersea cave, Ying Zhoufan had secretly activated the Heavenly Demon Hundred Transformations, beginning his body’s metamorphosis in preparation for the final victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his body, he reassembled his human form, gradually turning the dragon body into a shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ying Zhoufan was only waiting for the final sprint to use the dragon body to entangle Zhang Yu and Jiutian Liu while he broke through and seized first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even already envisioned himself breaking through while Zhang Yu and Jiutian Liu fought, overwhelming the two human prodigies, becoming the champion of this trial, then trending on热搜, giving interviews, and being worshipped by countless demon descendants…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the Sun Emperor’s Divinity exploded with surging flames inside the dragon body, blasting a huge hole in the rear of the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the shell-like dragon body, under Zhang Yu’s empowerment, gradually transformed into a temporary artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That scumbag…” Ying Zhoufan thought to himself, “He realized my dragon body was gradually losing vitality and turning into dead matter, and then used the Unformed Mind Weapon of the World’s Calamity to temporarily artifactize it, both accelerating the final push and hindering my escape from the shell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It shows that even in the final struggle, at the most intense moment of fighting with Jiutian Liu, he never let down his guard against me, and could even spare attention to counter me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just how meticulous is this guy? His overall strength is barely different from mine, yet he managed to bring every ounce of his power into play and achieve this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had taken third place, Ying Zhoufan couldn’t feel even a trace of joy or excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt that ever since being controlled by Zhang Yu, the race had no longer been under his command at all, completely falling into Zhang Yu’s rhythm, and even his last-ditch counterattack had been strangled in the cradle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Ying Zhoufan feel like a horse bridled and reined in, with no brilliance whatsoever in this great battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on the other side, Zhang Yu waved his hand toward the sea, and in the next moment a black shadow burst out of the water, flying directly in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Jiutian Liu thought to himself, “Sure enough, the reason he was injured all over was because he took off the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor, preferring to use his own body to withstand the shuttle’s impact, so as not to damage the armor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was this kid already considering what would happen after the race when he jumped onto the shuttle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I call him bold... or decisive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the owner of the Nine Heavens Divine Shuttle, Jiutian Liu naturally knew very well how great the shuttle’s speed and impact were, especially when burrowing underground, where the pressure and impact between the rock layers and the shuttle increased sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu’s action of removing his armor and then jumping off the vehicle not only showed absolute confidence in his own body but also an obsession with protecting his property, which even made Jiutian Liu, his opponent, feel a hint of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Zhang Yu shook his whole body, shaking off all the blood stains, revealing a body covered in wounds and bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he put on the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor again, temporarily closing the wounds on his body through his efforts, continuously dissolving the blood congestion, and striving to heal himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after putting on the armor, Zhang Yu’s first inspection was whether he could obtain more content of the “Sage’s Myriad Transformations Divine Scripture” through the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No luck?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the large amount of blood discharged from the dragon body had dyed the entire seawater red, and the Azure Water Gold Crystal Armor, having been immersed in it, naturally absorbed quite a bit of demon blood, but Zhang Yu found that during this process… no further cultivation method content had been gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu speculated in his heart, “Is it useless even with a large amount from a single demon descendant? Does it require more different kinds of demon descendants?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Zhang Yu tried to control the remaining demonic beasts in the sea, only to find that many fish demons had lost contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did their lifespan run out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu knew that these demonic beasts, temporarily bred and forcibly grown, had essentially exploded their life potential in a short time. They had no food value, lived only briefly, and were often consumed after a single battle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-05-29T04:55:10.865Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","798a1da63eb2593546a39876e1a8689e7173e1d48d16e39a257e1ff8f32c2da7","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-618","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-616",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
