Chapter 324: Dao Heart and Heart Demon

Gazing at the rapidly approaching figure, Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. He whirled around, the formless Cloud Qi surging forth, striking out with a spiraling force.

With a resounding boom, accompanied by a clash of opposing Qi, Zhang Yu retreated several steps, his expression grave as he regarded his opponent. "It's you?"

The person who had suddenly ambushed him was none other than Tian Yang, the team leader.

Feeling the turbulent mana and blood within his body after the recent collision, Zhang Yu frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "My task was assigned by Tian Yang."

"This area is relatively remote, and only I was sent here, in a blind spot for surveillance. Was this all prearranged by him?"

"Deliberately waiting for an opportunity when I was alone, then ambushing me?"

"President Wang sends his regards!"

As Zhang Yu's mind raced, Tian Yang spoke casually!

Hearing this, Zhang Yu was shaken. "It's Wang…"

He recalled President Wang of Oasis Group, the wealthy man he had fought fiercely against on the first level, who had even sent people to retaliate against him!

At the same time, Tian Yang's attacks pressed forward relentlessly, like a storm. Wave after wave of fierce assaults seemed intent on overwhelming Zhang Yu within a few exchanges!

The combat art he was currently employing was called the Grand Tempest Dust Palm, a technique inspired by construction site dust, pollution, and dust control!

With each strike, his martial arts Qi resembled rolling dust, unpredictable and ever-changing. It struck at Zhang Yu from impossible angles, like the pervasive dust pollution of a construction site, threatening to engulf him completely!

The Grand Tempest Dust Palm emphasized the combination of reality and illusion, of endless variations. It was already a very troublesome technique, and against a weaker opponent, it could seize an absolute advantage, manipulating the foe at will!

Before attacking, Tian Yang had thought the same.

"Zhang Yu shouldn't be able to withstand ten moves from me!"

But by the fifteenth exchange, Tian Yang was growing increasingly astonished!

With the aid of the Netherworld Demon Eyes and the Three-Eyed Divine Power, Zhang Yu could clearly see each of Tian Yang's moves!

But simply seeing the moves was not enough. After all, Zhang Yu was just a hardworking college student with little experience in fighting!

Given Zhang Yu's practical combat experience and martial arts cultivation, even if he could see Tian Yang's moves, it would be difficult to devise a way to counter them instantly!

But he didn't need to counter them!

After entering the Myriad Dharma University City, Zhang Yu had an idea: while combat skills were not as important as work skills in the current stage, one still needed a means of self-preservation in a place like Kunxu!

However, in his constant cultivation, he simply didn't have the extra time to hone his practical combat abilities!

Until he obtained the Three-Eyed Divine Power… Zhang Yu had a new solution for combat, a way to quickly develop combat strength without investing too much time and energy!

He called it the "50-50 Combat Method," meaning he had a fifty-fifty chance of winning against anyone!

At this moment, Zhang Yu roared, activating the Battle Demon Lifespan Sacrifice Art, drastically increasing his physical strength!

At the same time, the Three-Eyed Divine Power's imitation ability was fully activated, targeting Tian Yang!

To Tian Yang's astonishment, Zhang Yu became like a mirror image, meeting him head-on with the same moves, again and again!

Tian Yang was confident that his cultivation was sufficient to overpower his opponent, intending to break him down with each palm strike.

But Zhang Yu's Formless Cloud Qi was already incredibly adept at deflecting force, combined with the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Force's ability to borrow strength, the various resistances of the Earth-Wood Saint Body, the bones strengthened by No. 20 Secret Steel, and the bodily revitalization provided by the Sacrificial Ox Heart Sutra!

All of this allowed Zhang Yu to display terrifying resilience in this type of head-on battle of identical moves!

And this resilience was now being felt by Tian Yang!

At first, he thought the opponent was imitating his martial arts!

"He's learned the Grand Tempest Dust Palm?"

"Or is he relying on his powerful talent to steal my martial arts right in front of me?"

But soon, he realized that while Zhang Yu's moves were the same, the circulation of mana and Qi within his body was completely different!

The opponent's Qi focused on deflecting, dissolving, and borrowing force!

"He's not stealing my martial arts, just imitating my movements… But how can he be so durable?"

Tian Yang watched Zhang Yu, full of vigor and showing no signs of weakness, feeling the incredible hardness of his body and the way his palm strikes seemed to vanish into the sea!

The more he fought, the more disgusted he felt!

"This kid is too damn tanky!"

"Fighting him is more tiring than working overtime at a construction site!"

"Who designed his combat system? This is just disgusting!"

"Forget it, this is enough!" Thinking this, Tian Yang rolled his eyes, stomped hard on the ground, and blurred into a series of afterimages, flashing dozens of meters away!

"Alright, let's stop here, no more fighting!"

Tian Yang waved his hand, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Yu. "As expected of someone valued by Director Gao, your physique is perfect for working overtime at construction sites!"

Zhang Yu looked at the stopping Tian Yang with some surprise. "Weren't you hired by Wang to get revenge on me?"

Tian Yang laughed. "A friend of mine is at Netherworld University. I heard from him that Wang did want to find someone to teach you a lesson!"

"But this friend of mine doesn't want to help Wang!" Tian Yang thought inwardly!

Tian Yang said righteously, "You and I are both from Myriad Dharma University, both from the Civil Engineering Department, and both under Director Gao. How could I help outsiders deal with you for a few benefits?"

"I'm more interested in getting some benefits from Wang under the pretense of teaching you a lesson!"

"I just came to record a battle video!"

"I was worried your acting would be too poor, so I staged a sudden attack!"

Thinking this, Tian Yang shook his head. He had originally wanted to casually make a few moves, putting Zhang Yu in a precarious situation, but he didn't expect Zhang Yu to be so resistant, enduring dozens of his attacks!

Although things had gone differently than expected, Tian Yang felt that this video might be even more effective than he had originally envisioned!

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned. "What do you mean?"

Tian Yang said, "I'm pretending to teach you a lesson, and then asking Wang for benefits!"

"Like the battle video we just recorded. After I send it to him, I can ask him for something!"

"After the deal is done, no matter what I get, I can split half the spirit coins with you at the market price!"

"To be honest, I really need some things from Netherworld University. If you're willing to continue cooperating, we can get more benefits from Wang together!"

Watching him wave his hand and leave, Zhang Yu still couldn't tell if he was telling the truth!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I'm at Myriad Dharma University, and Wang hasn't given up?"

Fu Ji chuckled. "In such persistent situations, besides hatred and conflicts of interest, there's another possibility. Could it be that your existence is affecting his Dao heart?"

"Speaking of which, your actions on the first level are in strong conflict with Wang's style of doing things, and you even ruined his important plans there. He must hate you to the bone!"

"And if you've affected his mind technique, becoming his inner demon, then his persistence makes even more sense. You two don't just have a feud, it's also related to his immortal cultivation!"

Soon after, Zhang Yu received 0.5 spirit coins from Tian Yang!

"I just earned 0.5 spirit coins?"

Especially considering that these spirit coins came from Wang, the super-rich person who had suppressed him so many times, Zhang Yu felt even more motivated!

The White Ox in his sea of consciousness seemed to roar, and the Sacrificial Ox Heart Sutra flowed even more smoothly, and the body's revitalization seemed more vibrant!

So the next day, Zhang Yu, with the help of Yu Xinghan and Li Xiao as lookouts, came to the place agreed upon with Tian Yang!

"What are we recording today?"

Zhang Yu asked, "Are you still beating me up? Do you want me to be beaten harder? Should I spit out some blood?"

Tian Yang waved his hands repeatedly. "Fighting videos can only be like yesterday's sparring, they don't have much depth!"

"This is after all in the university city, not to mention killing you, I can't even film seriously injuring you! Even if I film it, Wang has his own channels for other information, he won't believe it!"

"What I'm filming today is you working overtime!"

Netherworld University City!

After leaving the first level, Wang did not go to the headquarters of Oasis Group, but returned to the place where his mother worked and temporarily took a idle job to recuperate and heal his soul damage!

And because he lost the opportunity for the Divine Spiritual Root, Wang could only re-enter the Foundation Establishment realm with the Heavenly Spiritual Root and began to slowly restore his cultivation!

Facing his mother again at Netherworld University, Wang had to admit that what she had told him was right!

"You can't be too good to those dogs below!"

"These dogs are fed too well, they won't obey and will even want to eat at the table."

And in Wang's heart, whenever he thought about the failure of his plan on the first level and missing the Divine Spiritual Root, he felt a strong surge of hatred!

"Zhang Yu, and Bai Zhenzhen, but Bai Zhenzhen in Wang's view doesn't need to be cared about anymore, but Zhang Yu, just thinking about him constantly learning and cultivating at Myriad Dharma University, every day continuing on the path of immortality, makes Wang feel extremely uncomfortable!"

Now Zhang Yu is like a thorn, sticking deeper and deeper in his heart, and also making the progress of Wang re-entering the Foundation Establishment realm slower and slower!

He remembered that he cultivated the Emperor's Royal Heart technique in the past, and he used a huge amount of wealth to subvert a city and dominate the common people, and finally cast a body of Extreme Dao boxing intention!

But I was clearly richer than the world on the first level, but I was never able to dominate the fate of a mere Zhang Yu…

"This most lowly level of people, got my cultivation, not only did they not know to be grateful, but they also ruined my major event!"

"Now my net worth is unknown how many times more than him, but I have never been able to suppress him!" Whenever he thought of this, Wang felt a stuffy feeling in his heart, and the Emperor's Royal Heart began to operate unsmoothly!

Wang understood that Zhang Yu's matter had become his inner demon, a flaw in his heart, conflicting with his mind technique, his thinking, and his will!

"Either I slowly resolve it myself, change my thinking with time, and eliminate the anger in my heart!"

"Or, at least, humiliate and play with him fiercely, to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

In this situation, Wang established contact with Tian Yang through the connection of others, and not long after, he received a video from Tian Yang!

Looking at the strength displayed by Zhang Yu in the battle video, as well as the extraordinary resilience, Wang frowned!

So after giving Tian Yang 1 spirit coin, Wang made a higher request, hoping to humiliate Zhang Yu fiercely, play with Zhang Yu, torture Zhang Yu, and even requested a live broadcast!

Tian Yang refuted many of Wang's requests and proposed a not-so-low price, just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Wang received the other party's video!

Watching Zhang Yu in the video working overtime frantically, cultivating frantically, his cultivation improving little by little, making more and more money, his eyes full of fighting spirit, Wang only felt that the Emperor's Royal Heart in his mind was once again stagnant!

At the same time, Tian Yang sent a message: If you don't agree to my request, I will make Zhang Yu have classes every day, and his cultivation and savings will continue to grow.
