Chapter 357: Departure and New Team

Zhang Yu left the practice room, feeling a path of Xuán Huáng Qi refined within his body wandering throughout, while his mind was filled with various cultivation experiences related to this skill.

In just the past hour and fifteen minutes, after repeatedly performing the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn, he had actually already advanced it to the second level.

Zhang Yu opened the Yǔ Shū, turned to the chapter on chain methods, and scanned the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn.

"The chain method set for the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn is called Dào Fān Kūnlún," Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It sounds very powerful."

Since the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn is one of the Tǔ Mù Qī Jué, Zhang Yu then guessed that the remaining six might also belong to this Dào Fān Kūnlún chain method set.

"If I can cultivate the Tǔ Mù Qī Jué and combine them into the Yí Shān Shén Lì, plus the Dào Fān Kūnlún set... then how much money can I earn every day at work!"

Thinking this, Zhang Yu's heart suddenly surged with excitement, feeling endlessly thrilled!

But the Tǔ Mù Qī Jué only consists of seven skills, while sets generally require ten skills to exert their final effect. Zhang Yu couldn't help but wonder what the remaining three skills were exactly!

Thus, Zhang Yu's eyes flashed, and the great library of the Wàn Fǎ Xué Yuàn appeared before him!

He searched back and forth among numerous martial arts, earth-wood system skills, and large-scale construction skills, yet he still couldn't find any skill belonging to "Dào Fān Kūnlún"!

Zhang Yu secretly muttered in his heart, "Just like the Dà Shèng successor, I can't find the matching skills either."

He remembered that the cultivator of the Cán Niú Shè Tǐ Xīn Fǎ Dà Shèng successor was just like this. Besides that skill, no other skill belonging to the Dà Shèng successor was found until the Wú Liàng Xīn Nèi Fǎ Tǐ was obtained in the spirit realm, and then the Dà Shèng successor had a second skill!

"Looking at it this way, the remaining three skills of Dào Fān Kūnlún are either unrecorded black skills or military-grade or even immortal-gate-grade skills that I cannot check!"

Thinking to this point, Zhang Yu had to temporarily set aside this thought, realizing that completing Dào Fān Kūnlún, like the Dà Shèng successor, would not be easy!

"After I cultivate the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn to the 20th level, I'll continue cultivating, or maybe first develop towards the Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ direction!"

Zhang Yu chose Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ because, from his own experience with the Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ during the Qì Liàn period, this chain method set should be able to greatly enhance skill power!

His two main learning goals for sophomore year, besides refining tools system knowledge, were earth-wood system large-scale construction skills!

"Just right, some large-scale construction skills can be used to gather Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ, and the Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ's effect of enhancing skill power can in turn enhance the power of large-scale construction skills!"

Thinking to this point, Zhang Yu had an idea. Next, he would first cultivate the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn to the 20th level, then start cultivating large-scale construction skills, and conveniently gather Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ!

"In this way, Xué Yuàn Shèng Tǐ will be used for cultivation, Tǔ Mù Shèng Tǐ will be used to cope with harsh environments and consume tiger-wolf medicines, Qì Mài Cháng Liú will be used to recover magic power and cooperate with Wú Xiàng Lì Shì for refined construction!"

"After cultivating Wǔ Dào Shèng Tǐ, I'll just use it to cooperate with large-scale construction!"

"Thus, my earth-wood system will be perfected. There will basically be no projects I can't do, and my work efficiency and salary will definitely far surpass others!"

Thinking so, Zhang Yu felt the Tǔ Mù Dà Dào beneath his feet become even wider and brighter!

Zhang Yu had just emerged from the search state in the great library when he discovered someone standing in front of him without his knowledge, none other than Tú Lì Shān!

He didn't know how long he had been waiting here. Seeing Zhang Yu, Tú Lì Shān smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother, it seems like Teacher has already passed the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn to you!"

Zhang Yu asked, "Senior Brother, what do you need me for?"

Tú Lì Shān said with a smile, "Didn't I say before that I wanted to prepare something for you?"

"With your potential, Junior Brother, you will definitely want to advance and study intermediate and advanced courses later!"

"So I got you a super membership for the Yún Xiù Shū Yuàn!"

"Later, when you buy textbooks and online classes in the Yún Xiù Shū Yuàn, you can all get an 80% discount!"

Hearing Tú Lì Shān's words, Zhang Yu's eyes immediately lit up! He indeed needed to purchase skills and online classes, and the estimated purchase amount was even larger than what Tú Lì Shān thought. After all, the number of courses in the refining tools system was much more than in the earth-wood system!

The textbooks and online classes of the Wàn Fǎ Xué Yuàn were not cheap at all, especially those related to the three major ace majors, which were even more expensive!

With this super membership discount, he could save quite a bit of money!

As he spoke, Tú Lì Shān had already sent the redemption code for the super membership to Zhang Yu!

Zhang Yu hurriedly said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother!"

Seeing Zhang Yu's happy appearance, Tú Lì Shān felt a little proud in his heart and thought, "Zhang Yu will be competing intensely with Jì Yuán Shù next, and he will definitely learn ahead of time!"

"Although this super membership doesn't cost much, it requires certain authority to get. For Zhang Yu, it's like adding wings to a tiger!"

"Director Gāo seems to intend to let him get a military certificate later. If he succeeds, that will be a capable general for our earth-wood system, and maybe even my colleague later!"

Thinking so, Tú Lì Shān felt even more that helping Zhang Yu was the right thing to do!

As for Gōng Shǒu Jīn, the talent originally intended to be cultivated, Tú Lì Shān was not too familiar with the third-year class!

Next, Tú Lì Shān again asked about Zhang Yu's progress in cultivating the Xuán Huáng Zhèn Shān Yìn, shared some of his own cultivation experiences, and then chatted about the competition!

He only heard Tú Lì Shān ask, "Is Mǎ Xuán still letting you be a substitute team member?"

After getting Zhang Yu's affirmative reply, Tú Lì Shān coldly laughed once and said, "Looks like he has chosen sides!"

Seeing Zhang Yu's puzzled face, Tú Lì Shān explained, "Mǎ Xuán is a student of that faction of Líng Yuè Zhēn Jūn!"

"Líng Yuè Zhēn Jūn is our earth-wood system's official director, but these years, because his lifespan is almost up, he's been busy earning money all day and hasn't managed departmental affairs much!"

"Mǎ Xuán letting Jì Yuán Shù play this time instead of you, who has a higher ranking, probably means he has sided with the peace faction!"

"If you want to comprehensively surpass Jì Yuán Shù in the competition, you probably have to switch to a competition team that will let you play!"

Zhang Yu listened and slightly frowned, realizing that if he continued to stay in Mǎ Xuán's team, he would basically have no chance to play. Even if the competition team got a ranking, as a substitute, the comprehensive points he would get would be much less than Jì Yuán Shù!

But if he withdrew from the team, which team should he switch to?

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering, Tú Lì Shān said from the side, "I know a competition team that is short of people. Are you interested?"

Saying that, Tú Lì Shān sent a person's information to Zhang Yu and said, "This is the team leader, you can add her as a friend!"

After separating from Tú Lì Shān, Zhang Yu added the other party as a friend!

The other party was called Shí Huái Yù, a big five student in the earth-wood system, ranked 38th in the entire department!

Shí Huái Yù: You are Zhang Yu classmate, right? I heard Teacher Tú mention you. Are you willing to join our competition team?

Shí Huái Yù: Our team is strong, and we have sufficient experience. This time, in the internal departmental competition, our goal is to secure a top 10 finish and strive for 6th place!

Hearing Shí Huái Yù's words and looking at her ranking, Zhang Yu's heart suddenly stirred!

Although he hadn't participated in several training sessions in Mǎ Xuán's team, he still had a relatively good understanding of the competition situation!

Only the top ten teams in the Earth-Wood competition could get comprehensive points, and the higher the ranking, the more comprehensive points they got!

Only the first-place team had the qualification to represent the Wàn Fǎ Xué Yuàn in cross-school competitions!

However, not to mention first place, the top five in every year's competition were basically swept by teams from the 9th and 10th grades!

Teams from the middle and low grades were all competing for top 10 spots, for the sake of those few comprehensive points!

Zhang Yu had looked at quite a few chat records in the competition group and knew that Mǎ Xuán, Jì Yuán Shù, and their goal was also just to secure 10th and strive for 9th place!

Zhang Yu: After I join the team, can I play? I won't still be a substitute, right? Having had the previous experience, Zhang Yu had lingering fears, so he had to ask clearly before joining the team!

Shí Huái Yù: That's definitely a yes. Junior Brother, you are so powerful, how could I bear to let you sit on the substitute bench!

Thus, Zhang Yu immediately decided to join Shí Huái Yù's competition team!

In Mǎ Xuán's competition group, Jì Yuán Shù discovered that Zhang Yu had left the group at some unknown time!

For his competitor, Jì Yuán Shù was naturally very concerned!

He asked Mǎ Xuán, "Did Zhang Yu leave the team?"

Mǎ Xuán: "Yes, he left the team!"

Jì Yuán Shù: "Do you know which team he joined?"

Mǎ Xuán: "Not sure, but teams with the strength to strive for the top ten are already full!"

Mǎ Xuán: "The teams he can join now are probably not that great!"

Mǎ Xuán: "Actually, it would have been better for him to stay here. At least he could have gotten some comprehensive points!"

Mǎ Xuán: "Casually joining a weak team might result in not even getting one comprehensive point in the end!"

Jì Yuán Shù listened and nodded slightly!

In this way, just as sophomore year was starting, Zhang Yu's comprehensive points were already less by a section, which was a very big advantage for him!

After finishing chatting with Mǎ Xuán, Jì Yuán Shù lowered his head and looked at a circle of copper wires in front of him, and the idol in the center of the copper wires, and silently recited in his heart, "Then let's begin... the ritual!"

In the simulated construction site, Zhang Yu looked at the three people in front of him and surprisingly exclaimed, "Ah, just the four of us?"

Shí Huái Yù was a physiological female with a height of three meters, fair skin, and a sturdy body! Her thick and strong legs were purple-gold in color, emitting a metallic luster, obviously some kind of Dharma Body!

However, this little giant at this time looked at Zhang Yu somewhat awkwardly and said, "Although we only have four people, we are indeed..."

She pointed to herself: "I am very strong!"

Then she pointed to Chē Yǔ Fēi and Shí Yún Xiāng beside her: "They are experienced!"

Zhang Yu sighed, feeling that he had withdrawn from the team a bit too rashly!

However, he sized up the three in front of him. Shí Huái Yù was ranked 38th in the entire department, and her strength was trustworthy!

Chē Yǔ Fēi was a big seven student this year, with a full head of white hair and a face full of wrinkles. These were typical features of earth-wood experts, indicating that his body development and potential exploration were both very high, and his strength and experience were both very reliable!

On the other side, Shí Yún Xiāng was also not simple. He was a big five student this year, and as a demon descendant student, he had roamed various construction sites for these five years and yet could come out unscathed, which was sufficient to prove his formidable strength!

"Plus me..."

Zhang Yu thought, "Our team's strength is actually not bad, it's just that we still need to recruit two more people!"
