Chapter 503: Soil and Wood Champion

As the competition concluded, Zhang Yu had his limbs re-implanted, and Mo Shangjin also retrieved the Seven Absolute Dharmic Bones from the battlefield.

The doctor looked at Zhang Yu's heavily wounded body and, still unwilling to give up, asked again, "Are you sure you don't need treatment?"

Zhang Yu shook his head and replied, "Just re-implant the body parts that were replaced by the Dharmic Bones."

"As for the injuries I sustained during the competition, you don't need to worry about them."

Zhang Yu was unwilling to pay the doctors for treatment; heaven knew how much they would charge!

However, even without treating his injuries, this Dharmic Bone re-implantation was costly due to the physical differences between Mo Shangjin and Zhang Yu, the urgent need for quick transplantation, and the increased difficulty posed by Zhang Yu's powerful physique.

All these factors prevented the transplantation fee from being low, costing Zhang Yu nearly 8 spirit coins. This directly reduced his initial deposit of less than 10 spirit coins to less than 2!

After all, he had previously spent a considerable amount of money upgrading his magical artifacts to increase his chances of winning the battles!

And judging by the results, the money was well spent!

The Vital Qi enhanced by the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill significantly extended his resistance against Xiang Shan!

Various other magical artifacts, including the Gold Thread Jade Bi, although ineffective in direct confrontation with Xiang Shan, significantly improved construction efficiency when used to support the team's work, and would also boost the company's future profits!

"The repair cost for the Seven Absolute Dharmic Bones will probably be another 5 to 10 spirit coins, right?"

Zhang Yu sighed, thinking he would have to owe Mo Shangjin for now.

However, despite spending so much money, Zhang Yu felt it was all worth it at this moment!

By winning the Civil Engineering competition, he secured both the design blueprints for military-grade armor and a guaranteed opportunity to transfer to the Artifact Forging Department, instantly broadening his future path.

As his arms and other body parts were re-implanted one by one, the four-headed white ox in Zhang Yu's mind roared loudly. His activated flesh and blood, infused with his will, rapidly converged, temporarily closing all his wounds!

After a short wait, everyone proceeded to the awards ceremony!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhang Yu led the team from Myriad Law University onto the champions' podium!

Whether it was Mo Shangjin, who had competed many times, or Su Yanyang and others, who were competing for the first time, their hearts were pounding, unable to conceal their excitement. This was the first time in their lives they had won an inter-university championship!

"We finally took first place!"

Mo Shang murmured to himself, "Now, after graduation, I'll have no regrets!"

Shi Huaiyu thought, "With this qualification, whether it's for future job hunting or postgraduate studies, the benefits will be immense!"

Thinking of this, Shi Huaiyu felt her future path in life suddenly become brighter.

Su Yanyang secretly sighed, "Ah, if Zhang Yu were still in the Civil Engineering Department next year, I could just coast to another victory with him! What a shame..."

Meanwhile, the Soul Cultivators in the Spirit World were also watching this scene with excitement!

Zhao Tianxing felt emotional, "I never thought I'd see this day!"

Mo Tianyi excitedly said from the side, "Even though we are only college students, our resumes today boast an achievement that most top ten university students don't have!"

Several elders from Ying Xin's family gathered, laughing, "Who would have thought that an inter-university championship, something we couldn't even dream of when alive, we'd get a piece of after death!"

Che Yufei looked longingly towards the podium, taking several extra photos, thinking he'd print himself into them later.

Just then, Zhang Yu's ocular skeletal structure scanned the Spirit World. Noticing the Soul Cultivators' gaze, he spoke to them, "You all come too!"

Zhao Tianxing exclaimed, "M-Me... us?"

Zhang Yu smiled, "You all participated in the competition too, didn't you? Come up and get your awards and take photos!"

Before Zhao Tianxing could react, Ying Xin's grandfather had already flashed behind Zhang Yu, followed by Che Yufei, who squeezed in beside him!

The Soul Cultivators, one by one, squeezed in behind the Myriad Law University team, instantly making the podium look packed as if it were full of people!

Hu Yuntao hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped onto the podium!

"Screw it, I'm going for it! I'm not working at Heavenly Demon University anyway after this!"

Looking at the countless demon-kind spectating both in person and in the Spirit World, Hu Yuntao felt as if he had never shone so brightly!

Zhao Tianxing quickly spent spirit coins to increase his pixel resolution and font size for his name above his head, trying to make himself appear as clear as possible in the group photo!

At the same time, he had only one thought: "As soon as I get the group photo, I'm posting it on my Moments."

On the other side of the Spirit World network, Xiong Wenwu paused slightly, watching this scene!

Another bear demon beside Xiong Wenwu asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Xiong Wenwu exclaimed, "My high school friend won the competition!"

The nearby bear demon gasped in surprise, about to ask more, but was called away by their boss to start working, carrying their master alongside Xiong Wenwu!

True Monarch Tianxiang glanced at the Myriad Law University team on the stage, and the Soul Cultivators behind them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes!

This was the first time he had seen anyone bring Soul Cultivators onto the stage to receive awards and take photos!

Shaking his head, True Monarch Tianxiang walked towards the podium to begin the awards ceremony!

He looked at Zhang Yu, his expression calm, and said, "It's astonishing that a student who hadn't even obtained a military certificate half a year ago has become the strongest civil engineering student in just six months!"

Zhang Yu humbly replied, "You flatter me, True Monarch!"

At the same time, waves of boos erupted from the stadium, as a large number of demon-kind spewed out various foul substances emitting dense demonic energy, throwing them directly towards Zhang Yu and his group!

Evidently, a significant portion of the demon-kind was highly displeased with Myriad Law University!

However, these few defilements naturally couldn't hit the Myriad Law University team and were easily blocked!

True Monarch Tianxiang also handed over the design blueprints for the military-grade armor, the Jade Water Golden Crystal Armor, and its usage rights to Myriad Law University and the team members present!

With these blueprints and usage rights, Myriad Law University officials could now forge and research the Jade Water Golden Crystal Armor!

The team members could also commission others to craft this military-grade armor!

Of course, to use military-grade armor, a military certificate would be required again!

However, after acquiring these blueprints, Myriad Law University would naturally have additional rewards for them internally!

Zhang Yu eagerly glanced at the blueprints, thinking: "Once I transfer to the Artifact Forging Department, I must thoroughly study these blueprints to understand why this Jade Water Golden Crystal Armor is included in the Linked Dharma Diagram set!"

Meanwhile, on the adjacent runner-up podium, only the solitary figure of Xiang Shan remained!

At the same time, countless flashing messages appeared in his ocular skeletal structure!

"Why don't you just die?"

"Return the money."

"If I were you, I'd drop out."

Throughout Heavenly Demon University's Spirit World network, countless demon-kind were hurling insults and curses at Xiang Shan!

The audience's gaze at him was filled with anger!

His teammates, disappointed, demanded reimbursement for their physical resurrection!

His clansmen, expressionless, departed one by one!

They were going back to work overtime to make up for the losses incurred during this period!

Although the scene was crowded, Xiang Shan felt an unprecedented loneliness at that moment!

As influential and popular as he had been with the demon-kind on the field moments ago, he was now just as dejected, with just as many demon-kind hating him!

As the awards ceremony concluded, the Myriad Law University team began their journey home!

While still on the flying boat, the news had already reached Myriad Law University, and the team members immediately received numerous congratulations from fellow students and teachers!

And when everyone finally returned to Myriad Law University after traveling thousands of kilometers!

As soon as they disembarked from the flying boat, they were pulled away to a banquet!

Even before entering the banquet hall, strong aromas of cooked food and meat wafted towards them, whetting everyone's appetite!

Upon entering the banquet hall, they saw congratulatory messages for Myriad Law University's Civil Engineering Department's championship win floating everywhere in the air!

Besides congratulations from departments like Security, Pharmacology, and Artifact Forging, Zhang Yu even saw congratulatory messages from several vice-principals!

Mo Shangjin smiled from the side, "After all, we haven't won a championship in many years. Now that we've achieved such a result, the teachers decided to hold a celebratory banquet!"

Shi Huaiyu also chuckled, "This is Director Gao's first major achievement since taking charge of the Civil Engineering Department!"

As Zhang Yu and the others entered the venue, countless eyes turned towards them!

He saw Civil Engineering students like Ma Xuan and Gongshu Jin, students who had transferred from Artifact Forging like Feng Tingting, and top students from Artifact Forging like Yan Qianji and Ye Xingli!

Additionally, Civil Engineering teachers like Tu Lishan and Lang Yougong, as well as many teachers and professors from other departments, had also been invited!

Zhang Yu even saw True Monarch Qiyun, the vice-principal in charge of teaching, who had projected an image from the Spirit World and was conversing happily with Director Gao!

Feeling the gazes sweep over them, the team members initially tensed up, then each straightened their backs and held their heads high!

Someone started clapping first, and in moments, everyone in the banquet hall was applauding!

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought, "This is quite a big deal!"

Seeing True Monarch Magnetic Pole in the crowd, Zhang Yu quickly sent a message: "Teacher, is everything alright?"

True Monarch Magnetic Pole: "Before you leave, let Old Gao enjoy this moment of glory."

Zhang Yu: "During the competition earlier, I revealed my intention to transfer departments to boost morale!"

True Monarch Magnetic Pole: "No matter."

On the other side, True Monarch Qiyun looked at Director Gao beside him and smiled, "Old Gao, the Civil Engineering Department has developed quite well under your leadership!"

Director Gao laughed, "It's all thanks to the excellent guidance from the school leaders and the students' hard work and dedication!"

True Monarch Qiyun said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me!"

Director Gao smiled, "The Civil Engineering Department still needs to strengthen its talent cultivation!"

True Monarch Qiyun secretly thought, "With Zhang Yu transferring departments and Mo Shangjin graduating soon, the Civil Engineering Department's performance will likely plummet. It truly needs to increase its cultivation of reserve talents!"

Director Gao waved to Zhang Yu and said to True Monarch Qiyun, "This young man contributed a lot this year and is very talented. I ask the vice-principal to look after him in the future!"

True Monarch Qiyun was slightly surprised, thinking: "Zhang Yu is about to transfer to the Artifact Forging Department, yet you're asking me to look after him? Perhaps you should focus on taking care of the Civil Engineering Department first!"
