Chapter 610: Chapter 551: Ye Xingli’s Dao Seed
Inside the laboratory, the Heavenly Sun Divine was seen emitting golden flames from all over its body, surrounding it like rays of sunlight, enabling this puppet to float in mid-air.
"Yunzhen, document the upcoming tests."
Listening to Zhang Yu’s instructions, Zi Yunzhen nodded repeatedly.
In the next moment, the Heavenly Sun Divine shrank, instantly reducing to a third of its original size, and then began to expand dramatically.
Zi Yunzhen filmed and simultaneously wrote down her observations: This is the adaptable transformation ability of the Heavenly Sun Divine, currently able to shrink to a third of its original size and expand up to three times its original size.
Following this, several streams of Gang Qi were directed by Zhang Yu towards the Heavenly Sun Divine.
With a crackling explosion, visible ripples burst from the surface of the Heavenly Sun Divine, pushing back the approaching Gang Qi.
Zi Yunzhen continued to document: Wuying Thunder, forming a directional sonic thunder defensive barrier to resist kinetic attacks.
Next, the Heavenly Sun Divine shrank again, while several streams of true fire erupted from the other side of the experimental platform.
In an instant, the Heavenly Sun Divine was seen flickering and leaping rapidly within the true fire.
Zi Yunzhen documented: Flame Escape transformation, the Heavenly Sun Divine can convert parts of its body into a true fire form, utilizing the flames for high-speed movement.
A moment later, Zi Yunzhen stood next to Zhang Yu, assisting him in testing, checking Zhang Yu’s control over the Heavenly Sun Divine and the efficiency of information exchange between them.
Watching the lines of data floating in her eyes, Zi Yunzhen thought to herself: "This Heavenly Sun sensory connection ability is engaged in massive data exchange every second, transmitting all the sensory data of the Heavenly Sun Divine to the human body. The efficiency of this information transmission is comparable to Dual Cultivation, almost like maintaining a constant connection state of Dual Cultivation..."
At the same time, under the effect of the Heavenly Sun sensory connection, Zhang Yu felt like he had an additional body.
This feeling was quite wonderful, with the Heavenly Sun Divine and his original body feeling like one was his left hand and the other his right. Zhang Yu could control both simultaneously and also sense the visual, auditory, and tactile feedback from both sides...
After completing the test, Zi Yunzhen exclaimed with surging emotions: "Boss, all basic attributes and functions have reached the Level 11 limit, reaching the Foundation Establishment level."
"Should we report this?"
Zhang Yu shook his head, saying: "No rush, let’s spend another half month to further increase the level."
Although Level 11 already meets the minimum requirements for obtaining a military certificate, Zhang Yu didn’t want to risk passing with just the minimum. What if they don’t pass? Wait another year?
This is an unacceptable outcome of failure for Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu planned to spend another half month to continue upgrading the level, to ensure a higher success rate in passing the military certificate review.
Thus, in the days that followed, Zhang Yu continued to refine the Heavenly Sun Divine, step by step improving its performance and adding functions.
...
In the laboratory that day.
While conducting simulated training in the Taiqing Realm, Zhang Yu also browsed through various news in the Spirit Realm.
When he saw several videos posted in his hometown group, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
Mountain and River University, Lanling: [Video]
Lanling: Pity I have no money, otherwise, I’d definitely support Ye Xingli.
Hehuan University, Heavenly Love Princess: These internet celebrities are all frauds. Even if you give them money, you can’t really interact with them. Better to give it to Hehuan University’s internet celebrities, who you can meet in real life for Dual Cultivation.
Lanling: You don’t understand, Ye Xingli is especially nice to her fans, not even looking down on those technical school students.
Fengdu University, Mo Tianyi: Exactly, even if her fans are very poor, she doesn’t look down on them.
Vajra University’s Chu Qiuhe: She really is different from other internet celebrities.
Glancing over the information, Zhang Yu realized that many students in the hometown group were fans of Ye Xingli.
Opening the video link shared by Lanling, he found it was a clip from Ye Xingli’s live stream.
Ye Xingli, with her long legs shimmering with starlight, stood on a flying sword.
Meanwhile, countless flying swords surrounded her, all vying to get closer under her.
"Selling flying swords?"
Zhang Yu watched for a while before realizing this wasn’t ordinary selling.
By paying, viewers could connect their thoughts to a flying sword at the scene, manipulating it like a Sword Spirit to test various performances of the sword.
For example, by standing under Ye Xingli’s feet, experiencing the product’s capabilities in Sword Flight.
Seeing the scene beneath Ye Xingli’s feet resembling a myriad of swords converging, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but marvel at how lucrative being an internet celebrity was.
Moreover, the content of the video reminded Zhang Yu of the training his school had provided to Ye Xingli during this period.
For such a genius, ranked 3rd in the Artifact Refining Department and 10th overall in the school, who was going to participate in the top ten competitions next, how should she be nurtured?
Advanced laboratory access to accumulate artifact refining experience? Training techniques?
Guidance from renowned teachers to enhance abilities in all areas?
Joining a company to hone and refine under extreme pressure and the crucible of life and death?
Perhaps students from ordinary schools would think this way.
But Zhang Yu knew they were all wrong.
Only regular universities focus on teaching students how to enhance their abilities, limiting their vision to mere professional skills.
In contrast, top universities like Wanfa University spare no effort in guiding exceptional students to develop their money-making skills, aiming to greatly increase students’ income and assets, providing them with the broadest development space.
For Ye Xingli, especially given her role in the Artifact Refining Department and her influencer status, Wanfa University continuously channels and invests resources into her, requiring her to livestream for more than 8 hours daily in addition to creating videos.
In just over a month, Ye Xingli’s follower count skyrocketed from 3 million to over 6 million. Her strength, financial power, and immortal path potential all surged dramatically, making Zhang Yu incredibly envious.
"As expected of Wanfa University, they really understand the game of teaching according to wealth. Isn’t the best education in Kunxu supposed to teach you how to make money?"
"If I could join the school team and become a key cultivation target of the school, I wonder how the school would train me?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Will they give me more construction projects? Probably not, as I’ve already transferred to Artifact Refining."
"Will they assign me more outsourced artifact refining projects?"
"Or perhaps... because of my dual cultivation genius title, they’ll have me practice dual cultivation like crazy?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but worry, "How will I refuse when the time comes? I wonder what kind of trials I will face?"
While Zhang Yu was engrossed in crafting the prototype machine in the lab,
Magnetic Pole True Monarch and several other Nascent Soul True Monarchs’ research projects were also undergoing great upheavals.
Feng Tingting: The competition in this experiment is really fierce. I don’t know when, but three students from Beihai True Monarch’s project group joined the Dual Rest Sect.
Feng Tingting: Yuan Mo True Monarch’s paper was proven to be falsified, now he’s embroiled in legal troubles and voluntarily withdrew from the project.
Feng Tingting: Jindeng True Monarch has been reported for tax issues. He’s currently under investigation, with no clear timeline for resuming work.
Feng Tingting: Dongming True Monarch got involved in a scam, and his social media account hasn’t been updated for half a month. Among the five Nascent Soul True Monarchs, only True Monarch Xian Yin can still compete with Magnetic Pole True Monarch.
Zhang Yu: How are you still so well-informed about the Artifact Refining Department?
Feng Tingting: Don’t underestimate my connections in the Artifact Refining Department [proud] Besides, it’s the revival of the Civil Engineering Department now. Doing well in Civil Engineering is just as good as the Artifact Refining Department.
Zhang Yu thought to himself that with the revival of the Civil Engineering Department, Feng Tingting seemed to have regained some financial footing, which helped her restore her connections in the Artifact Refining Department.
Anyway, Magnetic Pole True Monarch sweeping away four competitors was also a good thing for Zhang Yu, at least reducing his workload, allowing him to focus more on the Heavenly Sun Divine Prototype Machine project.
...
Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhang Yu was adding the Nine Luminaries Thunder Shuttle’s function to the prototype machine, watching as strands of thunder swirled around the machine, occasionally entangling with electric flashes.
At this moment, Ye Xingli walked into the lab, greeted Zhang Yu, and began designing and verifying some kind of magic treasure.
Zhang Yu didn’t think much of it at first; after all, spending more time with Ye Xingli could also help him replicate her Dao Seed.
A few days later, he finally met the requirements to replicate Ye Xingli’s Dao Seed.
"From last year until now, did it finally succeed?"
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The requirement for replicating the Spiritual Rhythm Heart is to complete the design of an artifact refining product above Level 11 with someone."
Zhang Yu glanced at the (Dao Heart) behind the Spiritual Rhythm Heart, thinking to himself, "Senior Sister’s Spiritual Rhythm Heart, like Master’s Heavenly Craftsman, falls under the Dao Heart category, and probably enhances artifact refining."
If he hadn’t obtained the Heavenly Craftsman before, Zhang Yu would’ve surely taken his time to complete the product design with Ye Xingli.
But now with the Heavenly Craftsman, Zhang Yu simply activated its power slightly and felt his brain accelerate wildly, as a vast amount of information combined, assembled, generated in his mind...
"I want to design a magic treasure suitable for Ye Xingli."
As if by instinct, contents of the design drawings already appeared in his mind.
At the same time, his Dao Heart regressed to Level 19 (84%) due to the fierce operation of the Heavenly Craftsman.
Looking at the stockings on the blueprint, Zhang Yu thought, "Wait... why is it stockings?"
"Probably because of my shared use of the Heavenly Craftsman with Magnetic Pole True Monarch. My master’s deep foundation over the years led to all of this, affecting my design results."
Zhang Yu nodded secretly, "After all, their accumulation must far exceed mine, definitely the key to influencing the design direction."
Suddenly, Zhang Yu recalled that besides the immortal path knowledge from Kunxu, he also had a lot of knowledge from Earth.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The knowledge and information my master holds are far richer than mine, there’s no comparison."
"Earth’s knowledge mixing into the Heavenly Craftsman... shouldn’t have a major impact."
"Probably...?"
Zhang Yu suddenly remembered, "Right... The design goal I set was for a magic treasure suitable for Senior Sister Ye Xingli. Given my understanding of her, Master certainly surpasses me, this stocking suggestion must have been Master’s idea."
"It couldn’t possibly be that my little bit of knowledge polluted the Heavenly Craftsman, right?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and approached Ye Xingli, intending to discuss the design drawings with her.
