As news spread of the Twin Rest Cult's terrorist attack at the pharmaceutical factory, anti-cult propaganda began appearing everywhere within the university town of Myriad Laws University.
In the Foundation Establishment class group chat:
True Lord Jiaolei: Everyone, to deeply advance anti-cult propaganda among university students, focus on student mental health education, and enhance students' ability to identify and resist cults, all students are requested to tune in on time tonight from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM for the "Dangers of Twin Rest" educational lecture.
Zhang Yu looked at the message in the group chat and thought to himself, "This reaction is bigger than I expected!"
Although Zhang Yu had personally witnessed the aftermath of the Twin Rest Cult's attack, in his opinion, this level of terrorist attack was barely even a minor ailment for Kunxu and the Ten Greats.
Zhang Yu didn't believe that suicide attacks by some soul cultivators could cause changes in Kunxu.
Furthermore, based on feedback from the factory workers afterward, the Twin Rest Cult didn't seem to gain public approval.
But now, seeing True Lord Jiaolei's notification, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could this Twin Rest Cult be... a significant threat to universities and companies?"
"Damn it..." he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This wretched place, Kunxu, selling medicine, dual cultivation, murder... I haven't seen you react this strongly to any of those!"
That day after school, Zhang Yu worked on the pharmaceutical factory construction while listening to the "Dangers of Twin Rest" educational lecture.
He heard a righteous deity say: "...In recent years, the Twin Rest Cult has infiltrated through the Spirit Net, warped values, and even caused many to miss job opportunities, remain unemployed at home, declare bankruptcy, and bring about tragedies..."
"I know you are all elite students of Myriad Laws University, but don't assume this cult can only deceive vocational college students. We have personally caught many brainwashed students from the Ten Greats, including some excellent students with outstanding character and academics who once never rested their entire lives..."
"The Twin Rest Cult possesses extremely terrifying mind control abilities. Once exposed, even master's and doctoral students can be brainwashed within minutes!"
"Therefore, if you ever encounter a cultist from the Twin Rest Cult, you must contact a righteous deity immediately..."
With a loud bang, the Formless Warrior struck out with a palm, sweeping away a large pile of construction debris.
Inside the Formless Warrior, layers of green light churned. This was the Celestial Spirit Sand rolling around within it. Enhanced by the Celestial Spirit Sand, the Formless Warrior appeared more substantial than before, and both its explosive power and endurance had greatly improved.
While the Formless Warrior was working, Zhang Yu was practicing martial arts while listening to the lecture!
He wondered to himself, "Are the righteous deities dealing with this Twin Rest Cult?"
"Could there be... a shadow of an evil god behind this Twin Rest Cult?"
Zhang Yu told Fu Ji his doubts. After a moment of contemplation, Fu Ji said, "The Twin Rest Cult... I heard about this a very, very long time ago, but only as a concept in the minds of some evil gods!"
"Whether they later turned that concept into reality, I'm not sure!"
"But if it really was done by evil gods, and it's attracting this much attention from righteous deities, and hasn't been eradicated yet, then it's likely that there's not just one evil god behind this Twin Rest Cult, but multiple high-ranking evil gods!"
Shortly after the lecture ended, Zhang Yu received a message from Feng Tingting!
Feng Tingting: Junior, have you heard?Feng Tingting: It turns out the Twin Rest Cult's financial backer is Underworld University!Feng Tingting: Underworld University specifically lets the Twin Rest Cult infiltrate other universities to bewitch their students, corrupt their minds, turn them into lazy people who rest two days a month, and reduce the competitiveness of other universities and companies!Feng Tingting: It's said that after a vocational college was corrupted by the Twin Rest Cult, it implemented a policy of two rest days per month, and eventually the entire school went bankrupt!
Listening to Feng Tingting's gossip, more questions arose in Zhang Yu's mind.
He wondered, "Is the Twin Rest Cult also connected to Underworld University?"
Fu Ji said, "Who knows? Myriad Laws University might be making it up to deliberately slander a competitor, or it's possible Underworld University truly is sponsoring the cult to infiltrate other schools!"
Soon after, Zhang Yu noticed that many places on the Spirit Net were spreading rumors about the connection between Underworld University and the Twin Rest Cult. Underworld University quickly issued a statement, denying any connection to the Twin Rest Cult and condemning external forces for spreading rumors and engaging in cyberbullying.
Then Zhang Yu also found that people on the Spirit Net started saying that Myriad Laws University was behind the Twin Rest Cult!
For a time, a series of heated online debates erupted on the Spirit Net, with various internet celebrities, powerful individuals, and wealthy people taking turns to express their opinions.
"What a mess!"
Zhang Yu said, "Are Myriad Laws and Underworld taking this opportunity to slander each other?"
Fu Ji said, "Hehe, who knows? But one thing is certain: this Twin Rest Cult is causing quite a stir, even becoming a tool for attack among the Ten Greats!"
"If I have time, I'd like to see the Twin Rest Cult's proselytizing methods and doctrines for myself!"
Although all sectors were severely criticizing the Twin Rest Cult, Zhang Yu still didn't know what other doctrines the Twin Rest Cult had, besides two rest days a month, nor did he know their complete demands.
Evidently, the righteous deities were heavily patrolling the Spirit Net, eradicating Twin Rest Cult propaganda everywhere, making it impossible for ordinary people to access this content.
Time quickly moved to late January!
The pharmaceutical factory continued to expand.
Zhang Yu also took on one construction project after another here, coming almost every day.
On the construction site that day, the Celestial Azure Cloud Pouch floated in mid-air, occasionally spewing out large amounts of Celestial Spirit Sand, which was injected into the constantly moving Formless Warrior.
Zhao Tianxing, who was operating the Celestial Azure Cloud Pouch, looked towards the center of the construction site, a place enveloped by swirling mists. He could vaguely see figures flickering within and hear intermittent loud thuds!
Zhao Tianxing knew that Zhang Yu was practicing martial arts techniques. However, each time Zhang Yu trained on the site, he would obscure his body with aura, making it impossible to see what technique he was practicing.
A moment later, the swirling mists enveloping Zhang Yu stopped churning, and the continuous loud thuds ceased!
Zhao Tianxing wondered, "Zhang Yu actually stopped cultivating?"
At the same time, deep within the mists formed by the Formless Cloud Aura, Zhang Yu felt the Martial Saint Body, which now had its second-tier effect after his eighth cultivation technique reached level 10.
Tier-up: Martial Saint Body (8/8): Martial Arts Insight – Any Foundation Establishment stage martial art in your hands will be controlled with minute precision, allowing for free activation and retraction!
"Martial Arts Insight?"
Next, Zhang Yu began to test the second-tier effect of the Martial Saint Body, and quickly understood its intricacies.
He pressed down with a powerful palm, unleashing the Great Wilderness Mountain-Moving Force, with his entire body's energy mixed with aura surging forth. Every ounce of strength and every bit of aura was so clear in his perception, operating as simply as 1+1=2. With a light palm, he pulverized the ground before him into dust!
"Martial Arts Insight... allows me to control my strength to an unprecedented degree when performing various martial arts techniques!"
Zhang Yu knew that even with martial arts of the same level and physical strength of the same numerical value, their power could fluctuate depending on the practitioner's state.
But now, under Martial Arts Insight, he could clearly feel that every move and every stance he executed could unleash its peak power!
Furthermore...
He stomped his foot, and the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal suddenly activated. Layers of Profound Yellow energy swept out, and the surrounding dust, shifting between light and heavy... astonishingly whipped up into whirlwinds!
At the same time, the Formless Warrior nearby vibrated, and its state, which had originally been a vague humanoid figure composed of aura, immediately transformed, astonishingly revealing Zhang Yu's own likeness, turning into a lifelike human figure made of aura!
"The operation of Martial Arts Insight can both enhance my destructive power and improve my ability to control details. The scale of force application can also be precisely controlled within an extremely small range..."
Under the blessing of the Martial Saint Body, overall, Zhang Yu felt his construction efficiency had increased by several tens of percent. However, he still needed to slowly experiment with its more subtle uses.
Just then, Zhang Yu saw a large group of people barge into the pharmaceutical factory!
Qu Lecheng looked at the group, his forehead covered in sweat, and said, "We're producing at full capacity every day; we haven't stopped for a single day!"
The leader of the group said coldly, "To combat the Twin Rest Cult, the entire university town is now undergoing random inspections to check for any unjustified production halts or malicious leaves of absence!"
"Also, in response to the call from above, all factories are required to further increase working hours!"
Qu Lecheng said helplessly, "We're already producing 24 hours a day. How can we increase it further?"
The other party said blandly, "That I don't know. The notice has been given to you; overcome the difficulties yourselves!"
In an unoccupied corner of the pharmaceutical factory:
Zhang Yu, tired from working all night, was receiving treatment from Xiao Qingxuan.
Although with his own regenerative abilities, he could heal himself through body vitalization, since Xiao Qingxuan was willing to help improve efficiency, Zhang Yu was naturally delighted.
During his time at the factory, he frequently received treatment from Xiao Qingxuan, and his trust in Xiao Qingxuan's ancient medical techniques grew stronger.
Seeing Xiao Qingxuan's somewhat gloomy face, Zhang Yu asked, puzzled, "Old Xiao, are you in a bad mood today?"
Xiao Qingxuan sighed, and after a moment of hesitation, he thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is now deeply trusted by Old Gao. In the future, he is destined to be a pillar of the Civil Engineering Department. Pursuing master's and doctoral degrees is inevitable for him, and after graduation, he will likely either join a company or stay to teach in the Civil Engineering Department!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Qingxuan said, "You must have heard people say that I was once taken over by an ancient Golden Core, right?"
