Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 259 - 217: Let the Brothers Suffer, I’ll Bear the Blame!

Watching Xiong Wei and Wu Ziying rush toward the competition venue with confused expressions, Su Yuan smiled.

He just claimed that "Dragon Base Divine Power" and "Thousand Sinews Staff Technique" were Earth and Wood Divine Skills, and he wasn't lying.

Or rather, strictly speaking, these two martial arts are essentially Earth and Wood Demon Techniques, and the system's determination wasn't wrong!

After the system's reminder, Su Yuan had already uncovered the true purpose of these demon techniques.

And right now, it's the perfect moment for these demon techniques to display their magical effects!

In the first round, Xiong Wei and Lu Da appeared, competing in the project of foundation laying.

Strictly speaking, it's one of the most crucial steps in foundation construction, piling.

In front of each of them, there were eighteen alloy piles as thick as their waists and two meters long.

They needed to drive the eighteen alloy piles to the appropriate positions and depths within identical areas.

After all the alloy piles were driven, Su Yuan and Song Mountain would jointly check the firmness of both foundations to decide the winner.

Before the piling, both competitors consolidated the land they were responsible for.

The process was straightforward: both Xiong Wei and Lu Da used their strength to stomp the ground crazily until the soil was compacted as solid as concrete.

The better the early consolidation was done, the harder it would be to drive the alloy piles into the ground, but once achieved, the foundation's strength would far exceed the ordinary standard.

To make the foundation as solid as possible, they used all their abilities.

The War Trample and various techniques like Heavy Ground Punch were smashed onto the ground, creating a buzzing sound like the tolling of a great bell.

At first, the workers were ready to laugh at Xiong Wei.

But as Xiong Wei's immense power continued to ravage the ground, and the visible subsidence was deeper than that of Lu Da's area, the workers were moved.

It's known that Lu Da is the strongest worker in the Black Labor Sect, and his consolidated land and laid foundation are always the best.

According to Song Mountain, Lu Da's strength was already comparable to an average Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage!

But the naturally strong Lu Da was easily defeated by a student in terms of strength?

These Top Ten Preparatory Class students had some skills.

Yet the workers only felt slightly surprised, still not optimistic about Xiong Wei.

Consolidating the land is manageable, but piling requires more than just brute strength; it also demands skill.

Soon, the competition moved to the piling phase.

To accommodate the novice Xiong Wei, Song Mountain specifically marked the positions for the eighteen alloy piles, and Xiong Wei only needed to drive the piles according to the positions.

Unfortunately, even though Song Mountain deliberately went easy on him, Xiong Wei's piling skills were mediocre at best.

He didn't understand the principle of "heavy hammer, light hit" and just used brute force to drive the alloy piles into the ground.

This caused some damage to the pile bodies, preventing them from achieving optimal load-bearing effects.

On the other hand, Lu Da obviously appeared more professional, with a fine touch despite the force.

While keeping the pile bodies intact, he drove each alloy pile to the most suitable depth and angle.

It was a clear distinction between the two!

At this point, the workers could have started celebrating with champagne.

Though they didn't have the conditions to pop champagne on the spot, they couldn't help but boo Su Yuan's side.

Even though the students from the preparatory class were indignant, they couldn't retort.

An hour later, Lu Da, catching up later, was the first to drive all eighteen alloy piles.

In the area Xiong Wei was responsible for, there was still one central alloy pile left undriven.

Just as he picked up this thick metal pile, preparing to persist in finishing the competition, Su Yuan suddenly spoke:

"Wait, this alloy pile doesn't need to be driven."

Su Yuan's words attracted the attention of everyone present.

Lu Da couldn't help but taunt:

"Without driving eighteen piles, the foundation's center of gravity will definitely be unstable!"

"Sect Leader Su, if you don't know, don't randomly command; otherwise, it will only make your Primordial Sect lose more embarrassingly."

Laughter erupted from the Black Labor Sect's side.

Su Yuan glanced at Lu Da and said flatly:

"Who said I won't drive the eighteenth pile? I just think the pile's material isn't good enough."

Lu Da was visibly startled.

Before he could inquire, Su Yuan had already walked over to Xiong Wei, pointing to the only remaining pile position and saying:

"Old Xiong, the material for the eighteenth pile cannot be made of ordinary materials, but rather... you are indispensable!"

Xiong Wei: "..."

To be honest, Xiong Wei's mind has been chaotic since being brought over by Su Yuan for the competition.

He was well aware of his significant gap in piling skills compared to Lu Da, and during the competition, he wished he could crawl into a hole.

As for the effect of Dragon Base Divine Power on foundation laying?

It's only apt to say that he was fooled!

Just as this embarrassing competition was about to end, Su Yuan came up with another trick?

Xiong Wei held back his anger and quietly asked:

"What do you mean by 'indispensable'?"

Su Yuan's tone was calm, but the content was shocking:

"Literal meaning, it's for you personally to be the last pile."

Xiong Wei: "..."

He hardened! His fists hardened!

You're using me as a live pile, huh!

He almost couldn't control his hands, wanting to shove Su Yuan into the ground.

But the next second, Su Yuan calmly asked:

"Xiong, have you forgotten the role of Dragon Base Divine Power?"

Upon these words, Xiong Wei instinctively recalled the overview of this Body Refining Secret Technique.
