Inside the construction site, Yu Xinghan felt the entire area shut down as the earth quaked, providing him with a legitimate excuse to stop working. The Twin Rest Virus within him seemed to intensify, causing his spiritual power and vital energy to become sluggish, like stagnant water. Yu Xinghan was startled by this realization, thinking, “If Zhang Yu hadn’t increased our wages beforehand, the Twin Rest Virus might have spread even more severely within the construction site after this stoppage.”

Just then, another violent tremor came from deep within the earth.

Outside the demon-kin’s construction site, as the ground shook violently, Shi Huaiyu, Ying Xin, and others, who had just been protesting, were all thrown into the air. Xiang Shan’s elephant trunk curled up, and his massive body, like a small mountain, slowly walked towards the group that had been flung away. With each step he took, the earth vibrated violently, and powerful gang qi shot into the sky. Combined with the power of military-grade dharma bones, it unleashed astonishing pressure. With the activation of both the Xumi Mountain King Sutra and the Tribulation Flow Ming Wang Type IV, Xiang Shan felt at that moment that if there were a great river before him, he could blast it to flow upstream, and if there were mountains, he could smash them into collapse. Who could stop him on this construction site? Who could block him?

The next moment, upon seeing Xiao Qingxuan, burdened with tens of thousands in debt, standing before him, Xiang Shan immediately calmed down. This person truly couldn’t be messed with.

“Hmph! If you have problems, figure them out yourselves. If you interfere with our construction again, I’ll report you directly to the Wanfa University leadership and accuse you of discriminating against demon-kin and undermining the unity between our two schools.” After a cold snort, Xiang Shan turned and left, leaving the Wanfa University crowd full of anger and helplessness.

As Xiang Shan returned to work, his eye-bone flashed, and he saw a message pop up.

“How are things?”

Xiang Shan replied: Very smooth.

Xiang Shan: Don’t worry, with me here, Zhang Yu’s company won’t get a day’s work done.

Xiang Shan: That investment?

The other party replied: As long as you fulfill the agreement, the investment will come.

Meanwhile, Shi Huaiyu clenched her fists tightly. The Earth Fiend Gravity seemed to rise and dissipate within her. She suppressed her impulse, knowing that even if she activated the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power at this moment, it would be useless and would only expose her.

As the people on the construction site worried, whooshing sounds filled the air, accompanied by a surge of air waves, and Zhang Yu’s figure appeared on the scene. At the same time, Xiang Shan’s figure shot into the sky, looking at Zhang Yu with undisguised hostility. In last year’s Civil Engineering Competition, he had lost to Zhang Yu by a single move. Although his strength at the time far surpassed Zhang Yu’s, a strategic error caused him to lose the first-place title in the competition, forfeit countless opportunities, and caused his reputation at Tianyao University to plummet. Seeing Zhang Yu again now, Xiang Shan’s eyes were filled with envy and rage.

Xiang Shan growled, “Zhang Yu!”

Over the past year or so, Xiang Shan’s experiences had been tumultuous. Initially, due to his failure in the Civil Engineering Competition, his status at Tianyao University was severely damaged. He became an object of scorn for countless demon-kin in the spiritual realm, and his income plummeted. He racked his brains trying to repay his debts. However, later, Wanfa University and Tianyao University collaborated, and Wanfa University’s finance department invested heavily in Tianyao University. Excellent students like him could even obtain scholarship loans from the finance department more easily than Wanfa University students. Since coming to work at Wanfa University, his income and working environment had steadily improved. Now, through an acquaintance in the finance department, he had even leased a military-grade dharma bone, possessing three military-grade powers. Seeing Zhang Yu before him, Xiang Shan felt his fighting spirit surge, wanting to compete with him again and thoroughly wash away his past humiliation.

“Zhang Yu has only been in his transferred department for just over a year and only mastered two military-grade powers: the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power and the Heaven Sun Brilliant God.”

“Although he recently won the Design Competition, that competition tested artifact design ability, which is unrelated to one’s own power.”

“But I now possess three military-grade powers, and my actual work capability far surpasses his.”

Xiang Shan took a deep breath, thinking, “At this moment, Zhang Yu, from the Artifact Forging Department, has a great reputation, but his actual work capability is inferior to mine. He’s perfect as a stepping stone for me to regain fame at Tianyao University.”

“Tianyao University Civil Engineering Student Crushes Wanfa University Artifact Forging Student?”

Just thinking about that news headline made Xiang Shan couldn’t help but smile. Of course, the “crush” Xiang Shan envisioned here didn’t mean genuinely defeating the other party in battle. After all, students from the Artifact Forging Department… who knew how many spirit coins they’d have to pay if their items broke? Xiang Shan’s idea was to compete with him using construction methods, forcing him to concede for the sake of the project.

Looking at Xiang Shan before him, Zhang Yu’s expression remained unchanged. He simply said indifferently, “Xiang Shan, I’ll only ask you once, can you control your strength and not affect our construction here?”

Xiang Shan shouted, “Zhang Yu, are you discriminating against demon-kin?”

Zhang Yu was slightly startled, thinking, what did he say that made him discriminate against demon-kin? In Xiang Shan’s eye-bone, as the Demon-kin Discrimination List was activated, Zhang Yu’s head had already been tinged red. This was a spiritual realm talisman that Wanfa University’s finance department had specifically paid the Talisman Department to develop for demon-kin students to promote unity between the two schools. All demon-kin could upload information about discriminators to the spiritual realm when they encountered discrimination, to be recorded on the Demon-kin Discrimination List. The more times a target was recorded for discrimination, the more vivid red they appeared in the spiritual realm vision of the demon-kin. Zhang Yu had been uploaded to the discrimination list by a large number of demon-kin during the last university town construction site incident, when he displayed his military ID to stop conflicts between demon-kin and civil engineering students. At this moment, Zhang Yu appeared very red in Xiang Shan’s eyes. In Xiang Shan’s view, this meant that every action, every glance, every movement of Zhang Yu could be discriminatory towards demon-kin.

Xiang Shan yelled, “Zhang Yu, demon-kin won’t tolerate your discrimination!”

Zhang Yu snapped, “Where the hell did I discriminate against demon-kin?”

Xiang Shan said coldly, “Hmph, would you use that tone when speaking to humans?”

“I fu—” Zhang Yu opened his mouth, momentarily unsure where to begin.

Xiang Shan continued, “I’ll also only say this once: don’t make excuses for your discrimination! Civil engineering construction relies on individual skill. If you can’t even overcome environmental issues, then don’t come to the construction site.” Following Xiang Shan’s words, the many demon-kin workers behind him cheered.

“Well said!”

“This is Tianyao University’s construction site; it’s not for you humans to dictate!”

“Long live Tianyao!”

Zhang Yu, however, didn’t know that within a few words, he had become increasingly red on the Demon-kin Discrimination List.

“Alright, remember what you said.” Zhang Yu couldn’t be bothered to talk to the other party any longer. With a flick of his hand, the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power suddenly activated, and he already carried his employees flying back towards their own construction site.

Watching this scene, Xiang Shan waited intently; he knew Zhang Yu would never just leave in such a dejected manner.

The next moment, amidst rumbling and cracking sounds, Xiang Shan saw Zhang Yu grab his own construction site. The entire construction site, like a massive floating island, rapidly ascended into the sky. At the same time, the Everbright Star Core within the Heaven Sun Brilliant God body violently rotated, unleashing fiery pillars that fiercely erupted beneath the floating island, becoming the power for its ascent. The large amount of sand and soil beneath the floating island was continuously incinerated by the Everbright Brilliant Flame, releasing waves of heat while being refined into spiritual power. In a blink of an eye, the floating island drifted directly above Xiang Shan’s head. As the Heaven Sun Brilliant God, like many small suns, continuously released heat downwards, the entire Tianyao University construction site became like a scorching oven, making the demon-kin sweat profusely while also feeling that their classmates around them seemed to be getting increasingly fragrant.

Xiang Shan, however, remained calm and said, “Don’t be afraid, everyone hide underground. Let’s see how long he can keep burning!” Xiang Shan also went underground, and as the Xumi Mountain King Sutra was violently activated, it caused the earth to quake again.

“How long can you build in the sky? You’ll have to come down eventually, won’t you?”

“I’ll completely change the geological environment here. Even if you come down, you’ll have to re-lay the foundation!” At the same time, Zhang Yu had long anticipated the demon-kin hiding underground. He simply tapped the sword box lightly, and 12 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords shot out one by one, circling around him.

The next moment, accompanied by streaks of sword light shooting into the sky, the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Array suddenly activated. The 12 flying swords seemed to connect into one, with all spiritual realm information, spiritual power, and sword qi linked together.

“Taihao Intranet, Slash!” With Zhang Yu’s finger pointing out, the 12 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords spread out in four directions, encircling the entire Tianyao University construction site. Immediately after, the Taihao Intranet formed by the sword array, like an invisible sharp sword, seemed to pierce through the spiritual realm network at the scene. In a blink of an eye, the demon-kin in the construction site found their eye-bones all jammed to their limits, and their information exchange with the spiritual realm slowed down to an unprecedented degree. But the next moment, the slowness turned into speed, and with a large amount of spiritual realm information exchange, their data fees skyrocketed.

Xiang Shan angrily shouted, “Zhang Yu! Are you destroying our construction site’s spiritual realm network?!”

Zhang Yu said calmly, “I’m just building our construction site’s internal network. If your spiritual realm network is affected, what does that have to do with me?”

“Civil engineering construction relies on individual skill. If you can’t even overcome environmental issues, that’s your own lack of ability, then don’t come to the construction site.” As many demon-kin panicked over the drastic changes in the spiritual realm, Zhang Yu gently tapped his fingertip. With each tap, an invisible sword light seemed to flash within the sword array, cutting towards the depths of the earth. The next moment, bursts of fire exploded deep underground. It was the Everbright Brilliant Flame unleashed by the Heaven Sun Brilliant God, which had appeared deep underground at some point and began to heat up the entire construction site. Feeling the rapid heating underground, Xiang Shan was startled. He had initially thought the changes in the spiritual realm network were due to talismans, but now, with a little thought, he realized: “It’s the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Array?!”
