Chapter 639: Chapter 578: Discrimination? Go Argue with My Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords!
At the construction site, Yu Xinghan used the entire scene halting due to the tremors from the earthquake as a legitimate excuse not to work.
Thus, the Double Rest Virus inside him seemed to become increasingly rampant, causing his mana and vitality to become more and more stagnant, as if stuck like a pool of dead water.
Yu Xinghan was startled upon realizing this, and thought to himself, "If Zhang Yu hadn’t raised the wages in advance, perhaps with this halt, the Double Rest Virus’s spread at the site would become more severe."
Just then, another bout of intense shaking emanated from the depths of the earth.
Outside the site occupied by the Demon Descendants, accompanied by the violent tremors of the ground, Shi Huaiyu, Ying Xin, and the others who were protesting were all thrown out.
Xiang Shan’s trunk curled backwards, his enormous body, akin to a small mountain, stepped steadily towards the displaced crowd.
With each step he took, the earth shook violently, powerful Gang Qi soared to the sky, mixed with the military-level power of the Magic Remains, unleashing an astonishing pressure.
With the simultaneous activation of the Sumeru Mountain King Scripture and the Four Forms of Destruction Flow Ming King, in this moment, Xiang Shan could feel that if there was a river ahead, he could make it flow backward; if there was a mountain range, he could cause it to collapse.
Who on this site could stop him? Who could stand in his way?
Until the next moment, when he saw Xiao Qingxuan stood in front of him, deeply in debt, Xiang Shan immediately calmed down—this one he truly couldn’t crash into.
He snorted coldly, "You guys figure it out yourselves. If you continue to interfere with our construction, I’ll directly inform Wanfa University’s leaders and accuse you of discriminating against the Demon Descendants and destroying the unity between the two schools."
After a cold snort, Xiang Shan turned and walked away, leaving the people from Wanfa University both furious and helpless.
As Xiang Shan returned to work, his eyes flickered and he saw a message coming through.
"How are things going?"
Xiang Shan replied: Very smoothly
Xiang Shan: Rest assured, with me here, Zhang Yu’s company won’t be able to complete a single day’s work
Xiang Shan: That investment?
The other party replied: As long as you fulfill the agreement, the investment will come
On the other side, Shi Huaiyu tightly clenched his fists, as the Earth Evil Gravity seemed to surge and dissipate within him. He restrained his impulse, realizing that even if he utilized the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power now, it would be futile and would only expose himself instead.
As the people on the construction site were fretting, the sound of air splitting rang out, accompanied by a surge of airwaves, Zhang Yu’s figure had already appeared in the arena.
At the same time, Xiang Shan’s figure shot up into the sky, looking at Zhang Yu with a gaze full of hostility.
At last year’s Civil Engineering competition, he lost by a close measure to Zhang Yu.
Clearly, his power greatly surpassed Zhang Yu at that time, yet due to a strategic mistake, he lost the first place in the Civil Engineering competition, lost countless opportunities, and his reputation in Sky Demon University plummeted.
Seeing Zhang Yu again at this moment, Xiang Shan’s jealousy was palpable.
Xiang Shan shouted in a low voice, "Zhang Yu!"
In the past year and more, Xiang Shan’s experiences have been tumultuous.
At first, because of the defeat in the Civil Engineering competition, his status at Sky Demon University was severely impacted, becoming a target of ridicule among countless Demon Descendants in the Spirit Realm, and his income plummeted, requiring him to exhaust his wits to repay debts.
But later on, Wanfa University and Sky Demon University embarked on collaboration, with Wanfa University’s Finance Department investing heavily in Sky Demon University.
For students like Xiang Shan, it became even easier than Wanfa University students to obtain scholarship loans from the Finance Department.
And ever since coming to work at Wanfa University, both his income and work environment have improved drastically.
Now, on the introduction of friends from the Finance Department, he has leased a military-level Magic Remains, possessing three military-level powers.
Seeing Zhang Yu ahead, Xiang Shan felt his fighting spirit rise, only thinking of facing him again for a rematch and washing away the shame.
"Zhang Yu has only switched departments for a little over a year, mastering only the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power and the Heavenly Sun Divine, two military-level powers."
"Though he recently won a design competition, this contest tested the participants’ ability to design Magic Treasures, unrelated to one’s own power."
"But now, holding three military-level powers, my actual work power far exceeds his."
Xiang Shan took a deep breath, pondering to himself, "At this moment, Zhang Yu, belonging to the Artifact Refining Department, may have great fame, but his actual work power is inferior to mine, making him the perfect stepping stone for my return to prominence at Sky Demon University."
"Sky Demon University civil engineering student defeats Wanfa University artifact refining student?"
Just the thought of this headline made Xiang Shan laugh uncontrollably.
Of course, when Xiang Shan imagined a defeat here, it didn’t mean beating Zhang Yu in a physical confrontation, since who knows how much they’d have to compensate if the students from the Artifact Refining Department broke their stuff...
What Xiang Shan envisioned was to challenge Zhang Yu in terms of construction work, forcing him to admit defeat for the sake of the project.
Looking at Xiang Shan ahead, Zhang Yu’s expression didn’t change much, only saying lightly: "Xiang Shan, I ask you only once, can you control your powers so as not to affect our construction here?"
Xiang Shan shouted: "Zhang Yu, are you discriminating against Demon Descendants?"
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, thinking what had he said to make him a Demon Descendant?
And within Xiang Shan’s eye sockets, as the discrimination list against demon descendants was activated, Zhang Yu’s head was already colored with a layer of red.
This is a talisman developed by the Talisman Department of Wanfa University’s Finance Department, specially funded to promote unity between the two schools, for the demon descendants at Wanfa University.
All demon descendants can upload the information of the discriminator to the Spirit Realm when they encounter discrimination, recorded by the demon descendant discrimination list.
The more times discrimination is recorded, the more scarlet the target appears in the Spirit Realm vision of the demon descendants.
And Zhang Yu was uploaded to the discrimination list by many demon descendants last time at the University City construction site for blocking the conflict between demon descendants and Civil Engineering students by flashing his military credentials.
At this moment, Zhang Yu appeared very red in Xiang Shan’s eyes, which represented, in Xiang Shan’s view, that every move, every glance, and every action of the other party might be discriminating against demon descendants.
Xiang Shan shouted, "Zhang Yu, demon descendants won’t tolerate your discrimination!"
Zhang Yu snapped, "Where the hell am I discriminating against demon descendants?"
Xiang Shan coldly said, "Hmph, would you speak to the Human Clan in this tone?"
"I bloody..." Zhang Yu opened his mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
Xiang Shan continued, "I’ll only say it once, don’t excuse your discrimination! In civil engineering construction, everyone relies on their abilities. If you can’t even overcome environmental issues, then don’t come to the construction site."
Accompanied by Xiang Shan’s remarks, many demon descendant workers behind him cheered.
"Well said!"
"This is the construction site of Sky Demon University, it’s not your Human Clan’s place to boss around!"
"Long live the Heavenly Demon!"
Zhang Yu had no idea, with just a few sentences, he became increasingly red on the demon descendant discrimination list.
"Alright, remember what you said." Zhang Yu couldn’t be bothered to say more, with a sweep of his hand, the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power abruptly launched, taking his employees back towards their own construction site.
Seeing this scene, Xiang Shan remained vigilant, knowing Zhang Yu could not possibly leave so dejectedly.
In the next moment, amidst resounding crackles, Xiang Shan saw Zhang Yu grasping his own construction site.
The entire site seemed like a huge floating island, swiftly soaring into the sky.
Simultaneously, the Constant Sun Star Core within the Heavenly Sun Divine body operated intensely, erupting columns of flame, fiercely jetting beneath the floating island, transforming into the propulsion for the island’s ascent.
The massive sand and mud beneath the floating island were continuously burned by the Constant Sun Flame, refining into mana while releasing waves of heat.
In the blink of an eye, the floating island drifted overhead above Xiang Shan.
As if little suns, columns of heat were relentlessly released downward, turning the entire Sky Demon University construction site into an oven, causing demon descendants to sweat profusely and feel their fellow students seemed increasingly fragrant.
Xiang Shan, however, was calmly unafraid, saying, "Don’t be scared, everyone go underground; let’s see how long he can burn!"
Xiang Shan also went underground, with the fierce activation of the Sumeru Mountain King Scripture, causing the ground to tremble anew.
"How long can you perform construction in the sky? Eventually, you have to come down!"
"If I completely transform this place’s geological environment, even when you come down you’ll have to re-lay the foundation!"
Meanwhile, Zhang Yu, anticipating the demon descendants hiding underground, tapped lightly on the sword box, sending 12 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords shooting out, encircling him.
In the next instant, as beams of sword light soared, the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation suddenly activated, forming unity among the 12 flying swords, interconnecting Spirit Realm information, mana, and Sword Qi.
"Taihao Intranet, slash!"
With a point of his finger, Zhang Yu directed the 12 Taihao Sacred Law Flying Swords to distribute in all directions, surrounding the entire Sky Demon University construction site.
Simultaneously, the Taihao Intranet formed by the Sword Array, like an invisible sharp blade, seemed to penetrate the on-site Spirit Realm Network.
In no time, demon descendants on the construction site found their eye sockets reaching their limits, with the exchange of Spirit Realm information slowing to unprecedented levels.
Yet the next moment, the slow turned into fast, with a large exchange of Spirit Realm information causing their data charges to soar.
Xiang Shan angrily shouted, "Zhang Yu! Are you sabotaging our construction site’s Spirit Realm Network?!"
Zhang Yu calmly said, "I’m merely constructing our site’s intranet, affecting your Spirit Realm Network has nothing to do with me."
"In civil engineering construction, everyone relies on their abilities. If you can’t even overcome environmental issues, it’s your own inability, then don’t come to the construction site."
Amidst the panic of many demon descendants over the drastic changes in the Spirit Realm, Zhang Yu’s fingertip tapped lightly, with each point emitting an invisible flash of sword light within the Sword Array, slicing deep into the ground.
In the next moment, flashes of fire burst open deep underground; it turned out to be the Constant Sun Flame released by the Heavenly Sun Divine, appearing underground, starting to warm the entire construction site.
Feeling the rapid temperature rise underground, Xiang Shan was shocked.
He originally thought the change in the Spirit Realm Network was due to talismans, but a slight connection now revealed, "Is it the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation?!"
