Chapter 571: What a Beast! Building Recklessly!

As one of the top universities ranked among the Ten Greats, Wanfa University's flagship program's military-grade power naturally had some renown; even Xiang Shan, far away at Tiānyāo University, had heard of it.

And after Xiang Shan learned that he was coming to Wanfa University for a project, he further investigated many pieces of intelligence about Wanfa University.

For instance, the Tool Refining Department possessed the renowned Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation, and Xiang Shan had read relevant introductions.

He just hadn't expected Zhang Yu to now actually be able to mobilize this military-grade power.

Recalling the scenes of Zhang Yu's actions just now, Xiang Shan's expression also turned slightly grave.

"The essence of flying sword cutting is the compression of matter."

"And the essence of the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation cutting the spirit realm is to use an inner network formed by twelve flying swords to compress the spirit realm."

"And in ancient times, this Taihao inner network was called the Taihao Sword Realm..."

With thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning, Xiang Shan already felt surging waves of heat continuously coming from deep underground.

Streams of flame transformed into large hands, striving to stabilize the trembling earth.

"Besides compressing the spirit realm, the Taihao Sword Realm can also transmit power within the range of the sword formation."

Xiang Shan knew that Zhang Yu was at this moment using the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation to transmit the Eternal Sun Blazing Flame erupted by the Heavenly Sun Blazing God into the ground in one go, cooperating with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power to stabilize the earth.

At the same time, fire raged both in the sky and underground. Xiang Shan felt as if he and his classmates had been locked by Zhang Yu into a huge oven, the temperature of their flesh and blood continuously rising.

Xiang Shan angrily rebuked: "Zhang Yu! Are you trying to set fire to our Tianyao University construction site? If you burn a single Yao descendant to death today, I will report you to the president of Wanfa University!"

Zhang Yu's voice came calmly from the sky: "The earth veins are unstable, affecting the construction. I'm just suppressing them a bit. It'll be over soon, everyone bear with it."

Xiang Shan hadn't expected a single angry rebuke to stop the other party anyway; the next moment, he cycled his mana and activated the rented military-grade legal relic—the Celestial Elephant Bone.

In an instant, dark clouds surged in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, thunderclaps sounded, followed by a downpour that rushed head-on, drenching the entire world.

Of course, this was not a natural climate change managed by the orthodox gods, but a small-scale celestial phenomenon forcibly manipulated by a military-grade magical artifact, yet its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.

With the mad torrent of rain, the heat wave that had been sweeping through moments ago was immediately alleviated.

"Hmph? Rain?" Zhang Yu snorted coldly and shouted: "Then I'll burn this sky dry."

Next moment, as mana was madly output, the Eternal Sun Blazing Flame beneath the floating island began devouring rocks all around. The fire suddenly surged, like a blazing sun in the sky, emitting dazzling light.

At the same time, streams of fire dragons shuttled back and forth within the sword formation, carrying astonishing heat waves flashing deep underground, like surging lava churning to and fro.

Feeling this scene, Xiang Shan sneered, and as his blood qi erupted throughout his body, a white fang violently extended: "Let's see how long you can burn!"

In the blink of an eye, the rain in the sky became even more torrential, and streams of cold currents attacked, mixing bits of frost into the rain, gradually turning from heavy rain to a mix of rain and snow.

Xiang Shan and Zhang Yu engaged in a magical duel, one water and one fire. The entire construction site seemed to turn into a giant steamer, making the workers feel hot and cold by turns, all caught in the crossfire of their duel.

After such an intense fight, Xiang Shan couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Who would have thought that Zhang Yu, who just over a year ago was beaten by me into fleeing with his head down and could only narrowly win through underhanded schemes, has now nearly caught up to me."

"The Tool Refining Department... after all, has an advantage over the Civil Engineering Department. If I were to encounter him again in a few months, even I might no longer be able to contend with him."

"This time, it's indeed the best chance to step on him."

Thinking this, Xiang Shan suddenly exerted force, unleashing all his cultivation and legal relics to their full extent.

And just then, he felt waves of piercing cold sweep over his body, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, even causing his blood qi to sink.

"This is..."

Xiang Shan looked at the various body parameters displayed in his eye relic and understood that his body temperature had absolutely not dropped; that piercing cold, icy feeling was a psychological illusion.

"It's sword intent."

Xiang Shan suddenly recalled the introduction regarding the Taihao Moral Sword Intent within the Taihao Sacred Law Sword Formation.

"The Taihao Moral Sword Intent is a method used in the sword formation to lock onto targets."

Xiang Shan understood even more that if the Taihao Moral Sword Intent were used to lock onto the physical position of simple matter, it wouldn't be very powerful or precise.

But if it swept over a human body, over a living being...

"Once swept by the sword intent, in the eyes of the formation setter, we become as clear as flames in the darkness..."

"And the greater the power of the Taihao Moral Sword Intent, the more persistent this sword intent is, and the harder it is to remove."

At the same time, Xiang Shan had already felt the intense hostility within the sword intent, clinging to his body like a stubborn bone-marrow disease; even with his cultivation and the firmness of his Dao heart, it would probably take several minutes of full-powered effort to remove it.

And feeling the overwhelming hostility in the sword intent, Xiangshan confirmed one thing in his heart.

"The refining of the Taihao Moral Sword Intent is related to the cultivator's moral standards."

"Zhang Yu's sword intent harbors such malice toward the demon bloodline..."
