After Zhang Yu handed the video to Magnetic Pole True Monarch, the Monarch then assigned Zhang Yu another task.
"Go et Master Xuyang."
Zhang Yu asked, "Master Xuyang? What am I eting him for?"
He probed, "Plus, he’s a Golden Core True Man, and I’m just a Foundation Establishnt disciple, I wouldn’t be able to have a say in front of him, would I?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch smiled and said, "It’s not like you need to fight him, and what’s the use of fighting anyway? Would he dare touch you now? You’re representing ."
The Monarch thought for a mont, then continued to explain, "Zhang Yu, physically destroying an opponent is the last resort, the lowest tactic, and sects that just slaughter have all perished in history."
"The higher tactic is to learn to use people, to learn to leverage more resources and energy."
The Monarch sighed, "And the highest tactic is to be like an Immortal, regardless of whether they are under you or what they think, in this world, every move, every word... ultimately becos food for their Immortal Path."
With that said, the Monarch waved his hand, "I’ll lend you my Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower for now. Go and speak with Master Xuyang."
"Tell him if he’s willing to turn over the people behind him, I can ensure his safety."
After leaving the lab, Zhang Yu felt as if an invisible force from the Spirit Realm enveloped him.
And in his eye sockets, there was an added button with the text: On/Off
As Zhang Yu focused his thoughts lightly on the button, the next mont, the phantom of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower rose thunderously behind him, startling him.
At the sa ti, a new array of buttons popped out in his eye sockets, things like Ghosts and Gods Avoidance, Resistance to All Evils, Indestructibility, Spirit Realm Traversal...
However, most of the buttons were gray, indicating that Magnetic Pole True Monarch hadn’t given Zhang Yu the authority to activate them.
Feeling more people focusing on him, Zhang Yu swiftly concentrated his mind on the button to shut down the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower.
"But where is Master Xuyang now?"
Zhang Yu pondered, then ssaged Zhang Pianpian, "Senior, do you know where Master Xuyang is now?"
...
On the Flying Boat.
As University City gradually shrunk in view, Master Xuyang’s brows furrowed tighter.
Today is the day he goes for his college assignnt.
He couldn’t even rember the na of the college, simply referring to it as ’college.’
And until he boarded the Flying Boat, no one had said goodbye through the Spirit Realm, and none ca to see him off.
Thinking of this, Master Xuyang sighed at the transient nature of human relations.
But in the next mont, faint waves of the Spirit Realm flickered through the air, and a figure seemingly traversed thousands of miles, directly arriving before him through the Spirit Realm.
Seeing the figure clearly, Master Xuyang’s expression shifted slightly, "Zhang Yu?"
The one appearing before him, having activated the Spirit Realm Traversal ability of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower, was Zhang Yu projecting from the Spirit Realm.
Master Xuyang held a hint of hostility on his face and coldly said, "What do you want?"
Looking at Master Xuyang, Zhang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Master Xuyang, rember we first t on the Flying Boat."
Hearing this, Master Xuyang’s face grew colder.
Zhang Yu continued, "Are you content going to college just like that?"
Seeing him say nothing, Zhang Yu went on, "Life offers many paths; there’s never one that has to end in darkness."
"As they say, a wise bird chooses its tree; with your cultivation and skills, won’t going to college bury you for life?"
As he spoke, the splendor of the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower flashed behind Zhang Yu, causing Master Xuyang’s expression to slightly tremble.
"Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower..." Naturally, Master Xuyang recognized Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s fad Magic Treasure, realizing Zhang Yu indeed represents the Monarch.
Master Xuyang felt a slight softening of his resolve but rembering what was promised to him, he remained firm, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, nor am I interested."
"Leave; I don’t want to see you again."
Seeing the stiff rejection, Zhang Yu didn’t mind, smiled slightly, and vanished into thin air.
Master Xuyang turned away, gazing toward the University City now but a small dot, reminiscing about their first eting on the Flying Boat, not expecting the present has changed so much.
"I’ll be back."
...
Finishing communication with Master Xuyang, Zhang Yu returned the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower to Magnetic Pole True Monarch and reported Master Xuyang’s response.
Then Director Gao contacted him.
Director Gao: Are you okay? I was planning to go to the Patrol Team, but I didn’t expect Yu Xinghan to co out so quickly.
Zhang Yu briefly explained the situation at the construction site, to which Director Gao replied: The construction site should indeed be cleaned.
Director Gao: Contacting you now is also regarding this matter.
Director Gao: I plan to set up daily dual-cultivation virus detection tasks at all Civil Engineering Departnt sites.
Director Gao: Your company will need to cooperate when the ti cos.
Zhang Yu: I’ll definitely take the lead in cooperating.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s reply, Director Gao nodded slightly, starting to arrange tasks in the Civil Engineering Departnt’s work group.
In fact, Director Gao had long been aware of the virus transmission issue at the construction site and has been wanting to conduct comprehensive testing and screening.
However, doing so would slow down work efficiency and increase costs, which would lower profits.
For the workers, it would affect their working hours and reduce their inco.
One could say that the idea of virus testing has faced resistance from top to bottom in the construction sector; Director Gao’s proposal was imdiately opposed by nurous leaders, directors, and subordinates.
Yet at this mont, taking advantage of the montum of the Patrol Team’s virus inspection, Director Gao once again pushed for the initiative.
This ti the workers were still not very cooperative, but the leadership had agreed with Director Gao’s approach.
After all, in recent tis, the Patrol Team has checked several construction sites, and once the virus is exposed, it leads to halting operations. Therefore, it would be better to first inspect internally within the Civil Engineering Departnt and clear out those carrying the virus.
...
At the construction site.
Yu Xinghan was queuing together with Ying Xin and others, preparing for a new day of virus detection.
With Director Gao’s full push, every site has now comnced daily virus tests and various virus prevention campaigns.
Yu Xinghan’s ears were filled with complaints from the surrounding workers, while people around him appeared and disappeared in his third eye.
During this period, Yu Xinghan has been trying hard to control his third eye.
After all, the current third eye is much stronger than in the past—just by seeing soone, he can learn the martial arts they are practicing.
However, Yu Xinghan and Zhang Yu shared the sa thought; he wasn’t interested in learning a bunch of useless martial arts, which would increase his risk of exposure inversely.
Thus, he made efforts to control his third eye, striving to manage the ability to proactively turn on and off this learning state.
Yu Xinghan raised his head, looking at Shi Huaiyu, observing the mana flow within the latter’s body, and was slightly pleased: "Controlled it—didn’t learn randomly."
Yu Xinghan’s favorite target to observe with his third eye is Shi Huaiyu, since the latter is skilled in the Seven Extres of Civil Engineering and has cultivated the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power; even learning the latter’s cultivation technique wouldn’t be a loss, making them the best practice subject.
Just at this mont, a commotion sounded in the distance.
Yu Xinghan turned his head to see a large group of demon descendants shouting slogans, opposing the virus testing.
"Daily testing is a form of discrimination against demon descendants!"
"The so-called prevention work completely disregards our culture."
"Why reduce the number of dual cultivations? How would dual cultivation spread the virus?"
...
Inside the laboratory.
Zhang Yu watched the news reports of demon descendant workers at multiple construction sites protesting against the tests, even gathering in large numbers for dual cultivation to directly confront the virus tests.
"Isn’t soone behind all this?"
"Just uncertain if this is the sa group backing Xiang Shan and Master Xuyang..."
Viewing the figures in various videos, Zhang Yu reconfird one thing: the third eye indeed can’t see through screens to observe mana flow within others’ bodies.
"To witness the mana flow in physical ridians, on-site observation is necessary."
Scanning through notifications on the social platform, Zhang Yu casually glanced to see abundant insults from demon descendants.
Now, Xiang Shan has undoubtedly beco a symbolic figure among Sky Demon University’s myriad students, representing those oppressed by the Human Clan.
And naturally, Zhang Yu has beco their Human Clan representative who oppresses Xiang Shan.
Especially with Sky Demon University’s astonishing number of demon descendants, it brings a surge of soul cultivators, enabling them to make a significant impact in the Spirit Realm, often overwhelming one comnt section after another wherever they go.
"These guys, when eting in reality, looking at my military badge and ranking, each one bows respectfully."
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Yet arriving at the Spirit Realm, their courage multiplied by hundreds."
Nevertheless, Zhang Yu felt, although few were willing to verbally spar with demon descendants in the Spirit Realm for his sake, many secretly supported him.
This was evident from those who liked his posts.
Such as Mo Enting of the Civil Engineering Departnt, Xiao Qingxuan and others, along with Yan Qianji, Bei Wufeng, Ye Xingli from the Artifact Refining Departnt.
"Especially Bei Wufeng, who liked almost all my posts—this guy just plays discrimination."
"Yet these demons don’t target him, instead, they target who doesn’t discriminate."
Zhang Yu clicked on Bei Wufeng’s avatar, finding it has been changed.
"Was the previous avatar too aggressive against demon descendants, and due to the current intense situation, he changed it?"
Besides the likes, Zhang Yu also noticed a significant increase in artifact refining business inquiries recently, which he handed over to Heavenly Sun Divine and his assistants for profit.
He thought to himself, "Although demon descendants are nurous, how many can afford Magic Treasures and Magic Remains? They were never my target custors."
"On the contrary, those who discriminate against demon descendants... many are quite wealthy."
"This persona of discriminating against demon descendants might actually attract quite a bit of business."
Looking at the demon descendants tirelessly arguing in the comnt sections, Zhang Yu mused, "Go ahead, keep at it, might just bring more business."
Surveying the ssages within the Spirit Realm briefly, Zhang Yu then resud cultivating Heaven and Earth Destruction Invisible Heart Soldiers.
With June upon them, next month Zhang Yu would officially face Bei Wufeng, contending for the school team qualification in his hands.
In the ensuing ti, Zhang Yu planned to fully cultivate this technique, striving to advance its level.
