Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 331 - 275: Dimensional Strike from Lord Evil Extermination!
"The Jianmu Divine Needle is the Earth and Wood Department’s treasured artifact, with a long history."
"A hundred years ago, our department collaborated with three artifact refining masters from the Profound Art Celestial Sect to create this Spiritual Treasure, rated at the Nascent Soul Peak."
"Its diameter is a hundred meters, and its length can flexibly stretch from a hundred kilometers to a thousand kilometers. It is the eternal wisdom of us Earth and Wood people."
"To this day, the Jianmu Divine Needle remains the spiritual flag for billions of Earth and Wood people in the Blue Star Federation!"
A senior student from the fourth year of the Earth and Wood Department was strolling beneath the Jianmu Divine Needle with freshmen, talking at length.
Listening to the glorious history of the Earth and Wood Department, even the most ordinary of freshmen, Wang Zhengyu, couldn’t help but puff up his chest with pride.
Over two months ago, he followed a group of paragons from Taihua City to the Ten Immortals City and had felt inferior because his grades could only qualify for the Top Ten Earth and Wood Department.
But now it seems, the Earth and Wood Department is not inferior to any other department.
The previous worries he had were completely unnecessary, the rumors about the Earth and Wood Department facing prejudice and discrimination outside should also be unfounded.
As he gazed at the magnificent and grand Jianmu Divine Needle, a sudden impulse arose in Wang Zhengyu’s heart.
He lifted his hand, wanting to touch the coarse surface of the Jianmu Divine Needle, to feel the generations of Earth and Wood people’s guardianship since the founding of the School of Earth and Wood.
But just as his hand was about to touch the Jianmu Divine Needle, the senior student stopped him:
"Don’t touch it!"
"The Jianmu Divine Needle is our Earth and Wood people’s spiritual totem, keep it in your heart instead; touching it is a form of desecration."
"The senior is right."
Wang Zhengyu hastily withdrew his hand, looking flustered, thinking he almost made a big mistake.
As he was thinking this, the senior student continued:
"Our Earth and Wood Department, though it can be tough, truly earns big money."
"To earn money in the future, we should endure hardships now."
"Coincidentally, there is a teaching building built a hundred and fifty years ago in our School of Earth and Wood that needs to be demolished and rebuilt. This is an opportunity to gain valuable experience."
"As the saying goes, ’Don’t let fertile water flow to outsiders’ fields,’ we can’t let the external construction team earn the money for rebuilding the teaching building."
"Originally, this project was reserved for us seniors, but to take care of the newcomers, we’ve unanimously decided to give this precious opportunity to the freshmen."
"Starting tomorrow, you can attend classes at the construction site for the rebuilt teaching building."
"With the guidance of mentors, not only can you progress rapidly, but you’ll also receive an internship wage, isn’t that suitable?"
At this point, the freshmen were still immersed in the glorious history of the Earth and Wood Department; after hearing what the senior student said, they agreed without hesitation.
Initially, they didn’t even realize anything was wrong.
As the Earth and Wood Department freshmen were getting excited as if injected with adrenaline, a voice rang out not far away.
"Excuse me, is this the Spiritual Treasure for collecting Nine Heavens Gang Qi and Nine Nether Evil Qi?"
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a boy wearing the same school uniform as them.
However, the boy’s school emblem was slightly different from theirs.
The basic school emblem of Evil Extermination University is a golden ancient sword engraved with mountains, rivers, plants, sun, moon, and stars on the blade.
Depending on the department, the school emblem will have corresponding changes based on this.
For instance, the Earth and Wood Department’s emblem adds tree ring-like wooden grain on the golden ancient sword.
For instance, the Sword Dao Department’s emblem transforms from one sword to two, with the additional sword being the back of the golden ancient sword, engraved with the art of agriculture and animal husbandry and the art of unification of the four seas.
Another example is the Evil Extermination Department’s emblem, where the gem at the end of the golden ancient sword becomes a golden divine eye overseeing heaven and earth.
And the boy in front of them had the Evil Extermination Department’s emblem!
Originating from Taihua City, Wang Zhengyu recognized the newcomer at first glance, as none other than the famous Su Yuan, the Master of the Primordial Sect and top scorer in the Gaokao!
Not to mention Wang Zhengyu, the other students, after a moment of confusion, quickly recognized Su Yuan as well.
After all, Su Yuan’s daily livestream product sales are not for nothing; he is currently the popular figure at Evil Extermination University.
The freshmen didn’t have any particular feeling about Su Yuan’s appearance, but the senior student visibly became more vigilant.
"Su Yuan, you’re a freshman at Evil Extermination Academy, what are you doing in our Earth and Wood Department?"
"Oh, I’m just borrowing the Power of Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends within the Jianmu Divine Needle for some cultivation."
Su Yuan replied nonchalantly.
As he spoke, he casually touched the wooden body of the Jianmu Divine Needle, somewhat in awe:
"This piece of wood is really big."
Seeing this, Wang Zhengyu clenched his fists immediately.
Su Yuan, this guy, is too frivolous, daring to casually touch the sacred artifact of the Earth and Wood Department! He didn’t even touch it earlier!
Senior, speak up!
Wang Zhengyu shouted in his heart, looking expectantly at the senior student, only to see him speechless, as if under some kind of restraint.
But how is this possible, that senior student is a Foundation Establishment Peak Cultivator, how could he be suppressed by Su Yuan?
Is it just because he’s ranked second among the freshmen in the Evil Extermination Department?
The senior student remained silent for a while before he slowly said:
"If you want to use it, go ahead."
"However, our department’s remodeling of the teaching building also requires the Jianmu Divine Needle. From eight to eleven in the morning, and from two to six in the afternoon, is our construction time; you can use it at other times as you please."
These words seemed quite normal, but to Wang Zhengyu and the other freshmen of the Earth and Wood Department, they sounded like a concession of grievance!
The sacred artifact of the Earth and Wood Department was actually going to be used at will by an outsider!
How is this different from seeing your wife go out with a handsome and wealthy man, and then lying to you that it’s just a pure friendship?
That’s it, fists are clenched!
Su Yuan didn’t notice the strange atmosphere among the Earth and Wood students, and just sincerely said:
"Senior, rest assured, I will use it on time, and I won’t cause you any trouble."
Senior: "Do you want to use it now?"
Su Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"There’s no rush for that, since I’m here, it would be impolite not to tour the Earth and Wood Department."
Saying this, Su Yuan with anticipation on his face added:
"Even from outside the Ten Immortals City, I could see the Jianmu Divine Needle that penetrates heaven and earth. If it hadn’t been for the counselor telling me, I wouldn’t believe this Spiritual Treasure belongs to the Earth and Wood Department."
"Just one Jianmu Divine Needle is so extraordinary, there must be even more impressive cultivation facilities in the Earth and Wood Department."
"After all, your Earth and Wood Department is the best in infrastructure among all departments, truly matching the specialization."
Faced with Su Yuan’s words, which were filled with expectation but without malice, the senior’s face turned dark.
Here it comes! The situation he least wanted to see appeared!
The nobles from the Evil Extermination Department and Sword Dao Department always unknowingly say things that hurt the hearts of us Earth and Wood people.
What does it mean by more impressive cultivation facilities than the Jianmu Divine Needle?
The Earth and Wood Department never had such things, okay!
The cost of refining the Jianmu Divine Needle was only paid off after fifty years, and now they can barely breathe, where on earth would they find treasures comparable to the Jianmu Divine Needle?
As for infrastructure?
"Earth and Wood people, Earth and Wood souls, we are all dream builders" this slogan is indeed true.
But we are building other people’s dreams, not our own, okay.
Many Earth and Wood people worked on construction sites all their lives, yet in the end, they couldn’t even afford a house in the city center.
The current state of the Earth and Wood Department is almost the same as the Earth and Wood people, possessing the largest infrastructure power of the Evil Extermination University, but due to lack of funds, they have to trick freshmen into rebuilding one hundred and fifty-year-old buildings.
You, the Lord Evil Extermination, want to visit the Earth and Wood Department?
Go visit the construction site, will you!
The senior was frantically complaining in his heart, but he still couldn’t say anything out loud.
Gradually, as if realizing something, Su Yuan asked tentatively:
"Could it be that the Earth and Wood Department only has the Jianmu Divine Needle as a noteworthy treasure?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhengyu and the other freshmen immediately became anxious.
Su Yuan’s words are simply a naked insult! How could the Earth and Wood Department have only a mere Jianmu Divine Needle?
Senior, give him a proper response!
However, the senior’s prolonged silence swiftly dampened the fervor of many Earth and Wood freshmen.
An unsettling thought emerged in their minds.
Could what Su Yuan said be true?
However, the critical strike by Su Yuan was not yet over:
"Although I haven’t been in school for long, I’ve already seen quite a few Nascent Soul level Spiritual Treasures from the Evil Extermination Department, probably no less than ten."
"There’s even a Divinity Transformation level treasure called the Celestial Net, which is the central hub of the entire Federation’s Celestial Net system, providing technical support to all of the Federation’s law enforcement agencies..."
"So does the Earth and Wood Department really only have the Jianmu Divine Needle? That’s too poor, isn’t it?"
The Earth and Wood freshmen all fell silent.
Soon after, the senior’s slightly bitter voice arose:
"I originally planned to let everyone know later... that might have made it a bit easier to accept."
"Unfortunately, Su Yuan, this Lord Evil Extermination came, and that’s why I dislike them, they always inadvertently wound the hearts of us Earth and Wood folks."
The Earth and Wood freshmen were all unable to respond.
The honor of Earth and Wood students, the spirit of Earth and Wood people, all vanished at this moment.
If they could switch departments, they just wanted to grab their bags and leave right now, but alas they couldn’t.
"Just a few words and the Dao hearts of hundreds of new servant disciples in the Holy Land of Evil Extermination have been shattered? The host’s ability to stir hearts has improved again."
Damn system, you’ve gone too far! What you just said is the real critical strike on Earth and Wood students!
What do you mean by servant disciple?
We’re clearly the same, at the very least, we should count as outer disciples!
No need for the dog system to remind, Su Yuan also realized he had misspoken.
Feeling a bit awkward, he waved his hand, quickly found the wooden door leading into the Jianmu Divine Needle, opened it and went in, escaping from this embarrassing place.
Little did he know, his action of entering the spiritual wife of Earth and Wood people dealt another heavy blow to those present.
