Breeding Tax and Bonds

Just as Mo Shang Jin was reminding everyone, he and Zhang Yu had already activated the Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power, taking their companions into the air to avoid too much contact with the Demon Descendant. Following the navigation that appeared in their Eye Remains, they headed towards the depths of the Heavenly Demon University.

Even while flying in mid-air, it was still impossible to avoid the figures of Demon Descendant flashing past all around.

The skyscrapers of Heavenly Demon University were so densely packed that they resembled an impenetrable jungle, with only tiny gaps between them for people to pass through.

Meanwhile, various strange-looking Insect Demon, Rat Demon, and other small Demon Descendant occupy many gaps, making this jungle increasingly crowded.

Just then, a cloud of Blood Mist exploded not far away. Zhang Yu looked up and saw that the body of a Ox Demon had been torn apart by dozens of Demon Race, who then carried it away to different places.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Murder in the street?"

Mo Shang Jin said, "Not human, just an animal."

He explained, "These Demon Descendant in the Outer Zone of Heavenly Demon University are not considered human; they are merely animals that the university allows to roam freely outside."

"Animal killing each other, do you think we need to interfere?"

"The Heavenly Demon University is too lazy to conduct continuous management and registration of these animals; they only maintain control over the general direction."

"If the numbers are too low, increase the breeding quota."

"If the quantity is too large, reduce the amount of food provided."

"This is their laboratory, breeding farm, material production site, and reserve of demonic materials..."

As they spoke, Zhang Yu and his group had already crossed the Outer Zone of Heavenly Demon University and arrived at the Inner Zone.

To be honest... Zhang Yu Demon Descendant that apart from being a bit quieter and more disciplined, the environment here didn't seem much different from the outside world.

At the boundary between the inner and outer layers, streams of divine Divine Power swept back and forth, crushing any stray outer Demon Descendant into dust.

But Zhang Yu quickly frowned, because he discovered that many of the students here were pregnant.

Mo Shang Jin explained, "This is the Reproduction Tax of Heavenly Demon University. Every student at Heavenly Demon University has a certain breeding quota each year, which they need to pay to the school for their Bloodline Descendants."

"I'm not too clear on the specific details, but I've heard that, apart from the Nascent Soul stage, the higher the cultivation level, the more descendants need to be handed over. Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch might need to have dozens of offspring a year."

"However, besides paying the Reproduction Tax to offspring, it's also acceptable to give money directly."

Zhang Yu gasped and asked, "What about the male Demon Descendant?"

Mo Shang Jin casually replied, "The Heavenly Demon University naturally overcame these technical challenges long ago..."

As they spoke, the group arrived outside a huge arena.

Even before getting close, Zhang Yu could feel the clamor of voices inside, and from the outside, it looked like a flood of Demon Descendant students were constantly pushing their way into the venue.

"So many people?" Zhang Yu Outer Dao, "Do students from Heavenly Demon University really value this Civil Engineering Competition final?"

Mo Shang Jin seemed somewhat surprised as well. "Although the Civil Engineering Department of Heavenly Demon University has always been a strong point, there shouldn't be that many people paying attention to it in the finals."

"Perhaps something happened that we are unaware of."

Just as Zhang Yu and his group were heading to the competition venue.

Inside an underground space of Heavenly Demon University.

Xiang Shan walked step by step along the tunnel in front of him, heading forward.

Before him stood rows of majestic pillars, like towering giants supporting the foundation of Sky Holding Heavenly Demon University.

Xiang Shan knew that the density of Demon Descendant and buildings at Heavenly Demon University was too high, so a large number of underground structures had always been needed to support the earth.

These imposing pillars before us are among the important supports for the Lower Level of the Heavenly Demon University.

These pillars were built by countless ancestors of the Elephant Demon Clan.

After a lifetime of struggle and accumulating massive debts, they ultimately sacrificed their hard-won physical bodies, which, even in death, became the foundation, supporting the entire Heavenly Demon University day after day, forever.

"The entire Heavenly Demon University was supported by us."

Looking at the pillars before him, feeling the lingering resentment and fierce fighting spirit within each one, Xiang Shan murmured, "Now, it's our turn to break through the earth and stand on the ground of Heavenly Demon University."

As Xiang Shan turned his head, he saw Elephant Demon of all sizes appearing in his Eye Remains.

His brother is in there.

As the older brother of a local demon, he evaded the Reproduction Tax during his three years of high school in order to study. As a result, he was reported in his senior year of high school, caught, and fined ten times the amount.

In the short span of his senior year of high school, his older brother had 30 children in order to pay the fine for having children, which ultimately led to a severe decline in his Qi and Blood and prevented him from getting into university.

Then Xiang Shan looked at his younger brother in elementary school, his son in junior high, and his younger sister in high school... Seeing their protruding bellies, he became even more determined.

"Reproduction Tax..."

With its trunk turned upside down, Xiang Shan's eyes blazed with boundless fighting spirit.

And in the Eye Remains, even more figures emerged.

Those were the Bloodline Descendants of countless Elephant Demon Clan, their figures flashing before him like stars in the sky.

"Ten thousand?"

"One hundred thousand?"

"Or more?"

Xiang Shan murmured, "Over the years, our clan of Elephant Demon has continuously paid tribute to our Bloodline Descendants and borne the Reproduction Tax. How many of our Bloodline Descendants have been sent to schools?"

"How many Spirit Coin are they worth combined?!"

"We've lost so much money!"

Xiang Shan's tusks bulged, his Qi and Blood surged, and his body seemed to grow larger. "It's time to change all this."

"I'm going to lead you all out of the construction site and out of the Civil Engineering Department!"

"I want to make it so that race and profession can no longer limit us!"

All around, illusory figures rushed towards Xiang Shan's body. These Demon Descendant Soul Cultivator merged into his Dharma Skeleton, as if they had become a part of his body.

At the same time, Xiang Shan felt the power of his Dharma Skeleton continuously increasing, and a large amount of resources from the Spirit Realm Calculation Pool were mobilized.

The next moment, he took a thud and walked outside.

Thump.

As Xiang Shan slammed into the arena, a deafening roar erupted from the stands.

Rat Demon, Insect Demon, Cat Demon, Plant Spirit... all sorts of low-status Demon Descendant at the Heavenly Demon University were now cheering excitedly from the stands for Xiang Shan.

The entire arena and the whole land seemed to tremble violently with the howls of the demon horde.

An intense, fishy stench rose into the air, as if Yao Qi was being poured into the entire sky.

Zhang Yu even saw Demon Descendant in the stands getting so excited that they defecated and urinated, and even Dual Cultivation and procreation.

Standing to the side, Shi Huaiyu asked in confusion, "What's going on with these Demon Descendant? Why are they so excited about a match?"

As Mo Shang Jin flipped through the information in the Eye Remains, he said, "Hmm... we might have gotten caught up in the internal strife at Heavenly Demon University."

"It seems someone at Heavenly Demon University is using this Civil Engineering Department competition to carry out reforms, hoping to send Xiang Shan to the university team to participate in the future Top Ten League, thereby changing the problem of racial and professional rigidity within Heavenly Demon University."

"Many of the Demon Descendant in the stands might also be paid to stir up trouble."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. "Then it seems that Xiang Shan might be stronger than we previously anticipated?"

Mo Shang Jin nodded, and said solemnly, "It's fortunate that you guys helped me drag this out until this match. If I had bought back earlier, the cost would have been too high, and if I were missing any of my Dharma Skeleton, I probably would have lost today."

After thinking for a moment, Mo Shang Jin instructed, "I'll confront him head-on in a bit. You support him from the side, try to disrupt his teammates, and distract Xiang Shan."

Looking at the Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton on Mo Shang Jin's body, Zhang Yu nodded to indicate his understanding.

At the same time, the figure of the True Lord Tianxiang appeared in the Eye Remains Xiang Shan on the other side.

This True Lord Tianxiang was none other than the judge who supported Zhang Yu in obtaining his Military Certificate during the Military Certificate Exam at the Civil Engineering Department of Ten Thousand Laws University, and a well-known expert and professor in the Civil Engineering World.

The True Lord Tianxiang said, "It's a pity. I never thought that Zhang Yu, who obtained the Military Certificate back then, would become your formidable rival today."

Xiang Shan said calmly, "It's alright, teacher."

"How can we win over the masses and change the situation at Heavenly Demon University without defeating truly powerful enemies and demonstrating our true strength and wealth?"

"Defeating Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin is my best achievement and the best resource I have to break through the Civil Engineering and join the school team."

As they spoke, Xiang Shan, along with his many teammates, walked up to the group from Ten Thousand Laws University.

Looking at Zhang Yu and Mo Shang Jin before him, Xiang Shan's long nose drooped slightly, and his small eyes looked calm and serene.

"Zhang Yu, Mo Shang Jin," Xiang Shan said, looking at the two of them, "You two must have put in countless hours of effort and spent countless Spirit Coin to get to this point."

"Even without me, you would have truly deserved the title of champion in this year's Civil Engineering Competition."

"But I'm sorry, I absolutely must win this final match."

Xiang Shan exhaled, and thick white vapor carrying his body heat surged out, seemingly raising the surrounding temperature.

Then Xiang Shan continued, "Once the battle begins, I will go all out."

"If you don't want to suffer heavy losses, put in all your strength, put up a desperate fight, and then surrender as soon as possible."

After speaking, Xiang Shan closed his eyes, seemingly no longer paying attention to any outside information, and patiently waiting for the competition to begin.

As both teams entered the field, the match officially began.

Mo Shang Jin soared into the sky, unleashing the Seven Wonders Magic Skeleton. The Heaven Kunlun Mountain Moving Divine Power swept across the entire arena, accompanied by a deafening roar that flipped the entire arena over.

Whether it was the competitors, the mud and sand, the building materials, or the earth itself... everything seemed to be falling into an abyss, hurtling rapidly into the sky.

Just then, amidst this dizzying chaos, a figure tore through the air and suddenly appeared in front of Mo Shang Jin, then threw a punch.

The entire arena seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Get down."

The next moment, with Xiang Shan's roar, as his fist was thrown out, the entire flipped arena seemed to be flipped back up, and sand, materials, and earth... crashed down from mid-air with a loud bang.
