Just a glance from afar, and many workers couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The young man leading the group, though young, was a complete demon!

A true demon willing to stop at nothing.

In the blink of an eye, these dozens of Demon Sect members had already descended onto the construction site, making the atmosphere unbearably heavy.

Song Mountain was the first to react, looking gravely at the leading youth:

"Su Yuan, what is your purpose in coming against our sect with such fanfare?"

Su Yuan casually glanced at the vigilant workers and said indifferently,

"Hasn't Sect Leader Song already guessed what the Primordial Sect wants to do?"

"It seems that your followers also know the situation, so I won't waste time explaining."

"Sect Leader Song, your Black Labor Sect now has only two choices."

"First: Be crushed under the grand force of the Primordial Sect; all the workers will be sent back to their hometowns, and the Black Labor Sect will be completely destroyed."

"Second: Surrender to the Primordial Sect, accept our control, and you and your workers can continue working normally with even a chance to turn from black to white."

"My time is limited, so I ask Sect Leader Song to make a decision quickly."

After his cold words, the workers of the Black Labor Sect exploded in chaos.

Especially the hot-tempered man with a beard who even picked up a sledgehammer from the site, ready to brawl.

But all the chaos was suppressed by just one look from Song Mountain.

From start to finish, Song Mountain had no intention of fighting the Primordial Sect.

There was no way; though the Primordial Sect seemed like a student-built group, the powers behind these students were terrifyingly powerful.

Not to mention the direct heirs of the three major families of Taihua City were present; if something were to happen to them, wouldn't the three families take their lives?

Moreover, Song Mountain was surprised that the second-generation immortals didn't immediately start shouting for violence.

Instead, they offered a chance for surrender.

I have to admit, Song Mountain was tempted.

They couldn't win a fight, escape wasn't an option, so surrender seemed like the only choice.

And if the Black Labor Sect could attach itself to the Primordial Sect and become a subsidiary sect, the future of his brothers would be more secure.

It seemed like all advantages and no disadvantages.

Song Mountain pondered for a moment, not giving an immediate answer, first turning to look at his brothers.

These were brothers who had followed him for many years, and without needing him to speak, they understood his intent.

Immediately, the workers strongly opposed.

No matter how high Song Mountain's prestige was, he couldn't suppress it!

"Surrender? Why should we workers surrender to a bunch of high school students?"

"I recognize you, aren't you just students from the Top Ten Preparatory Classes? Do you really think your achievements are due to your own efforts? It's all thanks to your families."

"Do you second-generation immortals know anything about construction? Talking about surrender so casually!"

For a time, the workers were filled with indignation!

Born from poor backgrounds and having experienced the hardships of life, the workers clearly harbored resentment toward the privileged second-generation immortals.

This kind of sentiment was all too common.

Even Su Yuan himself was quite a well-known critic of the wealthy.

Just as the students of the Preparatory Class were being scolded to the point of embarrassment, Su Yuan, who had maintained a calm demeanor, suddenly spoke up:

"Who says... we don't understand construction?"

Su Yuan's voice was calm, yet his brief words swept through the scene like a hurricane, silencing the workers' curses.

At the same time, question marks appeared over the heads of the Preparatory Class students, including Chen Nuoyi.

What the heck!

They understand construction?

How come they didn't know?

Su Yuan, stop bragging and dragging us into it!

However, Su Yuan had no intention of stopping, and while the workers were still processing, he continued:

"I know many of you don't believe, but true competence stands the test!"

"I propose a contest between the Primordial Sect and the Black Labor Sect, with each side appointing three people. The contest will consist of three construction projects, the winner decided by structural integrity."

"Two out of three wins. If the Primordial Sect wins, you will obediently accept surrender; if we lose, we will turn and leave without delay!"

Su Yuan's tone was firm and filled with provocation and persuasion.

Before Sect Leader Song of the Black Labor Sect could respond, the bearded man laughed heartily:

"Hahaha! You high schoolers are too arrogant!"

"A contest of construction skills? Old Li here won't lose to anyone! I accept!"

The steady worker heard this and shook his head helplessly but did not object.

Because he thought the same.

Ten years of construction experience is not something a bunch of high schoolers who haven't even stepped into society can compare to.

If they could drive away this group of second-generation immortals through a surefire victory, it would be the best outcome for the Labor Sect.

The other workers shared the same sentiment, readily agreeing to the contest.

They enthusiastically volunteered, wanting to be one of the three contestants to seek justice for the Labor Sect.

Seeing the situation unfold to this point, Song Mountain really had nothing to say.

He sighed deeply and asked Su Yuan:

"Which three categories does Sect Leader Su want to compete in?"

Su Yuan replied without hesitation:

"Foundation laying, steel bar framing..."

After mentioning the two subjects, a smile graced Su Yuan's lips, and he said lightly,

"Let's first compete in these two. As for the third construction project, I don't think there's a need to discuss it."

"Because you absolutely won't get past the first two rounds."

"Of course, the premise is that Sect Leader Song doesn't personally get involved; if a Foundation Establishment Peak expert like you steps in, wouldn't that be unfair?"

Su Yuan's words were even more arrogant than before, making the workers glare with an intensity as if they wanted to devour Su Yuan.

Beads of sweat trickled down Song Mountain's forehead.

To be honest, he didn't understand where Su Yuan's confidence came from or how he intended to win.

But this uncertainty made him incredibly anxious.

After all, Su Yuan was renowned for not playing by the rules.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released.

Song Mountain took a deep breath and heavily nodded:

"Alright, as you say!"

With that, he turned and ordered the two figures in the crowd of workers:

"Lu Da, you're in charge of the foundation project."

"Wu Er, you compete in the steel bar framing."

Lu Da was a brawny, bald worker whose massive physique rivaled Xiong Wei.

Wu Er was the steady worker from earlier.

Upon hearing this, the two stepped forward, their expressions brimming with excitement.

Looking at these two formidable workers, the students of the Preparatory Class couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Even though their Potential Index far exceeded that of an ordinary Peak Qi Cultivation Cultivator, one should let professionals handle specialized tasks.

When crossing fields, even a high Potential Index wouldn't help!

"Su Yuan, what exactly are you thinking?"

Xiong Wei grabbed Su Yuan's arm and couldn't help but whisper,

"Do any of us know construction? You? But just you alone won't be enough!"

Su Yuan didn't answer directly, instead whispering wistfully,

"There's no construction genius in the Preparatory Class..."

"What did you say?"

Immediately, Su Yuan uttered the bewildering second half of his sentence to an even more perplexed Xiong Wei:

"Or perhaps everyone is a construction genius."

At this, Su Yuan gripped Xiong Wei's strong arm, saying solemnly,

"Old Xiong! You are the construction genius! The foundation project is yours, I believe you'll achieve results that satisfy me."

Su Yuan also grabbed Wu Ziying and pulled her over:

"Xiaowu! You're in charge of the steel bar framing project! Show that Wu fellow what you're made of!"

Xiong Wei, Wu Ziying: "???"

But before the two could react, Su Yuan had already pushed them onto the stage.

"Su Yuan, we really don't know how!"

Wu Ziying said anxiously.

Su Yuan smiled and replied,

"No! You do know!"

"The Dragon Base Divine Power is one of the top-notch secret techniques for laying foundations, and the Thousand Sinews Staff Technique is a divine skill for steel bar framing!"

"You've been empowered! Go for it!"
