The Evil God Reveals Secrets

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard the Evil God speak in his mind.

This Evil God was previously strongly against me giving up the Heavenly Genius Class and staying in Songyang City, so why did he suddenly change his mind?

Seemingly sensing Zhang Yu's confusion, the Evil God continued in Zhang Yu's mind, "After Zhang Pianpian mentioned it, I've also remembered some things."

"I once heard the Evil God King from the Underground Third Layer say that a battle had taken place in the Kunxu Upper Level, which involved the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam."

The Evil God still remembered that he had been reduced to working on the Third Layer of Kunxu.

As a result, with just a telephone and a phone book, he became the top seller of the month, even fooling several PhD students. He not only received a reward from the Evil God King, but also attended the Evil God King's banquet, where he heard many secrets.

The Evil God thought to himself, "Too bad, next month that Evil God King swindled me out of my sales skills and bonus, and then sold those skills to a bunch of college dropouts who had fled to the Underground Third Layer and couldn't find jobs. He then hired these college students to work, and finally kicked me out, leaving me to find a new job all over again..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and at this moment, the Evil God continued, "I remember once hearing the Evil God King lament that in order to increase the mobility of the Lower Level of Kunxu, the Immortal Venerable promoted a series of qualification examination quota reforms, which included changes to the quota for Foundation Establishment Certificate."

"But we also have to consider the disciples, descendants, Bloodline Descendants of the various immortals, balance the number of disciples for the Ten Great Sects, and maintain a balance of power among different factions within the Heavenly Court. The interests involved are intricate and complex, and countless struggles have unfolded."

"In the end, some immortals went bankrupt gambling, some died in their cave abode due to demonic possession, and some even escaped to unknown areas more than ten levels underground in Kunxu."

"But it is precisely because the struggle was so intense that the Foundation Establishment Certificate Exam, which was finally established, was full of authority, representing the ultimate common will of the Heavenly Court composed of the Ten Great Sects and the immortals of the Ten Great Sects."

"So you don't need to worry about the safety of your participation in this exam. Just like Zhang Pianpian said, the top forces on the Layer 1 wouldn't dare to violate the exam rules or cheat. At most, they would just try to cover up the news outside the exam hall and do their best to improve the strength of their own students."

Sensing that Zhang Yu was considering his words, the Evil God quickly added, "And if you obtain this Foundation Establishment Certificate before entering university... you'll have a huge advantage, because this exam set by the Heavenly Court is highly authoritative; it's practically a handpicked selection of the Strongest High School Student at the Layer 1."

"With this certificate, the treatment you receive at university, the courses you take, and the resources you have will all be vastly different."

"Especially since you can directly enter the Foundation Establishment Class at the university, study Foundation Establishment courses directly, and enjoy Foundation Establishment level resource support, this will give you a huge advantage in the early stages of university, far greater than the advantage of the Heavenly Genius Class."

Zhang Yu understands the meaning of "Evil God" even better than the difference between Key High School and a regular high school, right?

"Secondly, neither Bai Zhenzhen nor Zhang Pianpian understand how terrifying your talent has become after my guidance."

"Based on my observations over this period, as you master more and more Cultivation Method, your progress will only accelerate. I firmly believe that you will become the Strongest High School Student on the Kunxu First Layer, and passing this Foundation Establishment Certificate exam will be a piece of cake."

"In comparison, with your terrifying talent, competing for the Foundation Establishment Certificate with high school students who have been on the Immortal Dao for no more than three years might actually be easier than competing for the Foundation Establishment Certificate with so many Qi Refining Peak guys in college..."

The Evil God sighed, "If I weren't broke right now, I would definitely bet everything on you."

Of course, the Evil God also had some things she didn't say aloud, things she kept to herself for her true purpose.

That is, once Zhang Pianpian leaves, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will remain in Songyang City facing increasingly pressured environments. Zhang Yu will inevitably continue to pursue greater strength, greater talent, and greater potential.

Under these circumstances, the Evil God judged that Zhang Yu would eventually follow her guidance to hunt the Evil God in order to enhance his own potential.

Besides that, there's the issue of True Spirit Root.

"You're not even willing to betray your best high school friend, yet you expect to climb the Kunxu? What a saint! If it weren't for your incredible potential, I wouldn't even bother with you."

The Evil God knew that Zhang Yu was unwilling to kill and seize the root, and that even if he went to the Heavenly Genius Class alone, he would not have the assistance of True Spirit Root. Instead, he stayed to take the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam, so that he could continue to use this True Spirit Root to cultivate.

After considering all these factors, the Evil God finally agreed to let Zhang Yu stay and take the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

The Evil God's words did indeed remind Zhang Yu of something.

"My greatest advantage is my ability to quickly learn various Cultivation Method and raise them to Level 10."

"This is an advantage that other high school students can hardly match in just three years."

"However, once you get to university, those university students who have been Qi Refining for longer than me and have long been hovering at the Qi Refining Peak will inevitably have mastered many different Cultivation Method."

"After all, for college students whose Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength have all reached the upper limit of Qi Refining, one way to further differentiate their strength... should be the number and strength of their Cultivation Method."

"By then, my advantages over these college students... won't be as significant as they are now when I'm comparing myself to high school students."

With this in mind, Zhang Yu was increasingly inclined to stay and take the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam.

Zhang Pianpian, who had been observing Zhang Yu, remarked with a sigh, "It seems you've decided to stay with Bai Zhenzhen?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Yu finally nodded, a strange feeling rising within him. It was as if... choosing not to go with Zhang Pianpian and staying with Bai Zhenzhen instead made him feel like he was letting Zhang Pianpian down.

It's as if he's telling Zhang Pianpian: Sister, A-Zhen and I are the best. If I had to choose one of you to go with, I would choose A-Zhen.

And Zhang Pianpian has been protecting them for the past four months...

This unusual feeling caused Zhang Yu to feel a pang of shame under Zhang Pianpian's gaze.

Bai Zhenzhen, standing to the side, looked at Zhang Yu, and her heart gradually stirred, as if a surge of heat was flowing through her body.

"Yu Zi really going to stay and help me take the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam?"

Thinking of this, the loneliness I felt before, the darkness and cold of being deep in the glacier, seemed to vanish completely, replaced by a feeling of peace.

Along with this feeling of peace and excitement, even the True Spirit Root in his stomach trembled slightly.

"What's with this lousy Spirit Root? Is it so attached to Yu Zi's body? So eager to go inside?"

But then Bai Zhenzhen thought about it again and realized that the feedback from the True Spirit Root might be her own thoughts, a feeling that she wanted to be good to Zhang Yu after seeing Zhang Yu stay and take the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam with her.

The best way to deal with Zhang Yu is to insert the True Spirit Root into his body, since it is the most valuable thing Bai Zhenzhen has.

In Kunxu, this act of lending one's most valuable possessions is rarely done even by close relatives; it is usually only done with a signed contract, including but not limited to lending one's brain, heart, kidneys, etc.

Bai Zhenzhen realized her own thoughts and her gaze towards Zhang Yu changed. She thought to herself, "A-Yu, from now on, you'll always be number one in my friendship ranking, the best friend in the world to me, the kind of friend I'll call 'Dad' every day."

Zhang Pianpian looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Since you've decided to stay, then stay. The path of Immortal Dao is ultimately your own choice, and you walk it step by step."

"But since you've decided to stay, don't regret it."

"From now on, you must make the most of every minute, every second, and every penny to cultivate yourselves."

"The Foundation Establishment Certificate Exam on the Kunxu First Layer is divided into three rounds."

"It's mid-April now. After registration in mid-June, the first round of exams will be in August. The exams will test your comprehensive abilities and will be the easiest of the three rounds, but you'll still need to be at least at the senior high school level to have a chance of passing."

"The second round is the special talent exam in October. Students will be assessed separately in four areas: Dao Heart, magical power, physical fitness, Martial Arts. At this point, you need to reach the level of the top student in the city's senior high school competition to have a chance to pass."

"The third round is the final selection exam in early January next year. The remaining students will compete against each other to determine the strongest in each of the four tracks: Dao Heart, Magic Power, Physical Education, and Martial Arts, and will be awarded Foundation Establishment Certificate..."

Listening to the explanations of the three rounds of exams, Zhang Yu gradually sketched out the framework of the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam in his mind. "This competition is not ultimately about the students' overall qualities; the key selection criteria are their strengths in four areas: Dao Heart, Mana Power, Physical Fitness, and Martial Arts."

"Indeed, since they are high school students, they can't possibly be as well-rounded as college students who have honed their skills for a long time during the Qi Refining Period. Therefore, the students this exam aims to select are... four genius students with exceptional talents in four different areas."

"The key to passing the exam lies in how strong your strengths are."

Zhang Yu then asked curiously, "Where is the exam held?"

Zhang Pianpian said, "Both registration and the exam will be held in Immortal Capital."

Immortal Capital City is the most prosperous and largest mega-city on the Kunxu First Layer, far surpassing Songyang City in scale.

Zhang Yu remembered that Immortal Capital was about 1,500 kilometers away from Songyang.

Thinking that the entire exam was divided into three rounds, spanned half a year, and was held in Immortal Capital, thousands of miles away, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Zhenzhen: "This exam is really time-consuming; I'm afraid I'll need to take a lot of leave. And then there's the cost of transportation, accommodation, and food, right? I read online that prices in Immortal Capital are very high."

Zhang Pianpian nodded and said, "The exam location and time are themselves a selection criterion."

"It seems you haven't obtained your Intercity Pass yet, right? To leave the city, especially to Immortal Capital City, you must apply for an Intercity Pass, which requires proof of education, income, and proof of renting or owning a place..."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Upon hearing about the arrangements for the exam and the requirements for the Intercity Pass, he felt as if he had heard something important:

If you're a poor person who doesn't have any spare money or time, or can't even afford to rent a place, then don't even think about taking this exam. An An stay in your hometown and work.
