Strongest High School Student

At this moment, in the examination hall, the Wandering God Deng Bingding was in the center, while other minor gods such as Huang Zichou were wandering around the examination hall, monitoring the condition of each candidate and maintaining the discipline of the examination hall.

In addition to the bar chart data displayed on the Light Screen in front of them, they also monitored the mana detection data of each contestant.

Through detection patches placed on various parts of the contestants' bodies, they can monitor the flow of magical energy throughout the students' bodies at all times, easily discerning the students' control over their Movement Method and whether they are engaging in any cheating.

However... although the Orthodox God appeared expressionless and didn't say a word, their minds were actually racing with thoughts, and they were constantly distracted by various tasks.

After all, for the Eight Divine Departments, being distracted by overtime work and remote work are commonplace, as natural as breathing.

Besides multitasking in work, social interaction is also an essential part of being a god.

After all, compared to ordinary people who need things like cell phones and the internet to stay connected, as the Eight Divine Departments, their minds are constantly connected to the internet, so there are no excuses like not being able to contact them, communication being inconvenient, or just seeing a message.

Just like right now, while monitoring the examination room, the thoughts of the gods present are also being exchanged online, constantly communicating about the situation in the examination room.

Deng Bingding said, "... This is the first Foundation Establishment Exam on the first Kunxu First Layer after the reform of the Foundation Establishment Exam. Everyone, stand firm at your posts and fulfill your responsibilities. After the exam, I will personally recommend you for commendation."

Huang Zichou was the first to reply, "Lord Deng, you are right. We are all at ease knowing that you will continue to take charge this time."

While the gods were communicating together on site, Deng Bingding was also receiving private messages from various minor gods.

"Sigh, more Goodwill Talisman. These are Orthodox God..."

However, upon seeing that Huang Zichou's amount was actually 20,000, Deng Bingding couldn't help but glance at him. When he realized that Huang Zichou was also looking at him, Deng Bingding smiled and nodded.

"Is Lord Deng smiling at me?" Huang Zichou thought to himself with delight, "So, the amount of the Goodwill Talisman was wrong last time after all?"

Huang Zichou secretly noted the amount down in his mind, thinking, "For those of us who are friends through thick and thin, money is the most important thing."

"The saying goes, 'Send money first, then talk business.' Although I haven't decided what I want yet, I can send the money first..."

At the same time, a minor deity was heard say, "Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao are indeed far ahead of the competition."

"Judging from the magic power monitoring data, the magic power within the two of them is surging out like Yangtze River river. Their control and explosive power are indeed the strongest present."

Then God said, "The investment in these two people is enough to support all the high school students in some high schools."

"In terms of strength... they can no longer be regarded as ordinary Qi Refining Period cultivators. It's just unknown who among these two is the true Strongest High School Student on the Kunxu First Layer in this fierce battle."

In the examination room.

With Yun Jing felt his Movement Method, continuously flowing from his arm into the detection patch in his palm.

But looking at Ye Lingxiao on the Light Screen, who was on par with himself, Yun Jing shouted in his heart, "Magic power! Get up now!"

Under his frenzied exploitation, the magical power within his body surged like a flood against his meridians, almost disregarding the potential damage to his body, recklessly impacting and impacting again!

This is because every meridian in Yun Jing's body had been cut out and, according to three hundred different project plans, was repeatedly trained and tempered by dozens of university graduates, enabling it to withstand the extreme power operation of the Qi Refining Period for a long time.

It can be said that every meridian in his body represents months of hard work by a college graduate.

The total workload of this body's meridians amounts to tens of thousands of man-days, equivalent to twenty or thirty years of Qi Refining Period cultivation for an ordinary person.

Besides the meridians, Yun Jing's extensive cultivation was also divided into numerous projects, which were completed by outstanding university graduates under the precise planning of the Lineage.

"We've warmed up enough."

As Yun Jing felt the increasingly surging magical power within his body, he silently shouted, "Second Dantian, open for me!"

In addition to his lower dantian, a Qi Sea suddenly activated in his chest, causing the flow of magical power to double instantly, rushing out like roaring Giant Dragon.

On the Light Screen, the pillar representing Yun Jing suddenly swelled, instantly widening the gap between it and everyone else, firmly occupying the first place.

Seeing this, Ye Lingxiao remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

He thought to himself, "This is really troublesome. It's not the finals, shouldn't I be holding back a bit?"

Ye Lingxiao knew that, theoretically speaking, as long as he was in second place, he could pass the exam. There was no need for him to put in any extra effort or reveal his strength to try and win first place.

but...

"First place."

For Ye Lingxiao, who has always gotten perfect scores or ranked first in exams since childhood... getting first place is like eating and drinking; it has become a habit.

In order to inherit the Perfect Bloodline of the Immortal Capital Ye Clan clan, he was born without a mother and was placed in the Immortal Essence Womb from the embryonic stage, receiving the conditioning of Immortal Dao.

When he first opened his eyes, his meridians were already twice as wide as those of an average person, and now they are more than ten times the average of a high school student.

At the same time, his nervous system is a hundred times more complex than that of an ordinary person, and his entire nervous system is naturally able to mobilize magical power.

He learned magical skills that other students had to work hard to master after entering high school.

All the Cultivation Method are easy to learn and master, and millions are spent every month to buy the right to use Cultivation Method.

Cultivating Qi Refining Period was never difficult for him.

Many people say that he is no longer a species like ordinary people; he is the true Immortal Dao being.

Ye Lingxiao didn't take it seriously.

But there's one thing he's gotten used to.

That means first place belongs to him, and it will always belong to him.

Million-level expert martial arts, Thunderbolt Heavenly Gang Qi - Level 10 boost!

With its usage rights priced at over a million, and touted as a martial art approaching Military Grade, the Thunderbolt Heavenly Gang Qi, once activated, is accompanied by a thunderous roar.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao was like a thunder god, his whole body radiating lightning, every bit of his magic power turning into thunder.

However, this Thunder Magical Power, under his control, was as swift as an extension of his arm. Not only did it not damage the environment or the testing equipment, but it shot out like bolts of lightning, precisely passing through his arm and palm, and finally being blasted into the testing patch. At the same time, on the Light Screen, the pillar representing Ye Lingxiao, which had been gradually shrinking under Yun Jing's influence, instantly enlarged again, relentlessly chasing after the first position.

"Hmph." Yun Jing looked at the changes in the bar chart and sneered inwardly, "Want to catch up? Then let's see who is the Strongest High School Student in Kunxu right now."

As the intense competition between the two students caused a stir, the students behind them also unleashed their full magical power to compete for the remaining rankings, making the entire exam even more intense.

Looking at the rankings on the Light Screen, and then at the dozen or so contestants closely following Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, Huang Zichou analyzed, "The students behind them are all very close in their pursuit."

Another god said, "After all, they are all students from the Immortal Capital, the top high school students in the Kunxu First Layer. Even those ranked outside the top 10 have more than 90 units of magical power."

While the young prodigies were discussing, Deng Bingding turned his attention to the scores of No. 55, No. 56, and No. 31, who were Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yu Xinghan from Songyang.

Since the last Dao Heart Test, Deng Bingding had been paying attention to these three students from Songyang, and afterwards he had also looked at their information.

As she observed the three men's performance, information about them flashed through her mind.

"Yu Xinghan, number 31, is Golden Core Disciple. Although his mana has not yet reached 90 and cannot keep up with the level of the top dozen or so, his mana control is not bad. With his burst of power at the moment, he can be ranked 17th."

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

At this moment, Yu Xinghan's Third Eye in his mind was fully open, constantly helping him to urge the magic power in his body, but no matter how he tried to exert his power, he found that he could only maintain the position of 17th.

"The top 16 teams are also accelerating, it's too difficult to catch up, and they're only in 16th place..."

Thinking of how he had cultivated his magical power control through repeated practice of palm and fist techniques under the personal guidance of Spark True Person, and how he could only rank 17th despite his best efforts, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"As expected, I'll have to wait until next time to get the Foundation Establishment Certificate."

On the other side, Deng Bingding's gaze swept towards Bai Zhenzhen.

"Bai Zhenzhen, number 56, is a genius from a poor family. After receiving investment, she soared to great heights."

"And the investor's name, according to what I learned from some local savvy people in Songyang... is Zhang Pianpian."

"With the same investor as Zhang Yu, are these two poor people also implicated?"

Deng Bingding dared not think too much about it, and told himself to pretend he knew nothing and treat the two of them as ordinary candidates.

Coming to his senses, Deng Bingding looked at the magic power detection data in Bai Zhenzhen's body and seemed to be able to see the magic power in her body surging outward like wave after wave, bursting out with a surging flow in her meridians.

Expert Level Breathing Technique – Surging Waves Nine Revolutions, Level 10 of Propulsion!

This Expert Level Breathing Technique emphasizes continuous generation; after nine cycles of magical power, it can draw upon even more magical power. It is a Cultivation Method where the longer Breath Circulation Breath Circulation performed, the stronger the effect becomes.

After Bai Zhenzhen's True Spirit Root deduction, the Level 10 effect of the Surging Waves Nine Revolutions has an additional layer: during the nine revolutions of magical power, the speed of the magical power's circulation increases with each revolution, becoming more and more ferocious, like a raging storm.

With the help of this "Surging Waves Nine Revolutions" technique and its deductive effects, Bai Zhenzhen managed to stand in 19th place.

But now, after the magic power has undergone nine cycles, its speed has subtly exceeded the limits that Bai Zhenzhen can control. She feels like a small boat in a raging storm, which could be capsized at any moment by the rampaging magic power.

The more dangerous it was, the clearer Bai Zhenzhen's mind became and the deeper her grasp of the power of magic became under the operation of the Frost Soul Ice Heart Art.

At this moment, she was completely focused, with almost no attention on the outside world, and was fully engaged in operating the Surging Waves Nine Revolutions, which was teetering on the edge of being out of control.

Looking at the monitoring data transmitted from Bai Zhenzhen, Deng Bingding thought to himself, "If her magic goes berserk, she'll be seriously injured if she loses control. She's also an adventurous student."

She was already used to it.

After all, it would be a miracle if the students of Kunxu didn't borrow money, get injured, or get sick...

Which top-performing student didn't get to where they are today through countless adventures?

Finally, Deng Bingding looked at Zhang Yu.

"21st place?" Deng Bingding thought to himself, "They didn't even make the top 20?"

Zhang Yu had risked everything to change his magical power, was equally surprised that he hadn't even made it into the top 20.

Although today's exam eliminated contestants ranked 20th or lower overall, ranking 20th or lower in the Magical Power Exam does not necessarily mean elimination.

However, ranking below 20th is clearly still a very unfavorable result.

"They're really strong, those high school students from Immortal Capital..."

Zhang Yu still remembers that after he cultivated the Heavenly Cycle Qi Gathering Method to Level 10, his control over his magical power was already extremely strong.

After he cultivated the Limitless Cloud Hand technique to Level 10, he believed that his control over his magical power was comparable to that of a high school senior.

But at this moment, looking at his ranking, Zhang Yu suddenly realized something.

His control over magic... hasn't improved for far too long.

"After all, I've focused most of my energy on Body Tempering these past few months."

"Indeed, my control over magic is at the level of a senior in high school."

"But merely having magic control at the senior high school level, without a rapid burst of power, is insufficient to get into the top 20 in this exam..."

Pressure and crisis loomed over him, and Zhang Yu felt as if a Remnant Ox was roaring to the sky in his mind, radiating boundless fighting spirit.

"Heh heh... pressure and desperation?"

"Not enough have come."
