Zhang Yu's Digestive Power!

Another minor deity said, "Meng Tao eats very quickly, but without the help of the Gluttony Spirit Root, his physical body simply can't digest it all; he'll only eat slower and slower."

Huang Zichou said, "Yes, this stage requires eating and digesting at the same time. Swallowing quickly is useless; the key is who digests quickly."

As they were speaking, Dai Xingzhi suddenly stood up, patted his bulging belly, and asked, "Examiner, where's the restroom?"

As a burst of light illuminated the area, more than a dozen toilet doors in a previously inconspicuous spot on the side of the examination hall were now lit up.

Dai Xingzhi a deep breath, and the next moment his muscles suddenly exerted force, and he shot towards the toilet.

In the first second, he rushed into the toilet.

The next second, a series of loud noises came from inside the toilet.

In the third second, he was already pulling up his pants as he walked out of the toilet.

All of this was accomplished in just three seconds.

Such astonishing speed, powerful digestive system, and digestive ability instantly shocked many students in the audience.

To pull so fast, what kind of powerful physique does that require?

Seeing his 10th place ranking, Dai Xingzhi returned to his examination seat, picked up a large bucket of Synthetic Food, and began to devour it again.

He thought to himself, "Hmph, many students don't seem to realize that appetite reflects a strong person's metabolism and digestive capacity."

"And digestion... is more than just eating food."

Seeing this scene from not far away, Meng Tao was shocked. "Oh no!"

As a long-term user of the Gluttony Spirit Root, Meng Tao is the kind of student who can become stronger even by eating excrement.

In order to become stronger, he spends a lot of time eating every day.

This gave him a digestive system that was better able to handle large amounts of food, allowing him to swallow more food in a short period of time.

However, without the Gluttony Spirit Root, he could no longer digest food as quickly as usual.

Because he relied too much on his Gluttony Spirit Root... he discovered that his digestive system lacked proper training and might be even weaker than that of other students.

Seeing several more students rushing towards the toilet, while he felt no stomach upset, Meng Tao grew increasingly anxious.

Damn it!

"Right now, I don't even feel the urge to go to the toilet."

"How am I supposed to win if things continue like this?"

How can we win?

Seeing himself drop to 5th place in the blink of an eye, and then begin to fall towards 6th, Meng Tao felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him.

At the same time, another person at the scene also sensed this sense of urgency.

Zhang Yu frowned, thinking to himself, "Damn it, rich people have higher Physical Strength... even going to the toilet is faster than poor people? This world is so unfair!"

With the help of the circulation of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, Zhang Yu's stomach and intestines were like a giant millstone, rapidly grinding down the Synthetic Food he swallowed.

Despite feeling nauseous from eating Synthetic Food, he still managed to climb to a respectable 17th place.

However, as more and more food residue accumulated in his stomach, the digestive efficiency of his intestines decreased, and Zhang Yu's eating speed also slowed down.

Not only did it drop to 18th place in the blink of an eye, but it also got closer and closer to the 19th place.

Seeing his ranking hanging by a thread and feeling the ever-increasing pressure, Zhang Yu didn't panic. Instead, he decided to observe how his opponents were handling things.

He turned to look at the 19 people chasing behind him, wanting to see what they were doing.

He discovered that the opponent was none other than number 36, Li Tongyun, whom he had competed against in the previous match.

As Li Tongyun gulped down the Synthetic Food, layers of milky-white, viscous substance began to appear on her body, which then rapidly evaporated under her hot body temperature, leaving behind patches of white marks.

Huang Zichou commented, "Is this a surgery to modify the digestive system? It can use sweat glands to metabolize waste in the body."

Another minor deity said, "Normally, it shouldn't excrete this milky white substance."

"The current state is likely due to an excessively high protein content in the sweat, which has even created tension, making it very sticky."

Huang Zichou said, "Simply put, she can't digest so much protein and is in a state of indigestion."

"Then, in order to eat further, she chose to expel the waste while it was still partially digested, which is what is known as..."

Deng Bingding said, "Diarrhea."

Does having diarrhea count as cheating? All the gods present looked at Deng Bingding, awaiting the examiner's judgment.

After a moment of contemplation, Deng Bingding said, "It can also be considered a form of physical control, so let's proceed according to the ranking."

After finishing a large bucket of Synthetic Food, Li Tongyun looked at her ranking and saw that she had reached number 18, feeling a surge of excitement.

She thought to herself, "Luckily, I had this digestive tract Transformation Surgery when I had the money. I should be able to rank in the top twenty this time."

"If I keep going and focus on eating without worrying about going to the bathroom, I should be able to move up a few places, step by step."

Seeing Li Tongyun having diarrhea while eating, Zhang Yu knew he couldn't learn this trick.

His current position of 19th place also brought him greater challenges and pressure.

But he remained calm and didn't act impulsively. Instead, he continued to observe the other contestants, searching for inspiration and solutions. "Holy crap, what happened to A-Zhen?"

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's wildly swollen belly, Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback at first, then realized. "This guy's Thunderclap True Body has tempered his body to be extremely resilient in order to adapt to high speed."

"With such amazing resilience, she just stuffs food into her stomach like that? Did she give up on rapid digestion?"

Looking at the opponent's 20th place ranking, Zhang Yu felt worried for them, but there was nothing he could do.

Then Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan, who was in number 16, and noticed that the other person's stomach was bulging and bloating, and he was making a series of squeaking noises.

Huang Zichou said in the Orthodox God's network, "Is this Yu Xinghan using the Great Toad Qi? He even cultivated a Cultivation Method specifically for digestion?"

Deng Bingding commented, "After all, he is Golden Core Disciple. Although Yu Xinghan is not outstanding in any aspect, he is very well-rounded with almost no weaknesses. For example, many students don't care about eating, thinking that as long as they eat well, that's enough."

"But there is actually a Body Refining Cultivation Method that can aid digestion. With each meal, you can obtain more nourishment for your body, giving you a slight edge over others."

"Over time, this becomes a terrifying gap."

Zhang Yu couldn't understand what Yu Xinghan was doing, so he simply turned his attention to Yun Jing, who was ranked second, wanting to see how this top high school student from Immortal Capital would do it.

As Yun Jing poured food into the large hole in his chest, his entire body turned bright red, and the surrounding air seemed to distort slightly under the intense heat.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Amidst waves of heat, plumes of black smoke continuously billowed from his mouth and the pores of his skin, leaving Zhang Yu dumbfounded.

Huang Zichou said, "Yun Jing's digestive system is amazing. It's like an Pill Furnace. All the food he swallows is refined by the high temperature inside his stomach, and the impurities are expelled as green smoke."

"He can eat until he's completely exhausted, if he wants."

"As expected, top students like these don't need to go to the bathroom."

Another minor deity standing nearby said, "That's not necessarily true. Look at Ye Lingxiao."

Ye Lingxiao remained in the same state as when he first started eating. As a small giant, he devoured the Synthetic Food in the bucket, showing no change whatsoever, not even his belly had grown any bigger.

The little god said, "The Perfect Bloodline of the Ye Clan allows them to absorb food almost perfectly, leaving very little food residue after each meal."

"It's said they only need to use the toilet once a year."

"The physical effort and time saved alone are enough to make countless people envious."

"Hehe, I wonder how many people want to study this magical aspect of their bloodline every year."

Zhang Yu couldn't understand Yun Jing's smoke-spraying technique, but he had an idea about Ye Lingxiao's motionless and silent eating.

"Although this guy has gotten a size bigger, his food intake has clearly far exceeded the size of his stomach... Is he holding back?"

The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Especially under the immense pressure he was under, he felt his brain working faster and faster, and he was experiencing a burst of inspiration.

"If he can hold it in, so can I."

So Zhang Yu suddenly pushed his stomach and intestines together, trying to compress the volume of food residue and make more room to continue eating.

At first, this seemed to have some effect, giving Zhang Yu a slight boost of morale.

But as he ate more, Zhang Yu soon found that the space he had made was quickly filled up again.

"No... relying solely on the power of the digestive system isn't enough."

"Then..."

Zhang Yu slammed his palm into his stomach with a loud thud. The terrifying force of the palm penetrated his skin and intestines, directly striking the food he had swallowed.

Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, Level 10!

At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly unleashed palm strike after palm strike on his own body, intending to use the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm to aid digestion!

This scene quickly attracted the attention of other students in the surrounding area.

Meng Tao, who had already fallen to ninth place, was first taken aback, then slightly delighted. "There's such a way?"

He quickly followed suit, slapping his stomach one hand after another.

Initially, the force of his palm strikes did indeed crush and compress the food, accelerating his eating speed.

But soon he felt a dull pain in his internal organs and found it difficult to continue.

"No way..." Meng Tao couldn't help but turn to look at Zhang Yu: "Just how strong are this guy's internal organs? Can he even continue like this?"

Zhang Yu, at this moment, had completely devoted himself to training himself.

With complete concentration, every piece of flesh, every Root Bone, and every organ in his body was crystal clear.

With each palm strike he unleashed, his body seemed to be working in concert with countless masters, constantly drawing, shifting, and deflecting the force, transferring most of the palm power into the food within his body.

At this moment, it felt as if countless palm prints had appeared on the walls of his intestines and stomach, relentlessly pounding into the food he had swallowed.

"Crush... compress..."

"Fragment again... compress again..."

One Level 10 martial art after another, plus the physical control he had gained from each breakthrough in the past... Zhang Yu used it all to deal with him.

"Hmph, I haven't made any progress in mana control in a long time."

"But if we're talking about physical control skills, even among these Immortal Capital Master... there probably aren't many who are stronger than me."

At this moment, Zhang Yu, with his powerful physical control, elevated his digestive ability to a level far exceeding his own Physical Strength.
