First in Medicinal Use, Dark Nether Heavy Water

Hearing Huang Zichou's request for confidentiality, Yu Xinghan mustered his courage and asked, "Is there any compensation for this contract?"

Huang Zichou didn't speak, but his cold gaze swept over them, immediately extinguishing all of Yu Xinghan's courage.

Huang Zichou thought to himself, "I can't even get a share of the money, and you expect to get one?"

Just as everyone was signing the contracts, Ye Lingxiao said, "How could I casually reveal what happened during the Foundation Establishment Exam? But I need to discuss this contract signing with my Lineage before I can sign..."

Deng Bingding smirked, glared at him, and said, "Sign it quickly."

Two minutes later, everyone signed the confidentiality agreement, and the exam continued.

However, due to its severe side effects, the dosage of Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule is limited to one capsule per person.

Zhang Yu, however, simply gave up on the Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule.

"Who knows how long this will lower my IQ? What if this piece of junk permanently lowers my IQ?"

So Zhang Yu simply picked up other medicines that strengthened his Dao Heart, or at least those with relatively clear side effects, and drank them one by one.

While taking medicine and cultivating, Zhang Yu felt his Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength all surge dramatically.

And the score that was originally behind Ye Lingxiao began to close steadily as he frantically used drugs.

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao watched as his opponent's score got closer and closer to his own, so he took two more pills of the Imitation Phoenix Function Element within ten minutes.

At this moment, his face was flushed, and his veins were bulging as if they were about to burst. His internal organs were also experiencing waves of cramping pain, as if his stomach and intestines were melting.

But what gave him some comfort was that Zhang Yu had finally stopped.

"Has it finally reached its limit?"

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zhang Yu raise his hand and ask, "Examiner, can I go to the restroom? I'm so full, I need to go to the restroom before I can continue eating."

Yu Xinghan, who was listening from the side, was slightly taken aback. "A feeling of fullness?"

So, to everyone's astonishment, after Zhang Yu finished using the restroom, he took another Imitation Phoenix Function Element, received an injection of Magical Power Meridian Injection, and then picked up one can after another of Dao Heart- type medicines and drank them down.

Ye Lingxiao tried several times to take another dose of the divine medicine to maintain his lead, but feeling his body nearing its limit, he could only grit his teeth and give up, watching helplessly as Zhang Yu's score surpassed his own.

With the one-hour medication period over, the first half of the Second Round Foundation Establishment Exam's sports track came to an end.

Looking at the current points rankings, and seeing Zhang Yu in first place and himself in second, Ye Lingxiao felt a strong sense of resentment.

"It's okay... there's still the second half. With my ability, I can catch up in the second half. But what if I can't catch up in the second half?"

With a loud boom, five round cylinders rose up in the center of the examination hall.

Deng Bingding explained, "This tank is called the Sea Stabilizing Pillars. Although it is only 5 meters tall, the Profound Abyss Heavy Water inside can simulate the pressure from 1 meter to 10,000 meters underwater."

"Now it depends on how much physical stress you, having taken the medication, can withstand while also enduring its side effects."

"Only those with greater resilience, physical strength, and skill can withstand the deepest pressure within this Sea Stabilizing Pillars."

"The second half of the exam will test this all-around physical strength."

"The final scores for today's second round of exams will be based on a combination of the scores from the first and second halves."

"Gentlemen, let's get in the water."

Zhang Yu put on an oxygen mask and jumped into the Sea Stabilizing Pillars, immersing himself completely in the Profound Abyss Heavy Water, landing directly at the bottom of the Sea Stabilizing Pillars.

Even though he was submerged in the water, he felt no pressure whatsoever, as if the water around him was as thin as air.

"Is this the Profound Abyss Heavy Water? It's so light, it's like air!"

But the next moment, as the exam officially began, a number appeared on the top of the Sea Stabilizing Pillars: 1 meter.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt a tightness around his body as the Profound Abyss Heavy Water, which had been light and airy just moments before, pressed down on him, enveloping his body like ordinary water.

Only the oxygen mask remained unaffected by the Profound Abyss Heavy Water, providing Zhang Yu with the necessary oxygen.

Watching the numbers on the Sea Stabilizing Pillars constantly change, gradually decreasing from -1 meter to -10 meters, and then descending towards -100 meters, Zhang Yu gradually felt the increasingly heavy pressure coming from all directions, pressing down on his entire body.

Zhang Yu glanced at his Feather Scroll and wondered, "Has my Physical Strength reached level 9.91 yet?"

"That number 23 (Ye Lingxiao), as Top Immortal Capital Master, probably has Physical Strength of level Level 10. He has likely cultivated more Cultivation Method than me, so his control over his body is probably superior to mine... He has a greater advantage in this match."

"Hopefully, this guy's IQ drops low enough to cause him to make a few major mistakes."

"No... Based on my score in the first half, even if I lose this match to him, it's enough for me to be among the top two overall today and advance to the next round of the Foundation Establishment Exam to compete for the Foundation Establishment Certificate."

"Since that's the case, and I'm certain I'll pass this round of Foundation Establishment Exam anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to become even stronger."

Compared to temporary victories or defeats, Zhang Yu clearly values long-term strength more.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu slowly twisted his body in the Profound Abyss Heavy Water.

He planned to take advantage of the current relatively low level of simulation and, with the help of the still surging medicinal power within his body, continue practicing the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen to further strengthen his Physical Strength.

Just as Zhang Yu began his cultivation, the entire examination hall fell silent. All the examinees were silently conserving their strength and resisting the pressure emanating from the Profound Abyss Heavy Water.

At that moment, the expressions of Deng Bingding, Huang Zichou, and other Orthodox God all shifted slightly.

They all noticed a change on another field...

On the Martial Dao arena.

In front of the enormous arena.

Dai Xingzhi was slowly moving his hands and feet, doing warm-up exercises, while his eyes kept scanning Bai Zhenzhen on the other side of the ring.

At the same time, a row of numbers was displayed above each of their heads.

Dai Xingzhi has 1 million, and Bai Zhenzhen also has 1 million, representing their Medical Insurance Quota for the next match.

This is the Medical Insurance Quota provided by examiners Deng Bingding and others Orthodox God the five candidates in the Martial Dao competition.

In today's Martial Dao Exam, all candidates will receive Medical Insurance Quota of one million provided by the Orthodox God, which will be reset before each arena match.

During the arena battles, every injury suffered by either candidate is instantly healed by the divine array set up on the arena, consuming medical insurance funds in the process.

In other words, as long as the 1 million medical insurance coverage for each fight is not exhausted, both sides in the ring will always be in peak physical condition.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Once either side's Medical Insurance Quota reaches zero, they lose the arena.

If a contestant is knocked down or stunned, although they will be immediately healed, it is still considered a loss, just like being knocked out of the ring.

Each match lasts for 10 minutes. If no winner is determined after 10 minutes, the player with the higher medical insurance balance will win.

At this moment, Dai Xingzhi looked at Bai Zhenzhen, a hint of fighting spirit appearing in his eyes.

As Heavenly Prodigy within the Layer 5 Ring Road of Immortal Capital (level 1.5), Dai Xingzhi has always looked down on any outsiders.

But Bai Zhenzhen in front of me is an exception.

One reason is that the other party's performance in the previous Foundation Establishment Exam was quite remarkable.

On the other hand, in the recent ring battles, the opponent defeated two opponents in succession.

Dai Xingzhi thought to himself, "This woman has defeated all the other examinees except for me and Yun Jing."

"Considering that Yun Jing is certain to take first place... then the outcome of my match with her will determine who comes in second."

Even if he gets second place, Dai Xingzhi doesn't think he can defeat Yun Jing in the next round of the Foundation Establishment Exam and snatch the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

But Dai Xingzhi was certain that if he got second place, the reward for the next round of exams would be even more generous.

"Judging from the fight just now, this woman is very fast, and her fighting style leans towards using high-speed sword techniques."

Dai Xingzhi has always been very confident in his speed.

If I had to explain why... it would be to save money.

Although he was Immortal Capital Master, Dai Xingzhi never had enough money.

Therefore, when choosing a direction for Martial Dao training, compared to those strength-based or external-training-based directions that consume huge amounts of medical expenses, Dai Xingzhi chose a speed-based direction, especially Specialization evasion.

This was both his own choice and Lineage tradition.

When faced with a battle, first hide; if you can't hide, run; if you can't outrun someone, wear them down; avoiding injury is better than not being defeated; if you lose, you can try again; if you're poor, it's hard to recover... This is the philosophy passed down through generations of the Dai Clan.

Therefore, in order to avoid injury in battles, the first Martial Arts Dai Xingzhi learned was footwork.

In order to improve his agility in combat and enhance his dodging skills, he hired private sparring partners who were almost all speed-type Martial Dao masters.

And things like dodging hidden weapons, ambushing, and group attacks are all part of his daily training.

Therefore, in the three recent matches, his Medical Insurance Quota was consistently the lowest.

Even in his battle with Yun Jing, he didn't use up a single penny of his Medical Insurance Quota... because he simply chose to concede defeat.

Dai Xingzhi realized one thing. "If I get injured and even a million dollars can't cure it, then I'll have to go into the next match with that injury."

"So since we're going to lose to Yun Jing anyway... we might as well just concede and avoid affecting the next match."

"If I beat this woman now, I'll be second place."

Accompanied by the call of the Orthodox God, Dai Xingzhi and Bai Zhenzhen walked onto the arena together.

With each step he took, a phantom appeared around Dai Xingzhi, making his figure increasingly ethereal, as if he had transformed into several clones moving forward and backward together.

To Dai Xingzhi's surprise, Bai Zhenzhen sat down on the spot after stepping onto the stage, as if she had no intention of making a move at all.

"This woman..."

Dai Xingzhi moved around Bai Zhenzhen repeatedly, only to find that she didn't even glance at him.

Just then, Bai Zhenzhen said, "You Immortal Capital People are just lucky to have been born Immortal Capital. You can easily get into university with a little effort. If it were us... I doubt you could even get into high school."
