The Second Round of the Foundation-Building Exam Ends

As the simulation deepened, Ye Lingxiao layered and activated various Body Protection Technique, causing Zhang Yu's brows to twitch as he watched. He recognized the Titanium Body Refinement Essential Skill among them, Cultivation Method he had seen during the Foundation Establishment Exam.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao's depth had reached -2581 meters, and his whole body appeared to be shining with golden light, exuding a metallic luster, like a statue standing in the depths of the sea.

Clearly, this depth of -2581 meters still did not reach Ye Lingxiao's limit.

Just as everyone was shocked by Ye Lingxiao's terrifying strength and thought he should continue, Huang Zichou said, "Alright, number 23, your total score is already in first place, you don't need to continue."

Ye Lingxiao nodded and chose to cancel the exam.

Thus, the top two finishers in the Physical Track of the Second Round Foundation Establishment Exam have been determined: Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

The two of them will also participate in the final round of the Foundation Establishment Exam next January to compete for the Foundation Establishment Certificate.

"What a monster." Yu Xinghan thought to himself as he watched Ye Lingxiao emerge from the Sea Stabilizing Pillars, "This guy has definitely won the Foundation Establishment Certificate this year."

"But that means I'll have to take the Foundation Establishment Exam in the same year as Zhang Yu next year."

Although Zhang Yu's strength is currently far inferior to Ye Lingxiao's, his rate of progress still makes Yu Xinghan feel extremely envious, or even jealous.

"He only surpassed me by a tiny bit during the last Foundation Establishment Exam."

"They've already completely surpassed me in this Second Round Foundation Establishment Exam."

Upon realizing this, Yu Xinghan's expression also turned somewhat grim. "Why has Zhang Yu improved so quickly? It's simply unbelievable."

"Especially since this kid is clearly so poor, we can't just let this go..."

Yu Xinghan was aware of Zhang Yu's poverty, especially when they worked overtime together at Red Pagoda every week. He could feel the poverty emanating from Zhang Yu, which was exactly like his own past.

"If this kid is rich, there might not be much I can do."

"But this kid is so poor anyway..."

Yu Xinghan had already made up his mind; he would go back and have a talk with his senior sister Li Xuelian.

He thought to himself, "I'll go back and ask my senior sister for the money."

"Then add more classes!"

"We must find Zhang Yu and give him intensive extra lessons, preferably practicing with him every day. We absolutely must figure out what kind of Immortal Dao techniques he has."

"Also... next year I must reach an agreement with him to be assigned to different tracks in the Foundation Establishment Exam, so that I will have a chance to snag the Foundation Establishment Certificate."

"Speaking of which..." Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "If Zhang Yu and I both pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam next year, then we could both be in the top ten."

Recalling what Spark True Person had said about the top ten, Yu Xinghan thought to himself, "Once we reach the Second Layer, our competitors will be those masters above us."

"If we could have a familiar friend like Zhang Yu, we might be able to look out for each other."

Spark True Person Yu Xinghan remembered that when Spark True Person first entered the Ten Thousand Laws University of the top ten schools, he was once taught a lesson by the Upper Level master.

Later, Spark True Person was not convinced and challenged the Upper Level master again, only to be taught a lesson once more.

After repeated defeats and relentless attempts, challenging those Upper Level gentlemen for a full ten years of university life, finally... Spark True Person was convinced.

Through this story, Spark True Person wants to tell Yu Xinghan that there are some people you can't catch up with when you're born, and you'll never catch up with them in this lifetime.

Another important thing is having friends who can lend you money and share the burden.

Yu Xinghan wholeheartedly agreed with this.

On the other side, Zhang Yu felt Yu Xinghan's gaze and thought to himself, "Why is this guy staring at me like that?"

Thinking back to how his opponent had asked him to spar after the last Physical Competition, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Could this guy be planning to ask me for extra lessons and train with him when we get back?"

"In that case, we can make a profit."

But thinking about Yu Xinghan's current job, and the fact that the other party was selling seeds and then came to him for sparring, Zhang Yu felt something was off.

"What's so strange about it?" Zhang Yu suppressed his unease. "Isn't the money from selling seeds money?"

Following the announcement of the exam results, the candidates began to leave the examination hall under the guidance of the Orthodox God.

However, before leaving, Zhang Yu had a sudden thought, remembering Zhou Chechen and the Zhou Family.

So he took the initiative and said, "Examiner, I have something I'd like to report."

Under the curious gaze of the other candidates, Zhang Yu stayed behind alone.

Huang Zichou looked at Zhang Yu with a smile and asked kindly, "What can I do for you?"

Although there is a significant gap in strength between Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, it's unlikely that Zhang Yu will obtain the Foundation Establishment Certificate this year.

However, Huang Zichou believed that Zhang Yu might be more valuable than Ye Lingxiao, because he could find out about the Ye Clan behind Ye Lingxiao, but he couldn't find out who the big shot behind Zhang Yu was.

The more he couldn't find out, the more Huang Zichou felt something was amiss. Just then, Zhang Yu took the initiative to say something, Huang Zichou decided to take the opportunity to befriend him, which could be considered as establishing a good relationship.

However, although Huang Zichou thought this way, reality did not give him the opportunity.

Before Zhang Yu could speak, Deng Bingding had already appeared beside the two of them and said calmly, "Zichou, you go and write today's report first. I'll take care of things here."

Huang Zichou glanced at the expressionless Deng Bingding and thought to himself, "No... you're going to snatch this too? Could it be that the person behind Zhang Yu is even more powerful than I expected?"

Huang Zichou left helplessly, cursing inwardly, "All that money was given to the dogs."

Deng Bingding looked at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "What do you want?"

Zhang Yu then recounted how he had been followed by the Zhou Family in Songyang City, concluding, "... I was worried they were investigating my participation in the Foundation Establishment Exam, so I wanted to report this to you, the examiner."

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, Deng Bingding had a half-smile on his face.

Deng Bingding found it hard to believe that any Lineage in Songyang City would dare to investigate the Foundation Establishment Exam.

On the contrary, it's quite possible that Zhang Yu wants to use his own fire to burn down the Zhou Family.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

However, Deng Bingding naturally didn't expose him. Instead, he pondered whether Zhang Yu's actions were his own doing, or the doing of someone behind him.

Deng Bingding was unsure, so she said, "I understand. I'll have someone investigate the Zhou Family to see if they've been spying on the Foundation Establishment Exam."

"Add me as a friend. If anything else happens, you can tell me anytime."

Zhang Yu, somewhat flattered, asked, "Add me as a friend?"

Deng Bingding said calmly, "Protecting the information security of every student taking the Foundation Establishment Exam is our duty as examiners; it's our duty."

Zhang Yu was somewhat surprised to add Deng Bingding as a friend, thinking to himself, "So it's possible to add friends with Orthodox God? I've never seen this function on Talisman Arts before. Is it because my Faith Level is too low?"

Watching Zhang Yu's departing figure, Deng Bingding's thoughts shifted slightly, wondering, "Have the results from the other side come out as well?"

On the other side, in the Martial Dao examination hall.

Bai Zhenzhen finally stepped onto the stage and chose to fight Yun Jing.

"At least we need to see exactly where the gap lies between me and the other party."

Of course, another reason besides that is to take advantage of medical insurance coverage.

With this thought in mind, Bai Zhenzhen stepped onto the stage, and the image of her 1 million yuan medical insurance limit reappeared above her head.

However, the moment the medical insurance limit appeared, the number on it began to decrease rapidly, dropping by more than 200,000 before stopping.

As the treatment ended, Bai Zhenzhen felt a wave of relief wash over her, and all the injuries she had sustained in the previous arena match had healed.

On the other side of the arena, Yun Jing asked calmly, "Is it cured?"

"Wait, let me warm up first." Bai Zhenzhen twisted her body, and the next moment she suddenly flashed and rushed towards Yun Jing with a series of lightning bolts.

Unseen Sword Qi surged from her fingertips, unleashing Heavenly Sword that immediately began to annihilate Yun Jing.

At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen was using the Ten Thousand Swords Without End Art, which she had already cultivated to level 8.

The sword techniques of this art are almost endless. When Bai Zhenzhen unleashed them at high speed, they were amplified by Thunder Magical Power and swept towards Yun Jing like a vast storm of thunderclouds.

Bai Zhenzhen certainly didn't think she could defeat Yun Jing in one move. She just wanted to use her high speed and the multiple moves of the Ten Thousand Swords Without End Art to attack Yun Jing from various angles as much as possible, to test his reactions and obtain more information, so that she could compete with him in the next Foundation Establishment Exam.

In Yun Jing's eyes, which had already been refined into Dharma Skeleton, not only could he see every move Bai Zhenzhen made clearly, but he could even see the numbers that appeared in each move.

-

3200-

500-

4899

That represents the Medical Insurance Quota that will be consumed after each hit on him.

Through these numbers, Yun Jing seemed to be able to find the flaws in Bai Zhenzhen's moves and distinguish the changes between reality and illusion.

But Yun Jing did not do that.

He simply raised his palm and slammed it towards Bai Zhenzhen.

With the sudden eruption of his Twin Dantians, streams of fiery Gang Qi surged forth from his body like a volcanic eruption, forming a crimson wall that stood on the arena, splitting it in two before pressing down on Bai Zhenzhen.

Boom!

Seeing the overwhelming force of the Gang Qi pressing down and feeling the astonishing heat wave coming towards her, Bai Zhenzhen changed her sword moves, and streaks of Sword Qi carrying lightning slashed at Yun Jing's Gang Qi.

Amidst the resounding explosions, the Sword Qi energy shattered, and the Gang Qi was quickly replaced. Bai Zhenzhen was forced to retreat repeatedly, and was ultimately squeezed off the arena by the wall-like Gang Qi.

"They actually forced me off the stage with their Gang Qi; that's simply an unreasonable fighting style..."

"There's no skill involved; it's all built on a foundation of money."

Looking at Yun Jing on the stage and recalling the opponent's tactics just now, Bai Zhenzhen felt a headache coming on.
