Third Stage of the Physical Body

In the audience seats.

"Er Ha Tou," the Civil Engineering representative from Ten Thousand Laws University, looked at the results of this round of the competition and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, not bad. Ye Lingxiao is smart and adaptable to physical changes. Once he's equipped with the Dharma Skeleton for office use, he'll be a good candidate for feng shui and Formation design. Working four hours a day shouldn't be a problem."

"Zhang Yu's physical body is progressing faster than his Dao Heart, which means his body is more useful than his brain. He'll definitely be a master at digging soil on a construction site in the future. He won't need to build too many Dharma Skeleton; he can become an all-around cultivator. Not only is he more useful than Law Treasure, but his food expenses will definitely be much cheaper than the rental fee for Law Treasure."

At this point, he laughed, "One designs, the other constructs; these two will surely become the two prides of our Civil Engineering Department in the future."

He was already quite impatient and wanted to recruit both of them.

He thought to himself, "The market competition is fierce these days. On the one hand, the bankruptcy rate, demonization rate, and sudden death rate among the Civil Engineering Department students have been rising year after year, and there's still not enough capable students on campus. On the other hand, those monsters from Heavenly Demon University are engaging in price wars, and the department's revenue keeps declining."

"If these two are trained, they'll definitely be able to defeat those Ox Demon, Horse Demon, Dragon Demon, and Elephant Demon, and help me make more money..."

As for why he prioritizes hiring current students over graduates, it's simply because graduates are paid too high salaries, making current students far more suitable.

Hearing the Er Ha Tou's exclamation, the Mao Mao Tou from the Finance Department nodded slightly and said, "These two are indeed alright."

"Although they are not rich enough, their foundation in Immortal Dao is a bit weak."

"But in the ways of Heavenly Dao, every bite and sip leaves a glimmer of hope for climbing the Immortal Dao."

"Although their foundation in Immortal Dao is somewhat weak, their potential for borrowing is very high."

"If they get into Ten Thousand Methods, you can bring them here, and I can help them get a student loan."

After saying that, Mao Mao Tou added, "However, I see quite a few people here are interested in both of them. If you put all your bets on just two people, you might not be able to recruit either of them."

"It would be better to concentrate the budget and focus it on one person; that would increase the success rate."

The Er Ha Tou seemed to understand something upon hearing this. "You're right..."

The Mao Mao Tou asked curiously, "So, which one are you planning to focus your budget on hiring?"

Er Ha Tou smiled slightly and said, "That's naturally Ye Lingxiao. Of the two, Ye Lingxiao is currently stronger."

"Besides, he's already a senior in high school, and he'll be starting school in six months. He can use it right away then."

"As for Zhang Yu... he doesn't take the Gaokao until next year, so let's talk about it next year, there's no rush."

Just as the two representatives from Ten Thousand Laws University were discussing the next steps, the "Smiling Emoji" on the other side said to his son, "See? I wasn't wrong, was I? Isn't Ye Lingxiao more useful?"

"The low synchronization rate on the Dharma Skeleton indicates that Zhang Yu's brain is clearly not as sharp as Ye Lingxiao's."

"Actually, this can be seen from the previous level. After all, people who are poor have limited knowledge and experience, and they lack this kind of training from a young age..."

The person with the "Laughing Crying Emoji" next to him nodded absentmindedly, thinking to themselves, "So what if he's not as good as Ye Lingxiao Ye Lingxiao? I'll just have both of them, won't I?"

"Anyway, I can only use Ye Lingxiao for half a year, but Zhang Yu still has a year and a half before going to university. It's perfect to use him as a high school student's representative after Ye Lingxiao leaves."

Meanwhile, Huang Zichou had almost finished explaining the content of the third test.

Zhang Yu pondered the content of this final test, thinking to himself, "Will I have to compete with Ye Lingxiao in physical performance using the Dragon Binding Cord under different dangerous environments?"

High temperature, low temperature, high pressure, highly toxic, strong acid, strong alkali, super gravity...

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao will randomly experience different dangerous environments in this final test room.

In such a drastically changing environment, even with their formidable physical strength, their lives were in danger.

Huang Zichou reminded them again, "The treatment costs after the exam will be sponsored by All-Round Medical Insurance Company. If you feel you can't hold on any longer, immediately press the alarm device, and I will safely send you out for treatment."

"I want to remind you again that the high-risk environment in this level has changed drastically and could now potentially kill you."

"So once you feel you can't hold on any longer, give up immediately."

"If you die in the examination room, we will not be responsible for the outcome of the exam, and you will not receive any compensation..."

To clarify this point, Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, witnessed by five Orthodox God, jointly signed a contract promising that regardless of whether they were disabled, seriously injured, or died in the final test, no matter what kind of harm they suffered, they would not pursue liability, demand compensation, or expose the incident to the public.

Looking at the densely packed rows of potential damages and the numerous rights to be waived promised behind them, Zhang Yu felt the danger of the next level even more keenly.

But Zhang Yu, having already come this far, was naturally not going to give up. He just thought to himself, "But the possibility of dying in this round... is this just a deliberate attempt to put pressure on us?"

"If we misjudge the situation and are about to die in danger beyond our limits, will even the Orthodox God save us?"

"Given Kunxu's track record, it's not impossible for them to put on such a dangerous exam." At the same time, Huang Zichou thought to himself, "Lord Deng truly lives up to his title of a sixth-rank deity. This exam is comprehensive, and the results will leave no room for criticism. Plus, we can sell data on the physical bodies of Qi Refining Period cultivators under various conditions. It's a win-win situation."

But what Zhang Yu considered an extremely dangerous high-risk environment was only part of this test.

In this dangerous environment, he and Ye Lingxiao will stand on a high platform, each holding one end of the Dragon Binding Cord.

As for the so-called Dragon Binding Cord, according to Huang Zichou's introduction, it is a long chain made of high-strength materials. It is said that this chain was once used as a restraint device to imprison Giant Dragon.

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao each held one end of the Dragon Binding Cord. Whoever could pull the other down from the platform first would win the test.

If anyone loses control of the Dragon Binding Cord, they are immediately declared the loser.

Of course, anyone who cannot withstand the high-risk environment will also be judged as having lost.

Huang Zichou said, "This test will not only examine your vitality and physical resilience in high-risk environments, but also your physical strength and the potential your bodies can unleash under such high pressure."

"And the key to this is this high pressure."

"Compared to your future paths, high school might be the last time you can relax..."

"Damn it..." Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, "Where is the relaxation in high school?!"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Huang Zichou: "Once you enter university, you will have truly embarked on the Immortal Path. During these ten years at university, you will have no chance to relax, and the pressure you face will only increase year by year."

"Sudden death, bankruptcy, dropping out of school, becoming possessed... all sorts of threats will come at you relentlessly, forcing you to unleash your potential."

"The key to this stage is to test your potential under immense pressure..."

"You have half an hour to rest and recover from the exhaustion and effects of the first two levels."

"The final exam will officially begin in half an hour."

Just after Huang Zichou announced the half-hour break, Zhang Yu suddenly asked, "Examiner, will the medicine in the medicine cabinet still be available during this half hour?"

Upon hearing this question, Huang Zichou was slightly taken aback.

At the same time, some Orthodox God on the internal network immediately expressed their opposition.

Mu Guiyin said, "The competition hasn't even officially started yet, what are we eating for? Isn't this just needlessly increasing the budget?"

While the lesser gods were all objecting, Huang Zichou remained silent. After all, spending more money was a major enemy of the Orthodox God, and anyone who dared to support it would surely become the target of everyone's criticism.

But just then, Huang Zichou suddenly received a message from Deng Bingding.

"Lord Deng? You want me to support the opening up of medicines?" Huang Zichou was slightly taken aback when he saw the message, but he immediately replied decisively, "Medications for exams, don't they have to be taken before the exam? I think it's fine."

Just as the lesser gods were arguing, and finally turned their attention to Deng Bingding, this Sixth-Rank True God, acting as the judge, made his decision. "Mu Guiyin makes a good point (thumbs up), but Zi Chou's point is also valid (thumbs up)."

"I think we should open the medicine service 15 minutes before the exam."

At this point, Deng Bingding smiled slightly and said, "The sponsors also said that they rarely see someone like Zhang Yu who takes medicine so heartily. They can feel a kind of hunger for the medicine from him, and they especially like the way he eats. They are willing to donate another batch of medicine so that Zhang Yu can have his fill."

After resting for 15 minutes, Zhang Yu quickly went over to the medicine cabinet as it opened, grabbed a large bottle of medicine, and gulped it down.

At the same time, his Chain Law Diagram had already switched to the state of High School Sacred Body, and then his ability to handle Drug Load and metabolism had been raised to the limit of the Qi Refining Period.

Zhang Yu felt the swallowed medicine transform into bursts of potent medicinal power that exploded within his body, and moments later, it brought with it streams of poison that converged towards the "Zen" character on his chest.

He thought to himself, "Excellent, I'll take advantage of this free medicine opportunity to continue accumulating the poison within these fifteen minutes..."

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao walked to the medicine cabinet and took out some combat drugs that could increase explosive power and restore physical strength and energy, intending to take them before the exam began.

After all, he already has plenty of medication in his daily life. Taking too much medication before the exam would only distract him from digestion and increase the burden on his body.

Then Ye Lingxiao touched the Mind Division Spirit Pill (Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule) he had brought, thinking to himself, "I'll take it before the exam, using dual thinking combined with my bloodline potential to win this battle at my strongest, forcing these university representatives to offer higher incentives during admissions."

Having reached the final hurdle, Ye Lingxiao had no hesitation in giving it his all from the outset.

What made him hesitate was whether his strongest form consisted of one or two Mind Division Spirit Pill.

The laboratory had not reached a conclusion on this matter until he took today's Foundation Establishment Exam.

Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, "Eating two might make me stronger, but it could also have unpredictable consequences."
