Just as Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao were quietly preparing for their final exam.

The vast majority of spectators in the stands no longer focused their attention on the Physical Track testing area.

After all, for these viewers watching remotely through the Spirit Realm Network, they are actually watching the finals of the four tracks of the Foundation Establishment Exam on the first Layer 1 of Kunxu simultaneously.

Many university representatives, due to their own interests, have special requirements for admissions and have not paid much attention to the Physical Track, focusing most of their attention on other areas.

While Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao were taking a break, even the viewers who were originally focused on the Physical Track naturally turned their attention to other competitions.

"Neither Dao Heart nor magical power are particularly interesting to watch."

After glancing at the examination halls for Dao Heart and Magic Power, the "Laughing Crying Emoji" finally decided to check out the situation at the Martial Dao Arena.

"Among the Qi Refining Stage — Dao Heart, Mana Power, Physical Body, and Martial Dao —the most interesting tests seem to be Physical Body and Martial Dao."

"However, the Physical Track attracts more viewers, since it's suitable for many different professions."

" In Martial Dao arts, the exams every year focus on practical combat, mainly covering topics like safety, weaponry, warfare, and military affairs. At most, specialists in combat-related fields like weapon crafting, Dharma Skeleton, and medicine will also be given more attention..."

The person with the "Laughing Crying Emoji" expression had just thought of these things when they looked at the Martial Dao arena and were slightly taken aback, only to find that the matches here had already ended.

"So fast?"

Looking at the woman lying on the ring, her body almost falling apart, the "Laughing Crying Emoji" curiously selected the replay function.

Then the scene before his eyes began to rewind rapidly, quickly starting from the beginning of the scene.

In the same examination room where Huang Zichou was distracted and presiding over the exam.

First, the venue was shown, then the exam content and rules were explained, and then the candidates prepared.

After all this was done, Bai Zhenzhen and Yun Jing walked up from opposite sides of the arena.

In this final Martial Dao Exam, three rounds of arena battles will be held, with each round consisting of two best-of-three matches.

After each match, both candidates will receive unlimited medical insurance treatment.

In each arena battle, the Orthodox God would save them before they died.

In other words, in each of these three rounds, both sides can fight with their strongest, most desperate, and most uninhibited attitude, unleashing all their combat potential.

In addition, various Battle Spirit Root and weapons were displayed on the side for both sides to choose from freely.

However, neither Yun Jing nor Bai Zhenzhen used their Battle Spirit Root.

Bai Zhenzhen, on the other hand, chose a Magnetic Oscillation Sword. After injecting magic power into it, the blade could oscillate at a high frequency, unleashing powerful destructive force.

Feeling the coldness emanating from the sword hilt, Bai Zhenzhen thought to himself, "I wouldn't normally be able to use such an Enterprise Grade Law Treasure, would I?"

"And then there's the unlimited medical insurance after each round..." Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but smile as she thought about it, "I've never fought such a well-off battle in my life."

As the countdown above the arena gradually reached zero.

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly raised her longsword high and shouted, "University representatives in the audience, all of you, see clearly!"

She Sword Finger Yun Jing and said, "Next, I will defeat my opponent in one move."

"You should think carefully about what terms you should offer me."

Yun Jing on the other side of the arena, remained calm upon hearing these words, but inwardly thought, "Just like last time when I fought Dai Xingzhi, is he trying to provoke me?"

"This woman really likes to use provocation as a tactic."

Yun Jing didn't say anything in response to Bai Zhenzhen's provocation, but responded with action the moment the countdown reached zero.

Simultaneously activating his Twin Dantians in his chest and lower abdomen, a continuous stream of molten mana erupted forth. Accompanied by Yun Jing's palm strike, it transformed into a raging wall of fire that swept across Bai Zhenzhen's location like a waterfall.

Three months ago, Bai Zhenzhen was forced off the stage by this wide-range attack and lost that exam.

But now, three months later, the moves that Bai Zhenzhen thought were hopeless back then are now full of flaws.

Over the past period, Bai Zhenzhen has experienced battle after battle in gang warfare, witnessing how the lowest-level cultivators in Songyang City can come up with all sorts of ingenious methods to fight in order to make money, kill, do business, or just survive.

It was during this constant battle that Bai Zhenzhen felt her True Spirit Root adapting, making her feel that the experts of the Gold Class Gang were getting weaker and weaker, and their moves were becoming increasingly flawed.

She had thought that all the Qi Refining Peak of the Gold Class Gang had been killed.

Later she realized that it wasn't that the people in the Gold Class Gang had become weaker, but rather that she had become stronger and stronger, increasingly able to discern her opponents' weaknesses based on Spiritual Energy changes in the air.

At this very moment, she could see several weak points in the impenetrable wall of fire.

With a flick of her longsword, Bai Zhenzhen passed through the wall of fire and walked towards Yun Jing.

"Here I come." Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly, and the next moment she shot towards Yun Jing like a bolt of lightning.

Yun Jing thought to himself, "The Ten Thousand Swords Without End Art?"

Bai Zhenzhen acted swiftly, but she still couldn't escape Yun Jing's keen observation.

His Eye Skeleton instantly discerned Bai Zhenzhen's attack, including possible follow-up moves and the flaws in each move.

"I really can't be like that freak Ye Lingxiao, who learned a bunch of Cultivation Method in three years of high school."

"But the number of Cultivation Method I've purchased is definitely no less than his!"

The reason Yun Jing wanted to buy the Copyright of various Cultivation Method was to store a large amount of data about these Cultivation Method into his Eye Skeleton, so that he could instantly judge his opponent's moves and find their weaknesses in battle.

The amount of money required to achieve this is clearly beyond the imagination of ordinary students.

Even Yun Jing spent a lot of time and energy on this.

Even if he comes from a wealthy family, the money his family gives him isn't unlimited; if he wants more money, he needs to earn it himself.

Starting in the second grade of elementary school, Yun Jing began her own business with her father's encouragement.

He still remembered what his father had once told him.

"There are two principles in this world that I want to tell you."

"First, although one can only cultivate Immortal Dao in high school, the act of making money can begin from the moment a person is born."

"Secondly, the upper limit a person can reach on the Immortal Dao is determined by the wealth they possess."

"From these two facts, we can draw a conclusion."

"True cultivation of Immortal Dao actually began from the moment you were born."

"Start making money, Yun Jing. The sooner you start making money, the more money you can make, and the further you can go on the path of Immortal Dao."

Yun Jing strongly agreed with his father's words, so he started investing while he was in kindergarten and became an angel investor in several companies.

When he was in second grade, he started his first company. While his classmates were doing their homework, he was staying up late making reports.

While his classmates were reviewing their notes, he was chairing a midnight meeting.

While his classmates were working on their practice tests, he was keeping his employees company as they worked overtime through the night.

After entering Immortal Cloud High School, Yun Jing never gave up on this path.

While others were Breath Circulation, I was making money.

While others were engaged in real-world practice, I was making money.

"While others were Body Tempering, I was still making money."

"It is precisely because I have persisted in making money day after day, year after year, that I have been able to get to where I am today..."

"I started Immortal Cultivation when I was five years old!"

For the past three months, Yun Jing's training has consisted of continuing to make money.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

It was precisely because he earned more money that, despite the Lineage's limited budget, he was able to allow his Eye Skeleton to acquire more Cultivation Method Copyright, to dismantle and outsource his meridians and flesh to university graduates for Body Tempering, and to use Parasitic Spiritual Root to buy the magical power of university students...

Yun Jing unleashed both palms simultaneously, following the guidance of the Eye Skeleton, attacking the flaws in Bai Zhenzhen's moves.

But in the next moment, he suddenly discovered that Bai Zhenzhen had changed her move in a bizarre way, using a High School Basic Swordsmanship.

Before he could think, Yun Jing had already changed his tactics and altered his offensive strategy.

A slight smile appeared on Bai Zhenzhen's lips as she watched this scene.

"Our battle actually began six months ago."

Six months ago, right after the Second Round Foundation Establishment Exam ended, Bai Zhenzhen learned that her strongest opponent on the track was the man before her.

Therefore, based on her observations, she began to search for the type of Dharma Skeleton she saw, the Martial Arts Martial Arts opponent used, the nature of the Twin Dantians, and the meaning of the various unusual phenomena during digestion and combat...

Bai Zhenzhen seized every opportunity to observe, and afterward, she diligently collected information, gradually filling in the gaps in her understanding of her opponent's combat data.

For example, the opponent's Dharma Skeleton.

After repeatedly searching on shopping websites and comparing appearances, Bai Zhenzhen finally confirmed the model of the Dharma Skeleton.

"Tianyan Company's Enterprise Grade Dharma Skeleton, Dharma Skeleton that can be used even during the Qi Refining Period — Heavenly Mechanism."

Bai Zhenzhen was already intimately familiar with the data and performance of this Eye Skeleton.

She Fourth Office reviews and comments online, constantly reading them, and even sent private messages to review Pro-Peace and online celebrities to inquire about the details, for which she did not hesitate to tip them.

In this process, Bai Zhenzhen has come to understand this Dharma Skeleton very well.

"The biggest flaw in the Heavenly Mechanism Secret is that the artifact spirit is too rigid."

"When I used the High School Basic Swordsmanship, because this swordsmanship was too simple and common, its flaws had long been established, so the way to break the secrets of the Heavenly Mechanism could be predicted."

For Bai Zhenzhen, once she unleashed this basic sword move, she already knew how her opponent would counter it, which meant she could anticipate their next move.

Bai Zhenzhen neither dodged nor chose to block.

She chose, based on her foresight, the opportunity to stab her opponent, even at the cost of half her body being engulfed in flames and suffering severe burns.

With a thud, Bai Zhenzhen, who was emitting a burnt smell, was already kneeling on the ground.

At the same time, with a soft "thud," the sword, crackling with electricity, pierced Yun Jing's shoulder.

But Yun Jing disagreed. "With my Body Protection Technique and Battle Spirit Root, her sword strike will definitely break through..."

The next moment, the tiny wound on Yun Jing's shoulder suddenly expanded with the stimulation of magic power, and a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain, accelerating his body's collapse.

"What?!"

Yun Jing stared at the scene in disbelief, utterly unable to comprehend how his body, which he had outsourced to hundreds of college students and undergone countless trials, could be so easily broken open by a single, gentle sword strike.

After this battle, and following a three-month investigation, Yun Jing discovered that several college graduates, after receiving his outsourcing projects, had subcontracted them to a group of Junior College graduates.

Among these Junior College graduates, one of them outsourced his work to a high school student.

It was because of that high school student's negligence that Yun Jing's body had a slight flaw.

Bai Zhenzhen noticed this slight flaw, which broke his Body Protection Technique.

At this moment on the arena, with a soft whooshing sound, the longsword, following the opening in the explosion, almost sliced through most of Yun Jing's body.

At that very moment, the Orthodox God saved Yun Jing and Bai Zhenzhen respectively.

While Bai Zhenzhen was seriously injured, Yun Jing suffered a fatal wound that nearly killed him.

Bai Zhenzhen wins the first round.

After the treatment was completed, Bai Zhenzhen, who was taking the stage for the second round, looked at Yun Jing with an arrogant expression and said calmly, "I told you I could defeat you in one move."

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen's arrogant demeanor, Yun Jing had to admit that he was indeed somewhat provoked by her.

This anger was also tinged with tension, a tension stemming from not knowing how the other party would break through his Body Protection Technique.

So, as soon as the second round started, Yun Jing went all out, giving his opponent no chance to get close.

With the insane output from his Twin Dantians, Yun Jing turned the entire arena into a sea of fire, giving Bai Zhenzhen absolutely no chance to get close.

Under his relentless barrage of attacks, Bai Zhenzhen struggled for more than ten minutes before finally being forced off the stage.

After the second game, Yun Jing regained his confidence, knowing that his strength was superior to his opponent's. As long as he played steadily and didn't fall for his opponent's tricks, he couldn't possibly lose.

"It's one win and one loss now," Yun Jing thought to himself. "As long as I win this last round, I'll get my Foundation Establishment Certificate."

But at the start of the third round, Bai Zhenzhen once again Sword Finger to the sky and addressed the audience, saying, "Everyone, watch closely."

"This round is over."

"I will still defeat him with a single sword strike later."

My goal for university is only the top 10.

"You'd better prepare competitive conditions to recruit me."
