Zhang Yu's Decisive Battle Against Ye Lingxiao

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao were each standing on a high platform.

The two platforms are about five or six meters high and several tens of meters apart.

Below the platform, on the ground and in the surrounding air, wisps of Divine Power permeated the air, transforming into various Runes and forming a large array.

As this grand formation operates, various high-risk environments will form on the high platform, threatening Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

A Dragon Binding Cord was currently strung between the two high platforms, with Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao holding its left and right ends respectively.

Ye Lingxiao took a deep breath, adjusting every inch of his body to its optimal state, like a rocket fully fueled and ready to launch at any moment.

At the same time, he licked the Mind Division Spirit Pill (Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule) in his mouth. After the exam started, he planned to bite through the outer shell of the sedative and swallow the Mind Division Spirit Pill whole.

Ye Lingxiao looked at Zhang Yu on another high platform, his eyes radiating intense fighting spirit. He had already made up his mind to unleash his full power as soon as he came up.

Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, "Judging from the results of the first two trials, his physical body is now about the same level as mine, but perhaps because of his Dao Heart, or insufficient time for cultivation... in short, his control over his physical body is somewhat lacking."

Especially recalling Zhang Yu's poor performance in the Profound Abyss Heavy Water during the previous Foundation Establishment Exam, Ye Lingxiao became even more certain of this.

"It must have been a while before this guy's Physical Strength caught up with mine, which is why I lack control over him."

"The best way is to unleash my full power from the start, leveraging my superior control over my body to unleash even greater physical strength and defeat him in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, as the high-risk environments change repeatedly and our bodies are constantly worn down and weakened, my advantage in physical control will diminish."

Feeling the Mind Division Spirit Pill in his mouth, Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, "Fortunately, I've made considerable progress over the past three months. My initial burst of power should be enough to defeat him."

Just as Ye Lingxiao made up his mind, a countdown suddenly appeared in mid-air.

3!

As the countdown began, Zhang Yu on the other platform tensed up, gripping the Dragon Binding Cord tightly with both hands.

At the same time, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This match... will drag on!"

"My control over the situation is not as good as my opponent's, so if we were to directly confront them head-on, the outcome would be unpredictable."

"We must rely on the massive burst of toxins from the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen to defeat our opponent in one fell swoop through brute force."

"Even if Ye Lingxiao also has this move, he doesn't have High School Sacred Body, so the amount of poison he can unleash is definitely far less than mine."

Feeling the "Zen" character within him still absorbing toxins, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The longer this drags on, the more medicinal power I digest and the more toxins accumulate. This will allow me to unleash even greater power in a short time, enabling me to defeat my opponent directly with brute force surpassing theirs..."

"So drag it out for as long as possible, until you really can't hold on any longer, then unleash the toxins and stimulate your potential."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu looked at the High School Sacred Body on the Chain Law Diagram, but ultimately did not switch it to the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.

He decided to allow the High School Sacred Body to continue absorbing more medicinal power and accumulating more toxins, using its Qi Refining Peak digestive and metabolic abilities.

Zhang Yu could sense that every second he craved now would give him more power in his next burst, increasing his chances of winning this test.

Just as these thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu's mind, the countdown numbers in mid-air changed again.

2!

Ye Lingxiao suddenly bit open the outer shell of the Mind Division Spirit Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. In the blink of an eye, the medicinal power had already dissolved in his body, and a series of cool gusts of air rushed straight to the top of his head.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, his muscles bulged, and he swelled into a 2.8-meter-tall mini-giant.

1!

Roar!

With a roar, Zhang Yu's muscles contorted into a single point, like explosives exploding, as he forcefully pulled the Dragon Binding Cord in his hand towards the target.

On the other side of the high platform, after the effects of the Mind Division Spirit Pill Medicine took hold, Ye Lingxiao was in a daze.

As if he hadn't even reacted, Zhang Yu suddenly dragged him away, leaving him only three meters from the edge of the platform.

In that instant, it was as if two voices were in his mind, one telling him to activate the Wishful Exquisite Bone first, and the other telling him to activate the Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power first.

His body also swelled and contracted intermittently, as if a conflict had occurred between Cultivation Method Cultivation Method.

Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, "Is there a problem with the Mind Division Spirit Pill Split? Is the interval between consecutive doses too short?"

The edge of the platform three meters away posed a tremendous threat; the word "failure" seemed to collapse like the sky itself, pressing down on Ye Lingxiao.

"I can't lose!"

In that brief moment, Ye Lingxiao seemed to recall many things from the past.

He thought of his deceased brothers and sisters, and of the clan rules that the Ye Clan had upheld generation after generation.

"People are born with different talents. Instead of wasting resources on mediocre people, it's better to abandon them and only cultivate the best one in each generation."

These were the words the Clan Leader had said to him before he entered high school.

"Talent determines the upper limit of each member of the clan."

"And the simplest way to obtain members of the clan with great talent is to have more children."

"Ling Xiao, do you remember the gacha game the company ran? It was like drawing character cards; if you drew enough, you'd eventually get a powerful character."

"The same applies to offspring. As long as you have enough children, you will eventually have offspring with talent. That's how wondrous the way of Heavenly Dao is."

The Clan Leader stroked his head and smiled, saying, "Therefore, our Ye Clan produces more than ten thousand offspring each generation, but only a handful of them can become true bloodline inheritors. Generation after generation, combined with the latest Immortal Dao Technique, we can finally forge our clan's Perfect Bloodline." "But based on this, I have made new changes."

"After all, some offspring may not have strong overall talent, but they may have unique advantages in certain parts of their bodies."

"Just as some people are born with longer arms, some with stronger hearts, and some with more resilient veins... such differences are also common among your siblings, and you are all of the same bloodline."

The Clan Leader said with a proud look, "Ling Xiao, your talent is already outstanding enough that you can be considered number one among your ten thousand brothers and sisters."

"That's why you deserve the surname Ye."

"But by combining the talents of your outstanding brothers, Elder Sister, and cousins... you will become the strongest generation of the Ye Family."

"You must cooperate sincerely and work together as one, understand?"

On the high platform of the examination hall.

In the instant Zhang Yu dragged him away, perhaps stimulated by the crisis, or perhaps pressured by the memories in his mind, the two conflicting thoughts in Ye Lingxiao's mind suddenly began to cooperate seamlessly.

Zhang Yu, on the other side, was startled when he saw Ye Lingxiao being pulled by him. "What's wrong with him?"

"Am I going to win right away?"

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

Zhang Yu's immediate thought was to unleash the power of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen and defeat his opponent in one fell swoop.

But Ye Lingxiao, who was only in a daze for a moment, did not give Zhang Yu that chance.

Boom!

Suddenly Ye Lingxiao stomped his foot on the ground, his muscles bulging and revealing dragon-scale-like muscles, as he simultaneously activated the Wishful Exquisite Bone and the Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power.

Immediately following, the two thoughts in Ye Lingxiao's mind worked in perfect harmony, unleashing one Martial Arts after another: the toxins of the Boundless Spring Autumn Zen erupted, and the fascia caused by the Elephant Demon Tendon Entangling Transformation continued to expand...

In an instant, Ye Lingxiao brought himself to a steady stop at the edge of the platform.

Boom!

As Ye Lingxiao stopped, the Dragon Binding Cord suddenly snapped straight in mid-air, making a loud bang.

In Ye Lingxiao's mind, two thoughts roared in turn, each making its own sound.

"We are the best!"

How could we lose?

"If we lose to them, wouldn't that tarnish the reputation of the Perfect Bloodline? How would we then promote our new technology?"

Do you know how much less you'll earn with the huge amount of money invested in stocks?

"Without this money, how are we supposed to go to university? How are we supposed to compete with those rich people up there?"

"Whoever makes us earn less! We'll make them die!"

With these two thoughts operating in tandem, Ye Lingxiao felt as if his body was being controlled by two versions of himself, and with the unleashing of one Cultivation Method after another, his power surged dramatically.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao summoned even greater power from within his body than Zhang Yu.

Bang!

As Ye Lingxiao took a step back, Zhang Yu was also dragged forward a step.

As Zhang Yu was being dragged step by step by Ye Lingxiao toward the edge of the platform, a sudden heat rose in the air.

As the Divine Power Formation changed, a high-temperature environment descended.

The air was rapidly heated, and every breath felt like it was burning Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao's lungs, while their skin was stinging.

The two stopped breathing almost simultaneously, and then Zhang Yu activated the low-temperature mode of the Ice and Fire Body Refinement Art to resist the high-temperature environment.

Ye Lingxiao activated his Body Protection Technique, wrapping his entire body in a thick layer of keratin to insulate him from heat transmission as much as possible.

After all that struggling, Ye Lingxiao gritted his teeth and continued to pull on the taut Dragon Binding Cord, dragging Zhang Yu forward two more steps, leaving him only five steps from the edge of the platform.

Just then, the high-risk environment changed again.

The scorching heat disappeared, and the change in gravity descended upon Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, making them feel as if they had suddenly been carrying a Da Shan on their backs.

In particular, the increased strain on their internal organs forced them to utilize their Visceral Power to resist the attack.

After adjusting slightly, Ye Lingxiao pulled hard again, dragging Zhang Yu forward two more steps, leaving only three steps to the edge.

Then the high-risk environment changed again, this time it was high pressure.

The atmosphere seemed to become countless times heavier in an instant, as if they had been thrown into the ocean floor thousands of meters deep.

The sudden and drastic change in pressure caused Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao to bleed from all seven orifices and their eardrums to rupture.

The two had to adjust the pressure in their internal cavities and struggle against the environment.

But Ye Lingxiao seized the opportunity and dragged Zhang Yu two more steps, leaving him only one step away from the edge of the platform.

We can't wait any longer.

Zhang Yu focused his attention slightly on the Chain Law Diagram and spent two seconds switching his High School Sacred Body to Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.

With this switch, Zhang Yu felt a self-healing power surge within his flesh and blood, and the surrounding high pressure no longer seemed so terrifying in the face of the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.

But in those two seconds, the high-risk environment changed again. The high pressure disappeared, but bursts of acid mist appeared out of nowhere and attacked the two of them.
