Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan had already heard Zhang Pianpian's introduction during their meal, and had gained a deeper understanding of the Foundation Establishment Class at Ten Thousand Laws University.

Every year, a new cohort of Foundation Establishment Class is offered across all majors at Ten Thousand Laws University.

In addition to students who completed Foundation Establishment in high school, this Foundation Establishment Class also includes university students who obtained Foundation Establishment Certificate at the school and completed Foundation Establishment this year.

Fu Ji explained, "For example, if any Civil Engineering Qi Refining student at Ten Thousand Laws University successfully completes the Foundation Establishment in the past year, they will be admitted to your class's Civil Engineering Foundation Establishment Class!"

"And these Foundation Establishment Student who are born within the school generally make up the majority of the Foundation Establishment Class!"

"Those like you and Yu Xinghan, who reached Foundation Establishment in high school and then joined the Foundation Establishment Class immediately upon entering university, must be among the few in the class!"

"But you don't need to worry. Those students from our school are ultimately just Foundation Establishment cultivators within a year. The fact that they're stuck in the Qi Refining Realm for a few more years than you, without becoming stronger, only shows that their talent and Immortal Dao Potential are insufficient!"

At that moment, when Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan arrived at the classroom, three students had already arrived!

One of them was incredibly tall, not only maintaining a height of three meters, but also possessing incredibly muscular muscles, showing no sign of restraint whatsoever!

His eyes were particularly striking; within his pure black pupils, white markings appeared, on which the words "Heaven's Eye" could be seen!

In addition, on the exposed back, a bare spine can be seen, covered with flowing golden runes!

Zhang Yu wondered to himself, "Is this Eye Remains? And a spinal Dharma Skeleton? But why does it feel... a bit ostentatious?"

Fu Ji chuckled and said, "You're right, the white mark in the eye and the golden runes on the spine are brand logos!"

"One is the flagship high-end Eye Remains of Tianyan Company, and the other is the top-of-the-line Spine Magic Skeleton of the Heaven's Eye Vajra Mysterious Creation brand!"

All of these are top-quality products with no blemishes!

"However, it's still a bit inferior to your Time Remnant Demon Eye. After all, this thing was a good purchase by Wang Yin, a top- Foundation Establishment Realm Eye Remains —understated luxury and high-class!"

Fu Ji spoke eloquently, as if reciting a familiar list. "As for showing off designer brands and high-end goods, that's very common in universities like those! If you have the ability, you should show it off boldly, otherwise how will others know you're rich? How will they respect you?"

"Besides, brand-name Dharma Skeleton are inherently more powerful and have superior performance!"

"When I was doing sales at university, I scammed quite a few students who wanted to borrow money to buy designer brands!"

Just as Fu Ji was introducing the topic, Zhang Yu's mind stirred, and the information about the three Foundation Establishment Domain that he had just overlooked surfaced!

Gongshu Jin Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Kunxu Fourth Layer, has entered within 10 meters of you. Strangers, do not add me as a friend!

The second-level Foundation Establishment cultivator Ying Xin, has entered within 10 meters of you. A sixth-generation cultivator reports: Foundation Establishment cultivator Li Xiao has entered within 10 meters of you. Please give me your guidance!

The three Foundation Establishment Domain only maintained a range of 10 meters. Zhang Yu knew this was because the space in the University City was limited, and many people had voluntarily reduced their range!

"Hmm? A Fourth Layer Master?" Zhang Yu looked at the three-meter-tall man who was displaying the Dharma Skeleton token and thought to himself, "It seems that he must be this Gongshu Jin!"

At the same time, Gongshu Jin and his two companions also saw Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan!

One of the women, a woman with a large build, spoke up, "You two, show us your Gaokao scores and basic data. We're doing class rankings, so let's see where you rank in this class!"

The burly woman added, "By the way, my name is Ying Xin. We're both freshmen. You two look like you're freshmen this year too, right?"

Yu Xinghan knew this was an unspoken rule in universities and wasn't bothered by it. He immediately said, "Yes, we are freshmen this year. My name is Yu Xinghan, and my Gaokao score was 600."

Seeing the three people looking at him, Zhang Yu knew there was no point in hiding it, so he said directly, "Zhang Yu, 670 in the Gaokao, Dao Heart level 11, Mana power 276.9, Physical Strength level 10.94!"

Although he scored nearly full marks in all other subjects of the Gaokao, he only scored 71 points in Dao Arts!

After all, this thing is too expensive. With the Foundation Establishment Certificate, as long as he scores above 600 in the Gaokao, he can apply for the top 10. So he doesn't care much about Dao Arts and has never thought about improving his score!

Upon hearing Zhang Yu's Gaokao score, Ying Xin frowned slightly, seemingly surprised that Ten Thousand Laws University would encounter a student with a score of 670!

Only after listening to Zhang Yu's description of his Dao Heart, magical power, and Physical Strength did she nod slightly, acknowledging his level.

Yingxin then asked, "By the way, which floor did you come from?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan's answers from the Kunxu First Layer, a barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in Ying Xin's eyes, while Gongshu Jin, standing to the side, turned his gaze directly to the two of them!

Then Ying Rui reported her own data and introduced Gongshu Jin was standing next to her!

Zhang Yu secretly compared the scores in his mind. Yingxin, who was on the Layer 2, scored 695 points in the college Gaokao, and her basic data was slightly higher than his!

Gongshu Jin, who is on the Layer 4, not only Gaokao 700 points in the college entrance examination, but also had Dao Heart level of 12, and his magic power and Physical Strength were more than 20% higher than his!

Finally, there's Li Xiao, who seems to be the most low-key of the three!

Zhang's Eye Remains flashed with the message from Yu Xinghan: "Do you remember this Li Xiao? He's from Immortal Capital People, the one who passed the Foundation Establishment Certificate exam in the same year as me!"

Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback. He had been focused on his own cultivation at the time and hadn't paid attention to the other Foundation Establishment Certificate holders from Yu Xinghan's last year!

At the same time, after Li Xiao mentioned his Gaokao score of 693 and his basic data which was slightly lower than Zhang Yu's, he stopped talking!

He didn't seem to have any intention of getting close to the two fellow First Floor Compatriots; instead, he kept Ying Xin around Gongshu Jin Jinji Yingxin in a friendly manner!

After glancing at Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, Gongshu Jin said calmly, "Currently, among the five of us, Zhang Yu is third and Yu Xinghan is fifth. As for first and second place, they are naturally Gongshu Jin and Ying Rui. Li Bao from Immortal Capital People is ranked fourth!"

Just then, more people entered the classroom one after another, and when asked by Gongshu Jin and Ying Xin, they voluntarily reported their data!

Although the people who came after them were all university students from this school who had just Foundation Establishment this year, none of them had data that ranked higher than Gongshu Jin!

Clearly, just as Fu Ji said, being stuck in the Qi Refining Realm for a few more years will not make one stronger after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment; on the contrary, it indicates a lack of talent and Immortal Dao Potential!

Zhang Yu looked at this Layer 4 guy like an interviewer scrutinizing each classmate, firmly holding the top spot in the class!

Unbeknownst to them, Gongshu Jin had already been surrounded by a group of students, who stood around him like stars around the moon!

Gongshu Jin thought to himself, "The real Heavenly Prodigy usually go to the three Ace Department: finance, alchemy, and Dao Arts. As for the civil Civil Engineering Department department, I should have a chance to compete for first place in the class!"

As for Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, they stood silently in the corner, unnoticed by anyone!

As more and more Foundation Establishment students arrived, their rankings continued to decline!

Zhang Yu has been ranked 12th, while Yu Xinghan has dropped to 18th!

However, neither of them cared, after all, they had rich experience in climbing from weak to strong, step by step! Yu Xinghan seized the time to silently circulate his inner energy and Breathing Spiritual Opportunity!

Besides cultivating, Zhang Yu was also trying something else!

After hearing Zhang Aopian mention Cement Companion Medicine, he had an idea!

After I activate the Remnant Ox Abandoning Self Heart Sutra, will my Body Activation control be able to suppress the digestive capacity of my gastrointestinal tract? That way, I won't have to eat cement, right?

At this moment, Zhang Yu was trying to slow down the peristalsis of his stomach and intestines and reduce the secretion of digestive juices!

This was the first time he had made a similar attempt after raising the physical and mental abilities of the Remnant Ox to Level 20, greatly increasing its Body Activation!

Back when we were on the Layer 1, all we thought about was increasing our digestive capacity. We never imagined we'd have an excess of digestive capacity!

At this moment, Zhang Yu tried it slightly and felt his consciousness penetrate into his digestive system. The peristalsis of his gastrointestinal tract gradually slowed down, and the secretion of digestive juices also began to decrease!

"That really works." Zhang Yu sensed the changes in his body and was overjoyed. "Looks like I won't have to eat cement anymore!"

Fu Ji was also somewhat surprised, saying, "Your ' Abandoned Cow Self-Sacrifice Art' is quite powerful, and its application is incredibly wide!"

Meanwhile, Li Xiao, a Immortal Capital People, glanced at Zhang Yu and Yu Xinghan, who were silently cultivating, and thought to himself, "Hmph, do you think that just by working hard and cultivating diligently, you can succeed after reaching the Layer 2?"

"Months or years of arduous training are not as valuable as what you can get from the hands of a wealthy person at the Upper Level!"

Li Xiao, who had been squeezed next to Gongshu Jin, looked at the group discussing Gongshu Jin Dharma Skeleton and said with a smile, "Gongshu Jin, what brand of Eye Remains are you using? They look very unique!"

Gongshu Jin said calmly, "This is the Eye Remains of the Heaven's Eye!"

Li Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "The one from Tianyan Company? I also use Tianxian Company's Eye Remains!"

Gongshu Jin smiled disdainfully, looking at Li Xiao, who was eager to integrate into the group, without saying a word, seemingly too lazy to answer!

Ying Xin, standing to the side, chuckled, "Gongshu Jin, is that Heaven's Eye you're using a high-end model? I bet the cheapest one costs at least 10 Spirit Coin!"

Gongshu Jin said calmly, "More or less. Mine is fully equipped and cost about 12 Spirit Coin!"

The surrounding students all exclaimed in surprise and admiration!

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao swallowed hard. Looking into Gongshu Jin's eyes, he felt a mixture of envy and a sense that his own Eye Remains were becoming less presentable.

Just then, a flash appeared before their eyes, and a new Foundation Establishment Domain enveloped them!

Ji Yuan Shu Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Kunxu Sixth Layer, has entered within 100 meters of you. Please remain silent!

The classroom, which had been filled with lively discussions, fell silent instantly. Even Gongshu Jin, who had maintained an indifferent expression, sharpened his gaze and looked towards the classroom door, just like everyone else!
