Another minor deity said, “Meng Tao is swallowing very quickly, but without the gluttony spiritual root to assist, relying solely on his physical body, he simply can’t digest it all. He’ll only eat slower and slower.”

Huang Zichou said, “Indeed, this round is about eating and digesting simultaneously. Swallowing fast is useless. The key is who can digest faster.”

As they spoke, Dai Xingzhi suddenly stood up, touched his bulging abdomen, and asked, “Examiner, where are the restrooms?”

Accompanied by a burst of light, more than a dozen restroom doors were illuminated in a previously inconspicuous area on the side of the examination hall.

Dai Xingzhi took a deep breath. The next moment, his muscles bulged, and he shot towards the restroom.

In the first second, he rushed into the restroom.

In the second second, a series of loud noises came from inside.

In the third second, he walked out of the restroom while fastening his pants.

He completed everything in just three seconds.

Such astonishing speed, powerful digestive system, and digestive ability instantly shocked many students.

*To be able to eliminate so quickly, what powerful physique does one possess!*

Looking at his 10th place ranking, Dai Xingzhi returned to his seat, picked up a large bucket of synthetic food, and began to devour it again.

He thought to himself, “Hmph, many students don’t seem to realize that appetite represents a strong person’s metabolism and digestive ability.”

“And digestion… is not just about swallowing the food.”

Meng Tao, not far away, was startled by this scene. “Crap!”

As a long-term user of the gluttony spiritual root, Meng Tao was usually the kind of student who could become stronger even by eating excrement.

To become stronger, he spent a lot of time eating every day.

This gave him a stomach and intestines that were more adaptable to massive food intake, allowing him to swallow more food in a short period.

But without the gluttony spiritual root, he couldn’t digest food as quickly as usual.

Because he had relied too much on the gluttony spiritual root in the past… he found that his digestive ability lacked training and might be inferior to other students.

Watching several other students rush towards the restrooms, while his own stomach felt nothing, Meng Tao became increasingly anxious.

“Damn it!”

“Right now, I don’t even feel the slightest urge to defecate.”

“How am I supposed to win like this?”

“How can I possibly win?”

Watching himself drop to 5th place in the blink of an eye and begin to fall to 6th, Meng Tao felt a sense of helplessness.

At the same time, another person in the examination hall felt this sense of urgency.

Zhang Yu frowned, thinking, “Damn it, rich people have stronger physical bodies… are they even faster at going to the bathroom than poor people? This world is too unfair!”

With the circulation of the Scarlet Marrow Primordial Qi, Zhang Yu’s stomach and intestines were like a giant millstone, rapidly grinding down the synthetic food he swallowed.

Although the synthetic food made him want to vomit, he still managed to reach a good position of 17th.

But as the amount of food residue in his stomach increased, the digestive efficiency of his intestines decreased, and Zhang Yu’s eating speed gradually slowed down.

Not only did he fall to 18th place in the blink of an eye, but he was also getting closer and closer to 19th place.

Watching his ranking become precarious and feeling the increasing pressure, Zhang Yu didn’t panic. Instead, he decided to observe how his opponents were doing.

He turned to look at the 19th place contestant chasing behind him to see how they were doing.

He discovered that it was Li Tongyun, number 36, whom he had competed with in the previous round.

He saw that while Li Tongyun was swallowing synthetic food in large gulps, a layer of milky white viscous substance began to appear on her body surface. It rapidly evaporated under her intense body heat, leaving behind patches of white marks.

Huang Zichou commented, “This must be a digestive system modification surgery that allows the use of sweat glands to metabolize waste.”

Another minor deity said, “Normally, this kind of milky white substance shouldn’t be excreted.”

“In this state, the protein content in her sweat is probably too high, even forming a surface tension that makes it very viscous.”

Huang Zichou said, “In simple terms, she can’t digest that much protein and is in a state of indigestion.”

“Then, in order to eat further, she chose to excrete waste in an undigested state, which is also known as…”

Deng Bingding said, “Diarrhea.”

Does diarrhea count as cheating? All the deities present looked at Deng Bingding, waiting for the chief examiner’s ruling.

Deng Bingding pondered for a moment and said, “It can also be considered a manifestation of physical control, so let’s go by the ranking.”

After eating a large bucket of synthetic food, Li Tongyun looked at her ranking, which had risen to 18th place, and felt a burst of elation.

She thought, “Fortunately, I had this digestive tract modification surgery when I was rich before. I should be able to rank in the top twenty in this round.”

“If I keep going, focus on eating, and don’t have to worry about going to the bathroom, I might be able to squeeze a few more places forward.”

Watching Li Tongyun eating and having diarrhea at the same time, Zhang Yu knew he couldn’t learn this trick.

Falling to 19th place also made him feel an even greater challenge and pressure.

But he still didn’t panic, didn’t act rashly, and continued to observe other contestants, looking for inspiration and solutions.

“Damn, what’s wrong with Ah Zhen?”

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen’s frantically swelling belly, Zhang Yu was stunned at first, then reacted, “This guy’s Lightning Tribulation True Body has been tempered to be extremely resilient in order to adapt to high speed.”

“Relying on this amazing resilience, she’s just filling her stomach with food like this? She’s giving up on high-speed digestion?”

Looking at her 20th place ranking, Zhang Yu felt worried for her but couldn’t do anything to help.

Then Zhang Yu looked at Yu Xinghan in 16th place and found that his belly was swelling and contracting, making croaking sounds.

Huang Zichou said in the deities’ network, “This Yu Xinghan is using Great Toad Qi? He even cultivated such a technique specifically for digestion?”

Deng Bingding commented, “After all, he’s a Core Formation disciple. Although Yu Xinghan isn’t outstanding in any particular aspect, he’s very well-rounded, with almost no weaknesses. It’s like eating. Many students don’t take it seriously and think that as long as they eat well, that’s enough.”

“But in fact, having a physical cultivation technique specifically to aid digestion allows one to obtain more physical nourishment with every meal, which is a little ahead of others.”

“Over time, this becomes a terrifying difference.”

Zhang Yu couldn’t understand what Yu Xinghan was doing, so he simply turned his gaze to Yun Jing, who was ranked second, to see what the top high school student from the Immortal Capital was doing.

He saw that while Yun Jing was constantly pouring food into the large hole in his chest, his entire body was red, and the surrounding air appeared slightly distorted by the high temperature.

In the waves of heat, streams of black smoke kept spewing out of his mouth and pores, leaving Zhang Yu dumbfounded.

Huang Zichou said, “This Yun Jing’s digestive system is amazing. It’s like an alchemy furnace. All the food he swallows is refined by the high temperature in his stomach, and impurities are discharged as smoke.”

“As long as he’s willing, he can keep eating until he runs out of energy.”

“As expected, these top students don’t need to go to the bathroom.”

Another minor deity said beside him, “That’s not necessarily true. Look at Ye Lingxiao.”

Ye Lingxiao was still maintaining his initial eating state. Having transformed into a little giant, he was devouring the synthetic food in the bucket in large gulps, and he didn’t seem to have changed at all. Even his stomach hadn’t gotten any bigger.

The minor deity said, “The Ye family’s perfect bloodline allows for almost perfect absorption of food, leaving very little food residue after each meal.”

“It is said that they only need to go to the bathroom once a year.”

“The energy and time saved alone are the envy of countless people.”

“Hehe, I wonder how many people want to study the wonders of their bloodline every year.”

Zhang Yu couldn’t understand Yun Jing’s smoke-spewing operation, but he had an idea about Ye Lingxiao’s motionless, silent eating state.

“Although this guy has grown a size, his food intake has obviously far exceeded his stomach capacity… Could it be that he’s holding it in?”

The more Zhang Yu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, especially with the pressure澎湃 right now. He felt that his brain was working faster and faster, and he was having a burst of inspiration.

“If he can hold it in, so can I.”

So Zhang Yu suddenly stimulated his intestines, trying to compress the volume of the food residue to make more room for continued eating.

At first, this seemed to work, which made Zhang Yu slightly excited.

But soon, as he ate more, Zhang Yu realized that the space he had opened up was quickly being filled again.

“No, relying solely on the power of the intestines is not enough.”

“Then…”

Zhang Yu suddenly slammed his palm on his belly. With a crashing sound, the terrifying palm force penetrated his skin and intestines, directly hitting the food he had swallowed.

Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm level 10 activated!

At this moment, Zhang Yu was slamming his own body with palm after palm, actually using the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm to aid digestion!

This scene quickly attracted the attention of other students around him.

Meng Tao, who had fallen to ninth place, was stunned at first, then slightly delighted: “There’s such a method?”

He hurriedly followed suit, slapping his own belly with one palm after another.

At first, the palm force did crush and compress the food, speeding up his eating speed.

But soon, he felt a faint pain in his internal organs, which was difficult to bear.

“I can’t do it…” Meng Tao couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhang Yu: “How strong are this guy’s internal organs? Can he keep going like this?”

And Zhang Yu was now completely immersed in his self-tempering.

With his full concentration, every piece of flesh, every bone, and every organ in his body was so clear.

With every palm he struck, his body was like countless experts working together, constantly pulling, shifting, and deflecting the force, transferring most of the palm force to the food in his body.

At this moment, in his stomach, the intestinal walls and stomach walls seemed to have added one palm print after another, fiercely striking the swallowed food.

“Crush… compress…”

“Crush again… compress again…”

One level 10 martial art after another, coupled with the physical control he had gained from past breakthroughs… All of this was now being used by Zhang Yu to deal with himself.

“Hmph, in terms of magical power control, I haven’t made much progress for a long time.”

“But if it comes to physical control skills, even these Immortal Capital elites here… probably few are stronger than me.”

At this moment, relying on his powerful physical control, Zhang Yu greatly improved his digestive ability to a level that surpassed his own physical strength.
