As the mana meridian injection was pushed into his body, Zhang Yu felt the mana within him, which was already circulating relentlessly day and night, becoming even more ferocious.

Under the fierce absorption of the Great Sun Qi Sea, the surrounding spiritual energy surged in like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, eventually transforming into strands of mana within Zhang Yu’s dantian!

“Alas, it’s a pity I don’t have a spiritual root. If I did, and if I were also in a spiritual vein… I could probably push my mana to the 100-unit limit of the Qi Refining stage today!”

At the same time, Zhang Yu could feel the meridians in his body twitching slightly, his heart racing, and his breathing becoming more rapid!

“Is this a side effect of the mana meridian injection? It’s a little different from the Faux Phoenix Essence. It seems to put more strain on the respiratory and circulatory systems.”

“Indeed, different types of elixirs place burdens on different areas of the body.”

Therefore, to gain higher scores and cultivate more comprehensively during this buffet, one should take more different types of elixirs, making full use of the body’s different areas of endurance!

“Dao Heart, mana, and physical strength – elixirs that affect these three areas can all be taken. This will not only distribute the side effects but also comprehensively enhance my strength!”

Although he felt the burden on his body increase, Zhang Yu didn’t stop. Instead, he continued to twist his body and cultivate the Boundless Spring and Autumn Chan, constantly enhancing his physical strength!

Because he knew very well that such a free, buffet-style elixir opportunity was too rare!

“The total buffet time is only one hour!”

“In this one hour, I must seize the time to cultivate and not waste the efficacy of the elixirs in my body as much as possible!”

Thus, under the effects of the Great Sun Qi Sea and the Boundless Spring and Autumn Chan, the mana meridian injection and Faux Phoenix Essence were fully utilized, constantly improving Zhang Yu’s cultivation efficiency and accelerating the growth of his mana and physical strength!

Night Lingxiao, watching Zhang Yu inject the mana meridian injection, also followed suit without showing any weakness!

Feeling the medicinal power entering his body, his blood, meridians, and mana all seemed to be boiling. Night Lingxiao knew that, in the short term, his ability to withstand the mana meridian injection had reached its temporary limit!

He tried his best to control the muscles throughout his body, preventing them from convulsing violently, and thought to himself, “If I use another elixir next, I should choose the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule or the Faux Phoenix Essence!”

“After I digest some of these elixirs…”

So, in the next few minutes, Night Lingxiao continued to circulate the Boundless Spring and Autumn Chan to digest the medicinal power while thinking about which elixir to take next. But before he could finally make a choice, he saw Zhang Yu on the other side, after a round of digestion, grabbing another mana meridian injection and injecting it into his body. Seeing this scene, Night Lingxiao’s eyelids twitched: “This guy…”

Faced with Zhang Yu’s lead once again, Night Lingxiao, the Immortal Capital prodigy who had always been number one since childhood and had to monopolize the top spot in every exam, naturally couldn’t accept defeat. He took a deep breath, grabbed the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule, and swallowed one.

In an instant, he felt all the negative emotions in his heart suppressed, and even the pain caused by the side effects in his body was largely eliminated!

Feeling this, Night Lingxiao was overjoyed: “Sure enough, this Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule can effectively relieve my tension and reduce the mental impact of the elixir’s side effects!”

“Taking this elixir first will allow me to perform better in the upcoming exam!”

“But what are the adverse reactions of this elixir?”

“I don’t feel anything? Could it be that this elixir has no adverse reactions? But it’s unlikely that it has none!”

So, a few minutes later, when Zhang Yu injected himself with another mana meridian injection and also consumed a Faux Phoenix Essence, Night Lingxiao directly followed up with two Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsules. The scores of the two people reached as high as 900 points simultaneously after half an hour into the exam!

Zhang Yu’s mana and body also improved in this process, reaching 97 mana and 9.90 levels of physical strength, respectively, a step closer to the limit of the Qi Refining stage!

And watching the high scores of the two people, the other examinees, whether it was Yu Xinghan or Meng Tao, were shocked!

Although they themselves didn’t take so many fierce elixirs, just thinking about the terrifying medicinal power contained in Zhang Yu and Night Lingxiao’s bodies at this moment made them feel a kind of awe!

Yu Xinghan looked deeply at Zhang Yu: “This kid, sure enough, has kept up with the rhythm of the top Immortal Capital scions? It seems that he also hid his strength when selling seeds in the Red Tower. If this guy takes elixirs while producing, his output will definitely far exceed me!”

Just then, Zhang Yu grabbed a Dragon Elephant Potion and injected it into his body!

Night Lingxiao’s eyes narrowed as he watched this scene, and a glimmer of light seemed to flash within them, “Dragon Elephant Potion? Using the Dragon Elephant Potion to temporarily surpass me?”

Watching this scene, Night Lingxiao felt as if he saw an opponent at an auction who had no balance left, adding 100 spirit stones just to surpass him!

“Has this guy reached his limit?”

“And until now, he hasn’t taken the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule. Is he afraid of its unclear side effects?”

“If that’s the case, then I’m going to win this exam.”

Night Lingxiao grabbed a Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule, and some determination flashed in his eyes!

Although until now, he still didn’t know what the adverse reactions of this Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule were, he could sense that his body hadn’t reached its limit yet!

“The first place is always me, and can only be me!”

Standing at the pinnacle, always monopolizing the top spot, always seizing the first place, this was not only the concept that Night Lingxiao had been educated with since childhood but also the ancestral motto passed down through generations of the Night Clan!

“In this Kunxu, as long as you don’t become the first, then whether it’s a powerful family or a genius, there will always be a day when you are eliminated!”

Thinking of the Night Clan’s generations of diligent governance, gradually approaching the goal of becoming the strongest noble clan on the first level of Kunxu, Night Lingxiao felt a surge of excitement in his heart!

Especially thinking that after this year’s Foundation Establishment exam, the clan would use him after the Foundation Establishment stage to promote the perfect bloodline, which would also cause the news of the high school Foundation Establishment exam to be known by more and more people, this was both an ambition and a confidence!

Only because the Night Clan and several other allied Immortal Capital noble clans believed that the average wealth and strength of the Immortal Capital noble clans had far exceeded that of other local forces on the first level of Kunxu, and no other local forces could threaten them!

The Foundation Establishment exam no longer needed to be concealed. Instead, the recipients of the Foundation Establishment qualification certificate each year could be used for promotion, bolstering the expansion of the company’s business and facilitating their infiltration into other cities!

Thinking that the Night Clan was about to break through the Immortal Capital and begin to expand towards the entire first level of Kunxu, Night Lingxiao felt even more of a heroic spirit after generations of struggle!

“As an Immortal Capital scion of the Night Clan, how could I lose here to a foreigner?”

Night Lingxiao opened his mouth and swallowed another Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule!

On the other side, Zhang Yu had been observing Night Lingxiao’s reaction after taking the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule. The reason why he hadn’t taken this elixir all along was because of the still unclear adverse reactions!

But Zhang Yu hadn’t completely given up on taking this elixir. Instead, he wanted to observe Night Lingxiao, see his reaction after taking the elixir, and then determine whether he should take this elixir himself!

“Having the High School Sacred Body, my ability to metabolize elixirs must surpass Night Lingxiao!”

“As long as Night Lingxiao can hold on, I will definitely be able to hold on too!”

In Zhang Yu’s observation, Night Lingxiao’s muscles were swelling and congested, his face was turning purple, and a small bump was rising on the top of his head!

“Seems alright, I should be able to handle it!”

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhang Yu looked at Night Lingxiao and saw that other than the bump on his head being a little more swollen, there were no major problems. He also decided to try this Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule!

And watching Zhang Yu pick up a Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule, Night Lingxiao snorted coldly and said, “You still won’t give up?”

He murmured, “I’ll catch up to you soon. Once I eat this Faux Phoenix Essence, you won’t be able to catch up to me!”

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, looked at the elixir in his hand, and said, “Are you holding the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule?”

Night Lingxiao smiled slightly and said, “Take another Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule? The side effects of this elixir are indeed fierce, I can’t take it again! But the side effects of this elixir are actually nothing. Once I eat this Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule, I will completely suppress you!”

Listening to Night Lingxiao’s words, Zhang Yu was immediately shocked. Was the other party speaking human language? Was there a problem with his own understanding, or was there a problem with the other party?

“Could this be the side effect of the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule?”

“Could it be a decrease in intelligence?”

Yu Xinghan, Meng Tao, and the others also heard Night Lingxiao’s incoherent words and looked at Night Lingxiao with some surprise!

It was at this time that Huang Zichou suddenly called a stop to the exam!

Huang Zichou said, “Player number 23 (Night Lingxiao) is currently experiencing some physical conditions and needs to pause for two minutes!”

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Is he going to treat Night Lingxiao? These True Gods still have some conscience, thinking about the health and safety of the examinees!”

Huang Zichou continued, “Next, all examinees will sign a contract with me to keep confidential the reactions of player number 23 after taking the Dao Dissolution Slow-Release Capsule, and will not disclose any negative information about this product in the future!”

“Damn it…”

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, “Pausing the exam is because he wants to keep the side effects of this elixir a secret for the company?”
