As Zhang Yu’s steps grew heavier, his entire body seemed to swell, releasing waves of heat.

With each step he took, his muscles expanded, as if inflated with air.

*Bang, bang, bang, bang…*

Nine steps in a row, the Level 10 expert-level technique, “Whale Tendon Nine Transformations,” was fully activated, transforming Zhang Yu into a gigantic whale leaping from the sea. His Qi and blood surged wildly, and his height soared to 2.8 meters!

Simultaneously, the Level 10 “Blood Changing Grand Art,” Level 10 “Five Qi Organ Refining Art,” Level 10 “Township Dharma Primordial Body,” and Level 10 “Kan Ice Li Fire Body Tempering Grand Art,” all the body refinement techniques were pushed to their limits, mobilizing every ounce of Zhang Yu’s physical power!

As his physical power was unleashed in a frenzy, the Xuan Armor Spiritual Root, still in testing mode, seemed to be stimulated, and its power output began to surge!

When the power exceeded 10, the Spiritual Qi Field activated, and Zhang Yu felt a faint connection with the Spiritual Qi within a radius of several tens of meters. It was as if a single punch could reach any corner within that area!

The moment the power exceeded 30, the Xuan Armor Dharma Shield instantly activated, forming a layer of light that enveloped Zhang Yu’s body!

The power continued to rise.

This was not the limit. Sensing the intense activity of Zhang Yu’s body, the Spiritual Root’s power could still be increased!

As the Spiritual Root’s power continued to grow, Zhang Yu didn’t stop. He directly activated the second layer of the Martial Dao Saint Embryo’s ability: Overload.

The Qi and blood within him seemed to ignite at that moment, exploding with a roar. The Qi and blood surged like a tsunami, erupted like a volcano.

With the activation of the Overload ability, every muscle, organ, and meridian in Zhang Yu’s body entered a state of overload!

Correspondingly, under the overload of the body, every technique in operation was forcibly elevated, reaching a level beyond its original limit!

Cracking sounds echoed from within Zhang Yu’s body, and his height, already at 2.8 meters, suddenly expanded again, soaring to a massive 3.3 meters!

With a resounding roar, the blood flow, driven by the Level 10 “Blood Changing Grand Art,” accelerated again, surging through Zhang Yu’s veins like a raging landslide!

The Level 10 “Five Qi Organ Refining Art,” under the state of overload, operated the internal organs with unprecedented intensity, like fuel, unleashing the power of the organs like never before!

And the Level 10 “Kan Ice Li Fire Body Tempering Grand Art,” under overload, continuously increased the temperature, raising Zhang Yu’s body temperature again and again, evaporating his sweat and creating layers of white mist around his body!

This state of overload instantly caused the Spiritual Root’s power to skyrocket.

The moment the Spiritual Root’s power surpassed 60, a burst of light exploded in Zhang Yu’s eyes. He felt as if the Spiritual Qi in the air suddenly had color. He could even see the traces left behind in the air as the Spiritual Qi followed his movements and the operation of the Spiritual Root!

Huang Zichou exclaimed, “After the Spiritual Root breaks through 60 power, it can activate the Spiritual Qi Detection function, scanning opponents, detecting enemy traces, and observing martial arts and Daoist techniques by detecting changes in the Spiritual Qi in the air!”

Before Huang Zichou could finish speaking, Zhang Yu’s Spiritual Root’s power continued to surge, reaching 85.11 in the blink of an eye!

With a soft hum!

Strands of Spiritual Qi gathered behind Zhang Yu’s head, first transforming into a crimson halo. Then, as the halo rotated, it emitted waves of heat and whistling sounds, gradually turning into a fire dragon!

Huang Zichou hurriedly introduced, “90 power! It can activate the Xuan Armor Fire Dragon, condensing the Yang Spiritual Qi in the atmosphere to form a fire dragon with thousands of degrees of heat!”

“The temperature of the Fire Dragon is condensed and controlled, and the power is controllable. The dragon moves at will!” With a slight thought, the Xuan Armor Fire Dragon flew around him!

He could feel that the Fire Dragon was like a part of his body, able to fly flexibly around him according to his thoughts, hitting wherever he wanted!

While Zhang Yu’s Spiritual Root power was skyrocketing, Ye Lingxiao, who was beside him, started to catch up after his initial surprise!

“Good, good, good! This is the opponent that a Foundation Establishment Exam should have. My preparations during this period have not been in vain!”

One after another body refinement techniques were launched by Ye Lingxiao without hesitation. His Spiritual Root’s power did not surge as quickly as Zhang Yu’s, but it never stopped, steadily increasing step by step!

However, when he saw Zhang Yu activate his Overload ability and the Spiritual Root’s power surged again, even Ye Lingxiao, the pride of the Immortal Metropolis, changed his expression slightly at that moment!

He had never seen such power, such might, on any high school student from the Immortal Metropolis except himself.

“This guy, he wasn’t giving up by slowly taking the medicine just now. He was preparing!”

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Ye Lingxiao’s mouth. “Very well, defeating such a powerful enemy in front of so many university representatives will highlight my value!”

With that, Ye Lingxiao took out a box of capsules from his pocket!

It was the Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule, which he had participated in the research and development process for in the past three months!

Of course, the name of the medicine had now changed to “Spiritual Schism”!

Once the capsule entered his stomach, it was quickly absorbed and digested by Ye Lingxiao, turning into a surge of medicinal power that slammed into his brain!

At the same time, the mental technique in his mind transformed and began to operate a mental technique specifically designed for the Spiritual Schism!

Ever since he sensed the strange side effects of the Dao Dissolution Sustained Release Capsule during the last Foundation Establishment Exam, Ye Lingxiao had become extremely interested!

In the time since then, he had participated in the research and development of this medicine, wanting to use its side effects to further develop his own potential!

The bad news was that the side effects were extremely difficult to use and develop, and it was still impossible to commercialize it!

The good news was that Ye Lingxiao’s operation of many Level 10 techniques could use this medicine to bring his body to an ultra-extreme state!

The moment the medicinal power slammed into his brain, Ye Lingxiao felt as if his thoughts had split into two, or as if there was another self in his brain!

But both were him, both were Ye Lingxiao. With the operation of the targeted mental technique, they jointly controlled Ye Lingxiao’s body!

“I have mastered more techniques than anyone in the entire first level of Kunxu!”

“But no matter how many techniques there are, with my Dao heart and thoughts, the number I can operate at the same time is always limited!”

So many techniques, like a vast sea, were mastered in Ye Lingxiao’s body, like his Immortal Dao potential, always limited in its manifestation!

“But when I have an extra layer of thinking, when there is another me in my mind!”

At that moment, different parts of Ye Lingxiao’s body began to operate different techniques!

Muscles, fascia, bones, organs, the number of techniques he operated at once doubled!

This allowed every part of his body to operate more suitable techniques, unleashing his physical potential in a more refined way!

This Spiritual Schism might be a poison to others!

But to Ye Lingxiao, it was a divine medicine that could release the countless techniques within him!

This mobilization of physical power directly stimulated the Spiritual Root’s power to skyrocket repeatedly. Following Zhang Yu, Ye Lingxiao’s Spiritual Root’s power also surpassed 90!

In the dazzling light, a fire dragon was born from the Spiritual Qi, hovering above Ye Lingxiao’s head like a fiery crown!

But looking at the somewhat dazed look on Ye Lingxiao’s face, Huang Zichou frowned and said, “Ye Lingxiao, are you alright?”

Ye Lingxiao laughed and said, “What could be wrong with me? Just taking some medicine. I definitely won’t have any problems! I just have a little problem with my brain. After all, I took the medicine. How could there be a problem?”

Although the Spiritual Schism could greatly stimulate Ye Lingxiao’s potential, because the brain had to have an extra layer of thinking to control the body, it made Ye Lingxiao’s brainpower in other aspects slightly insufficient!

Huang Zichou frowned. Although he didn’t understand what the other party was saying, it didn’t affect his competition, so he didn’t care anymore!

As Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao’s Spiritual Root powers both surpassed 90, the speed of their increase gradually slowed down!

The two looked at each other, their fighting spirit erupting, with both excitement and tension!

Zhang Yu: “This guy has indeed improved a lot compared to three months ago.”

Ye Lingxiao: “Who is this guy? In any case, no one can surpass me.”

With intense fighting spirit, the two began to mobilize their physical strength even further!

Zhang Yu roared, and all the idle flesh and blood in his body began to operate the “Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm”!

Ye Lingxiao sucked in his cheeks, showing a trace of scarlet red, and displayed an unparalleled explosive fist technique!

95.61… the limit!

Under the Overload mode, dark wounds were constantly appearing in Zhang Yu’s body. Microscopic cracks appeared in his bones, slight damage appeared in his internal organs, and extremely fine inflammations erupted in his muscles!

But soon, under the effect of the Martial Dao Saint Embryo, these minor injuries were constantly being healed!

He was like an engine running in overload, being repaired while rushing forward!

Zhang Yu roared in his heart, “I want to become stronger, I want to become richer, I want to have freedom!”

“I want to go to the top ten with Zhen and my sister!”

“I must win the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate!”

Ye Lingxiao’s perfect bloodline was forced to its limit like never before. Under the secretion of various hormones, his body suppressed all pain and injuries, constantly erupting with his own limit!

He could no longer organize his thoughts, but only one idea became more and more intense, more and more exciting!

If someone were to summarize it, it would probably be: “I don’t want to rot in the first level of Kunxu!”

“Representatives from various universities!”

“All of you, open your eyes and see clearly!”

“As geniuses of the first level of Kunxu, our aptitude, our will! Will never lose to those guys above!”

As the Spiritual Root powers of the two reached 100 in succession, two gusts of wind almost simultaneously erupted from their bodies, circling at their feet!

Huang Zichou said lightly, “Xuan Armor Divine Wind! The ability after the Xuan Armor Spiritual Root reaches 100 power! It allows people to glide at low altitude, move at high speed, and can also cooperate with the Xuan Armor Fire Dragon to launch a wind and fire offensive!”

But Huang Zichou could feel that few of the audience members were listening to him explain the effects of the Xuan Armor Spiritual Root!

The representatives of the various universities were all looking at the two figures on the exam field with burning eyes!
