As Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao silently prepared for their final exams, the vast majority of the audience in the stands shifted their attention away from the physical cultivation track.

After all, for these viewers watching remotely through the Spirit Realm Network, they were simultaneously observing the final rounds of all four cultivation paths in the first layer of Kunxu for the Foundation Establishment Exam.

Many university representatives, driven by their institutions’ specific interests and enrollment requirements, hadn’t paid much attention to the physical cultivation path, focusing mainly on the other paths.

And with Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao taking a temporary break, even those initially interested in the physical cultivation track naturally turned to the other arenas.

“The Dao Heart and Mana paths aren’t very exciting to watch!”

After glancing at the Dao Heart and Mana arenas, “Laughing Crying Emoji” decided to check out the Martial Dao arena.

“Among the Qi Refining stage’s Dao Heart, Mana, Physical, and Martial Dao paths, the most interesting exams seem to be the Physical and Martial Dao ones!”

“But the Physical Dao track has more viewers, since it suits a wider range of majors!”

“The Martial Dao path always tests combat skills, mainly related to security, weapons, warfare, and military affairs. Representatives from combat-oriented weapon crafting, Bone Forging, and medicine majors might also be interested!”

Just as “Laughing Crying Emoji” was thinking this, he glanced at the Martial Dao arena and was slightly surprised to see the match had already ended!

“That fast?”

Looking at the woman collapsed on the arena, almost completely dismembered, “Laughing Crying Emoji” curiously selected the rewind function.

The scene before him rapidly reversed, quickly playing from the very beginning of the match!

The arena, overseen by the distracted Huang Zichou, appeared. Then came the explanation of the exam content, the rules, and the candidates’ preparations.

Once everything was ready, Bai Zhenzhen and Yun Jing walked onto the stage from opposite sides.

This final Martial Dao exam would consist of a best-of-three series of arena battles!

After each arena battle, both candidates would receive unlimited medical insurance treatment!

And in each arena battle, the Divine Gods would save them before death!

This meant that in each of the three rounds, both sides could fight with their strongest, most desperate, and unrestrained attitude, unleashing their full combat potential!

In addition, various combat spirit roots and weapons were displayed on the side for both sides to freely choose.

However, neither Yun Jing nor Bai Zhenzhen borrowed any combat spirit roots!

Bai Zhenzhen did choose a Yuan Magnetic Vibration Sword. After injecting mana, the blade could vibrate at high frequencies, unleashing powerful destructive force!

Feeling the coldness from the hilt, Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, “I would never have been able to use this kind of enterprise-level magic item in the past.”

“And unlimited medical insurance after each round!” Bai Zhenzhen couldn’t help but crack a smile, thinking, “I’ve never fought such a well-funded battle in my life!”

As the countdown above the arena gradually reached zero!

Bai Zhenzhen suddenly raised her long sword and shouted, “University representatives in the audience, watch closely!”

She pointed her sword at Yun Jing and said, “I will defeat my opponent within one move!”

“Think carefully about what kind of conditions you should offer me!”

Yun Jing, on the other side of the arena, remained calm upon hearing these words, thinking to himself, “Just like when I fought Dai Xingzhi last time, is she trying to provoke me?”

“This woman really likes to use provocation!”

Yun Jing didn’t respond to Bai Zhenzhen’s provocation verbally. Instead, he responded with action the moment the countdown reached zero!

His double Dantian in his chest and lower abdomen activated simultaneously. Magma-like mana poured out continuously, transforming into a sweeping wall of fire with Yun Jing’s palm strike, engulfing Bai Zhenzhen’s location like a waterfall!

Three months ago, Bai Zhenzhen had been forced off the arena by this large-scale move, losing that exam.

But now, three months later, the move that Bai Zhenzhen once considered impossible to deal with was now full of flaws!

During this time, Bai Zhenzhen had experienced battle after battle in gang fights, witnessing the bottom-level cultivators of Yang City, all for money!

For killing, for business, for survival! They could create countless ingenious methods to fight!

It was in this continuous fighting that Bai Zhenzhen felt her true spiritual roots constantly adapting, making her feel that the Golden Class Gang experts were getting weaker and weaker, and their moves had more and more flaws!

She once thought that all the Qi Refining peak experts of the Golden Class Gang had been killed!

Later, she realized that it wasn’t that the Golden Class Gang had become weaker, but that she was getting stronger and stronger, increasingly able to discern the opponent’s flaws based on the changes in the spiritual energy in the air!

Just like at this moment, the seemingly impenetrable wall of fire had several weak points in her eyes!

With a flick of the long sword in her hand, Bai Zhenzhen had already passed through the wall of fire, walking towards Yun Jing!

“Here I come!”

Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly, and in the next moment, she shot towards Yun Jing like a bolt of lightning!

Yun Jing thought to himself, “The Myriad Swords No End Technique?”

Bai Zhenzhen’s attack was fast, but still didn’t escape Yun Jing’s observation. His eye magic item determined Bai Zhenzhen’s attack at almost the first moment, as well as possible follow-up moves, and the flaws in each move!

“I really can’t learn as many techniques in my three years of high school as a freak like Ye Lingxiao!”

“But the techniques I bought are definitely not less than him.”

The reason Yun Jing bought the copyright to various techniques was to store a large amount of technique data in his eye magic item, so that he could instantly determine the opponent’s moves and find the opponent’s flaws in battle!

To achieve this, the amount of money spent was obviously unimaginable for ordinary students!

Even Yun Jing spent a lot of time and energy on this!

After all, even though he came from a wealthy family, the money his family gave him wasn’t unlimited. If he wanted more money, he needed to earn it himself!
From his second year of elementary school, Yun Jing, encouraged by his father, had already embarked on the path of entrepreneurship. He still remembered his father’s words!

“There are two truths in this world that I must tell you!”

“First, while one can only begin cultivating the Immortal Path in high school, the pursuit of wealth can commence from the very moment a person is born!”

“Second, the pinnacle one can reach on the Immortal Path is determined by the wealth they command!”

“From these two truths, we can draw a conclusion!”

“The true cultivation of the Immortal Path, in fact, begins the very moment you are born!”

“Start earning, Yun Jing! The earlier you begin, the more you will earn. And the more you earn, the further you can journey on the Immortal Path!”

Yun Jing deeply resonated with his father’s words. Therefore, even in kindergarten, he had already begun investing, becoming an angel investor in several companies. By the time he was in second grade, he had founded his first company!

While his classmates were doing homework, he was burning the midnight oil, crafting reports! While his classmates were revising, he was presiding over late-night meetings!

While his classmates were grinding through practice tests, he was accompanying his employees through sleepless nights of overtime!

And upon entering Immortal Cloud High School, Yun Jing did not abandon this path!

“While others are practicing Qi circulation, I am earning money!”

“While others are engaging in combat practice, I am earning money!”

“While others are tempering their bodies, I am still earning money!”

“It is through such unwavering dedication, day after day, year after year, that I have reached where I am today!”

“I have been cultivating immortality since the tender age of five.”

Just like the past three months, Yun Jing’s cultivation was to continue earning money!

With both palms thrust forward, Yun Jing followed the guidance of his ocular artifact, striking towards the vulnerabilities in Bai Zhenzhen’s technique!

But in the next instant, he abruptly discovered Bai Zhenzhen’s unexpected change of stance, employing a fundamental sword art taught in high school!

Without time to ponder, Yun Jing swiftly adapted, altering his offensive!

Seeing this, a faint smile graced Bai Zhenzhen’s lips.

“Our battle, in truth, began half a year ago!”

Half a year ago, it was at the end of the second round of the Foundation Establishment Examination. It was then that Bai Zhenzhen identified her most formidable opponent on her path – the man before her!

Therefore, based on her observations, she began researching the type of ocular artifact he possessed, the martial skills he displayed, the secrets of his dual Dantians, and the meaning behind his unusual digestive and combat anomalies!

Bai Zhenzhen meticulously seized every opportunity for observation, coupled with diligent post-analysis, piecing together a comprehensive combat profile of her adversary!

Such as his ocular artifact!

Through relentless searches and comparisons on shopping websites, Bai Zhenzhen finally confirmed the model of his artifact!

“The Heavenly Eye Corporation’s enterprise-grade ocular artifact, usable even in the Qi Refining stage – ‘Heavenly Insight’!”

Bai Zhenzhen was intimately familiar with the data and performance of this ocular artifact!

She scoured the internet for reviews and evaluations, relentlessly consuming them, even sending private messages to review bloggers and online influencers, inquiring about intricate details, sparing no expense in rewarding them!

Through this process, Bai Zhenzhen had gained an unparalleled understanding of the artifact!

“The greatest weakness of ‘Heavenly Insight’ lies in its rigid spirit!”

“When I execute the fundamental sword art, because this sword art is too simple and widespread, its vulnerabilities are already common knowledge. Thus, ‘Heavenly Insight’s’ method of countering it can be predicted!”

To Bai Zhenzhen, when she unleashed this basic sword move, she already knew how her opponent would react, essentially predicting her opponent’s next move!

Bai Zhenzhen did not evade, nor did she choose to block!

Instead, with the prior knowledge of the attack, she opted to endure the engulfing flames and severe burns on half of her body, seizing the opportunity to thrust her sword towards her opponent’s body!

With a thud, Bai Zhenzhen, reeking of charred flesh, knelt heavily on the ground!

Simultaneously, with a soft ‘噗嗤’ sound, the lightning-infused sword pierced into Yun Jing’s shoulder!

However, Yun Jing remained nonchalant: “With my body-protecting art, coupled with my combat spirit root, her sword will never break through…”

In the next instant, the minuscule wound on Yun Jing’s shoulder, stimulated by spiritual energy, suddenly expanded violently, gushing forth torrents of blood like a fountain, accelerating his body’s collapse!

“What?”

Yun Jing looked at the scene in disbelief, unable to comprehend how his physique, outsourced to hundreds of college students and refined through countless trials, could be breached by such a light sword stroke!

After the battle, after three months of investigation, Yun Jing learned that several college graduates, upon receiving his outsourced project, further outsourced it to a group of vocational school graduates!

And one of these vocational school graduates had subcontracted the work to a high school student!

It was due to the negligence of that high school student that Yun Jing’s body possessed a trace of vulnerability!

And this trace of vulnerability was detected by Bai Zhenzhen, allowing her to overcome his body-protecting art!

At this moment, on the stage, with a soft ‘唰’ sound, the Chang sword, exploiting this bursting weakness, nearly cleaved Yun Jing’s body in half!

It was at this instant that the deities intervened, rescuing both Yun Jing and Bai Zhenzhen!

While Bai Zhenzhen was severely wounded, Yun Jing suffered a fatal injury that almost claimed his life!

First round, Bai Zhenzhen wins!

After being fully healed, Bai Zhenzhen, standing on the stage for the second round, looked at Yun Jing with a face of arrogance, and said faintly, “I told you I could defeat you in one move!”

Looking at Bai Zhenzhen’s lofty demeanor, Yun Jing had to admit that he was indeed somewhat provoked by her!

And this anger was tinged with a sense of unease, a tension born from not knowing how she managed to penetrate his body-protecting art!

Thus, as soon as the second round began, Yun Jing unleashed his full power, giving his opponent no chance to get close!

Relying on the frantic output from his twin Dantians, Yun Jing transformed the entire stage into a sea of flames, completely denying Bai Zhenzhen any opportunity to approach him!
Under his relentless, torrential assault, Bai Zhenzhen struggled for over ten minutes before finally being forced off the dueling platform!

After that second battle, Yun Jing regained his confidence. He knew that his raw power was ultimately superior to his opponent’s. As long as he performed steadily and didn’t fall for her petty tricks, he couldn’t possibly lose!

“Now it’s one win and one loss!”

Yun Jing thought inwardly, “As long as I win this final match, I’ll obtain the Foundation Establishment qualification!”

But as the third match began, Bai Zhenzhen once again pointed her sword towards the heavens, addressing the audience, “Everyone, watch closely!”

“This match is already over!”

“I will still defeat him with a single sword strike!”

“My university goal is only the Top Ten!”

“Prepare your competitive offers to recruit me!”
