This first test is to determine the relative strength and potential of Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao’s physical bodies by using the Profound Armor Spiritual Root testing mode.

Originally, the distinction was to be made based on the final power achieved by the Profound Armor Spiritual Root. However, both Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao surprisingly pushed the power of the Divine Spiritual Root to 100% within the testing mode.

The internal communication network of the five Divine Examiners became lively at once.

One minor deity said, “I thought the Heavenly Spiritual Root’s limit was too low to distinguish between them, so we brought in the Divine Spiritual Root. Who would have thought these two could raise the Profound Armor Spiritual Root’s power to 100%!”

Another minor deity said, “Both of their Profound Armor Spiritual Roots are at 100% power. How do we determine the winner of this round?”

“We can’t just ask for the Immortal Spiritual Root, right? That’s for members of the Ten Great Sects. I don’t think the higher-ups would agree to issue it for a Foundation Establishment exam…”

Just as the minor deities were feeling indecisive, one of them exclaimed, “Based on Ye Lingxiao’s performance in the previous round, I thought that even with further improvement, he’d only raise the Divine Spiritual Root’s power to eighty or ninety percent at most!”

“Who would have thought that in three months, he could make further progress, developing his physical body to such an extent!”

Huang Zichou nodded slightly in agreement, analyzing, “Developing a physical body to Ye Lingxiao’s level during the Qi Refining stage, it should be incredibly difficult to improve even slightly further!”

Just then, Chief Examiner Deng Bingding said calmly, “If it were only the development of muscles, fascia, bones, and internal organs, then yes, it would become increasingly difficult to progress as one approaches the Qi Refining limit!”

“However, this kid Ye Lingxiao has improved his brain this time!”

Huang Zichou was stunned. “His brain?”

He recalled Ye Lingxiao’s incoherent speech earlier and thought, “Is that what you call brain improvement?”

Deng Bingding, looking in Ye Lingxiao’s direction, continued in the internal network, “Ye Lingxiao has a perfect bloodline, so he learns any cultivation art extremely quickly!”

“But no matter how many cultivation arts one learns, the number a person can utilize simultaneously is limited!”

“However, the number of cultivation arts he utilized simultaneously just now far exceeded his previous performance, doubling it!”

“This indicates that his brainpower and thinking have been further developed, which is why the number of cultivation arts he can activate simultaneously has increased!”

“It’s precisely because most of his brainpower is used to activate cultivation arts that other aspects have declined, such as his language organization ability…”

Upon hearing this, the other righteous deities’ eyes flickered. The physical body naturally includes the brain!

However, people who can develop their brains and improve their thinking during the Qi Refining stage are extremely rare in the first layer of Kunxu. They didn’t expect it to happen to Ye Lingxiao!

One minor deity said, “Although they both reached 100% power, Ye Lingxiao has managed to improve his brainpower and thinking during the Qi Refining stage. His development of the physical body is clearly more impressive, and he has a brighter future in Foundation Establishment!”

Another minor deity chimed in, “I think this round should be considered his victory!”

Huang Zichou had a different opinion: “Didn’t you see that Ye Lingxiao only achieved this with the help of pills?”

“And Zhang Yu’s continuous bursts just now, can’t you see their value?”

Recalling Zhang Yu’s growth from 2.8 meters to 3.3 meters, Huang Zichou said with emotion, “He clearly used the Whale Tendon Nine Transformations technique!”

“Given his physique and physical strength, his first surge in size should have been his limit!”

“But he broke through that limit later on. What does that mean?”

“And look at the other cultivation arts he used. It’s the same for all of them!”

“Clearly, the same cultivation arts have a higher upper limit when he uses them!”

Having lived for countless years as a righteous deity, the examiners present had either heard of or seen similar situations!

Some cultivation arts, in the hands of certain people, can break the norm and be more powerful and effective than when used by others!

And Zhang Yu clearly possesses this extremely rare physical talent!

Huang Zichou continued, “Plus, you can all see how much Zhang Yu has improved from his first registration to this final round of exams!”

“With such talent and such potential, I think his future is far greater than Ye Lingxiao’s if he successfully establishes his foundation!”

Someone immediately retorted, “Innate physical talent is nothing special. Are there few talented students who can establish their foundation above?”

“It is Ye Lingxiao’s ability to explore methods to improve his brainpower and wisdom in the first layer that is more promising!”

Another righteous deity said, “Zhang Yu can still take the exam next year, but Ye Lingxiao is in his last term!”

While the righteous deities were arguing over the outcome of this round, the numerous university representatives in the audience were also watching Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, offering their comments!

A vocational college teacher said, “Write down the names of these two students. As soon as the Foundation Establishment exam is over, find a way to contact them! As long as we can recruit either of them, our college will have one more Foundation Establishment graduate.”

His colleague was not optimistic: “How could students like that take vocational college?”

The vocational college teacher said, “What’s wrong with vocational college? Vocational college can upgrade to a bachelor’s degree, and it doesn’t affect their chances of getting into a good university.”

The colleague thought to himself, “If they enter our college, their qualifications will be tarnished, which will affect their future studies and job search.”

The vocational college teacher continued, “Especially this Zhang Yu, have you seen his profile? He’s a poor man, so he should be easier to get than that Ye Lingxiao!”

“Our college does have some gaps with other universities, but we can offer him better conditions. A scholarship of 10 spirit coins a year during his studies, and a free choice of all majors!”

“We’ll bet all of our enrollment budget to get him. Recruiting him is more worthwhile than recruiting a hundred underachievers.”

At the same time, the Shiba Inu head of Wanfa University said, “Not bad, not bad. If you don’t want these two, our Civil Engineering Department intends to take them! It would be a pity if such promising physical bodies didn’t come to dredge the leylines!”

The cat-headed person said calmly, “Although they are not qualified to enter the Department of Finance, they are qualified to enter our university!”

Although Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao showed extraordinary aptitude, in the eyes of the cat-headed person, Ye Lingxiao was still too poor, and Zhang Yu was simply a super poor person. Poor people represent a lack of potential and foundation in the immortal path!

He thought to himself, “How could a poor person be worthy of entering the Department of Finance of Wanfa University?”

The cat-headed person continued, “However, I see that other universities are also very interested in them. What conditions do you plan to offer?”

The Shiba Inu head said, “A scholarship of 1.25 spirit coins a year should be enough for them to not have to borrow their magic power to mine spirit coins after entering school and be able to concentrate on their studies for a while!”

The cat-headed person nodded slightly: “1.25 spirit coins is indeed enough for daily life at university!”

On the other side of the audience!

The “crying and laughing expression” looked at the examination room and said, “Mom, this Zhang Yu is quite talented. After I go down, I want to take him in as well and have him and Ye Lingxiao assist me!”

The “smiling expression” frowned slightly upon hearing this, and advised with the tone of someone who had been there, “Son, Mom was also young and has also appreciated and promoted some poor people!”

“You can take in this Zhang Yu, but you must remember one thing. These people below are ultimately different from us. If you treat them too much like people, you will only end up harming them!”

“Spoiling a dog is like killing a dog. If you really want to use such poor people well, you have to grind them well and not be too nice to them from the start.”

The “crying and laughing expression” didn’t care. He had his own set of employment criteria, which was to throw money at them. He didn’t believe that there were no good subordinates who couldn’t be bought with money. If there weren’t, then not enough money had been thrown!

While the representatives in the audience were evaluating the two people on the field, the four minor deities on the other side of the internal network couldn’t agree and all looked at Deng Bingding, the chief examiner!

Deng Bingding said lightly, “Let’s count it as a tie for now!”

“After all, these two kids haven’t used their full strength yet!”

Hearing what Deng Bingding said, the four minor deities were slightly stunned, and their eyes showed surprise as they looked at Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao!

Huang Zichou thought to himself, “This isn’t even their full strength?”

The thoughts of the five righteous deities were rapidly exchanged in the internal network. Although a lot of information was exchanged, it only seemed like a moment from the outside!

Soon, Huang Zichou announced the results of the first round. The two were tied, and their scores were temporarily the same!

And who would ultimately get the Foundation Establishment certificate would ultimately depend on the scores of the second and third rounds, calculated according to the total score!

At the same time, Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, standing in the center of the examination room, glanced at each other and could feel the increasingly strong fighting spirit in each other!

Zhang Yu licked his lips, and his swollen muscles slowly began to contract, returning to their normal size!

The incredibly hot temperature just now gradually decreased and gradually entered a low-temperature state under the action of the Kanbing Lihuo Body Tempering Great Art!

Dissipating the inflammation and swelling on his body, and helping his body recover!

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “At the final moment just now, he still had the poison outbreak of the Spring Autumn Endless Chan which he had not used, it was not his true full strength.”

“I wonder how much strength the other side has not shown.”

And after a moment, after feeling that the damage caused by the outbreak in his body had recovered almost, Zhang Yu’s mind focused on the chain diagrams of the Yu Book, and he began to replace the cultivation arts on it one by one with the high school basic cultivation arts, and switched the Martial Dao Holy Embryo effect to the High School Holy Body!

This replacement of cultivation arts and switching of holy bodies took Zhang Yu about 2 or 3 seconds!

And after the switch, the blessing of the original Martial Dao Holy Embryo all turned into the digestion ability and drug absorption and metabolism ability brought by the High School Holy Body at the Qi Refining limit!

This also made Zhang Yu, who had just swallowed a large number of pills, feel refreshed!

Feeling the drug poison gathering towards the “Chan” character on his chest, Zhang Yu felt satisfied!

The reason why he had just taken so many pills was of course not just to freeload drugs, but also to increase his chances of winning in this Foundation Establishment exam!
