From the spectator stands…

The earthworks representative from Myriad Arts University, “Husky Head,” watched the results of this round and nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad, not bad. Ye Lingxiao has a good mind and adapts well to physical changes. In the future, when he’s fitted with a work-designated Dharma Skeleton, he’ll be a fine feng shui and array design seedling. Working him for forty-eight hours a day shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Zhang Yu’s physical body is progressing even faster than his Dao heart, which means his body is more useful than his brain. In the future, he can go straight to the construction site and dig earth. He’ll definitely be a master at it! He won’t need to be fitted with too many Dharma Skeletons. He can directly become an all-purpose super-laborer! Not only is he more useful than magical treasures, but his food costs will definitely be cheaper than magical treasure rental fees!”

Speaking to this point, he began to laugh, “One for design, one for construction. These two are destined to become the twin prides of my earthworks department!”

At this moment, he could hardly wait to recruit them both!

He thought to himself, “The market competition is fierce these days. On the one hand, the bankruptcy rate, demonic conversion rate, and sudden death rate of earthworks students are rising year after year. There are never enough usable students!

“On the other hand, the beastly bunch from Heavenly Demon University are engaging in low-price competition, and the department’s profits are steadily declining!”

“If these two can be cultivated, they will certainly surpass that group of bull demons, horse demons, dragon demons, and elephant demons and help me earn more money!”

As for why he considered current students more than graduates, it was naturally because graduates demanded too high of wages. How could they be as useful as current students!

The cat-headed representative from the finance department, hearing Husky Head’s lament, nodded slightly and said, “These two are indeed passable!

“Although they aren’t rich enough, and their Immortal Dao foundation is a bit lacking!”

“But in the ebb and flow of Heavenly Dao, there’s always a sliver of opportunity left for people to climb the Immortal path!”

“Although their Immortal Dao foundations are a bit lacking, their borrowing potential is high!”

“If they enter Myriad Arts, you can send them to me. I can help them get a student loan!”

Having said that, Cat Head reminded, “But I see quite a few people here are interested in those two. If you spread your bets evenly on both of them, you might not be able to recruit either!”

“It’s better to concentrate your budget, mainly betting on one person, which can increase the chances of success!”

Husky Head nodded thoughtfully, “You’re right!”

Cat Head asked curiously, “Then which one are you planning to concentrate your budget on?”

Husky Head smiled slightly, “Naturally, it’s Ye Lingxiao. Of the two, Ye Lingxiao is currently stronger!”

“Besides, he’s already a senior in high school. He’ll be enrolling in half a year. We can put him to use right away!”

“As for that Zhang Yu… he won’t take the college entrance exam until next year. We’ll talk about him next year then. No rush!”

Just as the two representatives from Myriad Arts University were discussing their future arrangements, on the other side, “Smiling Face” said to his son, “See, I wasn’t wrong, was I? Isn’t Ye Lingxiao more useful?”

“The synchronization rate on the Dharma Skeleton is low, which means Zhang Yu’s brain is obviously not as good as Ye Lingxiao’s!”

“Actually, you could tell from the last round. After all, poor people have limited knowledge. They lacked this kind of cultivation since they were little!”

The “Crying-Laughing Face” next to him nodded absentmindedly, thinking to himself, “So what if he’s not as good as Ye Lingxiao? I’ll just take both of them, wouldn’t that be better?”

“Anyway, I can only use Ye Lingxiao for half a year. That Zhang Yu still has a year and a half before he goes to university. It’s perfect to have him take over as the high school’s poster child when Ye Lingxiao leaves!”

At the same time, Huang Zichou had almost finished explaining the content of the third round of the exam!

Zhang Yu was thinking about the content of this final round of the exam, thinking to himself, “In different dangerous environments, I have to compete with Ye Lingxiao in physical performance using the Dragon-Binding Cord?”

High temperature, low temperature, high pressure, deadly poison, strong acid, strong alkali, super gravity!

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao will randomly experience different dangerous environments in this final round’s examination room!

Under such drastically changing environments, even with their strong bodies, their lives are in danger!

Huang Zichou reminded again, “The treatment costs after the exam are sponsored by Myriad Safe Medical Insurance Company. Once you feel like you can’t hold on, immediately press the alarm device, and I will safely send you out for treatment!”

“I remind you again, this round’s high-risk environment is changing rapidly, and there is a possibility that it can kill you!”

“So once you feel like you can’t hold on, immediately admit defeat!”

“If you die in the examination room, this exam will not be responsible, and you will not receive any compensation!”

To clarify this point, Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao jointly signed a contract in the presence of five True Gods, promising that no matter what kind of injury they sustained in the final round’s examination room—disability! serious injury! death!—they would not pursue responsibility, would not demand compensation, would not externally…

Looking at the densely packed, line after line, of the possible injuries, and the large number of rights they promised to give up behind them, Zhang Yu increasingly felt the danger of the next round!

But having come this far, Zhang Yu would naturally not give up. He just thought in his heart, “But there’s a possibility of dying in this round. Is this deliberately putting pressure on us?”

“If we misjudge and are about to die in a danger that exceeds our limits, won’t the True Gods save us?”

“Given Kunxu’s nature, creating such a dangerous exam doesn’t seem impossible!”

At the same time, Huang Zichou thought to himself, “Master Deng is indeed a sixth-rank upper god. This exam project is not only comprehensive, but the results are enough to leave people speechless. It can also sell a batch of Qi Refinement Realm peak physical body test data in various environments. It’s truly killing two birds with one stone!”

But the high-risk environment, which Zhang Yu already considered very dangerous, was only part of this exam!

In this dangerous environment, he and Ye Lingxiao would stand on a high platform at the same time, each holding one end of the Dragon-Binding Cord. As for the so-called Dragon-Binding Cord, in Huang Zichou’s introduction just now, it was a chain of over a hundred meters long, made of high-strength materials, said to have once been used to imprison giant dragons!

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao each held one end of the Dragon-Binding Cord. Whoever could pull the other off the high platform first would win this exam!

If anyone’s Dragon-Binding Cord slipped from their hand, they would also be directly judged to have lost! Of course, whoever couldn’t hold on in the high-risk environment would also be judged to have lost!

Huang Zichou said, “This round tests not only the vitality you demonstrate in a high-risk environment, and the toughness of your physical body, but also the physical strength, and the potential that your physical body can unleash under such high pressure.”

“And the key is this high pressure!”

“Compared to your future path, high school may already be the last time you can relax!”

“The hell?!”

Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, “Where is high school relaxing?”

Huang Zichou: “Once you enter university, you will truly have stepped onto the Immortal path. In these ten years of university, you will not have the slightest chance to relax. The pressure you face will only increase year by year!”

“Sudden death, bankruptcy, expulsion, demonic conversion!!! All kinds of threats will relentlessly attack you, forcing out your potential!”

“The focus of this round is to test what kind of potential you can unleash under all kinds of high pressure!!”

“You will have half an hour of rest time to recover from the consumption and impact of the first two rounds!”

“Half an hour later, the final round of the exam will officially begin!”

Just as Huang Zichou announced this half-hour rest time, Zhang Yu suddenly asked, “Examiner, will the medicine in the medicine cabinet still be provided during this half hour?”

Hearing this question, Huang Zichou was slightly stunned!

At the same time, True Gods immediately expressed their opposition in the internal network! Mu Guiyin said, “The competition hasn’t officially started yet. What’s the point of eating? Isn’t this just increasing the budget for no reason!”

While the lesser gods were opposing, Huang Zichou remained silent. After all, spending more money was the great enemy of the True Gods. Whoever dared to support it was bound to be the target of public criticism!

But just then, Huang Zichou suddenly received a message from Deng Bingding!

“Master Deng asked me to support opening up the medicine,” Huang Zichou was slightly stunned looking at the message sent by the other party, but the next moment, he decisively spoke, “Isn’t exam medicine supposed to be taken before the exam? I think it’s no problem!”

As the lesser gods argued, they ultimately turned their attention to Deng Bingding. This sixth-rank True God then made his decision as a referee: “Mu Guiyin makes sense (thumbs up), but Little Deng also makes sense (thumbs up)!”

“I think we should open the medicine fifteen minutes before the exam!”

Speaking to this point, Deng Bingding smiled slightly, “The sponsors also said that they rarely see someone like Zhang Yu eating medicine with such relish. They can feel a sense of medicinal hunger from him, and they especially like the way he eats. They are willing to donate another batch of medicine to let Zhang Yu eat his fill!”

So, after resting for fifteen minutes, as the medicine cabinet opened, Zhang Yu quickly walked over, grabbed a large bottle of potion, and gulped it down!

At the same time, his chain diagram had already switched to the High School Holy Body state, and his ability to withstand drug load and metabolism was increased to the limit of the Qi Refinement Realm. Zhang Yu felt the swallowed medicine turn into a surging medicinal force that exploded within his body. After a moment, it brought a surge of medicinal toxins converging towards the “Zen” character on his chest!

He thought to himself, “Good, I want to take advantage of this free medicine-eating opportunity to continue accumulating medicinal toxins in these fifteen minutes!”

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao went to the medicine cabinet and only took some combat medicines that increased burst power and recovered physical strength and energy, intending to take them before the exam began.

After all, for him, he wasn’t lacking in medicine in his daily life. Taking too much medicine before the exam would only distract him from digesting it and increase the burden on his body!

Having reached the final round, Ye Lingxiao had no hesitation about going all out from the start!

The thing that made him hesitate, however, was whether his strongest state was with one or two divided spirit pills!

Regarding this point, the laboratory had not yet reached a conclusion until he participated in today’s Foundation Establishment exam.

Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, “Taking two pills might make me stronger, but taking two pills might also have unpredictable consequences!”
