As Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao activated their Divine Root battle suits, Huang Zichou added, “During these three rounds of exams today, there are no restrictions on any medications.”

“After all, the body’s tolerance to drugs, whether the potential and foundation are damaged due to drug use… these are all within today’s examination scope.”

With that, the ground around them gently vibrated, and rows of medicine cabinets rose, various types of medications already displayed before Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

Huang Zichou continued, “You can take any of the divine medicines here!”

“Of course, if you have brought your own medicines, you can use them too!”

As he said this, Huang Zichou thought to himself, “Luckily, only these two are left for this round. Adding up the money collected this time, I should be able to make a profit today!”

Looking at the rows of medicine cabinets, Zhang Yu’s eyes lit up!

Although his mana and physical strength had already reached their limits, he could still use medicine to enhance his Dao Heart!

Recalling the past three months of frugality, spending all his money on cultivation techniques, and not having used medicine freely for a long time, Zhang Yu’s gaze towards the medicine cabinets became increasingly eager!

At the same time, Huang Zichou began introducing the Divine Roots on their bodies: “The Divine Root you are using today is called the Profound Armor Root, which is a mass-produced Divine Root designed for military combat!”

“Replenishing mana and stamina are just the most basic functions of the Profound Armor Root!”

“Next, the Profound Armor Root will officially enter test mode!”

“During the test mode, as you demonstrate stronger internal physical performance, the Profound Armor Root will continuously increase its power!”

“Although the extra functions of this battle suit have been removed, the Profound Armor Root has been completely preserved. As the power continuously increases, the Profound Armor Root will exhibit more functions and display them one by one. If there are any anomalies during this process, don’t be alarmed…”

Listening to Huang Zichou’s explanation, Zhang Yu thought, “Doesn’t this sound like they’re showcasing the Profound Armor Root’s functions?”

Just as Zhang Yu was carefully listening to Huang Zichou’s explanation, he suddenly heard a loud boom, and an impact wave erupted from Ye Lingxiao’s body!

Zhang Yu casually dispersed the incoming shockwave and turned to look in Ye Lingxiao’s direction!

He saw that Ye Lingxiao was surrounded by a gust of wind, the surrounding air distorted, and the power number on his sleeve had already risen to 10!

Huang Zichou smiled slightly, looking at Ye Lingxiao and saying, “You grasped it quickly. The test mode of the Profound Armor Root is to continuously increase the operating power of the physical body!”

“The more you exert yourself, the more you circulate your energy, the more you erupt, the more you can stimulate the Profound Armor Root’s power increase!”

The reason why Ye Lingxiao was able to grasp this so quickly was because, as a descendant of the Ye family, he was not ignorant about Divine Roots!

Although as a high school student he didn’t have the authority to use Divine Roots, many of the people he knew belonged to government departments and had the authority to use Divine Roots!

He had seen others use Divine Roots since he was young, and he already knew what to do in the test mode of Divine Roots!

He appeared to be standing still just now, but in reality, his blood and energy were surging, and the muscles all over his body were exerting force individually, which indeed caused the Divine Root’s power to increase!

Huang Zichou continued, “When the power of the Profound Armor Root reaches 10, it can activate the Spiritual Machine Force Field, using Spiritual Machine to conduct physical power and strike targets from a distance!”

With that, Huang Zichou nodded towards Ye Lingxiao and said, “You can demonstrate it!”

Ye Lingxiao obediently struck out with a palm!

A palm without mana circulation, just a plain strike, but it seemed like an air cannon had been fired!

As the palm force rapidly transmitted through the Spiritual Machine, it directly formed a shockwave that slowly dissipated dozens of meters away!

Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Damn it, it’s becoming more and more like an advertisement!”

Huang Zichou continued, “Continue, remember, in test mode, only by trying your best to mobilize the power of your physical body and circulate it, can you make the Divine Root improve its operating efficiency!”

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao, after releasing the restraints on his muscles, his figure suddenly swelled, instantly growing into a small giant, his blood and energy surging even more violently, erupting waves of heat!

And as he did this, the power of the Divine Root did indeed increase, the number on his sleeve soaring to 18!

On the other hand, Zhang Yu didn’t make any movements, but instead walked unhurriedly to the medicine cabinet and began selecting medicines that could enhance his Dao Heart!

In the communication network of the righteous gods, Huang Zichou recalled the gap between Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao in the previous round and said, “Has this kid given up? Is he just planning to grab some medicine?”

Another righteous god said, “Judging from their performance in the last exam, the difference in their cultivation time this year is indeed substantial. It’s normal for him not to have confidence. Anyway, there’s another chance next year!”

At the same time, a “laughing and crying emoji” in the audience said, “Mom, has Ye Lingxiao’s opponent given up?”

A “smiling emoji” casually said, “Ye Lingxiao is the strongest high school student in the first layer after all. It’s normal for his opponent to give up!”

And at the other end of the audience, a viewer with a cat avatar snorted coldly as he looked at Zhang Yu, “Retreating without a fight, unwilling to risk even a little failure, even if his talent is good, our Myriad Dharma University doesn’t need this kind of person!”

Another representative of Myriad Dharma University next to the cat head, with a husky avatar, laughed and said, “Your finance department are all favored children, saying no to someone is easy, but our civil engineering department is very welcome to this kind of student!”

“And didn’t you read the information? The two are a year apart. I’m quite optimistic about this Zhang Yu. Next year, when he comes to take the exam for the second time, he should be able to get the Foundation Establishment certificate. In the future, moving mountains and filling seas, building heavenly palaces, and even rebuilding and repairing!”

“Kunxu might even become a good hand!”

The cat head curled its lips and looked at Ye Lingxiao, saying, “This talent is indeed remarkable, but his immortal dao potential is still a bit lacking. He’s still a little short of entering my finance department!”

The husky head beside him advised, “Your requirements are too high. This is already the heir of the wealthiest family in the first layer. If you still嫌弃 his immortal dao potential is insufficient, then who in the first layer has enough immortal dao potential?”

The cat head said proudly, “The finance department is one of the strongest departments in our school, how can we not be selective in our admissions?”

“Besides, our department hasn’t admitted a student from the first layer for over fifty years. If it weren’t for the school leaders asking me to come and take a look, do you think I would watch this first layer’s Foundation Establishment exam?”

The husky head smiled and didn’t speak. He also knew that the finance department valued immortal dao potential the most, and the guys who went in were all arrogant. Apart from the other top departments in Myriad Dharma University, other departments were probably just security guards, workers, and service personnel in their eyes!

After all, even in the same university, the gap between departments was like a high mountain!

The toilets in the finance department were probably more fragrant than their civil engineering department’s dormitories!

Just then, the cat head suddenly said, “Old Dog, want to make a bet? I bet this Ye Lingxiao wins!”

The husky head knew that this finance department guy’s gambling addiction had flared up again and shook his head unhappily, “I don’t gamble money!”

While more people were focusing their attention on Ye Lingxiao, Zhang Yu, looking at the medicine he had in his hand in front of the medicine cabinet, was pleasantly surprised!

“Hahahaha, these righteous gods didn’t cut corners. These are all good medicines that I usually can’t afford!”

Although there weren’t any top-tier goods like Dao Disintegration Sustained-Release Capsules, Mana Meridian Injections, or Imitation Phoenix Functional Elements, there were still various second-best goods, which made Zhang Yu even more excited!

Looking at the Dao Heart medicines worth tens of thousands at random, Zhang Yu immediately poured them into his mouth, feeling the medicinal power being absorbed through his internal organs, quickly turning into streams of cool air rushing straight to the top of his head!

After a moment, he felt that his brain was being covered with layers of laws, his thinking became clearer, the operation of his mental techniques became more rapid, and the vision of the remnant ox in his mind became clearer!

Just then, a burst of light came from the examination hall!

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw Ye Lingxiao surrounded by a layer of spiritual light, like a circular shield, covering Ye Lingxiao from head to toe!

And the number on Ye Lingxiao’s sleeve displaying the Divine Root’s power had also risen to 30!

Huang Zichou said from the side, “If the power of the Profound Armor Root can reach above 30, it can activate a layer of Profound Armor Magic Shield, forming a layer of defensive shield with mana, which can almost ignore threats below military-grade!”

At the same time, one could see strange patterns constantly appearing in Ye Lingxiao’s undulating muscles, turning into pieces of dragon scales, which was the level 10 expert-level technique Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power!

Then his fascia continued to expand, and his skin began to turn blue and black, activating the level 10 expert-level protective body image Demon Entangling Tendon Transformation!

As Ye Lingxiao activated one cultivation technique after another in his physical body, the power of the Divine Root continued to increase rapidly, soon breaking through the 40 mark!

He looked at Zhang Yu, who was still taking medicine in the distance, and thought to himself, “Still not starting? Has he really given up?”

Thinking that his opponent had given up so easily, a sense of boredom suddenly surged in Ye Lingxiao’s heart, a sense of boredom that he had prepared carefully for 3 months, and his opponent had given up before he could even exert any strength!

Just then, Zhang Yu felt a slight pain in his head, realizing that he had reached the limit of taking Dao Heart medicine!

8th Level (89.5) → 8th Level (89.6)

“Oh, did my Dao Heart increase again?”

Wiping his mouth, Zhang Yu touched his stomach. He thought to himself, “I’m about 70% full, that’s enough medicine for today!”

He put down the medicine bottle and walked back to the center of the examination hall step by step, and with each step Zhang Yu took, the muscles all over his body were in a burst of vibration!

This was Zhang Yu performing a simple warm-up by moving the muscles, bones, internal organs all over his body!

During this warm-up process, the power of the Profound Armor Root gradually began to rise!
