Chapter 263: Chapter 228: The Third Level of the Flesh
In the audience stands.
Er Ha, the Civil Engineering representative of Wanfa University, looked at the results of this round’s competition, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “Not bad, not bad, Ye Lingxiao has a good head on his shoulders and adapts well to physical changes. In the future, once he’s fitted with Magic Remains for office use, he’ll be a promising talent for feng shui and array design. Working 48 hours in a day shouldn’t be a problem.”
“Zhang Yu’s physical progress is even faster than his Dao Heart, which suggests that his body is more useful than his mind. In the future, he’ll definitely be a handy hand at digging on construction sites. He wouldn’t even need too many Magic Remains; he could beco an all-purpose cultivator. Not only is he more useful than Magic Treasures, but the key is that his food expenses would certainly be cheaper than the rental fees for Magic Treasures.”
At this point, he was already laughing, “One for design, one for construction, these two will definitely be the twin stars of our Civil Engineering Departnt in the future.”
At the mont, he was a bit impatient, wanting to recruit both of them right away.
He thought to himself, “Nowadays the market competition is fierce; on one hand, the bankruptcy rate, demon possession rate, and sudden death rate of Civil Engineering students are rising year by year, and there are never enough capable students. On the other hand, the gang from Sky Demon University is engaging in low-price competition, and the departnt’s revenue has been declining.”
“If these two can be cultivated, they will certainly surpass that bunch of Cow Demons, Horse Demons, Dragon Demons, and Elephant Demons and help earn more money…”
As for why he considered using current students more than graduates, it was naturally because the salaries for graduates were too high, whereas students were more cost-effective.
Next to him, Cat Head from the Finance Departnt heard Er Ha’s sigh and nodded slightly, saying, “These two are indeed fine.”
“Although they are not wealthy enough and their foundation in the Immortal Path is a bit lacking.”
“But the Heavenly Dao always leaves a glimr of hope in its ways, leaving people the chance to ascend the Immortal Path.”
“Though their foundation is weak, their lending potential is very high.”
“If they enter Wanfa, you can send them my way. I can help them with a student loan.”
After speaking, Cat Head reminded again, “However, I see quite a few people here who are interested in them. If you distribute your bets evenly on both, you might end up getting neither.”
“It’s better to focus the budget primarily on one person to increase the success rate.”
Er Ha pondered steadily, “You are right…”
Cat Head asked curiously, “Then who do you plan to focus your budget on?”
Er Ha smiled slightly, “Naturally on Ye Lingxiao. Of the two, Ye Lingxiao is currently the stronger one.”
“Moreover, he is already a senior, and will start to study in half a year, so we can use him directly when the ti cos.”
“As for Zhang Yu… he won’t take his college entrance exam until next year, so let’s talk about him then, no rush.”
While the two representatives from Wanfa University were discussing their future plans, the other side’s “Smiling Face” spoke to his son, “See, didn’t I say so? Isn’t Ye Lingxiao more useful?”
“The low synchronization on the Magic Remains indicates that Zhang Yu doesn’t have a brain as good as Ye Lingxiao’s.”
“Actually, this was evident from the previous round too, after all, poverty limits one’s experience, lacking proper cultivation from an early age…”
Beside him, “Crying with Laughter” nodded absentmindedly, thinking to himself, “What’s the harm if Ye Lingxiao is better? Why not just get both of them?”
“Anyway, I can only use Ye Lingxiao for half a year, and Zhang Yu still has a year and a half before entering university, just in ti to take over as the high school star after Ye Lingxiao leaves.”
anwhile, Huang Zichou had almost finished explaining the content of the third round of the exam.
Zhang Yu was pondering the content of this final exam in his mind, thinking, “Is it a competition between and Ye Lingxiao using the Dragon Binding Rope to test our physical performance in different hazardous environnts?”
High temperature, low temperature, high pressure, strong poison, strong acid, strong alkaline, intense gravity…
Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao would face these different hazardous environnts randomly in the final exam room.
In such drastically changing environnts, even with their formidable physiques, there was a threat to their lives.
Huang Zichou reminded again, “The dical expenses after the exam are sponsored by Wanquan Insurance Company. If you feel you can’t hold on, press the alarm device imdiately, and I will ensure your safety and treatnt.”
“I remind you again, these high-risk environnts in this round have the potential to kill you with rapid changes.”
“So once you feel you can’t hold on, concede imdiately.”
“If you die in the exam hall, this exam takes no responsibility, and you won’t receive any compensation…”
To make this clear, Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, under the witness of five True Gods on site, signed a contract promising that regardless of suffering disability, severe injury, death… no matter the degree of harm in the final exam round, they would not pursue responsibility, not demand compensation, nor expose anything publicly…
Looking at the densely packed lines listing possible injuries and the subsequent extensive waiver of rights, Zhang Yu increasingly sensed the danger of this upcoming round.
But having co this far, Zhang Yu was naturally not about to quit; he rely thought to himself, “But this round’s claim of potential death… could it be to intentionally create pressure for us?”
“If we misjudge, and are near death beyond our limits in perilous conditions, would the True Gods really not save us?”
“With Kunxu’s nature, creating such a dangerous exam… it seems not impossible.”
anwhile, Huang Zichou thought to himself, “Mr. Deng is indeed a sixth-grade Upper God, this exam project is so comprehensive that the results are indisputable, and it also sells as a test of the physical body at the peak of the Qi Refinent Realm under various conditions, truly killing two birds with one stone.”
But in Zhang Yu’s opinion, the high-risk environnt, which was already very dangerous, was just a part of this exam.
In this dangerous environnt, he and Ye Lingxiao would stand simultaneously on a high platform, each holding onto one end of the Dragon Binding Rope.
As per Huang Zichou’s introduction, the so-called Dragon Binding Rope was a chain made with high-strength materials over a hundred ters long, said to be a device once used to imprison dragons.
Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao each grabbed one end of the Dragon Binding Rope, and whoever could pull the other down from the high platform first would win the exam.
If anyone let go of their Dragon Binding Rope, it would also count as a direct loss.
Of course, if anyone couldn’t withstand the high-risk environnt, it would result in a loss as well.
Huang Zichou said, “This round tests not only your vitality in a high-risk environnt and the tenacity of your physical body, but also your physical strength, and the potential you can unleash under such high pressure.”
“The key here is this high pressure.”
“Compared to your future path, high school might be the last ti you can relax…”
“Damn…” Zhang Yu cursed in his heart, “Where’s the relaxation in high school?!”
Huang Zichou: “Once you enter university, you truly embark on the Immortal Path, and in these ten years at university, you have no opportunity to relax, with pressure increasing year after year.”
“Sudden death, bankruptcy, dropping out, demonic obsession… various threats will continuously assault you, forcing out your potential.”
“The focus of this round is to test what kind of potential you can unleash under various high pressures…”
“You now have half an hour of rest to recover from the consumption and impact of the previous two rounds.”
“After half an hour, the final round of the exam will officially begin.”
Just after Huang Zichou announced this half-hour rest period, Zhang Yu suddenly asked, “Examiner, will the dicines in the cabinet still be available during this half-hour?”
Hearing this question, Huang Zichou was slightly taken aback.
At the sa ti, within the internal network, a True God imdiately expressed opposition.
Mu Guiyin said, “The competition hasn’t even formally started, why talk about eating? Isn’t this just increasing the budget in vain.”
As the Little Gods expressed their opposition, Huang Zichou remained silent, as spending more money was a major adversary for True Gods, and anyone who dared to support it would be the target of public criticism.
But at this mont, Huang Zichou suddenly received a ssage from Deng Bingding.
“Mr. Deng? Asking to support the availability of drugs?” Huang Zichou was slightly confused by the ssage, but the next mont he decisively said, “Exam dications should be taken before the exam starts, I see no problem with that.”
When the Little Gods had another dispute and finally turned their attention to Deng Bingding, the sixth-grade True God acted as a judge and made his decision: “What Mu Guiyin says makes sense (thumbs up), but what Little Deng says is also fine (thumbs up).”
“I think we should open the dicines 15 minutes before the exam starts.”
Then Deng Bingding smiled slightly and said, “The sponsors also ntioned that it’s rare to see soone like Zhang Yu who enjoys taking dicine so much. From him, they feel a kind of hunger for drugs, particularly liking the way he eats, and they are willing to donate another batch of drugs to let Zhang Yu eat to his heart’s content.”
So, after resting for 15 minutes, as the dicine cabinet opened, Zhang Yu quickly walked over, grabbed a large bottle of dicine and gulped it down.
anwhile, his Chain Technique Map had already switched to the High School Sacred Body state, enhancing his capacity for drug load and tabolism to the limit of the Qi Refinent Realm.
Zhang Yu felt the dicine he swallowed transforming into a burning flow of dicinal power that exploded inside him, shortly thereafter converging into torrents of dicinal poison towards the ‘Zen’ character on his chest.
He thought to himself, “Good, I should take advantage of this free dicine opportunity to continue accumulating dicinal poison within these fifteen minutes…”
On the other side, Ye Lingxiao approached the dicine cabinet, just picking a few combat drugs that would enhance explosiveness and restore physical and ntal strength, planning to take them before the exam started.
After all, for him, drugs weren’t scarce in daily life, and taking too many before the exam would instead distract him with digestion, adding a burden to his body.
Then Ye Lingxiao touched the Dispersive Spirit (Resolve-Release Capsules) he brought, thinking to himself: “I’ll just take it before the exam; with dual thinking and my bloodline potential, I’ll use my strongest state to win this round and let these university representatives offer higher chips during recruitnt.”
Having reached the final round, Ye Lingxiao had no hesitation in going all out from the start.
What made him hesitate was whether his strongest state required one or two Dispersive Spirits.
Until today’s Foundation Establishnt exam, the laboratory had no conclusion on this matter.
Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, “Taking two might make stronger, but it could also have unforeseeable consequences.”
