At this moment, within the examination hall, the Four Wandering Gods, Deng Bingding, were seated in the center, while other lesser gods, such as Huang Zichou, roamed throughout the hall, monitoring the condition of each examinee and maintaining order.
In addition to the columnar data on the light screen in front, they also monitored the mana detection data on each contestant.
Through the detection patches on the contestants' bodies, they could constantly understand the flow of mana throughout the students' bodies, easily see the students' control over the surrounding mana, and whether there was any cheating behavior.
However... although the True Gods appeared expressionless, without saying a word or even a single sentence, in reality, their minds were filled with thoughts, constantly multitasking and handling various matters.
After all, for the Eight Divisions of True Gods, multitasking and working remotely were commonplace, as natural as breathing.
And besides multitasking, socializing was also an essential aspect of being a god.
After all, compared to mortals who needed phones, the internet, and other things to communicate, as the Eight Divisions of True Gods, their thoughts were constantly connected to the network, and there were no excuses for being unable to contact, inconvenient communication, or just seeing a message.
Just like at this moment, while monitoring the examination hall, the thoughts of the gods present were also interconnected in the network, constantly communicating the situation of the examination hall.
Deng Bingding said, "...This is the first Foundation Establishment Examination in the Kunxu Layer 1 after the reform of the Foundation Establishment Examination. Everyone, stand guard at your posts, uphold this responsibility, and after the examination is over, I will personally request merit for everyone."
Huang Zichou was the first to reply, "Lord Deng, you speak well. We feel at ease knowing that you are in charge of the overall situation again this time."
While the gods on site were communicating together, Deng Bingding could also receive private chats from the lesser gods.
"Alas, it's all Favor Talismans again. These formalities of the True Gods..."
However, seeing that Huang Zichou's amount this time was actually 20,000, Deng Bingding couldn't help but glance at him. After discovering that the other party was also looking at her, Deng Bingding smiled and nodded.
"Lord Deng is smiling at me?" Huang Zichou thought to himself, secretly pleased, "Sure enough, was the amount of the Favor Talisman incorrect last time?"
Huang Zichou secretly noted this amount in his heart, thinking, "For us gods, money is the most important thing."
"The so-called 'send money first, then talk business'. Although I haven't thought about what I want to ask for yet, I can send the money first..."
At the same time, he heard a lesser god say, "Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao are indeed in a league of their own."
"Judging from the mana monitoring data, the mana in their bodies is like the Yangtze River, surging endlessly. This kind of control and burst of mana is indeed the strongest present."
Another god said, "The investment in these two people is enough to support all the high school students in some high schools."
"In terms of strength... they can no longer be regarded as ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators. I just don't know who will be the real strongest high school student in Kunxu Layer 1 in this battle of dragons and tigers between these two."
...
On the examination field.
With each breath, Yun Jing felt the mana in his body surge wildly, constantly pouring into the detection patch in his palm through his arm.
But looking at Ye Lingxiao, who was on par with him on the light screen, Yun Jing shouted in his heart, "Mana! Get up quickly!"
Under his frantic squeezing, the mana in his body crashed against his meridians like a flood, almost disregarding the possible damage to his body, recklessly衝擊, 衝擊, 衝擊!
This was because every meridian in Yun Jing's body had been extracted and entrusted to dozens of university graduates for repeated cultivation and tempering according to three hundred different project plans, allowing them to withstand the limit mana operation of the Qi Refining stage for a long time.
It could be said that each of his meridians consumed several months of hard work from a university graduate.
The total workload of this body of meridians added up to tens of thousands of workdays, equivalent to twenty or thirty years of Qi Refining stage cultivation for an ordinary person.
And besides the meridians, a large amount of Yun Jing's cultivation was divided into one project after another in this way, and completed by excellent university graduates under the precise planning of the family.
"The warm-up is almost over."
Feeling the increasingly surging mana in his body, Yun Jing roared in his heart, "Second Dantian, open!"
Apart from the lower dantian, a sea of qi suddenly activated in his chest, and the flow of mana immediately surged twofold, rushing out like roaring giant dragons.
On the light screen, the pillar representing Yun Jing suddenly soared, instantly widening the gap with everyone else and firmly occupying the first place.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lingxiao's expression remained unchanged, and there was not a trace of panic on his face.
He thought to himself, "This is troublesome. It's not the final. Shouldn't I have reserved some strength?"
Ye Lingxiao knew that, theoretically speaking, as long as he occupied the second position at this moment, he could pass the exam, and there was no need to spend more effort and expose more strength to grab the first place.
But...
"First place."
For Ye Lingxiao, who had always scored full marks in exams and ranked first since he was a child... taking first place was like eating and drinking, it had become a habit.
In order to inherit the perfect bloodline of the Xiandu Ye Clan, he was not conceived by a mother, but was in a Immortal Essence Uterus from the embryonic stage, receiving Immortal Dao modulation.
When he first opened his eyes, his meridians were already twice as wide as those of ordinary people, and now they were more than ten times the average of high school students.
At the same time, the richness of his nerves was also a hundred times that of ordinary people, and his entire nervous system was naturally able to mobilize mana.
The mana techniques that other students had to work hard to practice, he learned after entering high school.
He could learn any cultivation technique at a glance and master it quickly, spending millions every month to purchase the right to use the techniques.
Cultivation in the Qi Refining stage had always been without any difficulty for him.
Many people said that he and mortals were no longer the same species, and that he was the real Immortal Dao bloodline.
Ye Lingxiao did not take it seriously.
But there was one thing he was used to.
That was, the first place belonged to him, and would always belong to him.
Million-level expert martial art, Thunderbolt Heavenly Astral Qi - Level 10 Activation!
As a martial art with a usage right price of over a million, known to be close to military-grade, a thunderous sound was heard as soon as the Thunderbolt Heavenly Astral Qi was activated.
At this moment, Ye Lingxiao was like a God of Thunder, with lightning flashing all over his body, and every trace of mana turned into lightning.
But under his control, this trace of thunderous mana was as easy as using his arms and fingers. Not only did it not damage the environment and detection equipment, but it shot out like lightning bolts, accurately passing through his arms, palms, and finally being blasted into the detection patch.
At the same time, on the light screen, the pillar representing Ye Lingxiao, which had been gradually reduced under the influence of Yun Jing... had once again enlarged in the blink of an eye, constantly chasing after the first place.
"Hmph." Yun Jing snorted in his heart as he watched the changes in the bar graph, "Want to catch up? Then try it, and see which of us is the strongest high school student in Kunxu today."
As the fierce competition between the two triggered a commotion, the students behind them also tried their best to explode the mana in their bodies, vying for the remaining rankings, making the entire exam even more intense.
...
Huang Zichou looked at the rankings on the light screen, and analyzed while looking at the dozen or so contestants closely following Yun Jing and Ye Lingxiao, "The students behind are chasing each other very closely."
Another god said, "After all, they are all students from Xiandu, the top high school students in Kunxu Layer 1. Even the mana of those ranked outside the top 10 is above 90 units."
Just as the lesser gods were discussing, Deng Bingding turned her attention to the scores of No. 55, No. 56, and No. 31, which were Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Yu Xinghan from Songyang.
Since the last Dao Heart test, Deng Bingding had been paying attention to these three Songyang students, and had also slightly checked the three people's information afterwards.
At this moment, while watching the three people's performance, their information flashed through her mind.
"Yu Xinghan, No. 31, is a Golden Core disciple. Although his mana has not yet reached 90, and he can't keep up with the level of the top dozen or so, his mana control is not bad. At this moment, with a continuous burst, he can rank 17th."
The latest novel is first published on 69 Books Bar!
Yu Xinghan's third eye in his mind had already fully opened, constantly helping him to urge the mana in his body, but no matter how he exercised his energy, he found that he could only maintain his position at 17th.
"The 16 people in front are also constantly accelerating. It's too difficult to catch up, and this is only 16th place..."
Thinking of the mana control he had cultivated through repeated sparring of palm strength and fist strength under the personal guidance of True Person Xinghuo, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he realized that he could only rank 17th even when he was doing his best at this moment.
"Sure enough, if I want to pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate, it will have to be next time."
On the other side, Deng Bingding's gaze swept towards Bai Zhenzhen.
"Bai Zhenzhen, No. 56, is a poor genius, who soared to the sky after being invested in."
"And the name of that investor, according to my understanding from the local lesser gods in Songyang... is Zhang Pianpian."
"The same investor as Zhang Yu, are these two poor people also involved with the above?"
Deng Bingding didn't dare to think too much, and only told herself to pretend she didn't know anything, and treat the two as ordinary candidates.
Coming back to her senses, looking at the mana detection data coming from Bai Zhenzhen's body, Deng Bingding seemed to be able to see the mana in the other party's body like waves of sea waves, continuously surging outwards, bursting out with a turbulent flow in the meridians.
Expert-level Breathing Technique - Startling Wave Nine Revolutions, Level 10 Activation!
This expert-level breathing technique emphasizes continuous regeneration. After nine revolutions of mana, it can draw more mana. It is a technique where the longer the breathing time, the stronger the breathing effect.
And after Bai Zhenzhen's True Spirit Root deduction, this Startling Wave Nine Revolutions' Level 10 effect has one more layer, which is that during the process of nine revolutions of mana, the running speed of the mana becomes faster and faster with each revolution, becoming more and more fierce like startling waves.
At this moment, with the help of this Startling Wave Nine Revolutions and its deduction effect, Bai Zhenzhen barely stood in 19th place.
But at this moment, after nine revolutions of mana, the running speed has faintly surpassed the limit that Bai Zhenzhen can control. She feels like she is a small boat in the startling waves, and may be overturned by the runaway mana at any time.
But the more dangerous it is, the clearer Bai Zhenzhen feels her brain and the more profound her grasp of mana operation under the operation of the Cold Soul Ice Heart Technique.
At this moment, she is single-minded, and has almost no mental attention to the outside world, fully operating the Startling Wave Nine Revolutions on the edge of losing control.
Looking at the monitoring data coming from Bai Zhenzhen, Deng Bingding evaluated in her heart, "If the mana goes out of control, it will be seriously injured once it loses control. Another student who loves adventure."
She was already used to this.
After all, if the students of Kunxu do not borrow money, do not get injured, and do not get sick... then that would be a ghost.
Which of the top students has not reached this point today through one adventure after another?
Finally, Deng Bingding looked at Zhang Yu.
"21st place?" Deng Bingding thought to herself, "Didn't even enter the top 20?"
...
Zhang Yu, who was desperately operating his mana, also felt surprised, surprised that he hadn't even entered the top 20.
Although today's exam eliminates the contestants after the top 20 in total score, ranking outside the top 20 in the mana exam does not necessarily mean elimination.
But obviously, ranking after 20th is still a very unfavorable result.
"Sure enough, they are very strong, the high school students of Xiandu..."
Zhang Yu still remembered that after he cultivated the Zhou Tian Gathering Qi Technique to Level 10, his mana control was already very strong.
And when he later cultivated the Wuji Cloud Hand to Level 10, he thought that his mana control could already be compared with that of a senior high school student.
But at this moment, looking at his ranking, Zhang Yu suddenly realized something.
His control over mana... has not improved for too long.
"After all, most of my energy in the past few months has been focused on body refining."
"Indeed, my mana control has the level of a senior high school student."
"But merely senior high school level mana control, in the absence of rapid bursts, is not enough to enter the top 20 in this exam..."
Pressure and crisis came head-on, and Zhang Yu felt as if a remnant bull was roaring towards the sky in his mind, emitting infinite fighting spirit.
"Hehe... pressure and desperation?"
"It's not enough yet."
