Listening to Huang Zichou's confidentiality requirements, Yu Xinghan mustered his courage and said, "Is there a reward for this contract?"
Huang Zichou didn't speak, but his cold gaze swept over, immediately extinguishing all of Yu Xinghan's courage.
Huang Zichou thought to himself, "I can't even get a share of the money, and you still want a share?"
Just as everyone was signing the contracts one by one, Ye Lingxiao said from the side, "How could I casually reveal what happened during the Foundation Establishment Exam? But I need to discuss this contract signing with my family before I can sign..."
Deng Bingding twitched the corner of his mouth, glared at him, and said, "Sign it quickly."
Two minutes later, everyone finished signing the confidentiality agreement, and the exam continued.
However, due to the excessively strong side effects of the Dao Dissolution Sustained-Release Capsules, each person was limited to one capsule.
Zhang Yu simply gave up on the Dao Dissolution Sustained-Release Capsules.
"Who knows how long this will lower my IQ? What if this junk permanently lowers my IQ?"
So Zhang Yu simply picked up other medicines that strengthened the Dao Heart, at least the ones with more clearly defined adverse reactions, and poured bottle after bottle into his mouth.
Just like that, while taking medicine and cultivating, Zhang Yu felt that his Dao Heart, mana, and physical strength were all skyrocketing.
And his score, which was originally behind Ye Lingxiao's, began to steadily catch up as he frantically stuffed himself with medicine.
On the other side, Ye Lingxiao watched as the opponent's score got closer and closer to his own, so he took two more Imitation Phoenix Functional Pills in the space of ten minutes.
At this moment, he looked flushed, his blood vessels were bulging out of his body as if he were about to explode at any moment, and his internal organs were experiencing waves of colic, as if his stomach and intestines were melting.
But what made him feel slightly comforted was that Zhang Yu in front of him had finally stopped.
"Has he finally reached his limit?"
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zhang Yu raise his hand and ask, "Examiner, can I go to the toilet? I feel too full, I want to go to the toilet before continuing to eat."
Yu Xinghan was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Fullness?"
So, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhang Yu went to the toilet, then ate another Imitation Phoenix Functional Pill, injected a mana meridian injection, and then picked up can after can of Dao Heart-related drugs and drank them down.
Ye Lingxiao wanted to take another dose of the divine medicine several times to maintain his lead, but feeling the near-limit state of his body, he could only grit his teeth and give up helplessly, watching Zhang Yu's score surpass his own.
As the one-hour medication time ran out, the first half of the physical track of the second round of the Foundation Establishment Exam came to an end.
Ye Lingxiao looked at the current ranking of points, looking at Zhang Yu in first place and himself in second place, and a trace of intense unwillingness emerged in his heart.
"It's okay... there's still the second half. With my strength, I can catch up in the second half, but with my strength, what if I can't catch up in the second half?"
With a loud bang, five cylindrical tanks rose from the center of the examination hall.
Deng Bingding introduced, "This tank is called the Sea Stabilizing Pillar. Although it is only 5 meters high overall, the Profound Nether Heavy Water inside can simulate pressure from 1 meter to 10,000 meters underwater."
"Next, it depends on how much pressure you, who have taken the medicine, can withstand with your physical bodies while enduring the side effects of the medicine."
"Only those with stronger pressure resistance, stronger physical strength, and stronger physical techniques can withstand deeper pressure in this Sea Stabilizing Pillar."
"The second half of the exam will test this comprehensive physical strength."
"And today's final score of the second round of the exam will be ranked based on the combined scores of the first and second halves."
"Everyone, get in the water."
Zhang Yu put on an oxygen mask and jumped into the Sea Stabilizing Pillar, his whole body submerged in the Profound Nether Heavy Water, and landed directly at the bottom of the Sea Stabilizing Pillar.
Even though he was submerged in the water, he couldn't feel any pressure at all, as if the surrounding water was like air.
"Is this the Profound Nether Heavy Water? It's actually as light as air?"
But the next moment, as the exam officially began, a number appeared on the upper part of the Sea Stabilizing Pillar -1 meter.
Zhang Yu suddenly felt a tightening around his body, and the Profound Nether Heavy Water, which had just been light and airy, pressed over, surrounding his body like ordinary water.
Only the part with the oxygen mask was still unaffected by the Profound Nether Heavy Water, providing Zhang Yu with the necessary oxygen.
Watching the number on the Sea Stabilizing Pillar constantly change, gradually decreasing from -1 meter to -10 meters, and then decreasing towards -100 meters, Zhang Yu gradually felt the increasingly heavy pressure, coming from all directions, pressing towards his whole body.
Zhang Yu glanced at his Feather Book and thought, "Is my current physical strength at level "
"That number 23 (Ye Lingxiao), as a top Immortal Metropolis young master, probably has a physical strength level of 10, and he may have cultivated more techniques than me, so his control over his body is probably also above me... This game has a bigger advantage for him."
"I hope this guy's IQ drops low enough for him to make a few major mistakes."
"No... with my score in the first half, even if I lose this game to him, it's enough for me to be in the top two in today's total score, advance to the next round of the Foundation Establishment Exam, and compete for the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate."
"In that case, since I'm sure to pass this round of the Foundation Establishment Exam anyway, I might as well take advantage of the current opportunity to become stronger."
Compared to temporary victories and defeats, Zhang Yu obviously paid more attention to long-term strength.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu slowly twisted his body in the Profound Nether Heavy Water.
He planned to take advantage of the fact that the simulated depth was not too low yet, and use the still surging medicinal power in his body to continue cultivating the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, and further strengthen his physical strength.
Just as Zhang Yu began to cultivate, the entire examination hall was silent, and all the candidates were silently maintaining their strength and resisting the pressure from within while immersed in the Profound Nether Heavy Water.
And at this moment, the expressions of Deng Bingding, Huang Zichou, and other righteous gods all moved slightly.
They all saw the changes on another arena.
…
On the Martial Arts Arena.
In front of the huge arena.
Dai Xingzhi was slowly moving his hands and feet, doing warm-up exercises, while constantly scanning Bai Zhenzhen at the other end of the arena.
At the same time, a row of numbers was displayed above their heads respectively.
Dai Xingzhi's was 1 million, and Bai Zhenzhen's was also 1 million, representing the amount of medical insurance they had in the next arena match.
This was the amount of medical insurance provided by Deng Bingding and the other examiner righteous gods for the 5 candidates in the martial arts exam.
In today's martial arts exam, all candidates would have this amount of one million medical insurance provided by the righteous gods, and it would be reset before each arena match.
And in the process of fighting in the arena battle, every injury and every wound of both candidates would be instantly healed by the divine array arranged on the arena, and the medical insurance amount would be consumed.
That is to say, as long as the 1 million medical insurance amount of either side fighting in the arena is not exhausted in each game, they will always be in the peak state of their bodies.
Once the medical insurance amount of either side in the battle is consumed to 0, then they will lose the arena.
If a contestant is knocked down or knocked unconscious, although they will be healed immediately, it will be judged as a loss, just like being knocked out of the arena.
During this period, each arena match lasts a total of 10 minutes. If the winner is not determined after 10 minutes, then the contestant with the higher medical insurance balance will win.
At this moment, Dai Xingzhi looked at Bai Zhenzhen, and a trace of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.
As a genius from the inner six rings of the floor of Immortal Metropolis, Dai Xingzhi had always looked down on any outsiders.
But Bai Zhenzhen in front of him was an exception.
On the one hand, it was because the other party's performance in the last Foundation Establishment Exam was remarkable.
On the other hand, it was because the other party had successively defeated two opponents in the previous consecutive arena battles.
Dai Xingzhi thought to himself, "This woman has already defeated all the candidates except me and Yun Jing."
"Considering that Yun Jing will definitely take the first place... then the outcome between me and her will determine who is second."
Although even if he took second place, Dai Xingzhi didn't think he could defeat Yun Jing in the next round of the Foundation Establishment Exam and snatch the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate.
But Dai Xingzhi was sure that if he took second place, the reward for the next round of the exam would definitely be more generous.
"Judging from the previous battles, this woman is very fast, and her fighting style tends to use high-speed sword techniques."
Dai Xingzhi had always been very confident in his speed.
If you want to say why... then it's naturally to save money.
Although he was a Immortal Metropolis young master, money was never enough for Dai Xingzhi.
Therefore, when choosing the direction of martial arts cultivation, compared to those strength-based and horizontal training types that consumed a lot of medical expenses... in the actual combat direction, Dai Xingzhi chose the speed type, especially specializing in evasion.
This was both his own choice and the inheritance of the family.
Dodge first when encountering a battle, run if you can't dodge, exhaust if you can't run, not getting injured is better than not losing, if you lose you can come again, if you are poor it will be difficult to turn over... this is the idea passed down from generation to generation of the Dai family.
So in order to avoid injury in battle after battle, the first martial art Dai Xingzhi learned was footwork.
And in order to improve his sensitivity in battle and improve his dodging skills, the private sparring partners he hired were almost all speed-type martial arts masters.
And things like dodging hidden weapons, sneak attacks, and group attacks... were all his daily training projects.
So in the previous three arena matches, his medical insurance amount had always been the least consumed.
He didn't even consume a single medical insurance amount in the battle with Yun Jing... because he directly chose to admit defeat.
Because Dai Xingzhi realized one thing: "If you are hit with an injury that 1 million can't heal, then you will have to enter the next arena with an injury."
"So facing Yun Jing, I will lose anyway... it's better to just admit defeat, so as not to affect the next game."
"Now as long as I win this woman, I will be the second place."
With the righteous god's call, Dai Xingzhi and Bai Zhenzhen walked onto the arena together.
And with each step, a phantom image appeared around Dai Xingzhi's body, and his whole body became more and more erratic, as if he had turned into several clones advancing and retreating together.
But what surprised Dai Xingzhi was that Bai Zhenzhen sat down on the spot after walking onto the arena, as if she had no intention of making a move at all.
"This woman..."
Dai Xingzhi's figure flashed around Bai Zhenzhen, but found that the other party didn't even look at him.
Just then, Bai Zhenzhen said, "You people from Immortal Metropolis are just lucky to have been born in Immortal Metropolis. You can get into college by studying casually. If you were in our place... I don't think you could even get into high school."
