Just as Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao activated their Divine Spirit Root combat suits.
Huang Zichou then said: "During these three exams today, all drugs are allowed without restriction."
"After all, the body's tolerance to drugs, whether potential and foundation are damaged due to drug use… these are all within the scope of today's exam."
With that said, the ground around them gently shook, and rows of medicine cabinets rose, various types of drugs already appearing in front of Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.
Huang Zichou continued: "You can take any of the drugs here."
"Of course, if you have brought your own medicine, you can use that too."
Saying this, Huang Zichou thought to himself: "Luckily, only these two are left in this round. Counting the money collected this time, I should be able to make a profit today."
Zhang Yu, looking at the rows of medicine cabinets, already had a glint in his eyes.
Although his mana and physical strength had already been raised to their limits, his Dao Heart could still be improved with drugs.
Recalling how he had scrimped and saved for the past three months, putting all his money into cultivation techniques, and hadn't had a chance to use drugs freely for a long time, eating until he was full, Zhang Yu's gaze towards the medicine cabinets became even more eager.
At the same time, Huang Zichou began to introduce the Divine Spirit Roots on their bodies: "The Divine Spirit Root you are using today is called the Xuanjia Spirit Root, which is mass-produced for military operations."
"Replenishing mana and stamina are just the most basic functions of the Xuanjia Spirit Root."
"Next, the Xuanjia Spirit Root will officially enter test mode."
"During the test mode, the stronger the physical performance you exhibit, the more the Xuanjia Spirit Root will increase its power."
"Although the extra functions of this battle suit have been removed, the Xuanjia Spirit Root has been completely preserved. As the power continuously increases, the Xuanjia Spirit Root will display more functions one by one. If there are any slight anomalies during this process, you two don't need to panic…"
Listening to Huang Zichou's words, Zhang Yu thought: "This sounds… how does it feel like he's showcasing the functions of this Xuanjia Spirit Root?"
Just as Zhang Yu was carefully listening to Huang Zichou's explanation, he suddenly heard a loud bang. A shockwave erupted from Ye Lingxiao's body next to him.
Zhang Yu casually deflected the incoming shockwave, turning his head to look in Ye Lingxiao's direction.
He saw that Ye Lingxiao's entire body was surging with energy, the air around him distorted, and the power number on his sleeve had already increased to 10%.
Huang Zichou smiled slightly, looking at Ye Lingxiao and saying: "You grasped it quite quickly. The test mode of the Xuanjia Spirit Root is to continuously increase the operating power of the physical body."
"The more you exert force, the more you exercise, the more you explode with power, the more you can stimulate the Xuanjia Spirit Root to increase its power."
The reason why Ye Lingxiao was able to grasp this so quickly was because, as the heir of the Ye Clan, he was not completely ignorant about Divine Spirit Roots.
Although he, as a high school student, did not have the authority to use Divine Spirit Roots, many of the people he knew belonged to government departments and had the authority to use Divine Spirit Roots.
He had seen others use Divine Spirit Roots since he was a child, and he already knew what to do in the test mode of Divine Spirit Roots.
Just now, he seemed to be standing still, but in reality, the Qi and blood throughout his body were surging, and each muscle was exerting force, which indeed caused the Divine Spirit Root's power to increase.
Huang Zichou continued: "When the power of the Xuanjia Spirit Root reaches 10%, it can activate the Spirit Machine Force Field, transmitting physical strength through the Spirit Machine to strike targets from a distance."
With that said, Huang Zichou gestured towards Ye Lingxiao, saying: "You can demonstrate it."
Ye Lingxiao obediently struck out with a palm.
Watching this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "Damn it, this is 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 body and operate your body can you improve the operating efficiency of the Divine Spirit Root."
Ye Lingxiao, on the other side, after releasing the restraints on his muscles, his figure suddenly swelled, instantly growing into a small giant, his Qi and blood surging even more intensely, erupting with waves of heat.
As a result of his actions, the power of the Divine Spirit Root indeed increased, the number on his sleeve soaring to .
On the other hand, Zhang Yu didn't make any movements. Instead, he calmly walked to the medicine cabinet and began selecting medicines that could improve his Dao Heart.
In the communication network of the True Gods, Huang Zichou, recalling the gap between Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao in the previous round, said: "Is this kid giving up? Just planning to freeload some medicine?"
Another True 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, the "Smiling Crying Emoji" in the audience said: "Mom, has Ye Lingxiao's opponent given up?"
"Smiling Emoji" casually said: "Ye Lingxiao is the strongest high school student in the first level after all. It's normal for his opponent to give up."
At the other end of the audience, a spectator with a cat head avatar looked at Zhang Yu and snorted: "Retreating without a fight, unwilling to risk even a little failure? Even if his talent is good, our Myriad Laws University doesn't need this kind of person."
Another representative of Myriad Laws University next to the cat head, with a husky head avatar, laughed: "Your Finance Department are all geniuses, saying you don't want him and you don't want him, but our Civil Engineering Department welcomes this kind of student."
"And didn't you look at 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 pass the Foundation Establishment Certificate. In the future, moving mountains and filling seas, building heavenly palaces, and even renovating and repairing Kunxu, he might become a good hand."
The cat head curled its lips, looking at Ye Lingxiao and saying: "This talent is indeed remarkable, but his Immortal Dao potential is still a bit lacking. Ultimately, he's still a bit short of being able to enter my Finance Department."
The husky head persuaded: "You're asking too much. He's already the heir of the wealthiest family in the first level. If you think his Immortal Dao potential is insufficient, then who in the first level 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 carefully select students?"
"Besides, our department hasn't accepted a student from the 1st level in over fifty years. If the school leaders hadn't asked me to take a look, do you think I would watch this Foundation Establishment exam from the first level?"
The husky head smiled and didn't speak. He also knew that the Finance Department valued Immortal Dao potential the most. The guys who got in were all arrogant. Apart from the other top-tier departments in Myriad Laws University, the other departments in their eyes were probably just security guards, workers, and service staff.
After all, even within the same university, the gap between departments was like a high mountain. The Finance Department's toilet was probably more fragrant than their Civil Engineering Department's dormitory.
Just then, the cat head suddenly said: "Old Dog, want to make a bet? I'll bet that Ye Lingxiao wins."
The husky head knew that this Finance Department guy's gambling addiction had flared up again, and shook his head helplessly: "I don't bet money."
Just as more people in the audience were focusing their attention on Ye Lingxiao.
Zhang Yu, in front of the medicine cabinet, was pleasantly surprised when he saw the medicine he had obtained.
"Hahahaha, these True Gods didn't cut corners. They're using good medicines that I usually can't afford to buy."
Although there weren't any top-tier goods like the Dao Comprehension Sustained-Release Capsules, Mana Meridian Injections, or Imitation Phoenix Function Factors from last time, there were still various second-best goods, making Zhang Yu even more excited.
Seeing that he could grab Dao Heart potions worth tens of thousands at random, Zhang Yu immediately poured them into his mouth in one go, 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 as if his brain had been wound up with layers of springs, his thinking becoming clearer, the operation of his mental cultivation method becoming faster, and the image of the Remnant Bull visualized in his mind becoming clearer.
Just then, a burst of light came from the examination hall.
Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that Ye Lingxiao's body was enveloped in a layer of spiritual light, like a circular protective shield, covering Ye Lingxiao from head to toe.
The number on Ye Lingxiao's sleeve, indicating the Divine Spirit Root's power, had already risen to .
Huang Zichou said from the side: "If the power of the Xuanjia Spirit Root can reach above 30%, it can activate a layer of Xuanjia Magic Shield, forming a layer of protective shield with mana, which can almost ignore military-grade threats and below."
At the same time, one could see strange patterns constantly emerging from Ye Lingxiao's undulating muscles, turning into pieces of dragon scales, which was the level 10 expert-level cultivation technique – Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power.
Immediately afterward, his fascia constantly expanded, and his skin began to turn blue-black, having activated the level 10 expert-level body protection cultivation technique – Elephant Demon Entangling Tendon Transformation.
As Ye Lingxiao activated one cultivation technique after another on his body, the power of the Divine Spirit Root continued to increase rapidly, soon breaking through the 40% mark.
He looked at Zhang Yu in the distance, who was still taking medicine, and thought to himself: "Isn't he going to start yet? Has he really given up?"
Thinking that his opponent had given up so easily, Ye Lingxiao suddenly felt a sense of boredom, a feeling of having prepared carefully for 3 months, but his opponent lay down before he could even exert any strength.
Just then, Zhang Yu felt a slight pain coming from his head, understanding that he had reached the limit of his Dao Heart potions.
Level 8 () → Level 8 ()
"Oh? My Dao Heart increased again?"
Wiping his mouth, Zhang Yu touched his stomach. He thought to himself: "Seven points full is about right. I'll stop taking medicine here for today."
He put down the medicine bottle and walked back to the center of the examination hall step by step, each step causing his muscles to vibrate.
This was Zhang Yu doing a simple warm-up by moving his muscles, bones, and internal organs throughout his body.
During this warm-up process, the power of the Xuanjia Spirit Root gradually began to rise.
