On the scene, besides Ye Lingxiao, who was still undergoing treatment due to his severe injuries and unable to attend, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Yun Jing, and the four contestants from the Dao Heart and Mana tracks were all gathered here.
Zhang Yu observed the four contestants from the two tracks and could immediately tell that two of them were highly excited, practically writing the words 'Foundation Establishment Certificate' on their foreheads.
As for why Zhang Yu knew this, it was naturally because he had the same thought as them, itching to @ everyone he knew to show off the fact that he had passed the Foundation Establishment Qualification Exam.
In contrast, the other two looked dejected, like defeated dogs, making the outcome obvious.
Therefore, Zhang Yu's gaze lingered on the two winners. He remembered that in the first round of the Foundation Establishment Exam, this man and woman ranked 3rd and 5th respectively in total score.
Their ability to stand out among the many Xiandu students was naturally extraordinary, but initially, Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing's performances were too dazzling, overshadowing everyone else.
Later, due to the different tracks, Zhang Yu hadn't paid much attention to the other top students in Xiandu.
Now, seeing these two obtain the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate, Zhang Yu estimated that even if this man and woman were not as strong as Ye Lingxiao, they should still be at the top level among Kunxu's first-year high school students.
"Of course, compared to me and Ah Zhen, they are definitely much worse."
After a burst of excitement, these two students quickly noticed that one person was missing from the scene.
The male student walked to Yun Jing and asked curiously, "Where's Ye Lingxiao? Did he take the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate and run away?"
This male student had a well-proportioned figure, and his water-blue hair rippled like waves, obviously some kind of Dharma body.
His name was Sheng Jie, and he was the winner of the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate in the Mana track.
Yun Jing glanced at Sheng Jie with a gloomy expression and said coldly, "How would I know where he went?"
"But you can ask him."
Yun Jing glanced at Zhang Yu and said indifferently, "He should be in the same group as Ye Lingxiao, right? It seems like he won against Ye Lingxiao."
"Won against Ye Lingxiao? How is that possible?!" Sheng Jie revealed a hint of shock upon hearing this and turned his head to look at Zhang Yu's position.
Sheng Jie looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "This… you defeated Ye Lingxiao?"
Feeling the other party's shocked gaze, Zhang Yu tried to control the corners of his mouth from turning up, and said with a calm expression as much as possible, "Yes."
Bai Zhenzhen glanced at him from the side, thinking, "Yu Zi, ah Yu Zi, your desire to show off is almost showing on your face. You really can't hold back at all."
After seeing Zhang Yu nod slightly, Sheng Jie gasped in his heart and asked again, "Then where is he now?"
Zhang Yu recalled the process of Ye Lingxiao being treated and said faintly, "It seems like the injury was too serious, and he won't be able to recover in a short time, so he can't attend the award ceremony."
If Sheng Jie's gaze was already full of admiration after hearing Zhang Yu admit that he had defeated Ye Lingxiao, then at this moment, his gaze towards Zhang Yu was like looking at a monster.
He was shocked in his heart, "That Ye Lingxiao… he not only lost, but was also so seriously injured that even the gods couldn't heal him in a short time?!"
At the same time, the other contestants also looked over upon hearing this. As fellow Xiandu natives, they were also incredulous upon hearing what Zhang Yu said.
After all, which high school student in Xiandu didn't know the strength of Ye Lingxiao?
They couldn't imagine what kind of high school student would have to be to defeat Ye Lingxiao, and even seriously injure Ye Lingxiao to the point where he couldn't be healed in a short time during the competition.
At this moment, Zhang Yu, in their eyes, was no longer an ordinary outsider, but a super outsider, a foreign tycoon with unfathomable wealth.
At the same time, another female student who won the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate on the Dao Heart track noticed that Yun Jing's expression was gloomy and his condition was not good. She also asked, "Yun Jing, you… didn't you also lose?"
Yun Jing glanced at the woman who asked the question.
The other party's name was Tan Shishan, and she was also a Xiandu native like him. Although her wealth and grades were a little worse than his and Ye Lingxiao's, everyone usually belonged to the same circle, except that she was more inclined towards Ye Lingxiao and the Oasis Group.
But thinking that the guy who used to chase after him had actually obtained the Foundation Establishment Certificate this time, while he didn't, Yun Jing felt another wave of helplessness in his heart.
He knew that from this moment on, one side had the Foundation Establishment Certificate, and the other side didn't, just like the top 10 and top 30 in the grade, they might never be able to sit at the same table to eat again.
Yun Jing took a deep breath and didn't bother to hide it, after all, these people would know in a while, so he simply said, "Yes, I lost."
Unlike Ye Lingxiao, who was completely suppressed by Zhang Yu's strength and body in the end, Yun Jing, although he lost to Bai Zhenzhen, had a strong feeling of dissatisfaction and… regret in his heart.
Because Yun Jing could feel that in terms of hard strength, that woman was definitely not as good as him.
"If I could have been more careful… if I had changed my tactics at that time…"
Every time he reviewed the three battles with Bai Zhenzhen, Yun Jing became more and more angry and regretful. He was confident that if he could fight again, he would definitely be able to defeat her.
Just like making a mistake on the last question of the general knowledge exam due to carelessness, Yun Jing only hated that he was not careful enough, not meticulous enough, and did not pay enough attention to his opponent at that time.
Hearing what Yun Jing said, the Xiandu people present were once again shocked, not expecting that in addition to Ye Lingxiao, even Yun Jing had lost.
It should be known that when the groups were divided earlier, they all defaulted that the group where Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing were located must be the group of death, and everyone else besides them would inevitably be eliminated.
Therefore, they all tried to avoid the tracks where Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing were located, squeezing onto the Mana and Dao Heart tracks to compete for the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate, and in the end, Sheng Jie and Tan Shishan won the Foundation Establishment Certificate.
At this moment, the gazes of the Xiandu students towards Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen became even more different. The old clothes on the other party's body, the strip-like sports pants, and the garbage that could barely be called shoes, all seemed so unfathomable at this moment.
Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen's slightly red face and thought, "This guy Ah Zhen, his face is almost red but he's still pretending to be aloof? He really can't hold back."
Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Damn it, I really want to post a moment!"
However, the Xiandu students quickly recovered from this shock and began to think about the impact of this sudden accident.
Sheng Jie thought to himself, "But Ye Lingxiao lost, maybe it's a good thing. Do I… have a chance to replace his position to work for the Oasis Group?"
Sheng Jie's family, like the Ye family, planned to cooperate with the Oasis Group to launch a revolution, so he also knew some inside information.
And Ye Lingxiao, because of his more excellent grades, became the main propaganda object in the plan.
But now, Saint-Jie saw an opportunity. He, too, wanted to be a dog for the soon-to-descend Second-Level Master of the Oasis Group.
For Saint-Jie, the act of being a dog never carried any burden.
As long as the money was right, he'd even go so far as to * * the dog until they went bankrupt, but unfortunately, there are no truly good deals in this world.
Unlike the pampered young masters of Immortal Metropolis, Saint-Jie was born into a branch family and lived on the ground level of Immortal Metropolis since he was old enough to understand.
Because the sky was completely blocked by the Sky Citadel, he hadn't seen daylight until he entered high school.
Outsiders who came to Immortal Metropolis always praised how great the Immortal Metropolis young masters had it, with so many good cultivation conditions from childhood.
Every time Saint-Jie heard such words, he would scoff. Who said everyone in Immortal Metropolis was rich?
In his opinion, Immortal Metropolis had more poor people than any other city, because it was the most competitive place on the First Level of Kunxu, and the place where the most people were eliminated each year.
To him, many people on the First Level were merely dogs of the Level, and weren't the Level people just dogs of the Second Level?
In his eyes, Kunxu was like a gigantic dog fighting ring. Either you treated others as dogs, or you were someone else's dog.
And only by learning how to be a dog and how to train a dog could you climb all the way up in Kunxu, just like he had climbed from the First Level to the Level.
"That's not right."
Saint-Jie looked at Zhang Yu, thinking, "Could this guy also be recruited by the Oasis Group? Wouldn't that mean I'd have to compete with him?"
Thinking of this, Saint-Jie felt another wave of bitterness in his heart. How could he compete with this monster who could suppress Ye Lingxiao?
The newest and fastest novels are at 6_9_shu_ba!
"But maybe?"
Saint-Jie knew Ye Lingxiao's temperament; in his opinion, he was too aloof.
"Since this guy's strength is even greater than Ye Lingxiao's, then his family background and net worth must be unbelievably impressive."
Saint-Jie looked at Zhang Yu, sensing the other's cold, faint aura, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid his temper is even worse than Ye Lingxiao's. He's probably even more aloof and arrogant, and might not even want to serve the Second-Level Master of the Oasis Group. If that's the case, then I'll have a chance."
"Anyway, after the Foundation Establishment Exam ends, the examinee information will no longer be confidential."
"I'll immediately inquire about his background when I get back, see what his origins are, and see if I have a chance."
Just then, accompanied by the rippling divine light, the five True God examiners cast their figures down.
Deng Bingding, as the chief examiner, first encouraged the many examinees present, gave a bunch of platitudes, and then began to announce the results of the exam.
As the four recipients of the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate stood up one by one, Deng Bingding's gaze lingered on Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen for an extra moment, then looked at the four with a slight smile and said, "You four performed very well, using tenacious will, superb skills, and fearless courage to show the demeanor of Kunxu First Level high school students..."
"...Now, Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificates will be awarded to you."
After listening to the other party's long speech, Zhang Yu finally opened his eyes wide as the awards began. Under Huang Zichou's direction, he received a gold-stamped certificate with both hands.
Looking at the five large characters "Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate" on it, Zhang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
At the same time, Huang Zichou reminded him, "Keep the certificate at home, mainly for 기념. The electronic version is still the main thing to use usually."
Zhang Yu asked, "Does it come with special effects? Like the kind that hovers over your head."
Huang Zichou smiled slightly and said, "That requires you to study it yourself."
Nearby, Yun Jing and the other two losers were all looking at the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificates in the hands of the four people, the desire, envy, and jealousy in their eyes seeming to materialize.
Next was the interest-free loan of three million, which all the students present, regardless of victory or defeat, could receive.
Deng Bingding stretched out her hand and drew, and a huge red envelope appeared above everyone's heads, with the number 3 million written on it.
"Take it, it contains the interest-free loan of three million."
This was insignificant small money for people like Yun Jing and Saint-Jie, but for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, it was another large income, greatly alleviating their economic difficulties and filling their already empty wallets.
The two happily took the red envelopes, watching their account balances soar, and were already planning how to spend it.
As for using it to repay previous loans? That's not the style of us Kunxu people.
Next was the reward of an expert-level cultivation technique. Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had spent the past few months selecting various cultivation techniques and had already planned what they needed for their next step, and now they quickly reported the cultivation techniques they required, and would soon receive the usage rights and electronic versions of the techniques.
Finally, there was the item of a designated university teacher.
Deng Bingding looked at the four and said, "This reward will be given to you after you enter university."
"When you ascend to the Second Level and enter the University City, the local True God will contact you and designate a teacher for you."
"Which teacher to designate specifically will require you to understand it yourself at that time."
Speaking of this, she paused, and reminded, "After entering university, choosing the right teacher is very important. If it is difficult to decide for a while, you can choose not to choose first, and wait until you have enough understanding and certainty before choosing."
"Also, after this Foundation Establishment Exam ends, the information protection for the examinees will no longer continue. After you go back, you may encounter various universities and companies recruiting you in advance."
"My suggestion to you is... don't easily agree to any conditions."
Listening to Deng Bingding's words, Zhang Yu always felt that the other party was looking at him and Bai Zhenzhen when she was speaking, as if these words were specifically addressed to them.
"But..." he thought to himself, the Immortal Metropolis young masters around him must have known about this kind of thing for a long time. In comparison, he and Bai Zhenzhen were indeed the most lacking in understanding of this kind of thing.
Thinking again of the other party adding him as a friend and suppressing the Zhou family, Zhang Yu always felt that this True God seemed to have a subtle kindness towards him.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "I didn't give her a good impression talisman..."
With the complete end of the Foundation Establishment Exam, the examinees also left the examination hall one after another.
Deng Bingding looked at the empty examination hall in front of her, and understood in her heart that the results of this Foundation Establishment Exam would probably not be as unknown as in previous years.
After all, the Oasis Group and several families in Immortal Metropolis had decided to join forces to launch a revolution, and this Foundation Establishment Exam was used by them as a propaganda weapon.
"Even if Ye Lingxiao fails, it's just a matter of changing the propaganda target at most..."
Deng Bingding thought to herself that the impact of this exam would soon spread, but in the end, she did not know what kind of results it would cause.
"The God Department's large-scale intervention in the First Level by the Oasis Group, and even the actions of integrating the local wealthy families in the First Level... is there still no reaction? Is it because they are afraid of someone from the Nether Palace behind the Oasis Group?"
Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Zhang Pianpian's figures suddenly flashed through Deng Bingding's mind.
"Or have the Great Gods already made their moves in this exam?"
