Chapter 747 Each Displays Their Unique Abilities

Looking at True Monarch Xinghuo on the stage, Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "Because Xinghuo has sect experience, many people believe that following him will give them a better chance of passing the sect exam and breaking through the gate to the sect."

"Even most people in the classroom right now probably think that True Monarch Xinghuo is the most likely to pass this examination and succeed."

"But they are wrong. There is probably another person in this classroom who has a deeper understanding of the sect."

A confident smile appeared on Kuang Tianqing's lips: "That is... Zhang Yu!"

"Judging from my current memories of the sect over the years, Zhang Yu is very likely the reincarnation of some great figure."

"Only in this way can one stir up trouble in the lower realms, accomplish so many earth-shattering feats, and yet emerge unscathed, and even participate in this examination of lineage..."

"He is probably the person in this classroom who is most likely to make it to shore."

Kuang Tianqing thought to himself, "If I want to increase my chances of succeeding in the imperial examination, I should get closer to him and learn from him."

As for Kuang Tianqing himself... he had absolutely no chance of winning.

"Alas, I had already joined a sect long before the 'all-entry examination' was promoted, and I never experienced the complete sect examination training."

Although he had never participated in the imperial examinations, he had seen the frenzy of the candidates, even if he hadn't eaten pork.

"I can't do it..."

Kuang Tianqing murmured to himself, "Like those crazy people who are taking the sect exam, I can't transform myself beyond recognition, I can't even deny my own existence, I can't trample my self-esteem underfoot, and I can become a sect member whose body is ruthlessly filled with the sect's will until it bursts, and who is a sect member with extremely high purity... I can't do it, I can't do it!!"

In Kuang Tianqing's heart, that was something even more terrifying, more horrifying, and more unacceptable than the guidance of the eight Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Didn't my son say he would help me pass the exam? Why hasn't the help shown up yet?"

"Could it be imprinted on Zhang Yu's body?"

Just as Kuang Tianqing's thoughts were churning, Wen Wuyai from Tianjian University also entered this spiritual classroom.

"Next, I'll be taking a break from work to prepare for the exam."

Wen Wuyai understood very well that giving up all work in Kunxu was a huge risk and would inevitably require him to bear pressure from all sides.

In particular, the time allotted for this exam preparation was a full three months, something Wen Wuyai had never even dared to imagine before.

After all, not working for three months? What kind of person is that? A three-month gap on your resume is a huge disadvantage.

"If we fail..."

Wen Wuyai shook his head, thinking to himself, "I must succeed."

On the other side, Mo Shangjin looked at Tu Lishan and asked in surprise, "Teacher Tu, you're here too?"

Tulishan chuckled and said, "I'm not even two hundred years old yet, of course I can come."

At this moment, Tu Lishan was incredibly grateful for the University War. If it weren't for the over-issuance of certificates brought about by the University War, he would still be a Golden Core cultivator. The age limit for Golden Core cultivators to take the Grandmaster exam is 150 years old, and he originally did not meet the age requirement at all.

"Fortunately, I am already a Nascent Soul cultivator, not yet 200 years old, which is the perfect age to strive for the path of cultivation."

Several other teachers in similar situations as Tulishan came, and now they are all listening attentively to Xinghuo Zhenjun's explanation on the stage.

Soon, as Tu Lishan looked at the job description, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn it... why are there so few positions that the Civil Engineering department can apply for?!"

Mo Shangjin, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily, I switched to the weapon crafting department, which allows me to apply for many more positions than those in the civil engineering department alone."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ying Mingchi of Tianyao University looked at the positions suitable for demon descendants and thought to himself, "There are quite a few job positions that demon descendants can apply for. I have an advantage in the mount position, and I can also get close to the sect leaders."

After a day of study, True Lord Xinghuo directly manipulated the spirit world classroom in front of him and began the first simulated sect examination.

After all, with the 20x acceleration of the spirit world, they had already studied for the equivalent of 20 days, and it was time to test their learning results.

In an instant, the light and shadows before everyone's eyes changed, and they were already immersed in a series of illusions, beginning a simulation of the preliminary examination of the sect.

Even Xinghuo Zhenjun himself participated in this simulation test, while Deng Bingding watched his individual performance in the illusion.

Seeing Zhang Yu's slow reactions, stiff movements, and lack of sociability in sect social interactions, as well as his various subconscious discriminatory behaviors and insufficient demonstration of dedication to the sect, Deng Bingding shook his head.

"Zhang Yu's level of morality within the sect is seriously lacking, which is probably his biggest weakness in the future."

Zhang Yu also felt helpless about this. Even though he knew he needed to act in accordance with the principles of the Myriad Laws Sect, his subconscious and most genuine reactions were always hard to overcome. Even if he did overcome them, he often needed to think and take time, which would lead to him taking too long to answer questions.

In another scene, watching Bai Zhenzhen's sword energy suddenly go out of control and start fighting wildly in the illusion, Deng Bingding shook his head: "Bai Zhenzhen's situation is also troublesome. Her background in the Extreme Emotion Sword Path is already a negative factor, and with her performance in the illusion, the examiners above probably think she has a history of mental illness."

"Yu Xinghan's knowledge of the Dharma Realm is not deep enough; he still needs to experience a longer simulated environment..."

"Why is Kuang Tianqing so slow to react? Does he have to think about every question for so long? But his scoring rate is very high."

Shortly afterward, everyone finished their mock preliminary test, and the results were released.

Looking at the projected results, True Lord Xinghuo nodded slightly and said, "It's about what I expected; no one passed."

"Currently, the average score for this set of exam questions in the sects of the Upper Realm is... 560 points."

Upon seeing this, True Monarch Xinghuo also inwardly gasped.

He never expected that during the time he was away from the sect, the preliminary test, which originally had a total score of 200, had been changed to one with no upper limit on the total score. In other words, the more questions you could answer correctly within 3 hours, the higher your score would be. Then, the top-ranked candidates would be selected to pass the preliminary test. In this way, the average score of the preliminary test was directly pushed up to 560.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Thank goodness we don't have to take the exam. The competition up there is unbelievably fierce; there's no way we could pass."

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, True Lord Xinghuo looked at everyone and said, "After this simulation test, you should all know where your shortcomings lie."

"I hope everyone cherishes this opportunity and works hard."

Everyone present felt immense pressure as they looked at their scores.

...

Zhang Yu, who only scored 55 points, frowned slightly: "This kind of exam that requires changing one's instinctive reactions and even one's beliefs... is really troublesome."

"The candidates selected in this preliminary illusion are all from the most prestigious sects; it's a competition of whose sect has the highest purity."

Zhang Yu stroked his chin and said, "If I were to go up there and compete with the sect masters above in terms of purity, even if I won, I'd probably become the new sect master myself."

"Fortunately, the competition below is much less intense."

At the same time, a new question arose in Zhang Yu's mind.

"The requirement of entrance examinations for all has been in place for a long time. So how did the seniors who entered the sect from the ten schools succeed?"

"Back then, there were no sect exams below; everyone was selected and then went to the 11th floor to take the sect exam."

"If we could master their methods..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's gaze swept over Zhang Pianpian in his contacts again, and he sent his question to her.

Zhang Yu quickly received a reply from the other party.

Zhang Pianpian: One method I know of is memory transplantation.

Zhang Yu's heart stirred. Yes... if he could transplant the relevant memories, wouldn't he be able to make the most sect-like reaction?

Zhang Pianpian: But the side effect is that one's memory is completely compressed, right?

Zhang Pianpian: If a test taker has 50 years of memories, then they often need to transplant the memories of another person who successfully passed the exam into their body by 100 or 200 times.

Zhang Yu was shocked: 100 times? 200 times?!

Zhang Pianpian: When this method first appeared, many test-takers were able to pass the exam by transplanting 5 or 10 times the dosage. Later, in order to defeat these people, some people increased the dosage to 20 times, then 30 times, and finally several hundred times.

Zhang Pianpian: In this situation, the candidate's original 50 years of memories become insignificant, as most of their life is spent in a cycle of thousands of years of examination experiences.

"No... what the hell is this? Thousands of years of ancestral records?" Zhang Yu thought to himself. "They had to be rolled up like this to get ashore?"

And isn't this just possession? Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Imagine waking up to find yourself transformed into someone who has been reincarnating for thousands of years, while your past life experiences become as blurry and unimportant as memories from first grade.

Zhang Yu couldn't help but shake his head: "These guys... is it really necessary to go to this extent just to join a sect?"

...

Just as Zhang Yu was asking his question, Tian Shenggong from Immortal Soldier University also asked a similar question to the righteous god who had contacted him to join the cram school.

The other party's answer made his heart sink.

"To modify one's body, add an external brain, and completely hand over control of one's body and brain to the spirit of a sect in the upper spirit realm, severing all control over one's own consciousness?"

"If I do this... even if I get into a sect, will I still be myself?"

"Did I get into the sect through the entrance exam, or did the spirit of the artifact get in?"

"Can I change it back later?"

"If this goes on for too long, my mind and body will become out of sync, and my thinking will become completely alienated. Will I eventually become a puppet?"

Tian Shenggong sighed inwardly, "Are the seniors really willing to go to such lengths to get into the sect?"

...

Inside Hehuan University.

Lian Tianji saw the newly issued notice from the university. It turned out to be a notice from the new principal of Hehuan University, who was a disciple of a sect. They were willing to guide students in the sect entrance examination and teach them the methods that the seniors of Hehuan University used to enter the sect.

Upon seeing this, Lian Tianji was immediately tempted, but soon discovered that the registration was full in an instant.

"hateful!"

Next, Lian Tianji waited for the registration time every day, looking forward to the opportunity to receive guidance from the sect.

...

At Tianmo University, Kuang Tianqing looked at the righteous god who had taken the initiative to contact him and said, "I know without you saying it."

"Although no new people are being born there anymore, there are still quite a few reincarnated elders who are reborn in the sect every year."

"Before these elderly people die, they will sell a copy of the copyright of their memories. Someone will cut out the memories of their ancestors separately, then piece them together and sell them to other ancestors."

"Hmph... This kind of memory-synthesized human is prone to memory disorder if not handled carefully, turning into a madman. Even if he joins a sect, he will be a waste of resources. I would never choose this method."

...

The University of the Underworld.

Guided by the Yinquan God, Wang Yin met the righteous god before him and inquired about how the seniors of the Netherworld University had entered the sect.

The other party calmly replied: "First, work as an outsourced employee at the grassroots level of the sect to gain practical experience. This will naturally give you an advantage when you take the sect examination."

Wang Yin exclaimed in surprise: "They can even go to the grassroots level of the sect for practical experience? Is there really such a good thing?"

The other party said: "By becoming a shared physical body for the disciples of the Netherworld Palace and experiencing sect life, you will quickly grasp the Netherworld Palace's philosophy."

Wang Yin exclaimed in surprise: "A shared physical body?"

The other party said: "The entire Netherworld Palace is composed of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Sharing a physical body can be considered a kind of infrastructure."

Wang Yin said: Isn't that just like a brick or a door? That's too basic.

The other party said: "The bodies of top students from ten prestigious universities certainly won't be wasted; they'll definitely be assigned to good positions."

The other party continued: "But don't even think about it. All the outsourced positions at the Netherworld Palace have already been filled this year. You won't get a chance."

...

Inside Wanfa University.

A slight glint appeared in Yun Zhiguang's eyes, revealing the results of Zhang Yu and the others' first mock exam.

Seeing that no one in the class passed, Yun Zhiguang was not surprised at all.

"How could you possibly understand the difficulty of examining lineage records?"

“Don’t say there wasn’t enough time to prepare…” Zhang Yu’s image flashed through Yun Zhiguang’s mind: “How long have you been at the Nascent Soul stage? You haven’t even completed your cultivation, yet you’re already thinking about taking the sect exam.”

"Go ahead and crash into it, crash into it until you are utterly defeated and routed."

Yun Zhiguang sighed inwardly, "Without the examination of lineage, you see me as a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; after the examination, you see me as a mayfly seeing the blue sky."

...

Inside the research institute of the Great Void.

Zhang Yu's mind was immersed in the Taiqing Realm, his main body and 16 thoughts were busy making up for their master's level courses.

Apart from the make-up class on the first day, the subsequent make-up classes for Xinghuo Zhenjun will no longer be 24 hours, but 12 hours a day. With the addition of 20 times the acceleration of the spirit world, it is equivalent to 240 hours of study.

The remaining 12 hours in the real world are left for the candidates to arrange themselves, whether it's to strengthen their weaknesses, complete their studies and get their graduation certificate as soon as possible, or improve their self-cultivation.

One's own cultivation level is also of great help in the exam. On the one hand, the amount of cultivation level is one of the contents of the exam. On the other hand, the improvement of cultivation level helps to improve the cultivator's thinking ability, which is also very helpful for the exam.

At this very moment, Zhang Yu is accelerating his studies for his master's degree.

During the university wars of that time, although the school gave him the green light in all his exams, he still missed a lot of classes.

However, at this moment, he is studying at a speed of 17 times 20 times, and with the thinking speed of the Nascent Soul realm, he is confident that he can finish all the remaining courses today and complete the school exams and graduation thesis ahead of schedule in the next two days.

With the help of the Magnetic God and the Green Wood God, the entire Wanfa University gave Zhang Yu the green light and helped him complete the procedures in the fastest possible time.

After obtaining his master's degree at an astonishing speed, Zhang Yu began a new chapter of his spiritual practice.

The damaged magical artifact had been repaired thanks to the influence of Magnet God and Zhang Yu himself, who had asked the Refining Department and the Research Association to help them.

Zhang Yu, on the other hand, focused on his own cultivation.

Inside the research institute's quiet room, Zhang Yu's main body was honing his physical strength, while his sixteen demonic clones were cultivating the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal, one of the Seven Absolute Techniques of Earth and Wood.

"With the Nascent Soul Saint Body and these 16 clones, I estimate that I can upgrade the Xuanhuang Zhenyue Seal of the Seven Earth and Wood Techniques to level 40 in one day."

"In seven days, I will be able to push the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at level 40."

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, Zhang Yu has felt that he always has endless things to do and has never been able to wholeheartedly focus on self-improvement.

As a result, his basic data, as well as many martial arts and Taoist techniques, have never been able to fully realize the effects of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

Now, he can finally make up for his shortcomings in cultivation so that he can be in better condition to take the clan affairs officer exam.

"The preliminary test assesses personal cultivation, moral character, and aptitude for clan affairs..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "At my current pace, my personal cultivation level shouldn't be a problem, but the latter two..."

At this moment, Zhang Yu recalled the "Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture" and the actions of Fu Xiantian and Zhan Xian Zhenjun.

He couldn't help but think, "Could it be that I'm going to cultivate the 'Hell Cleansing Soul Scripture'?"

"I wonder if the 'Hell Cleansing Scripture' can connect with some ancient memories and infuse them into my mind."

However, Zhang Yu also knew that there was a risk that his own will would be altered or corrupted, and he had not yet made a final decision.

Just then, a flash of lightning appeared on Bai Zhenzhen's body, bursting out in a bright light mixed with the Extreme Emotion Sword Qi.

Zhang Yu knew that after Fu Ji's rank was raised, Bai Zhenzhen's potential was also enhanced, and that thunderous magic power became even more rapid.

However, this acceleration of thunderous magic power, when placed alongside Bai Zhenzhen's own Azure Lotus Sword Embryo and Extreme Emotion Sword Qi, appears insignificant.

Besides Bai Zhenzhen, Yu Xinghan on the other side also enhanced his potential once again. His Three-Eyed Divine Power entered a dormant state, seemingly brewing some kind of transformation.

Seeing the drastically different effects of the potential enhancement on Bai Zhenzhen and Yu Xinghan, one weak and one strong, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the potential enhancement of this evil god was truly illogical.

Thinking of this, he raised his palm, looked at the black symbols that were about to fill his palm, and wondered to himself, "What will be the effect of this new page of the Feather Scripture?"

Two days later, as the symbols in Zhang Yu's palm were completely filled, a new page of the Feather Book slowly unfolded in front of him.

I have a cold, a headache, and my brain is having trouble thinking. That's all for today. I'll try to post more tomorrow.
