Chapter 124 Examination Process

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard what the evil god said in his mind.

The evil god had been extremely opposed to him giving up the Tianjiao class and staying in Songyang City. Why did he suddenly change his mind? As if sensing Zhang Yu's confusion, the evil god continued in Zhang Yu's mind: "After hearing what Zhang Pianpian said, I also remembered something."

"I once heard from the Evil God King on the third underground floor that there was a fight on the upper level of Kunxu that involved the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate Examination."

The evil god still remembers that at that time he had fallen to the third underground level of Kunxu to work.

As a result, with just a phone and a phone book, he became the best-selling product of the month. He even cheated several PhDs from universities. Not only did he receive rewards from the Evil God King, he also attended the Evil God King's dinner party and heard many secrets at the party.

The evil god thought to himself, "What a pity! The next month, the evil god king cheated me of my sales skills and bonus. He even sold these skills to a bunch of unemployed college students who fled to the third underground floor. He then hired these college students to work for him, and eventually kicked me out, forcing me to find a new job all over again..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and at this moment the evil god continued, "I remember hearing the evil god king sigh that in order to increase the mobility of the middle and lower levels of Kunxu, the Immortal Venerable promoted a series of quota reforms for qualification exams, including changes in the quota for the foundation-building qualification certificate."

"But we also have to consider the disciples and descendants of each immortal, weigh the number of disciples of the ten major sects, and balance the strength of different factions in the Heavenly Court. The interests involved are so complicated that I don't know how many struggles have unfolded."

"Anyway, in the end, some immortals went bankrupt from gambling, some went astray and died in their caves, and some even fled to an unknown area a dozen levels underground in Kunxu."

"But it is precisely because the struggle was so fierce that the final Foundation Establishment Qualification Examination was full of authority. It represents the ultimate common will of the Ten Great Sects and the Heavenly Court composed of the immortals of the Ten Great Sects."

"So you don't have to worry about your safety when taking this exam. Just like what Zhang Pianpian said, the top forces at the first level dare not violate the exam rules, let alone cheat. The most they can do is cover up the news outside the exam room and try their best to improve the strength of their students."

Sensing that Zhang Yu was thinking about what he said, the evil god quickly continued, "And if you get this foundation-building qualification certificate before entering university... it will be a huge advantage, because this exam set by the Heavenly Court itself is very authoritative. It is simply that those who pass it are hand-picked to be one of the strongest high school students on the first floor."

"When you enter university with this certificate, the treatment you receive, the courses you study, and the resources you get will definitely be very different."

"Especially since you can directly enter the university's foundation-building class, directly study foundation-building courses, and enjoy foundation-building-level resource support, this will give you a huge advantage in the early stages of university, far greater than the Tianjiao class."

Zhang Yu understood what the evil god meant. The difference is even greater than that between a key high school and an ordinary high school, right?

"Secondly, whether it's Bai Zhenzhen or Zhang Pianpian, they don't understand how terrifying your talent has become after my enlightenment."

"According to my observations during this period, as you master more and more skills, your progress will only get faster and faster. I firmly believe that you will become the strongest high school student on the first floor of Kunxu, and it will be easy for you to pass this foundation-building qualification exam."

"By comparison, with your terrifying qualifications, competing for the foundation-building qualification certificate with those high school students who have entered the immortal path for no more than three years in high school may be easier than competing for the foundation-building qualification certificate with so many peak Qi refining guys in college."

The evil god sighed, "If I wasn't broke now, I would go all in on you."

Of course, the evil god still had some words to say, some words in her heart that she didn't say for her own real purpose.

That is, once Zhang Pianpian leaves, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen will stay in Songyang City and face an increasingly stressful environment. Zhang Yu will inevitably continue to pursue stronger strength, stronger talent, and stronger potential.

In this case, the evil god judged that Zhang Yu would eventually follow her guidance to hunt the evil god in order to enhance his potential.

Apart from that, there is the issue of true spiritual roots.

"You're not even willing to betray your best high school classmate, and you still want to climb up in Kunxu? You're such a saint! If it weren't for your great potential, I wouldn't bother to care about you."

The evil god knew that Zhang Yu was unwilling to kill people to seize their roots. Even if he went to the Tianjiao class alone, he would not have the support of the true spiritual roots. Instead, he stayed to take the foundation-building certificate and could continue to use the true spiritual roots to practice.

After such comprehensive consideration, the evil god agreed to let Zhang Yu stay and take the foundation-building qualification certificate exam.

And what the evil god said did remind Zhang Yu something.

"My greatest advantage is that I can quickly learn various techniques and upgrade them to level 10."

“It’s hard for other high school students to match my advantage in just three years.”

“However, once I got to college, those college students who had been practicing Qi for longer than me and had already reached the peak of Qi practice must have mastered many techniques.”

"After all, for college students whose Dao heart, magic power, and physical strength have all reached the upper limit of Qi Refining, one of the ways to further distinguish their strengths... should be the number and strength of their skills."

"By that time, my advantage over these college students...will not be as great as it is now over high school students."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu was becoming more and more inclined to stay and take the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate exam.

Zhang Pianpian, who had been observing Zhang Yu, also sighed at this moment: "It seems that you have decided to stay with Bai Zhenzhen?"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yu finally nodded, and at the same time a strange emotion arose in his heart.

It’s just like...if I choose not to go with Zhang Pianpian and stay with Bai Zhenzhen, I will feel sorry for Zhang Pianpian.

It was like telling Zhang Pianpian: Sister, Ah Zhen and I are the best. If you two ask me to choose one to follow, I will choose Ah Zhen.

And Zhang Pianpian has been protecting them for more than four months...

This strange emotion made Zhang Yu feel a little ashamed under Zhang Pianpian's gaze.

Bai Zhenzhen, who was standing aside, looked at Zhang Yu, and her heart gradually became agitated, as if a warm current was flowing through her body.

"Yuzi really has to stay and take the foundation building certificate exam with me."

Thinking of this, the previous feeling of loneliness and the darkness and coldness of being deep in the glacier seemed to be swept away, replaced by a feeling of security.

Along with this feeling of security and the excitement in my heart, even the true spiritual root in my stomach began to vibrate slightly.

"Why is this broken spirit so excited? Is he so attached to Yuzi's body? Does he want to get in so badly?"

But Bai Zhenzhen changed her mind and realized that the feedback from her true spiritual root might be her own thoughts, a thought that she wanted to be nice to Zhang Yu after seeing that Zhang Yu stayed to take the foundation-building certificate exam with her.

The best way for Zhang Yu is to stuff the true spiritual root into the other person's body. After all, this is the most valuable thing on Bai Zhenzhen's body.

In Kunxu, this kind of behavior of lending one's most valuable thing to another person is often rarely done even by close relatives. It can usually only be done after signing a contract, including but not limited to lending one's brain, heart, kidneys... to the other party.

Bai Zhenzhen realized what she was thinking at the moment, and her eyes turned a little differently when she looked at Zhang Yu. She thought to herself, "Ayu, from now on you will always be number one in my friendship ranking. You will be my best friend in the world, and you will make me call you dad every day."

Zhang Pianpian looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Since you have decided to stay, then stay. After all, the path to immortality is chosen by yourself and you walk out step by step."

"But since you have decided to stay, don't regret it."

"In the next period of time, you must seize every minute, every second, and every dollar to practice."

"The foundation-building qualification exam for the first level of Kunxu is divided into three rounds."

"It's mid-April now. After registering in mid-June, the first round of exams will be in August. The exam tests your overall quality and is the easiest of the three rounds of exams. But you must at least reach the level of a senior high school student to have a chance of passing."

"The second round is the specialty test in October. Students will be assessed separately in four areas: Taoism, magic power, sports, and martial arts. At this time, students must reach the level of first place in the city's senior high school competition to have a chance to pass."

"The third round will be the final exam in early January next year. The remaining students will compete with each other to determine the strongest in the four areas of Dao Heart, Magic Power, Sports, and Martial Arts. The strongest will be awarded the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate..."

Zhang Yu listened to the three rounds of examinations and gradually outlined the examination framework for the foundation-building qualification certificate in his mind: "This competition is not ultimately about the students' comprehensive qualities. The key screening criteria are the specialties in the four areas of Taoism, magic power, sports, and martial arts."

"Indeed, they are high school students after all. Of course, they can't be as good at everything as those college students who have been training for a long time in the Qi Refining Stage. So the students this exam wants to select... are four genius students with extremely high specialties in four different directions."

"If you want to pass the exam, the key lies in how long your longboard is."

Zhang Yu then asked curiously, "Where is the exam location?"

Zhang Pianpian said: "Both registration and examination will be held in Xiandu."

Xiandu City is the most prosperous and largest super metropolis on the first layer of Kunxu, and its scale far exceeds that of Songyang City.

Zhang Yu remembered that Xiandu was about 1,500 kilometers away from Songyang.

Thinking that the entire exam was not only divided into three rounds and spanned half a year, but the examination venue was in Xiandu, thousands of miles away, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Zhenzhen: "This exam is really time-consuming. I'm afraid I'll have to take a lot of vacation time. And transportation, accommodation, and food will also cost a lot, right? I saw online that prices in Xiandu are very expensive."

Zhang Pianpian nodded and said, "The examination location and time are themselves a kind of screening criteria."

"It seems like you haven't obtained an intercity pass yet? If you want to leave the city, especially to Xiandu City, you must apply for an intercity pass. You must provide proof of education, income, and proof of renting or housing..."

Zhang Yu nodded slightly. After hearing about the arrangements before and after the exam, as well as the requirements for the intercity pass, he felt as if he had heard something:

If you are a poor person who has no spare money or free time, or cannot even afford to rent a house, don't even think about taking this exam. Just stay in your hometown and work peacefully.
