Chapter 223: Spiritual Roots (Thanks to 'Yuxian Qitian' for giving Bai Zhenzhen 10 pairs of external spiritual root socks)

There had never been spectators in previous foundation-building exams. In Zhang Yu's opinion, this was to protect student information so that the candidates' situation would not be known to the outside world.

"But what does this situation mean now?"

"Are we going to announce the test results to the world?"

Zhang Yu frowned and looked at the audience seats around him. Suddenly, he realized that the people in the audience seats were all bizarre. There were cartoon characters, game characters, and some even looked like emoticons. Only a few people looked like real people.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Is this remote viewing via the Internet?"

Shortly after Zhang Yu arrived at the examination room, Ye Lingxiao also arrived. When he saw the audience in the auditorium, he was also slightly stunned.

At the same time, the voice of the righteous god Huang Zichou had reached the ears of Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

"Don't be nervous, both of you. These audiences are all from various universities on the second floor of Kunxu. They are not from the first floor of Kunxu."

"After watching your competition, they will go back and report to their respective schools and departments, and offer you better packages when you apply for university in the future."

"This is an opportunity that the Ministry of God has specially fought for for you, so that you can stand out in this final examination. When you ascend to the second floor in the future, you will also have more development opportunities."

As for whether being watched like this would affect the performance of the candidates, that was not something that Huang Zichou and other gods considered at all.

How can a strong person not be watched? Not to mention being watched, participating in live broadcasts, shooting commercials, speaking on stage, being cyberbullied... Under countless eyes and gazes, experiencing various big scenes, and maintaining mental stability, calmly exerting one's own strength, these are the qualities that a strong immortal must possess.

If a candidate becomes too nervous because of the crowds of people watching, or even performs poorly, ultimately missing out on the foundation-building qualification certificate, it only shows that the candidate's qualifications and talents are still insufficient.

When Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao heard Huang Zichou's words, they were both shocked.

Zhang Yu felt that he understood. This was the teacher from the admissions office coming down to select outstanding talents, right? "If I get the foundation-building qualification certificate in this exam, will several of the top ten universities come to compete for me in the future? Will they offer me better conditions?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu became more and more excited. As the blood and qi in his body surged and his body temperature rose, he looked forward to the upcoming exam more and more.

Huang Zichou looked at Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao, who were obviously more excited, and thought to himself: "The benefits are indeed benefits for you."

"But we can also collect some admission fees and start a gambling game to help us get some money back."

"These two guys ate too much in the last round, and they consumed a lot of the exam budget."

Huang Zichou then continued to say to the two people: "In addition to this benefit, the winner of this exam can get a 3 million interest-free loan, choose any expert-level technique, and have the opportunity to get a designated teacher after entering university."

"The loser will also receive a 3 million interest-free loan, an expert-level technique, and extra points for the future foundation-building exam."

After listening to this, Zhang Yu thought to himself: "A designated teacher?"

Zhang Yu had heard from Fu Ji that after entering university, it was very important to pay homage to the right teacher.

On the second floor and above of Kunxu, for most people, a master is more important than family background.

Zhang Yu glanced at Ye Lingxiao beside him again, and seeing the other party's slightly excited expression, he knew that this must be a very good reward, otherwise a rich man like the other party would not be so excited.

Then Huang Zichou talked about the rules of the final round of foundation-building examination.

"This final round of your foundation building exam consists of three levels in total."

"The focus of the test is not only your current strength, but also your potential after building your foundation in the future. It is to choose which of you is more qualified to build your foundation first..."

…

Just as Huang Zichou was explaining today's examination rules.

There are two emojis having a conversation in the audience.

A smiling face said, "Did you see that? He is Ye Lingxiao. When you are transferred to the first floor to take charge of the work of Oasis Group next month, this Ye Lingxiao will assist you in the Oasis Group."

Next to the smiling emoji was a crying laughing emoji, who replied, "Oh? So this should be Ye Lingxiao, who is going to get the foundation building qualification certificate today?"

Smiley Emoji nodded and said, "The average IQ and learning ability of the first-tier students are indeed a bit poor, but there are still some talented people. Ye Lingxiao is a good example."

"Besides, the Ye family behind him is also quite powerful in the first floor. They are not from a small family and are poor. They know the rules better."

"When he comes to assist you on behalf of the Ye family, you must remember..."

When "Smiling Emoji" was halfway through her words, "Laughing and Crying Emoji" interrupted her: "Mom, I know. Don't worry, I will be respectful and treat them well. I won't bully them."

Upon hearing this, Smiley Emoji sighed and said, "I'm not afraid that you will bully them, I'm afraid that you will be deceived by them."

"Son, you are too soft-hearted and tend to be too nice to your servants."

"You have to remember one thing. These people are just like the dogs you raised before. If you treat them too well and let them eat too much, they will think they can really be on an equal footing with you, and they will think things they shouldn't think about. They may even want to get on the table and bite you back."

"You have to learn to let them go hungry, feed them with your own hands, and beat them, so that they know to be afraid of you."

"Remember, you are here to control them, not to make friends with them..."

Listening to the long speech of "Smiling Emoji", "Laughing and Crying Emoji" was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "How did I get fooled?"

The "Smiling Emoji" said: "Last time you used the legal murder warrant, you didn't kill anyone, and you paid so much money to those passers-by..."

The "Laughing and Crying Expression" said helplessly: "I don't kill people in the first place."

"Look, since I got my murder certificate, when have I ever killed anyone?"

"I was in need of Taoist materials that time, so I wanted to use the hands and feet of passers-by to cast a spell. In order to avoid misunderstandings with the gods, I used the murder certificate. As for the payment afterwards, it was like buying the flesh and blood of the locals..."

"Smiling Emoji" sighed and said, "That's too much money. It's just a few tricks, but it's the price of murder."

"If your father were here, he wouldn't have paid such an unfair amount of money. You are too soft-hearted... Son, you have a murder certificate. You didn't kill illegally, you killed legally. You can get a discount when you pay compensation. What's more, the people you killed were all unregistered, so they are even less valuable."

"If you continue to spend money like this and don't know how to take advantage of discounts and offers, no matter how much money we have at home, it won't be enough for you to squander."

…

In the examination room, Huang Zichou had already explained the content and rules of the first level of the exam.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In order to examine the physical potential of the two, they will be temporarily granted divine roots in this stage.

Divine spiritual roots surpass human spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots, and are recognized as military-grade powers. Until now, they have only been available to the military and some special government departments.

When Zhang Yu heard that he could temporarily use his divine root in this exam, his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Sure enough, the standards of this foundation building exam are very high."

"I can actually use the divine root in the examination room..."

The specific content of the assessment is to compare how much the performance of Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao's divine roots can be exerted respectively.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "According to the examiner, if you want to break through to the foundation-building stage, you need to plant your spiritual roots in your dantian, and transform them into your new organs when you break through, so as to promote the sublimation of your body and mind, and finally enter the foundation-building stage..."

Zhang Yu knew very early that in order to break through to the foundation-building stage, in addition to a 10th-level Dao heart and 60 points of mana, the most important thing was spiritual roots.

According to Huang Zichou's description, in the process of breaking through the foundation and planting spiritual roots, the stronger the body is, the fewer hidden injuries, damage, defects, and even impurities and toxins in the body... the more the performance of the spiritual roots can be brought into play, and the stronger the power will be after breaking through the foundation.

Huang Zichou thought to himself, "High school students in the Qi Refining Stage often use any means necessary to improve their cultivation. They are eager for quick success and use many methods to boost their potential to improve their grades."

"During this process, it is easy to leave too many hidden injuries and toxins in the body, which will damage the potential and the foundation."

“Often, two people who seem to be equally strong physically will have very different achievements after building their foundations because of this reason.”

"The Divine Root stage is to test this aspect."

The reason why the divine roots were used was because the upper limit of the heavenly spiritual roots was still a bit low in the eyes of the righteous gods, and they were worried that they could not measure the gap between the two.

At the same time, two long black boxes were seen being delivered to Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

When Zhang Yu opened the box, he saw a black combat uniform appear in front of him.

Huang Zichou introduced: "This is an external spiritual root, a divine spiritual root combat suit specially designed for the military. However, except for all the extra functions, only the most basic divine spiritual root is left."

"Once you put it on, the divine root will enter your body, providing you with an endless supply of mana and physical strength..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu changed into a black combat uniform. The black top and pants wrapped up his entire body.

The next moment, he felt that the clothes seemed to come alive, and there seemed to be countless tentacles connected to his skin, as if they were glued to his skin.

Huang Zichou continued, "Use your magic power to penetrate this divine root combat suit, and you can activate the divine root inside it."

As Zhang Yu poured his magic power into the combat suit, the entire suit suddenly tightened and fit his body further.

At the same time, the inspiration in the air seemed to make a loud bang and rushed towards him like a tsunami.

Endless inspiration poured into the combat suit, and the next moment turned into streams of pure magic power, merging with the magic power that Zhang Yu poured into the clothes. It was like an extracorporeal magic power circulation, and began to replenish Zhang Yu's magic power endlessly.

In addition, an endless amount of spiritual inspiration was transformed into essence and injected into Zhang Yu's body, replenishing his physical strength.

In just a moment of breathing, Zhang Yu felt that his magic power and physical strength had recovered to their peak state.

And on the cuff of his combat uniform, a number 0.03% suddenly appeared.

This means that he is only exerting 0.03% of the power of his divine root at this moment.
