Chapter 235 Rewards Arrived, Undercurrents Surge

Except for Ye Lingxiao who was unable to attend the scene due to serious injuries and was still undergoing treatment, Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, Yun Jing, and the four contestants on the Dao Heart and Magic Power tracks were also gathered here.

Zhang Yu took a quick look at the four contestants on the two tracks and could tell at a glance that two of them were extremely excited, and the words "Foundation Building Certificate" were almost written on their foreheads.

As for why Zhang Yu knew this, of course it was because he now had the same idea as the other party. He wanted to @ everyone he knew and show off the fact that he had passed the foundation-building qualification certificate.

In contrast, the other two looked depressed, like dead dogs, so it was obvious who would win and who would lose.

So Zhang Yu's gaze lingered on the two winners. In his memory, this man and woman ranked 3rd and 5th in total scores in the first round of foundation-building exams.

Their strength was extraordinary enough to stand out among the many Xiandu students, but at the beginning Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing's performance was too dazzling, overshadowing everyone else's.

Later, because of the different tracks, Zhang Yu never paid much attention to other top students in Xiandu.

Now that he saw that these two people had obtained the foundation-building qualification certificate, Zhang Yu estimated in his heart that even if the strength of this man and woman was not as good as Ye Lingxiao, they should still be at the top level among the high school students in the first level of Kunxu.

"Of course, compared to me and Zhen, it's definitely much worse."

After a burst of excitement, the two students quickly noticed that one person was missing.

One of the male students walked up to Yun Jing and asked curiously, "Where is Ye Lingxiao? Did he take the foundation-building qualification certificate and run away?"

The male student who was speaking had a well-proportioned figure and a head of aquamarine hair that looked like rippling water waves. He was obviously also some kind of Dharmakaya.

His name is Shengjie, and he is the recipient of the foundation-building qualification certificate for this mana track.

Yun Jing glanced at Sheng Jie with a gloomy expression and said coldly: "How do I know where he went?"

"But you can ask him."

Yun Jing glanced at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "He should be in the same group with Ye Lingxiao, right? It seems that he has won against Ye Lingxiao."

"Winning Ye Lingxiao? How is that possible?!" Sheng Jie showed a hint of shock when he heard that and turned his head to look towards Zhang Yu's position.

As a top student at the 1.5th level of Xiandu, Shengjie knew very well how terrifying Ye Lingxiao was and how powerful his perfect bloodline was.

After all, as classmates in the same high school, Sheng Jie has been suppressed by Ye Lingxiao since he entered school until now, which can be said to be a shadow in his life.

And from the moment of registration, Shengjie could tell at a glance that Zhang Yu was a foreigner.

This is simply the opposite of Tiangang. An outsider actually came and snatched Xiandu Ye's foundation-building qualification certificate? Shengjie looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Hey... have you defeated Ye Lingxiao?"

Feeling the other party's shocked gaze, Zhang Yu tried hard to control the corners of his mouth from curling up, and said with as calm an expression as possible: "Yeah."

Bai Zhenzhen on the side glanced at him and thought to herself, "Yuzi, Yuzi, your desire to show off is almost visible on your face. You really can't keep your composure at all."

After seeing Zhang Yu nod slightly, Sheng Jie took a deep breath and asked, "Where is he now?"

Zhang Yu recalled the process of Ye Lingxiao's treatment and said calmly: "It seems that his injuries are too severe and he can't recover in a short time, so he can't come to the award ceremony."

If Sheng Jie looked at Zhang Yu with admiration after hearing him admit that he had defeated Ye Lingxiao, then at this moment he looked at Zhang Yu as if he was looking at a monster.

He was shocked and said, "That Ye Lingxiao... not only did he lose, but he was also so seriously injured that even the gods couldn't heal him in a short period of time?!"

At the same time, several other contestants looked over when they heard what Zhang Yu said. As they were all from Xiandu, they all looked incredulous when they heard what Zhang Yu said.

After all, which high school student in Xiandu doesn’t know how powerful Ye Lingxiao is?

They simply couldn't imagine what kind of high school student would be able to defeat Ye Lingxiao, or to injure Ye Lingxiao so badly in the game that he couldn't recover in a short period of time.

At this moment, Zhang Yu was no longer an ordinary outsider in their eyes, but a super outsider, a wealthy outsider with unfathomable wealth.

At the same time, another female student who had obtained the foundation-building qualification certificate in the Daoxin track had noticed that Yun Jing had a gloomy expression and was in a bad state. She also asked at this moment: "Yun Jing, you... didn't lose too?"

Yun Jing glanced at the woman who asked the question.

The other person's name is Tan Shishan, and she is also from Xiandu like him. Although her net worth and achievements are slightly lower than his and Ye Lingxiao, they all belong to the same circle on weekdays, but the other person is more on the side of Ye Lingxiao and Oasis Group.

But when he thought about the guy who had been chasing after him in the past, he actually got the Foundation Establishment Certificate this time, while he didn't get it, Yun Jing felt helpless again.

He knew that from this moment on, one of them had the Foundation Establishment Certificate and the other did not, just like the top 10 and the 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. He was not interested in hiding it. After all, these people would know it soon. So he simply said, "Well, I lost."

Unlike Ye Lingxiao who was completely suppressed by Zhang Yu's strength and body in the end, although Yun Jing lost to Bai Zhenzhen, he felt a strong sense of unwillingness and... regret in his heart.

Because Yun Jing could feel that in terms of hard power, that woman was definitely inferior to him.

"If I had been more careful...if I had used a different tactic..."

Every time Yun Jing reviewed the three battles with Bai Zhenzhen, he became angrier and more regretful. He was sure that if he could fight again, he would definitely defeat his opponent.

Just like he got the last question of the general education exam wrong due to carelessness, Yun Jing now hated himself for not being careful enough, not careful enough, and not taking his opponent seriously enough.

When they heard what Yun Jing said, all the people in Xiandu present were shocked. They didn't expect that in addition to Ye Lingxiao, Yun Jing would also lose.

You have to know that when they were grouped before, they all assumed that the group that Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing were in must be the death group, and except for the two of them, everyone else would definitely be eliminated.

So they all tried their best to avoid the track where Ye Lingxiao and Yun Jing were, and squeezed into the two tracks of magic power and Tao heart to snatch the foundation-building qualification certificate. In the end, Sheng Jie and Tan Shishan won the foundation-building certificate.

At this moment, the eyes of several Xiandu students looking at Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen became more and more different. The tattered coats, cloth-like sweatpants, and the garbage shoes on the other party seemed so unfathomable at this moment.

Zhang Yu looked at Bai Zhenzhen's slightly red face and thought to himself, "Ah Zhen, this guy, his face is almost red but he's still pretending to be cool? He really can't keep his cool."

Bai Zhenzhen thought to herself, "Damn it, I really want to post this on WeChat Moments!"

However, the students of Xiandu quickly recovered from the shock and began to think about the impact of this sudden accident.

Sheng Jie thought to himself, "But maybe it's a good thing that Ye Lingxiao lost. Do I...have a chance to take his place and work for the Oasis Group?"

Shengjie's family, like the Ye family, plans to cooperate with the Oasis Group to launch a revolution, so he also knows some inside information.

And Ye Lingxiao became the main publicity target in the plan because of his better performance.

But now Shengjie saw the opportunity, he also wanted to be the dog of the second-level master of Oasis Group who was about to come down to earth.

Being a dog has never been a burden to Shengjie.

As long as the money is enough, he can bully the other party into bankruptcy, let alone being a dog. It's a pity that there is no such thing as a cheap thing in the world.

Different from the other Xiandu gentlemen around him who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, Shengjie was born into a branch of the family and had been living in Xiandu since he was old enough to understand.

Because the sky was completely blocked by the floating city, he had never seen the daytime until he entered high school.

When outsiders come to Xiandu, they like to say how good Xiandu is and how many good conditions it has for cultivation since childhood.

Whenever he heard such words, Shengjie would sneer. Who said that everyone in Xiandu is rich?

In his opinion, there are more poor people in Xiandu than in any other city, because this is the place with the most intense competition in Kunxu, and it is also the place where the most people are eliminated every year.

To him, many people on the first floor are nothing more than dogs on the first and a half floor, and the first and a half floor are nothing more than dogs for the people on the second floor.

In his eyes, Kunxu was like an enormous dog farm, where he either treated others as dogs or was someone else's dog.

Only by learning to be a dog and training a dog can one climb up in Kunxu, just like he climbed from the 1st floor to the 1.5th floor.

"wrong."

Sheng Jie looked at Zhang Yu and thought, "Will this guy also be recruited by Oasis Group? Doesn't that mean I have to compete with him?"

Thinking of this, Sheng Jie felt angry again. How could he compete with this monster who could suppress Ye Lingxiao?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"But maybe?"

Sheng Jie knew Ye Lingxiao's temper. In his opinion, he was too arrogant.

"Since this guy is stronger than Ye Lingxiao, then his family background and wealth must be even more impressive."

Sheng Jie looked at Zhang Yu, feeling the other person's cold and indifferent temperament, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid his temper is worse than Ye Lingxiao's. I don't know how noble and arrogant he will be. He may not even want to serve the second-level master of Oasis Group. Then I will have a chance."

"After the foundation building exam is over, the candidates' information will no longer be kept confidential."

"As soon as I get back, I'll find out where he came from, and see if I have a chance."

At this moment, along with the rippling divine light, the five true divine examiners cast their shadows one after another.

As the chief examiner, Deng Bingding first encouraged the many candidates present, said a lot of clichés, and then began to announce the results of the exam.

As the four Foundation Establishment Certificate holders stepped forward one by one, Deng Bingding's gaze lingered on Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen for a moment longer. Then he smiled at the four of them and said, "You four performed very well. With your tenacious will, superb skills, and fearless courage, you have demonstrated the demeanor of high school students on the first floor of Kunxu..."

"...Now I will issue you the foundation-building qualification certificate."

After listening to the other party's long speech, the award ceremony finally began. Zhang Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and under the hosting of Huang Zichou, he took a gold-plated certificate with both hands.

Looking at the five big words "Foundation Building Qualification Certificate" on it, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, Huang Zichou on the side reminded: "Keep the certificate at home, it is mainly for commemoration. For daily use, it is better to use the electronic version."

Zhang Yu asked, "Are there any special effects? For example, the kind that hangs above your head."

Huang Zichou smiled and said, "You need to study it yourself."

On the side, Yun Jing and the other two losers were staring at the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificates in the hands of the four people. The desire, envy, and jealousy in their eyes seemed to be turning into reality.

Next is a three million interest-free loan, which all students present can get regardless of winning or losing.

Deng Bingding just stretched out his hand and a huge red envelope appeared above everyone's head with the number 3 million written on it.

"Take it. It contains a three million interest-free loan."

This was just a small amount of money for Yun Jing, Sheng Jie and others, but it was a huge income for Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen. It greatly alleviated their financial difficulties and filled their already empty wallets.

The two of them happily accepted the red envelopes, and as they looked at the skyrocketing balance in their account, they began to plan how to spend the money.

As for using it to pay off previous loans? That's not the style of us Kunxu people.

The next reward was an expert-level martial arts technique. Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had been selecting various martial arts techniques over the past few months and had already planned what they would need next. At this moment, they quickly reported the martial arts techniques they requested and would soon receive the copyright and electronic version of the techniques.

The last item is the designated teacher of the university.

Deng Bingding looked at the four people and said, "This reward will be given to you after you enter university."

"When you reach the second floor and enter the university town, the local gods will contact you and assign a teacher for you."

"As for which teacher to appoint, you will need to find out for yourself when the time comes."

She paused here and reminded, "After entering university, it is very important to worship the right teacher. If you can't make a decision at the moment, you can choose it first and wait until you have enough understanding and confidence."

"Also, after this foundation building exam is over, the information protection for candidates will no longer continue. After you return, you will most likely encounter early recruitment by various universities and companies."

"My advice to you is... don't agree to any conditions easily."

Zhang Yu listened to Deng Bingding's words and always felt that the other party was looking at him and Bai Zhenzhen while speaking, as if these words were specifically addressed to the two of them.

"But..." He changed his mind and realized that the other guys in Xiandu who were around must have known about this kind of thing a long time ago. In comparison, he and Bai Zhenzhen were the ones who knew the least about this kind of thing.

Thinking back to the fact that the other party had added him as a friend and suppressed the Zhou family, Zhang Yu always felt that this righteous god seemed to have some goodwill towards him.

Zhang Yu thought to himself: "I didn't put the talisman in properly..."

As the foundation-building exam came to an end, the candidates left the exam room one after another.

Deng Bingding looked at the empty examination room in front of him, knowing in his heart that the result of this foundation-building exam would probably not be as unknown as in previous years.

After all, Oasis Group and several families in Xiandu decided to join forces to launch a revolution, and this foundation-building exam was used by them as a propaganda weapon.

"Even if Ye Lingxiao fails, the most he can do is change the target of his publicity..."

Deng Bingding thought that the impact of this exam would spread quickly, but she didn't know what the final result would be.

"The Divine Department has interfered with the Oasis Group on such a large scale, and even integrated the actions of the local nobles... Haven't they reacted yet? Are they worried about someone in the Nether Palace behind the Oasis Group?"

The figures of Zhang Yu, Bai Zhenzhen, and Zhang Pianpian suddenly flashed through Deng Bingding’s mind.

"Or have the masters already made their moves in this exam?"
