Chapter 756 The Last Poor Guy to Break Through the Heavenly Gate! (Bonus Chapter 1000+)
As Zhang Yu narrated, some hidden ingenious ideas in the "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique" gradually came to light.
This martial art clearly exhibits characteristics of demonic martial arts.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "It's like taking the original general martial arts and making a specialized innovation for the demon race, making it more suitable for the demon race, and allowing the demon race to unleash even more wonders in their hands."
"But it was hidden very cleverly. If I didn't have experience in breeding demonic beasts and transforming into a demonic offspring, I probably wouldn't have been able to see it."
"It's just that I don't know why this point wasn't mentioned in the introduction to the Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Technique."
Is it to sell to human cultivators? Is it because they're worried that the reputation of demonic martial arts will affect sales? Or is there some other reason?
Zhang Yu was unaware of the inside story; he simply shared the answer he had obtained after wholeheartedly solving the problem, thus completing the solution to the final interview question.
As Zhang Yu gave his answer, the air inside and outside the examination room seemed to freeze.
Yun Zhiguang stared intently in the direction of the examiner, awaiting the final judgment of this interview.
Countless viewers on floors 1 to 10 of Kunxu held their breath, watching the live broadcast with bated breath, waiting for the examiners' final scores.
Under the confident gazes of Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun, their scores appeared simultaneously.
Zhang Yu scored 98 points, and Wuxiang Zhenjun scored 59 points.
Upon seeing this scene, countless viewers immediately began to calculate in their minds and instantly obtained the total score for the two.
"Zhang Yu 325, Wu Xiang 294..." Seeing this, Yun Zhiguang sighed inwardly: "This kid still managed to get into the sect."
Yun Zhiguang understood that with only one person to be selected in this interview, such a large score difference had completely eliminated any possibility of Wuxiang Zhenjun snatching Zhang Yu's place in the sect.
Ying Mingchi watched this scene with excitement: "Success! He successfully joined the sect by relying on his understanding of the demon race. This is a victory for the demon race, a victory for the demon blood within Zhang Yu!"
At the same time, deafening cheers erupted throughout Songyang City on the first floor.
Wang Hai led the applause, watching the scene with great excitement. He was already thinking about building a group of statues depicting Zhang Yu's nine-step success at the school, and how to use this event to motivate students to improve their grades.
Lei Jun, Zhang Yu's former martial arts teacher and now the most famous gold medal martial arts instructor in Songyang City, was also watching this scene. He smiled with emotion and said, "I told you... martial arts are very useful! I never thought that you, Zhang Yu, would be able to open the door to the Wanfa Sect with martial arts."
At this moment, the audience traveled through the spirit world to Zhang Yu's accounts on various platforms and left their own messages.
For a considerable period of time to come, the accounts Zhang Yu left on various platforms will become famous historical sites in the spirit world, receiving messages from generation after generation of students taking the college entrance examination and the sect examination.
Inside the interview room, as the interviews concluded, the information isolation on Zhang Yu and Wuxiang Zhenjun was lifted one after the other.
When Wuxiang Zhenjun first saw Zhang Yu's score, he was stunned. Then, his eyes changed drastically. Shock, anger, and fear surged violently in his mind and finally turned into a deep-seated despair that enveloped his entire body.
"How is that possible?"
"How could Zhang Yu possibly score so much higher than me?"
Wu Xiang Zhenjun could not imagine, much less believe, how Zhang Yu could have surpassed him by so much in the last four questions.
"A conspiracy! Cheating!"
These were the two points that came to his mind first.
But looking at the radiant aura emanating from the four examiners before him, he dared not utter these words from his heart.
Wuxiang Zhenjun stumbled out, not even knowing how he left the Dao Palace.
On his way out, he connected to the spirit world and frantically scrolled through the recorded footage of Zhang Yu's job interview.
As Zhang Yu's performance on each question unfolded before his eyes, the resentment and anger on Wuxiang Zhenjun's face gradually transformed into surprise, shock, and dejection...
"Wow... such a big difference?"
Looking at Zhang Yu's back in front of him, Wu Xiang Zhenjun thought about his two lifetimes of cultivation, and how even when he had an advantage, he had still been left far behind by the other party. He felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he could not defeat him no matter how hard he tried.
In particular, the scene of Zhang Yu finally succeeding in the nine steps and pushing the "Nine Heavens Divine Elephant Skill" to level 20 in one go was deeply imprinted in his mind, making him realize that this would be a scene he would never forget.
Why did I encounter such a strong opponent?
Jealousy seemed to be devouring Wuxiang Zhenjun's heart, making him wish he could become Zhang Yu.
But no matter what Wuxiang Zhenjun thinks, at this moment no one cares about the fate of this loser.
Yun Zhiguang's full attention was now focused on several other interviews that were being conducted simultaneously.
"Although True Monarch Wuxiang failed to eliminate Zhang Yu as I wished, he only allowed a lower-level person to enter the sect."
"As long as the lower-level candidates in other rounds are eliminated, and the number of lower-level candidates who pass the interview remains below five, we can still prevent the examination system from becoming the norm..."
Unlike Zhang Yu's interview, the positions that Bai Zhenzhen and the others applied for did not have any competing candidates from the "reincarnation" system during the interview stage. Therefore, as long as the candidates could pass the minimum score, they could pass the interview.
Yun Zhiguang thought to herself, "Four questions, the passing score is 240 points."
"As long as you score 240 or above, you've passed the interview."
Although it sounds much simpler, in Yun Zhiguang's mind, the other candidates' abilities are far weaker than Zhang Yu's.
"As long as the questions are difficult enough, they can definitely be kept below the passing grade."
At this moment, in Yun Zhiguang's heart... the power of the sect seemed to transform into a giant hand, about to slap the other five examinees away one by one, firmly pressing them below the passing mark.
Of all the other interviews she was watching, the one that attracted her attention the most at that moment was the interview room where Bai Zhenzhen was.
...
When Yun Zhiguang looked towards Bai Zhenzhen's interview room, the other party had already faced the last question.
A magnificent force descended from the sky, like a sword of light formed from the will of heaven and earth, directly slashing towards Bai Zhenzhen's location.
Before the sword even arrived, the terrifying sword intent swept in all directions, slashing countless bloody marks on Bai Zhenzhen's body, as if turning her into a blood-soaked figure in an instant.
Seeing this, Yun Zhiguang's heart stirred: "To carry out missions on the Sky Patrol Platform, one needs formidable combat power. And this last question is... that the examiner launches a cross-level attack, and Bai Zhenzhen has to defend against it?"
But facing this sword, Bai Zhenzhen in the interview room remained calm and composed, taking the initiative to meet the sword light and also unleashing her own sword strike.
Feeling his extreme passion sword energy being shattered one after another, Kao Zong's clone, Bai Zhenzhen, roared inwardly: "I!"
"Love Heaven Sword Sect!"
Accompanied by the roar of Kao Zong's clone, the surging Extreme Emotion Sword Qi continued to rise into the sky, but it was still defeated step by step under the sword light.
At the same time, Bai Zhenzhen's true form shouted in her heart, "I want to go to the sect with Zhang Yu! Let's climb to the 11th floor together!"
Even when the extreme power of the sword energy is pushed to its limit, it is still no match for the sword light.
However, with the help of the dual divine roots within her body, every sword energy that Bai Zhenzhen unleashed generated an increasingly stronger destructive force against the sword light descending from the sky.
At the same time, when Bai Zhenzhen actively used her arms to block, the Feather Spirit Root continuously absorbed the power within, transforming it into energy to heal her injuries.
One destruction, one rebirth; supported by the dual divine roots, the two forces were pushed to their limits by the two Bai Zhenzhens.
The adaptability of the True Spirit Root, along with the slight enhancement from the Chain Magic Diagram set effect brought by the Feather Spirit Root, continuously supported Bai Zhenzhen in blocking this sword strike.
But the sword light eventually engulfed Bai Zhenzhen completely.
However, in the next moment, under the watchful eyes of countless people, as the sword light slowly dissipated, Bai Zhenzhen, whose arms were shattered and most of her body was melted away, slowly stood up.
Looking at Bai Zhenzhen, who had survived the sword strike, Yun Zhiguang couldn't help but frown.
When she saw Bai Zhenzhen's final score, her expression darkened even more.
"277 points."
The fact that yet another lower-level person had passed the interview cast a shadow over Yun Zhiguang's heart.
Meanwhile, the interviews in the other room were also coming to an end.
Kuang Tianqing looked at the examiner sitting in the main seat and thought to himself, "Son... no, I should call you father now, because you are now richer, more powerful, have a higher rank, and hold my future in your hands. You are now my father in all right."
"Son, without realizing it, you have truly grown from a son into a father."
"And as your son, I am proud of you."
"The inheritance of the family and the transmission of bloodline are passed down from father to son."
"So, Father, I'm entrusting the rest to you."
Kuangtianqing 255 points
At this moment, even Kuang Tianqing had to admit that the father-son theory of the new era still had its merits.
Kuang Tianqing knew that his reincarnation identity had always been kept strictly secret, and very few people knew about it.
"After all, this is information that the Samsara Group has carefully concealed."
At this moment, Kuang Tianqing couldn't help but wonder: "Could this trial be the real reason I was brought here? Is the normalization of the trial the true goal of the Samsara Group?"
Seeing this, Yun Zhiguang took a deep breath and thought to herself, "The third one."
One after another, lower-ranking people passed the sect examination, which not only annoyed Yun Zhiguang, but also made the other sect disciples who were watching the interview feel dissatisfied.
It's like seeing filthy stray dogs breaking into their home, constantly challenging their senses.
When Yun Zhiguang's gaze swept over the results from Xinghuo Zhenjun's side, her face was covered with a layer of frost.
Starfire True Lord 248 points
Although I passed the interview with a low score, I still passed it in the end.
"Four people!"
At this moment, not only Yun Zhiguang, but countless people from the 1st to the 10th floors were staring at this number, and they all shouted in their hearts.
Four people! Only one person remains to reach the five people needed for the normalization of the Kaozong system.
Wang Yin couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Looking at the last two lower-level people participating in the interview, he couldn't help but roar in his heart, "Win for me!"
Countless cultivators looked at Le Mulan and Yu Xinghan, wishing they could push them together and use thousands of hands to force them to pass the test.
Yun Zhiguang thought angrily, "This Xinghuo Zhenjun was a member of the sect before... Damn it, this is a trap, a trap that the Heavenly Court prepared long ago, and there are dark secrets they have laid everywhere."
"We must stop the last person!"
Le Mulan 150 points
Looking at her score, a strong sense of unwillingness flashed in the eyes of Le Mulan, who was controlled by Kao Zong's clone.
"Damn it!"
At that moment, she felt as if she had stepped into an abyss and fallen from a great height.
"I... can't be a sect leader anymore?"
"I want to stay in the lower class and live with the filthy, poor bastards there."
"No...no! No!"
Not long after Le Mulan cried out in anguish in her heart, a message appeared in her eyes—an invitation from an examiner.
"Le Mulan, although you did not pass the sect examination, you have the potential to join a sect, you just lack some opportunities. We are willing to provide you with an outsourced job at level 11, as well as the relevant resources for the sect examination, to properly train you."
Upon seeing this message, Yue Mulan's heart stirred: "Did my ability to extend my lifespan become known to the sect after I demonstrated it during the re-examination?"
As Le Mulan was eliminated, sighs seemed to echo in the hearts of countless viewers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
At this moment, there is still one person short of the five people needed for the normalization of the Kaozong system.
At this moment, only one lower-class candidate remained to participate in the interview.
Yu Xinghan from Wanfa University.
Countless eyes from floors 1 to 10 were fixed on his interview room.
Every viewer understands that the interview that will determine whether the sect examination will become the norm in the future, the fate of countless cultivators from level 1 to level 10, the structure of level 1 to level 10, and even the future of the sect, is about to be answered here.
Yu Xinghan's performance will have implications for countless futures.
At this moment, almost every cultivator on floors 1 to 10 hoped that Yu Xinghan could pass the interview.
Even Wuxiang Zhenjun was the same.
After being eliminated by Zhang Yu, Wuxiang Zhenjun was plunged into despair.
After all, in his view, it was impossible for the lower-level examinations to become the norm, and having lost this time, he would no longer have the opportunity to take the examinations in the future.
But as one person from the lower class passed by, when the number reached four, Wuxiang Zhenjun couldn't help but feel excited.
"Hey you... Yu Xinghan! You better win!"
If the examination of lineage can become a regular practice, it means that he will still have the opportunity to take the examination of lineage in the lower levels in the future.
But can Yu Xinghan really pass?
Who is Yu Xinghan? Many people had never even heard of this name before today.
Unlike Zhang Yu, who is now famous throughout the world for his money-breaking feats, his billions in sky-mending, his issuance of Feather Bonds, and his title as the master of billions in talismans...
Unlike Kuang Tianqing and Bai Zhenzhen, who were the stars of the university league, Yu Xinghan was never well-known, and could even be described as virtually unknown.
But at this moment, with countless eyes focused on him, all sorts of information about Yu Xinghan was revealed one by one.
A background in civil engineering, working part-time as a massage therapist... just seeing this information already makes many people feel disheartened.
Wang Yin sighed, "Yu Xinghan, a guy who has almost never won any competitions. Even among the students of the ten schools, he is only a third-rate player."
Looking at Yu Xinghan's current score, he felt a chill in his heart.
"The three questions are worth 170 points, but the average score for the first three questions is less than 57 points."
"For the last question, you need at least 70 points to get the passing score..."
Wang Yin's heart sank to the bottom, feeling that the possibility of normalizing the examination of imperial lineage seemed to be extremely slim.
"Yu Xinghan?" Tian Shenggong quickly recalled in his mind: "This guy is about the same age as us. Has he ever participated in the Top Ten Leagues?"
After searching through all the records without finding anything, Tian Shenggong shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes: "Will he be eliminated like that Le Mulan just now?"
Tu Lishan frowned slightly as he looked at Yu Xinghan during the interview.
He had never been very optimistic about this student since his freshman year.
After all, given his humble origins, impoverished background, and lack of extraordinary talent like Zhang Yu, such a student would have no chance of making a name for himself at Wanfa University.
"If it weren't for Zhang Yu's care, he probably wouldn't have achieved what he has today." This was Tu Lishan's assessment of Yu Xinghan.
Seeing that the battle that was about to determine the fate of countless cultivators had been handed over to Yu Xinghan, a hint of helplessness flashed in Tu Lishan's eyes.
However, he still held onto a sliver of hope, just like countless other cultivators on levels 1 to 10 at that moment, clinging to that last glimmer of hope.
"What if the last question is easier? What if... Yu Xinghan performs exceptionally well on the last question?"
At the same time, the final question that Yu Xinghan was facing slowly emerged.
Yu Xinghan applied to the Martial Arts Pavilion, an institution that has been responsible for martial arts research and development for many years. The final interview question was still related to martial arts.
"A cultivator with a spinal cord implant has experienced periodic short circuits in his spiritual energy while practicing the cultivation technique 'Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter'. Please design a troubleshooting process to determine which of the following is the cause of the problem: 1. Inherent defect in the cultivation technique 2. Incompatibility conflict of the cultivation technique 3. Individual physiological differences."
At this moment, within Yu Xinghan's body, his main body and Kao Zong's clone were looking at the interview questions together.
As this final question appeared, Yu Xinghan couldn't help but think, "I wonder how many people are watching my interview right now."
"I might... fail the exam? I hope others can pass."
As the cultivation techniques and temporary copyright of the "Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter" were transmitted, Yu Xinghan's heart sank even further.
"It's a martial art that includes both fist techniques and mental cultivation methods?"
Yun Zhiguang, who was also looking at this question, had a sudden thought and thought to himself, "Good! Mental cultivation methods... compared to other martial arts, they are the most demanding to study because they have a strong filtering effect on the cultivator's own thoughts, concepts, and experiences."
"And this 'Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter' is even more so..."
Yun Zhiguang sneered inwardly: "A true-level immortal sect technique that is about to be phased out and downgraded."
"The so-called 'Nine Heavens Thunderclap Chapter' emphasizes acting on behalf of Heaven to punish, simulating the might of heavenly thunder to punish cultivators across the world, and taking the majesty of heavenly thunder from above."
"This fist technique has nine moves in total. It emphasizes that while punching, one must also unleash the mighty power of heaven to defeat all cultivators in the world and forge one's own invincible fist intent. How could ordinary people even dream of this?"
“Especially… Yu Xinghan’s background was too poor and lowly.”
"Being poor, weak, and without any background, the more he understands the sect and the power of the upper-level cultivators, the less likely he is to apply his thinking to a mental cultivation method like the 'Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter'."
Yun Zhiguang understood that this was the sect's philosophy that the other party had instilled in their mind, which conflicted with the other party's humble origins.
The stronger the opponent's memories of their sect and the more they understand their sect, the more likely they are to pass the previous tests, but the less likely they are to condense such a majestic and invincible fist intent, let alone operate such a mental technique.
"This is a question that the lower class is destined to fail at."
Yun Zhiguang seemed to have already seen a barrier that could only be passed by the top talents, and was like an insurmountable chasm for the lower-level people, standing in front of Yu Xinghan, completely sealing off his hope of entering the sect.
At the same time, the more Kao Zong's clone tried to learn, the more he felt a deep sense of despair.
He tried to practice his fist techniques and concentrate his fist intent, but he felt a lack of strength.
As the third eye in his mind reflected on himself, he seemed to see chains binding his body tightly, preventing him from practicing martial arts and gathering his fist intent.
These chains are called birth, background, poverty, and suffering...
At this moment, some memories surfaced in the mind of Kao Zong's clone, memories that had been squeezed deep into the mind by Kao Zong's memories.
Memories of signing a contract of servitude with Master Xinghuo in order to get ahead...
Memories of constantly clicking on ads during high school to save money, and all sorts of money-saving strategies and tips deeply etched into his poor-hearted mind...
Memories of having to sell seeds to earn resources for spiritual cultivation...
Memories of diligently learning massage techniques during my university years in order to find a part-time job...
Memories he thought he had almost forgotten resurfaced in the deepest part of his heart, turning into chains that bound his body, preventing him from making any progress.
Kao Zong's clone roared, trying to break free from these restraints, but found that he couldn't do it at all.
Especially when placed alongside intelligence from numerous sects, these memories felt so glaring and unbearable to him.
"I was born a pauper, my parents were paupers, my master, my senior sister, my friends... they were all poor people from the lower class..."
"Having climbed out of a quagmire myself, what right do I have to practice this kind of mental technique?"
"If you haven't even passed the sect examination, what qualifications do you have to compare with the disciples of the sect? How can you be qualified to use such martial arts and condense invincible fist intent?"
Kao Zong's clone let out a miserable howl: "I am not worthy! I am not worthy with all this burden on me!"
Yu Xinghan's physical body suddenly stopped, seemingly having given up on continuing to throw punches and abandoning his cultivation of the "Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter" along with the miserable howls of the Kaozong clone.
But soon, Yu Xinghan's body trembled slightly, as if it had fallen into some kind of stiffness, as if another will wanted to control the body and continue to throw punches.
It was Yu Xinghan's true form: "They are not my constraints..."
"Perhaps they are not as good as the upper class, perhaps not as good as those geniuses, but they have always been my help."
"Even if it is weak or insignificant, it is still an aid on my path to immortality."
Xinghuo, Li Xuelian... and the school, teachers, and students on the next floor... Yu Xinghan once felt that these were all her disadvantages.
But many of his later experiences, Zhang Yu's various actions, including Qian Po Cangqiong's unity, the grand undertaking of the 10 billion yuan sky-mending project, and the repeated gathering of everyone's strength, all made him feel different.
boom!
Under the self-illumination of the third eye, the things that had been binding Yu Xinghan's body like chains transformed into pairs of hands pressing down on him, as if to push him forward.
Yu Xinghan's physical body began to move again, and the fist techniques of the "Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter" were once again displayed one move after another.
The avatar of the Kao Clan roared, "What's the use? You have no idea how terrifying the sect is. We can't possibly defeat the sect disciples. We're far inferior to them..."
"You're the one who doesn't understand!" In his sea of consciousness, Yu Xinghan suppressed the thought of the Kao Zong clone. The third eye in his mind became more and more crystal clear, and he understood the fist intent in his heart more and more clearly.
"The 'Nine Heavens Thunderclap Chapter' draws inspiration from heavenly thunder, but heavenly thunder is far more than just something superficial, lofty and arrogant."
"When the thunder and lightning strike, all the thunder, lightning, fire, and heat vanish in an instant, disappearing into the world."
"This was a path of no return, a desperate act of mutual destruction!"
"Just like us poor ghosts who climbed up from the very bottom and still dared to dream of joining a sect and climbing to the peak of immortality, it's a path with nine deaths and one life!"
At the same time, Yu Xinghan's body emitted a roar, and his fist movements became increasingly smooth as he pushed them forward with his will.
"As long as I can pass the exam for a sect, as long as I can climb to the peak of immortality, then even if it's like lightning in the sky... it doesn't matter if it only flashes for a moment and then disappears completely."
In each of Yu Xinghan's punches, his thoughts, desires, inferiority complex, resentment, humiliation, hope, and ambition to reach the pinnacle of immortality were condensed.
At that moment, he poured everything he had into this punch, revealing his existence to the entire world. It was like a thunderclap that exploded throughout floors 1 to 10.
Outside the Dao Palace, True Monarch Xinghuo, watching this scene, thought to himself, "Disciple, I have already sensed your thoughts and your ambitions. Charge forward and break through this gate."
Li Xuelian looked at Yu Xinghan in the interview video and said, "Junior brother, I have seen your feelings."
Zhang Yu silently watched Yu Xinghan's fist techniques, thinking to himself, "Yu Xinghan, let's also announce to Kunxu your ambition to climb to the peak of immortality."
Inside the interview room, under the self-illumination of the Three-Eyed Divine Power, every move and stance of the "Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Chapter" clearly appeared in Yu Xinghan's mind, allowing him to continuously understand and digest this martial art, and even see the operation of its mental techniques in his own eyes.
boom!
The next moment, the fist intent condensed, and bolts of lightning exploded around Yu Xinghan, illuminating countless people in front of the screen with dazzling electric light.
