What’s the point of cultivating immortality if you don’t have money?.

Chapter 224: The Power of the Divine Root (Thanks to the leader 'nudge' for the reward)

Just when Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao each activated their divine root combat suits.

Huang Zichou continued, "During the three exams today, there are no restrictions on any medication."

"After all, the body's tolerance to drugs, whether the potential and foundation will be damaged due to the use of drugs... these are all within the scope of today's test."

After saying that, the ground around them shook slightly, and rows of medicine cabinets rose up, and various types of medicines appeared in front of Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

Huang Zichou continued, "You can take any medicine here as you like."

"Of course, if you brought any medicine with you, you can use it if you want."

At this point, Huang Zichou thought to himself, "Luckily, there are only two of us left in this round. Counting the money I collected this time, I should be able to make a profit today."

Zhang Yu's eyes lit up as he looked at the rows of medicine cabinets.

Although his magic power and physical strength have now been raised to the limit, his spiritual heart can still be improved with the help of drugs.

Thinking back on the past three months, he had lived frugally and spent all his money on his martial arts. He had not taken any medicine for a long time. When he took medicine until he felt full, Zhang Yu looked at the medicine cabinet with increasingly hungry eyes.

At the same time, Huang Zichou went on to introduce the divine roots of the two people: "The divine roots you are using today are called Xuanjia spiritual roots. They are mass-produced for military operations."

"Replenishing mana and physical strength is only the most basic function of the Black Armor Spiritual Root."

"Next, the Xuanjia Spiritual Root will officially enter the testing mode."

"During the test mode, as you demonstrate stronger physical performance, the power of the Black Armor Spiritual Root will continue to increase."

"Although the extra functions of this battle suit have been removed, the Black Armor Spiritual Root has been completely preserved. As the power continues to increase, the Black Armor Spiritual Root will show more functions and demonstrate them one by one. There will be some strange phenomena during this period. You two don't need to panic..."

Listening to Huang Zichou's words, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Why does this sound like... it feels like he is demonstrating the function of this Xuanjia spiritual root?"

Just as Zhang Yu was listening carefully to Huang Zichou's explanation, he suddenly heard a loud bang, and a shock wave burst out from Ye Lingxiao's body.

Zhang Yu casually slapped away the incoming shock wave and turned to look in the direction of Ye Lingxiao.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao was surrounded by strong winds, and the air around him was distorted. The power number on his cuffs had increased to 10%.

Huang Zichou smiled slightly, looked at Ye Lingxiao and said, "You understood it very quickly. The test mode of the Xuanjia spiritual root is to continuously improve the operating power of the physical body."

"The more you exert your strength, the more you use your energy, and the more you explode, the more you can stimulate the power of the Black Armor Spiritual Root."

The reason why Ye Lingxiao was able to realize this so quickly was that as the heir of the Ye family, he was not completely ignorant of the divine roots.

Although as a high school student he did not have the authority to use the divine root, many of the people he knew worked in government departments and had the authority to use the divine root.

He had seen others use the divine root since he was a child, and he already knew what to do in the test mode of the divine root.

Just now he seemed to be standing still, but in fact his energy and blood were surging throughout his body, and every muscle in his body was exerting force, which really led to an increase in the power of his divine root.

Huang Zichou continued, "When the power of the Xuanjia spiritual root reaches 10%, it can activate the spiritual force field, transmit physical strength through the spiritual force, and hit the target from a distance."

After that, Huang Zichou pouted towards Ye Lingxiao and said, "You can show it to me."

Ye Lingxiao obediently slapped out with his palm.

The palm strike without any magical power was just flat on the ground, but it was like firing an air cannon.

As the palm power was quickly transmitted in Lingji, a shock wave was directly formed, which slowly dissipated until it was dozens of meters away.

Zhang Yu, who was watching this scene, thought to himself, "This is becoming more and more like an advertisement."

Huang Zichou continued, "You guys go ahead and remember, in the test mode, only by mobilizing the strength of the physical body as much as possible and operating the physical body as much as possible can the spiritual root improve its operating efficiency."

On the other side, Ye Lingxiao released the muscles he had contracted, and his body suddenly expanded and became as tall as a little giant. The blood in his body surged violently, and waves of heat erupted.

As he did this, the power of the divine root really increased, and the number on his cuffs soared to 18.12%.
On the other hand, Zhang Yu did not make any move. Instead, he walked calmly to the medicine cabinet and began to select medicines that could enhance his Taoism.

In the communication network of the righteous gods, Huang Zichou recalled the gap between Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao in the last round and said, "Has this kid given up? Is he just planning to get some medicine?"

Another righteous god said: "Judging from their performance in the last round of exams, the difference in the amount of time they have practiced this year is indeed huge. It's normal for him to not have confidence. After all, there will be another chance next year." At the same time, the "laughing and crying expression" in the audience said: "Mom, has Ye Lingxiao's opponent given up?"

“Smiling Expression” casually said: “After all, Ye Lingxiao is the strongest high school student on the first floor, so it’s normal for his opponent to give up.”

At the other end of the audience, an audience member with a cat avatar looked at Zhang Yu and snorted coldly, "You want to retreat without a fight? You don't want to take any risk of failure? Even if you have great talent, we at Wanfa University don't need such people."

The other Wanfa University representative next to the cat head had a husky head portrait on his head. He smiled and said, "You guys in the Finance Department are all chosen by heaven. You can just say no and reject them, but our Civil Engineering Department is still very welcoming to such students."

"And didn't you read the information? There's a gap between the two of them. I'm quite optimistic about Zhang Yu. When he takes the exam for the second time next year, he should be able to pass the foundation-building certificate. In the future, he might be able to move mountains and fill the sea, build the Heavenly Palace, or even renovate and repair Kunxu. He might be an expert at it."

The cat head curled its lips, looked at Ye Lingxiao and said: "This talent is really good, but it's a pity that the potential of immortal is still a little lacking. After all, it is still a little short of entering my finance department."

Erhatou advised, "Your expectations are too high. He is already the heir of the richest family on this floor. If you think his potential is not enough, who else on this floor has enough potential?"

Cat Head said proudly: "The Finance Department is one of the strongest departments in our school. How can we not be very selective in recruiting students?"

"Besides, our department hasn't accepted any Level 1 students for more than years. If the school leaders hadn't asked me to take a look, do you think I would have watched this level of foundation building exam?"

Erhatou smiled and said nothing. He also knew that the Finance Department valued the potential of immortals the most, and the guys who went in were all too arrogant. Except for a few other departments in Wanfa University that were also at the top, the other departments were probably just security guards, workers and waiters in their eyes.

After all, even in the same university, the gap between departments is like a mountain. The toilets in the Finance Department are probably more fragrant than the dormitories in the Civil Engineering Department.

At this moment, Cat Head suddenly said, "Old Dog, do you want to make a bet? I bet that Ye Lingxiao will win."

Erhatou knew that the guy from the Finance Department was addicted to gambling again, so he shook his head unhappily and said, "I don't gamble."

And just when more people at the scene focused their attention on Ye Lingxiao.

Zhang Yu, who was standing in front of the medicine cabinet, was pleasantly surprised when he saw the medicine in his hand.

"Hahahaha, these righteous gods didn't cut corners. These are all good medicines that I usually can't afford to buy."

Although there were no top-notch items like the Daojie sustained-release capsules, the magic vein injections, and the imitation phoenix functional elements from last time, there were all kinds of second-rate items, which made Zhang Yu more and more excited.

Seeing that he could easily grab a piece of Dao Heart Medicine worth tens of thousands of dollars, Zhang Yu immediately poured it into his mouth in one gulp, feeling the medicinal power being absorbed through his internal organs and quickly transformed into streams of cool air rushing straight to his crown.

After a moment, he felt that his brain was as if wound up by layers of springs. His thoughts became clearer, his mental method functioned faster and faster, and the image of the crippled cow in his mind became clearer and clearer.

At this moment, a bright light came from the examination room.

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw that Ye Lingxiao was covered with a layer of spiritual light, like a round protective shield, covering Ye Lingxiao from head to toe.

The number on Ye Lingxiao's sleeves showing the power of his spiritual roots had also risen to 30.05%.
Huang Zichou said on the side: "If the power of the Xuanjia spiritual root can reach more than 30%, it can activate a layer of Xuanjia magic shield, forming a layer of protective shield with magic power, which can almost ignore threats below military level."

At the same time, one could see strange patterns constantly emerging in Ye Lingxiao's undulating muscles, transforming into pieces of dragon scales. This was the level 10 expert-level skill - the Great Dragon Power.

Then his fascia continued to expand, and his skin began to turn blue and black. He had already activated the level 10 expert-level body protection technique - Elephant Demon Tendon Transformation.

After Ye Lingxiao activated one skill after another in his physical body, the power of his divine root continued to grow rapidly, and soon broke through the 40% mark.

He looked at Zhang Yu who was still taking medicine in the distance, and thought to himself: "Are you not starting yet? Have you really given up?"

Thinking that his opponent gave up so easily, Ye Lingxiao suddenly felt a little bored, a boring feeling that after three months of careful preparation, his opponent lay down before he even put in any effort.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt a slight pain in his head and realized that he had taken the heart potion to its limit.

Level 8 (89.5%) → Level 8 (89.6%)

"Oh? Has your Tao heart grown again?"

After wiping his mouth, Zhang Yu touched his stomach and thought to himself, "I'm almost 70% full. I'll stop taking the medicine today."

He put down the medicine bottle and walked back to the center of the examination room step by step. With every step Zhang Yu took, his muscles shook.

This is a simple warm-up performed by Zhang Yu by exercising his muscles, bones, and internal organs.

As he was warming up, the power of the Black Armor Spirit Root began to gradually increase.
