Chapter 166: #166 - The Unfathomable Zhang Yu

Under the astonished gaze of many students and the gods present, Zhang Yu abruptly stopped the circulation of his mana.

Originally, the students on the scene were sprinting with all their might, and except for the first and second place, the data of each student before and after was also very close.

So… with Zhang Yu's pause, the bar graph representing him was quickly thrown off, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed towards the last place.

Watching his ranking drop step by step, the fighting spirit in Zhang Yu's eyes grew stronger and stronger, and the remnant bull visualized in his mind also supported its crippled limbs and howled at the sky, the broken horn on its head emitting a trace of cold light.

"Come on, thrive in a desperate situation!"

Under the pressure Zhang Yu took the initiative to give himself, the blessing of the Remnant Bull's Self-Sacrifice Mind Technique in the face of pressure and despair was constantly amplified.

Zhang Yu felt the mana all over his body become active, as if it were oil on a raging fire, exuding unprecedented vitality.

His brain was thinking at lightning speed, and he began to control the mana to travel throughout his body.

"My mana control is very strong, but I have always lacked the practice of mana explosive power."

"If I want to make a breakthrough in this exam, I must give full play to the advantage of control."

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhang Yu's mind, and he thought of the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm, a universal martial art that cost him 200,000.

Just like the previous Back Dragon Overturning Mountain Hand, the reason why this kind of pure physical martial art is called universal martial art is because it can accept the blessing of any mana and explode with tyrannical power.

"The Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm should be my most explosive martial art. If I use mana to promote this martial art…"

With a bang, Zhang Yu's mana suddenly slammed into the testing patch in his palm.

At the same time, he felt a burst of tingling in his meridians.

"My meridians are still not strong enough…"

"In that case, I will wrap the meridians with the Formless Cloud罡, as a new channel…"

"Then use the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm to blast all the mana out!"

Strands of Formless Cloud 罡 were lifted from Zhang Yu's dantian, and in a blink of an eye, they had turned into layers of subcutaneous罡 qi, wrapping his meridians and constructing a channel from the dantian to the palm.

The next moment, a roar erupted in Zhang Yu's body, and the bursting mana had blasted out along the channel in an extremely rude manner.

The pressure under desperation, the blessing of the Remnant Bull's Self-Sacrifice Mind Technique, the Formless Cloud 罡 turned into a track, and the mana was released with the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm. Every blow was violently shaking the Formless Cloud 罡 in Zhang Yu's body.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt as if he had become a cannon, using the Formless Cloud 罡 as the barrel, the Dragon Elephant Mountain Shattering Palm as the gunpowder, and the mana as the bullet, firing shot after shot in his body.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

But under such an operation, as Zhang Yu pushed the mana so rudely and fiercely, his ranking instantly began to accelerate, rushing forward wildly.

30th place!

28th place!

21st place!

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yu not only rushed back to 21st place, but was still accelerating towards 20th place!

At the same time, the student currently standing in 20th place was a student named Li Tongyun.

When she saw the bar graph representing number 55 on the light curtain constantly chasing after her, Li Tongyun felt a huge pressure in her heart.

"Damn it… why?"

"Why am I being forced to this point?"

Recalling her past achievements in the top five of Xianyun High School, but declining all the way in the past six months, reaching this point…

A strong sense of unwillingness emerged in Li Tongyun's heart.

Half a year ago, her father was defeated in the company's struggle and became a victim, and was eventually kicked out of the company.

In the case of the severance compensation not arriving for a long time, the family was facing the pressure of various loans, bills, and cultivation expenses.

At that time, her parents' savings were only enough to cover one month's expenses.

In order to preserve her status among friends, classmates, and teachers, Li Tongyun did not dare to reveal this, and could only continue to borrow money and brace herself to maintain her rich persona.

As the saying goes, when there is no money in the bank account, there is money in the loan account.

As of today, Li Tongyun's bank account is already million.

Even so, her cultivation level, due to the lack of financial support, has not been able to keep up with the pace of her classmates, and has fallen instantly.

After all, on the high school immortal path where everyone is progressing rapidly, once the speed of progress slows down, you will be thrown far behind.

"I can't lose…"

But if that was all, although the gap was huge, although she was gradually abandoned by her original circle of friends, at least she could still get into a university and find a good job in the future.

But Li Tongyun knew that things were not that simple, because she couldn't afford to lose now.

When her family's annual income was at its highest, when her grades reached the top five in Xianyun High School, when her life was at its most proud and she regarded getting into the top ten as inevitable.

She and her father's company signed a gambling contract.

"I must get a Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate, otherwise… I will become a company asset."

Looking at number 55 getting closer and closer, Li Tongyun only felt that the other party was like an abyss representing endless despair, chasing towards her feet step by step, wanting to completely devour her.

"I can't lose!"

With a roar in her heart, Li Tongyun had already pushed up 120% of her mana, and along with a burst of meridian tearing pain, blasted the mana out.

But no matter how hard she tried, no matter how desperately she tried, even if she was bleeding from all seven orifices, she could only watch Zhang Yu step by step cross her number, squeezing her to 21st place.

The moment he came to 20th, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally up."

As the pressure weakened, Zhang Yu also took the initiative to slow down the output of mana.

After all, his current rude methods could not be harmless to the body. While maintaining the top 20 position, he also had to ensure the health of his body.

But soon Zhang Yu found that the 21st place was still chasing him.

As the other party chased closer and closer, the pressure became greater and greater, and Zhang Yu had to increase the mana output again to throw the other party away again.

Even with the protection of the Formless Cloud 罡, such a rude mana bombardment still gradually injured his body.

"Damn it, is this guy so persistent?"

Zhang Yu rubbed his aching stomach, looked at the 21st place who was still chasing him… and remembered that the other party's number was 36.

Li Tongyun, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and whose meridians were tearing apart, was also staring at number 55 on the light curtain.

Every time she approached the other party, number 55 would always accelerate again, throwing her far away.

But after throwing her away, the other party would slow down slightly, as if waiting for her to chase up again.

Li Tongyun felt unwilling in her heart: "Number 55, is that super rich foreigner?"

"Deliberately teasing me? Deliberately playing with me?"

She seemed to be able to see the other party looking at her with a malicious smile, looking at her appearance of struggling repeatedly but never being able to catch up.

At the same time, Dai Xingzhi had also been observing the performance of number 55.

The moment he saw number 55 take the initiative to stop the operation of mana and jump to the last place in one breath, he felt extremely puzzled.

When he saw number 55 accelerate all the way to 20th place again, he thought that the other party was going to start attacking the top three.

But when he saw number 55 just stop at 20th place, he felt puzzled again.

Until he watched number 55 just stay at 20th place, watching number 36 chase up again and again, and be thrown away again and again…

A trace of understanding flashed in Dai Xingzhi's eyes: "He… is playing?"

Seeing that the other party still maintained the 20th place ranking steadily until the end of this round of exams, Dai Xingzhi became more and more certain of this.

"Deliberately stuck in 20th place, not surpassing the previous one, but controlling not to be surpassed by anyone."

"Actually deliberately controlling the ranking in the Foundation Establishment Exam?"

"This is something that can only be done with absolute confidence in oneself."

Dai Xingzhi looked in Zhang Yu's direction and thought to himself: "How rich is this guy… after all?"

And he was not the only one on the scene who had similar ideas to Dai Xingzhi.

Yun Jing, who finally won the second place, glanced at Zhang Yu after looking at Ye Lingxiao for a long time: "Hmph, actually hiding behind and playing this kind of trick. Is it to show off his control? Or deliberately hide his strength?"

After Ye Lingxiao took the first place, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "I couldn't help but grab the first place after being slightly provoked."

"Sure enough, I'm still a little impatient."

He looked in Zhang Yu's direction and thought to himself: "But this guy, actually has a playful mentality in the examination room."

At this moment, Zhang Yu also became more and more unfathomable in Ye Lingxiao's eyes.

Especially this round of Zhang Yu, in Ye Lingxiao's view, must have hidden his strength.

An opponent of unknown depth also made him feel more threatened.

"This guy may be more dangerous than Yun Jing."

Saying that, Ye Lingxiao had already greeted Zhang Yu: "Played well."

"Huh?" Zhang Yu listened to the other party's greeting, his eyes were blank: "What thing played well?"

"Is this kid provoking me?"

"Seeing me struggling to death in 20th place, so he came to laugh at me?"

How to describe this feeling… Zhang Yu decided that he would never praise Zhao Tianxing for his good punches in class again after returning.

"Damn it, these words originally sounded so uncomfortable, a bunch of yin and yang weirdness."

Bai Zhenzhen comforted: "Yuzi, being looked down upon also has the advantage of being looked down upon. This way, it will be more popular when you surpass them in the future."

"Surpassing these rich people, this is the privilege of us poor people! These top immortals have not been able to have this experience from birth to now!"

Obviously, in Bai Zhenzhen's view, Ye Lingxiao's words and actions just now were also full of provocation, ridicule, disdain, and contempt.

But Zhang Yu didn't feel comforted at all after listening to Bai Zhenzhen's comfort.

"Damn it, there are still two exams in this exam. Will that guy continue to be yin and yang with me?"

"Isn't it just criticizing him for throwing red envelopes indiscriminately? Is it necessary to hold such a grudge?"

With the end of the mana exam, what awaited the many students next was the physical exam.

Only Deng Bingding said: "A person's body refining cultivation can be reflected in all aspects."

"And one thing is that a person cannot live without every day, and cannot be faked."

"That is appetite."

"The stronger the person eats more, the more the person eats, the stronger the person is, the appetite is one of the signs of a person's body refining strength, testing a person's overall metabolism, digestion, and stomach recruitment."

"Today's second exam is the Gluttony Competition!"
