Zhang Yu could feel that with the cultivation of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, not only was his body being strengthened, but the abdominal pain that had just come from his stomach was also gradually disappearing.
And the Zen character on his chest was becoming increasingly dark as it absorbed the medicinal toxins.
It was during this process that Zhang Yu gradually realized something, realizing the value of the High School Holy Body.
Or rather, he had underestimated the effect of the High School Holy Body before.
“After I activated the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, although it nourishes my body, enhances its strength, and gathers medicinal toxins, but…”
Zhang Yu compared the differences before and after activating the technique in his heart, and thought to himself: "There doesn't seem to be any improvement in the ability to metabolize drugs."
Spring and Autumn Endless Zen doesn't improve drug metabolism?
Zhang Yu could only think of two possibilities for this effect.
One is that the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen cannot metabolize the imitation phoenix functional elements.
The other possibility is… that before running the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, his drug metabolism ability had already been raised to the limit, a limit that could not be improved.
And the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen can gather the medicinal toxins in it, indicating that the first possibility is not valid.
Then there is only the second possibility.
The effect of the High School Holy Body flashed through Zhang Yu's mind: "Drug load, absorption, and metabolism abilities are increased to the peak of Qi Refining."
There can be many interpretations of the peak of the Qi Refining stage. Some mortals call the level of high school graduates the peak of the Qi Refining stage, others call the level ten years after high school graduation the peak of the Qi Refining stage, and still others believe that university graduates who have not established a foundation are the peak of Qi Refining.
And the original Zhang Yu thought that this peak of Qi Refining referred to a vague range, similar to the level many years after high school graduation.
But now it seems…
“This peak of Qi Refining… is it saying that my drug load, absorption, and metabolism abilities have been raised to the limit of the Qi Refining stage? Is it because it is the limit of the Qi Refining stage that there is no effect even after running the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen?”
“That is to say, even if I don’t run the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, is my drug metabolism ability in a normal state at the limit level of the Qi Refining stage?”
“Why didn’t I notice this before?” Zhang Yu thought, and then he knew why: “I took too few and too ordinary medicines some time ago. The medicinal properties were insufficient, and they would be easily absorbed and metabolized, so I couldn’t detect the difference at all.”
“The medicinal properties of this imitation phoenix functional element are strong and surging enough to make me realize the value of the High School Holy Body.”
At this moment, an unparalleled confidence surged in Zhang Yu's heart: "No matter how powerful No. 23 (Ye Lingxiao)'s Immortal Capital Lord is, he is still a high school student. As long as his drug metabolism ability has not reached the limit of the Qi Refining stage…"
“Then I will win this exam!”
In that instant, Zhang Yu secretly sighed in his heart, where is the High School Holy Body a High School Holy Body? It should simply be called the Qi Refining Holy Body!
Thinking of this, he seized the time to practice the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, his whole body of flesh and blood exuding surging power, constantly tempering his muscles, bones, and internal organs, and then nourishing them with the Longevity Magic.
Although without running the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, he would be able to absorb and metabolize the imitation phoenix functional elements with his High School Holy Body, how could Zhang Yu let go of the opportunity to take such precious medicine for free to temper his body and improve his physical strength.
And the gods were all slightly stunned when they saw Zhang Yu taking the medicine and becoming vigorous, punching and kicking out bursts of booming sounds.
One of the gods said: "Zhang Yu has withstood two imitation phoenix functional elements in one breath? It's impossible based on his grades."
At the same time, the other gods also read the data transmitted from the detection patch.
Huang Zichou said: "His current physical data definitely exceeds his monthly exam results. This kid hid his strength in the monthly exam."
Hiding his strength in the monthly exam? The gods were slightly stunned when they heard this, but the next moment, a look of understanding appeared in their eyes.
Although it sounds like hiding one's strength in the monthly exam in a place where grades are supreme and scores are king seems impossible in high school.
But the gods on the scene had all seen storms and knew that there were many situations in the first layer of Kunxu that would force students to hide their strength.
Especially when the student is a poor person, then hiding their strength, deliberately getting low scores, reducing their presence, and not attracting the attention of the rich… that's not a rare thing.
As for how to hide it, there are many ways. Some poor students deliberately injure themselves, some poor students take medicines with huge side effects to reduce their strength, and some practice certain techniques that can hide their strength…
But this kind of concealment requires a huge price.
Either the injury drags down the cultivation, or a lot of time and energy is wasted, and a lot of school benefits and assistance are lost because there are no grades.
These will greatly increase the difficulty of the cultivator's cultivation.
The students who need to hide their strength are often poor people who are short of money for cultivation.
So to be able to reach the level of competing for the High School Foundation Establishment Certificate under such circumstances…
“This kind of sudden rise of a poor person…” Huang Zichou thought: “Is it related to the evil god?”
He repeatedly checked the other party's physical body, data, and various information, and breathed a sigh of relief after finding no problems.
However, Huang Zichou glanced at Deng Bingding, thinking that he was too careful and cautious. With this Lord Deng in charge of the overall situation, it was not his turn to discover any evil god believers.
At the same time, a god nodded slightly and commented: "This son's immortal talent is immeasurable. If he can sign a good teacher after going to the second level, it is not impossible to rush to the fifth level or above in the future."
Another god said: "The key is that he is only a second-year high school student now. He can take another Foundation Establishment exam next year, and he has already stepped into the threshold of the top ten."
“This talent is too amazing.”
As the time came to October, Zhang Yu had officially become a second-year high school student in September.
While the gods were discussing these things, Huang Zichou did not interrupt, but recalled his past memories.
In fact, he, Huang Zichou, had seen about five or six similar immortal geniuses rise, and the common characteristics of these people were…
“Talent?”
“Talent my ass!”
Huang Zichou thought to himself: "Talent is the most basic thing. The most important factor for all poor geniuses to rise is that someone is behind them."
“You can rise and climb to the peak of immortality just by relying on talent and hard work? Only those mortals who have been repeatedly brainwashed by companies and the media will believe it.”
Huang Zichou was very clear about this, because he had been in charge of education for many years.
All the poor geniuses who can rise are either taken in by powerful figures after showing their talents, or their talents themselves come from the layout of powerful figures.
The newest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!
Huang Zichou sighed in his heart: "It's not ancient times anymore, how can you get ahead just by relying on your own talent?"
On the other side, Deng Bingding also did not participate in the discussion, but thought of the results of the last investigation of Zhang Pianpian.
“I don’t know which great god Zhang Pianpian was favored by, and has already ascended to the second level.”
“Zhang Yu’s progress is so terrifying… it’s hard to say that there is a god behind him.”
After thinking about this, Deng Bingding's first reaction was… should he help Zhang Yu? Can he befriend the great god behind him?
But remembering his experience after flipping through Zhang Pianpian's information last time, Deng Bingding quickly dismissed the idea.
“The actions and words of those adults above must have profound meaning, maybe it is to hide Zhang Yu, or to hone Zhang Yu. I still shouldn’t do anything superfluous.”
“However… maybe after today’s exam, I can add him as a friend.”
While the gods were discussing Zhang Yu on the internal network, the other candidates were also surprised by Zhang Yu's performance.
Especially Ye Lingxiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and after seeing Zhang Yu take two imitation phoenix functional elements in a row, the fighting spirit in his eyes became stronger.
He thought to himself: "Is this your true strength?"
“Sure enough, you hid a lot in the last exam.”
“But I won’t lose to you.”
“I am the perfect bloodline that the Ye family has spent countless efforts on, the future main product of the entire company, and is destined to win the Foundation Establishment Certificate.”
Ye Lingxiao also knew that only by winning the Foundation Establishment Certificate would the family arrange for him to establish a foundation, so that he could break through to the Foundation Establishment realm before entering university, and make the most solid preparations for ascending to the second level and entering the door of a famous teacher in the future.
“My immortal path is not just the top ten…”
Ye Lingxiao picked up a magic power meridian injection and slammed it into his arm.
As the injection was pushed into his body, Ye Lingxiao felt his whole body of magic power suddenly running, like gasoline being ignited and constantly exploding.
His heartbeat kept accelerating, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his meridians showed signs of slight convulsions under the crazy impact of magic power.
Drink!
With a low shout, Ye Lingxiao once again activated the level 10 Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, fully resolving the burden brought by the fierce medicinal power.
“No problem…”
Under the blessing of the perfect bloodline, Ye Lingxiao's body was like a whale swimming in the sea, opening its mouth and devouring countless seawater, fish, and shrimp in front of him. Every trace of flesh and blood, every inch of internal organs was frantically swallowing medicinal power, digesting, absorbing, and metabolizing it.
In addition to the blessing of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen, Ye Lingxiao could feel that the surging medicinal power was constantly metabolized by his constant exercise, constantly turning into waste and harmlessly accumulating in his body, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just as Ye Lingxiao felt that the surging medicinal power had crossed the peak, an idea surged in his heart.
“It shouldn’t be a problem to take another shot.”
“Then take another shot, completely widen the gap with him, and make him feel despair…”
But just as Ye Lingxiao picked up another magic power meridian injection, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yu walking to his side, directly picking up a magic power meridian injection.
Zhang Yu muttered to himself: "It's too wasteful to only refine the body, let's improve the magic power by the way."
Then, in Ye Lingxiao's surprised eyes, Zhang Yu had already stabbed himself in the arm with a needle.
As the needle was pushed into his body, Zhang Yu's body couldn't help but twitch slightly, and then the Great Sun Qi Sea ran violently like a volcanic eruption, frantically collecting the surrounding spiritual energy.
