The 333rd floor of the Central Building in Songyang City.
Zhou Yang's lower body was empty, and he was lying on the hospital bed, looking out of the window.
He looked at the Oasis Building, which was under construction not far away and gradually surpassing the Central Building in height, feeling as if he was seeing the rising Oasis Group surpassing all the old powerful families in Songyang.
Zhou Yang thought to himself, "After synthetic food, even synthetic meat has been commercialized. In this way, the food market on the first level of Kunxu will probably be filled with related products in the future."
But Zhou Yang knew that it was impossible to monopolize the market with technology alone.
Just like the Oasis Group, which initially possessed more advanced synthetic food technology, it still had to cooperate with local companies and families to enter the Songyang City market.
Zhou Yang thought of the cooperation between the Oasis Group and the three major high schools and their affiliated companies half a year ago, for the development of three new body refining techniques.
"One step further, and it might be the synthesis of human organs."
"It is said that some prominent families in Xiandu are already combining bloodline technology with the human body technology mastered by the Oasis Group."
"If that's the case, in the future, not only food, but even the cultivation of the descendants of various families, body refining, and cultivation will all depend on the Oasis Group."
But Zhou Yang understood that this did not mean that the Oasis Group would dominate the first level of Kunxu in the future, but that local powerful families and companies would inevitably cooperate with the Oasis Group.
Zhou Yang thought to himself, "The overt and covert struggles between the various companies and families in Songyang City are all for the sake of gaining more shares and more power in future cooperation."
"Some companies and families will gradually weaken in this process and eventually disappear into the long river of history."
However, the Zhou family ranked low among the sixteen powerful families in Songyang City, making it difficult to compete head-on with powerful families like the Song family and the Le family.
Especially after the Wanxing Group was blocked not long ago, and the Zhou family and he suffered a wave of blows.
In comparison…
"Instead of trying to compete with other powerful families, it's better to deal with Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen, two weak individuals, after the Foundation Establishment Examination and seize the Evil Gods behind them."
Zhou Yang picked up his phone, looked at the messages coming from it, slowly exhaled, and thought to himself, "Have they already set off?"
"Once the Foundation Establishment Examination is over, the True Gods won't protect you like that anymore."
"Given the difference in wealth and information between us…"
Whether he took action himself or sent someone else, or controlled the other party with the handles of the Evil God's believers, in Zhou Yang's view, as long as the protection of the Foundation Establishment Examination was gone, things would be very simple.
"Now that the situation is unpredictable, these two must be dealt with as soon as the Foundation Establishment Examination is over."
Thinking of the progress of the current situation, Zhou Yang became even more impatient, as if he could already see Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen falling into his hands, at his mercy.
…
On the train heading to Xiandu City.
With the vibration of his phone, Zhang Yu was about to tap it to see who the message was from, but he found that his hand slipped… and a video had already popped up on the screen.
He was just about to close the video, but when he clicked the close button, he jumped into a shopping platform instead.
Looking at the "You May Also Like" recommendation for Kidney Tonifying Capsules displayed on the shopping platform, Zhang Yu frowned and clicked close. This time, he finally closed it.
Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Damn it… as the company's commercial warfare becomes more and more intense, this advertising and big data are also becoming more and more excessive."
"Was the vibration just now a message from Yu Xinghan?"
Looking at the word "Good luck" sent by Yu Xinghan, Zhang Yu smiled slightly, knowing that Yu Xinghan knew he was going to participate in the Foundation Establishment Examination, so he sent this message.
At the same time, inside the classroom of Bailong High School.
Yu Xinghan looked at the smiling expression Zhang Yu sent him and thought to himself, "Zhang Yu is very powerful, but after all, he is one grade behind that Xiandu master. Judging from the previous Foundation Establishment Examination, the gap between them is not small."
"But although he won't pass this Foundation Establishment Examination, his success rate in the next Foundation Establishment Examination will be very high."
"By then, I will still be in the same grade as him. I must have a good relationship with this kid and stagger the track…"
Just as Yu Xinghan was thinking about these things, Zhang Yu on the train thought to himself, "Judging from Yu Xinghan's intentional and unintentional hints during this period…"
"He doesn't think I can grab the Foundation Establishment Certificate this time, so he wants to have a good relationship with me and reach a tacit understanding with me and A Zhen when the Foundation Establishment Examination comes next year to win the Foundation Establishment Certificate together."
As for whether he could surpass his opponent Ye Lingxiao in this Foundation Establishment Examination, Zhang Yu naturally couldn't guarantee it with absolute certainty.
After all, even he didn't know what kind of progress Ye Lingxiao had made after these three months.
But he believed that as long as he tried his best, the chances of success would definitely be high.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu subconsciously looked at his Feather Book again.
A total of ten cultivation techniques can be hung on the Chain Method Diagram. After Zhang Yu replaced eight of them, the original High School Sacred Body had become a Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.
Because only ten cultivation techniques can be hung at most, and a set like the High School Sacred Body and Martial Dao Sacred Embryo requires six cultivation techniques to take effect, only one of the High School Sacred Body and Martial Dao Sacred Embryo can take effect at the same time.
Elementary - Martial Dao Sacred Embryo (6/6): The sacred embryo is initially formed, and the ability to resist blows and the ability to heal external injuries surge.
Advanced - Martial Dao Sacred Embryo (8/8): The sacred embryo is slightly formed, the body's load-bearing capacity and the ability to heal internal injuries surge, and the body gains overload ability.
The second layer effect of the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo allows Zhang Yu's body's load-bearing capacity and the ability to heal internal injuries to surge.
Zhang Yu thought, "The surge in load-bearing capacity allows me to explode my physical strength beyond limits without worrying about the damage or collapse of muscles and bones, increasing my upper limit and endurance of the explosion."
"Plus this overload ability… it's even more terrifying when it explodes."
"The surge in the ability to heal internal injuries, coupled with the previous surge in the ability to heal external injuries, adds another layer of insurance to my medical insurance."
"No, where do I have the money to buy medical insurance now?"
The reason why Zhang Yu didn't have the money to buy medical insurance was not only because the money was spent on buying cultivation techniques, but also because his medical insurance costs were too high now.
After all, with the growth of his cultivation and the improvement of his body refining strength, the cost of treating his injuries also increased, which led the medical insurance company to constantly increase his premiums after evaluation, making it even more unaffordable for him to buy medical insurance.
Zhang Yu had previously heard Fu Ji say that some Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core powerhouses above, because they couldn't afford medical insurance, were usually timid and didn't dare to speak loudly to anyone.
After all, once a conflict occurred, these people could neither afford the other party's medical expenses nor their own medical expenses.
Such immortal powerhouses were jokingly called "crispy skin powerhouses" above, meaning that they would go bankrupt with a single touch, and their immortal foundation was not solid enough, making them extremely fragile.
Zhang Yu thought, "But now that I have the blessing of the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo, I'm not afraid of most injuries even without medical insurance."
"To say what my biggest weakness is now…"
Zhang Yu looked at the data on his Feather Book.
Dao Heart: Level 8 ()
Although it had already made a leap forward compared to before, compared to Zhang Yu's magic power and physical strength that had already reached the limit of Qi Refining, his Dao Heart was obviously still lacking.
But this was also something that couldn't be helped. Recently, most of the several million he earned through tutoring were invested in the purchase of cultivation techniques, and this only gathered the 8 cultivation techniques of the Martial Dao Sacred Embryo.
The extra means of improving Dao Heart were to rely on the Resentment Spirit Root and the school's Spirit Realm quota. Reaching the current level of 8 () was already a limit.
However, Zhang Yu understood that he didn't need to worry about these things. He had already done all the preparations he should do, and the only thing left to do… was to give it his all in the examination room.
Speaking of Dao Heart level, Bai Zhenzhen on the side had already raised her Dao Heart to level 10, becoming an existence whose Dao Heart, magic power, and physical strength had all reached the limit of Qi Refining.
Zhang Yu thought, "After all, A Zhen doesn't need to buy so many cultivation techniques like me in order to gather the set effect of the Chain Method Diagram, so she can invest more money in Dao Heart."
But Zhang Yu knew that although Bai Zhenzhen didn't master as many cultivation techniques as him, and had only learned two new cultivation techniques in the past three months, the deduction ability of the True Spirit Root allowed her cultivation techniques to obtain a more powerful level 10 effect.
Like the Myriad Swords No End Art learned in the Foundation Establishment Examination, the level 10 effect after deduction can accelerate with thunder magic power, making each sword faster than the last, breaking the sound barrier at the 12th sword and stimulating a supersonic sword move.
In addition, the two newly learned cultivation techniques are extremely good at arena battles, which are the preparations Bai Zhenzhen made to compete for the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate.
Looking at the floating city that was gradually appearing in his vision in the distance, Zhang Yu thought, "It's finally here."
"The final round of the Foundation Establishment Examination."
Thinking of the struggle of the past year, the repeated struggles, and the impending final result, Zhang Yu only felt that the blood in his whole body was accelerating, with an unprecedented feeling of excitement and tension.
…
After getting off the train at Immortal Metropolis Station.
Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen didn't dare to go to any restaurants or beverage shops.
As for the massage chairs that would emit a piercing alarm if you didn't pay, they couldn't sit on those either.
They could only find an empty space in the station to rest for a while, waiting for the time when the Foundation Establishment Exam would begin.
Still the familiar toilet, the familiar website, when Zhang Yu clicked to participate, he felt a sinking sensation, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in a huge square.
What surprised him was that, in addition to the five True God Examiners around the square, there were also rows of spectator stands, and the figures in the stands were now looking at him.
"Spectators?!"
Zhang Yu looked at the surrounding stands in shock, thinking: "The final round of the Foundation Establishment Exam... actually has spectators? And so many of them?!"
"What on earth is going on?"
