As his qi and blood surged wildly, his figure rose to 2.8 meters in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the level 10 Blood Exchange Great Method, level 10 Five Qi Refining Organs Method, level 10 Suppression Method Primordial Body, level 10 Ice-Fire Tempering Great Method… each body-refining technique operated at full power, mobilizing all of Zhang Yu’s physical strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his physical strength was wildly mobilized, the Mystic Armor Spirit Root in test mode seemed stimulated, its power surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10.55%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the power exceeded 10% and the spirit energy field activated, Zhang Yu felt a faint connection with the spirit energy within dozens of meters around, as if a single punch could reach any corner within that area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30.89%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the power exceeded 30%, the Mystic Armor Barrier suddenly activated, forming a light shield that enveloped Zhang Yu’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power continued to rise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>31.51%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>41.15%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not yet the limit. Sensing the intense activity of Zhang Yu’s body, the Divine Spirit Root’s power continued to increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as the Divine Spirit Root’s power kept growing, Zhang Yu did not stop. He directly activated the second-layer ability derived from the Martial Saint Embryo—Overload!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The qi and blood inside his body seemed to ignite at that moment, exploding with a roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi and blood surged like a tsunami, erupted like a volcano!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Overload ability activated, Zhang Yu’s muscles and internal organs entered a state of overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correspondingly, driven by the body’s overload, every technique being executed was forcibly elevated, reaching a level beyond their original limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crackling sounds came from Zhang Yu’s body. His figure, which had already grown to 2.8 meters, actually expanded again, surging to 3.3 meters in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a furious roar, the blood flow driven by the level 10 Blood Exchange Great Method accelerated again, raging through Zhang Yu’s blood vessels like a roaring mudslide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level 10 Five Qi Refining Organs Method, under Overload, churned his internal organs with extreme ferocity, like gasoline cans exploding with unprecedented visceral power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the level 10 Ice-Fire Tempering Great Method continuously raised the temperature under Overload, making Zhang Yu’s body heat rise repeatedly, evaporating his sweat and raising layers of white mist-like steam from his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Overload state immediately caused the Divine Spirit Root’s power to skyrocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>60.1%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment the Divine Spirit Root’s power exceeded 60%, Zhang Yu’s eyes flashed with light. He felt that the spirit energy in the air suddenly had color, and he could even see traces left by the spirit energy as it followed his movements and the Spirit Root’s operation in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zichou remarked admiringly: “Once the Divine Spirit Root breaks through 60% power, the Spirit Energy Detection function activates. By detecting changes in the spirit energy in the air, it can scan opponents, detect enemy traces, and observe martial arts, dao techniques…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Huang Zichou finished speaking, Zhang Yu’s Divine Spirit Root power continued to surge, reaching 85.11% in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>89.83%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>90.05%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft hum sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of spirit energy gathered behind Zhang Yu’s head, first forming a crimson halo. Then the halo, while rotating, emitted waves of heat and roars, gradually turning into a fire dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zichou quickly added: “At 90% power, you can activate the Mystic Armor Flame Dragon, condensing the positive spirit energy in the atmosphere to create a flame dragon with several thousand degrees of heat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The flame dragon’s temperature is condensed without being released. While the power is controllable, the dragon also moves with your will…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu's mind stirred slightly, and the Mystic Armor Flame Dragon flew a full circle around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel that this Flame Dragon was like a part of his own body, moving flexibly through the surrounding space according to his thoughts, striking wherever he willed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Zhang Yu's Divine Spirit Root power was surging explosively in that instant, Ye Lingxiao, after a moment of astonishment, began to chase with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, good—this is the kind of opponent a Foundation Establishment exam should have. It's worthy of all my preparation over the past period.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, Ye Lingxiao fiercely activated his Body Refinement techniques. Although his Divine Spirit Root power did not surge as fast as Zhang Yu's, it never stopped, climbing steadily upward step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw that Zhang Yu had activated his overload ability, causing the rate of his Divine Spirit Root power surge to increase drastically once more, even Ye Lingxiao, the proud son of the Immortal Capital, slightly changed expression at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of power...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of might...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen it in any high school student from the Immortal Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy—taking the medicine so slowly just now wasn't giving up the match at all; it was preparation, wasn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce grin curled at the corner of Ye Lingxiao's mouth: \"Excellent. It's precisely by defeating such a powerful enemy in front of so many university representatives that my own worth can be highlighted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Ye Lingxiao pulled a box of capsules from his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were exactly the Dao Dissolution Sustained-Release Capsules that he had participated in developing over the past three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, by now the name of the drug had changed to the Spirit Division Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the capsule entered his stomach, it was quickly absorbed and digested by Ye Lingxiao, transforming into surging medicinal force that crashed into his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the mental method in his mind shifted, and he began to circulate a technique specifically tailored for the Spirit Division Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since feeling the peculiar side effects of the Dao Dissolution Sustained-Release Capsules during the previous round of the Foundation Establishment exam, Ye Lingxiao had become intensely interested. In the time that followed, he participated in the drug's research and development, aiming to use those side effects to further unlock his own potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news was... these side effects were extremely difficult to harness and develop, and the drug was not yet marketable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was... by operating multiple Level 10 techniques, Ye Lingxiao could use this drug to push his physical body into a state of super-exertion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the medicinal force crashed into his mind, Ye Lingxiao felt as if his thoughts had split in two, or as if another self had appeared inside his brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But both of these selves were him—both were Ye Lingxiao—and as the targeted mental method circulated, they now joined forces to manipulate his physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among all high school students on Kunxu Layer 1, no one can match the sheer number of techniques I have mastered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But no matter how many techniques I have, my Dao Heart and mind can only operate a limited number simultaneously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a vast ocean of techniques, all stored within Ye Lingxiao's body, were like his immortal potential—always only partially unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when my thoughts gain an extra layer, when there is an additional 'me' inside my mind...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, different techniques began to circulate in every part of Ye Lingxiao's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muscles, fascia, bones, organs... the number of techniques he was operating instantly doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed each part of his body to employ the most suitable technique, releasing physical potential with finer precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For others, the Spirit Division Pill might be a poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Ye Lingxiao, it was a divine medicine that could unleash the countless techniques within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden mobilization of physical power directly stimulated the Divine Spirit Root power to surge repeatedly. After Zhang Yu, Ye Lingxiao's Divine Spirit Root power also quickly surpassed 90%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blinding firelight, a fire dragon was born from the spiritual mechanism, hovering like a ring of flame behind Ye Lingxiao's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the slightly dazed look on Ye Lingxiao's face, Huang Zichou frowned and said, \"Ye Lingxiao, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxiao laughed heartily and said, \"What could be wrong with me? Just taking some medicine, there's definitely nothing wrong. I just have a little problem with my mind, because after all, I took the medicine. Taking some medicine—how could there be any problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Spirit Division Pill could greatly stimulate Ye Lingxiao's potential, having an extra layer of thought in his mind to control the body left him slightly deficient in other aspects of mental capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zichou frowned. Although he couldn't quite understand what the other was saying, since it didn't affect the match, he let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao's divine spirit root power both surpassed 90%, the rate of increase gradually slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two exchanged a glance, their battle intent erupting—both filled with excitement and tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu: \"This guy... sure has improved a lot more than three months ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxiao: \"This guy! Who is he?! No matter what... no one can surpass me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With fierce battle intent, the two began to mobilize their physical strength even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu let out a violent shout, and all the idle flesh and blood in his body started to circulate the Dragon-Elephant Mountain-Crushing Palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>93.3%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxiao took a sharp breath, his cheeks flushing slightly red, as he unleashed an incredibly explosive fist technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>95.61%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In overload mode, hidden injuries kept emerging inside Zhang Yu's body—fine cracks appeared in his bones, his internal organs suffered minor damage, and inflammation flared up in the finest fibers of his muscles... but soon, under the effect of his Martial Dao Saint Embryo, these minor injuries continuously healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like an overworked engine, rushing forward wildly while being repaired at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yu roared inwardly: \"I must become stronger! I must become richer! I must have... freedom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to enter the Top Ten together with Azhen... and with Sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will definitely obtain the Foundation Establishment Qualification Certificate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>98.17%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lingxiao's perfect bloodline was pushed to its limits like never before; under the secretion of various hormones, his body suppressed all pain and injuries, bursting forth at its peak level at every moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, he could no longer form coherent words, but only one thought grew fiercer and more turbulent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone were to summarize it, it would probably be: \"I refuse to rot here on the first layer of Kunxu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Representatives from every university!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All of you, watch carefully!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As geniuses of the first layer of Kunxu, our aptitude, our will... will never lose to those bastards above!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their divine spirit roots reached 100% power one after the other, two gusts of wind burst forth from their bodies almost simultaneously, turning into whirlwinds swirling around their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zichou said calmly: \"Mystic Armor Divine Wind, the ability gained after the Mystic Armor Spirit Root reaches 100% power, allows one to glide at low altitude, move at high speed, and can be coordinated with Mystic Armor Flame Dragon to launch a wind-and-fire assault...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Huang Zichou could sense that most of the audience were no longer paying much attention to his explanation of the Mystic Armor Spirit Root's abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The representatives from each university were all staring intently at those two figures on the examination field.\u003C\u002Fp>",1952,"2026-05-29T04:54:42.391Z","2026-06-01T04:29:12.818Z",1,"deepseek-v4-flash","a008225c10eaca71b3be0ab89f5d15e5363d1e5e0515f6408901518073d7836b","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-231","no-money-what-cultivation-chapter-229",711,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fno-money-what-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
