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

Chapter 420 Sophomore Year Final Exams (1.2 Alliance Leaders)
It's already the end of August, the day of the second-year final exams.

The students in the Civil Engineering Foundation Class have unknowingly spent two academic years.

On the examination hall of Dao Xin.

Feng Jiu's gaze swept over the performance of each examinee in the spirit world.

Li Xiao drove his flying boat at high speed, and between a student from the Netherworld University and a junior college student, he decisively chose to run over and kill the junior college student.

Then came 10 junior college students, 100 junior college students, 200 junior college students... until he reached 300 junior college students, at which point he began to have doubts.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "This question is a bit outdated. It's too easy for today's students. It should be updated."

"After all, the value of a junior college degree has depreciated significantly in recent years. Isn't this just a simple math problem? It doesn't test people's hearts at all."

In another light screen, Yu Xinghan was transformed into a stray dog. Fearing that he would not be able to find a job after becoming a dog, he went around looking for work and practiced dog skills, just to find a glimmer of hope for survival.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly: "Even in the depths of despair, you still persevere and work hard. Even after turning into a dog, you still insist on finding a job. Your dedication is truly commendable."

In another light screen, Ying Xin, facing the coercion of the Dual Cultivation Cult, chose to die to prove her innocence, preferring death to surrender.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly: "This question is relevant to current events. Is it a new addition? Rather die than accept coercion from a cult, and not give up one's right to work overtime, this is another promising seed for the immortal path."

"It seems that the anti-cult education in schools has been quite successful recently."

Looking at another light screen, one could see Gongshu Jin standing in the construction site, lifting up the corpse of a fellow worker and activating the corpse's magic to shake the earth.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly: "Inheriting the will of your companions, turning their deaths into an advantage at work, and working overtime together until the very last moment, not bad, not bad."

Feng Jiu thought to herself, "But several questions in a row have been related to work. Is it because of the influence of the 'two-weekend cult'?"

On the other side of the screen, Feng Jiu watched as Ji Yuanshu became a demon descendant, overcoming his desire to devour his family members time and time again, and finally successfully raising a family of demon descendants, selling his family members, and earning his first pot of gold.

Feng Jiu: "It not only overcame the instinct of hunger for flesh and blood, but also suppressed the concept of family affection. There is nothing else but the path of immortality. It is a good solution to this problem. The important thing is that it showed a firm Dao heart in the process."

In another beam of light, Zhang Yu, facing forced demolition, found an opportunity to hide inside a house, where he received the demolition compensation and even more money.

Feng Jiu nodded slightly: "Taking risks and making big gains with small stakes demonstrates a spirit of hard work and adventure. However, Zhang Yu's Dao heart should be more than that, so the next question should be more difficult."

Looking at the performance of each student in the Foundation Building Class, Feng Jiu commented: "Each of them has amazing fighting spirit, each of them is an outstanding talent, and they have all made continuous progress in the past academic year."

"They are all good students; there are no underachievers."

……

In the magical examination hall.

Students are taking turns to be tested on their magical power, quality of magical power, and transmission of magical energy.

Li Mingbo, the magic teacher, was filled with amazement.

“Zhang Yu on the first floor ranks first in all magic-related stats, completely surpassing Ji Yuanshu on the sixth floor…”

The students on the first floor defeated the students on the sixth floor in a comprehensive and overwhelming victory, which made Li Mingbo feel a sense of upheaval.

Then he looked at Yu Xinghan on the other side.

They are students on the same floor, but they are already among the top five in the class, and are even very close to fourth place.

If it weren't for Zhang Yu's appearance, Yu Xinghan's achievements alone would have been enough to surprise Li Mingbo.

Then he looked at Li Xiao and nodded slightly: "This is the normal level range for first-grade students."

……

In the examination room where physical strength is tested.

Zhang Yu took the lead, shooting out of the complex examination hall like lightning, sweeping through the area like a hurricane, sending clouds of dust flying into the sky.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's body was surging with vital energy.

The flow of qi and blood surged back and forth like magma.

Driven by his level 20 physical strength, he forcibly activated a series of explosive martial arts techniques.

The Demon-Slaying Life-Destroying Technique and the Endless Zen of Spring and Autumn... pushed his physical body wildly. Although he couldn't break through the Foundation Establishment limit in the short term, he was able to forcefully unleash a bit of power that exceeded the level 20 physical strength.

Driven by such violent power, his physical body was naturally under immense strain, with his flesh and blood being damaged and broken almost every moment, as if his body were being burned.

But with the boost of bodily activation, his body was repeatedly damaged and healed.

Especially with the blessing of the Martial Arts Saint Body, his activated body also carries a subtle martial arts intent, which allows him to bear the damage to his body relatively evenly, keeping the breaking and healing of flesh and blood in a balanced state.

In addition, the power he exerted throughout his body, under the subtle control of martial arts, allowed him to unleash even stronger, faster, and more ferocious speeds, rapidly advancing with each sharp-angle turn, almost without any deceleration.

Ji Yuanshu was enveloped in a whirlwind of energy, and with the blessing of his magical body, he continued to accelerate forward, only to find that he could not catch up with Zhang Yu.

"Damn it, my straight-line acceleration is definitely faster than his, but..."

Looking at the distorted terrain, Ji Yuanshu had to slow down and turn repeatedly, and was never able to reach his top speed.

Meanwhile, in this simulated war environment, he also had to constantly dodge various attacks coming at him.

On the other hand, Zhang Yu...

He allowed a bolt of lightning to strike him head-on, colliding violently with the cloud of mist surrounding his face. Despite the impact, Zhang Yu's movements didn't slow down at all. Instead, thanks to his masterful martial arts techniques and the Nine Heavens Cloud Force enhanced by his Martial Saint Body, he managed to borrow power from the lightning strike, accelerating himself once more.

Ji Yuanshu watched helplessly as he accelerated time and time again, only to be forced to stop again and again due to turning and dodging.

On the contrary, Zhang Yu's speed became faster and faster, and he even pulled further and further away from him.

"why?"

"Why have I already given it my all?"

Why am I getting further and further away from Zhang Yu?

Watching Zhang Yu's receding figure, Ji Yuanshu felt as if he were watching an opponent whose overall score was increasingly higher than his own, yet he was helpless and felt an ever-growing sense of resentment.

……

As one exam after another passed.

Zhang Yu displayed overwhelming strength in almost every match, firmly holding the top spot in the class without any doubt.

Yu Xinghan took a picture of Zhang Yu sprinting all the way to victory and sent it to Zhang Yu's backup dual cultivation group.

Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu's photo.image file
The group chat was immediately flooded with messages.

"Zhang Yu looks so cool when he sprints!"

"With so much money, of course he's handsome no matter what he does."

"Group owner, please take a few more pictures."

"Group owner, has Zhang Yu responded yet?"

Yu Xinghan: There are too many applicants.

Yu Xinghan: Zhang Yu and I discussed it. You guys pay for the medicine first, and Zhang Yu can take one dose of the medicine with you.
Yu Xinghan: Remember, only take the medicine, do nothing else.
"Huh? We can only take the medicine together?"

Yu Xinghan: It will depend on your performance then. He might choose one of you to cultivate together.

Before we knew it, the final civil engineering professional skills exam was approaching.

In order to objectively assess the professional abilities of each student, this year's professional ability test, like last year's, also started with examples.

Even more unusual than the previous year, the exam venue was set on the 668th floor.

Tu Lishan looked at the students in the class and said, "This time, in order to test your performance in a real environment and to give you a more objective score, we have specially arranged the test to be held on a real construction site."

"For the sake of your exam, this area will be completely shut down for the next 12 hours, with no workers except you."

"We have suspended overtime work here."

Many students were shocked upon hearing this, marveling at the teachers' actions.

"They actually made the construction workers stop work for 12 hours?"

"Is it all for our exams?"

"What a great handwriting!"

Zhang Yu cursed inwardly, "Damn it... are they deliberately making us work as free labor?"

Yu Xinghan cursed inwardly, "Twelve hours of exams? Twelve hours of free work? Are you even human?"

Ying Xin cursed inwardly, "Why does everyone only dare to curse in their hearts? Is there no one in the Civil Engineering department who dares to stand up and curse? Is there not a single one with guts?"

Tu Lishan continued, "During your sophomore year, the focus of your studies has always been on large-scale construction capabilities."

"So the content of this exam is the same, testing everyone's large-scale construction capabilities."

“I have assigned you different construction site tasks, covering various aspects of large-scale construction, to ensure that every student has endless work to do in these 12 hours, enough to test your limits.”

As they spoke, a series of information appeared before their eyes, all of which were large-scale construction tasks that they could undertake on the site in front of them.

At the same time, they also saw their respective salary statistics, although so far they were all zero.

Tu Lishan said, "I believe everyone has seen the salary statistics, right?"

Zhang Yu thought to himself with delight, "So there's a salary after all, Tu Lishan... I was so wrong about you!"

Tu Lishan continued, "The scoring for this exam is very simple; it's based on everyone's completion rate of large-scale construction projects."

"Specifically, it is calculated based on the salary that everyone can receive, and finally converted into a score."

"We believe this data best reflects your large-scale construction capabilities after a year of learning and practice."

Yu Xinghan raised his hand and asked, "Is the salary paid right after the exam?"

Tu Lishan smiled slightly: "Haven't your salaries already been converted into more important scores?"

"Of course, you can also choose not to convert."

Yu Xinghan cursed inwardly, "Damn it... this piece of junk!"
