You dare to cultivate without money?!-Chapter 267 - 231 Zhang Yu’s Final Battle with Ye Lingxiao

Chapter 267: Chapter 231 Zhang Yu’s Final Battle with Ye Lingxiao

Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao were each standing on a high platform at this moment.

The two platforms, each about five or six meters high, were separated by dozens of meters.

And on the ground below the platforms, as well as in the surrounding air, lines of Divine Power permeated, transforming into various runes to form a grand array.

Accompanied by the operation of this array, various high-risk environments would form on the platforms, threatening both Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.

Currently, a Dragon Binding Rope spanned between the two platforms, with Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao holding onto the two ends respectively.

Ye Lingxiao took a deep breath, adjusting every inch of his flesh to its optimal state, like a rocket full of fuel, ready to launch at full power at any moment.

Simultaneously, he licked the Distraction Spirit (Dao Solution Slow-Release Capsule) in his mouth, planning to bite through the capsule’s shell and swallow the Distraction Spirit as soon as the test began.

Staring at Zhang Yu on the opposite platform, Ye Lingxiao’s eyes glinted with intense battle intent, having resolved to engage his full power once the fight commenced.

Ye Lingxiao thought to himself, "Judging from the previous two rounds, his physical strength is now on par with mine, but perhaps due to his Dao Heart or insufficient accumulation time... his control over his body seems lacking."

Particularly recalling the previous Foundation Establishment exam where Zhang Yu performed clumsily in Xuanming Heavy Water, Ye Lingxiao became more convinced of this.

"This guy has caught up to me in physical strength level so fast, he surely must be lacking in control."

"The best approach is to unleash all my might from the start, leveraging my superior body control to exert greater physical strength and defeat him in one swoop."

"Otherwise, as the high-risk environments continue to change and both our bodies get worn down, my advantage in bodily control will steadily diminish."

Feeling the Distraction Spirit within his mouth, Ye Lingxiao thought confidently, "Fortunately, I have made considerable progress in the past three months. My initial burst should surely defeat him."

As Ye Lingxiao made up his mind, the countdown suddenly appeared in mid-air.

3!

As the countdown appeared, Zhang Yu on the other high platform abruptly tensed his muscles and tightly grasped the Dragon Binding Rope.

Simultaneously, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "In this round... I have to drag it out!"

"My control isn’t as good as his; a direct confrontation would be unpredictable."

"I must rely on the massive toxic power eruption from Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to overpower the opponent in one go."

"Even though Ye Lingxiao can use this move too, without the High Sacred Body, the toxin he can release surely can’t match mine."

Feeling the continually toxin-absorbing "Zen" sign, Zhang Yu thought, "The longer I drag, the more medicinal and toxic power I accumulate, granting me a chance to erupt stronger in a short burst and overpower the opponent..."

"So drag as long as I can, until I can’t hold anymore, then erupt the toxins to stimulate potential."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu glanced at the High Sacred Body on the Chain Technique Map, ultimately not switching it to Martial Arts Sacred Embryo.

He decided to let the High Sacred Body absorb more medicinal power with its peak Qi Refinement digestion and metabolism ability, accumulating more toxins.

Zhang Yu could feel that every extra second of greed translated to more power in the next burst, slightly increasing his chance of success in this test.

As these thoughts flashed through Zhang Yu’s mind, the countdown number in the air changed again.

2!

Ye Lingxiao fiercely bit open the Distraction Spirit’s shell, swallowing it whole, and in an instant, the medicinal power spread within his body, sending cool energy rushing toward his crown.

Zhang Yu took a deep breath, his muscles exploded, swelling his whole body into a 2.8-meter small giant.

1!

Roar!

With an angry roar, Zhang Yu’s muscles twisted into a cord, resembling explosives detonating, yanking the Dragon Binding Rope fiercely towards him.

On the other high platform, under the influence of the Distraction Spirit, Ye Lingxiao was momentarily dazed.

He seemed unresponsive, and in that instant, Zhang Yu pulled him, leaving only a three-meter distance from the platform’s edge.

At this moment, it was as if two voices clashed in Ye Lingxiao’s mind, one urging the activation of Ruyi Linglong Bone, the other pressing for the Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power.

His body swelled and contracted, seemingly in conflict between different cultivation techniques.

Ye Lingxiao inwardly exclaimed, "Is there something wrong with the Distraction Spirit? Is the interval between usages too short?"

The three meters to the platform edge brought a massive sense of threat, the word "failure" crashing down on Ye Lingxiao like a collapsing sky.

"I can’t lose!"

In that brief moment, memories of his past flooded Ye Lingxiao’s mind.

He recalled his deceased siblings and the family rules the Ye Family adhered to for generations.

"One is born with inherent talents, and instead of wasting resources on mediocrities, it is better to abandon them and cultivate only the most outstanding in each generation."

This was what the Clan Leader told him before he entered high school.

"Talent determines the limit of each clan member."

"And the simplest way to obtain talented descendants is to have many."

"Lingxiao, do you remember the gacha games the company runs? Just like drawing character cards, as long as you draw enough, you’ll get a powerful character."

"Offspring are the same; have enough, and you will gain talented descendants. The Heavenly Dao is miraculous like this."

The Clan Leader stroked his head with a smile, saying, "Therefore, our Ye Family creates over ten thousand descendants in each generation, but only a mere few become true bloodline successors. Generation after generation, with the newest Immortal Path technology, to eventually mold our clan’s perfect bloodline."

"But I used this as a foundation to make new changes."

"After all, although some descendants may not have strong overall talent, certain parts of their bodies have unique advantages."

"Just like some people are born with long arms, some have naturally strong hearts, and some have resilient meridians... Such differences are common among your siblings, and you all belong to the same bloodline."

The Clan Leader said with pride, "Ling Xiao, your talent is already outstanding, and you are considered the best among your ten thousand siblings."

"That’s why you deserve the surname Ye."

"By integrating the excellent traits of your outstanding brothers and sisters... After gathering their talents, you will become the strongest generation of the Ye Family."

"You must cooperate sincerely and unite as one, understand?"

On the high platform of the examination hall.

At the moment when Zhang Yu dragged him out, as if stimulated by the crisis or pressured by the memories in his mind, the two conflicting thoughts in Ye Lingxiao’s mind suddenly worked together sincerely.

On the other side, Zhang Yu saw Ye Lingxiao being pulled by him, and was shocked: "What’s happening with him?"

"Could I win directly?"

Zhang Yu immediately thought of unleashing the power of the Spring and Autumn Endless Zen to defeat the opponent in one go.

But Ye Lingxiao, in just that fleeting moment of distraction, did not give Zhang Yu this opportunity.

Boom!

Ye Lingxiao stomped fiercely on the ground. As his muscles swelled, dragon scale-like patterns appeared on his flesh, simultaneously activating Ruyi Linglong Bone and the Great Heavenly Dragon Divine Power.

Immediately after, the two thoughts in Ye Lingxiao’s mind seamlessly coordinated, launching one Martial Arts technique after another. The poison of Spring and Autumn Endless Zen erupted, and the fascia continued to expand with the Elephants Demon Binding Muscle Transformation...

Ye Lingxiao instantly steadied himself at the edge of the high platform.

Bang!

As Ye Lingxiao stopped, the Dragon Binding Rope snapped taut in mid-air with a loud sound.

In Ye Lingxiao’s mind, the two thoughts alternately roared, each voicing their thoughts.

"We are the best!"

"How can we lose?"

"If we lose to the opponent, wouldn’t it tarnish the name of the perfect bloodline? How can we promote the new technology?"

"Do you know how much less profit we’d make from the huge investment in stocks?"

"Without this money, how do we go to college? How can we compete with those rich people above?"

"If anyone makes us earn less! We’ll make him pay!"

With the joint operation of these two thoughts, Ye Lingxiao felt his body being controlled by two selves. With each activation of a cultivation technique, his strength skyrocketed.

At this moment, Ye Lingxiao drew more strength from within himself than Zhang Yu.

Thud!

As Ye Lingxiao took a step back, Zhang Yu was also dragged forward by a step.

Seeing Zhang Yu being pulled step by step by Ye Lingxiao towards the edge of the platform, the air suddenly heated up slightly.

Accompanied by changes in the Divine Power Array, the intense heat descended.

The air rapidly heated up, making each breath feel like it scorched Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao’s lungs, with stinging pain on their skin.

Both stopped breathing almost simultaneously, and Zhang Yu operated the low-temperature state of the Ice and Fire Body Refinement technique to resist the hot environment.

Ye Lingxiao operated a protective body cultivation technique, wrapping himself in a thick layer of keratin, trying to isolate the transmission of heat.

After all this exertion, Ye Lingxiao gritted his teeth and continued pulling the taut Dragon Binding Rope, dragging Zhang Yu forward by another two steps, leaving only five steps away from the platform’s edge.

At this moment, the high-risk environment changed again.

The scorching heat disappeared, and gravity changes descended upon Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao. They felt as if they were suddenly carrying a mountain on their backs.

The load on their internal organs intensified, forcing both to operate internal strength to resist.

After slightly adapting, Ye Lingxiao yanked again, dragging Zhang Yu forward by another two steps, leaving only three steps away from the edge.

The high-risk environment changed again, and this time it was high pressure.

The atmosphere became suddenly heavy, as if they were thrown into the depths of the ocean thousands of meters down.

The sudden pressure change directly caused Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao to bleed from their seven orifices, their eardrums rupturing.

They had to adjust the pressure in their body cavities to combat this environment.

But Ye Lingxiao seized the opportunity, dragging Zhang Yu forward by two more steps, leaving only the last step away from the edge of the platform.

"Can’t wait any longer."

Zhang Yu focused slightly on the Chain Technique Map, taking two seconds to switch the Holy Body from high school to Martial Arts Sacred Fetus.

With this switch, Zhang Yu felt a regenerative force emerging in his flesh and blood, and the surrounding high pressure seemed not so terrifying before the Martial Arts Sacred Fetus.

But in those two seconds, the high-risk environment changed again, the high pressure vanished, but waves of acid mist appeared out of nowhere, attacking the two of them.
