Chapter 269: Chapter 232 Finally Achieving Foundation Establishment (Two-in-One Chapter)_2
Unconsciously, Ye Lingxiao had already bitten down on the second Fragmented Spirit Pill in his mouth.
As the temperature of his brain rapidly increased, he felt a wave of dizziness come over him, yet miraculously maintained three types of thinking, as if he were three people operating his body, performing three times the usual amount of cultivation techniques.
Blood, organs, bones, fascia… Every inch of his flesh was mobilized 100%, pushing Ye Lingxiao’s body power to an unprecedented peak.
This caused the Dragon Binding Rope, which was being wildly dragged, to suddenly slacken.
But… it’s still not enough!
With a crisp crack, Zhang Yu’s finger bones suddenly fractured under his terrifying strength.
Yet correspondingly, Ye Lingxiao was a step closer to the cliff.
“Are we… still not his match?”
“Then let’s keep fighting.”
“Representatives of the university, don’t you like watching the geniuses below struggle desperately?”
“Then feast your eyes today.”
The next moment, Zhang Yu only felt the force coming from the other end of the Dragon Binding Rope surge once again, with a tendency to drag him over.
“Does he have this kind of trump card?”
Zhang Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Lingxiao, only to see green smoke rising from another high platform, accompanied by sizzling sounds, large patches of acid mist were continuously corroding Ye Lingxiao’s flesh.
“This guy… is he giving up using part of his strength to resist the acid mist and using all his strength to fight me?”
At the same time, the high-risk environment changed once again, waves of toxic mist surged, simultaneously engulfing Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao.
Zhang Yu shook his muscles, raising a strong wind to blow away the toxic mist.
But at this moment, Ye Lingxiao still had no intention of wasting any strength on blowing away the toxic mist.
His eyes were locked onto Zhang Yu and the Dragon Binding Rope, at this moment it seemed like he had only one thought left in his mind, he must win! He must fight with all his might to obtain the Foundation Establishment qualification!
Watching Ye Lingxiao fight so desperately, at this moment Zhang Yu suddenly understood the true purpose of this examination.
“Those True Gods, they calculated this a long time ago, knowing that if we were to fight to the last, we would need to determine the victor in a life and death crisis, right?”
“Do those high and mighty people in the audience really love watching us fight for our lives this much?”
Looking at Ye Lingxiao, covered in blood, blue and purple, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Even though I still don’t know your name.”
“But from the force transmitted through this Dragon Binding Rope, I have already felt your will, experienced your determination.”
“But I definitely won’t concede either.”
“Moreover, when it comes to fighting for one’s life… I am definitely better than you!”
Zhang Yu also stopped resisting the toxic mist, channeling all his spirit, all his strength, onto the Dragon Binding Rope.
As the strength of the two fiercely collided on the Dragon Binding Rope, a powerful tremor came from the body of the rope.
At the same time, the high-risk environment began to change again.
High temperature, high pressure, strong acids, toxins…
But at this moment, no matter what kind of threat or harm, it was no longer able to make Zhang Yu and Ye Lingxiao lose focus even the slightest.
Whether it was the burning of the body under high temperatures, the scorching of all the organs.
Or the rupture of cavities due to high blood pressure, bodily damage.
Or the blurred flesh, the severe burns inside and out.
Or the body’s toxic reactions, with the increasingly intense operation spreading the toxins…
At this moment, none of it mattered anymore to the two of them.
They staked their lives, wagered all the power they could muster.
In their eyes at this moment was only each other, only that one thought.
Use their absolutely strongest force, their strongest will, to fiercely pull the other over!
With a crack, Ye Lingxiao’s right thigh bone finally snapped completely under repeated damage, making him collapse to one knee.
On the other side, Zhang Yu relied on his strong self-healing ability, and although he looked just as bloody, still maintained his structure intact.
Ye Lingxiao’s fracture broke the balance of the scales, leaving him unable to stop the movement of the Dragon Binding Rope.
“Am I going to lose?”
Watching himself being dragged step by step toward the abyss-like cliff edge, a flash of despair suddenly crossed Ye Lingxiao’s heart.
The family’s heavy burden, the siblings’ dying entrustments, endless examinations, grades, awards, over and over being number one…
All of these things once made Ye Lingxiao feel like a series of shackles, a web of threads binding him, entangling his life, making him feel more and more tired, exhausted.
But later he gradually understood, even without these, he would still want to climb the Immortal Path, the family gave him a heavy burden, but even more gave him opportunities and assistance far beyond others.
“I want the future children of the Ye Family to no longer make such sacrifices, to no longer need to pay the cost of thousands of lives to attain the starting line that some people are born stepping on.”
“I want the Ye Family to move to the second level, to have household registration on the second level, to become a second-level family.”
Ye Lingxiao knew full well, the family’s heavy expectations, the siblings’ entrusting were never his shackles.
They were like his heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, lungs, accompanying him every moment, silently pushing him from behind, bringing him to where he stood today.
