The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord, listening to the Cloud Dweller True Lord, nodded and said, “Cloud Dweller True Lord, your Civil Engineering Department at Myriad Laws University truly has an abundance of talented individuals, each with their own strengths.”

“It seems that in addition to this cohort, the next one will also produce talents capable of obtaining military certificates.”

The Cloud Dweller True Lord smiled faintly and replied, “We’re no match for your Heavenly Demon University’s Civil Engineering Department. You’ve taken first place in the inter-university civil engineering competition for the past few years.”

Hearing this, the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord burst out laughing, saying, “This year’s competition might be different.”

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord pointed at Ping Han and asked, “Isn’t this senior student on the same team as Mo Shangjin?”

“He has accumulated knowledge for many years. If he obtains a military certificate this time, he will probably be able to master the Tian Kunlun Mountain-Moving Divine Power immediately. At that time, your Civil Engineering Department will have Mo Shangjin and him, two individuals who have mastered military-grade martial arts, forming a team to compete.”

Hearing this, the Cloud Dweller True Lord smiled without speaking. In his opinion, Ping Han winning the military certificate was indeed the best outcome.

“Xiao Yunji is excellent, but she could benefit from two more years of development.”

“Zhang Yu will be sent to the Magnetic Pole in the Artifact Forging Department anyway.”

“If Ping Han gets the military certificate, he can team up with Mo Shangjin to make a strong bid in the inter-university civil engineering competition and see if they can finally secure first place.”

Compared to individual achievements, the Cloud Dweller True Lord was clearly thinking more about the overall performance of the entire Civil Engineering Department.

The Civil Engineering Department of Myriad Laws University hadn’t won the inter-university civil engineering competition for several years.

If they could win this year, it would also be a positive outcome for him as the vice-principal responsible for teaching.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Director Gao was also carefully observing the performance of each student on the field.

Just then, Director Lin, who had arrived beside him at some point, chuckled and said, “Zhang Yu’s Small Three-Union technique is well-executed, and his construction ability is also very strong. He truly utilizes every bit of his strength to great effect.”

“But ultimately, it can’t compare to how well Ping Han trades cryptocurrencies.”

Director Lin looked at Director Gao and said flatly, “Seeing a student from the War Faction finally achieve a breakthrough by trading cryptocurrencies and excelling in the way of currency, old Gao, do you have no thoughts on this?”

Director Gao said coldly, “Even if Ping Han obtains the military certificate today, it’s merely the culmination of years of accumulation. The growth of Ambrosia Coin was just a catalyst.”

Director Lin shook his head and sighed, “Old Gao, the Finance Department has money, and we have people. By following them, acquiring capital and land, and engaging in real estate and finance, it’s a grand path to immortality where everyone benefits. I just don’t understand what you War Faction people are resisting.”

Director Gao retorted, “I also don’t understand how you can trust those in the Finance Department, who would skin even a passing dog. The war has already escalated to the level of the Thirty-Sixth Colonels, yet some people still close their eyes and pretend not to see.”

Director Lin sighed, “Gao Chongguang, you’ve gone mad from laying bricks.”

While the judges and guests on the flying boat were watching the exam and conversing amongst themselves, the offensive on the examination field was growing fiercer. Yellow Turban Soldiers of various forms appeared in turns, their weapons and the power they exerted becoming increasingly formidable.

Violent auras swept, thunder and fire surged, causing the earth to tremble and the plains to turn into scorched earth.

It was as the battle became increasingly intense that the students’ conditions gradually began to change.

As the exam progressed, the underground catacombs constructed by Su Yanyang became increasingly complex and complete. The maze-like underground palace furiously devoured the incoming Yellow Turban Soldiers, with endless traps continuously annihilating waves of enemies.

But just then, seeing the constantly refreshing message notifications in his ocular interface, Su Yanyang finally couldn’t resist and decided to take a look.

Especially considering the earlier news about the growth of Ambrosia Coin.

“What if Ambrosia Coin has risen again?”

Ever since he bought Ambrosia Coin, Su Yanyang always checked the coin price whenever he had a moment, refreshing related news and gossip from various groups.

Sometimes, without doing anything else, he could just watch the changes in Ambrosia Coin’s price, trading volume, and other data for a long time.

The moment he opened the message notifications, Su Yanyang’s heart jolted.

“Ambrosia Divine Lord publicly announces a companion!”

“Ambrosia Divine Lord is getting married!”

“It is rumored that after her marriage, Ambrosia Divine Lord will no longer dual cultivate with anyone outside of her companion…”

Watching these circulating rumors, Su Yanyang was momentarily greatly shaken. Even the circulation of his magic power slowed by a beat, causing a section of the underground catacombs to be breached by the Yellow Turban Soldiers.

Even so, he barely resisted, focusing more of his attention on Ambrosia Coin.

Because Su Yanyang clearly realized one thing: “If Ambrosia Divine Lord no longer dual cultivates with outsiders, wouldn’t she be even less likely to offer dual cultivation through a lottery?”

“Ambrosia Coin is going to fall!”

“It’s going to plummet!”

Thinking this, Su Yanyang frantically logged onto the platform and began to manipulate his account to sell Ambrosia Coin.

“Damn it, why won’t Ambrosia Divine Lord dual cultivate with outsiders after her marriage?”

“What age are we living in? Does she still need to adhere to ancient customs?”

“Is she still a divine lord who transcends mortality?”

“And who is her companion? Will he just stand by and watch Ambrosia Divine Lord destroy her own foundation? Won’t he persuade her to continue dual cultivating with outsiders?”

Thinking about Ambrosia Coin’s impending plummet, Su Yanyang showered the Ambrosia Divine Lord with curses, feeling that she was too old-fashioned, too backward, and too unmotivated.

“To stop dual cultivating with outsiders just because she has a companion? To abandon her Ambrosia Coin, which she’s managed for so long? Isn’t that self-sabotaging her foundation for immortality? Ambrosia Divine Lord truly has too little self-respect!”

Due to most of his attention being focused on this, he repeatedly suffered setbacks on the examination field, and several more sections of the underground palace within his catacombs were breached in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, on Xiao Yunji’s examination field.

Her figure continued to flash at high speed, her three-headed, six-armed body like an unyielding fortress, crushing every incoming Yellow Turban Soldier into dust.

Dense piles of debris accumulated at her feet, like mountains of garbage, surrounding the core of the formation.

With a hiss, another dose of potion was injected into Xiao Yunji’s neck, alleviating her continuously declining Dharma Skeleton Synchronization Rate.

But at this moment, Xiao Yunji no longer cared about these things. Her eyes were now solely focused on the battle, repeating her moves in the fastest, fiercest, and most ferocious way, slaughtering every Yellow Turban Soldier before her.

As for Ambrosia Coin?

She hadn’t paid any attention to it.

In fact, since the exam began, she had directly turned off all social media applications, solely to focus completely, unleash her full combat power, and perfectly demonstrate her strength in the examination field.

Meanwhile, the judges and guests on the flying boat also noticed the unusual situation on the examination field.

“Is some news about Ambrosia Coin spreading around?”

Within the human-shaped cloud mist that was the Cloud Dweller True Lord, lightning flashed repeatedly, bringing forth a series of muffled thunderclaps. He said, “This certainly tests the mentality of students who hold coins.”

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord beside him, however, said indifferently, “What is this?”

“Back when immortal cultivation technology wasn’t as developed, it wasn’t uncommon for the internet to cut out halfway through an exam, or for earthquakes to happen, or spiritual energy to go out of control.”

“Without an unyielding Dao heart, how can one advance on the path of immortality?”

In the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord’s view, changes in currency were like the shifting of the sun and stars or the surging of spiritual energy – a type of environmental change. If one couldn’t even withstand such minor events, what was the point of taking the military certificate exam?

The Cloud Dweller True Lord nodded and said lightly, “Immortal cultivation technology is becoming more and more developed, but students’ mindsets are not as resilient as before.”

“Back in our day, people would still be fighting on the front lines while their companies back home went bankrupt first. What does this little thing count for?”

The Celestial Phenomenon True Lord watched Su Yanyang’s frantic appearance and shook his head. “That’s not how you trade crypto. If he traded like that in the old days, he would have collapsed long ago.”

Then the Celestial Phenomenon True Lord looked at Ping Han, his gaze shifting, “Oh?”

“Don’t panic, it’s all fake news.”

“The coin price fluctuations are just technical adjustments; don’t be nervous.”

Facing the constantly refreshing messages in the paid group chat, Ping Han maintained a calm expression. His palm seals changed, manipulating the power of the Small Three-Union and the grand formation to continue fighting.

His magic power and aura operated as stably as a machine. Not only was there no trace of panic, but he was even able to comfort everyone in the group while continuing to display formidable power on the examination field.

With a slam of his palm, rock layers exploded, like raging dragons roaring, turning Yellow Turban Soldiers into scattered debris that rained down to the ground.

But although Ping Han was calm and composed, his soul cultivators, one by one, became nervous, causing the battle line to fall into chaos for a time.

Facing this situation, Ping Han directly sent a screenshot.

Ping Han: “This is the Ambrosia Coin I just invested in.”

Ping Han: “Trust me, based on my two years of experience trading crypto, this is all fake news. The coin price is just normal fluctuation.”

Ping Han: “Hold on, don’t panic.”

Feeling Ping Han’s inner calmness and seeing the order he had revealed, the soul cultivators who had just been panicked gradually calmed down.

But only Ping Han himself knew that his back had just been drenched in cold sweat.

However, his rich crypto trading experience made him understand that precisely at such times, one must not panic; one must hold on.

And he genuinely believed that his judgment was not wrong.

“Ambrosia Coin will definitely continue to rise.”

“What I need to do… is to hold on!”

At this moment, the Yellow Turban Soldiers surging like a tide before his eyes seemed to transform into waves of fluctuating coin prices in Ping Han’s perception.

He was determined to clear all obstacles, to maintain an unyielding Dao heart amidst these fluctuating market conditions, to be resolute, and to never surrender.

With another slam of his palm, Ping Han sent large groups of Yellow Turban Soldiers flying.

While Ping Han resisted the Yellow Turban Soldiers’ endless offensive, the fluctuations of Ambrosia Coin continued, stirring up the emotions of many soul cultivators.

Ping Han, however, remained like a silent machine, continuously circulating his power and striking with his palm.

At this moment, he was like an unyielding and rugged reef, silently standing on the front line of the waves, smashing through wave after wave of howling winds and roaring waves.

And just as the Yellow Turban Soldiers’ offensive grew fiercer, and the soul cultivators became increasingly anxious and unable to maintain Ping Han’s composure, the Ambrosia Divine Lord finally released an announcement.

In another examination field, Su Yanyang excitedly clicked on it, thinking to himself, “Is it an announcement that she’s not getting married?”

But then he quickly found out it wasn’t.

The Ambrosia Divine Lord announced that no matter how many times she marries in the future, she will not stop developing her career, will not stop dual cultivating with outsiders, and certainly will not stop offering lottery dual cultivation. She will always continue to progress in her beloved dual cultivation endeavor.

She also announced that the first lottery ceremony would begin next week, with 1,000 slots available.
