To secure the military certificate, I must establish an absolute advantage.

This was Ping Han’s thought: to win this exam with overwhelming superiority, leaving no opportunity for anyone else.

He didn’t know how others were performing. But if, in the end, someone else managed to protect their formation core to 100% integrity, he wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest.

Therefore, to further solidify his advantage, he decided not only to protect the formation core to 100% integrity, but also to unleash his full power before the exam ended and completely annihilate the Yellow Turban army in front of him.

However, achieving this before the exam concluded would not be easy! He would need not only to unleash his full power but also to generate a decisive destructive force!

Amidst thunderous crashes, the earth cracked open, and massive ravines suddenly appeared. It was as if an invisible long blade were slicing through the ground, carving out a huge rectangle.

While fighting, Ping Han hadn’t constructed many defensive fortifications. Instead, he had been continuously performing underground construction! He had cut out a massive section of the earth, as if slicing a cake!

At this moment, accompanied by a sky-high plume of smoke and dust, the severed section of earth began to rise upward, as if a piece of cake had been lifted out by Ping Han!

Scenes of his journey and struggle on the path to immortality flashed through Ping Han’s mind.

“Working for others won’t make you rich or allow you to break through to the Golden Core stage. Ultimately, it will only exhaust your lifespan, making you merely someone else’s potential for immortality!”

“To break through to the Golden Core stage, one must get rich quickly!” And to get rich quickly, one must trade crypto!

“Because for cultivators of our era, for us poor souls, all other avenues to sudden wealth and immortal fortune have been systematically blocked!”

“It wasn’t I who chose crypto trading; it was the era that chose crypto trading!”

“Crypto trading chose me. It’s only through crypto trading… that I have even a slight chance of surpassing the wealthy. This is one of the few immortal opportunities the new era has left for the poor!”

“Poverty leads to becoming a ghost; wealth leads to becoming an immortal. Getting a result from crypto trading in a few years is always more freeing than struggling for a century only to eventually become a wisp of a wandering spirit!”

Upon this thought, Ping Han laughed heartily and declared loudly, “The path to immortality has no way; crypto is the path. Even if I die seeking crypto, my heart is like iron. Damn it… I’ll gamble one more time.” He then commanded, “Lift the mountain!”

In an instant, as a series of assets and contracts were mortgaged, Ping Han squeezed out his last reserves of potential, maximizing the efficiency of numerous magic treasures and dharma relics! Immediately after his roar, various magic treasures plunged underground, either releasing their power or emitting echoing roars.

“Lift the mountain!” With a colossal roar, the horizon, which had previously been rising slowly under the influence of the Small Tri-Harmony, now violently shook and ascended rapidly, as if a massive mountain were erupting from the earth. Its rapidly expanding shadow instantly engulfed the Yellow Turban army!

“Lift the mountain!” Amidst his furious roar, Ping Han’s veins bulged, his spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and it was being consumed at an astonishing rate! The spiritual coins in his bank account fluctuated rapidly, plummeting towards zero!

As he raised his hands high, as if supporting the heavens, he glared at the Yellow Turban army with wide, furious eyes!

As he violently pressed his hands down, as if to shatter the myriad obstacles on the path to immortality and ascend to the peak step by step! Amidst earth-shattering reverberations, the sky-obscuring mass of earth crashed down, poised to pulverize everything beneath it!

Amidst the thunderous vibrations, visible waves of impact erupted one after another, as if the ground itself were colliding! The dust and smoke, rushing skyward, instantly obscured the entire area, blocking everyone’s view.

Witnessing this astonishing strike, even the numerous judges and guests on the flying ship were collectively moved!

“A strike that gambled everything!” True Monarch Qiyun said, “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen such a spectacular exam for the Civil Engineering Department’s military certificate! Ping Han securing the military certificate is well-deserved.”

Not far away, Director Gao watched this scene, his mind shaken! In this strike, he felt Ping Han’s will, his fighting spirit, and even more so, his choice!

“Ping Han isn’t unaware of the risks of crypto trading! Rather, he knows the risks, yet he’s willing to wager everything, time and again! He doesn’t seek a long life or a steady flow… he only wishes to burn everything away, either becoming a ghost or an immortal, but above all, to have a thrilling end!”

“Ping Han, you…” Director Gao sighed deeply. He didn’t believe Ping Han was on the right path to immortality, but given such a resolute choice, he no longer intended to dissuade him, understanding that his persuasion would be useless!

“I hope that after you secure this military certificate, you can go even further!”

But just then, True Monarch Tianxiang suddenly exclaimed, “It’s not over yet!” His trunk coiled, his tusks suddenly elongated, and he said with some excitement in his eyes, “Zhang Yu has also made his move! Interesting, truly interesting!” “Does this exam still have more to show?”

It wasn’t just True Monarch Tianxiang who noticed this; at this moment, the many judges and guests present had all, one after another, focused their attention on the other examination area, specifically on Zhang Yu’s location!

Feeling the faint tremors emanating from the earth, Zhang Yu knew this must be the result of activity in another examination area! Though he hadn’t witnessed it firsthand, simply by feeling the continuous tremors from the ground, Zhang Yu could imagine how fierce, terrifying, and earth-shattering that strike was!

“Did someone else think the same thing as me?” “Simply protecting the formation core to 100% integrity might not be enough to secure the military certificate!” “When multiple people protect their formation cores to 100% integrity, the military certificate’s allocation will inevitably be determined by other aspects of their performance!” “And the number of Yellow Turban warriors eliminated will clearly be an important consideration!”

While Zhang Yu’s mind rapidly processed these thoughts, he stood atop the Formless Spirit General’s head, silently accumulating power for his strongest strike yet!

In the Formless Spirit General’s dantian, numerous Prairie Fire Towers and Soul Condensing Towers simultaneously launched attacks. Bolts of lightning-fire and cold light blasted towards Zhang Yu’s Formless Cloud Aura, filling its 20 empty orifices one by one!

Under the blessing of the Martial Dao Saint Physique, the level 20 Nine Heavens Cloud Void Energy was not only perfectly unleashed but also, through the process of ‘borrowing force to strike,’ was able to rebound with even greater ferocity than the incoming force.

At this moment, the power of each bolt of lightning-fire and cold light was amplified by one layer after being transferred through the Nine Heavens Cloud Void Energy!

Meanwhile, the level 20 Treasure Appraisal Art had already been secretly activated multiple times while Zhang Yu was consuming the remains of the Yellow Turban warriors! At this moment, Zhang Yu was intimately familiar with the Yellow Turban warriors’ structure and had perceived the weaknesses of every single Yellow Turban warrior on the field! This would further enhance the power of Zhang Yu’s upcoming strike by another layer!

In the next instant, as Zhang Yu clasped his hands together, the Small Tri-Harmony abruptly activated, causing the Formless Spirit General’s back to undulate! With a furious roar, besides the Profound Yellow Mountain Suppressing Seal, Zhang Yu also pushed the Great Desolation Mountain Shifting Force to level 20 and the Earth Manipulation Divine Transformation to level 10! At this moment, the Small Tri-Harmony’s power surged to level 16, causing the Formless Spirit General’s body to suddenly expand significantly!
