Chapter 418: Everyone Shows Their Skills, Breakthrough in Battle

True Lord Qiyun looked toward Ping Han on the other side, the appreciation in his eyes growing deeper.

In the scene, Ping Han was far ahead in construction progress. At this moment, using his cultivation in coordination with the great formation beneath his feet, every palm strike he delivered was like an earthquake, swallowing up large numbers of Yellow Turban Warriors one after another.

"He has the most money, the deepest cultivation, and the highest efficiency in civil engineering and construction here."

True Lord Qiyun said, "Old Gao, your Civil Engineering department has trained another excellent disciple."

"After the exam, make sure to have a good talk with him. Don't let him waste his opportunity."

On the other side, Director Lin watched coldly, while Director Gao nodded helplessly to indicate he understood.

At the same time, True Lord Tianxiang on the other side looked at Zhang Yu's performance and said with some surprise, "Although this Zhang Yu's performance can't match Ping Han's, it's still commendable."

In the scene, Zhang Yu's palm seals changed continuously, using Minor Triple Unity to gather vast amounts of sand and mud, repairing the broken body of the earth giant.

This made the earth giant seem to transform into an undying, immortal monster, frantically counterattacking the Yellow Turban Warriors from all directions while repeatedly being damaged and repaired.

At the same time, surging Qi energy coursed through the earth giant's entire body, as if shaping muscles and meridians, flowing back and forth inside.

And every time the Qi energy circulated, it used Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force to absorb the explosions and shockwaves from the attacks.

This allowed the earth giant controlled by Zhang Yu to learn an extremely profound technique of borrowing force and countering, continuously reflecting surging waves of air that swept toward the Yellow Turban Warriors while being bombarded.

Moreover, a Golden Thread Jade Disk floated behind Zhang Yu's head, continuously expanding and shooting out crimson Solar Ray beams that detonated the distant Yellow Turban Warriors one by one.

In addition, Celestial Azure Sand poured endlessly from the Celestial Azure Cloud Pouch into the earth giant's body, enhancing Qi energy transmission and reducing Qi energy consumption.

The Earth Evil Bottle and Earth-Sealing Seal also activated, either releasing vast mudslides to swallow the Yellow Turban Warriors or emitting a large pressure field to freeze the approaching Yellow Turban Warriors in place, allowing the earth giant to stomp them into the ground.

At the same time, Ying Xin's great-grandfather was manipulating artifacts while also calming Zhao Tianxing and Mo Tianyi.

Ying Xin's great-grandfather: Don't be nervous. Boss Zhang is extremely powerful. As long as we follow his plan, there won't be any problems.

Zhao Tianxing: Senior, did you also graduate from Wanfa University?

Ying Xin's great-grandfather: Haha, a true hero doesn't boast of past glories.

Ying Xin's great-grandfather: Now I'm just like you—I'm a Soul Cultivator.

Ying Xin's great-grandfather: Speaking of which, I really envy you two. You've only been dead for a few years, right?

Ying Xin's great-grandfather: The first five years after death are the most critical. What job you take and what résumé you build during those five years will determine your future income.

On the other side, Zhang Yu's mind was racing, precisely controlling every ounce of power he exerted, feeling these forces gradually integrate and harmonize under his push, erupting in waves of ever-increasing might.

"The Martial Dao Sacred Body can enhance both Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force and Minor Triple Unity."

"It lets me unleash Martial Dao micro-level control, boosting the power of martial arts, as well as parrying, borrowing force, evading, destruction, range, strike speed, attack frequency, and force penetration effects..."

"And when I simultaneously apply Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force and Minor Triple Unity to this earth giant, the effects amplify each other..."

At this moment, Zhang Yu could feel that the Qi energy of his Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force, flowing through the earth giant's entire body, was unleashing incredibly astonishing parrying and force-borrowing capabilities.

Under the enhancement of the Martial Dao Sacred Body, while the earth giant was driven by Minor Triple Unity power, it also continuously stacked with the borrowed force from Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force.

This made the earth giant display divine might, growing stronger as the battle continued.

With a loud boom, the earth giant took a step. The weight of a small mountain, combined with the push of Minor Triple Unity and the rebound force borrowed by Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force... With a single step, the ground shattered and split, sending large numbers of Yellow Turban Warriors tumbling.

And at this moment, Zhang Yu had not yet pushed Minor Triple Unity to its limit, after all, he had nominally cultivated the third ultimate technique of civil engineering, the Earth Dominion Divine Transformation, for less than two months.

True Lord Qiyun looked at Zhang Yu's performance, his gaze flickering slightly: "This Zhang Yu's Minor Triple Unity control range isn't large, but it produces extremely strong killing power."

True Lord Tianxiang commented, "That Nine Heavens Cloud-Empty Force was also used with supreme skill. Whether borrowing force or unleashing power, every bit of Qi energy and every ounce of force was perfectly coordinated with Minor Triple Unity."

"Using the small to overcome the large, every bit of force unleashes maximum killing effect... This is a martial prodigy."

However, a martial prodigy only earned True Lord Tianxiang a moment's attention.

After all, this was not an era for martial prodigies. Comparatively, True Lord Tianxiang was more interested in construction prodigies, crypto-trading prodigies, or geniuses with such immense wealth that they could be called Innate Dao Bodies.

True Lord Qiyun nodded slightly at this, and in his mind, his evaluation of Zhang Yu was 'promising for the future.'

But compared to Zhang Yu's displayed martial talent, what he cared about was something else.

When True Lord Qiyun checked Zhang Yu's information using his vice-chancellor privileges, he discovered a piece of intelligence that had been hidden by someone.

"This Zhang Yu, using the authority brought by passing the high school Foundation Establishment exam, designated Magnetic Pole True Lord as his own guiding teacher."

Thinking of this, Qiyun True Lord couldn't help but glance at Director Gao, who was watching Zhang Yu's performance with rapt attention.

He muttered inwardly: "Does Old Gao know that this nominal disciple of his has designated someone else as his teacher?"

Qiyun True Lord couldn't be sure, because if this Zhang Yu had any brains at all, even if he had the authority to designate a guiding teacher, he would definitely have to communicate with Magnetic Pole True Lord first and obtain the latter's consent before designating him.

"Zhang Yu is a Civil Engineering student—how did he get in touch with Magnetic Pole?"

"But Old Gao and Magnetic Pole have a friendship spanning centuries..."

"This Zhang Yu is also a martial arts prodigy, quite suitable for taking to artifact refining..."

In his mind, a scene seemed to emerge of Old Gao, back in the day, leading Zhang Yu to meet Magnetic Pole True Lord before sending this disciple of his into the other's office.

Qiyun True Lord sent a message: Old Gao, you've trained your disciple well.

Director Gao: All thanks to the school leadership for creating a good environment. Qiyun True Lord: Old Gao, you're becoming more and more magnanimous.

Qiyun True Lord: As for disciples, what goes comes around—don't take it too much to heart.

Director Gao read the message from Qiyun True Lord and was momentarily stunned, not immediately understanding his meaning.

But the next moment, he reacted: "He's talking about Ping Han, right?"

"He wants me to talk with Ping Han—best to persuade him back, but if I can't, don't be too attached?"

Director Gao's face showed a trace of helplessness. The more he watched Ping Han's dominant performance on the field, the more he felt a sense of pity.

Meanwhile, the offensive on the field had already changed again.

Yellow-Turbaned Divine Soldiers with wings sprouting from their backs shot into the sky, launching an attack from the air.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's heart jumped: "Did they spend this much money on the exam?"

The other examinees also stiffened their expressions, bracing themselves.

Just then, Su Yanyang, seeing the messages continuously blinking in his eye socket, finally couldn't resist opening them to take a look.

"The Jade Nectar Coin has risen to 15?!"

Seeing this, Su Yanyang was overjoyed and laughed heartily: "Perfect timing!"

He immediately allocated more computing pool resources to the soul cultivators under his command, further enhancing the power of the tomb and the grand formation.

Defensive structures rose from the ground one after another, and under the operation of the soul cultivators, they met the Yellow-Turbaned Divine Soldiers flying down from all directions.

On the other side, Xiao Yunji said calmly: "It's your turn to go up."

"Do a good job in this battle, and you won't be treated unfairly."

She replaced the soul cultivators on all six of her treasures with a new batch.

This batch of soul cultivators came from her family's ancestor's construction company. Not only were they experienced in construction work, but they also had various talents.

Some were reaching the end of their lives and urgently needed to extend their lifespan, some had been frozen in thought for years and rarely got work opportunities, and some had no descendants to support them and had to rely on their own efforts.

"Each one has a reason to fight desperately, each one has vigorous fighting spirit, each one is racing against death..."

These were the ones Xiao Yunji had specially selected to push her combat power further in today's military certificate exam.

On the other side, as the number on Ping Han's chest increased by each point, his momentum seemed to grow with it.

Not only his own momentum, but even his treasures, his Dharma Skeletons, and the formation under his feet all seemed to become more ferocious as the price of the Jade Nectar Coin on his chest rose.

This was because, besides Ping Han himself, all the soul cultivators under his command had also purchased Jade Nectar Coins under his guidance.

Now, with the coin price rising continuously, these soul cultivators also surged forward, not only improving their computing pool resources but also becoming as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their fighting spirit reaching the heavens.

Meanwhile, the networked services of treasures and Dharma Skeletons were all upgraded by Ping Han on the spot, from regular membership to gold membership, bursting forth with even greater power.

As for Ping Han himself, he felt his Dao Heart becoming more and more perfectly smooth and flawless.

"For the past two years, I have endured humiliation and borne everything, all for the day when this Coin Dao would reach great completion."

"Today, finally, it is my turn, Ping Han, to soar to the heavens!"

With a single palm strike, the earth and sand covering the sky transformed into a giant hand. Empowered by dharma corpses and dharma treasures, its strength surged wildly. Finally, it shot up into the sky, and with one move, it grabbed all the Yellow Turban Warriors in its palm.

Boom!

……

Zhang Yu's figure had already sunk into the body of the earth giant.

And as the earth giant stepped forward step by step, large amounts of Yellow Turban Warrior remains were swept into its body and sent before Zhang Yu.

Then Zhang Yu's body suddenly expanded. After enlarging his own size, he swallowed these remains into his stomach and began to digest them.

Although he currently had the Martial Dao Saint Body and the Great Learning Saint Body with only a 10% retained effect, his own formidable foundation, combined with the Earth-Eating Divine Art empowered by the Martial Dao Saint Body, gave him extraordinarily powerful digestive abilities.

Furthermore, the Taiyi Golden Liquid Pill had gathered in his digestive system, like a layer of armor coating his stomach and intestines, further enhancing his ability to break down and wear away food.

Added to that were the cold and hot changes from the Deep Cold and Blazing Sun dharma veins, and the power enhancements from techniques like the Endless Spring-Autumn Zen and the Battle Demon Lifespan Art...

At this moment, Zhang Yu's stomach and intestines were like a giant furnace, continuously refining the Yellow Turban Warrior remains into various high-strength materials.

……

Perching Cloud True Lord's gaze swept over each examinee, and he remarked with emotion: "Well done, well done. Each displays their own divine powers, each has their own unique skills. Every single one of them can make another breakthrough in battle. Truly worthy of being the prodigies of my Ten Thousand Dharmas."
