Chapter 419: Divine Lord's Wedding

The True Lord of Celestial Phenomena, listening to the True Lord of Qiyun's words, nodded and said, "True Lord Qiyun, your Civil Engineering department at Wanfa University truly has an abundance of talented people, each with their own expertise."

"It seems that besides this year's cohort, the next one will also produce someone capable of obtaining a Military Certificate."

The True Lord of Qiyun gave a faint smile and said, "It can't compare to your Civil Engineering department at Tianyao University—you've taken first place in the inter-university civil engineering competitions for the last few years."

Hearing this, the True Lord of Celestial Phenomena laughed heartily and said, "This year's competition might not be so certain."

The True Lord of Celestial Phenomena pointed at Ping Han and said, "This senior student is on the same team as Mo Shangjin, isn't he?"

"He has accumulated experience for many years; if he obtains the Military Certificate this time, he will likely immediately master the Divine Strength of Moving Mountains from Tian Kunlun."

"By then, your Civil Engineering department will have both Mo Shangjin and him—two people who have mastered military-grade martial arts—forming a team to compete."

The True Lord of Qiyun heard this and smiled without speaking; in his view, it was indeed the best outcome for Ping Han to take the Military Certificate.

"Xiao Yunji is very excellent, but he can afford to settle for another two years."

"As for Zhang Yu, he will be sent to the Magnetic Pole of the Artifact Refining Department later anyway."

"If Ping Han takes the Military Certificate, it will perfectly converge with Mo Shangjin to jointly challenge the inter-university civil engineering competition and see if there's a chance to take first place."

Compared to individual achievements, True Lord Qiyun clearly considered more the overall performance of the Civil Engineering department.

The Civil Engineering department of Wanfa University has not won the inter-university civil engineering championship for several years.

If they could win this year, that would also be a good thing for him, the vice president in charge of teaching.

At the same time, on the other side, Dean Gao was also carefully observing the performance of each student on the field.

However, just then, Dean Lin came to his side unnoticed, gave a light laugh, and said, "This Zhang Yu’s Small Three Harmonies is executed fairly well, and his construction ability is also strong; he has truly used every bit of his strength to its best advantage."

"But in the end, he is no match for Ping Han in coin speculation."

Dean Lin looked at Dean Gao and said calmly, "Seeing that the War Faction students ultimately rely on coin speculation to achieve breakthroughs and shine brilliantly on the path of coins, Old Gao, don’t you have any thoughts about it?"

Dean Gao said coldly, "Even if Ping Han takes the Military Certificate today, it will be the eruption of years of accumulation; the growth of Nectar Coins is nothing more than a catalyst."

Dean Lin shook his head and sighed, "Old Gao, the Finance Department has money, we have people. Following them to take money and land, doing real estate and finance—it's clearly a great path of immortal cultivation where everyone benefits. I just don't understand what you War Faction people are stubbornly opposing?"

Dean Gao: "I also don't understand. Those Finance Department guys who would even skin a passing dog—how can you trust them so much? The war has already reached the Thirty-six Upper Colonels; how can some people still close their eyes and pretend not to see it?"

Dean Lin sighed, "Gao Chongguang, you've become obsessed with moving bricks."

Meanwhile, while the judges and guests on the flying boat were watching the exam and talking among themselves...

The offensive on the examination field grew increasingly fierce. Yellow Turban Warriors of various forms appeared in turn, and the weapons they used and the power they exerted became stronger and stronger.

Qi-energy swept wildly, thunder and fire raged, shaking the earth and turning the plains into scorched ground.

It was precisely as the battle grew more intense that the state of the examinees gradually changed.

As the exam progressed, the underground tomb complex constructed by Su Yanyang became increasingly intricate and complete. The maze-like underground palace voraciously devoured the incoming Yellow Turban Warriors, while an endless array of traps continuously annihilated wave after wave of enemies.

But just then, looking at the constant stream of message notifications refreshing in his eye display, Su Yanyang finally couldn't help but want to take a look.

Especially recalling the information about the increase in Nectar Coins earlier.

"What if the Nectar Coin has risen again?"

Ever since buying Nectar Coins, Su Yanyang would always check the coin price every now and then, then refresh the related news about Nectar Coins and the inside gossip in various groups...

Sometimes he wouldn't even do anything else—just watch the changes in the Nectar Coin price, trading volume, and other data—and he could watch for a long time.

And now, the moment he opened the message notification, Su Yanyang's heart gave a jolt.

"Nectar Lord publicly reveals a Dao partner!"

"Nectar Lord is about to marry!"

"According to rumors, after the Nectar Lord's wedding, he will no longer engage in dual cultivation with anyone other than his Dao partner..."

Looking at these circulating messages, Su Yanyang's mind was greatly shaken; even the circulation of his mana slowed by a beat, causing part of the underground tomb to be captured by the Yellow Turban Warriors.

But even so, he only put up a token resistance and continued to focus more of his attention on the Nectar Coin side.

Because Su Yanyang clearly realized one thing: "If Nectar Lord no longer practices dual cultivation with outsiders, wouldn't that mean he's even less likely to draw for dual cultivation via lottery?"

"The Jade Nectar Coin is going to fall!"

"It's going to plummet!"

Thinking of this, Su Yanyang hastily logged into the platform and began to manipulate his account to sell Jade Nectar Coins.

"Damn it, why did the Jade Nectar Divine Lord stop dual cultivating with outsiders after her grand wedding?"

"What era is this? Must she still follow ancient customs?"

"Is this still a divine lord who has transcended the mundane?"

"And who is her Dao companion? Just standing by and watching the Jade Nectar Divine Lord ruin her own foundation? Doesn't he persuade her to continue dual cultivating with outsiders?"

Thinking that the Jade Nectar Coin was about to plummet, Su Yanyang inwardly cursed the Jade Nectar Divine Lord, feeling that this divine lord was too antiquated, too backward, and had too little drive.

"'Having a Dao companion means no more dual cultivation with outsiders? Abandoning the Jade Nectar Coin she has managed for so long? Isn't this self-destruction of her immortal path foundation? The Jade Nectar Divine Lord simply has too little self-respect!' And because he had focused most of his attention here, he suffered repeated defeats on the examination field, and several more underground tomb palaces were captured in the blink of an eye."

On the other side, on the examination field belonging to Xiao Yunji.

Her form continued to flicker at high speed, her three-headed, six-armed body like an impregnable fortress, crushing every Yellow Turban Warrior that attacked into powder.

Dense piles of wreckage accumulated at her feet, like mountains of garbage, surrounding the location of the formation eye.

With a hiss, another potion was injected into Xiao Yunji's neck, alleviating the continuously declining synchronization rate.

But at this moment, Xiao Yunji no longer cared about these things. Her eyes now held only battle, repeating her techniques move after move, killing every Yellow Turban Warrior before her in the fastest, fiercest, and most violent manner.

As for the Jade Nectar Coin?

She was no longer paying any attention to it.

In fact, after the exam started, she directly shut down all social media apps, just to focus wholeheartedly, unleash her combat power fully, and perfectly demonstrate her strength on the examination field.

At the same time, the judges and guests on the flying boat also detected the anomaly on the examination field.

"Have some rumors about the Jade Nectar Coin been leaked?"

Within the human-shaped cloud of Qiyun True Lord's speech, lightning flashed repeatedly, bringing a series of muffled thunderclaps: "This is indeed a test of the mentality of students holding the coin."

But Tianxiang True Lord beside him said dismissively, "What is this?"

"Back when immortal path technology was not yet developed, it wasn't uncommon for the network to cut out mid-exam, for earthquakes to happen, or for spiritual energy to go out of control."

"Without a dauntless Dao heart, how can one climb the path of immortality?"

In Tianxiang True Lord's view, a change in currency was like the shifting of the sun and stars or the surging of spiritual energy—it was a type of environmental change. If one couldn't even endure such a small thing, what was the point of taking the military certification exam?

Qiyun True Lord nodded and said indifferently, "Now that immortal path technology is more and more advanced, the mentality of students is not as good as before."

"In our day, we might be fighting on the front lines while our company back home had already gone bankrupt. What is such a small matter compared to that?"

Tianxiang True Lord looked at Su Yanyang's flustered appearance and shook his head: "That's not how you speculate on coins. In the old days, if someone speculated like him, they would have crashed long ago."

Then Tianxiang True Lord turned his gaze to Ping Han, his eyes shifting: "Oh?"

"Don't panic, it's all fake news."

"The change in coin price is just a technical adjustment. Everyone, don't be nervous."

Facing the constantly refreshing messages in the paid group, Ping Han's expression was calm. With changes in his hand seals, he continued to manipulate the power of Xiao Sanhe and the grand formation to fight.

His magical power and pure yang energy operated as steadily as a machine. Not only was there no trace of panic, but he could even comfort the group members while continuing to display his divine might on the examination field.

Boom!

With a palm strike from him, the rock layers exploded like an enraged dragon's roar, blasting the Yellow Turban Warriors into sky-filling wreckage that fell to the ground like rain.

But although Ping Han remained calm and composed, the soul cultivators under him became nervous one after another, causing the battle line to fall into chaos.

Facing this situation, Ping Han directly sent a screenshot.

Ping Han: "This is the Jade Nectar Coin I just bought."

Ping Han: Trust me, based on my two years of experience trading coins, this is all false news. The coin price is just fluctuating normally.

Ping Han: Hold on, don't panic.

Feeling Ping Han's calmness that radiated from within, and seeing the orders he had disclosed, the soul cultivators who had been somewhat flustered just moments ago gradually calmed down.

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

However, his extensive experience in coin trading made him understand all the more that at times like this, one must not panic; one must hold on.

And he sincerely believed that his judgment was correct.

"The Jade Dew Coin will definitely continue to rise."

"What I need to do... is to hold on!"

At this moment, the Yellow Turban warriors surging before him like a tide seemed to transform in Ping Han's eyes into wave after wave of fluctuating coin values.

He hacked his way through thorns and brambles, determined to maintain an unyielding Dao heart amidst this ups and downs of the market, indomitable, preferring death over surrender.

Boom!

Ping Han struck out with another palm, sending large swaths of Yellow Turban warriors flying.

14.99

14.98

14.99

14.97

Just as Ping Han was resisting the endless onslaught of the Yellow Turban warriors, the fluctuations of the Jade Dew Coin continued, stirring the hearts and minds of the many soul cultivators.

And Ping Han remained like a silent machine, continuously circulating his energy and striking out with his palms.

At this moment, he was like a proud and rugged reef, standing silently at the forefront of the waves, smashing one after another howling surge.

And just as the attacks of the Yellow Turban warriors grew fiercer, and the soul cultivators became more anxious, more unable to remain as calm as Ping Han, the Divine Lord of Jade Dew finally issued an announcement.

In another examination hall, Su Yanyang excitedly clicked on it, thinking: "Is it an announcement that there will be no grand wedding?"

Then he quickly discovered that it was not.

The Divine Lord of Jade Dew announced that in the future, no matter how many grand weddings there are, he will not stop developing his career, will not stop dual cultivation with outsiders, and will certainly not stop the lottery dual cultivation, and will forever continue to develop in the dual cultivation career he loves.

At the same time, it was also announced that the first lottery ceremony would begin next week, with 1000 slots.
