Su YanYang and another examinee gathered around Ping Han, asking about his insights on trading coins.
In their eyes, this senior who accumulated power and finally claid the military certificate with Qiongjiang Coin had many aspects worth learning.
Ping Han patiently answered their questions and eventually managed to pull them into a paid guidance group.
During the conversation with the two, Ping Han subtly inquired about their exam performance, confirming that they perford poorly and had no chance at the military certificate.
Then Ping Han glanced at the despondent Xiao Yun Ji, thinking to himself, "Xiao Yun Ji beca like this after asking about the formation’s integrity, most likely defeated by in this aspect."
As for Zhang Yu, who was beside him, bloodied and injured, Ping Han never considered this junior as a rival. Seeing his severe injuries now, it was even less likely he would obtain the military certificate.
Looking at the situation with the other examinees, Ping Han felt 99% confident that he would surely clinch the military certificate this ti.
Though he maintained his composure outwardly, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited inside, simply because the military certificate is so crucial for a student.
"With this military certificate, I can cultivate the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power..."
Feeling the Seven Extres of Civil Engineering he had cultivated for years within himself, Ping Han felt a sense of satisfaction at having achieved his desire.
"Not only does it open up opportunities for contesting first place in the inter-school competition, but with the Heavenly Kunlun Mountain Shifting Divine Power, my future prospects in the graduate exams and Golden Core certificate greatly increase, making it a clear path."
In that mont, Ping Han felt endless hope erge in his future Immortal Path, humming softly in his heart.
However, he quickly restrained his excitent, constantly reminding himself to stabilize his Dao Heart and avoid any slip at this crucial mont.
"Obtaining the Golden Core certificate in the future is but the beginning; my Immortal Path is still long."
Thinking this, Ping Han smiled slightly at Xiao Yun Ji and said, "Junior Sister Xiao, failing an exam is nothing serious. Would you like to learn about Qiongjiang Coin? It would greatly benefit your future cultivation."
Xiao Yun Ji lifted her head to look at Ping Han, feeling that he no longer had the extremism and arrogance he had after making money trading coins.
Ping Han was indeed in a good state of mind at the mont, especially with Xiao Yun Ji now viewed as a defeated foe rather than a rival, turning into potential Immortal Path leverage.
Seeing the trace of hesitation in Xiao Yun Ji’s eyes, Ping Han didn’t mind and continued, "Why don’t I send you a file to look over first, and if you’re interested, we can discuss it further."
After sending the file to Xiao Yun Ji, Ping Han turned to Zhang Yu, saying, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you interested in learning about this? It could greatly increase your odds in the next military certificate exam."
Seeing Zhang Yu shake his head, Ping Han didn’t mind, thinking Zhang Yu didn’t have much money anyway. He continued answering Su YanYang’s questions.
Just as Ping Han and the others were exchanging information, Zhang Yu received a ssage from his class advisor, Master Jiao Lei.
Jiao Lei: Director Lin asked to relay a ssage to you
Jiao Lei: If you’re willing to beco his apprentice, he’s willing to help you navigate the Finance Departnt and approve a 600 spirit coins loan
Seeing the 600 spirit coins, Zhang Yu felt his heart thump fiercely, almost injuring his innards again.
"600 spirit coins?!"
"With these 600 spirit coins..."
While Zhang Yu’s mind was in chaos, another teacher added him as a friend, saying: Zhang Yu, Ling Yue True Monarch wants to take you as an apprentice, are you interested?
The other continued: The terms can be negotiated, will not be lower than elsewhere
Ling Yue True Monarch is the main director of the Civil Engineering Departnt, also recognized as the Nascent Soul True Monarch called old director by Tu Lishan.
Looking at the ssages relayed by Director Lin and the old director, Zhang Yu’s spirits, stirred by the 600 spirit coins loan, began to calm down.
"It seems my performance in the military certificate exam has drawn their attention."
"Even though the Heavenly Court hasn’t announced the results, they already think I have a strong chance of winning the military certificate?"
Calming down, Zhang Yu didn’t rush to agree to anything with Director Lin or the old director, just leaving room for consideration and further discussion.
Zhang Yu casually glanced at Ping Han and the others, internally contemplating his future path.
"Director Lin is backed by the Finance Departnt, and a 600 spirit coins loan is generous, enough to make my cultivation progress leap dramatically, but..."
"The Finance Departnt isn’t the right path for , needing connections, networking, and substantial funds; it’s not a path that can be walked through only talent and skill."
"Moreover, the Finance Departnt has many ways to drain people dry, giving a 600 spirit coins loan up front... who knows how many traps await ."
Though he was reluctant to give up the 600 spirit coins loan, Zhang Yu knew he wasn’t cut out for the Finance Departnt’s path, even with a military certificate.
His mind then conjured the image of Lingyan True Monarch: "Setting aside how the Neutral Faction’s developnt path is, the old director himself is a big gamble."
Zhang Yu, having been in the Civil Engineering Departnt for quite so ti, with insights from Tu Lishan, Feng Tingting, and other well-inford people, knew so intel.
For instance, Ling Yue True Monarch is advanced in age with his lifeline ending, trying everything to extend his life these years.
"The old director has half a foot into the Spirit Realm already; if I join him... does he have the ti and resources to cultivate for future returns?"
"He probably can’t wait for the returns I might bring in the future... perhaps I’ll be drained of value right upon joining him, used to extend his life."
With a little pondering, Zhang Yu realized neither Director Lin nor the old director were good choices.
However, although Zhang Yu does not plan to choose these two paths, it does not an these paths are useless.
"Director Gao, and Magnetic Pole True Monarch, won’t take long before they co to talk to , right?"
"Keeping these two paths also helps elevate my value."
A mont later, the candidates had already been sent back to Wanfa University’s University City by Deng Bingding.
And before the candidates left, Deng Bingding sent them a website link.
"The examination results have been reported to the Heavenly Court, which will complete the approval within 15 working days and announce the results."
"This website is where the exam results will be published."
Ping Han couldn’t help but ask, "How soon at the fastest?"
Deng Bingding glanced at Ping Han, his eyes carrying a trace of pity imperceptible to the other, and said blandly, "The Heavenly Court is also busy, at least 3 to 5 working days are needed."
After a while, the crowd dispersed, and Deng Bingding took Zhang Yu to the hospital for a check-up.
Deng Bingding remarked, "Student Zhang Yu, I didn’t expect your progress in less than two and a half years at university to be greater than in three years of high school."
Next, the two engaged in small talk, and upon arriving at the hospital, Zhang Yu asked the doctor to pack him a bag of dicine, then proactively requested to be discharged.
He silently thought, "Given my recovery abilities, although my injuries are severe, a few days of rest should suffice. No need to stay in the hospital under observation. Besides, Old Gao is struggling too; better save him so money. This bag of dicine is enough."
But as Zhang Yu slowly walked down a street, he found all the shops on either side closed, and at so point, no pedestrian was in sight.
Zhang Yu looked toward the entrances of the street and noticed that pedestrians seed unable to see the road, all bypassing it consciously.
As Zhang Yu’s heart was filled with uncertainty, a figure that appeared to wear the night sky approached him.
Zhang Yu exclaid in surprise, "Senior Sister Ye?"
Ye Xingli looked strangely at Zhang Yu before silently taking out the Mystic Yin Heaven Pearl of the Magnetic Pole True Monarch.
The next mont, a poised figure donned in palace attire materialized, precisely the incarnation previously used by Magnetic Pole True Monarch to converse with Zhang Yu.
In a flash, Zhang Yu understood that the street had been taken over by the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Tower of Magnetic Pole True Monarch, suppressing all the materials intertwined with the Spirit Realm, rendering the street invisible to others’ eyes.
Zhang Yu said, "True Monarch?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch privately ssaged: How did you perform in the military certificate exam?
After conversing with True Monarch Lingyan, Magnetic Pole True Monarch realized Zhang Yu must have excelled in the military certificate exam and possibly clinched the certificate, prompting True Monarch Lingyan to inquire about the situation.
Nonetheless, Magnetic Pole True Monarch decided to personally ask, as only through Zhang Yu’s account could one get the most authentic scenario at the exam venue.
Hence, Zhang Yu ssaged, providing a brief account of the situation.
Magnetic Pole True Monarch slightly nodded and responded with satisfaction: Excellent, I thought you were rely taking the exam lightly; unexpected joy indeed.
Saying this, Magnetic Pole True Monarch touched Zhang Yu’s wound, softly sighing, "With such severe injuries, why not recuperate longer in the hospital?"
Zhang Yu replied, "I have a robust constitution; a few days of self-recovery will suffice, no need to waste money in the hospital."
"True Monarch, do you have any particular matter?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch softly said, "You’re heading back to the dormitory, right? Let’s talk as we walk."
Having said this, Magnetic Pole True Monarch reached out and cradled Zhang Yu, "With injuries this severe, don’t roam around unnecessarily; I’ll take you back."
Ye Xingli, witnessing this scene, was utterly shocked.
Just now, the conversation between Magnetic Pole True Monarch and Zhang Yu was entirely private, leaving Ye Xingli clueless about the content.
Now, seeing Magnetic Pole True Monarch carrying Zhang Yu and heading outside, Ye Xingli, struck with shock, instinctively uttered, "Master, there are people outside."
Magnetic Pole True Monarch waved his large sleeve, covering Zhang Yu, and casually replied, "It’s alright; with my concealnt, no one will notice."
Watching Magnetic Pole True Monarch cradling Zhang Yu and strolling down the street, Ye Xingli followed behind, her heart surging with waves of shock.
Reflecting on the past, she confird in her heart that this was the first ti seeing her master or his incarnation embrace soone.
"Has my master fallen into madness?"
"Such calm, such aloofness, such self-centeredness... unexpectedly carrying another’s student back to the dorm?"
Being carried in the arms of Magnetic Pole True Monarch, Zhang Yu grew increasingly tense.
Especially feeling the bustling crowd around, while knowing that under Magnetic Pole True Monarch’s concealnt, he should remain unseen, he still felt awkward.
Zhang Yu promptly said, "True Monarch, would you please straightforwardly tell what’s the matter?"
Magnetic Pole True Monarch chuckled softly, looking at Zhang Yu in his embrace, asked, "Old Gao at the exam venue carried you like this too, didn’t he?"
"What do you think of him?"
