Chapter 421: Military Certificate Exam Begins

Inside a luxurious bedroom.

Zhang Yu's hands moved with such speed that they created a series of afterimages, like a swift wind and sudden thunder, as they swept over Le Mulan's body.

Le Mulan felt a peculiar magical energy injected into several of her meridians, temporarily severing her connection with the Dharma Bones.

In addition, Zhang Yu occasionally channeled streaks of Flaming Sun magic power for cultivation.

This was Zhang Yu practicing the Thirty-Six Paths of Primordial Magnetism Meridian Severing Hand while simultaneously cultivating magic power with Le Mulan.

Not to mention the benefits Le Mulan gained, even Zhang Yu, who had already elevated his magic power to the peak of Foundation Establishment, could still use the collision between Flaming Sun magic power and Deep Chill magic power to further refine its resilience and quality, as well as enhance the level of Le Mulan's Dao Seed.

Just then, the dormitory door opened, and Zhang Pianpian walked in.

"Senior!"

Zhang Yu turned his head and saw Zhang Pianpian's rank as 32nd in the Talisman Department, thinking, "My sister's ranking is truly steadily improving!"

Zhang Pianpian smiled slightly at Zhang Yu and said, "I'll be busy out for a while, so remember to contact me if anything comes up!"

At the same time, Zhang Pianpian's gaze swept over Zhang Yu poking Le Mulan, who occasionally frowned, furrowed her brow, and squirmed.

She messaged: Zhang Yu, I've been observing you and Le Mulan for a long time!Zhang Pianpian: Do you want to dual cultivate with her?Zhang Yu: Senior, what nonsense are you talking about? We're properly cultivating!Zhang Pianpian: Really?Zhang Pianpian: But both you and she have searched for many Q&A articles on how to dual cultivate with someone!Zhang Pianpian: Hmm, the search frequency has been increasing over the past few months!Zhang Yu: Just searching, is there a problem with learning new things?Zhang Pianpian: How about the question of how someone whose first sex was male can dual cultivate after surgery?Zhang Yu: Curiosity, I'm just incredibly curious.Zhang Yu: Search content doesn't represent what I want to do.Zhang Yu: Otherwise, go look at Yu Xinghan's records; they're definitely far more exaggerated than anything he plans to do.Zhang Yu: Also... I told you, can't you just pretend you don't see our records?Zhang Pianpian: Yu Xinghan? I haven't looked closely in a long time; it's all too strange!Zhang Yu: Send them to me!

Inside the dormitory!

Zhang Yu formed a Daoist hand seal, and the magic power within his body condensed into a surge of true qi.

The next moment, as he pointed at the Earth Fiend Vase before him, true qi surged out, instantly scanning the vase from top to bottom.

Immediately, various data and parameters regarding the Earth Fiend Vase appeared before his eyes.

Looking at the displayed parameters, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This Treasure Appraisal Art is truly powerful; it seems to incorporate some talismans and artifact refining techniques!"

"Once cast, it can communicate with the spirit world and retrieve the latest artifact data. Even without a spirit world network, it can summarize information based on the data stored in the eye bones!"

"It can also be used in conjunction with the Primordial Magnetism Meridian Severing Hand!"

Zhang Yu knew that his Primordial Magnetism Meridian Severing Hand required knowledge of the target's Dharma Bone meridian interfaces to accurately seal them.

However, memorizing the meridian interfaces of various Dharma Bones beforehand in daily life would clearly be time-consuming, laborious, and ultimately unprofitable.

Therefore, scanning with the Treasure Appraisal Art before using the Primordial Magnetism Meridian Severing Hand became the most convenient method.

While Zhang Yu diligently practiced the Treasure Appraisal Art repeatedly, Bai Zhenzhen could be seen cultivating swordsmanship in the communication window beside him.

The two didn't communicate or speak, simply focusing on their individual cultivation and studies, seemingly accustomed to this state.

Yet, whenever Bai Zhenzhen took a moment during her practice to glance at Zhang Yu, she felt as if he was by her side, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Just then, Wen Wuya's voice came from outside the door: "Zhenzhen. It's time, we should leave."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at Zhang Yu in the communication window and said, "Yuzi, I'm leaving!"

Zhang Yu nodded: "Okay!"

At that moment, Le Mulan's voice also came from beside him: "Zhang Yu, open your mouth, my new medicine is coming in!"

Zhang Yu opened his mouth and said, "A'Zhen, then I'll see you tomorrow night!"

Bai Zhenzhen smiled slightly and said, "Good luck with the military certificate exam!"

Zhang Yu: "Don't worry, I'll definitely ace it."

The next moment, as the communication disconnected, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen each continued with their own lives.

In recent days, Su Yanyang had been continuously gathering all kinds of information on Ping Han.

After all, in his opinion, Ping Han had become the biggest obstacle in the upcoming military certificate exam, the greatest threat to Su Yanyang's ambition of acquiring the certificate.

"This guy, not only does he trade cryptocurrency himself, but now he's also pulling a group of people into it?"

"Heh, a paid group for crypto trading tips?"

"This guy is doomed!"

Su Yanyang simply didn't believe that Ping Han, a civil engineering worker, could possess any real cryptocurrency trading skills. Even top students in finance, or peerless talents who mastered Luck Dao Arts, might not fully grasp such things!

In his view, Ping Han had simply gotten incredibly lucky and made a windfall.

"At this point, the best choice would be to retreat while ahead, take those 400-plus spirit coins, and never trade crypto again!"

If it were Su Yanyang, he would have chosen that path.

But Su Yanyang also understood that not everyone possessed his level of decisiveness and courage.

"Ping Han is trading Nectar Coins, and he's using 10x or even 20x leverage!"

Su Yanyang had specifically spent time researching the Nectar Coin market over the past few years, realizing that its price movements were erratic and unpredictable. Both its gains and losses were terrifying, often showing massive changes in short periods, and every year it led countless people to bankruptcy.

"Given Ping Han's skill level, he won't last long!"

"There's a very high probability he'll be liquidated before the military certificate exam even begins!"

After making this judgment, Su Yanyang chose to mortgage his Dharma Bones to further enhance his competitiveness in the military certificate exam.

However, as the military certificate exam drew nearer, Su Yanyang was astonished to find that Ping Han hadn't lost money at all. Instead, as the Nectar Coin soared, he was making even more profits!

"How is that possible?"

Observing the daily profit figures Ping Han posted, Su Yanyang cycled through shock, then anger, then regret, ultimately left with only helplessness.

Seeing Ping Han earn so much money was more unbearable than being killed himself.

Even the last time Su Yanyang lost to Zhang Yu, he hadn't felt this much pain.

Unconsciously... Ping Han had become the person Su Yanyang disliked the most.

Inside the medical room!

Xiao Yunji was surrounded by hanging medicine bottles, with large amounts of medicine being injected into her body, sustaining her Dharma Bone synchronization rate.

"Just a few more days!"

"The military certificate exam will be over soon!"

Xiao Yunji came from the 8th floor. She was a descendant of a leader in a construction company, possessing the bloodline passed down from that individual.

The primary purpose for which she and her siblings were raised was to extend that leader's life.

For many wealthy individuals on Levels 7 to 10 of Kunxu, wasting funds on raising descendants during the peak of their immortal path was completely unnecessary.

However, when their potential was gradually exhausted and further ascent became difficult, it was time to procreate and cultivate successors.

Especially as life spans dwindled and the cost of maintaining themselves continuously rose, more descendants were needed to earn money, provide sustenance, and even offer bloodline-related physical bodies.

Xiao Yunji had seen wealthy people who eventually fell into the spirit world, seen them drain every drop of blood from their descendants, ultimately dragging their entire families to ruin.

Fortunately, her family's ancestor had not yet reached that point.
