Chapter 428: Each Displays Their Skill, Breaking Through in Battle (Please Vote for the Month)
Xi Yun Zhenjun turned his gaze toward Ping Han, his eyes filled with growing admiration.
In the scene before him, Ping Han’s construction progress was far ahead of all others. With his cultivation level and the power of the great array beneath his feet, each palm strike he delivered shook the very ground, swallowing dozens of Huangjin Warriors in a single motion.
“Highest funding, deepest cultivation, and the most efficient construction performance in the arena,” Xi Yun Zhenjun remarked. “Lao Gao, your Civil Engineering Department has once again produced an outstanding disciple.”
“After the exam, make sure to have a proper talk with him. Don’t let such an opportunity go to waste.”
Beside him, Lin Director watched coldly, while Director Gao merely nodded, acknowledging the words with a sigh.
Meanwhile, Tian Xiang Zhenjun observed Zhang Yu’s performance with mild surprise. “Though Zhang Yu doesn’t match Ping Han’s dominance, his results are still commendable.”
On screen, Zhang Yu’s palm seals shifted constantly, using Xiao Sanhe to gather vast clouds of mud and sand, sealing up the shattered form of the Earth Giant.
This turned the Earth Giant into a monstrous, seemingly immortal beast—endlessly repairing itself, enduring blow after blow, and launching ferocious counterattacks against the encroaching Huangjin Warriors from all directions.
Through the Giant’s body, the surging Gang Qi surged like veins and tendons, flowing in and out, constantly reshaping its inner structure.
Every time the Gang Qi passed through, it absorbed the explosive shockwaves and tremors via Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin—transforming the Earth Giant into a master of using the enemy’s force against them.
As the Huangjin Warriors struck, the Giant reflexively unleashed waves of overwhelming force, sweeping across the battlefield and sending warriors sprawling.
Meanwhile, the Golden Thread Jade Disc hovered behind Zhang Yu’s head, pulsing with crimson solar rays that erupted in ever-expanding beams, detonating distant Huangjin Warriors one by one.
Tianqing Sand poured endlessly from the Tianqing Caiyun Dou, flooding into the Earth Giant’s body, enhancing Gang Qi conduction while drastically reducing its consumption.
Di Shasha Bottle and Zhendi Yin activated in tandem—either unleashing torrents of mud and rock that swallowed Huangjin Warriors whole, or releasing vast fields of force that froze incoming enemies in place, allowing the Earth Giant to stomp them into the ground.
At the same time, Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather, still manipulating his Spirit Artifact, calmly reassured Zhao Tianxing and Mo Tianyi.
Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather: Don’t panic. Zhang Boss’s strength is overwhelming. As long as we follow his plan, there’s nothing to fear.
Zhao Tianxing: Sir, are you also a graduate of Wanfa University?
Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather: Haha, no need to boast about old glories.
Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather: Now, I’m just like you—another Soul Cultivator.
Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather: Honestly, I envy you. You’ve only been dead for a few years, right?
Ying Xin’s Great-Grandfather: The first five years after death are crucial. What jobs you take, what resume you build—those determine your future income.
On the battlefield, Zhang Yu’s mind raced at lightning speed, precisely controlling every ounce of power he unleashed, feeling them merge and harmonize, each wave of force growing stronger than the last.
“Martial Dao Holy Body enhances Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin, and strengthens Xiao Sanhe.”
“It amplifies my Martial Dao Subtlety—boosting control, combat power, parrying, counterforce, evasion, destruction, area of effect, speed, attack frequency, and penetration.”
“And when Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin and Xiao Sanhe are combined on the Earth Giant… the synergy multiplies their power.”
In that moment, Zhang Yu felt his entire Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin Gang Qi flow through the Earth Giant’s body, unlocking an extraordinary ability to parry and rebound attacks.
With the Martial Dao Holy Body’s blessing, the Earth Giant pushed forward with Xiao Sanhe’s force, while simultaneously adding the rebounded power from Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin—each blow growing stronger with every clash.
The Earth Giant roared to life, fighting stronger with every passing second.
With a thunderous boom, the Giant took a single step forward—its mountain-like weight amplified by Xiao Sanhe’s propulsion, further boosted by the rebound force from Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin.
One strike.
The ground shattered into pieces. Huangjin Warriors were thrown into disarray, scattered and broken.
Yet Zhang Yu hadn’t yet pushed Xiao Sanhe to its absolute limit. After all, he had only been cultivating Civil Engineering’s Third Supreme technique, Yutu Shengbian, for less than two months.
…
Xi Yun Zhenjun watched Zhang Yu’s performance, his gaze flickering. “Zhang Yu’s Xiao Sanhe control range is limited, but its destructive power is astonishing.”
Tian Xiang Zhenjun nodded. “His Jiuxiao Yun Kongjin is used with perfect precision—every bit of Gang Qi, every fraction of force, perfectly synchronized with Xiao Sanhe.”
“Using little to overcome much. Maximizing every ounce of power… this is a true martial genius.”
Yet even a martial genius only drew a passing interest from Tian Xiang Zhenjun.
This was not an era of martial brilliance. He cared more about construction prodigies, crypto trading geniuses, or those so wealthy they could be considered innate Dao bodies.
Xi Yun Zhenjun gave a slight nod. Zhang Yu’s future was promising.
But what truly stirred his curiosity wasn’t Zhang Yu’s martial talent.
While reviewing Zhang Yu’s file using his deputy headmaster privileges, he uncovered a hidden piece of information.
“This Zhang Yu used the High School Foundation Establishment Exam’s authority to designate Ciji Zhenjun as his mentor.”
Xi Yun Zhenjun’s eyes flicked toward Director Gao, who was still intently watching Zhang Yu’s performance.
Does Lao Gao even know his named disciple’s mentor is someone else?
He couldn’t be sure. After all, if Zhang Yu had any sense, he would’ve first approached Ciji Zhenjun, obtained the Magnetic Pole’s approval, before officially naming him as mentor.
“How did a Civil Engineering Department student even get close to Ciji Zhenjun?”
“Then again… Lao Gao and the Magnetic Pole have known each other for hundreds of years…”
“And Zhang Yu is a martial prodigy—perfect for alchemy experiments…”
A faint image formed in his mind: Lao Gao leading Zhang Yu to meet Ciji Zhenjun, guiding him into the elder’s office like a proud master introducing his disciple.
Xi Yun Zhenjun sent a message:
Lao Gao, your student is doing well.
Director Gao replied:
It’s the school leadership who created the right environment.
Xi Yun Zhenjun:
Lao Gao, you’re growing more generous these days.
Students come and go—old ones leave, new ones arrive. Don’t take it too hard.
Director Gao stared at the message, momentarily stunned. His first instinct was confusion.
But then it clicked.
Ah… he’s talking about Ping Han.
He wants me to talk to him—try to convince him to return, but if he refuses, let it go.
A wistful sigh escaped Director Gao’s lips. The more he watched Ping Han dominate the battlefield, the more he felt regret.
…
Meanwhile, the battlefield dynamics shifted once more.
Dozens of Huangjin Warriors with wing-like appendages burst into the sky, launching aerial assaults.
Zhang Yu’s expression tightened. “Is this exam really worth this much?”
The other candidates stiffened, their expressions turning grim as they prepared for the new threat.
At that moment, Su Yanyang, watching the frantic alerts in his Eye Armor, finally couldn’t hold back. He tapped the screen.
“Qiongjiang Coin reached 15?!”
Su Yanyang burst into laughter. “Perfect timing!”
He immediately redirected more Calculation Pool resources to his Soul Cultivators, further amplifying the tomb and array’s power.
From the earth, fortifications rose in succession, and under the Soul Cultivators’ control, they surged forward to meet the storm of descending Huangjin Warriors.
…
On another front, Xiao Yunji spoke calmly:
“Now it’s your turn.”
“Do this well, and you won’t be left behind.”
Six Spirit Artifacts on her six arms were replaced—one by one—with new Soul Cultivators.
These weren’t ordinary disciples. They came from the family patriarch’s construction firm—seasoned veterans with unique talents.
Some were nearing the end of their lives and desperate for longevity. Others had frozen minds due to years of relentless work, their only chance now. Some had no descendants to support them—entirely reliant on their own strength.
“Every one of them has a reason to fight. Every one of them burns with determination. Every one is racing against death.”
Xiao Yunji had handpicked them—specifically for this Military License Exam, to push her own combat power to new heights.
…
On the battlefield, Ping Han’s chest display flickered with each rising number—his aura intensifying with every increment.
Not just his own presence, but his Spirit Artifact, Spirit Armor, and the array beneath his feet—all seemed to grow more ferocious with each spike in Qiongjiang Coin’s price.
Because Ping Han wasn’t the only one buying.
His entire team of Soul Cultivators had followed his lead, purchasing Qiongjiang Coin in unison.
With every price surge, their morale soared—like drinking blood from a rooster, their fighting spirit reached the sky.
Their Spirit Artifact and Spirit Armor networks were instantly upgraded—ordinary membership to gold tier—unleashing unprecedented power.
And Ping Han himself felt his Dao Heart becoming rounder, purer, flawless.
“For two years, I endured humiliation. I endured every insult, every blow. All for this moment—perfection in Coin Dao.”
“Today… it’s my turn to soar.”
One palm strike.
Mud and sand exploded into a colossal hand, amplified by Spirit Armor and Artifact, surging into the heavens.
With a single motion, it crushed the entire swarm of Huangjin Warriors into a single, lifeless mass.
Boom!
…
Zhang Yu’s form had already sunk deep into the Earth Giant’s core.
As the Giant advanced, it dragged countless Huangjin Warrior fragments into its body, hurling them toward Zhang Yu.
Then, Zhang Yu’s body surged upward, expanding in size, and he devoured the debris whole—beginning the digestion process.
Though he wore the Martial Dao Holy Body, the University Holy Body’s effect was only 10% retained. But his innate foundation, combined with the Martial Dao Holy Body’s Shi Tu Shen Gong, gave him an extraordinary digestive capacity.
Even more, the Taiyi Jin Ye Dan gathered in his digestive system, acting like a first-layer armor for his stomach—enhancing his ability to crush and break down matter.
Added to that were the alternating cold and heat of the Shenhan and Yanyang law paths, and the auxiliary power of techniques like Chunqiu Wujin Chan and Zhanmo Yunshou Gong.
At that moment, Zhang Yu’s digestive system was a furnace—a roaring, endless furnace, refining the Huangjin Warrior fragments into high-strength materials.
…
Xi Yun Zhenjun scanned the battlefield, his gaze sweeping over each candidate.
“Excellent… truly excellent. Each displays their unique skill. Each has their own mastery. One by one, they break through in battle. No wonder they’re all the elite of Wanfa.”
