"Since you chose to admit defeat, your opponent advances directly to the next round."
The Deputy Hall Master announced the result, ruling that Zheng Chiyan would advance directly to the next match.
Jiang Ping An bowed to the Deputy Hall Master, then to Guan Hong, before leaving the arena.
The remaining matches had nothing to do with him.
The Deputy Hall Master gazed at the place where Jiang Ping An had vanished, her eyes flickering as though she were pondering something.
A moment later, she sent a voice transmission to Guan Hong, the City Lord of Star Brilliance City.
"Add Jiang Ping An to the Spirit-Severing Cold Sea mission."
Guan Hong was stunned. "Hall Master, didn't you say that those carrying out this mission were body cultivator geniuses capable of passing three rounds of assessment? Why add Jiang Ping An? His strength is likely far from enough to complete the mission. He might even hold the others back."
The Deputy Hall Master offered no explanation.
She turned her gaze toward the other contestants and began presiding over the final round of the Hundred Cities Body Cultivator War.
In the real world.
Jiang Ping An opened his eyes on the small island at the center of Galaxy Lake.
He checked the balance in his Identity Token: thirty billion and nine thousand Holy Land Coins!
Seeing that string of numbers, the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.
Any ordinary person would be grinning from ear to ear upon seeing so many extra digits in their savings.
Wealth was confidence.
For the time being, he no longer needed to worry about living expenses or cultivation resources. He could cultivate in peace.
Aside from those thirty billion, he had also been rewarded with three opportunities to attend a True God's lectures free of charge.
