[Your poison effect dealt 9 damage to Cao Zhang.]

[Cao Zhang is dead.]

After Cao Zhang's death, a golden treasure chest engraved with dark gold patterns floated out.

Bai Pu, Crazy Zen, and the Overlord all reached out almost simultaneously, placing their hands on the treasure chest!

However, none of them had the direct right to retrieve the chest!

This situation meant that the contributions of all three were similar, with none gaining absolute dominance!

All three chose to retrieve the chest simultaneously, the result being—

Click.

A soft sound only the Awakened could hear, the chest split into three, and in the dense golden light, condensed into three keys, falling into the palms of Bai Pu, Crazy Zen, and the Overlord.

Bai Pu checked the Spirit Realm Will's prompt information.

[You have obtained the Golden Key (Cao Zhang). Using this Golden Key, you can summon Cao Zhang's Spoils Treasure Chest. You only have one chance to draw a Spoils Card.]

[Warning: There are a total of (3) Golden Keys belonging to Cao Zhang's Spoils Treasure Chest. Items drawn by other Awakened will not appear in your Spoils Card list.]

Bai Pu understood that these three Golden Keys were equivalent to three channels to Cao Zhang's chest!

All three had the qualification to draw, if Bai Pu first drew the Fangtian Halberd, then the Fangtian Halberd would not appear in the remaining Spoils Cards, and the Overlord and Crazy Zen would surely not be able to draw it.

Actually, not considering special circumstances, the probability of all three drawing the Fangtian Halberd was the same, regardless of drawing first or last, there wasn't much difference.

However, the Overlord was clearly not someone to leave fate in others' hands. After obtaining the Golden Key, he immediately chose to summon the chest and draw!

Bai Pu, however, calmed down, wanting to first see if there were any secrets in the drawing process of the Golden Key that he wasn't aware of.

The Overlord first clicked on the Spoils Card.

The card flipped, revealing the pattern of a helmet.

Crazy Zen burst into laughter, but the Overlord remained calm, three silver sparkling dice images appeared above his head, spinning in the air!

Three sixes! A Leopard!

Crazy Zen's face changed dramatically, he exclaimed, "You're cheating!"

Bai Pu squinted, what could provoke the deeply composed Crazy Zen so much?

[Duke Wei's Lead-Filled Dice], a Silver Named Relic accessory.

No Additional Attributes, with only one Additional Skill—

[Regret: In drawing spoils from treasure chests of Leader Level and below (including Leader Level), if dissatisfied with the spoils, you can redraw before the item appears.]

[+4 Special Effect: Cheat: When redrawing Spoils Cards, the back of high-value cards will reveal special dark marks.]

[Warning: Using the Regret skill causes permanent destruction of the Lead-Filled Dice.]

This is equipment, not an item.

Items cannot be brought into the exam, but equipment has no such restriction!

Therefore, what the Overlord did wasn't considered cheating, nor would it affect the fairness of the exam, Crazy Zen's angry accusation was only aimed at the skill effect of the Lead-Filled Dice.

Crack, the silver dice phantom above the Overlord's head shattered into pieces and disappeared. This Silver Named Relic accessory was therefore destroyed.

At the same time, in the Spoils Card list, the helmet forcibly flipped back! The Spoils Cards whirled once more, a row of cards reappearing.

This time among the cards, there were four with the silver markings of the Lead-Filled Dice on their backs!

Crazy Zen, now with a grave expression, used the Golden Key, intending to draw before the Overlord's second attempt, to try his luck at drawing the Fangtian Halberd!

Bai Pu did the same, his reaction even a fraction quicker than Crazy Zen's.

While Crazy Zen was exclaiming in surprise, Bai Pu had already chosen to use the key to draw.

Therefore, Bai Pu's drawing speed was a fraction faster than the Overlord's second draw.

In front of Bai Pu, the card flipped.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the Fangtian Halberd, but the image of a scroll.

The Overlord, however, laughed heartily, as a black and red Great Halberd appeared in his hand.

[Lu Bu's Fangtian Halberd·Imitation]!

Crazy Zen was the last to draw, a Heart-Protecting Mirror appeared in his palm. Although it was also a valuable life-saving equipment, his face was extremely displeased.

Why does the Fangtian Halberd have an "Imitation" written behind it?

Bai Pu thought for a moment and understood.

Upon first entering the Three Kingdoms: Chibi Plane, the Spirit Realm Will had given a prompt:

"In this plane, you can normally obtain all spoils (except for world-unique items)."

Evidently, Lu Bu's Fangtian Halberd—presumably seen as a Dark Gold Level Named Relic equipment—was a world-unique item.

The equipment that the Overlord drew was likely a replica of Lu Bu's Fangtian Halberd, lacking something compared to the world's unique original.

Of course, judging from the expressions of the Overlord and Crazy Zen, the "Imitation" behind the Fangtian Halberd wasn't surprising, they clearly already knew.

For the Overlord and Crazy Zen to regard it so highly, apart from its considerable power, this Fangtian Halberd (Imitation) could also be converted into a significant number of points!

On the real-time leaderboard, the Overlord's points suddenly soared by 200, reaching a high of 514 points.

What does 200 points mean?

Bai Pu undertook an S-level sub-profession conversion mission, successfully transitioning to a hidden sub-profession "Daoist Alchemist", which only increased his score by under two hundred points.

On the other hand, Crazy Zen's points, only increased by 35 points—the Heart-Protecting Mirror's converted score wasn't insignificant, but couldn't compare with the Fangtian Halberd.

And what Bai Pu drew was a fragmentary scroll.

Converted points: 40. Current total: 414.

Bai Pu glanced briefly, quickly putting the book away.

"Gangxin, what did you draw, show it to me?"

The Overlord, now at the top of the leaderboard, asked Bai Pu with a satisfying smile.

He had not only reclaimed first place, but also led Bai Pu by a full 100 points!

Seeing the exam time nearing its end, with a gap of 100 points, there was no way Bai Pu could possibly catch up.

Though the Overlord didn't get full marks in the cultural subjects, the Spirit Realm exploration subject had a weighting of 60%, while cultural subjects only had 20%!

"Ultimately, my total score will definitely be the highest!" thought the Overlord joyfully.

Bai Pu paid no attention, opening Blue Treasure Chests one by one with the Cuttlefish, and the score began to rise slowly.

"No need to divide these chests' contents, give all the points to you." Cuttlefish was clearly aware Bai Pu was in a crucial moment of competing for the champion.

"There's no need." Bai Pu shook his head, refusing.

After dividing up the treasure chests, Bai Pu's score increased by 42 points, totaling 456.

The Overlord breathed a sigh of relief, he almost forgot that Bai Pu still had some unopened treasure chests, nearly celebrating prematurely.

But now it seemed, Bai Pu's score was still 58 points short, leaving him at first.

Gan Ning finally arrived.

However, looking at the lifeless body of Cao Zhang, Gan Ning's expression was ugly.

Despite his best efforts to hurry, he was still a step too late, missing the chance to kill another Cao Army Grand General!

At that, the Yellow Turban remnants were long gone, and Gan Ning took out his frustration on the remaining Cao Zhang's personal guards, slaughtering them all without leaving a single prisoner.

Making matters worse, Gan Ning was visibly upset seeing the slain Cao Zhang.

"I taught Doctor Liu the method to create Emergency First Aid Ointment before I set out." Bai Pu said softly.

"Hmm." Gan Ning nodded, for Doctor Liu was after all the medical director of the West Camp, so he could be trusted.

"I also wrote the method to create the Emergency First Aid Ointment into a letter and sent it to Lord Zijing." Bai Pu said quietly.

"By now, Lord Zijing's likely found Doctor Liu."

As if to confirm Bai Pu's words, Bai Pu suddenly gained a rapid increase in the Reputation value with Sun Quan's Army, and his points started to rise as well.
