• Zhou Meng warned Lin Qiye that the instructors might give him a special show of force, and someone in the crowd cried out that a person was falling from above the clouds.

The recruits began a challenge against five members of the Masked Squad, whose realms had been suppressed to the Zhan Realm. Lin Qiye avoided the opening fight and tried to summon something useful near the locked armory, leaving Mo Li and Baili Pangpang staring at the strange white mushroom person that appeared.

• The Masked Squad arrived, and Yuan Gang announced that the recruits could avoid the year's training if they removed the masks of five squad members before nine that night.

• Mo Li arrived at the armory and joined Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang in staring at the summoned white mushroom person, while Zhou Meng sat up in bed at the sight.

Lin Qiye summoned a giant mushroom that blasted open the warehouse doors with one punch, then joined Mo Li, Baili Pangpang, and the recruits in fighting Moon Ghost. As Moon Ghost’s teammates surrounded the warehouse, Tianping and the others spotted the mushroom man.

• Lin Qiye ordered the giant mushroom to open the warehouse doors, and it punched them through the wall behind the warehouse.
• Mo Li and Lin Qiye took weapons while recruits gathered inside, and Mo Li agreed to help use their abilities against the Masked Squad.
• Lin Qiye stopped Moon Ghost from ambushing Mo Li, then he, Mo Li, Baili Pangpang, and the recruits attacked the masked fighter.

• Lin Qiye left the Mushroom Man behind and chose the dormitory building as the trio’s next destination.
• Rose searched the rubble with the Masked Squad, demanding another match with the mushroom.

After Lin Qiye’s summoned mushroom man devastated the Masked Squad, the squad regrouped while Yuan Gang and the instructors struggled to explain Lin Qiye’s abilities. As the recruits trapped Masked Squad members near the dormitories, Zhou Meng warned Lin Qiye that Wang Mian had not yet revealed his trump card.

• Tianping helped Whirlpool crawl out of the rubble, and Rose nearly hit him with her hammer before Wang Mian stopped her.
• Whirlpool asked what Lin Qiye’s mushroom man was, but Wang Mian admitted he did not know and called Lin Qiye interesting.

• Shen Qingzhu trapped five Masked Squad members in crossfire near the dormitories, and Lin Qiye prepared to attack with Gate of Babylon.
• Zhou Meng warned Lin Qiye that Wang Mian was likely holding back a trump card, so Lin Qiye decided to wait until the Masked Squad thought it had defeated the recruits.

Lin Qiye used the Gate of Babylon to bombard the Masked Squad with golden weapons after Wang Mian revealed Yiyuan, creating an opening for the recruits to attack. The barrage stopped as Lin Qiye ran out of strength, leaving him leaning on Baili Pangpang and asking for water.

• Lin Qiye decided to wait for the Masked Squad to reveal its trump card before making his move.

• Lin Qiye summoned a rain of golden weapons that forced Wang Mian and the others to defend themselves.
• Shen Qingzhu rallied the surviving recruits to charge the Masked Squad while it was pinned down.
• Lin Qiye stopped laughing and summoning weapons, then leaned on Baili Pangpang and asked for water.

After Lin Qiye’s bombardment forced the Masked Squad to regroup, the recruits and squad members broke into separate fights. Lin Qiye recovered his strength and faced Wang Mian one-on-one, planning to test himself against the captain at night.

• Lin Qiye stopped the Gate of Babylon’s bombardment because he had laughed himself hoarse, while Zhou Meng’s mental illness index fell and his possession time increased to five minutes.
• The Masked Squad caught its breath, and Wang Mian ordered his battered teammates to focus as the recruits charged again.
• The fighters split into separate duels: Shen Qingzhu fought Whirlpool, Cao Yuan chased Tianping, and Baili Pangpang’s Yaoguang and One Into Three Thousand kept Moon Ghost at bay.
• The Masked Squad members targeted Lin Qiye, while the recruits shifted to protecting him; Rose and Mo Li disappeared from view as their fight continued nearby.
• Lin Qiye faced Wang Mian and bluffed that he could use his strange ability again, though he had little mental power left and chose to fight the captain to test his strength.

Yuan Gang ordered the Masked Squad to attack Lin Qiye together so he could test the limits of his power. After the squad’s combined assault, Wang Mian sensed that Lin Qiye’s aura had changed and ordered everyone to unleash their realms, leaving the recruits to face an unknown power emerging from the rubble.

• Yuan Gang told Wang Mian to have the Masked Squad gang up on Lin Qiye and prepare to unleash their realms if Zhou Meng appeared.
• Wang Mian stopped fighting Lin Qiye, and the other four squad members joined him in a coordinated attack that sent him crashing into the rubble.
• Wang Mian sensed Lin Qiye’s aura vanish and a far stronger presence take its place, so he ordered the squad to release their realm restrictions and Whirlpool to evacuate the recruits.
• Whirlpool and Tianping transported the recruits to safety as they questioned why the Masked Squad had unleashed their River and Sea Realms against Lin Qiye.
• Lin Qiye rose from the rubble, brushed off the dust, and smiled strangely as he remarked on the hammer’s blow.

After Rose’s hammer left Lin Qiye unable to move, he called on Zhou Meng, his second personality, to take over. Zhou Meng overwhelmed the Masked Squad’s fighters in turn, leaving Moon Ghost frozen and facing him from behind.

• Lin Qiye lay trapped in the rubble and asked Zhou Meng to come out and help him.

• Wang Mian warned the squad to hold on to their weapons, while Zhou Meng countered Tianping’s gravity and pinned him into the ground.
• Moon Ghost attacked Zhou Meng from behind, but Zhou Meng vanished, stopped him from dispersing into moonlight, and tapped his shoulder.

Zhou Meng used his stealing ability to defeat the Masked Squad, then left Wang Mian wondering whether his calm approach had only been part of Zhou Meng’s game. After the fight, Yuan Gang decided to confront Zhou Meng himself to investigate his suspicions.

• Whirlpool tried twice to attack Zhou Meng, but Zhou Meng stole his intent and left him confused.
• Wang Mian deduced that Zhou Meng could steal abilities and intentions, and chose not to challenge him.
• Zhou Meng slowed time, struck Wang Mian, and left every member of the Masked Squad temporarily unable to fight.
• At nine o’clock, Yuan Gang ordered the hidden basement door opened and went to speak with Zhou Meng.

Yuan Gang questioned Zhou Meng and learned that he was a god who had lost his memory and could take over Lin Qiye when needed. After Zhou Meng vanished and Lin Qiye collapsed, Yuan Gang ordered the combat exercise ended before the recruits could remove the Masked Squad’s masks.

• Yuan Gang confronted Zhou Meng and concluded that a god had descended into Lin Qiye.
• Zhou Meng confirmed he was a god, said he had lost his memory, and told Yuan Gang he could emerge when Lin Qiye needed him, was near death, or he wanted some fun.
• Zhou Meng told the instructors to train Lin Qiye well, then disappeared as Lin Qiye collapsed unconscious.
• Yuan Gang realized the recruits might remove the Masked Squad’s masks and end the training camp, so he ordered the combat exercise over.
• The instructors announced that the exercise had ended and told everyone to assemble at the training ground in half an hour.

• Shen Qingzhu challenged Yuan Gang, arguing that the surviving recruits should count as winners because Lin Qiye had beaten the Masked Squad.

Zhou Meng stole the Great Sage’s orange [Seventy-Two Transformations] trait for Lin Qiye, who had chosen an orange trait for his next upgrade. After the Great Sage unexpectedly asked Zhou Meng to fetch him wine, Zhou Meng went to find Li Yifei in the backyard.

• Li Yifei lost another card game to Zhou Meng and Nyx, then quit in anger.
• Lin Qiye visited the hospital, complained about the recruit camp’s punishing training, and teased Zhou Meng about forgetting to unmask the Masked Squad.
• Zhou Meng explained that the recruits needed training and offered Lin Qiye the choice of an orange trait or lower-ranked traits; Lin Qiye chose orange.
• Zhou Meng entered Sun Wukong’s ward and stole [Seventy-Two Transformations], after which the Great Sage asked him to bring wine.
• Zhou Meng left the ward and approached Li Yifei, who was hoeing in the backyard, to discuss something with him.

Zhou Meng gave Lin Qiye the Seventy-Two Transformations trait, which let him transform freely but limited each form’s strength and duration to his realm.

• Lin Qiye used the Seventy-Two Transformations to become the Mental Hospital’s gate and blocked Cao Yuan’s strike.
• Lin Qiye told Baili Pangpang to run, and Baili Pangpang bolted after hearing the gate speak.

Lin Qiye subdued Cao Yuan’s frenzy by transforming into a gate, a Mushroom Man, and a divine water gun. After Cao Yuan returned to normal, Instructor Hong arrived and struggled to believe Baili Pangpang’s account of what had happened.

• Lin Qiye used the Mental Hospital gate form to withstand Cao Yuan’s attacks, then used its divine might to make him retreat.
• Lin Qiye dodged Cao Yuan’s charge, transformed into a Mushroom Man, and punched him into the ground.
• Lin Qiye changed into a water gun and sprayed Cao Yuan with water infused with Michael’s divine might, extinguishing his flames and ending his frenzy.
• Cao Yuan thanked Lin Qiye for suppressing Black King Annihilation, while Instructor Han took responsibility for the incident and helped him up.
• Baili Pangpang recounted Lin Qiye’s transformations to Instructor Hong, who reacted with disbelief.

After Lin Qiye's transformations shocked the instructors, weapons training shifted to explanations, and the recruits gathered for lunch. Cao Yuan asked Lin Qiye to use a water gun if he ever lost control again, while Zhou Meng privately revealed Cao Yuan's preference for mature women.

• Instructor Hong accepted Instructor Han's account of Lin Qiye's transformations, and the instructors agreed that Lin Qiye could keep training as long as he followed camp assignments.
• Instructor Han regained confidence and resumed the lesson with explanations instead of practical combat training.
• At lunch, Baili Pangpang asked Lin Qiye to teach him how to transform, but Lin Qiye explained that his abilities could not be taught.

Lin Qiye and the recruits began an overnight endurance trial on Jinnan Mountain, carrying heavy loads while evading paintball-shooting drones. Instructor Hong revealed that failure would bring a humiliating truth-telling punishment, while Lin Qiye would be spared the ring but targeted by extra drones.

• Instructor Hong announced that the recruits would carry thirty-five-kilogram loads across Jinnan Mountain before daybreak while following rules designed to test endurance, strategy, and cooperation.
• The instructors handed out knives, gave Cao Yuan a spoon instead, and made Baili Tuming surrender his Free-and-Easy Space and jewelry before the recruits entered the forest.
• Instructor Hong told Instructor Han that the mountain had been transformed into a maze and that eliminated recruits would be forced to wear a Truth-Telling Ring while their confessions were broadcast.
• Instructor Hong explained that Lin Qiye would not wear the ring because it might not affect him and could provoke Zhou Meng, but the instructors had increased the drones and assigned some to pursue Lin Qiye specifically.

Lin Qiye outlasted the other recruits during the exhausting run through Jinnan Mountain, then used his transformation ability to evade the instructors’ search. The instructors realized his tracking signal was still moving toward the exit, but they had not yet found him.

• Baili Pangpang rushed ahead because he feared being caught and questioned with a Truth-Telling Ring, while Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan followed through the forest.
• As the hours passed, Shen Qingzhu’s group and Mo Li were caught, and Baili Pangpang collapsed after urging Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan to keep running.
• Cao Yuan was struck by a drone and stopped, leaving Lin Qiye alone as night fell and Starry Night Dancer restored his energy.
• Instructor Hong ordered the remaining drones to pressure Lin Qiye, but Lin Qiye used a seal to transform when he felt like playing a trick on them.
• The instructors sent a medical team to retrieve Lin Qiye after his tracker appeared to stop, but they could not find him or his backpack.
• Instructor Hong realized Lin Qiye might have transformed, and the monitor operator reported that his red dot had begun moving toward the exit.

Lin Qiye reached the exit by traveling underground and became the first recruit to clear extreme training on his first attempt. He passed out from exhausting his mental power, and Instructor Hong realized Lin Qiye could potentially beat his record again.

• Instructor Hong and the other instructors tracked Lin Qiye’s rapidly approaching signal but could not see him anywhere.
• Lin Qiye emerged from the ground beside the instructors and asked whether he had completed the training.
• Instructor Hong confirmed that Lin Qiye had made history, and Lin Qiye smiled before collapsing unconscious.
• The medical team carried Lin Qiye away, while the instructors realized he had traveled underground using an ability linked to Zhou Meng.
• Instructor Hong ordered the other recruits back to camp and reflected that Lin Qiye might set an even faster record at full strength.

At breakfast, Lin Qiye told Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan that he had escaped Jinnan Mountain by transforming into a drill bit and burrowing underground. He kept the embarrassing details of Zhou Meng’s advice and his dizzy, exhausted emergence to himself, then left the cafeteria while the others wondered what was wrong.

• Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan asked Lin Qiye how he had escaped Jinnan Mountain after everyone passed out.
• Lin Qiye said he had drilled underground as a large drill bit, surprising Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan.
• Lin Qiye recalled that Zhou Meng had talked him out of transforming into a bird and suggested he use a drill bit to escape underground.

• Lin Qiye left the cafeteria without revealing the full story, and Cao Yuan told Baili Pangpang to stop speculating and eat.

Zhou Meng collected Li Yifei’s vodka and gave some to Nyx before delivering a gourd of it to Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong’s treatment progress rose to 1%, but Lin Qiye soon shouted angrily at Zhou Meng.

• Zhou Meng visited Li Yifei’s brewing room, praised his freshly made vodka, and took two bottles.
• Zhou Meng gave Nyx vodka while she studied a Chinese chess endgame, and she drank the whole bottle.
• Zhou Meng brought Sun Wukong a gourd of vodka and warned him not to drink too much at once.
• Sun Wukong ignored the warning, took a deep swig, and coughed at the drink’s strength before declaring that he liked it.
• Sun Wukong’s treatment progress rose from 0% to 1% as Zhou Meng left, and Lin Qiye shouted angrily at him.

Nyx’s treatment improved after Zhou Meng and Li Yifei helped her feel the love of her family, allowing her to briefly leave the Gods' Psychiatric Hospital. When Lin Qiye tried to draw one of her abilities, Zhou Meng used Fate Thief to make Extraordinary Fertility far more likely, and the chapter ended as the wheel stopped.

• Lin Qiye found Nyx drunk and dancing with him and Li Yifei in the wrecked activity room, then blamed Zhou Meng for the mess.
• Zhou Meng pointed out that Nyx’s treatment had risen to nearly fifty percent, crediting Li Yifei’s efforts to make her feel familial love.
• After Nyx received sobering medicine, she became emotional at the sight of Lin Qiye, Zhou Meng, and Li Yifei together, raising her treatment index to 51 percent.
• Zhou Meng revealed that his new Fate Thief entry let him alter others’ fates and offered to influence Lin Qiye’s ability draw.
• Lin Qiye started the draw without Zhou Meng’s help, but Zhou Meng used Fate Thief to enlarge the Extraordinary Fertility segment until it covered 75 percent of the wheel.
• Lin Qiye pleaded with Zhou Meng as the wheel spun to a stop, then opened one eye to see what he had drawn.

Lin Qiye gained Dark Divine Ruins and two other abilities, then brought Nyx out of the Mental Hospital into the real world. Yuan Gang sensed her unfamiliar divine aura and alerted Shao Pingge, who began mobilizing a response.

• Zhou Meng tricked Lin Qiye into fearing he might draw Extraordinary Fertility, then returned Seventy-Two Transformations and gave him Fallen Thousand Stars and Body-Settling Method.
• Lin Qiye tested Dark Divine Ruins and Body-Settling Method, then asked Nyx to visit the real world with him.
• Lin Qiye left the Mental Hospital on the dormitory roof, where Nyx appeared beneath the night sky.
• Yuan Gang sensed an unfamiliar god's aura and rushed toward the dormitory while calling Shao Pingge.
• Shao Pingge believed the training camp faced a new divine threat, warned Yuan Gang not to act rashly, and contacted the commander-in-chief.
