Chapter Summaries

An Qingyu deduced that something abnormal was happening at school, protected himself from Lin Qiye’s singing, and learned about the Nightwatchers and the Nanda Snake Demon. As the group believed they had killed the demon’s main body, Zhou Meng warned Lin Qiye that it was actually standing right beside him, disguised as Li Yifei.

• Zhou Meng told Lin Qiye that the demon’s main body was not the corpse but was standing to his right as Li Yifei.

Lin Qiye suspected Li Yifei might be the Nanda Snake Demon's true body after Zhou Meng warned him, and exposed the demon with the Blazing Angel's divine might. With Hongying's help, he killed the Snake Demon, while Zhou Meng headed to the dungeon to welcome it as a new servant.

• Zhou Meng told Lin Qiye that Li Yifei was the Nanda Snake Demon's true body, and Lin Qiye reconsidered Li Yifei's suspicious sick-leave note.

• An Qingyu asked Lin Qiye how he had discovered the disguised demon, while Zhou Meng left his ward and headed to the dungeon to welcome the new servant.

Lin Qiye captured the Nanda Snake Demon, who was revealed to be Li Yifei, and brought him into the Mental Hospital. After Li Yifei signed Zhou Meng’s expanded Labor Contract, Lin Qiye assigned him as Nyx’s caregiver, where Nyx and Zhou Meng welcomed him as their grandson.

• Nyx called Li Yifei her grandson and reunited him with Zhou Meng, while Lin Qiye pushed him into the family embrace.

Zhou Meng gave Lin Qiye two new purple Traits, Random Summoning and Gate of Babylon, after letting him choose their categories. Lin Qiye tried Random Summoning in the Mental Hospital, and the Summoning Array began to shine.

• Zhou Meng noted that Lin Qiye's use of Traits had lowered his mental illness index to 99%, while Nyx's treatment improved quickly under Li Yifei's care.
• Lin Qiye told Zhou Meng he had reached the limit of the Cup Realm and could accommodate two purple Traits, then complained about the humiliating effects of Heavenly Voice.
• Zhou Meng let Lin Qiye choose attack and summoning Traits, replacing Ghost-Face Spatial Shift and Bronze Head and Iron Arms with Random Summoning and Gate of Babylon.
• Zhou Meng explained that Random Summoning called a random creature one realm higher after Lin Qiye prepared a Summoning Array, while Gate of Babylon launched weapons when he laughed aloud.
• Lin Qiye drew the Summoning Array and tapped it with a branch, causing brilliant light to erupt.

Lin Qiye fled after Zhou Meng summoned an invulnerable Tom Cat and offered to test his Extraordinary Fertility entry. At the new recruit camp, Yuan Gang warned the instructors about Lin Qiye’s unusual abilities, then the camp staff discovered Lin Qiye had arrived early for training.

• Zhou Meng summoned Tom Cat, who recovered after Zhou Meng flattened his head with a Frying Pan.
• Lin Qiye escaped when Zhou Meng suggested testing his Extraordinary Fertility entry, and Li Yifei also fled after Zhou Meng offered to try it with him.
• Yuan Gang reviewed the recruits’ roster and told the instructors that Lin Qiye had multiple Forbidden Ruins, was Michael’s Agent, and had a mysterious second personality called Zhou Meng.
• Yuan Gang ordered the instructors to watch Lin Qiye closely and summon the Masked Squad to help manage the recruits.
• After a sentry reported a student carrying two cartoon-themed suitcases, an instructor went to meet him and learned that the early arrival was Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye arrived at the training camp and met Baili Pangpang, whose hidden identity and trove of forbidden items intrigued Zhou Meng. During the recruits’ first training session, Lin Qiye showed off his experience killing Mythical Creatures, then realized the instructors might have planned a special test for him as someone unusual.

• Lin Qiye arrived early at the training camp, and Instructor Hong Hao showed him around while he waited for the other recruits.
• Zhou Meng examined Baili Pangpang’s traits and forbidden items, recognizing that one item might relate to his lost memories.
• Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang joined the recruits’ first training session, where Yuan Gang challenged them to accept that they were ordinary rookies.
• Lin Qiye told Baili Pangpang that he had killed two Mythical Creatures, prompting Baili Pangpang to admire him and decide to stick close.
• 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.
• The recruits charged the Masked Squad, but Tianping immediately sent one of them flying.
• Lin Qiye judged that the recruits were at a disadvantage, so he took Baili Pangpang toward the locked warehouse to prepare a summoning array.
• Baili Pangpang lent Lin Qiye his Magic Wand, which Lin Qiye used to complete the array and summon a figure.
• 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.
• Moon Ghost called for help as his teammates surrounded the warehouse, while Tianping and Whirlpool noticed the giant mushroom man.

Lin Qiye used his Mushroom Man summon to knock Rose and Whirlpool out of the recruits’ path, then escaped with Baili Pangpang and Mo Li. The trio headed for the dormitory building while the Masked Squad searched the warehouse ruins for Whirlpool and the mushroom.

• Tianping altered the warehouse’s gravity as Rose enlarged her hammer and brought it down on the recruits.
• Lin Qiye ordered Mushroom Bro to block the hammer, and the Mushroom Man sent Rose flying with a punch.
• Wang Mian ordered Whirlpool to intercept Lin Qiye and his companions as they broke toward the south.
• Lin Qiye teleported the Mushroom Man behind Whirlpool, who was punched into the warehouse ruins and landed among explosives.
• 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.
• Yuan Gang and the instructors watched the battle footage, speculated that Lin Qiye’s summoning came from the Mortal Divine Realm, and ordered the Masked Squad to use River Realm strength if Zhou Meng appeared.
• 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.
• Wang Mian used Yiyuan to slice apart the dormitory buildings, and Lin Qiye rushed toward the smoke-covered Masked Squad.
• 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.
• Zhou Meng took control, introduced himself to Wang Mian and the others, and asked who had swung the hammer.
• Zhou Meng took Rose’s giant hammer from her and struck her into a building, knocking her unconscious.
• 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.

Yuan Gang declared the recruits had lost because none of them removed a Masked Squad member’s mask before the deadline, despite Lin Qiye having beaten the squad. Lin Qiye returned to the dormitory with Baili Pangpang, while Zhou Meng wondered what he had forgotten.

• Yuan Gang addressed the battered recruits and Masked Squad as both groups struggled with their defeat by Lin Qiye.
• Shen Qingzhu challenged Yuan Gang, arguing that the surviving recruits should count as winners because Lin Qiye had beaten the Masked Squad.
• Yuan Gang reminded Shen Qingzhu that the match required recruits to remove a mask before nine o’clock, and the Masked Squad’s masks were all still on.
• Yuan Gang dismissed everyone and warned the recruits that their training nightmare would begin the next day.
• Baili Pangpang caught up with Lin Qiye and asked how he had defeated the Masked Squad, while Lin Qiye blamed Zhou Meng for not removing their masks.
• Zhou Meng sneezed inside the Mental Hospital, wondered if Lin Qiye was talking about him, and went to ask Li Yifei for a late-night snack.

Yuan Gang and the instructors discussed how to handle Lin Qiye after Zhou Meng, a god, manifested during the Masked Squad’s test. They decided to keep training as usual, strengthen camp security, and report the incident to headquarters, while Yuan Gang planned to intensify Lin Qiye’s training.

• Yuan Gang apologized to the instructors and Masked Squad for arranging the test that brought Zhou Meng out.
• Wang Mian advised leaving Lin Qiye alone to train normally, reinforcing the camp, and reporting Zhou Meng’s identity and abilities to headquarters.
• Yuan Gang’s group agreed to keep Zhou Meng’s existence secret and increase security while training continued as usual.
• Yuan Gang ordered the instructors to give Lin Qiye harder training because he was still only at the Cup Realm.
• Wang Mian told the Masked Squad they could help choose Lin Qiye’s training exercises and intensity as compensation for their fight with Zhou Meng.

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.

• 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 wondered whether Sun Wukong or Yang Jian was among the Mental Hospital’s patients, while recruits began learning about the Nightwatchers’ enemies.

• Zhou Meng asked Li Yifei to make vodka, and Li Yifei agreed to grow the ingredients first.
• Zhou Meng transferred Seventy-Two Transformations to Lin Qiye and reclaimed his two purple traits.
• Zhou Meng explained that Lin Qiye’s transformations were limited by his current realm and that Yang Jian could also possess the ability.
