Later, Nan Fusheng saw Tang Wulin running with Ouyang Zixin and dismissed his own scheme to use her as a Doppelganger to meddle in Tang Wulin’s relationships.

• Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin led most of the physical tests, while Nan Fusheng ranked first in reaction speed and Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi grew discouraged.

• Nan Fusheng released his Martial Soul and used Parasitism’s perspective as a tiny insect crawled up the tree.

Nan Fusheng used a bird through Parasitism to scout the Spirit Ascension Platform and found Zhang Yangzi had already used his Rescue Signal Device. He later joined Tang Wulin and Xie Xie after Tang rescued Xie Xie from a Unicorn Dragon, which Tang finished off so Little Snake could absorb its energy.

• Nan Fusheng possessed a cyan bird, discovered he could understand its kind, and saw Zhang Yangzi vanish after using his Rescue Signal Device amid a swarm of Cyan Birds.

• Tang Wulin pierced the Unicorn Dragon's head with his Golden Dragon Claw, and Little Snake absorbed the faint yellow glow that emerged.

Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin defeated a Century-Level Horned Dragon, but Gu Yue led a Millennium-Level Crystal Bear to them. Their attacks only injured the bear, so Nan Fusheng assigned the group roles to exploit its weakness at the back of its neck.

• Tang Wulin apologized to Nan Fusheng after Little Snake absorbed the Horned Dragon’s Spirit Power, and Nan Fusheng explained ways opponents could counter his Spirit Skill.

• Nan Fusheng used Steal to help Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue coordinate attacks that brought down the Millennium-Level Crystal Bear.
• The bear released a crystallization halo that encased Tang Wulin; Gu Yue caught him, was badly injured, and Nan Fusheng sent her back with her Rescue Signal Device.

• Nan Fusheng began cultivating in his dormitory and realized that Deep Parasitism on Soul Beasts consumed only one Time Worm.

Nan Fusheng entered the Spirit Ascension Platform through his consciousness while controlling the Blue Bird he had deeply parasitized, then discovered a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in the forest. The bear noticed him and attacked as he tried to flee.

• Nan Fusheng transferred his consciousness to the Blue Bird inside the Spirit Ascension Platform and reveled in the freedom of flying.
• Nan Fusheng sensed Soul Power in the forest and descended to investigate, despite the Blue Bird’s fear of a stronger Soul Beast.
• Nan Fusheng saw a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear eating a thousand-year Great Strength Ape and recognized it as the beast that had given Tang Wulin an External Soul Bone.
• Nan Fusheng flew away, but the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared at him and sliced the Blue Bird into several pieces.

Nan Fusheng reviewed his Deep Parasitism ability after being killed in the Spirit Ascension Platform and wondered whether the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had sensed something unusual. In class, Wu Changkong asked the students to reflect on their experiences, and Wang Jinxi admitted he was still haunted by the Man Faced Demon Spider.

• Nan Fusheng considered whether the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had detected his possession of the Blue Bird and identified three ways his Deep Parasitism could affect a target.

• Wu Changkong comforted Wang Jinxi, then questioned Gu Yue about how she had found Tang Wulin in the Spirit Ascension Platform.
• Gu Yue, Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, and Nan Fusheng described what they had learned from the trial, emphasizing combat practice and teamwork.
