• Jiang Fu carried the exhausted Shi Jiu home, and she explained that the elite assessment was the real entrance exam with proctoring, unlike the expanded enrollment assessment.
• Jiang Fu opened his assessment confirmation link and learned that the elite assessment offered returned points, waived tuition, scholarships, and rewards, while expanded enrollment required tuition, yearly tasks, and surrendering all points.

Wu Tiande and Yu Xiangrong planned to pursue revenge over Yu Weiyuan’s injuries, but Wu Tiande instead joined Zhang Chong and Shen Yan to discuss retrieving the Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree.

• Shi Jiu guided Jiang Fu through another set of fist techniques while warning him not to improve too quickly and burden his depleted body.
• Xia Fan arrived at Jiang Fu’s villa to activate the proctoring system for his elite entrance assessments at Heavenly Desolation, Earth Origin, and Human Mystery.
• Jiang Fu sensed Xia Fan’s formidable strength, then accepted a silver anti-cheating device and wondered whether it could stop Multiply by Ten.

Xia Fan explained how the Mystic Light Mirror monitored the Elite Assessment and calculated points, while Jiang Fu signed a confidentiality agreement and activated the temporary imitation. After Xia Fan revealed that Shen Yan had detained several people at the Martial Artist Guild, Shi Jiu praised him and urged Jiang Fu to challenge Wude Martial Arts Academy.

• Xia Fan told Jiang Fu that the Mystic Light Mirror tracked his Qi and Blood and Psychic Power, assessed how he killed Mutated Beasts, and downgraded candidates who received outside help.
• Jiang Fu signed the confidentiality agreement and activated the hundred-day imitation, silently noting that Sequence Martial Artists could create Sequence items.
• Shi Jiu told Xia Fan to arrange for Jiang Fu to challenge other academies in Yuntian Martial Arts Academy's name, and Xia Fan was startled when she called Jiang Fu “Little Jiangjiang.”
• Xia Fan told Jiang Fu that Shen Yan had locked the vice principal of Ninth High School and several other figures in his office at the Martial Artist Guild; Shi Jiu praised Shen Yan and Xia Fan added that he had helped catch them.
• After Xia Fan left, Shi Jiu explained that the imitation had limited monitoring functions and offered to obtain a real Mystic Light Mirror, but Jiang Fu declined.
• Shi Jiu stood up and set off with Jiang Fu to challenge Wude Martial Arts Academy.

After Wude Martial Arts Academy closed to avoid Jiang Fu’s challenge, Shen Yan welcomed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu at the Martial Artist Guild and laid out a plan to focus pressure on Wude. The chapter ended with Shi Jiu suggesting Shen Yan take responsibility for keeping the captured officials locked up.

• Wude Martial Arts Academy’s executives chose to close the academy and admit defeat, then alerted the news media to portray Jiang Fu’s challenges as an attack on the district’s academies.
• Shi Jiu redirected Jiang Fu to the Martial Artist Guild, where they agreed he could challenge Wude as an Intermediate Psychic if it kept refusing to face him.
• Shen Yan welcomed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu and revealed he had captured Wu Tiande, though the pair had already guessed who he had caught.
• Shen Yan proposed concentrating the conflict on Wude Martial Arts Academy by having Jiang Fu keep challenging it and arranging media coverage.
• Jiang Fu said Wu Dezhao and the others should remain locked up, and Shi Jiu suggested Shen Yan could take the blame for holding them.

Jiang Fu used his abilities to drive the four captives in Shen Yan’s office into a violent frenzy, while Shen Yan agreed to take responsibility and secretly disabled the surveillance camera. After noticing that using Multiply by Ten on Wu Tiande sharply drained his Mental Strength before it quickly recovered, Jiang Fu considered developing Rain Intent into a stronger recovery ability.

• Jiang Fu identified Wu Deming among the captives and learned that Shen Yan’s office security system had trapped them.
• Jiang Fu presented a bottle of toilet water as a potion, and Shen Yan agreed to use it and take responsibility for what happened.
• Jiang Fu multiplied the captives’ personalities and hostility, turning them against one another in a chaotic fight.
• Shen Yan watched Jiang Fu with fear, then turned off the office surveillance camera.
• Jiang Fu noticed that using Multiply by Ten on Wu Tiande consumed much of his Mental Strength, which recovered a second later, and considered cultivating the Sudden Rain Chapter for percentage-based recovery.

Jiang Fu used the Poison Master as bait to draw Wu Deming and others into the Martial Artist Guild, then gave Shen Yan a lethal Blue-Ringed Octopus venom gland to handle. Shi Jiu explained the Wilderness Zone assessment rules to Jiang Fu, who learned that candidates had to hunt while staying hidden and surviving without relying on the Mystic Light Mirror's distress function.

• Shen Yan asked Jiang Fu whether he still wanted to recruit the Poison Master, and Jiang Fu explained that the man was bait for drawing Wu Deming into the Guild.
• Jiang Fu handed Shen Yan a frozen Second-Tier Blue-Ringed Octopus venom gland, and Shen Yan reluctantly took it to the Poison Master.
• Shi Jiu told Jiang Fu that candidates had to hide their identities in the Wilderness Zone because Expanded-Enrollment Candidates often targeted Elite Candidates and stole their prey.
• Shi Jiu explained that outside help was allowed if candidates did not submit assisted kills to the Mystic Light Mirror, but activating its distress function meant failing the exam and losing Elite Candidate status.
• Shen Yan and Xia Fan left the VIP lounge, and Xia Fan remarked that Shi Jiu seemed more like a person than before.

Jiang Fu entered the Wilderness Zone to begin the Three-School Joint Admissions Exam, equipped with weapons and enhancements from Shi Jiu. After confirming that Multiply by Ten could temporarily increase the number of objects, he considered using it to strengthen the city wall during a siege.

• Shi Jiu concealed Jiang Fu’s scent and sent him out wearing a high-grade Combat Uniform with a War Blade, the Flying Sword Hold On, and the Mystic Light Mirror.
• At the Ninth District Safety Passage, a guard and another Martial Artist each advised Jiang Fu to carry his sword at his waist, but Jiang Fu pointed out that he already had a blade there.

• Jiang Fu multiplied one pebble into ten for three seconds, confirmed the effect worked on objects, and planned to multiply a defensive city wall’s defense and strength during a siege.

• Jiang Fu multiplied the city's Air Defense Belt and defensive wall's offensive and defensive coefficients by ten if they ever faced an attack they could not withstand, then left without drawing attention.
• In the rainy Wilderness Zone, Jiang Fu used Mental Touch to sense a Rain Monkey 500 meters away and multiplied the gravity acting on it by ten.
• Jiang Fu multiplied the Rain Monkey into ten, and the ten beasts attacked and killed one another under the increased gravity.
• Jiang Fu killed the Rain Monkeys with his Flying Sword Hold On and submitted their corpses to the Mystic Light Mirror, earning ten exam points and rising to 156th place.
• Jiang Fu realized he could keep the corpses to sell and headed toward a level-three Mutated Beast, the Blood-Eyed Golden Tiger.

Jiang Fu multiplied the rain’s duration to lure out Mutated Beasts, then killed ten Bloodthirsty Wild Boars and rose to third place in the exam rankings. Meanwhile, Jin Manzhi asked Xu Yunfeng to assist Jiang Fu, but Xu Yunfeng doubted he could help and decided to consult Zhang Chong and Shen Yan.

• Jiang Fu multiplied ten Rain Monkey skins but learned the Mystic Light Mirror required corpses at least 60 percent intact, so he stored the skins and carried the corpses into the Wilderness Zone.
• Jiang Fu avoided the dangerous valley, dumped the Rain Monkey corpses as bait, and multiplied the rain’s duration by ten to draw out Mutated Beasts.
• Jiang Fu multiplied one Bloodthirsty Wild Boar into ten and killed all ten with Continuous Sword Rain, earning 100 exam points and reaching third place.
• Jiang Fu stored the boars and set off to find the Blood-Eyed Golden Tiger, vowing to overtake Li Xiuchuan and Tong Min.
• Jin Manzhi asked Xu Yunfeng to serve as Jiang Fu’s outside assistance on behalf of Minister Yuwen, but Xu Yunfeng declined and decided to discuss the request with Zhang Chong and Shen Yan.

Jin Manzhi tried to persuade Xu Yunfeng to help Jiang Fu with the Three Greats' entrance exam, but he saw through her approach and consulted Shen Yan. Shen Yan and Xia Fan realized District One had planted misinformation about the exam and discussed using Jiang Fu’s parents’ will and a supposed Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree against them.

• Jin Manzhi tried to seduce Xu Yunfeng into helping Jiang Fu with the exam, but Xu Yunfeng refused and said he would consult Shen Yan and Xia Fan.
• Xu Yunfeng told Shen Yan what Jin Manzhi had asked, and Shen Yan said he would discuss it with Xia Fan.
• Xiao Zhang returned with a pair of ornamental walnuts costing twenty thousand yuan, leaving Xu Yunfeng dismayed.
• Xia Fan explained that Chu Huai'an had unknowingly spread false information planted by District One to discourage Ninth District staff from helping Jiang Fu.
• Shen Yan told Xia Fan that Jiang Fu’s parents’ will concerned a Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree supposedly held in District One, and said they could make the claim real if they handled it properly.
