In class, Wu Zhangkong reviewed the team’s performance, warned them about survival and Soul Beast hunting, and left Zhang Yangzi asking whether they could ease up in practical combat.

Wu Zhangkong explained Wang Jinxi’s choices, while the group left the decision to him and returned to preparing for their final exam.

• Wang Jinxi’s Martial Soul rejected Zhang Yangzi’s Dark Demon Eagle, and Wu Zhangkong concluded that Wang Jinxi’s Martial Soul had mutated and their compatibility had changed.
• Zhang Yangzi asked whether Wang Jinxi’s training with Tang Wu Lin had caused the change, and Wu Zhangkong took Wang Jinxi and Tang Wu Lin aside to examine their Martial Souls.
