Today's third update: Chapter 1024!
Ding! You completed the first-stage trial assessment of Apricot Altar - Qufu Academy with a perfect score. Because the questions became significantly more difficult during the assessment, you gained Qufu Academy's recognition and skipped the F-Rank and E-Rank stages. Congratulations, you received a D-Rank evaluation for the SS-tier Secret Realm—Apricot Altar - Qufu Academy! Ding! D-Rank evaluation rewards: E-Rank Skill Slot Advancement Scroll ×70, D-Rank Skill Slot Advancement Scroll ×30, C-Rank Skill Slot Advancement Scroll ×10, EXP +60%, C-Rank Job Change Certificate ×1.

If you withdraw from the trial midway, they will be reclaimed.
