As the exam was announced, the Heavenly Court arranged expanded tutoring and support, bringing elite students from rival universities together in Spark True Lord’s classroom.

• Zhang Yu resumed cultivation and considered using the Hell Soul Washing Scripture to improve his sect morality and aptitude; two days later, his palm symbol filled and a new page of the Feather Scroll unfolded.

Zhang Yu strengthened his Nascent Soul Saint Body, prepared for the Sect Examination, and learned the Hell Soul Washing Scripture could manage memories without disrupting his consciousness. After he used it to contact Reincarnation, the Upper Level tasked Kuang Tianqing with acting as an intermediary to reach him.

• Zhang Yu used his Level 40 Nascent Soul techniques to raise the Nascent Soul Saint Body's limit, then cultivated it to 12/12 and unlocked a fourth effect that increased its effects by 20%.

Kuang Tianqing enlisted Zhang Yu’s help to use the Hell Soul Washing Scripture to prepare for the Sect Examination, while Zhang Yu explored memory infusion and created a Sect Examination Clone to contain its effects. As the Preliminary Test approached, several students considered or used dangerous shortcuts, and Zhang Yu began testing repeated Exam Ancestor memory infusions on Yu Xinghan.

• Kuang Tianqing told Zhang Yu he had reincarnated from the Heavenly Devil Sect and offered him access to dead people’s memories in exchange for help passing the Sect Examination.

Zhang Yu and the others took the Preliminary Test, where Zhang Yu’s examination clone impressed a Sect examiner and received a high score.

Zhang Yu helped Le Mulan, Kuang Tianqing, Yu Xinghan, and Bai Zhenzhen regain control of their Sect Examination memories and prepared with them for the second examination. After all five passed the preliminary examination, Zhang Yu took the Yufa Pavilion’s written and practical tests, where he began reconstructing fragmented Martial Arts and discovered a technique named Wu One.

• Zhang Yu sealed Le Mulan’s Sect Examination memories, then restored Kuang Tianqing’s past-life memories and helped Yu Xinghan reclaim his clone and Bai Zhenzhen control hers.

Zhang Yu and his companions completed reexaminations for different sects, and Zhang Yu earned first place with a perfect score. After the results alarmed officials who feared Lower Realm candidates would enter the Sect, Yun Zhiguang confronted Zhang Yu and tried to force him to give up his interview.

• Zhang Yu correctly assembled all ten martial arts, while True Lord Wu Xiang answered eight correctly and Lu Xuanzhi suspected Zhang Yu had received the questions in advance.

• Yun Zhiguang confronted Zhang Yu, offered to marry him if he withdrew from the interview, and threatened him when he refused to agree.

After Yun Zhiguang’s forced-cultivation attempt failed, Zhang Yu rejected her outsourcing offer and spent six days mastering Formless Martial Evolution while the Heavenly Court shielded him from investigations. As the final interview began, Yun Zhiguang suspected the Heavenly Court had secretly prepared Zhang Yu and his companions for the examination.

• Yun Zhiguang pinned Zhang Yu with a Forced-Cultivation License, but Zhang Yu used his Sect Examination Clone to make her believe dual cultivation would benefit him, so she withdrew.

• Zhang Yu entered the hall with True Lord Wu Xiang and saw four indistinct examiners, Sect disciples, and Yun Zhiguang waiting inside.

Zhang Yu defended civil engineering’s value in his Yufa Pavilion interview, then narrowed True Lord Wu Xiang’s lead by demonstrating extraordinary mastery of simulated martial arts. With the final question testing a body-refinement technique’s originality, Zhang Yu rapidly advanced it to Level 20 and argued that it was an innovation, leaving the examiners to judge his claim.

• Deputy Minister Lu challenged Zhang Yu’s transfer from civil engineering to artifact crafting, and Zhang Yu argued that the fields complemented each other and had helped defend Layers 2–5.
• Patrol God Geng backed Zhang Yu’s case for civil engineering, while the examiners explained that Zhang Yu and True Lord Wu Xiang would answer four questions and receive joint scores.
• Zhang Yu and True Lord Wu Xiang each scored 80 on the first question, but Zhang Yu scored 52 on the talisman-arts question against Wu Xiang’s 80.

• Yu Xinghan interpreted the technique's heavenly thunder as a resolve to charge forward despite overwhelming odds, and he condensed Fist Intent as lightning erupted around him.

Yu Xinghan overcame the Sect Examination Clone’s influence, explained the Nine Heavens Thunderclap Chapter, and passed the interview, joining Zhang Yu and the others as a provisional Myriad Laws Sect member. As the successful candidates prepared for their move to Layer 11 and the Spark Sect Examination became a major public campaign, Zhang Yu agreed to bring Ye Xingnian with him.
