Chapter Summary

Twenty days after the High School Entrance Exam, Zheng Huai enjoys a quiet routine in the empty school dormitory—training each morning, watching interstellar news, grading papers, and occasionally fighting in the Virtual Combat Room. However, he remains concerned about his student Lin Ye’s application to Canglan Martial University.
Jiang He eventually contacts him with the expert panel’s preliminary decision: Lin Ye has not qualified for exceptional admission. His Blood Qi Value is below Canglan’s required minimum of 360, largely because he began opening his apertures late. Although the panel recognizes that Lin Ye has excellent fist technique and has already grasped a trace of Fist Momentum, this achievement is not rare enough at Canglan to justify making an exception.
The situation is made worse by this year’s Challenge Stage. Because more students passed the Seventh Stage and achieved higher scores, the admission cutoffs for top universities are expected to rise, with Canglan’s cutoff likely increasing by seven or eight points. Canglan does classify Lin Ye as a promising student and will admit him if he reaches its minimum score, but Zheng Huai believes Lin Ye is unlikely even to meet the previous cutoff.
Zheng Huai is disappointed that he cannot fulfill his promise to help Lin Ye, though he is also pleasantly surprised by how much Lin Ye has accomplished despite his weak foundation and limited time. After the call, he reflects sadly that Lin Ye will now have to continue the journey on his own, feeling the weight of age and his inability to intervene further.
The chapter ends by shifting to Fenglei Martial University, where a School Personnel Recruitment Meeting begins, setting up the next development.
