After realizing he had transmigrated into Ning Yue, a sleepy senior at a martial arts high school in a world transformed by spiritual energy, Ning Yue learned about the dangers facing humanity and the upcoming schoolwide mock exam.

• After Zuo Tianchang finished explaining the exam, Ning Yue told Li Feng he planned to take first place and called out for his system.

Ning Yue used the Myriad Heavens Simulator for the first time and watched a simulated life as a palace eunuch end in death at the hands of a Grandmaster assassin. He chose practical items as his reward, then returned to his empty home, relieved that his parents were not there yet.

He chose the Bitter Bamboo Scripture over a cache of spirit stones and received the adjusted god-tier technique and cultivation experience, though both were sealed because his realm was too low.

After the simulation’s sealing process, Ning Yue mastered the first level of the Ninefold Thunder Saber and began cultivating the first three levels of the Bitter Bamboo Scripture. He left Thunder Martial Arts Hall with his qi and blood increased to 61, determined to impress everyone at the next day’s martial dao mock exam.
