The next morning, Cai Ming learns that his students have won the final exam. He asks the teacher to explain. The teacher tells him that his prize is a one-year bonus, and that he will be punished for fighting in secret with Cai Ming's forces. Cai Ming says that the responsibility for the exam is his as a teacher. He also tells the teacher that he has no home, so he has to stay at the academy. The instructor says that Cai Ming asked him to stay with him so that he could help him in his cultivation. He says that his blood energy is increasing by the day, and his transformation has far reached the dragon god's consequences. The general manager of the branch of the shresh city's sect, Guixiaoxu, comes in and tells Cai Ming that the school has given all of its students free access to the sect's unique method of cultivation. Guixiaxu says that he cannot feel Cai Ming when he drew near, but that his cultivation base is much greater than that of the teacher. The hall master says that it is better to let the students run errands at the defense hall than to let them go to the holy yes hall.
