In this chapter, Ling Ling explains how he tricked the examiner into believing that he was injured in the fight. He tells the audience that if he hadn't acted so well, he wouldn't be able to fool the examiner. He explains that when the examiner threw him back, Ling Lan gave him a tube of fluid and told him to pretend to be injured. The examiner hit Ling Ling again, and Ling Ling was able to pull back in time. He says that he would have doubted himself if he had not acted so convincingly. The teacher tells the students that they can leave the academy after the tests are over and that their results will be posted on the academy website within an hour.
