Wei Zhi returned to the academy and was stopped by Wei Jingyue on her way back, who questioned her and bluntly stated that their master had saved her. Upon hearing this, Wei Jingyue was furious and accused Wei Zhi of lacking shame and seducing two men. Seeing this scene, Wei Lingyue felt jealous, and the two of them developed a deep grudge against each other.

Ou Ya had been waiting for Wei Zhi in his room and complained that she didn't seek his help when she had a problem. Wei Zhi couldn't be bothered to explain and simply drove him away. Lan Su noticed that Ou Ya had developed feelings for someone else and wanted to cause trouble for Wei Zhi. Ou Ya quickly stopped Lan Su and warned her not to harm Wei Zhi in the slightest.

Due to Yan Yue changing the fate of others without authorization, committing an unforgivable crime against the celestial laws, the Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to punish him severely according to the law, stripping him of two hundred years of spiritual power and temporarily sealing half of his cultivation. Qing Huan privately reported the situation in the mortal realm to the Heavenly Emperor, stating that Wei Lingyue had exceptional talent and was different from others. However, due to the deep-seated Phoenix bloodline, it was still impossible to accurately determine her potential. Therefore, Qing Huan planned to include a test specifically targeting the Phoenix's characteristics in the Mid-Autumn Assessment. However, the Heavenly Emperor felt that these questions were too simple and instructed Qing Huan to add another level of difficulty.

Meanwhile, Yan Yue recounted what he had seen and heard in the mortal realm to the Heavenly Empress, hoping she could provide him with answers. The Heavenly Empress believed that these scenes were not from the future but fragments of the past. For some reason, Yan Yue had intersected with these fragments, making his situation unpredictable.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Assessment, Yan Yue and Jing Xiu announced the rules to the disciples. Everyone would be grouped by drawing lots, with two people who drew the same constellation forming a team. Wei Jingyue intentionally switched Wei Zhi's sign, successfully forming a team with Ming Lang, while Wei Zhi and Wei Lingyue became teammates.

Wei Zhi didn't want to burden Wei Lingyue during the assessment and hoped that Yan Yue could help her change teams. Sensing Wei Zhi's concern, Yan Yue decided to teach her the "Sun Crown" technique, reminding her that it could save her life in dangerous or critical moments. As Yan Yue demonstrated the technique, Wei Zhi became fascinated and attempted to summon the Sun Crown, but ended up surrounding both of them, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

During the Mid-Autumn Assessment, the atmosphere at Bai Lu Academy was lively. The fathers of the disciples got to know each other, and Wei Lingyue's father generously gave each person ten thousand silver. Guo Shi met privately with Yan Yue, wanting to recommend a suitable candidate to be crowned as the Phoenix. Yan Yue firmly stated that the Phoenix was chosen by destiny and couldn't be determined by anyone's will.

To avoid trouble for her daughter, Gu Shi didn't bring Wei Ye to the Mid-Autumn Assessment. Yan Yue, accompanied by eighteen disciples, arrived at the hall and announced the assessment's content to the parents. The assessment would take place in an illusory tower that materialized out of thin air. The groups entered the tower one after another and were soon transported to an unknown desolate mountainous area. Yan Yue's voice echoed through the surroundings.

The tower was divided into three levels, with the first level being the gathering hall where the disciples were located. Each higher level represented a higher level of difficulty, and only by reaching the third level and passing three tests could they reach the top of the tower and be declared the winners. Although the challenges within the tower were illusory, they could cause real harm or even death. Therefore, Yan Yue distributed flight charms to everyone, allowing them to safely leave the environment by breaking the charm if they encountered insurmountable difficulties or wanted to withdraw from the assessment.

However, as soon as the assessment began, two groups chose to withdraw. These individuals were those who had received benefits from their fathers. At this moment, a senior disciple reminded everyone that leaving the forest before the incense burned out would be considered passing the first challenge, otherwise, they would face unpredictable consequences. However, the first challenge's forest was filled with dense mist, and despite walking in a large circle, everyone ended up back where they started.

Wei Zhi noticed that the senior disciple seemed somewhat strange, and she instantly realized that he was a troublemaker. As expected, the senior disciple revealed his true form and informed Wei Zhi that he was the guardian spirit of the tower, responsible for protecting the flowers and trees inside. Wei Zhi subtly tried to find out a way to leave the forest, and suddenly thought of using flight.
