The final month flew by. With Instructor Li Qiongtian's help—all within the rules, of course—Zhang Yi successfully obtained all the Points from the daily training regimen. He also won every single weekly arena battle assessment, earning another 2,000 Points. However, during the third week's arena battle assessment, Zhang Yi happened to be matched against Wan Hua. As a result, Zhang Yi won the 500 Points for that week's arena battle without losing a single soldier.
As for the random missions, Zhang Yi accepted one team-based random mission and also completed a solo mission to explore a plane. The team-based mission was meant to cultivate synergy between Zhang Yi, Hong Tianyi, Wan Hua, and the others. The solo mission, of course, was for Zhang Yi to earn more Points.
In early March, the month-long provincial exam finally came to an end after the last round of arena battles. In the end, only forty-eight students remained—two fewer than the fifty Zhang Yi had predicted.
