Chapter 797 – Three Thousand Mirror Ruins 64

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, an official letter printed on fine paper and bearing the seal of the Alliance Department of Education appeared punctually in Mo Lan’s home mailbox, accompanied by a storage mirror accessory.

Mo Lan picked up the letter and opened it. Inside was the final transcript for the national Academy entrance examination.

Her name was printed clearly at the top, followed by the entirely unsurprising words: “First Place.”

At the bottom of the transcript was the joint magical seal of the Minister of Education and the Admissions Examination Committee.

She set down the transcript with a calm expression, turning her gaze to the storage mirror accessory.

After imprinting it with her psychic power and probing inside, she could see its contents: eighteen seven-star mirror space unlimited exploration passes, one unlimited exploration pass for the eight-star mirror space “Firmament Summit,” three million mirror coins, one hundred five-star beast cores of each elemental type, a complete set of twelve foundational body-tempering decoction ingredients, plus a reward manifest and the issuing authority’s signature — exactly as Teacher Yan Shuang had described.

These were the Eastern China Alliance’s rewards for the national top scorer.

With this, even a commoner genius with no background whatsoever would have the resources to rise.

Mo Lan’s gaze lingered for a moment on the unlimited exploration pass for Gushing Spring Forest Sea. She carefully extracted it and stored the rest of the rewards in her personal storage mirror accessory.

Without further delay, she stood and teleported to Deer Cry Middle School. Following the familiar route to Teacher Yan Shuang’s office, Mo Lan knocked lightly on the door.

“Come in.” Yan Shuang’s cool voice came from inside.

Mo Lan pushed the door open and entered.

Yan Shuang was seated behind her desk reviewing grade reports. Without even looking up, her cool voice carried a rare, barely perceptible hint of teasing: “Our top scorer has arrived!”

“Teacher~” Mo Lan let an appropriately bashful expression cross her face as she stepped forward, gently placing the newly obtained Gushing Spring Forest Sea unlimited exploration pass on her teacher’s desk. “Thank you for your pass. Now, I’m returning it to its rightful owner.”

Yan Shuang’s gaze shifted from the grade reports to the familiar yet somehow unfamiliar small mirror on the desk. Her brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. “This is… the one the Alliance awarded you? You’ve already used the one I gave you?”

As far as she knew, although Mo Lan’s previous trip to Gushing Spring Forest Sea had been quite lengthy, she hadn’t actually triggered any of those nine life-saving teleportation opportunities.

Mo Lan nodded, her tone carrying just the right amount of lingering fear and relief. “After the exam, I couldn’t resist making a trip to Gushing Spring Forest Sea. I wanted to hunt a Thunder Horned Horse as soon as possible. But my luck wasn’t great — shortly after entering, I accidentally stumbled into a migrating herd of four-star Splithoofed Bulls. I couldn’t dodge them completely and got swept up in the stampede. In the panic, I used one teleportation opportunity to escape. Fortunately, it was just a scare. After adjusting my route, I still managed to hunt down a straggling Thunder Horned Horse and extracted the Thunderstorm Trample skill.”

A flash of surprise crossed Yan Shuang’s mind. “Perfect extraction?”

“Perfect extraction.” Mo Lan met her gaze and nodded firmly, her eyes clear and confident.

Yan Shuang immediately rose from behind her desk. Without a moment’s hesitation, she decisively grabbed Mo Lan’s hand. “Let’s go! To the training ground — let’s test the skill’s power!”

Before her words had even faded, she had already used Spatial Magic to teleport them both to the training ground.

Yan Shuang walked to the control console and made several quick adjustments.

After a faint mechanical whirring, several sturdy targets clad in super-composite armor rose from the ground on one side of the training area. These targets could not only withstand tremendous impacts but were also connected to precision energy sensors capable of providing real-time feedback on the intensity and elemental properties of incoming attacks.

“Face the targets and unleash Thunderstorm Trample at full power.” Yan Shuang stepped back to the safe observation zone as she finished speaking.

“Yes, Teacher!” Mo Lan walked to the center of the training ground, holding a three-star lightning-attribute beast core in her hand. While her psychic power constructed the spell structure of Thunderstorm Trample, she simultaneously drew upon the lightning elemental force within the beast core.

Then she drew her right leg slightly back, lowering her center of gravity.

Tremendous lightning elemental force appeared instantly beneath her feet, concentrating with extreme density upon her right foot. It emitted a scalp-tingling crackling of electrical current, and one could even see blinding blue-white electric serpents coiling and leaping around her ankle.

Accompanied by a deep, thunder-like stomping sound, Mo Lan’s right foot slammed heavily onto the specially reinforced alloy floor.

Centered on the point of impact, a visible ring of violent blue-white lightning shockwaves erupted outward, carrying an aura of destruction as it expanded instantaneously to a radius of ten meters around her.

Crackle-crackle-crackle — BOOM!!

The lightning shockwave slammed viciously into the raised alloy targets, producing a deafening roar and blinding electrical flashes. Sparks of electricity exploded across the target surfaces, and fine scorch marks even appeared on them.

At the same time, the values on the energy sensor screen at the side of the training ground began jumping wildly before finally stabilizing at an impressively high figure, displaying in clear and unmistakable detail the precise data from the Thunderstorm Trample she had just unleashed.

“Excellent! Skill range, instantaneous burst power, elemental intensity, secondary effects… all identical to the Thunder Horned Horse’s signature Thunderstorm Trample skill. The only difference is that because it’s being performed by a human, it has a bit less wild ferocity and a bit more precise control. This is indeed a perfect extraction!”

Yan Shuang exported the test results from the instrument. “Excellent! I’ll use my connections and recommendation quota right now to formally submit your application to the Mirror Ruins University Youth Class!”

Mo Lan quietly followed behind Teacher Yan Shuang as they returned from the training ground to the office.

She watched as Teacher Yan Shuang, with swift and practiced movements, carefully organized and sealed into a document folder the Thunderstorm Trample skill test data report, the national top scorer certification, and a detailed personal evaluation that appeared to have been prepared well in advance.

Once everything was carefully sealed, Yan Shuang walked to the Teleportation Room adjacent to her office, placed the document folder into the mailbox, and entered a long string of mailbox identification numbers.

A flash of light, and the document folder inside the mailbox vanished instantly.

Having completed all of this, Yan Shuang had just returned to sit behind her desk — she hadn’t even had time to drink a cup of water —

“Hmmm…” The mailbox indicated that a new letter had arrived.

Yan Shuang’s eyes sharpened. She immediately reached out to open the mailbox and retrieved the letter. “It’s a reply from the Mirror Ruins University admissions office!”

She hurried to open it. Standing beside her, Mo Lan could clearly see a flash of brief delight cross Teacher Yan Shuang’s face as she read the letter.

“The admissions officer at Mirror Ruins University is very interested in you. She will come directly to Deer Cry Mirror tomorrow to conduct an in-person assessment. The focus will be on evaluating your true psychic power level and the degree of perfection in your skill extraction.”

“Tomorrow?” Mo Lan’s heartbeat quickened for just an instant, but she quickly regained her composure. She had absolute confidence in both her disguise and her abilities.

“Yes, tomorrow.” Yan Shuang stood up, her tone becoming extremely serious. “The teacher coming will certainly be an expert. Your psychic power suppression and skill demonstration must not have a single flaw. Go home and rest well. No psychic power training today — conserve your energy.”
