Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 335

Master Murong frowned slightly.

He didn’t know Ye Shaohua’s exact strength, but she had only started learning alchemy at age thirteen and had been a top-grade Mystic Tier Alchemist for just three years. Such talent was far beyond ordinary!

So, even if her strength wasn’t quite on par with Wan Ling’s, her score shouldn’t be lower than hers.

Meanwhile, the brown-haired boy watched as Ye Shaohua and Bai Ziyun went for their tests, muttering to himself. Their aptitude probably wasn’t as good as his. Although he was only at the fourth rank, he was only seventeen this year, which was why his evaluation score was 72.

He estimated that Ye Shaohua and Bai Ziyun’s scores would likely fall between 68 and 70.

Bai Ziyun had already placed his hand on the Mother Stone.

Almost everyone in the square was captivated by Gao Hong and Wan Ling, paying no attention to Ye Shaohua and Bai Ziyun, who were about to be tested.

Among the crowd, Fu Xue looked at Ye Shaohua, a faint smile gracing her lips. “Ye Shaohua, I bet you never expected someone like Wan Ling to appear.”

Ye Shaohua’s talent might have been enough for the Alchemy Hall to accept her, but with Wan Ling here, the next Hall Master definitely wouldn’t be Ye Shaohua. That was just perfect.

Right at that moment, the Mother Stone suddenly erupted with an orange glow, more intense than anything seen before!

“Bai Ziyun! 71st-level Mystic Qi Practitioner! Comprehensive Score: 97!”

The smiling face of the Profound Hall Master suddenly stiffened. He stared blankly at the blue-robed young man standing before the Mother Stone.

The people in the square, who had been quietly watching, swiveled their heads in unison, their gazes fixed on Bai Ziyun in stunned disbelief.

97!

The elder in charge of the examination was stunned for a long moment before he finally took a deep breath. A genius scoring above 90 hadn’t appeared in over a thousand years. As an elder, he revealed his first genuine smile. “Excellent. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you are certainly first place. You may return now.”

Bai Ziyun didn’t leave. He just shook his head with a light laugh and looked towards Ye Shaohua. “The first place won’t be me.”

The elder, initially thinking, ‘How could you not be first with such prowess?’, followed Bai Ziyun’s gaze to Ye Shaohua.

By now, Ye Shaohua had already placed her hand on the Mother Stone.

“Ye Shaohua! 44th-level Mystic Qi Practitioner! Comprehensive Score: 91!”

Although her Mystic Qi level was four ranks lower than Gao Hong’s, her comprehensive score was a full nine points higher!

The elder was stunned again, though having witnessed Bai Ziyun’s result beforehand, he wasn’t as shocked by this display of potential. He smiled at Bai Ziyun, “Ye Shaohua, 91 points, also at the 44th level. Her potential isn’t as…”

Before he could finish saying “isn’t as good as yours,” the Mother Stone lit up once more.

This time, however, it was an overwhelming, pitch-black radiance.

“Ye Shaohua! 61st-level Alchemist! Comprehensive Score: 100!”

Orange light had historical precedents, but black light was something never before recorded in history!

Among the over two thousand people present, the brown-haired boy’s wooden test token clattered to the ground. Even the greatest existence atop the tower on the opposite side of the square, the most revered figure in the Holy City, now wore an expression of sheer terror at the sheer horror of this orthodox score and strength!

Even Master Murong was frightened by Ye Shaohua!

Just before coming here, she was still at the peak of top-grade Mystic Tier, barely touching Earth Tier… How… How had she suddenly skyrocketed to Heaven Tier?!

In short…

Ye Shaohua, who had been dismissed as trash and cast out by the Profound Sect three years ago, had returned after three years and erupted onto the scene, shocking the entire continent!

In the crowd, Fu Xue watched as Ye Shaohua and Bai Ziyun were swarmed by admirers, her eyes burning with jealous resentment. When she had first returned to the Holy City, its inhabitants, knowing she was the Fu family heir with the medicinal cauldron, had treated her with some friendliness, which had flattered and thrilled her.

Yet… compared to the treatment Ye Shaohua received now—the profound respect and awe these Holy City people showed her—it was nothing Fu Xue could ever hope to match.

Fu Xue pressed her lips together, feeling disheartened and lost.

Why? Why was it that Ye Shaohua, who originally possessed only Earth Soul aptitude, had transformed in just three years into someone even the Holy City regarded with caution?

Now, any regrets were useless. Seizing the moment while Ye Shaohua was distracted, Fu Xue quietly slipped away from the square.

After the Fu family learned she had offended Ye Shaohua, they abandoned her, refusing to help repair her cracked medicinal cauldron.

Fu Xue’s strength dwindled day by day.

Finally, she became an ordinary person and was expelled from the Holy City.

Many years later, she returned to the Profound Sect, the place where her journey had begun.

The imperial city was heavily guarded this time. Hunched over, she tried to reach her village before nightfall when she unexpectedly saw a majestic procession approaching. She stared blankly at the stunningly gorgeous man and woman standing atop a twelve-ranked Flame Beast, their splendor so overwhelming it was hard to look directly at them.

“You lowly wretch! Get out of the way! Don’t you dare disturb the two Hall Masters!” A city guard kicked her squarely into the grass outside the city gates.

Then, he bowed his head respectfully, waiting for Ye Shaohua and Bai Ziyun to pass.

Fu Xue looked down at her own wrinkled, brownish skin and buried herself deeper into the grass.

Only after the procession had departed did she hesitantly emerge from her hiding spot.

“Still not moving?!” a city guard barked, raising his weapon threateningly. Fu Xue scrambled away in a panic!

[Ding! Main Quest completed: Reach the Pinnacle of the Continent. System reward: 2000 points!]

[Ding! System 008 at your service. 2000 points have been credited. Clone has been left behind. Initiating world departure!]

Amidst the crowd, Ye Shaohua tilted her head slightly and looked at the person beside her, silently forming the words, “Goodbye, Bai Ziyun.”

**

Ye Shaohua opened her eyes, squinting as a beam of light stabbed into them. The air around her was thick with a stale, rotten smell.

It was deeply unpleasant.

Once her eyes adjusted, she realized the light source was the computer monitor in front of her, casting a pallid glow in the deep night.

She turned her head to look around. Several takeout containers and three instant noodle cups sat on the desk, emitting a sour, spoiled odor.

The owner seemed to be a serious shut-in, not even bothering to take out the trash.

The air felt sticky and disgusting, and she could occasionally spot small black insects hovering over the food containers.

The “di-di” sound of a penguin avatar notification kept chiming—someone was probably trying to reach her.

Ye Shaohua wrinkled her brow. She didn’t even want to receive the plot memories right now; her only desire was to throw the garbage piled on the desk downstairs. But when she caught sight of her own hand, she froze completely—
