Chapter 38: Her Talents

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qinglan moved into the best room of Mu Mansion… the room beside it, to be accurate.

She never imagined that she would one day become neighbors with Yun Yi.

When she thought about how Mu Yan and the elders had nodded hurriedly to Yun Yi’s proposal, obviously feeling flattered, she gnashed her teeth in annoyance.

Even considering that because Yun Yi was only acquainted with her in Mu Mansion, Mu Yan had arranged for them to live under the same roof…

Yun Yi had become a big shot in Mu Mansion overnight!

Creak!

The sound of the door opening and closing echoed out, and she caught sight of something white in the corner of her eyes.

Bang!

Mu Qinglan shifted her feet to close the door instantly.

Fine, they were living together! So what? Let’s see who’s the one who’s afraid!

When Mo Yu heard the bang, he looked up at Yun Yi, who had stopped walking in front of him. His heart thumped wildly in his chest, and he thought to himself, ‘Oh my gosh, that kid really has a lot of guts!’

Who dared to show such a face to Yun Yi? This kid was the first in the entire world!

Yun Yi quickly recovered to his usual self, seemingly not caring about what had just happened.

“Release news that I’m here to draw out all the remaining members of the Black Demon Sect.”

Mo Yu answered solemnly, “Understood!”

***

The majority of the people in Mu Mansion had already heard the news. The powerful white-robed youth from the other day had appeared once again! And, he was staying here this time!

The people had split opinions. Those who had seen his mighty appearance were naturally frightened. They were afraid that he would turn his anger onto them once he was unhappy to vent.

All of them were curious, but seeing how Mu Yan and the elders treated him so respectfully, none of them had the guts to ask about this matter.

For a time, Mu Qinglan’s residence was eerily quiet. Not even the shadow of another person could be seen.

This was convenient for her.

In her room, Mu Qinglan flipped her wrist and pulled out a gray-silver ball with three starbursts on it. The ball flickered quietly.

It was the Heavenly Meteor Matrix that she had bid on the other day!

Even though it looked a little worn, the surface was warm and cool to touch. The starbursts on it clearly highlighted its strength—a Level 3 star matrix!

As long as it was utilized properly, the most important thing about this star matrix was that it would withstand even a blow from an expert at the peak of Divine Psionic Realm!

The fact that she had managed to obtain this item, regardless of its sky-high price, was not in vain.

She closed her eyes and sank into her sea of consciousness, injecting Yuan Energy slowly into the star matrix.

Nothing happened.

Mu Qinglan opened her eyes and looked at the star matrix strangely. Was her Yuan Energy too weak to make it react?

She increased the amount of Yuan Energy and poured it all into the star matrix!

“Girl, it can’t be that you don’t know how to use this star matrix, right?” 

Xue You’s voice was surprised, with a hint of incredulity underneath it.

Mu Qinglan cleared her throat.

Even though she used to be extremely talented and had a high status in the main family, but it was because of this that she had never touched such things before.

Star Formation Masters were already rare enough, much less a star matrix. In the eyes of many people, although a star matrix was powerful, it had a lot of limitations. So, it was best used as a last resort to protect one’s life and not something one paid too much attention to.

The Mu family invested all their energy and efforts to nurture Mu Qinglan and her brother, and she had not thought about other things apart from that.

So, it was true that she didn’t know how to use this item.

Xue You was silent for a long time, to the point that Mu Qinglan felt the silence had become awkward, before he finally spoke.

“I thought you were a smart girl, but you don’t even… Then, why were you so desperately bidding on it?!”

“… Because I value my life.” 

Xue You was speechless.

“Looking at your reaction, you seem to know how to use it?” 

Mu Qinglan naturally wouldn’t let go of the chance she saw and immediately asked.

Xue You gave a cold snort.

“The nature of a star matrix is never only to protect your life as a last resort!”

Mu Qinglan was faintly surprised.

“A Level 3 star matrix isn’t anything great. But, there are rumors that those more powerful Star Formation Masters or Grandmasters can refine star matrices that can raise the dead, move mountains and seas. With that power, they can even stand alone against armies of ten thousand! Even I don’t know the extent of how powerful they can be!”

This girl actually thought that a star matrix was only a life-saving device? Her understanding of the weapon was just too shallow!

Mu Qinglan was stunned as she listened to Xue You’s description, and she couldn’t help but feel the emotions in her heart starting to stir. How graceful would a powerful person like that be?

Moreover, listening to Xue You’s words, he seemed to have a good understanding of Star Formation Masters…

“Were you once a Star Formation Master?” 

Xue You snorted coldly. “Impossible!” 

Mu Qinglan was speechless. She had got her hopes up for nothing.

“But, compared to you, my knowledge about Star Formation Master is considered to be a lot. Well, at least I know how to use this star matrix.” 

Mu Qinglan immediately sought Xue You’s advice with an open mind.

“Hold the star matrix in your hand and insert your Yuan Energy through the three starbursts on it. Focus your energy there and see if you can get a reaction from it.” 

Mu Qinglan did as she was told.

“That’s the core of the star matrix. If you want to activate it, you have to start from there. Then, you have to interact with its primordial spirit to get a reaction. The strength of this reaction varies from person to person. A Star Formation Master would garner a more fluent and smooth reaction and utilize a greater strength of the star matrix. As long as you can successfully activate it, you can do it too.” 

Mu Qinglan closed her eyes again and guided the flow of her Yuan Energy into the star matrix once more through the starbursts. 

The three silver starbursts flashed.

Mu Qinglan slipped into her internal consciousness and found that she seemed to have entered a gray and boundless space. A layer of dense mist covered the area, and the area was vast and indistinct.

“Girl, your consciousness has already entered the star matrix. Go ahead and have a feel. What can you sense?” 

Mu Qinglan quietly waited in the space, and suddenly, a golden starburst appeared in front of her.

Soon, another one appeared.

Then, a third one appeared.

Studying the three golden starbursts in front of her, Mu Qinglan could clearly feel the dense flow of power inside them. This must be where the power of the star matrix was contained in!

She reached out, and the three golden starbursts flew towards her fingertips, sparkling brightly. The light coming from it was extraordinarily dazzling in the obscure space she was in.

“Now, how many starbursts can you see?” 

Mu Qinglan replied, “Three.” 

Xue You was slightly astonished. This girl really was talented. She could actually sense all three of it?

“Then, how far away are you from them? Can you try to summon them or get closer to them?” 

Generally speaking, if one could summon the starbursts, it told of how easy one could use the star matrix. The closer the starbursts to one’s consciousness, the smoother one could wield the weapon.

Mu Qinglan looked at the starbursts floating around her fingertips and was a little hesitant.

“… They’re… in my hands.” 

Xue You suddenly erupted in a loud cry, “How is that even possible?!”
