Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with coldness.

Ling Yi poured a glass of water, and with a flick of his hand, the glass of water flew towards Mu Shengyuan.

Mu Shengyuan reached out to take it, but the moment he reached out, that familiar slowness reappeared, only to disappear again in an instant.

Mu Shengyuan caught the water glass steadily, his gaze towards Ling Yi deepening.

"Drink your water and leave," Ling Yi said indifferently. "I don't have time to entertain you."

Mu Shengyuan met Ling Yi's cold gaze, smiled, and drank all the water in his cup: "Little sister Yi, don't be angry. I was just satisfying my curiosity, I didn't mean anything by it."

Ling Yi looked at her indifferently and said nothing.

Mu Shengyuan flicked his finger and returned the cup to the table: "My curiosity has been satisfied. Don't worry, no one else will know about this."

"I'm leaving now," Mu Shengyuan said. "See you in three days."

After saying that, Mu Shengyuan opened the door and went out, and under Ling Yi's watchful gaze, he sensibly closed the door behind him.

After everyone left, Ling Yitong Tianyan said, "Thank you."

Tian Yan's gentle voice rang out: "No need to be so polite."

Ling Yi lay down on the soft couch and said casually, "If you hadn't intervened, there would have been no way to make her believe it."

Tianyan Dao: [01, You can control time.]

“Yes.” Ling Yi sighed, “They’ve all been sealed away.”

"Would you be willing to lift the lockdown for me?"

Tianyan: [I can't get something for nothing.]

Ling Yi chuckled lightly: "Then what's there to say?"

Tianyan remained silent.

Ling Yi didn't say anything more.

...

That afternoon, when Teacher Mu returned, he called Ling Yi over and told her about staying in the Dongyang Empire.

Ling Yi did not answer immediately after hearing this.

Seeing that Ling Yi remained silent, Teacher Mu continued, "Ling Yi, the teachers here in the Dongyang Empire told me that if you come to the Dongyang Empire, they will provide you with the best resources to help you cultivate."

“Teacher, I know.” Ling Yi didn’t doubt this, but she didn’t agree immediately because she couldn’t be sure.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, I will get back to you after I finish my cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Mu wanted to say something, but before she could, Ling Yi spoke first: "I want to see the results of this training before I say anything."

Since Ling Yi had already said that, Teacher Mu didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

...

Three days later, early in the morning, the first ten students arrived at Dongyang Imperial Academy, accompanied by their respective teachers.

The ten people gathered in the square, and then the teacher from the Eastern Empire led them to the place where the Dongyang Mirror was placed.

"Little sister Yiyi." Mu Shengyuan came over when he saw Lingyi: "A day apart feels like three autumns, and I've missed you terribly after three days."

Ling Yi lifted her eyelids and glanced at her indifferently: "Is that so?"

Mu Shengyuan blinked: "Of course."

"We'll be in the same place for the next ten days, no need to think about it," Ling said expressionlessly.

Mu Shengyuan said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Ling Yi stopped talking, and Mu Shengyuan also quieted down.

The group remained silent until they entered the Elder's Courtyard where the Dongyang Mirror was housed, and the silence was broken when they stood before the mirror.

The teacher who brought them said, "Next, the eight elders will open the Dongyang Mirror. After you enter the Dongyang Mirror, you can cultivate inside for ten days. When the time is up, the Dongyang Mirror will send you out."

"I wish you all the best in making the progress you desire as you go in," the teacher said. "I will wait for you outside with the elders."

After the teacher finished speaking, he looked at the eight elders who were in charge of guarding the Dongyang Mirror: "Please, elders, open the Dongyang Mirror."

The eight elders nodded, and then simultaneously sent their power into the Dongyang Mirror to activate it.

As the elders channeled their power into the Dongyang Mirror, ripples appeared on its surface. Upon seeing this, the teacher immediately said, "The entrance is open. Go in."

According to the ranking, Ling Yi is first, so Ling Yi goes in first.

Ling took a few steps forward, stood in front of the mirror, and reached out to touch the rippling surface, but her hand passed right through it.

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow and walked straight in.

After Ling Yi, it was Mu Shengyuan's turn, and the rest of the people entered in order of their ranking.

Passing through the rippling mirror, Ling Yi appeared in a space. Although it was not daytime, it was not pitch black either, but a night filled with stars.

The starlight illuminated this space.

Mu Shengyuan appeared beside Ling Yi and, seeing that Ling Yi was standing still, explained, "This is the cultivation ground. Just find any place to cultivate."

"That's it?" Ling Yi asked.

Mu Shengyuan nodded: "Little sister Yiyi, that's it."

If this place is like this, then where is the Dongyang Mirror?

Ling Yi didn't believe this place was like this and decided to go a little further away to see what was going on.

Mu Shengyuan watched Ling Yi's figure, recalling what Ling Yi had just said, and followed after her: "Little sister Yi, do you seem to think that things shouldn't end like this?"

As Ling walked, he looked around and said, "Judging from where the Dongyang Mirror came from, it can't be just like this."

Mu Shengyuan understood Ling Yi's meaning and sighed, "But the Dean of the Dongyang Empire said that this is its only function, so this is also its only function here."

Mu Shengyuan said, "Sister Yiyi, you wouldn't be thinking of using this cultivation to explore the Dongyang Mirror, would you?"

“It’s no use. People have done this before, but they found nothing,” Mu Shengyuan said. “We can’t get out of this space.”

If they can't even go out, how can they investigate?

Even after Mu Shengyuan said that, Ling Yi didn't stop and continued walking forward.

As they walked forward, the others also came in.

As soon as Lin Chengtian entered, he subconsciously looked for Ling Yi. Finding that Ling Yi was walking straight ahead, he immediately chased after her: "Ling Yi, where are you going?"

Ling turned around and saw that not only Lin Chengtian, but everyone else was looking at her too.

Ling Yi said, "This is my first time here. I'm curious and want to look around."

"You focus on your cultivation, don't worry about me." Ling Yi said, turning to leave.

But the moment Ling Yi turned around, the space trembled violently.

The tremor was so strong that the unprepared people almost fell over, but they quickly regained their balance.

"What's going on?" Li Yulin, who was also entering for the first time, asked nervously, "Why is it vibrating?"

Not only was Li Yulin nervous and confused, but everyone else also looked wary and bewildered.

"I don't know," Dongfang Jibai said in a deep voice. "Nothing like this has ever happened before!"

"Why is this happening this time?" Li Yulin became even more nervous and frightened upon hearing that this had never happened before: "Could there be something wrong with the Dongyang Mirror?"

This was the first time Dongfang Jibai had encountered such a situation, and he was unsure how to respond.

Li Yulin said, "Why don't we go out first?"
