the next morning.

This morning, Wei Shenghuang was in charge of the physical training class as usual, but Leng Ran, who had received special permission from Instructor Lin, did not appear at the training ground. Instead, he went to the First Hospital of Storm Star for a physical examination.

She was greeted by Dr. Peng, whom she hadn't seen in a long time and who was also her attending physician during her two-year coma.

Leng Ran stood calmly at the door of Dr. Peng's office and knocked: "Good morning, Dr. Peng. I'm Mo Li. Instructor Lin asked me to come and see you for a check-up."

Dr. Peng took a sip of iced milk tea, quickly put the lid of the thermos back on, and set it aside.

"Come in." Dr. Peng walked up to Leng Ran, who had just entered, and looked him up and down. "I've heard from your instructor that it's really strange that you can break through twice in a short period of time. I've been a doctor all my life and I've never seen such a special patient as you."

"First, he inexplicably fell into a coma and his physique dropped to level one, then suddenly he rapidly improved and broke through one after another. It's truly amazing what you can do in this world."

"Alright, let's get your physical and mental abilities checked first, and see how your breakthrough is going." Dr. Peng turned his head and fiddled with the floating screen for a while, then pressed the communication button on the table. "Xiao Bai, come to my office."

A short while later, Xie Jingbai came out of another ward and entered Dr. Peng's office: "Master, what can I do for you?"

Dr. Peng: "Take Mo Li to get a checkup. I've already sent you the details of the tests. Have the testing machine print out a paper copy for me."

Xie Jingbai opened the tablet he was holding, pulled up Leng Ran's medical records and the list of items for this physical examination, and nodded: "We need to go to the building next door, Mo Li, come with me."

The two walked side by side down the hospital corridor when Xie Jingbai suddenly spoke up: "Mo Li, so you are Yin Yue. No wonder... you actually believed my story."

Leng Ran asked, puzzled, "What does Dr. Xie mean by this?"

"Let me reintroduce myself. I am your client, Professor Bai." Xie Jingbai turned his head to look at Leng Ran. "Do you remember the point I made to you, that 'Star Wars is not a game, but a reflection of civilizations'? You are the first person in all these years to agree with me."

Leng Ran was surprised; the world really is small.

Xie Jingbai continued his analysis: "Ordinary people would just think I'm crazy and wouldn't believe this view at all. But you agree with it and want to get more information about the hidden mission as payment for the commission."

“I have reason to believe that during the two years you were in a coma, your consciousness did not suddenly disappear, but rather entered some place in Star Wars.”

Leng Ran remained silent. Her origin from the apocalypse was her biggest secret, one that she could not reveal to anyone.

Xie Jingbai: "In that case, I'd like to make another deal with you. I'll transfer two special items that I obtained from a hidden quest to you. In exchange, I only want the answer to one question."

A glint flashed in his cold eyes. Could the special item from the hidden quest be something similar to "a fragment"?

Of course, Leng Ran was both excited and surprised. She knew that Professor Bai held a high position in the Star Wars strategy group and was a fervent fan of Star Wars historical research, but she never expected that Professor Bai would possess two special items!

The special item was very nice, but her secret was also important. After thinking for a moment, Leng Ran said, "Why don't you start by asking what questions you want to ask, Dr. Xie?"

"We'll talk about it in Star Wars tonight." Xie Jingbai paused for a moment. "I originally wanted to invite a few more experts to take on my commission, but given the current situation, there's no need to call any more people. So, do you have time?"

Leng Ran suddenly remembered Xie Jingbai's request: "I have no problem with that, but do you really want to go to Anwan Island tonight?"

"Okay. You, me, and another free helper. See you tonight." Xie Jingbai pushed open the door to the testing room. "We're here. Let's get the tests done first."

Half an hour later, Xie Jingbai brought Leng Ran back to Dr. Peng's office, where they caught Dr. Peng sneaking a drink of iced milk tea.

Dr. Peng hurriedly put down his cup and said with an awkward laugh, "You're back? Come on, let me see your report."

Xie Jingbai dutifully placed the test report on Dr. Peng's desk, then skillfully took the thermos, poured out the full-sugar iced milk tea, and replaced it with the sugar-free hot milk tea that had been prepared beforehand.

Dr. Peng pouted and muttered, "It's just once in a while, Xiaobai is so stingy, hmph."

Xie Jingbai said helplessly, "Master, you said the same thing yesterday."

"Really? Getting old and forgetful, huh?" Dr. Peng coughed lightly, turning his gaze back to the report, flipping through the pages. "Let me see what's wrong with you, young man..."

Dr. Peng quickly scanned the specific indicators of the physical and mental tests: "Hmm...the physical condition is indeed at level six, the cultivation level is very stable, not at all like someone who just broke through. Mental strength..."

"No problem, everything's normal. If you ask why I broke through so quickly, it's probably what they call talent. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious." Dr. Peng casually tossed the paper report aside. "Xiao Bai, go check on the patients in room 306."

"Okay." Xie Jingbai agreed and left without looking back.

Leng Ran also wanted to leave, but Dr. Peng stopped her: "Mo Li, stay, I have something to say to you."

Leng Ran paused in her steps: "Dr. Peng, is there anything else?"

Dr. Peng didn't answer immediately. Instead, he locked the office door, dimmed the lights, and bent down to grab something. This instantly alerted Leng Ran, whose right hand instinctively reached for Lan Yue.

“Young man, there’s no need to be so hostile.” Dr. Peng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. “Relax, don’t be a tough guy like Mo Li.”

The cold voice turned icy, and Blue Moon was already drawn: "Just who are you?"

“Just like you.” Dr. Peng calmly opened the cabinet at his feet, took out a small high-energy decomposition instrument, and then threw the paper report on the table into it.

A stack of reports was instantly broken down into invisible particles and completely disappeared from the world.

Dr. Peng, abandoning his usual carefree demeanor, said seriously, "I am the person Commander Zhao specially sent to treat you. I haven't had the chance to meet you alone before, so I haven't been able to tell you my true identity."

Leng Ran believed it to be 90%. Given Zhao Lesong's personality, he wouldn't trust an outsider to treat him while he was unconscious. After all, he had too many secrets, and it would be dangerous if the enemy got close.

She retrieved the Blue Moon: "Old sir, what's your name?"

Dr. Peng: "Lingyun soldier, codename: Divine Doctor. In normal times, please just call me Dr. Peng."

He nodded coldly: "Okay, Dr. Peng. Why did you destroy that report?"

"Because it can't be seen by others," Dr. Peng said solemnly. "I didn't finish my sentence just now. Your mental energy fluctuations are very large, and various indicators show... you've reached the edge of breaking through to level five."

Leng Ran was surprised to learn that Zhao Lesong had set up a protective shield to isolate her mental sea from detection, causing the mental level measured by the machine to always be one level lower than her actual level.

Since the machine can already detect that she is on the verge of a breakthrough, it means that her mental strength is really about to break through to level six!

“Soldiers with mental power are already extremely rare, and most have only reached level one or two, with level three being very scarce,” Dr. Peng continued. “Two consecutive breakthroughs, making you the youngest level six soldier in the Federation’s history, have already made you quite conspicuous. If your mental power breaks through again, you’ll likely attract the attention of some forces, such as the Illuminati and the Freedom Alliance.”

With a cold and deep gaze, it seemed that this "miracle doctor" was unaware of her mission in the Illuminati, nor of her true spiritual level. Zhao Lesong had only informed her of her identity as a member of the Lingyun Army.

"I only printed out the paper document. Your test records will not be kept. I will announce that your mental strength is still at level four. Be careful."

Leng Ran: "Okay, I understand."

Dr. Peng picked up a glowing pen that could write in the air and wrote down an address: "If you are injured or have other illnesses, you can come to this address to find me. Do not come to the hospital to meet me directly."

Leng Ran quickly wrote it down: "Okay, thank you for your help, Dr. Peng. Then I'll take my leave."

Dr. Peng put away the decomposition device, turned on the lights in the room, and unlocked the door: "Go on with your work, Mo Li. I hope I'll never see you again."
