The automatic door of the white commercial car slowly opened.

Yan Yimo, dressed in a white dress, quickly got out of the car. Her long hair fluttered in the morning breeze, as if she had a special rhythm.

The moment the girl walked out of the car, the surrounding students lowered their heads, as if they were ashamed of their inferiority.

Gao Haoran was no exception!

Initially, Gao Haoran was standing on his tiptoes and looking around curiously, his neck stretched out even longer than a big goose. However, for some reason, when he saw Yan Yimo, he felt inferior and subconsciously lowered his head.

“Huh?” Lin Mo did not look down, but he was aware of the abnormality around him.

The teachers in the school did not react, but none of the surrounding students could raise their heads, except for Lin Mo himself.

“She’s Yan Yimo?” Lin Mo sized her up curiously. “She seems a little strange? She exudes an indescribable feeling!”

Lin Mo could feel that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what it was.

“Eh?” At this moment, Yan Yimo also sensed something and couldn’t help but look at Lin Mo.

Her eyes were also filled with curiosity as she thought to herself, “There are actually students from Haicheng Martial Arts High School who can withstand my Group Guidance Technique? Their mental willpower is not bad!”

Then, Yan Yimo looked away.

After all, in her opinion, Lin Mo was only “not bad”. He was far from being worthy of her attention.

“Niece Yimo, you’ve worked hard!” The bald Principal Yan went forward with a smile, his attitude indescribably warm.

“Principal Yan!” Yan Yimo did not call him “Uncle”. Instead, she frowned and said unhappily, “Didn’t I say? Don’t make a big fuss!”

“This doesn’t count!” Principal Yan explained. “I didn’t even call for the television station!”

“The training room I need is ready, right?” Yan Yimo couldn’t be bothered to waste her breath and asked directly, “Also, no matter what, no one is allowed to disturb my cultivation!”

With that, he walked straight into the school.

Principal Yan hurriedly followed at the side to lead the way. He was still extremely enthusiastic and was not angry at Yan Yimo’s attitude at all.

… .

After Yan Yimo walked away, Gao Haoran looked up again.

“As expected of the eighth-ranked person on the Genius List! She cultivated as soon as she arrived. She’s really too hardworking!” Gao Haoran couldn’t help but sigh. “If I could be as hardworking as her, I might be ranked on the Genius List of Xia country!”

At this moment, Gao Haoran suddenly regretted wasting a lot of time in the past.

Lin Mo patted his shoulder and comforted him. “Haoran, there’s something called talent! Don’t worry, even if you work ten times harder, you won’t be able to get on the Xia country’s Genius List!”

“That seems to be the case!” Gao Haoran thought for a moment and his regret dissipated. “Brother Mo, Yan Yimo, who’s ranked eighth, is already working so hard. Then how involuted was Black Earth, who rushed to the second place on the Genius List last night?”

‘Involution?’

Lin Mo rolled his eyes. “Haoran, do you think there’s a possibility that Black Earth is actually lying idle every day?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Gao Haoran said without hesitation. At the same time, he did not forget to quote, “Genius is 99% sweat and 1% talent! On the path of martial arts, no one can lie idle—I, Gao Haoran, said so!”

“Alright…” Lin Mo didn’t say anything else. He just patted Gao Haoran’s shoulder again meaningfully.

He hoped that the day his strength was exposed, this nephew’s mentality would not collapse!

… .

Although Yan Yimo’s arrival caused some commotion in the school, the students in the martial arts high school were very busy, and the third-year students were facing the urgency of the college entrance examination. Therefore, not long after, not many people continued to talk about Yan Yimo.

Of course, there was no lack of idle Gao Haoran in this “few people”!

“Brother Mo, Brother Mo!” Gao Haoran held a book and ran over excitedly. “I found out!”

“What did you find out?” Lin Mo asked curiously.

“It’s why Yan Yimo is ranked eighth on the Genius List!” Gao Haoran said. “So… Yan Yimo is actually an illusionist!”

“Illusionist?” Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.

Psychic and illusionists were extremely special and rare “superpowers” among martial artists.

Both of their superpowers had activated their “mental talent”. The difference was that… a Psychic’s mental talent was in the direction of “realization”, while an Illusionist’s was in the direction of “voiding”.

Spiritual power materialized and could control physical objects, such as telekinesis. However, it could not attack the enemy’s spiritual will with spiritual power.

On the other hand, spiritual power was the opposite! Spiritual power could directly attack one’s mind and will, such as using illusions to cause hallucinations. However, spiritual power could not touch anything.

“Psychics are already very rare! This year, there are only three in the entire Xia country!” Gao Haoran continued, “And illusionists are even rarer! Yan Yimo is the only illusionist in the past five years in Xia country! If not for her being too aloof and not caring about the rankings, she would at least be in the top three of the Genius List! She might even surpass Black Earth and rank second!”

‘More than Black Earth?’

Lin Mo smiled. Even if she surpassed Ye Yi, she could not surpass Black Earth!

But Lin Mo didn’t say it. Instead, he asked, “What book did you take?”

“This is the only introductory book on illusionists in our school library!” Gao Haoran smiled. “I specially borrowed it to check if I have the potential to become an illusionist!”

“You really have nothing better to do!” Lin Mo rolled his eyes. “If you really had talent and potential in this area, you would have been discovered long ago. Why would you wait until today?”

“I’m free anyway! Brother Mo, come, let’s take a look!” As he spoke, Gao Haoran flipped through his book.

On the first page of the book was a strangely shaped colorful pattern. At the bottom were the words: Chapter 1, Illusory Visualization. If one meditated and comprehended this picture until a rumbling feeling appeared in the depths of their brain, their mental strength would successfully fade. The faster the rumbling feeling appeared, the higher the talent of the illusionist. If there was still no rumbling feeling after an hour of visualization, it was impossible to become an illusionist! (Note: Even if one’s mental strength had yet to fade, there would still be obvious uniqueness in their body. If there were no special signs, there was no need to try to comprehend this picture.)

After reading this paragraph, Gao Haoran was immediately discouraged.

‘Special features?’

‘He didn’t!’

He was the one who said, “Without any special signs.”

“Brother Mo, it seems that it’s impossible for us to become illusionists!” Gao Haoran said gloomily, “I heard that the fastest to appear and activate the illusionist talent only took three minutes! I wanted to see if we could break this record! Now it seems that there’s no hope!”

Except…

The chattering Gao Haoran did not notice that something was wrong with Lin Mo.

“BOOM!!!”

Lin Mo had just finished reading the introduction at the bottom and turned to look at the colorful pattern. After only a second, a rumbling feeling appeared in the depths of his mind.

When the rumbling subsided, Lin Mo was shocked to discover that… he could “see” his consciousness!

“This…” Lin Mo was dumbfounded. “Did I succeed in transforming my mental strength? I became an illusionist?”

Moreover, the faster the rumbling, the more talented the illusionist!

According to Gao Haoran, the fastest record previously was only three minutes of comprehension. As for Lin Mo… he couldn’t even be considered to have comprehended it, right? He had only glanced at this “Void Visualization Diagram” for a second before successfully etherealizing!

The entire process was over before even Gao Haoran noticed!

One second ended!

Really fast!

It was so fast that even Lin Mo was a little unconfident. “I’m actually a super genius in illusionists?”
