Chapter 98: The Revelation of Dual Cores

Witnessing Bai Yu’s rather dense demeanor within her mind, Moweila found herself utterly speechless. She simply could not fathom why Bai Yu’s intellect seemed to frequently falter.

[Just change your spiritual core back, you don’t need to offer any pointless explanations here!]

Moweila’s mental shout instantly jolted Bai Yu back to her senses.

Perhaps it was precisely her black hair and dark eyes that had aroused suspicion in her mother and the others.

Bai Yu began to manipulate the black hole vortex within her, transforming her hair and eyes back to their original silver-white hue.

Witnessing this transformation, Tianyu paused, momentarily stunned, before releasing Bai Yu after a brief moment of contemplation.

She remained confident that Bai Yu would not manage to escape her grasp.

“You finally believe me now, don’t you? I was merely testing a newly acquired ability a moment ago.”

Bai Yu struggled to her feet, and while she hadn’t sustained any true injury, the impact from that strike had undeniably stung.

After sensing the familiar spiritual aura, Tianyu finally relaxed. More importantly, she had also detected the secret art she had placed upon Bai Yu moments earlier.

When she had struck Bai Yu just now, she had intentionally applied a touch of force, aiming to ascertain whether the secret art she had placed on her would activate.

Evidently, the secret art had responded, confirming that the person before her was indeed her daughter.

Tianyu shook her head with a resigned sigh. It wasn’t that she was overly sensitive; rather, having just endured an impersonation, it was imperative to have several countermeasures in place.

“So tell me, what exactly was all that about?”

Tianyu countered, her voice laced with incredulity, for she had never once heard of an individual possessing two distinct spiritual auras.

Even when using an artifact imbued with a spiritual aura, two distinct auras would merely coexist; it was utterly impossible to seamlessly switch between modes, as Bai Yu had done, without any discernible leakage.

It was as if she were two entirely different people.

Bai Yu shook her head helplessly, her cowlick swaying gently as she gazed at her mother and Stella before her.

She had initially harbored no desire to reveal the existence of her two spiritual cores to anyone.

However, now that it had been discovered, there was little harm in disclosing it, especially since these were the people she trusted most.

Regarding Stella, Bai Yu felt she could, at a stretch, place her trust in her, given the deep bond of friendship she shared with her mother.

“Sigh.”

Thus, Bai Yu recounted everything to her mother, omitting only the details concerning Moweila, and specifically revealing her possession of two spiritual cores.

“Two spiritual cores?!”

Stella and Tianyu’s voices erupted almost simultaneously, both utterly stunned by this seemingly impossible revelation.

It was a widely known fact that no one in this world had ever possessed two spiritual cores.

Should this discovery come to the attention of those in positions of power and influence, it would undoubtedly unleash a tempest upon the world.

The implications were staggering, capable of almost entirely overturning the world of Arcanists.

Tianyu and Stella exchanged a profound glance, then nodded in silent agreement.

“Xiao Yu, you are not to tell anyone else about this, besides us. Do you understand?”

Tianyu now understood precisely why Bai Yu had kept this secret, realizing that Bai Yu’s actions were entirely justified. Without sufficient power, such a unique trait would only attract calamity.

“Mhm!”

Bai Yu nodded emphatically. She had never intended to tell anyone in the first place; it was only because she had no other choice this time that she was forced to speak. Honestly!

“Furthermore, do not transform into that black-haired appearance again. Should anyone else discover your condition, it will lead to immense trouble!”

Tianyu continued, and her words caused Bai Yu to grasp the implication.

If someone were to discover the presence of two entirely distinct spiritual auras, they might very well deduce something significant.

Therefore, the safest course of action was to maintain her current appearance.

Bai Yu let out a helpless sigh, realizing that her black-haired form would, for the time being, remain locked away.

Tianyu gazed at Bai Yu’s face, a peculiar sense of unfamiliarity washing over her as her daughter continued to surpass all her expectations.

Yet, this newfound unfamiliarity did nothing to diminish her profound concern for Bai Yu.

Tianyu extended her hand, only ceasing after she had applied several more secret arts upon Bai Yu.

These encompassed everything from emergency alarms to various defensive secret arts, all meticulously put in place.

This made Bai Yu feel a touch abashed, wondering if she resembled a pampered mama’s girl.

Stella, standing nearby, merely offered a discreet smile, then subtly brushed against Bai Yu before exiting the room.

Bai Yu’s face instantly flushed crimson.

Tianyu had not anticipated that Stella would dare to take such liberties with her daughter right under her very nose.

Therefore, upon seeing Bai Yu’s flushed face, she mistakenly assumed she had accidentally injured her daughter earlier.

Yet, she distinctly recalled striking Bai Yu’s rear; why then would her face be blushing?

Bai Yu offered no further explanation, instead hastily ushering Tianyu out of the room.

“Phew,” Bai Yu exhaled, finally finding a moment of quietude.

Bai Yu took a deep breath. All things considered, this latest breakthrough had proceeded rather smoothly.

However, she still had a considerable distance to go before she could gain admission to Nemos Academy.

Although Bai Yu believed her current strength would allow her to contend with Tier 4 enemies without any pressure whatsoever.

Even with Tier 4 representing a significant watershed in power, Bai Yu harbored unwavering confidence.

After all, her hundredfold spiritual power was no laughing matter, and possessing two spiritual cores meant her recovery capabilities were also doubled.

Yet, she remained uncertain whether Nemos Academy prioritized strict adherence to rules or simply evaluated combat prowess.

After all, if they genuinely refused her admission, there would be little she could do; she could hardly tear down the entire academy.

With several months remaining until the start of the academic year, she felt there was still a possibility of ascending to Tier 4 before then.

It was only then that she recalled wondering which academy Cecilia had chosen to attend, or if she was preparing to join a specific organization.

Her last passionate entanglement with Cecilia in the car had been so exhilarating that it had completely slipped her mind.

Since Cecilia had already left her family, without their support, she would have to rely entirely on herself for everything.

Seen in this light, Cecilia’s ability to break through to Tier 4 so swiftly was truly remarkable.

Bai Yu picked up her phone, sent Cecilia a message, and then her heart began to flutter with apprehension.

While she desired to attend the same academy as Lu Xingyao, she was equally reluctant to part ways with Cecilia.

Both of them were among the most important people in her life, her very wings.

“Please!”

Bai Yu prayed silently in her heart, then, hearing her phone ring, she tremblingly opened it.

The news she received instantly brought a wide smile to Bai Yu’s face.

Cecilia had directly forwarded her admission letter.

Cecilia explained that despite having left her family, they were still aware of her current circumstances.

This situation was beyond Cecilia’s control, as her family was not something she could dictate.

Consequently, the Jas Academy immediately became aware of this prodigious talent the moment Cecilia broke through to Tier 4.

They promptly dispatched an admission letter to Cecilia.

“Alright, alright, so I’m the only clown here, am I?”

Bai Yu was instantly speechless. She had been fretting over everyone else, only to discover that those around her had long since secured their arrangements, leaving her alone to overthink things.

Bai Yu’s cheeks instantly flushed a deep red, leaving her utterly at a loss for words.
