The test began, and it soon appeared that even hitting the moving targets would be a tall order, even for her.
Few managed to perform well, and their results showed themselves on their radiant faces, while others decided to leave despite having two more tests to take.
The Jiu Tian Sect was severe, and soon, Lyshisha's turn came, under laughs and mockeries.

The Jiu Tian Sect Network wishes to connect with you. Do you accept? |_________________________________________________________________________________________|
Her mind giving an affirmative response, she got a pleasant surprise.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Due to your royal status, the testing fee will be waived. The Jiu Tian Sect wishes Her Royal Highness good luck in the upcoming tests!

A few seconds later, the targets suddenly activated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
The test will begin in 3…2…1…
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
And as everyone predicted, she failed the first test, as expelling mana out of her palms was extremely taxing for her due to her broken sun core.
After all, how could she properly channel her energy with this defect?
___________________________________________________________________________________________
First test: 0/100. Failure. Two tests remaining.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
Lyshisha's face sank a little.
It was expected.
Now, she couldn't afford to fail the other two tests, having to ace them to compensate her pitiful performance.
Hours later, the first test ended, and those who remained prepared to take the next test as the targets on the nine platforms gave way to multiple translucent balls of energy.
Like the first time, one hundred people stepped inside each platform.
For some, it was even harder than the first test, and many found themselves lathered in ink seals, dashing their hopes away. Many exhausted their energy by creating matter walls, such protection unfortunately yielding little effect.
Dibano's Queen sneered.
As her turn came, it was her time to shine!
"This foreign queen certainly doesn't know how to give up, I'll give her that…"
"Does she love to court humiliation at every turn? I'll just wait and see if she'll have the face to stay after she badly fails this test…"
"Some people love to make a fool of themselves for the crowd to enjoy. At least those who were eliminated can feel a bit better about it knowing someone did worse than they'll ever do…"
Lyshisha stepped back on the platform and sat cross-legged at a certain distance from that mystic ball.

The young woman closed her eyes, steeled her mind.
Deep inside her inner spirit, her Moon Core glittered, ready to support her endeavors.
A thin but mighty strand of matter energy coursed through her optic nerves.
Her eyes glowed limpidly, seeing through the illusion with ease.
So the reason many failed was because the feint this ball gave, giving them a target they could detect while sending another at triple the speed to another part of their body…
Child's play!
Using a single strong matter letter, she simply directed it towards the ink projectiles with such speed that she easily destroyed them long before they reached her!
"What the fu*k?"
"Is this woman skilled in Letter Matter Techniques?"
"If that's the case, then why would she come here and not attempt to enter a Palace instead?"
"Sh*t! That wasn't listed in her personal intel!"
"How could it be, you fool? This tech hasn't been finalized yet…"
The mocking crowd grew amazed as she effortlessly passed the second test using only one abstruse matter letter to not even deflect, but destroy her targets, leaving her body pristine as she shied to her feet.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Second test: 100/100. Perfect. One test remaining.
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
Now, that's what's she wanted to see!
She had to defeat her opponent in the last test.
The question would be: who would be pitted against her?
Hopefully, she'll trample her with her Letter Matter mastery…

Hours passed, and the rays of afternoon dimmed as eventide arrived, the sparse clouds streaking the sunset sky. The once vibrant and raucous crowd had now withered into a lifeless prairie.
The young queen's turn finally arrived, and as she stepped back on the platform to meet her opponent, she spat a light gasp of genuine surprise.
Her buttery complexion never faded under the shades of twilight. Her pointy nose and tight bun brightened her flawless and alluring face. Her gray eyes gleamed with confidence, with a hint of arrogance over her thin lips curved into a small smile.
How could she not recognize Zhònghuà's Empire ravishing beauty, the Crown Princess Meihui?
How strong has she become?

Holy sh*t!
The absolute peak of the soldier rank at nineteen?
That's insane!
But that'll make the fight even sweeter, able to temper her brain matter skills to the highest degree!
"Would you look at that! A battle between the empire toppling Crown Princesses!"
"A tragic one, since one will one-shot the other… hopefully she won't make her look too ugly in defeat…"
A yellow cloak fluttering under a light squall covered Meihui's black qipao. "Greetings, Your Royal Highness. Aren't you lost by coming here?" she said with a tinkling lilt within her lower tone.
Dibano's Queen smiled. "Not at all, Your Highness. I came here to be a disciple, just like you. I hope you'll take care of me very well…" she said.
The Crown Princess chuckled. "That would assume you putting up a good fight against me. Are you sure to succeed? You can save face by leaving the stage," she replied with a pointed look beyond her.
However, Lyshisha shook her head. "How would I know until I try, especially against a genius like you?"
Meihui sighed. "Your Royal Highness doesn't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth reach," she said. "But I guess I'll show you the disparity between an unfortunate cripple and a proud daughter of heaven like me!"
A swirl of mana pooled around the Crown Princess.
