Chapter 61 The testing personnel gasped.
84%1 +13 Before this, the highest recorded mental power score was only 16, while the upper limit of the device was close to 300. Who would have thought that this machine would be pushed beyond its limits and becparalyzed? Inside the testing room, Nyx was completely absorbed in the gwhen suddenly everything went black, as if someone had abruptly pulled the power cord on her computer when she was a child.
She was startled and almost fell off her chair.
As soon as she took off the helmet, she heard a loud, chaotic noise coming from the equipment connected to the staff on the other end, like a crowd of people running and shouting.
On the other end of the line, several staff members were in a heated argument over what happened.
Most of them insisted it was a machine malfunction.
Even though they hadn't found anything wrong with it earlier, how could a female's mental power possibly exceed the detection range? "No female could have that much mental power! It has to be a malfunction somewhere!" "We should recalibrate the machine!" "I agree, it's the machine!" "The data from just now must be wrong; we have to discard it.” "I knew it! There's no way there could be an SS-level female." "Let's retest." Convinced it was a machine error, the earlier excitement had all been for nothing.
Only the staff member responsible for Nyx's test insisted, "I don't think the data is wrong!" But he was just one voice, and he couldn't argue with so many colleagues.
The commotion attracted Felix, followed by the testing center's highest-ranking administrator, who had been chatting with him.
"What's going on?" the administrator asked the staff.
The staff members were all red-faced, talking incoherently, still clearly agitated. "The machine malfunctioned." 'A machine malfunction? Then why were they so worked up?' Felix frowned and looked at the staff member who had been testing Nyx. "What happened? You tell me." Honored to be addressed directly by Felix, the staff member eagerly recounted what had just happened.

Hearing that Nyx's mental power might have exceeded the equipment's capacity, the administrator was shocked.
He was stunned for a good half-minute before he cto and quietly conferred with Felix.
With the machine broken, a retest was necessary to satisfy everyone.
84% But if Nyx's mental power truly was beyond the equipment's limits, using another machine wouldn't yield different results.
Even if they retested, they should use a different method.
"Bring out the Sacred Crystal,” the administrator ordered his subordinates.
Sacred Crystal Resonance was the Empire's oldest method for testing mental power.
The Sacred Crystal was a special crystal mined from the Holy Ground. A female's mental power could resonate with it, causing the normally dim crystal to glow. The brighter the glow, the higher the mental power.
Before the Empire had advanced technology, mental power testing relied on these crystals. The drawback was that it couldn't quantify mental power with numbers, and the ratings weren't precise, so it was gradually phased out after testing equipment was invented.
Now, the testing center had no choice but to bring out the long-unused Sacred Crystal.
Nyx had sensed something was wrong the moment the machine crashed. Sure enough, when she heard she needed to be retested, she felt a wave of despair. 'Do I have to go through that tedious gagain?' Felix reassured her gently. "This twe'll use the Sacred Crystal to test you. There definitely won't be any more problems." Before Nyx could ask what a Sacred Crystal was, she saw the Sacred Crystal and was speechless with surprise.
It was a huge crystal ball.
Taller than she was, with a smooth, clear surface, it seemed to have no impurities or flaws.
'Is this thing really natural?' she thought.
Seeing her staring intently, Felix guessed she liked it and said, "I have one in my private collection. I'll find it for you when we get back." Hearing this, the staff members were astonished, looking at Felix in utter disbelief. 'Is this really Marshal Lane? Or is someone impersonating him? When did the Marshal start trying so hard to please a female? He is casually offering a priceless treasure like a Sacred Crystal!' Nyx quickly shook her head, refusing.
Such a valuable item should stay safe in Felix's private collection "Can we start the test?" she asked the staff, changing the subject.
The staff members snapped back to attention and quickly nodded. Nyx walked towards the Sacred Crystal with curiosity.
+13 2/4 Exclusive Profile Badna 08:23 Fri, Feb 14 u Chapter 61 3 84% As she approached, even before she reached out to touch it, intense mental fluctuations began to resonate with the crystal. The crystal lit up, like ripples spreading across a clear pool, a hazy glow gradually spreading outward from its core.
The staff held their breath, silently recording the scene, not daring to disturb it.
+13) Most ordinary females could only cause a weak reaction in the Sacred Crystal, emitting a faint, firefly-like light that quickly disappeared.
Only S-level females could truly make the Sacred Crystal glow brightly over a large area.
According to imperial historical records, the strongest S-level female in terms of mental power made the Sacred Crystal shine like a lamp, shocking the entire empire at the time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd now, witnessed by many eyes and recorded by professional equipment. Nyx raised her hand and gently touched the Sacred Crystal.
In an instant, the entire room was brightly lit.
It was as if the sun had fallen to earth, a scorching, dazzling light erupting from within the Sacred Crystal.
In every corner of Central Planet, countless people looked up and saw an unknown, intense light emanating from the mental power testing center, turning it into a beacon. The light was brilliant and scorching, as if it could pierce through all haze and illuminate every darkness.
Caught off guard, everyone shed involuntary tears, feeling dizzy and unable to look directly at the dazzling light. But Nyx, at the center of the light, didn't feel the slightest discomfort, only a bright and warm sensation around her. Her soul form involuntarily emerged from her palm, just two pitiful little leaves, yet swaying vibrantly. The light of the Sacred Crystal intensified even further.
Nyx amusedly manipulated her soul form, twisting it left and right.
The light of the Sacred Crystal flickered slightly with the rhythm of the little sprout.
After playing for a while, still not hearing any further instructions from the staff Nyx\finally couldn't help but ask, "Is the test over?" Turning around, she discovered that everyone behind her had somehow knelt down in unison.
Even Felix couldn't resist and was kneeling on one knee, his noble head lowered.
Nyx was stunned in surprise.
On StarNet, there was a flurry of discussion.
