The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Yongquan Forest is a resource-rich Seven Star Mirror Space.

It is said that the earth's surface is covered with countless "elemental springs," which gush out water rich in various magical energies without ever running dry. The water exhibits different colors and characteristics depending on its elemental properties.

Spring water converges into streams, rivers, and lakes, nourishing the entire space and making the plants and mirror beasts here exceptionally large, lush, and full of magic.

Moran had already read "The Complete Illustrated Guide to Magical Materials in Yongquan Forest" and knew the images, characteristics, habitats, and collection methods of the mirror beasts, plants, and minerals in Yongquan Forest by heart.

This time, she absolutely refuses to leave until she has collected all the magical materials for the Yongquan Forest!
After completing the transformation, Moran had no more scruples and walked into the depths of the jungle with his knife in hand.

*
More than a year later.

In the "Corrupted Swamp" where dark purple bubbles constantly surged, a huge, translucent, ghostly jellyfish floated slowly. Its countless tentacles, shimmering with dangerous purple light, drooped down, gently stirring the poisonous spring and drawing power from it.

The terrifying pressure of the Seven-Star Poison Mirror Beast rendered the surrounding area barren.

However, a figure disregarded this suffocating area and brazenly entered this forbidden zone of death.

After more than a year of fierce battles and training, Moran's martial arts and magic have undergone a complete transformation.

"Finally... the last one." Moran muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the enchanting jellyfish and the poisonous elemental spring beneath it.

These are the last two items she didn't collect in her "Complete Illustrated Guide to Magical Materials in the Spring Forest"—the Seven-Star Ghostly Poison Jellyfish and the springhead of the Corrupted Swamp.

Unlike when dealing with low- to mid-level star-level mirror beasts, she did not attempt to use her superior physical abilities and increasingly skilled swordsmanship for close-quarters combat.

The physical training level of the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World is not as good as Vasida's {Food Supplement Strengthening Card}, but the mirror beasts of the Three Thousand Mirror Ruins World are much stronger than Valen's magical beasts.

Although her physical abilities were already very strong, she was still a bit lacking when it came to fighting the Seven Star Mirror Beast, especially since the opponent was a poison-attribute Mirror Beast.

Their martial arts skills are also far from being able to close this gap.

Without suppressing his physical strength, relying on his martial arts skills, Moran can at most fight a five-star mirror beast to a standstill.

If one's physical strength is suppressed to the level of a middle school student's physical training genius in this world, one can at most fight against a two-star Mirror Beast.

But she also has magic!
Sensing the intruder, the ethereal jellyfish unleashed its countless venomous tentacles like lightning, and Moran immediately cast the witch's magic, Water Prison.

A dense aquatic element spread from beneath her feet, transforming into countless tentacles that tightly bound the jellyfish's deadly physical tentacles, temporarily restricting its movement.

Immediately afterwards, she used the Freeze spell, and the power of extreme cold instantly erupted, rapidly freezing the jellyfish and the large area of ​​swamp below it, further restricting its movement.

At the apprentice level, the Freeze spell can only be used to freeze ice blocks to cool off. But once you reach the fifth level, you can instantly freeze a large area of ​​water.

The ghostly jellyfish emitted a silent shriek, and a powerful mental shock and highly toxic mist suddenly spread out.

Moran was prepared. In an instant, an incredibly swift and fierce tornado formed beside her, like a greedy vortex, generating a powerful suction force that swept up all the deadly poisonous mist that had just spread into the wind. Then, under her control, she hurled it into the depths of the deserted swamp in the distance, where it was completely dispersed and dissolved.

The moment the poisonous fog was cleared, Moran cast a fifth-order electric net spell.

A massive electric net, woven from pure, violent lightning energy, crackled with a chilling sound, instantly traversing a short distance and descending with pinpoint accuracy, completely enveloping the ghostly jellyfish that was frozen in place, briefly stunned after unleashing its skill. *Zzzzzzz*
The high-voltage current raged wildly, penetrating the ice layer and directly impacting the water-rich, translucent body of the venomous jellyfish.

Lightning surged wildly within the jellyfish, inflicting devastating damage. Purple light flickered violently and erratically amidst the electric shocks, accompanied by a strange odor of burning protein.

A set of combined magic, flowing smoothly with perfectly balanced attributes, dissipated the light, and the powerful Seven Star Mirror Beast, which had been lurking in the corrupt swamp and deterred countless Mirror Explorers from facing it, had already lost its life force before it could even unleash its power.

Moran reached out and threw the entire corpse of the Phantom Jellyfish, including its core, into the Book of Cards as card-making material.

Then his gaze fell upon the still-gushing, corrupt swamp.

She wrapped herself completely in a water shield and dived into the corrupted swamp, where she found a purple, swirling stone.

The powerful mental force, like the most precise scalpel, penetrated deep into the spring, carrying out the final and most dangerous extraction—peeling away the "spring."

Springs are the most fundamental essence of the gushing elements.

The stripping process requires extremely high skill and precise control of energy; the slightest mistake could cause an energy backlash or even cause the spring to explode.

A quarter of an hour later, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, the poison elemental spring was successfully extracted and handed over by Moran to the Book of Cards as card-making material.

To prevent the world's consciousness from thinking she was ruthlessly plundering the world's resources, she created another card, {Poison Element Fountain}, materialized it, and put it back in its original place.

finished.

The venomous jellyfish's nucleus condenses, corrupting the heart of the swamp's spring.

With this, all the mirror beasts, plants, minerals, etc. listed in the "Complete Illustrated Guide to Magical Materials in the Spring Forest" have been collected!
A mix of indescribable sense of accomplishment and exhaustion welled up inside her, and only then did she have the mind to calculate the time.

"It's been...more than a year?" She paused slightly, then her expression changed. "Oh no! The National Exploration Academy entrance exam!"

She entered Yongquan Forest Sea long before her exam, and the immersive exploration made her almost forget the passage of time. Before she knew it, more than a year had passed!
"We must get out of here immediately!"

Without taking a break, Moran quickly put away the Book of Cards, determined the direction, and teleported away from the place.

Almost instantly, the surrounding scenery underwent a dramatic transformation.

The dense, toxic fumes were replaced by fresh air, brimming with life and natural energy.

What lay before me was no longer a filthy swamp, but a dreamlike scene.

The branches, leaves, and even the drooping vines of the trees seem to be sculpted from the purest crystal. Under the sliver of light filtering through the gaps in the canopy, they refract a mesmerizing halo of seven colors. A delicate, crisp sound, like the tinkling of wind chimes, floats in the air—the sound of energy flowing naturally among these crystalline branches and leaves.

Once Moran confirmed that the surrounding area was safe and no one was around, she removed the effects of the potion and reverted to her appearance as she was in this world.

After tidying up his slightly damaged but still relatively clean clothes, he took a deep breath of the pure energy of this area before heading towards the oldest and largest crystallized tree in the center of this Crystal Forest.

It is one of the fixed exits of the "Springing Forest" mirror space. (End of Chapter)
