Ninth class citizen

Chapter 325 Body Shaping Success
An extremely mysterious feeling inexplicably surged into Nan Rong's mind.

She unconsciously sat down, her eyes slightly closed, her palms together, thumbs touching, forming a strange mudra she had never learned before.

At this moment, the waters of Jade Liquid Lake suddenly receded, then surged up again, tightly enveloping Nan Rong within them.

Nan Rong's consciousness floated and sank in a vortex of gold and milky white. The text in the "Theory of the Origin of the Universe" transformed into countless golden chains, compressing the energy in the Jade Liquid Lake into billions of miniature stars.

These stars slowly rotated along the tracks of the chains, gradually outlining the rudiments of her meridians and bones.

Jade Liquid Lake trembled violently, and the energy from within a hundred miles transformed into nine tornadoes that poured in, converging into a dazzling vortex above Nan Rong's spiritual sea.

The text, which had been infused with golden light, separated a strand before returning to her body, leaving a golden koi fish pattern on her brow.

Nan Rong slowly opened her eyes, her pupils sparkling like stars. With a wave of her hand, the entire Jade Liquid Lake flickered in and out of focus.

She looked down at her hands, where she saw that her new skin was as white and smooth as jade, with faint golden starlight shimmering within.

This body is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than her previous one.

With the slightest thought, the starlight that had been emanating from her body, along with the golden koi fish mark on her forehead, vanished without a trace.

The water level of Jade Liquid Lake has dropped significantly, and the ethereal white mist has thinned considerably.

Nan Rong felt inexplicably guilty. This guilt intensified when she thought about the strange beast whose soul she might have absorbed.

Fortunately, Coach Zhou didn't seem to notice the change and was much warmer towards her than before.

"As expected of Nan, who was personally selected by the Dean, she completed the body shaping independently so quickly!"

His gaze was sincere and his tone genuine, not just a polite compliment.

"It's alright." Nan Rong smiled politely. "The trial participants that Dean selected in the past all figured out how to shape their bodies on their own, without any materials or methods available?"

"Nan, don't you know that you are the only student in nearly a hundred million years to be personally selected by the Dean?"

This was unexpected for Nan Rong. Connecting this with the fragmentary information she had heard at the admissions office, her doubts only deepened.

Although Coach Zhou hadn't personally witnessed Nan Rong's physical transformation, he guessed that she had integrated a trace of dimensional luck, becoming a true lucky charm. At this moment, his mind was racing, thinking about how to get along with her.

Although the concept of luck is mysterious, the higher one's status and the stronger one's power, the clearer one becomes about the importance of luck. Given the opportunity, who wouldn't want to get a bit of good luck?

Having served as a teaching assistant under the dean for so many years, Professor Zhou's ability to read people was far superior to that of the average person. He immediately noticed her doubts and took the initiative to speak frankly and without reservation.

After listening for a while, Nan Rong summarized, "So, this selection process depends entirely on the examiner's mood. They can even just take whoever they like without making it too cruel or bloody—I understand correctly, right?"

Instructor Zhou instantly understood her meaning. But he couldn't just respond casually, because the Dean's selection exam plan was at least 80% based on the experience of his seniors, designed over many hours, including those ruthless challenges, cruel monsters, and bizarre rules—but he certainly couldn't tell the truth now.

The Dean's abilities are unfathomable, and his magnanimity is boundless. There shouldn't be any problem with him taking on such a trivial matter for me, right?
"Actually, that's not necessarily true." He subtly shifted the blame onto the dean.
"Moreover, the more people participate in the selection, the more beneficial it will be for your future mission. The Dean is actually very considerate of you." "Hehe." Nan Rong chuckled lightly: "Then the next question—what's so special about my plane that it warrants the Dean's presence?"

Not only did he organize a massive selection process, but he also impersonated someone else to become president. Not long ago, he even launched a war, clearly enjoying himself immensely, and he hasn't returned since.

"I don't know about that," Instructor Zhou shook his head and said, "What the Dean wants to do, is it any place for others to interfere?"

He thought for a moment and kindly advised, "I've been there too, and I know new recruits are all full of vigor. But take my advice, don't be too curious, especially about the Dean."

"Alright," Nan Rong interrupted him, "Now that the body sculpting is complete, is there anything else I need to do? Should I go get a mission?"

Coach Zhou slapped his forehead: "Look at my brain, I forgot about the important matter."

He handed Nan Rong a small ring: "Take this spatial ring for now. It contains the issued school uniform, as well as some materials and supplies."

Nan Rong put on the ring and took a quick look inside. She found that the room was about a hundred square meters in size. In the middle were two sets of white school uniforms, plus a hundred or so materials that she did not recognize, as well as a few weapons and more than ten small bottles containing unknown medicines.

"Was this prepared by the dean, or is it a gift from Professor Zhou?" Nan Rong already had a guess in her mind, but she still asked one more question.

As expected, Instructor Zhou readily agreed with a smile: "The Dean doesn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters. There aren't many items, so please make do with them for now. If anything is missing, you can contact me using your badge."

Nan Rong thanked him, acknowledging his kindness.

It was only when she saw the spatial ring that she remembered her solidified space.

I originally thought it would be impossible to open in the core space of the universe, but I didn't expect that not only could it be opened, but the things stored inside were not lost, and the volume has expanded from the original thousands of cubic meters to the point where you can't see the end.

Why can a solidified space expand on its own? Nan Rong thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a reason, so she simply stopped thinking about it and let Assistant Zhou teleport her into the jade mountain she had seen before.

It turns out that this jade mountain is the campus of the Cosmic Heritage Academy. The space inside the mountain is compressed to a great extent, making it much wider than it appears to the naked eye.

Coach Zhou helped her get her room card and then took her on a tour of the various areas.

"Rest well first and stabilize your newly sculpted body," he said. "You can attend the general education class tomorrow. The general education class is very important, so you must listen carefully. It's related to whether you can complete the mission in the future, so you must not take it lightly."

"What exactly is the mission?" Nan Rong asked, turning her head.

This time, Coach Zhou did not answer directly.

“You’ll understand after you finish your general education courses,” he said.

In the general education class, Nan Rong saw many familiar faces.

Catwoman Mengshan, Octopus Man Tafa, and Peach Blossom-eyed Boy Heiyar have all completed their body sculpting and are beckoning to her from afar.

Nan Rong sat down between them. The catwoman smiled and handed her a small sign, about the size of her palm, and several yellow pieces of paper with abstract runes drawn on them in bright red paint.
