Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 672: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (21)

Chapter 672: Interstellar Decline of Imperial Rose Cannon Fodder (21)

Old Master Luo sighed when he saw the determination in his granddaughter’s eyes.

"Fine, I’ll go and fight for the internal selection quota for you right now."

"However, competing in the Dominance Tournament isn’t playing around. The internal selections have always been the strongest among the three teams or those with special skills."

"The members of the Selection Department will surely require you to prove that your spiritual power has recovered."

Luo Ning replied with a confident smile, "No problem."

After hanging up the call, Old Master Luo immediately went to the Selection Department and proposed an internal selection spot for his granddaughter.

There were actually already candidates for the internal selection spots for the three-person teams at the Military Academy.

Marshal Luo’s request took the officers of the Selection Department by surprise.

"Marshal Luo, the Universal Dominance Tournament is crucial for the Empire’s future resource reserves and power enhancement. It’s not appropriate for us to internally select Luo Ning," they protested.

This was the first time they knew that Marshal Luo could be so privately beneficial.

Old Master Luo could tell at a glance that they had misunderstood.

"My granddaughter’s spiritual power has recovered. If I recall correctly, she was on the preliminary list for the Military Academy squad’s internal selection spots over six months ago," he stated.

The three members of the Selection Department were stunned to hear this.

"What, Luo Ning’s spiritual power has recovered?"

"How is that possible?"

Before her injury, they had high hopes for her.

After all, her Double S-level talent was among the very few in the Military Academy students.

And Luo Ning was also a Mech Creator.

But who would have thought she would get injured for Ling Ge?

They had personally inquired with the main treating doctor and spiritual power experts at that time, who all said that Luo Ning’s chances of recovery were slim.

So their shock was understandable now.

Old Master Luo still wore a serious face, but a hint of a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Do you think I would need to deceive you?"

"As an Imperial Marshal, I have always put the interests of the Empire first. I’m asking for an internal selection for my granddaughter because I’d like to provide an element of surprise in the Dominance Tournament."

"You can test her spiritual power. If it doesn’t meet the standards, you won’t need to tell me—I won’t let her compete."

Seeing Marshal Luo so confident, the three selection officers believed him and even felt pleased.

The Empire already had an ace, but they didn’t mind having an additional, unexpected card.

The chief officer said, "Good, have Luo Ning come for the test now. If her spiritual power has recovered to the Double S-level, we’ll give her an internal selection spot."

Marshal Luo nodded, sent Luo Ning a message along with the location, and told her to hurry over.

Luo Ning drove her hovercar to the location and, witnessed by the three selection officers, retested her spiritual power.

She didn’t hide the fact that her spiritual power had upgraded to a Super 3S level.

Only by doing so could she apply for the best resources to rebuild her Mecha Qiangwei.

The Luo Family had limited access to materials for Mecha beyond the Double S-grade; the bulk was held in the Empire’s resource vault.

Special circumstances or military achievements were needed to trade for them. Even the Royal Family and the four Great Families didn’t have the direct authority to allocate them.

Her current situation was exactly that kind of special case.

As a result, as Luo Ning released her spiritual power, and the dial spiked continuously, surging past 2 towards 3, and finally surpassing 3, reaching the end point of the gauge.

Not only were the three attending selection officers dumbfounded, but Old Master Luo was also stunned.

He had heard from his granddaughter before that her spiritual power had increased by a level after recovering from the damage.

He had originally thought it would barely cross the Super 3S-threshold, but he didn’t expect it to rise so much. It reached the end of the testing gauge altogether.

This was now considered Super 3S-level.

This was a delightful surprise for him.

Luo Ning hadn’t tested before and only knew that her spiritual power had continuously grown recently through various refinements and potions.

She hadn’t expected such a significant increase, and she wondered if it had something to do with the overlay of spiritual power between herself and the original body.

The Selection Officer was so excited that his face turned red, "Super 3S, it’s actually Super 3S-level spiritual power."

"It’s incredibly strong, this could totally be used as a trump card," one of the assistant officers said excitedly.

Old Master Luo wore an expression of pride and smugness, "How about that? Didn’t I say my granddaughter was qualified for the assured selection?"

The three officers vigorously nodded, "Qualified, definitely more than qualified."

The lead officer immediately pulled out the list of assured selections and struck off the name of the person in the third spot.

He planned to notify them later, to let that person join the selection trials on their own.

Luo Ning caught a glimpse of the first name on the assured list: it was Lu Xun.

Old Lu was indeed back to cause a stir.

As for the second person, Luo Ning had heard of him, a very famous fellow student from another military academy.

A Double S, double-talented special recruit who managed to be top of the year every time, it was no wonder he was assured a spot.

The third was a junior under her, who, after her leave of absence, had emerged as the Imperial College’s genius female student.

Previously, she had skipped two grades and entered with excellent marks.

Perhaps it was fate, this girl was Bo Xiao’s younger sister Bo Yi.

Originally, it was her who was assured that spot, but now Luo Ning had taken it from her.

In reality, Luo Ning was just reclaiming what was hers, as she was on the preliminary selection list over half a year ago.

But given Bo Yi’s personality, she would surely hold a grudge.

Of course, Luo Ning didn’t care.

After securing her slot, the three officers vowed to keep the secret that Luo Ning’s spiritual power had not only recovered, but had also reached Super 3S level.

They also repeatedly stressed that both Old Master Luo and Luo Ning themselves should absolutely not reveal this, lest the element of surprise be lost.

After the excitement had settled, just as Luo Ning was about to leave with the others.

The lead officer couldn’t resist asking: "Luo Ning, if I may be so bold, how did you recover your spiritual power?"

And to have improved it by so much.

He added, "Each year there are quite a few officers with situations similar to yours, which is why I wanted to inquire."

Luo Ning didn’t have much to hide, as once the competition started and her spiritual power was exposed, people would naturally be curious and ask about it.

"I accidently came across some potions that nourish, repair, and enhance spiritual power, and their effects are from having drunk them."

The three officers were startled again, "Who is the master who concocted these potions?"

They had never heard of such an impressive potion master within the Empire.

Luo Ning replied, "I discovered them accidentally while exploring Ancient Earth, but I hadn’t used them until three months ago when I decided to give them a try."

The original self had indeed explored the Ancient Planet with her grandfather at age twelve.

Regrettably, four years ago, the Ancient Planet collapsed and dissipated into the cosmos.

Her grandfather also passed away two years ago.

So using that as the source, no one could verify it.

"You dared to drink it?" the three officers exclaimed in surprise.

They didn’t doubt her explanation too much.

Previously, many valuable things were indeed discovered on the Ancient Planet, including some that surpassed interstellar standards.

Luo Ning’s grandfather’s family was an Ancient Family, so taking her on an exploration to the Ancient Planet wasn’t difficult to verify as true.

She had no reason to lie.

Luo Ning shrugged, "My spiritual power was damaged to such an extent, there was hope I could recover by taking it. Not taking it would have definitely rendered me useless, so of course I had to give it a shot."

"Of course, I checked with instruments before taking it to ensure there were no problems."

Hearing this, the three officers felt it made sense, already in such a state, it was worth a gamble.

And Luo Ning had indeed gambled successfully.
