Omega Taming the Black Moonlight - Chapter 33

Ah, Yan Liu had certainly fantasized on her way here about what kind of glory she might achieve if her Spiritual Power proved exceptional.

As a transmigrator, she had wondered if her soul might be somehow special, perhaps granting her some kind of “golden finger.”

Now that reality was unfolding exactly as she had imagined, it still felt surreal!

The round-eyed girl, asking so softly, “Am I a genius?” was truly endearing.

The staff member, who had initially been distressed about the ruined testing machine, couldn’t help but smile at Yan Liu’s timid yet barely concealed joy.

“Yes, congratulations, young lady. To make this machine break down so decisively, based on my experience, your Spiritual Power is at least A-Class, with an 80% probability.”

A-Class was already exceedingly rare among ordinary people.

Most geniuses were A-Class.

An Omega of this caliber, as a Healer, could specifically heal nearly all high-ranking Alphas.

Realizing this, the staff member’s gaze toward Yan Liu instantly warmed with newfound enthusiasm.

“Come, come this way, into the other room. The equipment there is better suited for your Spiritual Power assessment.”

The staff member didn’t even bother cleaning up the broken machine, immediately guiding Yan Liu to another room to retest her Spiritual Power and confirm her suspicions.

Yan Liu: “But this… it just broke. Do I need to pay for the damages?”

The staff member waved her hands dismissively. “No, no. It was my fault.”

If a true Omega genius had emerged under her watch…

Oh my god, I can’t even imagine how big my year-end bonus will be!

The thought made the staff member’s lips stretch into an uncontrollable grin.

In the new room, Yan Liu followed the same procedure as before, forcefully channeling her Spiritual Power into the machine.

The staff member held her breath, her eyes glued to the screen, not daring to blink.

As the line representing the numerical value soared to A, she began pinching her thigh, her grin widening again.

When the line approached S, the staff member froze, holding her breath as if afraid to disturb the birth of a peerless genius.

Truth be told, in all her years working here, she had never witnessed an S-Rank talent emerge under her supervision.

Geniuses usually reveal their potential at a very young age.

Those who didn’t need to wait in line for testing here were typically discovered by teachers and elders at school.

Yan Liu’s case… was so rare it was almost unheard of.

An adult, a wild S-Rank Omega Genius who had just turned eighteen, actually coming to the testing center of her own accord.

The air hung in silence.

The numerical readings on the machine finally stabilized.

The staff member slapped her thigh, her voice rising sharply with excitement.

“Fantastic! S! It’s really S! An S-Rank!”

When the staff member looked up at Yan Liu again, her eyes couldn’t conceal her admiration and envy.

“Wait a moment, please. I need to register you properly. The Alliance will grant you a Genius Support Award.”

“Also, we have an expedited application process for Healers. Normally, Omegas need to go through a lot of tedious procedures to become Healers, but with your Spiritual Power, I can simply open a green channel, upload your readings, and you’ll be approved immediately.”

“Ms. Yan, would you like to apply?”

Now that Yan Liu had been recognized as a Genius, even the staff member’s address had changed.

Previously, she had called her “young lady”; now it was “Ms. Yan.”

“What’s the point of becoming a Healer?” Yan Liu asked.

The staff member paused, then patiently explained.

“Ordinary Healers typically hold low status because they can only treat low-ranking Alphas, resulting in meager commissions. But Ms. Yan, you’re different. As an Omega with S-Rank Spiritual Power—and, according to this report, possessing an exceptionally compatible affinity—your Spiritual Power can harmonize with nearly all Alphas.”

As the staff member spoke these final words, their expression turned fervent.

“Do you realize what this means? It means you’ll be highly sought after by the Alliance’s elite Alphas!”

The Alliance has no shortage of warriors, but it desperately needs high-level Healers who can mend the damaged Spiritual Bodies of these warriors. This isn’t something any random Omega can accomplish.

“Moreover, since you haven’t officially become a Healer yet, we can encrypt your file. When you’re ready to accept healing assignments, you can manually reveal your identity.”

Yan Liu listened intently, her delicate features showing a hint of uncertainty.

“What about the salary?”

The staff member paused, realizing the young woman might be financially strained and thus particularly concerned about compensation. They decided to be straightforward.

“Healing an A-Class Alpha earns at least 30 million Star Coins per year. Given your potential as an S-Rank Healer, you could typically serve at least ten Alphas annually…”

Yan Liu’s mind raced, calculating rapidly.

At least ten clients a year, each paying thirty million…

Ah, so much money!

Even though her account already held ten million Star Coins transferred by Ji Yilian, and she had unlimited access to Ji Yilian’s funds, this was different!

This was money Yan Liu would earn herself!

It held immense significance!

The Omega’s almond-shaped eyes glistened with determination. She slammed her small hand on the table.

“Sign! I’ll sign the contract right now!”

She would become a Healer!

She would become the most powerful Healer!

She would make Ji Yilian look up to her in admiration!

The staff member swiftly presented the contract, bowing respectfully. “Please review the terms carefully. If you have any concerns, please raise them immediately. We can contact the relevant departments to make online revisions until you’re completely satisfied.”

Yan Liu began reading with meticulous attention.

Twenty minutes later, Yan Liu’s Smart Brain displayed her Alliance-certified “Healer” status.

The gilded letter “S” stood out prominently, marking her distinction from other Healers.

With this certification and her existing experience, she could even register as a part-time lecturer at Tianyi Academy, earning the title of honorary lecturer.

If she gained further renown in the healing profession, she might one day become the Dean of Tianyi Academy.

Yan Liu stared at the certification for a long time, her eyes growing tired, yet her steps quickened with excitement.

She felt a genuine connection to this world, the ground beneath her feet solidifying.

Only now did Yan Liu truly exhale, feeling a spark of life return to her.

She wasn’t relying on anyone else; she could live in this world through her own merit.

As for winning over Ji Yilian, she would proceed at her own pace.

First, she needed to live “Yan Liu’s” life to the fullest.

The original host, who had devoted her entire heart to Green Plum since childhood, willingly sacrificing her own future.

Once timid, cowardly, and introverted, afraid to venture toward the light.

But now that Yan Liu had arrived, now that she had become that “Yan Liu,” she would dare to stand where the light fell.

She would see exactly how she differed from Ji Yilian.

She might not be an Alpha, a warrior, or any other figure of prestige, but she would be the unique Yan Liu, capable of radiating her own brilliance.

Before Yan Liu even reached home, her System received an inquiry:

“Esteemed Healer, have you filled your healing slots for the year? Would you be willing to take on another patient?”

Yan Liu paused, considering how to respond.

Um, I haven’t even taken on a single slot yet. How could they be full?

The problem was, she was a complete novice, not yet officially appointed. She hadn’t even had time to review the Healer training notes the staff had helped her apply for earlier.

While she hesitated, the atmosphere at Tianyi Academy was tense.

Vice Dean Green Silk, a golden-haired Alpha, glared at her prized student, her eyes filled with disappointment.

“Do you realize how crucial this competition was? How could you lose to an Omega?”

“Even if you had history with that Omega, it’s no excuse for your defeat.”

“Now look at the mess! StarNet is buzzing with rumors that you faked your injury for an Omega. Do you understand how all the good reputation you’ve built up has been completely reversed by a single preliminary round—a preliminary round that barely matters!”

Green Silk spoke with harsh urgency, slamming her hand on the table in frustration as she addressed Ji Yilian.

“I told you eight hundred years ago to stay away from that Omega! You’re destined for greatness, and you can’t afford to leave any vulnerabilities. You need to cultivate connections with those who are climbing the ladder!”

“Have my words been falling on deaf ears? Or do you think the Alliance can’t do without a genius like you? Just because you’ve been to the Abyss and can single-handedly wipe out Insectoid squads, you think you’re invincible now? That you can defy the Alliance’s demands?”

“Two fists can’t fight four hands! Besides, you know better than anyone the extent of the damage to your Spiritual Body. Without an S-Rank Healer to help you, how long do you think you can last?”

“Once we can’t find an S-Rank Healer with compatible Spiritual Power, and your Spiritual Body withers away, do you really think you’ll still be able to fight in the Abyss?”

Green Silk’s voice grew increasingly furious.

Ever since she discovered Ji Yilian’s Talent years ago, helped her awaken her Spiritual Body early, and guided her through the trials, Green Silk had poured her heart and soul into nurturing her disciple.

Knowing Ji Yilian’s stubborn nature, Green Silk had mostly turned a blind eye to her occasional secret exchanges with Yan Liu, dismissing them as insignificant.

After all, in her eyes, that little girl Yan Liu was destined to part ways with her disciple eventually.

Green Silk had always been an excellent judge of character. Ji Yilian, with her unwavering dedication and exceptional combat talent, possessed all the qualities of a future powerhouse.

Yan Liu, on the other hand, was so timid she couldn’t even meet people’s eyes. How could someone who only dared speak to Ji Yilian from the shadows ever accompany her disciple to the dazzling heights of her future glory?

As Ji Yilian grew more accomplished and experienced, Yan Liu would inevitably be left behind. The gap between them would widen into an unbridgeable chasm, even without Green Silk’s intervention. Eventually, Yan Liu would fade from her disciple’s life, perhaps even silently and unnoticed.

Yet Green Silk never imagined Yan Liu would gamble everything by entering the Arena Competition.

And then, against all odds, Yan Liu awakened her Spiritual Body, coincidentally became Ji Yilian’s first-round opponent, and even seized the opportunity of Ji Yilian’s old injury flaring up to defeat her!

Each of these improbable events, individually unbelievable, had converged to create this chaotic situation.

“Yilian, are you listening to me?” Green Silk asked, her voice tinged with anger and helplessness.

Ji Yilian remained silent, her entire being like a lifeless ice sculpture, not uttering a single word.

She didn’t even lift her head in Green Silk’s presence, her dark eyes veiled by a thick, impenetrable mist.

The sight of Ji Yilian in this state always gave Green Silk a headache.

How could someone so young be so stubborn?

Clutching her forehead, she sighed heavily. “In any case, from today onward, you are forbidden from seeing that Omega again.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the office door swung open. Green Silk’s trusted assistant, who had been working with her for years, quietly poked her head in and whispered, “Dean Green Silk, a new S-Rank Healer has arrived at the local Healer Registry!”

Green Silk’s eyes lit up.

“A new S-Rank?! Has she filled her healing slots for the year? Have you contacted her yet?”

“Contact her immediately! Secure a slot!”

Green Silk rushed to the door, her voice urgent.

S-Rank Healers were priceless and nearly impossible to find.

Both she and her apprentice had ventured into the Abyss, their Spiritual Bodies severely damaged by Insectoid contamination.

If an S-Rank Healer could purify and heal their Spiritual Bodies, they would no longer have to fear their Spiritual Bodies going berserk after returning from the Abyss.
