85: Jiang Mu was extremely excited. [Fallen Black Robe] and [Hand of Plunder]

After bidding farewell to Luo Ningyan.

Jiang Yuan returned to his aunt's home.

Before even entering the door, he sensed the auras of some powerful individuals nearby, who should be people from the Patrol Division.

Yan Runan seemed to have indeed kept her promise with him and protected the safety of his aunt's family.

Pushing open the door.

"Pop!"

The confetti cannon exploded, and ribbons fluttered.

"Brother Yuan!!"

Mo Xixi pounced over, throwing herself into Jiang Yuan's arms, and shouted excitedly, "How does it feel to be the national top scorer?"

Tao Yufeng and Mo Lingfeng held party poppers in their hands, looking at Jiang Yuan with smiles all over their faces.

"Brother Yuan, congratulations! We already know." Mo Lingfeng sighed with emotion, "First place in the College Entrance Examination, I really didn't dare to even think about it."

"You child... you've really brought so much honor to us! Smoke is truly rising from our family's ancestral tombs." Tao Yufeng had tear blossoms in her eyes, her voice tinged with a cry, "If your parents knew, who knows how happy they would be."

"Aunt, Uncle..."

Jiang Yuan scratched his face, "Is there any need to make it so grand?"

"What are you saying, silly boy? This is the top scorer of the College Entrance Examination, number one in the country! If Young Miss Yan hadn't persuaded me, I would have wanted to hang a banner so that everyone in the entire residential area would know." Tao Yufeng said while wiping the corner of her eyes.

Jiang Yuan looked at Yan Runan walking out of his room, a head full of black lines,

"Why do you appear here so matter-of-factly?"

"Didn't you ask me to help take care of your aunt's family? I've been protecting them seriously."

She said with a straight face, leaning close to Jiang Yuan's side, and whispered:

"We made an agreement, you can't go back on your word. College Entrance Examination top scorer."

"Alright, I promise to join Divine Martial University, okay?"

"Great, credits secured. Junior, hurry up and call me Senior Sister to hear."

"..."

Evening.

The excited and happy aunt's family prepared a grand celebration ceremony for him, and the dishes were incomparably sumptuous.

Yan Runan also joined in.

Uncle Mo Lingfeng took out fine wine stored for ten years, pulling Jiang Yuan and Yan Runan together to toast and exchange cups.

Tao Yufeng laughed and cried at the same time, wanting to call Jiang Yuan's parents on the spot to broadcast the good news, but crying and laughing on the phone, unable to even speak clearly.

Leaving Jiang's father and Mother Jiang completely baffled.

After being hung up on by Tao Yufeng.

Mother Jiang perplexedly called Jiang Yuan, asking him what had happened.

Jiang Yuan came to the balcony, leaning on the railing and letting the wind blow, "It's nothing, it's just that my aunt drank too much."

"Is that so? Brother Yuan, have the College Entrance Examination results come out? How did you do?" Tao Chunru's voice was somewhat nervous.

"They're out."

Jiang Yuan smiled brightly and said, "Mom, I got first place."

The other end fell silent for a few seconds, and Tao Chunru's cautious yet hiddenly joyful voice sounded,

"Fi-, First place? First place in the class? Brother Yuan, you aren't trying to trick Mom, deliberately making me happy, are you?"

"Why would I trick you, and it's not first place in the class, I got first place in the country. Didn't you see my name in the number one spot on the points leaderboard?" Jiang Yuan looked at the night sky and smiled.

Long silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mom? Are you listening?"

"Hiss..." The sound of a sharp intake of breath came over, and Tao Chunru's incredulous voice rang out,

"That person is really you?!"

"You really got first place!"

"Wait, wait!"

"In other words..."

"The n-, national top scorer is my son?!!"

"Yeah, how is it? Your son is awesome, right."

"Awesome, awesome, truly so awesome!!" Tao Chunru's tone was incomparably excited, "I'm not dreaming, am I?!!"

"Don't be too excited."

"How can I not be excited, you brat!! How did you secretly hide it from us without a sound and become the provincial, no, national number one? Are you still my son?"

"Authentic and genuine. Hey, isn't this to give you a surprise."

"I still can't believe it... Does your dad know?"

"I sent him a message. Right, tomorrow I'll go to Beijiang City to pick you up."

"Mhm... Okay... Travel safely..."

The phone call hung up.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the night sky, leaning his back against the railing, letting the night breeze blow, and saw Mo Xixi dancing excitedly on the sofa indoors, as well as the happy smiles on his aunt and uncle's faces.

A trace of a smile couldn't help but appear on his face as well.

The long-lost peace without Vicious Beasts disturbing him also made Jiang Yuan's heart tranquil and relaxed.

On the other side.

The nurse dormitory of Beijiang City First Hospital.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Chunru looked at Jiang Yuan's photo on the internet, pacing back and forth with excitement and agitation, constantly muttering in her mouth: "My son is number one in the country... My son... Brother Yuan, he is number one in the country...?"

Indescribable emotions surged within her chest,

Crystal-clear tears slid across her cheeks.

She covered her face and wept for joy, letting out bursts of sobs.

Almost nothing could make parents more joyful and excited than hearing this news.

After the celebration ended.

Yan Runan bid farewell and left.

In the middle of the night.

After replying to the congratulatory messages from Ji Feiyue and Xu Yihan, Jiang Yuan stayed alone in his long-lost room, organizing the harvests and gains from this College Entrance Examination.

It was simply too bountiful, to the extent that even the System backpack was packed to the brim.

"Let's check what was obtained after killing the Yin Lord Clone first."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself and checked.

[fallen black robe] (Dark Gold Grade): HP +300, Defense +300, Strength +50, Speed +100, Dark Attribute Elemental Resistance +50. After equipping, one can freely transform their appearance, and even allow the wearer to freely transform into someone else's appearance.

Effect: Conceal form and hide aura. When you are situated within the darkness, you are a part of the darkness.

Rank Requirement: None.

[Hand of Plunder] (Exclusive Skill): The materialized ability of the Rules of Darkness. It can ignore Rank and forcefully plunder all belongings on the target, including skills and talents.

Note: The greater the Rank difference with the target, the higher the failure probability. Likewise, the higher the Luck value, the higher the success probability.

Cooldown Time: 24 hours.

[Taboo Fragment]: Contains the power of the Abyss Origin, an unknown fragment involving the forbidden Domain. What will happen after gathering ten pieces, not even the gods know.

[awakening stone]: A one-time item. After use, there is a certain probability of Awakening a second talent. It is recommended to use it after maximizing luck. Do you want to use it now?

"An awakening stone that can awaken a second talent—to think that such a good item could actually drop. You can't even buy it on the market with money."

Jiang Yuan smiled brightly.

Whether it is the [fallen black robe] or the [Hand of Plunder], both are undoubtedly of immense use.

Directly click to learn and equip.

"Next is..."

Jiang Yuan flipped his hand and took out the mysterious treasure chest gifted by Bai Huang.

[Open?]

"The reward for being number one in the country shouldn't be too disappointing, right."

"Open."
