Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

The glory of a perfect score was like an insurmountable peak, weighing on the hearts of subsequent contestants. Sure enough, subsequent contestants made mistakes one after another, and the judges shook their heads silently.

As the competition progressed, there was no suspense. In the end, the highest honor belonged to Li Li's team, followed by No. 7 Jiang Qiao, who was also what everyone expected.

Everyone here is a leader in their respective fields, but they can only look up to others. There is an insurmountable gap between them and some people.

Lin Dai almost screamed. It was indeed the most satisfying to win by following the giants. Lan Qi showed excitement which was rare.

The award ceremony was held immediately after the results were announced. Professor Wang personally took the stage to announce: "I declare that the champion of the 14th National Magic Innovation Competition belongs to Group . Please invite them to the stage."

Li Li and the other two stepped onto the stage, and Professor Wang continued, "The one presenting the award to them is Professor Meng Huai, a famous Dharma master in our country and an academician of the Huashan Academy of Sciences."

Oh my god! Who is Meng Huai? Who in the audience didn't know him! A well-known master in China and even in the world, a role model in the hearts of many researchers, Professor Meng Huai was invited to present the award. The applause from the audience was like a gust of wind sweeping across the roof.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, an elder slowly walked out from the side of the stage. His temples were already gray, but his temperament was as deep as the sea, as if he could tolerate everything. Everyone unconsciously fell silent.

He came to Li Li, smiling kindly, with admiration in his eyes, "Student Li, we meet again. You always bring surprises to people."

Throughout the competition, he had been hiding in the shadows and observing. When Li Li appeared in his sight, he could not help but feel a little surprised. This woman had left a deep impression on him in Qinglan College in the past. He had tried to contact her through the mysterious teleportation runes, but those letters always fell into the sea.

As Li Li's magical speech got better and better, his face gradually became solemn. He knew better than anyone that if this woman's ideas were applied to war, they would become an unmatched force!

He glanced at the man next to him and finally realized why he was invited to witness this fight.

Professor Wang's eyes widened as he stood aside. Could it be that Professor Meng Huai had known this girl from a distant place?

Li Li also remembered the elder in front of her, "Hello."

Lin Dai could no longer conceal his inner excitement. It was such an honor for him to receive an honor personally presented by Professor Meng Huai one day. This would be the pride of his life!

Meng Huai handed the trophy to them, his eyes full of expectation, "Congratulations, keep moving forward, the future belongs to you."

"Thank you."

The official media guests present pressed the shutter button to freeze the moment of handover between the older and newer generations.

As a sponsor, Junlin Group also sent representatives to present generous rewards to Li Li and her partners after she took the stage. Li Li finally revealed a smile from the heart.

"Ms. Li, could I take a moment of your time later? Our master hopes to discuss cooperation with you." Li Lin approached Li Li and suggested in a low voice.

"Of course." So eager?

After the award ceremony, the party should have dispersed as usual, but Professor Wang stopped everyone and distributed some mysterious parchments.

Everyone took it with confusion, and their eyes widened instantly. It was actually a confidentiality contract! ?

Everyone looked at Li Li in shock. Was her invention important enough to warrant such a contract? At the same time, the Jiang family also realized that behind this seemingly unofficial competition, there was actually official interference. Otherwise, the contract would not have appeared in everyone's hands so quickly.

Confidentiality agreements are not unfamiliar to researchers. They sign them skillfully and leave.

Li Li and her group were about to leave, but Li Lin was still waiting. Meng Huai sent a messenger to convey the invitation, hoping that she would meet in the conference room.

Li Li was surprised and had to let Lin Dai and Lan Qi go first. Li Lin politely suggested that they could talk again another day, and Li Li readily agreed.

Li Li followed the envoy into the conference room. In addition to Meng Huai, there was a middle-aged man with a stern face and a cold aura sitting there. Behind him stood a tall young man. Li Li took a look at him calmly and instantly understood that it was a unique majesty.

Li Li sat down with a normal expression, and the three of them formed a triangle. Professor Meng spoke first, "Student Li, it's not accidental that I invited you here. I want to hear your design concept for this competition."

"Design concept?" Li Li said fearlessly, "To strengthen our country, does that count?"

That's quite an arrogant tone, and the answer is truly heroic!

The middle-aged man stared at her like an eagle, and Li Li responded frankly with clear eyes without any evasion.

What a good kid with a pure mind! Ning Zhiyuan secretly admired him in his heart...

He exchanged a mysterious look with Meng Huai, who nodded slightly. Ning Zhiyuan then said, "Hello, Li Li. I am Ning Zhiyuan, the director of the Research Department of Imperial College. I would like to discuss with you in depth about the aircraft you created."

Li Li had expected this and responded calmly, "No problem. What do you want to know?"

"Can your aircraft adapt to large-scale military applications?" Ning Zhiyuan was always direct and didn't beat around the bush.

"Okay." Li Li's answer was concise and decisive.

Ning Zhiyuan's eyebrows flashed with joy: "Then, on behalf of the Imperial College Research Department, I formally propose to you the intention of cooperation, and look forward to your development of a new type of high-efficiency aircraft. You naturally have the right to apply for a secret patent, but it must be kept confidential. We will give you corresponding rewards and honors. In addition, you can put forward any conditions you want."

He knew that this was unfair to Li Li, and that if her invention was marketed, she would surely make a fortune. Ning Zhiyuan was worried that Li Li would refuse outright.

However, Li Li agreed without even thinking: "I can cooperate with you. This is what I originally wanted."

How could Li Li miss such a golden opportunity? Cooperating with the college is like holding up a strong umbrella for herself. Anyone who wants to shake her position should think twice before acting.

She had originally designed her new aircraft to attract the attention of the royal court, but she had not expected them to appear so quickly.

She agreed so readily that Ning Zhiyuan was a little surprised: "Do you have any special requests?"

Li Li thought for a moment and said, "I am still studying in Blue City, so it is not realistic for me to go to the Imperial Capital frequently. If possible, I hope to do research and development work in Blue City. In addition, I hope that my design will not be interfered with by others. Of course, you can verify it."

She is confident in her talent and will not allow irrelevant people to point fingers at her.

Ning Zhiyuan readily agreed: "No problem, the work will be carried out with you as the core, and we will fully support you."

Only then did Li Li nodded with satisfaction.

Meng Huai watched the two of them easily finalize the important matters, and smiled at Li Li, "Student Li Li, are you a freshman in high school now? With your talent, I don't think you need to wait until graduation. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"

Ning Zhiyuan was shocked. Elder Meng actually wanted to accept Li Li as his apprentice? Elder Meng had not accepted any apprentices for many years, but all of his apprentices were giants in their fields. He admitted that Li Li was very outstanding, but it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

He didn't understand Meng Huai's heart. In fact, Meng Huai was convinced that Li Li's talent was just the tip of the iceberg and she had more surprises. Li Li's brilliance was too dazzling, which touched Meng Huai's idea of ​​accepting a disciple.

"Thank you for your kindness, Professor Meng. I haven't thought about this yet." Li Li declined politely.

Would anyone refuse Meng Huai's invitation to be his disciple? Ning Zhiyuan looked at Li Li in surprise, as if he was looking at an alien.

Meng Huai was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Instead of being angry, he admired the child even more. Her straightforwardness and honesty won his heart: "Very good, then wait for you to think about it carefully."

Li Li smiled slightly, and her liking for Meng Huai doubled.

After everything was agreed, Li Li declined Ning Zhiyuan's offer to send her a car and returned to the hotel...

When Li Li turned on the magic communicator, Jiang Nan's message appeared before her eyes, "Congratulations on your victory in the arcane competition."

Jiangnan's news came as fast as magic, and Li Li responded with words of gratitude.

At this moment, Jiang Nan was busy researching unknown spells. His magic device was buzzing. He glanced at Li Li's reply, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is Jiang Jian behind you at the Arcane Summit? Do you want to go gliding in the snow together? Zhou Ye has always been fantasizing about that."

Gliding on the top of the ice peak? Li Li, who was born in the Southern Territory, was immediately excited, "Of course!"

As if sensing Li Li's eagerness, Jiangnan smiled gently, and the tiredness of the past few days also dissipated.

------------------------

In Lancheng, at dinner time, many families are accustomed to immersing themselves in evening anecdotes.

Yan Yu was teaching his daughter to reduce her addiction to the world of golems and eat more elven fruits and vegetables when he heard the solemn voice of the announcer: "Today, the National Arcane Innovation Competition held in the imperial capital came to a successful conclusion. Nearly four hundred mages and scholars from all over the country competed on the same stage, and the competition was fierce. Here, I would like to warmly congratulate Li Li, a student from Class 14, Grade , Lancheng No. Middle School, and her teammates Lin Dai and Lan Qi from Huaqing Academy for winning the highest honor of this competition and receiving a reward of one million gold coins from the Junyu Consortium. Professor Meng Huai, a well-known arcane master and academician of the Huaxue Academy, personally presided over the award ceremony. Let us witness the glory of the champion together."

Yan Yu stopped chewing and looked at her husband suspiciously: "Did I hear it right? I think I heard the name of a student in our class."

The husband turned his head and glanced at the golem vision, "Li Li, Class 14, Grade , isn't she the one in your class?"

"Snap!" The wooden chopsticks in his hand slipped, and Yan Yu stared at the dazzling girl on the screen, his heart beating like thunder.

The camera switches to the contestant seats, where many familiar mages and scholars come into view. Li Li stands out among them and wins the championship? Or does she get full marks?

She fell into a strange silence, recalling the conversation with Li Li before she asked for leave about going to the imperial capital to participate in the competition. That so-called "small competition" was more than just small.

Seeing the photo of Meng Huai and Li Li, she took a deep breath and felt proud. Her student was praised by Master Meng Huai! She is the mentor of the student praised by Meng Huai!

Old Li also witnessed this scene at home and jumped up and down with excitement. “I knew this kid was a low-key genius who could achieve great things!”
