Chapter 106: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (11)
As soon as he returned to the Emperor Star, Xie Xu gave the students a seven-day holiday.
This was a common practice. The bloody storms on the battlefield would leave an indelible mark in the heart. Nothing could soothe such pain better than family and affection.
Although the military training ended early, they had seen what they should have seen. Worried that they would be left with a shadow, the principal did not deduct a day of vacation.
The Alliance attached great importance to these children. They were the hope of the future. Even if they were destined to go to the battlefield, they would try their best to avoid their sacrifice.
Xie Xu took Shen Minghuan and Shang Chi to retest their mental power.
Shang Chi's result was still the same as the first test, and he had no talent for mental power.
Shang Chi didn't have much hope in the first place, so he couldn't say he was disappointed. At most, he was a little regretful.
Xie Xu was not too surprised. After all, this technology was very mature. One mistake could be considered a coincidence. If both of them were wrong, it would either prove that there was something wrong with the machine or overturn the theory of awakening at the age of fourteen that scientists had determined.
Either way was unlikely.
Yes, he had already determined that there must be something wrong with Shen Minghuan's result.
The instrument for the test is a thin, transparent cylinder with red lines marking the scale.
Shen Minghuan reached out and held the bottom of the cylinder.
"Concentrate and imagine that you are using the optical brain to connect to the star network." Xie Xu stood beside him, looking at the instrument seriously.
After a while, a light blue halo lit up on the transparent instrument, like water, climbing up from the bottom little by little.
Being able to light up means talent.
Xie Xu couldn't help but smile as he watched the light blue slowly cover the B-level lines, then cross the A-level, and climb to the S-level.
"It's worthy of me..." Xie Xu stroked his long beard proudly, and was about to praise his vision when he saw that the light was still unwilling to stop.
The light blue slowly and firmly spread over the lines representing the S-level, and continued to rise.
Xie Xu saw that the halo covered the entire cylindrical instrument, and then suddenly burst into a dazzling light. There was no gap at all, as if this transparent instrument was originally light blue.
Xie Xu's smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
He looked at the top line covered by the gorgeous blue, and muttered absentmindedly: "Double S."
The design of the mecha requires that the mental power is strong enough to be released through the medium, that is, only talented people can operate it.
The most common mecha control bottom line is that the mental power reaches C level. The higher the level, the more functions, and the higher the lethality of the mecha, the higher the mental power level requirements.
Is it good to have a double S-level genius?
Of course it is good, which means the hope of completely eradicating the Zerg, means the ability to go deep into the Zerg nest to kill the Zerg queen who is hiding deeply, and means that the alliance will never be threatened by foreign enemies again.
But that was in the past.
From ancient times to the present, there have only been two double S-levels in the alliance, not counting Shen Minghuan who was just discovered at this moment, and only one Tang Chaoyan.
——The sinner who betrayed the alliance.
In fact, if someone else betrayed, the alliance would not be so angry. If the betrayer did not enjoy the benefits of the alliance, the people would not be so angry.
But it was Tang Chaoyan who carried countless eyes. He was pampered and protected by the entire alliance and given countless special treatments.
How strong the feelings were in the past, how biting the hatred is now.
Until now, sixteen years later, this name is still a name that makes people spit when it is mentioned.
Xie Xu looked at the little boy in front of him, dazed and absent-minded.
He suddenly felt that Shen Minghuan was somewhat similar to Tang Chaoyan. They were both orphans, and they also tested the highest talents when they were young. They were also smart and had a keen eye for battles and military tactics.
And if this is a repetition of history, will Shen Minghuan betray the alliance inexplicably like Tang Chaoyan in the future?
People still don’t know the reason why Tang Chaoyan betrayed. When hatred exceeds reason, they often vent their anger on all people and things related to them.
They even began to reject double S-level, believing that the mental power that has not been fully studied is actually Pandora's box. Perhaps once it reaches a certain level, it will become ungrateful and ungrateful.
Or, only people with a beastly heart and a vicious heart can awaken SS-level talent? After all, they have done their best for Tang Chaoyan.
Xie Xu knew that there were actually quite a few people who thought so.
Shen Minghuan let go of his hand, and the light blue light still flickered and refused to dissipate for a long time, dyeing the room like a dream.
It was also very beautiful, Shen Minghuan was satisfied and appreciated it.
"Minghuan." Xie Xu's expression became very serious, and he said solemnly: "Don't tell anyone the true results of your test. Remember, your mental power talent is S-level. Anyone who asks you will say so. Do you understand?"
He glanced at the hidden surveillance camera in the corner calmly, and he had to find a way to deal with it.
Shen Minghuan showed a puzzled look, but he was obviously very "well-behaved and obedient". Under Xie Xu's serious eyes, he nodded without hesitation.
——What an honor it is to be at SS level, but since the teacher has spoken, he can give up.
Even though Xie Xu made this request for his sake, he couldn't help but be moved by this complete trust.
He thought, this child is really too kind, and if no one protects this character, he will definitely suffer.
Xie Xu felt warm in his heart, but also mixed with a bit of complexity. He was silent for a moment, and still asked: "Minghuan, why do you always wear a mask?"
Shen Minghuan was slightly startled when he heard the words. He raised his hand as if subconsciously, and his fingers touched the cool metal-like material. His eyes suddenly became sad, "I'm sorry, teacher, I don't want to lie to you, but I can't say it yet."
"Is it related to your life experience?" Xie Xu looked at his particularly immature half of the face and had mixed feelings for a while.
Sixteen years old...if that child was still around, he would be this age.
Although Shen Minghuan has outstanding abilities, he is still young and does not know how to hide his emotions.
When he heard Xie Xu's question, his eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing deep shock. And he soon discovered his gaffe, and hurriedly lowered his eyes slightly to cover it up.
Shen Minghuan pursed his lips. He struggled for a long time before he responded with great difficulty and sincerity: "Yes."
"...I only ask the last question." Xie Xu looked at Shen Minghuan who clearly had concerns but refused to lie to him. His heart was so soft that he said in a dry tone, "Are you Tang Chao Yan's son?"
Please don't do it, otherwise this person's life will be too miserable.
Such a beautiful and sensible young man should not have to suffer like this.
Shen Minghuan let out a long breath. It was obvious that it was very easy for him to answer this question, and even his voice became brisk: "No."
Xie Xu was infected by this emotion and couldn't help but laugh, "It's okay if it's not."
He didn't doubt Shen Minghuan's words, but some things became very strange.
Xie Xu has learned a lot about the experiences of the two students these days. As far as he knows, Shen Minghuan was picked up by an old scavenger on Lanxing when he was still a baby, but this person seems to know his life experience very well. ?
Xie Xu had no intention of investigating or guessing the secrets that his apprentice didn't want others to know, but at his age, many things didn't need to be thought about carefully, and the brain would naturally start to analyze the answers.
Shen Minghuan should have a face that is very similar to that of his parents and family members, the kind that others can recognize at a glance. His family shouldn't be too ordinary, maybe he's a celebrity? Otherwise Shen Minghuan wouldn't be so careful.
But the strange thing is precisely his excessive caution.
He didn't want to reveal his identity and obviously didn't want to return to his biological parents. But since he was abandoned, he could apply to the alliance to cancel their custody rights instead of hiding and not even daring to show his face.
Rather, what he really wanted to avoid was the exposure of his identity.
It's really strange.
Xie Xu quickly stopped his thinking and reminded worriedly: "Not even Shang Chi can tell you the results of this test, do you understand?"
Shen Minghuan was stunned for a moment, but still nodded hesitantly, "Okay, teacher, I won't tell you."
At the same time, Lu Zhiyi also begged his parents to take him to retest his mental talent.
After the age of fourteen, the mental power will not be awakened again, but it can be improved, but the possibility of this is pitifully small.
Especially when it comes to changing from A-level to S-level, the only one known to the alliance is Mo Hongxue. You must know that although A-levels are rare, the military academy can still receive such a few talents every year when recruiting students. The number accumulated over the years is also a considerable number.
I don't have much hope, but for their family, the small amount of money for the test is nothing. Lu Zhiyi had just returned from the front line where conditions were full of dangers and conditions were difficult. It was the time when he was enjoying emperor-level treatment at home. Since he wanted to go, his parents would naturally agree.
Lu Zhiyi entered the testing room and suddenly felt a little funny. Knowing that the outcome would most likely remain unchanged, Shen Minghuan might just be chatting casually, but he seemed to be possessed by something evil.
Will his parents and those around him think he has no self-awareness? Do you think he is not satisfied with having an A-level and is trying to replicate Commander Mo's glory?
A seventeen-year-old child already has an extremely strong self-esteem. Lu Zhiyi felt ashamed afterward, which almost made him want to drag his father out of the room and pretended to be calm and said, "I feel like there is nothing to predict."
But suddenly the young man's soft and smiling voice sounded in his ears.
——"Lu Zhiyi, I wish you a surprise."
Lu Zhiyi stretched out his hand out of nowhere and held the test instrument.
The light blue halo spread slowly as in the memory, and Lu Zhiyi was inexplicably nervous.
The halo crossed the A-level lines, and the uniform speed suddenly slowed down.
Lu Zhiyi's father took a step forward in shock.
Although it is slow, the halo is indeed rising.
The light blue halo moved slowly like a snail, even touching the S-level lines. Finally, it reluctantly fell back an inch and stayed far beyond the A-level lines.
Lu Zhiyi took back his hand and looked back at his father in disbelief. Their eyes were filled with the same surprise.
His mental power level increased.
Moreover, he seems to have the potential to become an S-class warrior.
