The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 424 Transition
“S-rank?” Hillman didn’t dare to say it too loudly, but he couldn’t help but be surprised to hear his friend say that.

Everyone knew that Jiang Hui had gone to the medical office yesterday, and it was impossible to hide it from them. Rather than asking them to press her about what was wrong with her health, they might as well just tell her directly, since it wasn't a big deal anyway.

No wonder the other party lost so much weight overnight. Indeed, for those who are not fully awakened, there will be a transformation between their physical constitution, physical abilities, and the energy within their bodies.

"A sudden shift without warning?" Clarence frowned.

He displayed considerable mental potential from a young age, and after his second awakening, his certification level reached A+. His parents and family members were mostly of this type, so they paid great attention to mental strength. He was forced to learn a lot, so he naturally knew that the other person's sudden transformation could not be described as simply an internal energy conversion.

Although more than one person has told Jiang Hui that it is normal for those who are not fully awakened to undergo energy conversion, this does not change the fact that it is essentially a manifestation of the instability of the spiritual subject.

Some might think that such an internal transformation is a good thing, right? Being able to transform physical and even life energy into spiritual energy is a great boost for the latter, something that many awakened individuals can only dream of.

But the first thing we need to clarify is whether the upper limit of an awakened being is unlimited? Can a person increase their mental strength indefinitely with the support of external forces?

The answer is, of course, no. Human spiritual power and its source are bound by invisible shackles, a kind of constraint on the very origin of life—as long as a person lives in this form, it is unlikely that they will ever deviate from this path.

Therefore, a person's talent is often predetermined at birth. Although there may be cases where nurture can enhance it, these are rare... innate talent still accounts for the largest proportion.

If someone's ancestors were all people with low spiritual power levels, would they necessarily be born with low spiritual power levels? To be honest, it's very likely, and the probability is higher than for ordinary people. Although we can't rule out the existence of genetic mutations that might suddenly produce someone with high potential spiritual power, those are mostly exceptions.

If grandparents or even parents are high-potential awakeners, their descendants, even if they cannot surpass their parents, are still relatively likely to inherit some of their traits genetically.

Whether a person possesses potential in spiritual power is often predetermined at birth. For example, many highly potential awakened individuals may awaken as early as three to five years old, while others may not begin their initial awakening until nine years old or even longer. Meanwhile, the former may already be accumulating experience for the second stage. Of course, there is an element of chance involved, and these are not absolute facts.

Zhou Xiuwen's father, Zhou Yuanjing, achieved an S+ level upon his first awakening, and with each subsequent awakening, he almost always advanced one level, eventually becoming an SSS+ level Awakener. His advancement was always traceable. This indicates an innate talent to become an SSS+ level Awakener; he was destined to reach that level or even higher.

That's why people say the upper limit of someone who isn't fully awakened basically depends on their initial awakening level. Afterwards, there's a predictable progression; it's not something you can improve by randomly performing a few transformations. Ultimately, things will remain the same, just sooner or later.

Furthermore, the awakening period can be considered the final accumulation point for the advancement of a person's spiritual power, a point where the spiritual subject reaches a certain stage and undergoes a qualitative change. At this point, an explosive breakthrough is the easiest and most natural occurrence for them.

However, during the rest of the time, that is, the non-awakening period, a person's mental energy is mostly in a dormant state, and the overall state is relatively stable, with few breakthroughs.

So what measures were taken to make this person's body choose to break through during the non-awakening period, even going so far as to forcibly transform the power of different elements within the body?

One possibility is that there's a gap left over from the previous awakening, meaning the breakthrough during the previous awakening period wasn't fully realized. This will gradually manifest itself some time after the awakening period, usually resulting in one or two small advancements. Another possibility is that the main body of the spirit has consistently lacked a power supply, or rather, her awakening state has been abnormal, causing her to draw power from other systems of the body during abnormal periods to attempt a breakthrough.

This wouldn't be a big deal for anyone else, since all sorts of situations and people exist in interstellar space, but this happened to Jiang Hui.

When they met Jiang Hui, she had been in a state of secondary awakening for a long time, so her mental strength should have been in a relatively stable state.

However, the other party experienced several instances of mental exhaustion within just a few months after the start of the semester...

This made Clarence somewhat suspicious that the other party's situation might be related to the previous accidents.

If it really is the other person, they probably need to undergo a more comprehensive examination at a more specialized medical institution. Especially for someone like Jiang Hui, a high-potential individual who hasn't fully awakened, being in such an unstable state is too dangerous for her, and it might affect the final determination of her awakening.

Jiang Hui nodded. She knew what the other person was worried about: "It's okay, I had therapist Lu from our school examine me. His teacher, therapist Michael, is also quite prestigious in the capital. He's said to be an expert in mental health treatment, so there shouldn't be any problems."

“Michael the healer.” Clarence, as expected of a young master from the capital, had already identified the person and knew who it was, his expression softening slightly.

But he was still a little worried and said, "You might need to purchase some potions specifically for high-potential individuals." Then he hesitated and said, "If you thought the batch I sent you before was good, I can send some over regularly."

Jiang Hui waved her hand: "Therapist Lu said that because my previous brain injury was a little different from usual, the test data still needs to be sent to Therapist Michael, and the medication may need to be prepared as needed. So I won't use it for now. I can trouble you again if I need it later."

"Hey, why are you two still being so polite? Don't worry about it too much. It's a good thing that A-Hui's mental strength level has been promoted." Hillman said excitedly, as if it was himself, not Jiang Hui, who had been promoted to S-level.

"Then you're the only S-rank in our grade?" Hillman, still knowing his place, deliberately lowered his voice.

"Click!" The sound wasn't loud, it was very close to them, and it suddenly came out when the group was talking quietly together, so it was quite noticeable.

Huan Xian reached out and lightly placed his hand behind Jiang Hui, then naturally placed it on her shoulder, gently pulling her forward a little, perhaps only three to five degrees.
Jiang Hui leaned forward, puzzled, and then felt someone stride past behind her, stirring up a slight breeze.

The person next to Jiang Hui, who was talking to her, stared blankly in the direction behind her, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
