The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 45 Mental Power Level

The original owner's parents were both Awakened at level A or above in terms of spiritual power. Her mother was even an A+ level mecha soldier. Both of them were considered high-level Awakened.

What is an A+ grade? It's certainly not as simple as being slightly better than an A grade.

Currently, interstellar beings have seven main levels of mental power that are relatively clear: D-level, C-level, B-level, A-level, S-level, Double S-level, and 3S-level. These are the seven levels that are commonly referred to.

Jiang Hui's current certification level is B. On the surface, it seems pretty good, probably around average in interstellar space. So why would her family be dissatisfied with this rating?
While these seven major ratings are the most common in interstellar space, interstellar dwellers actually encounter the first five most frequently. Those with ratings like Double S or 3S are top-tier awakened individuals, appearing only a handful every eight to ten years. Each time they are detected, they are recruited by the military and secretly trained within the military and political system until they can stand on their own.

Therefore, S-rank students are recognized as geniuses in the world. Every year, major military academies compete to recruit these exceptionally talented students. After a long period of rigorous training, they are eventually transferred to the military system and become high-ranking military reserves.

The next level down is Rank A. Although this is only one level lower, their aptitude is significantly inferior to Rank S. However, this level still represents the backbone of all Awakened Ones. While their numbers are not large, they far exceed those of Rank S, and with proper training, they will become future high-ranking officers.

The original owner's parents actually belonged to this category. Especially Jiang Hui's mother, who was only 65 years old and had already reached the rank of major during her lifetime, while Jiang Huai's father was a captain. After their deaths, in commemoration of their contributions to the empire, the military promoted them to lieutenant colonel and major, respectively, and their children also enjoyed corresponding benefits.

For their age, they were already considered very accomplished in the military. If they hadn't died so young on the battlefield, they probably would have had many more possibilities in the future. But now it's pointless to say anything; they're already dead.

Then we skip over levels B and C, and finally level D. Level D is the lowest level of mental strength, but in reality, there are levels E and F below it. However, these two levels are too low for most jobs and professions that require mental strength, so they are ignored and simply summarized as mental strength D-.

Some people are wondering what the extra X+ and X- are all about, which would make a dozen or so levels. Actually, A+, B+, C+, and even S+ are not formal mental strength levels, but rather potential indicators.

To put it another way, Jiang Hui's mother, Jiang Yilin, has a mental strength level of A+, while Jiang Hui's father, Jiang Hui, has a mental strength level of A. Strictly speaking, both of them are at the A level of mental strength. However, the former, Jiang Yilin, is an A+ level Awakened, which means she possesses combat power beyond the ordinary A level limit, and her power can be amplified to a certain extent. Reaching a certain threshold or through continuous nurturing with special drugs can directly cross the A level and reach the S level.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of the empire. Many famous generals have gone through such a stage, achieving the leap from A+ to S-level, and then becoming S-level awakeners.

Therefore, strictly speaking, although A+ is within the A-level, it is in fact an awakened individual with the potential to reach the S-level. It is a transitional level that is slightly short of the full S-level. Such awakened individuals are often more valued by the upper echelons of the military because it represents potential and explosive power. They are also often more resilient because they are a class that is not bound by innate conditions.

Jiang's father belongs to a relatively ordinary level of mental strength. However, his mental strength is also relatively strong. When he reaches his peak years, around 75 to 125 years old, he may be able to advance another half level, that is, move towards the A+ level. This shows that the mental strength level of a scheming person is not completely fixed. With enough opportunity and perseverance, it is not impossible to achieve a leap from a lower to a higher level through certain methods.

However, for the military, which is very inefficient in terms of personnel updates, there is not much time to wait for you to grow. Unless a few truly gifted individuals can ignore various limitations, most people still have to rely on their innate talent.

Jiang Hui's parents already possessed high levels of spiritual power. According to the laws of biological evolution, Jiang Hui's final spiritual power level should be at least A-grade, perhaps even higher. The Jiang family had initially hoped that Jiang Hui might reach A+ or even S-grade. This was also the hope many within the clan had for Jiang Hui.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hui awakened for the second time ahead of schedule, and the level of the second awakening was exactly the same as the first, maintaining the original level of mental power.

This was a devastating blow to someone with the potential to become a high-level Awakened. It meant that she would almost never become a high-level Awakened in her lifetime.

Interstellar beings typically undergo three awakenings, regardless of their mental strength level. Those who haven't fully experienced all three awakenings are considered incompletely awakened. After these three awakenings, their mental strength is essentially fixed. Even if there are fourth, fifth, or sixth awakenings later, that's a matter for the future, with a low probability and not everyone experiences it. Therefore, most people are certified based on their mental strength awakening level after three awakenings.

The second awakening is generally the period with the strongest and most important boost from all awakenings. Jiang Hui already had B-level mental strength after her first awakening, and based on her genetics and awakening trend, her second awakening should at least reach B+ level, and with good luck, she could even reach A level.

The original owner of this body unfortunately faltered at this crucial moment, remaining stagnant. Even with a third awakening, it would be difficult to change anything; the outcome was already decided, at best resulting in a B+. This was a far cry from her parents' talent and fell far short of her family's expectations, so one can imagine how devastating this was for her.

Although the family was somewhat disappointed with her rank, they wouldn't mistreat her. After all, she was the daughter of a military martyr, and her rank wasn't actually that bad. Even if she couldn't join the army in the future, her future was still promising, and it wouldn't take much effort to support her in the family.

But the original owner of this body couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't the difference in treatment, but the strange looks from some of her clansmen. She had once been a promising talent in the clan, and even though she lived a low-key life and never arrogantly mocked others, she hadn't even fallen on hard times, yet some people were openly or secretly laughing at her.

On the surface, they came to comfort her, but in reality, they were mocking her, as if doing so would give them a sense of superiority.

The original owner chose to leave Kmir under such circumstances.
