The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 805 Uncrowned
Holden is a well-known military and political family in the Vermilion Bird Southern Mansion, one of the seven luminaries in the central star sector. It is said that since the rise of their ancestor Marshal Holden, the family has been passed down for three star eras. Today, the family is full of talented people and has connections with various noble and newly rich families. Its power is deeply rooted and profound, making it a truly noble family.

In comparison, Avery's reputation is much dimmer, and it has only been listed among the nobles for a few hundred years.

But every era has its heroes. Just like Zhou Yuanjing, who was like a star falling from the sky and was called "the light of an empire that transcends time," Avery played a very similar role among the nobles.

Over three hundred years ago, the central star sector had no such name, and even further down the list, there was none. No distinguished figure bore the name Avery. But then, from some unknown star in the resident system, a man named Alhan Avery emerged.

This young man named Alhan Avery had just lost his only remaining family member and then lost his job due to an accident. Unable to see any hope in his original social circle, Avery finally turned to a friend in the military who had helped him get a job as a skilled worker on a routine military construction project in the central sector.

Although the contract is demanding and the job is only for two years, the pay is generous, and having such a resume should allow for a fresh start upon returning to the permanent star system.

That's what Avery thought. But fate gave him a little push from behind when he met a child named "Left" while working in the central sector, whose origins were unknown.

The child was handsome with well-proportioned features, clearly indicating good genes from his ancestors. However, his tattered clothes and his constant wandering of the recycling area in search of food revealed his dire situation.

Avery knew perfectly well that he wasn't in a position to meddle. And a "refugee" wandering the Central Sector? That was impossible!

The child may be in a difficult situation, but his background is definitely not simple. In any case, he is better off than this civilian who was guaranteed a temporary job in an upper star system through military connections.

But no one knows what story unfolded between the impoverished Avery and the destitute street urchins hundreds of years ago.

A year and a half later, Avery successfully completed the project and returned to his permanent star system with a child, starting a new life.

Ten years later, the boy, watched by Avery, went to study at the Capital Military Academy, thus beginning his legendary life that would last for more than three hundred years.

The current highest leader of the Imperial Government is surnamed "Zuo".

Of course, while many in the upper class knew something about it, not everyone did. In the eyes of the general public, Avery was simply a newly emerging aristocratic family in the political arena.

Holden, who enrolled this year, is only of collateral lineage, but in terms of blood relation, he is still relatively close to the main branch. His great-grandfathers were also among the main branch, but due to their inaction, they were gradually marginalized according to clan rules. However, if his lineage produces a general within the next century, returning to the main branch is not impossible.

As a genius of his generation with exceptional talent, and who was recruited by three direct military academies, including the First Military Academy, the United Military Academy, and St. Pleton School, Randy Holden had every reason to be proud.

He was arguably one of the most privileged students in his graduating class at the Combined Military Academy. However, Ivan Avery's ability to rival him wasn't solely due to his family's close ties to the left-wing president. In terms of talent, he surpassed even Randy Holden.

Unlike Randy Holden, this person was arguably at the top of the list of candidates directly recruited by the Joint Military Academy.

In order to win over this special student, the United Military Academy even offered him its full scholarship and promised that the academy would do its best to support him in developing his physical potential during his time at the academy.

Ivan Avery is an incompletely awakened individual whose mental and physical constitution are both balanced to S-level strength.

Yes, this means that Ivan Avery not only has a mental strength of at least S-level, but his physical strength has also reached S-level, while the other party has not yet fully awakened.

According to the well-known principles of mental strength foundation building, an unawakened individual with a basic mental strength of S-level can at least become a double S-level mental strength awakener after three awakenings. Meanwhile, Ivan Avery, with his S-level physical strength, can withstand and accommodate even more mental energy. Given sufficient external conditions and a bit of luck, Ivan Avery might become one of the fewer than one hundred 3S mental strength experts currently in the interstellar space.

As mentioned above, neither of these two is someone to be trifled with, whether in terms of family background or talent. The instructors in the outer viewing stands were also mostly observing this team's actions, and in their view, this year's rookie king would most likely emerge from between these two.

Oh, so why not Zhou Xiuwen or Huan Xian? The former is too powerful and would be completely excluded from the competition, while the latter doesn't need to be included in the battle for the new king. As for Jiang Hui... well, his background is still insufficient.

However, it is somewhat unexpected that these two, who should have been natural adversaries, actually teamed up and cooperated from the beginning instead of going their separate ways.

It is true that two tigers cannot share one mountain. These two are really incompatible. They almost broke up and started fighting before they could even defeat a few waves of enemies together.

If it weren't for their third ally, the "glue" that held them together, Holden and Avery might only be left with one of them by now.

Compared to the two ancestors, Wu Shi, who acted as the glue, or rather the middleman, was much more ordinary.

Wu Shi is the same "1002" that Jiang Hui and others encountered during the national college entrance examination.

The Wu family was known for its literary talent; their ancestors had all been engaged in academic research, and the family was relatively wealthy, though just an ordinary small family. However, the Xu family, with whom they had a marriage alliance, was a well-established military family. Wu Shi was the grand-nephew of Xu Dinglan, the deputy instructor of the individual soldier department at the Joint Military Academy.

Aside from that, Wu Shi himself doesn't have anything particularly outstanding or remarkable—comparatively speaking. But this very person has miraculously secured a balancing position between Holden and Avery, forming an alliance with the two to this day, which has earned him considerable respect from many.

Of course, Wu Shi himself was unaware of the various discussions and speculations circulating outside. He was simply repeating his routine reminder, which he did every ten or so stars, with a bit of weariness, reminding the two of them that they were still making progress and shouldn't give up on this hard-won game just because of a moment of anger. He had to at least put on a show.
