Chapter 686: Chapter 705: Teacher Mao, My Body Feels a Little Strange
The next day, Jiang Qiuqiu continued to perform terribly in her matches.
She almost never won any of her in-class duels.
Teacher Mao’s class had become one where Jiang Qiuqiu just kept losing credits.
She had pretty much lost all the credits she’d previously won, bit by bit, and had even dipped into her own reserves.
But for the students of Class A1, the credits were no longer the main reason they paid attention to Jiang Qiuqiu.
What everyone was focused on was her progress.
For instance, you could occasionally scroll through the school forums and see her fans cheerfully posting about how well Juju’s career was doing.
But as it turned out, she could not only manage her career well, but her studies too.
It had only been a few days since she’d first piloted the Intermediate Battle Armor, wobbling unsteadily. Now? Jiang Qiuqiu could already stand her ground with hardly a sway.
Such progress was simply astounding.
As the one who had watched Jiang Qiuqiu grow every step of the way, Teacher Mao’s heart burned with excitement.
’She’s really growing so fast. The next time I have dinner with the dean, I have to tell him we have a major new talent in the academy.’
’Class A1’s top elite isn’t just Huo Jia anymore!’
Lost in thought, the morning slipped quietly by.
As class was ending and most of the students had already left, Jiang Qiuqiu furtively approached Teacher Mao again.
"What’s the matter, Student Jiang?" Teacher Mao asked. "Is there something you need? Are you thinking of switching Mechas?"
"No." Jiang Qiuqiu shook her head. "It has nothing to do with the Mecha. It’s... my body..."
?
"What’s wrong with your body?" Hearing the word "body," Teacher Mao’s nerves instantly tensed. "Where does it hurt? Is your Spirit Sea acting up again? Describe the discomfort for me."
"Never mind, let’s just go to the infirmary and get you checked out!"
’A healthy body is the foundation for everything.’
"No, I’m not unwell. It’s just... a little strange."
?
"Strange? What kind of strange?" Teacher Mao asked. "Headaches? A turbulent Spirit Sea? Occasional hallucinations, or hearing things before you fall asleep?"
"No, it’s... my Spirit Sea seems to have expanded. My spiritual power has been recovering faster recently, and its intensity feels greater too." Jiang Qiuqiu’s words struck him like a thunderclap. "I have a suspicion, but... a suspicion is just that."
"You think your spiritual power advanced?"
"I haven’t been tested. I don’t really understand the metrics for spiritual power, I just feel like I’ve gotten stronger."
Teacher Mao had gone over Jiang Qiuqiu’s file in detail before.
Natural person, initial B+ Genes, dropped out of school, only passed the entrance exam this year, admitted with A-level spiritual power... and it hasn’t even been three months since she enrolled—
If she had advanced again, then the higher-ups’ talent assessment of her would change.
She could very well become an S-Class operative.
Or even Level 2S. After all, developmental operatives are rare, and one who grows this fast is completely unprecedented.
"Forget ’seems like,’ let’s go get it checked right now!"
"Let’s go to the infirmary and run a test! Let’s go!"
Driven by his curiosity, Teacher Mao and Jiang Qiuqiu walked so quickly that they reached the infirmary in just over ten minutes.
The school doctor on duty heard their reason for coming, and after checking Teacher Mao’s faculty ID, led them to a small adjacent room.
A single Test Crystal Stone sat on a long table in the room.
No stranger to this process, Jiang Qiuqiu quickly placed her hand on the stone and entered a meditative state.
She fell into a deep meditation, allowing her spiritual power to form a connection with the Test Crystal Stone.
The mystical spiritual power linked with the equally mystical Crystal Stone, setting off a chain reaction—
Soon, the stone began to glow.
And as it did, Teacher Mao’s eyes lit up as well!
