The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: The Wrong Choice

The strength test was completed, and Yue Qiyuan did not stop. Under the watchful eyes of all the students in the cafeteria hall, he moved toward the machine for testing spiritual power. After a while, Yue Qiyuan stopped and stood beside the spiritual power testing machine.

Around him, scattered voices sounded:

”Doesn’t this person look familiar?”

”Do you know who he is?”

”Who?”

”Oh! I remember now, isn’t this Yue Qiguang?”

”Wrong, it’s not the second fool Guang, it’s his brother Yue Qiyuan.”

”Yue Qiyuan?”

”It’s that person with S-level mental power talent!”

”It’s him!!!”

The moment Yue Qiyuan’s identity was recognized, the surrounding discussions suddenly stopped, and everyone focused their attention, seriously staring at Yue Qiyuan next to the testing machine. Testing time was limited, and Yue Qiyuan did not delay. He paused for less than a second, briefly closed his eyes, and immediately connected to the Spiritual Connector.

Quickly.

The detector began to start.

On the simulated imaging screen, from point to surface, waves continued to surge upward.

meter.

meters.

meters.

...

meters, 200 meters, 500 meters... One barrier after another was continuously broken through by Yue Qiyuan under the witness of the crowd, gradually raising the expectation of the audience. 100 meters, equivalent to a spiritual threshold of 1000, 500 meters is 5000! This figure is already very considerable for others, but the person testing now is Yue Qiyuan!

This is the Yue Qiyuan who’s known as the spiritual power genius from the Alliance Main Star—Nami Star! The Nami Star students present, from kindergarten to elementary school, to junior high, high school... have heard the legendary name of Yue Qiyuan!

He is truly a prodigy among geniuses!

How far can he break through in the end?

...

The surroundings were silent, no one made a sound to disturb Yue Qiyuan, everyone was highly anticipating this moment when the final figure would be revealed!

Will he surpass Shen Sheng?

Can he?

Then—

meters!

meters!

meters!

Broke through the 10000 threshold!

Next—

The audience’s hearts instantly leapt, eyes widened, having broken through the 10000 threshold, the following scene was even more anticipated.

Then—

On the screen, the wave reaching the high point surged forward, continuing to surge!

Boom—

meters.

1002.5 meters.

1002.57 meters.

...

Audience: ”???”

The audience, with faces full of inexplicable expressions, looked at the slow-climbing-up-the-screen number like a snail, exchanged glances, perplexed: ”???”

”So?”

”And then?”

”The result?”

...

Yue Qiyuan’s handsome face was now covered in sweat, clearly under immense mental pressure, but he seemed unwilling to give up, gritting his teeth, still persevering!

But!!!

Time’s up.

”Ding—”

System: [Congratulations, your spiritual power threshold is 10113.5, currently ranked at: 88th place on the leaderboard.]

After the system broadcast was completed, the Spiritual Connector automatically disconnected. Seeing his own result, Yue Qiyuan was stunned, visibly taken aback, his smile at the corner of his mouth instantly retracting. Then, seemingly unable to accept his number, he suddenly bent over, covering his chest with one hand and his face with the other, swiftly leaving under everyone’s gaze.

For a moment, the surroundings were silent.

Soon, the students, who were stunned with wide eyes, suddenly erupted:

”Damn!”

”Is this Yue Qiyuan?”

”How is this possible?”

”He used to be in my class, his spiritual power was always way ahead of ours, how is this possible?”

”So bad!”

”Only 88th place!”

”This shouldn’t be! He shouldn’t barely squeeze into the top 100, still in lower ranks! He should at least be in the top ten!”

”What has he really been through this year? Why did he give up the Alliance First Military Academy and opt to attend that last-place Lanyue Star Military Academy?”

This sentence seemed to awaken the crowd, especially the old classmates, including Wei Xiaoxiong, Wu Jingyue, Li Jiu... These students lurking nearby felt like they suddenly found the reason.

”He shouldn’t have given up the First Military Academy, if he had chosen to enter the First Military Academy back then, the result wouldn’t be like this.”

”A last-place school is a last-place school, even top talents thrown in can be taught into mediocrity.”

”Not mediocrity, but we can only say he is ordinarily excellent.”

Among the crowd, in disbelief, yet after another glance, confirming the figure indeed unchanged, Wei Xiaoxiong slightly frowned, saying: ”Yue Qiyuan, originally I considered him as a strong rival...”

His tone carried a trace of inexplicable melancholy and sadness...

Li Jiu, however, opened his mouth, with a tone tinged with schadenfreude, saying: ”Not choosing the right school is the consequence he must bear.”

Among the three, the most silent was Wu Jingyue, eyes on that series of numbers, hesitating slightly, saying: ”Could it be deceit?”

Li Jiu immediately refuted upon hearing this: ”How could there be deceit? Do you know where our school’s detector comes from? It’s a new research result from the research institute, after connecting, it can deeply contact the tester’s spirit space within the brain, not missing a single fluctuation, exploring and determining the tester’s spirit core size. And spirit core can measure one’s spiritual threshold strength!”

”The research institute made such great efforts to create such a machine, aiming for a deeper exploration of human spirit space. Allegedly, experimental results have proven that the accuracy rate of this new detection model reaches 99%.” After Li Jiu said all this, his tone incredibly solemn and determined, saying: ”Therefore, the test result absolutely cannot be wrong.”

Wu Jingyue thought about it and agreed, he actually was just casually questioning, without truly doubting the Alliance Research Institute.

Since the Alliance’s establishment, almost 80% of critical and influential scientific research results come from the Alliance Research Institute, in terms of scientific research, the institute represents authority, represents reliability.

Human spiritual world, so close to humans, residing among humans themselves, yet everything about it is too profound, too many unknown and unsolved mysteries... Thus, humans need constant exploration, continuous research...

Since the institute released the latest instrument, it proves its test results are reliable, trustworthy. Wu Jingyue and Wei Xiaoxiong had no reason, no thought to suspect the Alliance Research Institute’s intentions. The three looked at Yue Qiyuan covering his face with his hand, silently blending into the crowd, then Wei Xiaoxiong involuntarily sighed, saying: ”Ultimately, Lanyue Star Military Academy harmed him.”

Choices and hard work?

Which is more important?

Hard work?

No!

Choice is more important than anything.

Wei Xiaoxiong thought.
