The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 812 Weakness
The testing platform remained a hive of excitement, with half the allotted time already passed, yet not a single team had reached their destination. The instructors, experienced in previous years, were unsurprised; no one understood the true assessment criteria of this opening-of-school test better than they did.

Learning to work in a team is much harder and more important than working alone.

The Alpha Universe is vast and abundant. Humans have settled here and multiplied generation after generation, their genes and bloodlines long since different from those of ancient humans. Perhaps this is how a civilization progresses; through the accumulation of generations of predecessors, it eventually reaches its zenith.

Although the Ninth Star Era has not yet been definitively concluded, it is nearing its end. Looking back on the past, the Ninth Star Era can indeed be called the most brilliant era in interstellar history.

Circumstances create heroes. And the best of times often produce the most heroes. Those who have already made their mark on history, forever etched into the Alpha universe, are now history, while the seeds of a new generation emerge one after another like an inexhaustible harvest. Yet, very few truly become the former. Why?
A person who stands above thousands or tens of thousands of others is called a genius or an outstanding individual; a person who dominates a region can be considered a hero of his time.

In the brutal interstellar war, the power of an individual is insignificant. Armies are not lacking in talented individuals who pave the way to success with their blood and sweat, but they are hard to find commanders who can break through thousands of machines and manage talents.

A game-like test may not seem like much at the moment, but it offers a glimpse into the problem.

So young people, keep up the good work! If you want to secure more resources and training in the early stages of your studies, simply passing by the minimum requirements will not work.

"Hey, we've finally found her weakness."

"Actually, it can't be called a weakness. It should be said that she had previously demonstrated such skill in leveraging her strengths and compensating for her weaknesses that others seemed to make numerous mistakes and naturally couldn't see her weaknesses."

"It's not surprising. Apart from extraterrestrial star systems, the teaching standards across the entire star system aren't that different. However, resources and teaching qualifications are ultimately different, so it's likely that no one taught her the importance of balancing physical and mental strength." Someone said, whether with anger or a sigh, it was hard to tell.

Although Jiang Hui possesses extremely high mental potential, her weaknesses are also obvious. Her physical fitness is far too poor, and this is crucial in hand-to-hand combat.

Huan Xian and Clarence had reminded her of this point more than once.

Even though they would almost never be allowed to fight on the battlefield in their physical form, having a strong physique was common knowledge for all Imperial soldiers.

Furthermore, according to the "Ninth Star Era Marching Guidelines No. 987", unless there are special circumstances, the physical fitness of Imperial soldiers must not be lower than two levels below their mental strength level. This is the basic condition for them to accurately and stably pilot mechs and various weapons.

A renowned military strategist from the Seventh Star Era once proposed that, 'The higher the degree of integration between a person's physical constitution and mental strength, the greater their control over their body, and the easier it becomes to pilot a mecha.'

However, physical and mental power are two completely different systems. Mental power is not a field that humans can fully explore at present. To date, no one has been able to clearly explain how to integrate physical fitness and mental power. Strictly speaking, it is just a hypothesis.

However, there is indeed data showing that, under the same conditions, when a person's physical fitness level can catch up with their mental strength level, their overall strength is significantly enhanced and more stable. Jiang Hui's physical foundation is average. As a military dependent, she received some basic training in her early years, not much, but at least she wasn't completely weak. Later, she came to the individual soldier training program by chance, but the coursework was genuine, and as the training volume increased, she gradually got on track.

Huan Xian and Clarence both received considerable training at a young age, making them top-tier players among their peers. Jiang Hui, who frequently sparred with these two, benefited greatly from this, barely managing to outperform Hillman, who was second to last, in the five-person group. Oh, and last place was Zhou, that guy who only used his brains but whose skills in all events were really mediocre.

Therefore, although Jiang Hui wouldn't dare say that her physical skills were exceptionally high, she was still considered high among the average people of her age. However, to be honest, there was still a considerable gap between her and the top tier, and unfortunately, she had just encountered such a person.

In terms of strength, speed, and skill, her opponent was clearly superior. If it weren't for the fact that her opponent's mental strength was inferior to hers, she would probably have been overwhelmed from the start.

Of course, this precarious "balance" won't last long either.

Jiang Hui struggled to withstand the opponent's relentless attacks while rapidly searching her mind for a way to break the deadlock.

"You fought me and still had the strength to control those people. It seems you are very confident."

Jiang Hui's lips curled into a smile. This guy really does see everything clearly; nothing can be hidden from him.

Although she didn't expect her rudimentary arrangements to be of any use and had prepared for the worst, the enemy was clearly more troublesome and unpredictable than she had imagined. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them, and the slimmer their chances of success would become.

Jiang Hui was anxious, but she refused to show it on her face, and she tightened her grip even more.

Seeing that the person opposite him seemed unaffected and that his attacks were even more swift and cunning, Avery raised an eyebrow. This person's temperament was indeed quite interesting; at least he was much smarter than most of the arrogant idiots in his class, and he was also quite composed.

"I'm saying—the person who taught you martial arts is indeed very skilled, but it doesn't seem like they're teaching you that seriously." The boy suddenly raised his voice, his five fingers clamping down on the other person's shoulder like iron claws.

The opponent's attack was ruthless and deadly. Jiang Hui could almost hear the sound of bones cracking. A sharp pain spread from her shoulder, quickly triggering a spasm throughout the surrounding nerve roots. The pain was so intense it left her numb and blank.

However, Jiang Hui did not have time to check her injuries. Instead, her eyes brightened slightly, and she turned around to cut into the other person's side waist, reaching out to tear something.

The boy was startled, clearly not expecting Jiang Hui's first reaction upon being attacked in a vital spot to be a counterattack rather than a dodge. Although Avery didn't think his own openings were so easy to find, the opponent's movements were indeed somewhat unexpected—what audacity!
In a flash, Avery also made a decisive move, performing an equally awkward somersault to the extreme, aiming to touch Jiang Hui's back. He wanted to see whose movements were superior.
Little did she know that this was exactly what Jiang Hui had been waiting for. She had been waiting for so long that she thought she was about to be defeated here, but in the end, it was the other party who couldn't hold back.
