Login with GoogleChapter 2 Do Not Belittle Oneself Unnecessarily
With a slight sense of regret, Jing Jing arrived at the Galaxy University.
During these two months of vacation, he didn't do any thing but exhaustively practice his physical abilities at home, but he still could not break through to the level of fourth-order paranormal abilities. He didn't even reach the level of second-order paranormal ability.
The college entrance examination was quite a challenge, which could be compared to a "triathlon" in the past.
If the virus hadn't come before, maybe not everyone would have awakened their abilities. Among ten thousand people, only one person would be able to complete the triathlon. However, now that everyone has mutated and has abilities, it's different. Everyone uses the triathlon as the basic direction for their test.
The ability that Jingjing awakened was the useless 'light' ability .
It is said to be useless, but it is actually quite useful. His mind is so agile because of the boost from the light energy ability. However, the light energy ability doesn't enhance physical strength in any way. That is to say, he was able to pass the martial arts test purely because of the training he had given himself!
The fourth-level ability is considered entry-level and the ninth-level ability is considered top-notch. However, he possesses the light-elemental ability, yet he doesn't know why his training speed is so slow...
Xu Jiao and him grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Naturally, they developed feelings for each other. Under the guidance of Jing Jing, Xu Jiao's grades improved significantly, and more importantly, her ranking in the martial arts department was in the top 1000! This could be attributed to her possession of the water-elemental ability, and as a fourth-level ability user, her ability to enhance her physical fitness was not insignificant. If she used it skillfully, she could easily pass the martial arts exam in less than 20 minutes.
Therefore, they parted ways, with one entering the top-ranked Starry Sky University, and Jing Jing being admitted out of the ordinary due to his outstanding cultural achievements, to the Galaxy University.
To be honest, if he didn't have this academic achievement, he could only go to a second-rate university.
But if you think about it carefully, it's quite terrifying. The ability to manipulate light doesn't give him any advantage in the military science exams, but he still managed to rank among the top ten thousand. Doesn't that mean he would have been a rare talent in the world before? Like a medalist in a triathlon?
Only Jingjing knew how much effort he had put into it.
Upon entering the Galaxy University, Jing Jing gazed upon the promotional films displayed in the vast field, feeling slightly absent-minded.
At this moment, most of the students have gathered here, watching the promotional video.
The plot is simple: Most of the people were performing their duties, some were doing research, others were enhancing their abilities, and some were reading books diligently...
Jing's eyes involuntarily lit up upon witnessing this scene.
Is this a university?
The voice of a person seemed to respond to Jing's thoughts, "This is the Milky Way University, where all are welcome! No one is useless here, and if you are willing, even if you don't have superpowers, you can find your own path. That's what university is about! I hope that you will not underestimate yourselves!"
On the podium of the grand playground, a robust man with bulging muscles and sharply defined contours suddenly emerged. His voice was not loud just now, yet it transmitted to the ears of each and every person present.
"I am the dean of the research institute, Yuan Weimin! A ninth-order esper!" This sturdy man is the dean of the institute. Upon closer inspection of his face, not only are his features distinct, but there is also a goatee on his chin, seemingly untrimmed.
"I am the dean of the manufacturing institute, my name is Huang Shiyun, an eighth-order psychic!" A slightly weak-looking woman stepped forward.
"I am Chen Jianhui, the dean of the College of Literature, and an eighth-level paranormal!" A frail-looking man stood up, seeming to fit well with his position as the dean of the College of Literature.
"I am the Dean of the Intelligence Academy, Liang Shengquan, a seven-stage mutant!" A shadow appeared, but no one could see his appearance clearly.
Is the Dean, who has the weakest strength also really a Level 7 Esper?
Jing was astonished to find that there were many strong individuals present in this place.
The four deans included a top-notch ninth-level Esper, two eighth-level Espers who were slightly inferior to him, and a dean from the intelligence academy who, despite appearing weaker than the first three, had an almost invisible figure and was actually a seventh-level Esper.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why we need to develop the military sciences?"
As they looked upon the bewildered and naive youngsters, the expressions of the teachers immediately became grave.
"Why are we called Starry Sky and Galaxy University? It's because within the vast expanse of the starry sky, there are countless races. Before you enroll, I can tell you in advance that our Earth is nothing more than a so-called transit station!"
"Since the development of our superpowers, our planet Earth has been exposed to others, becoming a target that can be attacked at any time! Imagine if our planet becomes a transit point, where at any time, anywhere, we can open a wormhole to enter other strategic fortresses. How vital would this high ground be for the war?"
Jing's brain rapidly spun, and he immediately understood.
Fighting in a transit station is similar to the situation when you're fighting on a mountaintop on Earth. You can stand above and overlook others, catching them off guard. The same is true for the interstellar transit station.
"Now, do you know why it's important to develop martial arts?"
A bold classmate spoke out, "To resist foreign invasions!"
"No, not entirely correct," Yuan Weimin looked at the classmate. "Bravery is commendable, but that's not entirely correct!"
"Since we entered the interstellar era, we began to have our own plan called the 'Galactic Plan'! I can responsibly tell you that the proposal of the Galactic Plan means that we are not only passively defending ourselves, but we also plan to occupy the commanding heights!"
"Every year, nearly thirty people join our team and become part of the Galactic Program. These individuals have the highest sacrifice rate, as they are required to launch counterattacks and are considered the human elite!"
"However, don't think that just because you are not qualified to join the Galaxy Plan team, that you will be free from danger! The safety of Earth is currently under threat from other invading creatures, and by joining the university you too must assume the responsibility of protecting the Earth!"
Yuan Weimin gave a signal to the other three people and the four of them simultaneously shouted, "Now, if you want to drop out of university and retract your special abilities, but avoid any risk to your life, step forward!"
No one moved at first, but after a few seconds, several cowards stepped forward, sparse and scattered, probably around ten people.
Yuan Weimin furrowed his brow. "Today, the removal of your abilities means that you will have no chance of self-protection and will be just like ordinary people! However, if you betray the Earth in the future, there will be no tolerance!"
After speaking, he flew up into the air, crackling with lightning all over his body; when these lightning bolts touched those that had stepped forward, they immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Losing your supernatural power... might not be a bad thing, at least you won't have to come into contact with that level..." Yuan Weimin sighed and murmured to himself.
Watching these people, Yuan Weimin shook his head and then said, "Next, choose your university!"
