Chapter 25 Tempering 5
"You said... Is it possible for someone with a B-level mental strength to pilot a mecha?"
Inside Instructor Chen's residence, Kion, who was talking to him through the holographic projection, had a speechless expression on his face.
"Chen Ai, have you taught those bastards to be stupid?" He pointed his finger twice in frustration, looking like he wanted to scold Instructor Chen from a distance. "Nan Yiyue, how many people died in Master Forging Dreams' laboratory back then? Anyone with less than A-level mental strength would have their entire body collapse the moment they entered the mecha. What are you so crazy about?"
Instructor Chen's mind flashed with the figure moving through the night, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "You're right, I was the one who provoked these bastards these past two days."
Kion grinned. "If you miss me, just tell me. Wait, I'll be back in two days. I'll take the brats out for some fun practice then."

In the infirmary, Sun Liao's resentful eyes seemed to be glued to Xu Lingqu, never leaving his gaze for a moment.
Xu Lingqu entered the cubicle and let the household robot clean himself first. He also wanted to keep an eye on it and couldn't wait to rush in.
Doctor Li turned around and looked at him: "Did you also have eye problems from the fall?"
Sun Liao looked away awkwardly, thinking about how he was kicked by both Jin and Xu Xizhen today, his heart was filled with resentment and anger, but he couldn't vent it.
It’s all Xu Lingqu’s fault, it’s all this woman’s fault.
As soon as he came back, he went to the infirmary to start treatment. His ankle was sprained and the treatment took a long time. He kept a close eye on Xu Lingqu's movements on the intelligent computer the whole time, waiting for bad news. As a result, the man returned triumphantly, making all the curses Sun Liao had cast before come to nothing.
After cleaning himself up, Xu Lingqu, who was finally not so embarrassed anymore, came out. After being connected to the treatment equipment, he leaned aside and fell asleep. He never kept his eyes on Sun Liao for a single second during the whole process.
Sometimes, ignoring someone is much more hurtful than despising them. Sun Liao was so angry that he acted out his inner drama for a long time but it was just a one-man show that no one paid attention to. He could only brainwash himself and think that out of sight, out of mind. He turned his head to the side and fell asleep.
The body's functions were recovering, and this time, there was no doomsday in Xu Lingqu's dream.
She stood in the darkness, and soon a mountain house appeared in front of her. Xu Lingqu hesitated for a moment, but finally pushed the door open and walked in. A young man she didn't know was sitting behind the tea table, looking up at her with a smile. The wind blew through the eaves of the bamboo house, making the wind chimes on the roof tinkle.
Two seconds later, the dream became distorted and blurry, and Xu Lingqu woke up. All the people in the infirmary had left, and she was the only one left.
Xu Lingqu took off the instrument and was about to walk out when Dr. Li stopped her.
"It's curfew time. The instructor requires everyone to return to the dormitory, but I let you stay. Your treatment process is not over yet. I will wait until you wake up." Doctor Li crossed his fingers and turned to look at Xu Lingqu.
Having said that, there must be something very important that he wants to tell him. Xu Lingqu lowered his eyes and said, "Is there something wrong with my body, doctor?"
What Dr. Li wanted to talk to her about must be about physical problems, so Xu Lingqu subconsciously made a worse expectation and plan.
Dr. Li projected the data visualization onto the screen in the air: "This is your body data for two days, yesterday and today. In just 24 hours, you have made great improvements in your basic physical fitness and body functions."
Her face was a mixture of disbelief and doubt. "Considering your current training volume, I've discovered that as long as you consistently push your body to its limits and then receive effective recovery treatment, your basic skills and physical functions will experience a qualitative leap."
"It's a shame I haven't collected all your physical data over the past few days. Otherwise, I'd guess your first breakthrough was after the Xilek Condensate provided you with treatment." Doctor Li stood up and stared at Xu Lingqu. "You've felt it yourself, so that's why other students are reluctant to come to me, but you have a special liking for it. You realized it had a special effect on you a few days ago, right?"
Xu Lingqu nodded sincerely, "Indeed, I have nothing to hide. My health was so bad I could vomit blood if I took even a few steps. Lately, I've noticed that every time I wake up, I feel revitalized. Is that a problem?"
Although she had always felt a strange sense of familiarity with this body, her control over it was limited to the point where she could defeat seven enemies in a single combat, and she had no idea how to improve her physical fitness quickly.
So she believed that the improvement of her physical fitness was due to this condensed object.
She appeared calm on the surface, but she was a little nervous inside. After all, she couldn't be sure whether her special physical condition was caused by the soul of the apocalyptic era being carried in this body.
Just when everyone was getting nervous, Dr. Li smiled. She reached out and touched her icy blue hair. "We actually have cases of people with your condition in our medical database, but they're extremely rare, only two at the moment. I heard there are other cases in the Federation, but they're unwilling to share them with us."
She spread her hands helplessly and continued, "At this point, I don't have enough data to prove that you have this physique. Such physiques tend to have some congenital deficiencies, which perfectly aligns with your previous physical condition. It's precisely because the training over the past two days has been pushing the limits of your body's endurance, yet you've persevered, and you've been able to receive powerful recovery treatments to repair your body afterwards, which is what you believe is the Xilek Condensate that is so useful to you."
"In this situation, your special constitution is awakened. As long as you maintain this state, you will become stronger and stronger... However, challenging your limits requires sufficient self-control and precision. Otherwise, even a little less will lead to failure, and even a little more will be suicide."
It's actually like this.
According to the doctor, the Xilek Condensate only plays a supporting role. What's more important is her special constitution...
So she thinks that her ability to control and familiarity with this body is also related to the special physique of this body itself?
Dr. Li looked at the girl before him. From the outside, she still looked pale and frail. The biggest change from two days ago was perhaps a rosier complexion. She now had a slightly surprised expression. Compared to her usual stern expression, she looked much cuter now.
Doctor Li thought for a moment and decided to give Xu Lingqu some confidence: "To be honest, besides you, the only other case of this special physique is Admiral Galaxy. He is the most powerful and greatest mecha warrior in the interstellar era. With his example, you, a newcomer, can't be too bad."
Hearing Admiral Galaxy's name again, Xu Lingqu's heart skipped a beat.
"What a pity, my mental strength level is B." She smiled and accepted Dr. Li's bowl of spiritual chicken soup, and continued to pretend to be decent on the surface.
"Then you can become the strongest commander." Doctor Li was extremely excited. If Xu Lingqu could really prove that she had the same special physique as Admiral Galaxy, then she would be able to make a name for herself in the medical history of the Interstellar Empire. So now she couldn't wait to pull Xu Lingqu to feed her chicken soup every day and urge her to become stronger.
"I'm telling you this today because I hope you'll cooperate more often in coming to the infirmary for checkups so I can get more data to confirm this." Doctor Li got back to the point. "By the way, I'll let your instructor know once I have more data to support my claims."
She was so sleepy that someone brought her a pillow. She would come to the infirmary every day without Dr. Li telling her. Xu Lingqu agreed decisively: "No problem."
Dr. Li felt that he had said everything he needed to say, so he opened the door and let Xu Lingqu go back to the dormitory.
Standing at the door of the infirmary, Xu Lingqu rubbed his hands and looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The stars here are more numerous and brighter than those in the end times of the earth, like a long river of stars.
Milky Way, she thought of the fellow countryman who was suspected to be from the Earth like her.
This legendary admiral, whose name has been mentioned by countless people, has come to an end in his time, and his name has become a legendary monument that everyone remembers.
The legendary era of Xu Lingqu is just beginning.
