The Strongest Brain in the Interstellar

If one had to say, this situation wasn’t really a coincidence because Lu Jin did have a reason to seek out this student.

Since Lu Jin had graduated, he had been in relatively infrequent contact with Michael, except for annual reports and some social gatherings. After all, both of their jobs were busy, and they couldn’t afford to communicate frequently.

Unexpectedly, a while ago, he suddenly received a message from his teacher, who asked him to take care of a partially awakened student who had suffered from brain domain damage, noting that the student’s brain condition might be unusual.

This wasn’t surprising. Lu Jin knew that his teacher, Michael, was a kind-hearted elder who sponsored students facing difficulties in their studies each year. He was also willing to mentor talented young students, and Lu Jin was one of them.

Furthermore, he was one of the students Michael was particularly fond of. Currently, he was assigned to the local star system for practical training, and once his qualifications and experience improved, he would return to the central star district.

However, Michael had specifically instructed him that this child, who had a high awakening level, had an unusual awakening situation. Afterward, she accidentally experienced brain domain damage, and while she was gradually recovering function, Michael was concerned that she might develop other symptoms during her recovery and wanted Lu Jin to find time to check on her again.

Lu Jin originally planned to compare the final test data by checking the student roster. After all, this was the school’s public inspection, and it wouldn’t be good to make a scene, nor would it be beneficial for the student involved.

However, unexpectedly, during a casual patrol, he came across that child, who seemed to be facing a small problem that was difficult to resolve.

Upon seeing this, he realized it might be the very situation that worried his teacher the most, so he promptly decided to take the student back to the medical office.

Lu Jin was the overall coordinator for the school’s inspection this time. In addition to overseeing the entire testing venue and compiling all the students’ test data and information, he was also responsible for addressing any minor issues that arose during the testing.

In the past, there were rarely any problems because this was just an instrument used for the entrance examination of a mid-level college, with average precision. It seldom detected any unusual issues, and Jiang Hui was the first case of the day.

So regardless of whether the person was Jiang Hui or not, Lu Jin had to bring her to the medical office. No matter how important the testing and training were, they paled in comparison to the physical condition of a partially awakened person, something the school could certainly understand.

As a result, upon further examination, a problem was discovered.

For normal individuals, the brain domain generally exists in a balanced state, whether strong or weak, allowing for flexibility in control. However, some individuals may experience an imbalance in their intracranial brain domain due to congenital factors or external stimuli, leading to either a closed internal brain domain or an externally projected brain domain.

As the name suggests, the internal closed state of power is in contrast to the external projected state.

Jiang Hui clearly fell into the former category. Her spiritual power was beginning to trend toward an internal retraction, hardly spilling outward, and was compressed within her brain domain. It required specific methods or more effort than usual for her to project it externally.

Other than this characteristic, there didn’t seem to be any other abnormalities.

This condition has its advantages and disadvantages for those engaged in high-demand spiritual power professions.

After all, under normal circumstances, the inability to flexibly control spiritual power and the extra steps required to project it are significant limitations for high-level awakened individuals.

However, if Jiang Hui were to engage in a specific high-demand spiritual power profession, this internal closed state would not hinder her; instead, it would allow her to perform more precise operations with her spiritual power. Moreover, this kind of power tends to be stronger and more concentrated when unleashed.

Regardless of the situation, this internal brain domain represents a mutation of a normal brain domain, categorizing it as an abnormal condition. Generally, individuals in such situations seek ways to treat it.

When it came to the professional details, Lu Jin found himself unable to stop, speaking endlessly. After he finished, he noticed that Jiang Hui’s eyes were nearly rolling back in her head; it seemed she understood some parts but struggled with many others.

Realizing he had perhaps been too excited, Therapist Lu quickly apologized. He then conducted several additional tests on Jiang Hui and concluded that her brain domain indeed exhibited symptoms of an internal closed state, and the degree of this condition seemed to be quite significant, subtly affecting her output of spiritual power. This was why the normal mid-level machine had been unable to detect her spiritual power.

Jiang Hui quietly listened to the other person’s simple explanation and finally asked, “May I ask what my current spiritual power recognition level is?”

“… Level A. Currently, all machine measurement readings are peaking at slightly above Level A, with the highest reading likely coming from the initial spiritual power oscillation frequency converter, which is close to A+.”

Oh, that’s a relief; her level hasn’t changed for now.

Jiang Hui had been worried that after hearing all that, the other person would tell her that her spiritual power was actually at a higher level, and that the so-called internal closed state was causing the readings to be lower. It now seemed that this so-called internal closure was merely a state of her brain domain.

Therapist Lu seemed to read her thoughts and said somewhat helplessly, “The intermediate school here doesn’t have high-precision measuring instruments. If you want accurate measurements, you would need to go to places with high-precision measuring equipment for clear testing.”

“However, in your case, there shouldn’t be too much difference between the actual level and the readings. During the measurement of peak wavelength fluctuations earlier, your spiritual power changes were quite normal, and even the output recording frequency was somewhat overly regular, which doesn’t meet the criteria for anomalies. So, even if there is a discrepancy between your actual spiritual power and the readings, it shouldn’t be significant.”

However, this internal closed brain domain may affect Jiang Hui’s speed and intensity of spiritual power output. The other person told her that if she didn’t want it to affect her future mecha operations, she might need to intentionally train in this area in addition to treatment.

If the training is successful, the internal closed brain domain could also provide advantages in sensory precision. Even if she is treated, this sensory precision would remain in her brain domain, becoming a form of expanded ability.

Moreover, Lu Jin did not mention to the child that, based on his years of medical experience, if Jiang Hui underwent three awakenings, she would definitely reach S-level if there were no accidents. She couldn’t escape the reality of needing a profession that requires high levels of spiritual power.

She really needed to address this issue.

Jiang Hui was about to ask something else when she heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Both individuals in the room turned to look, and since the door was not opened, they could see the newcomer directly. The person pressed their lips together and asked, “Is there anything else to pay attention to regarding her condition?”

It was Instructor Stark. Jiang Hui instinctively stood up, surprised that he had come and seemed to have already heard quite a bit of the conversation.
