Who is the first?
Whether it's an exam or a competition, everyone hopes to be number one. Only the first place truly leaves a mark in people's memories; as for second place, who cares?
Ye Yu was somewhat surprised by his score. According to what he had seen earlier, he had scored over ninety on a hundred-point exam, and at the First Military Academy, anyone who scored ninety or above was usually the absolute top scorer. However, this time there was clearly someone exceptional; Ye Yu couldn't help but wonder who could have done better than him. After all, he had essentially cheated in plain sight, maintaining the best mental state throughout the exam.
"The first place... ninety-eight points... Wow, that's the highest score in the First Military Academy's history for this exam, right? I remember last year's best score was only ninety-one!" At that moment, more and more students gathered around the Rookie Rankings. Although they hadn't performed particularly well themselves, they were still very interested in those who made it onto the list. Naturally, all students entering the First Military Academy were exceptionally intelligent; not everyone could achieve such a score, so it was worth getting to know them, and if possible, making friends.
"Who is this person... Chen Tang... I've never heard of him!" A girl's voice rang out among the crowd. Indeed, many people were unfamiliar with Chen Tang; even most of his classmates didn't know much about him.
However, even the loneliest person has acquaintances, and among those present were Ye Yu and Xia Chiu.
"Old Chen... I think I just heard someone call your name!" Wang Jiu exaggeratedly scratched his head while looking at Chen Tang, seemingly trying to confirm something.
"You didn't hear wrong; someone indeed called my name!" Chen Tang did not deny it and smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief.
"First place... you actually got first place..." Xia Chiu stared at Chen Tang with disbelief.
"We should go somewhere else!" Ye Yu suggested as he noticed more and more onlookers gathering around them. He felt quite shocked himself but decided to suppress his curiosity for now.
As the oldest student in First Year Class Two, Chen Tang had always been diligent and kind-hearted. No one expected him to be the top scorer in this exam; he might even be the best scorer in the history of the First Military Academy for this subject. Ye Yu felt a mix of emotions as he looked at his companion. Perhaps the First Military Academy truly had an eye for talent; everyone who got in must possess something extraordinary.
The group moved quickly and soon arrived at a Pavilion located in a secluded corner where there weren't many people around.
"Really, Old Chen, I'm quite surprised. I could accept it if it were Big Ye, Nasha, or Xia Chiu who came in first, but you? I just can't believe it!" Wang Jiu's words, though blunt, echoed the thoughts of everyone present.
Chen Tang wasn't angry; he simply smiled and said, "You all keep forgetting one thing. I'm eleven years older than the best Ye Yu. Do you think I've lived all these years for nothing?"
With that, the crowd felt a bit more at ease, but they also understood that age wasn't the only factor. If age alone determined success, then anyone over a hundred would surely score perfect marks.
"Of course, there's another reason..." Chen Tang continued, his gaze shifting to Ye Yu, his face filled with gratitude.
"Your... Psychic Power has broken through!" Ye Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Chen Tang.
Just moments ago, Ye Yu had used his Mental Power to probe Chen Tang and discovered that his Mental Power level had already reached Planetary Level Beginner! It had only been three months since Chen Tang first learned about Mental Power, and he had managed to break through the first barrier through sheer effort.
"Unbelievable!" Nasha, who had been silent until now, slowly uttered those two words. As someone who had also practiced Mental Power, she understood the difficulty involved. She had tried to cultivate Psychic Power over the past few months but had mostly met with failure.
"It truly is remarkable to achieve a breakthrough in such a short time!" Although Ye Yu had also advanced quickly in his Mental Power training, it was partly due to the help he received from Huang Laowai and partly because he had faced life-and-death situations that pushed his potential to its limits. It took him less than a year to reach his current level.
"We'll have to cling to Old Chen's coattails from now on! At this rate of progress, by next year at most, Old Chen's Mental Power will be the strongest among First Year students!" Wang Jiu couldn't hide his envy at that moment. He had thought himself stronger than Chen Tang among the five of them, but now it seemed he would be left behind.
"Alright, enough about me. You all don't know how much simulation training I've done or how many case studies I've worked through. Achieving this result is actually quite normal; otherwise, why would the First Military Academy accept someone like me?"
After the initial joy wore off, Chen Tang's emotions stabilized. He looked at everyone and said, "Now the key point is still the second exam! In the first round we fought individually, but in the second round it's all about teamwork. Plus, as a simulated exam environment, our settings will be limited within certain parameters. Having strength won't matter much if we can't work together!"
"Yes, Old Chen is right!" Wang Jiu was the first to nod in agreement; after all, in his mind at that moment, coming in first truly meant being exceptional.
The group moved quickly, arriving at a Pavilion in just a few minutes. This place was situated in a remote corner, and at this time, there weren't many people around.
"Honestly, Old Chen, I'm quite surprised. I could accept it if either Big Ye, Nasha, or Xia Chiu had come in first, but you? I really didn't see that coming!" Wang Jiu's words were blunt, but they reflected the thoughts of everyone present.
Chen Tang wasn't angry; he simply smiled and said, "You all keep forgetting one thing. I'm eleven years older than the youngest Ye Yu. Do you think I've lived all these years for nothing?"
The others felt a bit relieved by this explanation, but they also knew that age wasn't the only factor. If age alone determined success, then those over a hundred years old would all score perfect marks on any test.
"Of course, there's another reason..." When Chen Tang reached this point, his gaze turned toward Ye Yu, his face filled with gratitude.
"Your... Psychic Power has broken through!" Ye Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Chen Tang.
