Chapter 28: Baseball Training Hall
Chapter 28: Baseball Training Hall
It's important to understand that the human brain domain's potential is limitless, with nearly a hundred million neurons. It is both mysterious and fragile. Before awakening the Beastmaster Codex, the brain domain is considered to be in a dormant state.
After awakening the Beastmaster Codex, the brain domain is considered to be in an awakened state.
A high IQ does not necessarily indicate the level of brain domain development. The percentage of Brain Domain Development is calculated from the moment the Beastmaster Codex is awakened.
A typical Beastmaster, after being awakened through magnetic wave stimulation, would have a brain domain development of around 2%. A Spontaneous Awakening Beastmaster, on the other hand, would have a brain domain development of around 5%.
More Brain Domain Development is naturally better, but stability is crucial.
Throughout history, many researchers have conducted experiments related to Brain Domain Development, and all have concluded that stability is key. If the brain domain is unstable, it could collapse.
Although Qiao Sang had previously sent a photo of his Spontaneous Awakening proof to the admissions office, everyone was so excited about having a Spontaneous Awakening Special Recruitment student apply that they didn't pay much attention to the details.
However...
Chen Shengtang glanced at Fangflare. Since this child managed to successfully bond with a familiar, the brain domain issue shouldn't be a problem.
He thought for a moment but still couldn't help asking, "Did the person who conducted your brain domain assessment say anything to you?"
Qiao Sang nodded. "She said my brain domain fluctuates a lot and advised me to get more rest and eat more nuts."
That should be fine. If the brain domain fluctuations were too severe, hospital observation would be necessary.
Chen Shengtang breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want the only Spontaneous Awakening Special Recruitment student to have any issues since the school's founding.
At that moment, the male teacher sitting opposite Chen Shengtang casually asked, "Your dark circles are quite heavy. Didn't you get enough rest?"
Qiao Sang felt a bit embarrassed. "I stayed up all night last night."
Chen Shengtang: "……"
"Although the High School Entrance Exam is approaching, you should get proper rest and not stay up all night studying", Chen Shengtang earnestly advised.
Qiao Sang, feeling a bit guilty because he had stayed up all night due to the loss of 5,000 Union Coins, nodded silently.
Seeing Qiao Sang's obedient demeanor, Chen Shengtang's thoughts returned to the brain domain.
If there were no issues, once the brain domain stabilizes, this child's brain domain threshold fluctuation range could reach up to 9%—just one step away from the Second Awakening of the Beastmaster Codex!
Although it's unlikely...
Normally, such brain domain fluctuations eventually stabilize at the lowest value or slightly above it.
Chen Shengtang stopped speculating and returned the information card and Spontaneous Awakening proof to Qiao Sang. He then turned to introduce the only bald male teacher in the room.
"This is Teacher Zhao, who will be responsible for your brain domain assessment."
"Hello, Teacher Zhao", Qiao Sang said.
Teacher Zhao nodded at Qiao Sang as a greeting.
"Don't let his appearance fool you. He is a genuine brain domain expert", Chen Shengtang smiled.
Indeed, experts in any field seem to have less hair...
...
In the testing room.
With the experience from the first assessment, Qiao Sang was much more relaxed this time and didn't let Teacher Zhao's subtle expressions affect him.
With Qiao Sang's cooperation, the assessment was completed quickly.
As the door opened:
"Yah!"
Fangflare's eyes lit up at the sight of Qiao Sang and happily pounced over, nearly causing Qiao Sang to stumble.
Since Fangflare had been wearing the gravity ring, Qiao Sang hadn't held it much. Fangflare also knew that it was now a bit heavy for its Beastmaster to hold for long periods. After staying in Qiao Sang's arms for 10 seconds, it jumped down.
"You two have a great relationship", Chen Shengtang couldn't help but comment from the side.
It was his first time seeing a Fire Pet Beast that was so obedient and affectionate towards its master after bonding.
"Hmm." Qiao Sang smiled in response.
All the teachers who were in the office earlier had gathered outside the testing room, waiting for Qiao Sang to come out.
The elaborate setup for a simple test made Qiao Sang, who wasn't nervous, start to feel a bit tense.
Teacher Zhao handed the test results to Chen Shengtang and said seriously, "There are no issues, it just hasn't stabilized yet."
Chen Shengtang took the results and saw that they matched the proof of Spontaneous Awakening.
Special Recruitment students who had undergone Spontaneous Awakening were given a reduction in their High School Entrance Exam scores based on the degree of Brain Domain Development. Each school had different standards for Special Recruitment students.
For their school, the Special Recruitment benefit was a 100-point reduction for a 5% Brain Domain Development, and a 200-point reduction for 6%.
However, Qiao Sang's brain domain was still fluctuating and had not stabilized to a specific percentage.
This was a bit of a problem.
But it wasn't a major issue.
Chen Shengtang had already made his decision. He looked up at Qiao Sang and smiled, "Your brain domain hasn't stabilized yet, so we'll take a middle value and give you a reduction."
Typically, if the brain domain fluctuates between 5% and 9%, it should stabilize at either 5% or 6%.
But Chen Shengtang directly decided that her brain domain was 7%.
The other teachers nearby didn't seem surprised by this.
This was the first Spontaneous Awakening Beastmaster to apply to their school since its founding. Whether it was a 100-point or a 300-point reduction on the High School Entrance Exam didn't matter; what mattered was showing their school's stance.
As long as she applied to Hanggang Sixth Beastmaster High School, the doors would be wide open for her!
Qiao Sang naturally understood the implications.
Most ordinary Beastmaster High Schools only listed the reduction standards for 5% to 6% Brain Domain Development for Spontaneous Awakening Beastmasters.
That was because, over five years, a province might not even produce one Spontaneous Awakening Beastmaster with a brain domain of 7% or higher.
If there were any, they certainly wouldn't apply to an ordinary Beastmaster High School.
She couldn't help but feel moved. This meant she could get a 300-point reduction on the High School Entrance Exam, essentially telling her that she was already accepted.
"Thank you", Qiao Sang said.
...
...
After saying goodbye to Hanggang Sixth Beastmaster High School, it was only 10:32 AM.
Unlike the past few days, Qiao Sang didn't take Fangflare to Tea Osmanthus Park for training.
Instead, she went to the third floor of Vele Square.
Baseball Training Hall.
After paying for two hours, Qiao Sang took Fangflare to the Mechanical Training Room inside.
This Baseball Training Hall was designed for practicing baseball, but Qiao Sang found it perfect for training Fangflare's neural reaction speed.
The Mechanical Training Room was only about ten square meters, with only two pitching machines inside.
"Fangflare, try to dodge the balls that will be coming. I'll be here with you, and if you get tired, just let me know", Qiao Sang said.
Fangflare, though unsure where the balls would come from, nodded obediently.
The pitching machines had six settings, with the ball speed increasing from the first to the sixth setting.
Fangflare's gravity ring on her right front paw wasn't removed. Qiao Sang went to the pitching machine and set it to the first speed.
Both pitching machines started, and the balls were not fast. Qiao Sang easily dodged one and then sat down in a corner.
