"Check!"

"Take your chariot!"

"Catch your cannon!"

"Snatch your horse!"

"Hit your elephant!"

...

In Victory Park, Old Liu's laughter echoed like thunder, as he looked at Zhang Lingfeng sitting opposite him, head down, speechless, seemingly caught in a dead-end situation. Around Old Liu, several older men were mocking him.

"It's getting late, we need to go home for dinner. Young man, you should practice more at home. To us, the chess games you study are at an elementary school level."

"It's not a good thing for young people to be obsessed with chess. Looking at your age, you should be a Martial Dao student. You should focus on cultivation because you can't beat us at chess."

"Hahaha, you actually wanted to use a back-rank mate to finish me off, it really cracks me up."

"Old Liu, you've made him all depressed."

A group of older men laughed.

"Hmph, thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank, just you wait."

Zhang Lingfeng packed up the chessboard and stormed off angrily, not expecting that after three hours of meticulously studying chess, the result was as dismal as last night, with over ten consecutive losses.

Being completely crushed by Old Liu.

"You haven't taken your book yet!"

"What kind of book is it? The Basic Cultivation Method of the Sea of Consciousness. Can you even understand such a book?"

"Wow, this guy is even studying the Sea of Consciousness. Old Liu, he wants to become a Mental Telekinesis Master and forced you to let him win."

Several older men laughed again.

As it turns out, Zhang Lingfeng had once again forgotten the Basic Cultivation Method of the Sea of Consciousness book that he used as a seat cushion, he returned with a frustrated expression to take it away.

"The book in your hand looks just like the one my granddaughter brought back from the Divine Thought Class. But with your level, there's no way you could be in the Divine Thought Class. Those who can cultivate within it will all become Mental Telekinesis Masters in the future."

Old Liu mocked.

"What's your granddaughter's name?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

"Liu Baoqin!"

Old Liu replied.

Zhang Lingfeng thought for a moment. Indeed, there seemed to be a girl named Liu Baoqin in the Divine Thought Class, someone who was very active in class and had decent grades.

In the evening.

"Mr. Huang, the ratings for this batch of students are out. Liu Baoqin's Sea of Consciousness is the most active, possibly being the first to open the Sea of Consciousness, while as for Zhang Lingfeng, up to now, we have not detected any observable Sea of Consciousness."

The teacher with the surname Ma said.

He delivered a document to Huang Ling.

"Mr. Huang, the investigation you requested has results. This contains the people Zhang Lingfeng has interacted with after leaving the Divine Thought Class, and they're all... older men."

An intern said.

"Older men?"

Huang Ling was quite surprised and couldn't help but start to read.

"He actually went to the park to play chess with a group of old men and lost over ten consecutive games. With such terrible chess skills, he still dares to play chess!"

"Zhou Rongsheng, age 72, resident of Building 3, Apartment 1201 in Yangzhou District, moved to Inner Ring City with his children thirteen years ago, is very active in Victory Park, hobbies are playing chess and playing the erhu."

"Dong Bo, age 63, retired after an injury from the front line, moved to Inner Ring City twenty years ago, hobbies are playing chess and drinking, and dancing with other people's wives."

"Qian Er, age 59, lives in New Rong District, moved to Inner Ring City ten years ago, hobbies are playing chess, drinking, and massage, once detained by the City Guard over a prostitution fee issue."

"Liu Jinshan, age 69, resident of Villa Area Building 25, hobbies are playing chess, bird walking, playing the suona, and kicking shuttlecock, granddaughter Liu Baoqin, 19th-term student of Divine Thought Class."

Huang Ling carefully examined each person Zhang Lingfeng interacted with, discovering that each of them was the most notable among older men until Liu Jinshan caught her attention.

He was actually the grandfather of the student most likely to be the first to become a Mental Telekinesis Master of this term.

"Zhang Lingfeng spent an entire afternoon playing chess with Liu Baoqin's grandfather. Could it be... Zhang Lingfeng is trying to get close to Liu Baoqin?"

Huang Ling frowned and said.

Liu Baoqin was not only an outstanding member of this year's cohort but also a freshman Martial Dao student at Starry Sky University, as beautiful as a flower, and extremely captivating.

In some aspects, she was even more dazzling than her daughter Chen Duling.

Thinking about how senior high school is the age when romantic feelings start to develop, Huang Ling realized the issue and felt it necessary to delve deeper to avoid wasting the cultivation talents of two prodigies.

Subsequently, she also brought up the situation with Huo Guoqiong.

"Hmph, if this is indeed the case, Zhang Lingfeng doesn't need to stay in the Divine Thought Class. I will personally report the situation to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, to have Zhang Lingfeng expelled from the Divine Thought Class."

"This..."

"No need to say more, the Divine Thought Class does not nurture wastrels, especially those who lose over ten consecutive games!"

Huo Guoqiong was resolute in her stance.
