The darkness of chaos, mist diffusing.
Lin Beichen was like a headless fly, wandering confusedly around the lightless expanse, unable to find a way out.
Suddenly!
The heavens and earth trembled, the chaos was torn open, and a brilliant white ray shot out from the fissure, shining upon Lin Beichen.
At the same time, a majestic and warm voice echoed across the heavens and earth!
"The universe is vast, the Dao is unpredictable."
"You have been reborn on Earth Star, with heaven-defying comprehension as your gift. When fortune blesses your spirit, you will understand all things!"
"..."
The ethereal voice had yet to fade.
The white light in front of Lin Beichen's eyes gradually dissipated. He felt as if he had just woken from a dream, suddenly jolting awake from the desk, drenched in sweat, and lifted his head to take in his surroundings.
It was a cozy room.
Stars flickered outside the window, the moon hung high, and the desk lamp shone brightly inside the room.
What was that sound?
Earth Star?
Heaven-defying comprehension?
Did I just have a dream…
A series of question marks quickly surfaced in Lin Beichen's mind, but before he could ponder over what had happened, fragments of memories surged into his mind.
Did I transmigrate?!
Even though Lin Beichen had read countless web novels in his previous life, he still needed time to process and accept the fact that such a thing had happened to him.
After sifting through the memories in his mind, he realized he had been reincarnated!
Reborn on Earth Star, a parallel world almost identical to his previous one, back to the time just before his college entrance exam.
Unexpectedly…
The wish he had before his death had come true!
...
In his previous life, Lin Beichen's college entrance exam scores were so low that he could not even get into a vocational college. Therefore, after graduating from high school, he had to start working, doing laborious and meticulous tasks, which led to his health deteriorating. At a young age, he had to face death.
At the end of his life, moments before he passed away, he reflected on his life, filled with endless regret, silently wishing he could live his life over again!
Who would have thought…
Heaven listened to his wish!
"Heaven-defying comprehension?"
Lin Beichen finally recalled the most crucial point of what he had just heard. His first reaction was to think of a system!
After all…
As a reincarnator, how could he be without the essential system?
However, after several attempts to interact with the supposed system without success, he suddenly had an epiphany, possibly due to his innate gift.
He didn't have a system!
"A reincarnator without a system? Isn't that like the West without Jerusalem?"
Lin Beichen was stunned. As a proper reincarnator, he actually had no system.
Fortunately, he still had extraordinary comprehension!
Now, as Lin Beichen's mind cleared, he gradually understood what had happened earlier.
The muddled words he heard in his mind were neither from a system nor the heavens; they actually came from his own subconscious.
His subconscious after reincarnation made him aware of his innate gift, which is why those words felt like a dream.
But…
Were those words a dream fragment or reality?
Moreover,
Heaven-defying comprehension?
What use did it have?
How could it be proven?
A trio of questions!
Thinking of the web novels he had read in his previous life, where protagonists used their systems to dominate parallel worlds, Lin Beichen, though without a system, felt a strange sense of competition and began contemplating how to realize his gift.
After pondering for a long time, as he slowly lifted his head from the desk, his gaze moved up to a row of textbooks and test papers on the bookshelf and piled on the desk, giving him an idea.
Study!
Lin Beichen wasn't quite sure how comprehension related to other things, but he understood the connection between comprehension and studying.
He recalled his school days, where his classmates who also skipped class to play online games always aced their exams, while he was always at the bottom. If asked about it, the answer would always be "I don't know, just natural talent." This made him grit his teeth in frustration.
Study talent was essentially comprehension, wasn't it?
Understanding of things?
Now that his comprehension was heaven-defying…
Would his grades still be poor?
Impossible!
Looking at the countdown timer reading "36 days until the college entrance exam," Lin Beichen felt a bit of anticipation. Glancing at the clock on the wall, it was nearly 1 AM. After all that had happened, he was exhausted. He yawned, stopped thinking, turned off the light, and went to bed, falling asleep right away.
He slept until before dawn.
Seniors in high school, especially those nearing the college entrance exam, sleep later than dogs and wake earlier than chickens.
When Lin Beichen arrived at the classroom, it was almost full, with the noisy sound of morning reading filling the room.
Everyone was focused on studying, paying no attention to Lin Beichen's arrival. Only his desk mate exchanged a few symbolic words with him before diving back into their studies.
"Senior year, the age of youth!"
Lin Beichen sighed, feeling touched by the familiar yet strange scene. He quickly took out the textbook for the first class, English, and began reading.
The first time, it felt like reading a celestial book, even harder than a celestial book!
The second time, it still felt like reading a celestial book, but this time, faint traces appeared on its blank pages.
...
He continued flipping through the textbook, as a mysterious feeling surged through him. He could sense that the letters forming words and the words forming sentences had a certain pattern, which deepened his understanding of the words and sentences he saw.
He couldn't forget them, he simply couldn't!
"It seems this gift is real and somewhat effective!"
In both his previous and current lives, Lin Beichen was not a good student. This feeling, which possibly only top students experienced, was highly addictive.
For a moment, Lin Beichen felt excited. After reincarnation, there was still a golden finger, just not a system but his innate comprehension gift!
He began studying textbooks from different subjects one after another.
However, he quickly realized that the knowledge he absorbed was somewhat inflexible. He had memorized it, but still lacked practical application skills.
He couldn't just cram knowledge aimlessly!
Lin Beichen knew this was because he lacked guidance, but he did not have to wait long; the guide quickly arrived—
Class time!
The English teacher arrived just as the bell rang, passionately beginning the lesson.
In this stage of sprinting towards the college entrance exam, both students and teachers put in two hundred percent effort.
Students' questions came one after another, and the teacher tirelessly explained them.
It was the same for English class, and for Chinese, mathematics, physics… every class was the same!
While English and Chinese didn't feel particularly special, subjects like mathematics and physics, which demanded high logical thinking…
Those were a whole different world!
As Lin Beichen listened to the Q&A, he had instant enlightenment!
Light bulbs flashed in his mind, his thoughts expanding like an ocean. The mental barriers he struggled with either collapsed or he found new ways to overcome them.
Not only did he understand instantly, but he could also extrapolate and apply his knowledge in different contexts!
His brilliant intellect quickly dominated!
As teachers often praised top students, "You have great spiritual light!"
