After Becoming an Alpha Upon Meeting an Alpha - Chapter 3

When the military doctors arrived, Su Yunshan had the robot butler let them in.

There were six military doctors in total. The one leading them was a female alpha dressed in an iron-gray military uniform. She saluted Su Yunshan. “Marshal.”

Su Yunshan nodded and said concisely, “Second floor.”

The female alpha led the others upstairs. Su Cha’s room was easy to find, because the robot butler would guide them there.

When they reached the door, the robot butler knocked. “Miss.”

No one answered from inside. Only wave after wave of surging pheromone scent rushed toward them. The rich, domineering mental power of an alpha filled the room, silently rejecting everyone’s approach.

The heavy pressure was almost too much for even the female alpha to withstand.

The leader could still endure it, but the military doctors behind her could not. That bone-deep sense of rejection was far too strong. It was at least at the peak of A-rank, and even seemed as if it were charging toward S-rank.

The military doctors all looked as if someone had grabbed them by the throat, their faces turning pale. Among the group who had come, aside from the female alpha leading them, who was A-rank, the rest were all B-rank. But unexpectedly, even so, they were still being suppressed by a child who had only just begun differentiating.

A B-rank male alpha following behind the female alpha panted roughly twice and said, “Lieutenant Su, Miss Su’s mental power level is already infinitely close to S-rank. I’m afraid we can’t stay here any longer. It would be very easy for us to be accidentally injured.”

Alphas in the middle of differentiation did not have good rationality. If they fell into a deep sleep, they would be even less able to control their mental power. At that point, everyone who entered their territory would be regarded as an enemy, and their mental power would automatically attack everyone present.

That was why many people would arrange for someone to examine their bodies before they were about to differentiate, then take them to a safe isolation room to undergo differentiation. This could ensure the safety of the person differentiating, as well as the safety of the surrounding buildings.

Because alphas in the middle of differentiation had astonishing destructive power. Either they injured themselves, or they injured others. There were even alphas whose mental power was too high for their bodies to bear, causing them to fail halfway through differentiation and die from self-destruction.

In order to avoid losses, the state had specially built these rooms.

Schools were the places where differentiation happened most often, so every school had a building with special rooms prepared for children whose differentiation period had arrived.

“I know.”

In truth, Su Jin was not having an easy time either. She was only A-rank. Every alpha possessed a strong sense of territory and possessiveness. Now, with only a single door separating them, they could already feel such pressure. This proved that the person inside had very strong potential.

As long as Su Cha broke through that layer of limitation, she would become an alpha at the very top of the empire.

But when Su Cha’s mental power touched that barrier, it unexpectedly did not break through. Su Jin could clearly feel Su Cha’s surging mental power striking at its limit, but the other party simply could not break through that barrier. It was very strange.

Based on what she felt, the other party’s mental power value had clearly already surpassed A-rank, but it had not reached the pressure she usually felt by Su Hanmo’s side. It was as if the other party had exceeded A-rank, yet had not reached a true S-rank, as though she were stuck somewhere in the middle.

No one had ever been like this before. This feeling was too strange.

Unable to figure out why, she said to the person beside her, “Go find Marshal Su. Tell him Su Cha’s condition is abnormal. We need Marshal Su’s mental power to suppress her so we can go in and investigate.”

“Yes.”

The other person was also stunned. His mental power was not as strong as Su Jin’s, so he had not noticed what was wrong with the other party’s surging mental power.

When Su Yunshan heard about Su Cha’s situation, he picked up a glass of water and took a sip. There was no emotion on his face. He only asked flatly, “You’re saying her condition is abnormal?”

The soldier lowered his eyes and looked at his toes. “Yes. Lieutenant Su said Su Cha’s condition is abnormal, and that she needs to borrow your mental power to go in and take a look.”

At this point, even someone foolish would be able to sense that something was wrong. Rumor had it that Su Yunshan did not favor this daughter born from an artificial womb. Even Su Hanmo, who was in the military, turned a blind eye to his younger sister, who used the Marshal’s Residence’s name to act arrogant and domineering all over the academy. The soldier had always thought it was false, but now, looking at it, it might actually be true.

This family truly did not care about Su Cha.

Su Yunshan slowly finished drinking the glass of water, then stood up. “Let’s go take a look.”

“Yes.”

.

Su Yunshan went upstairs and saw Su Jin standing respectfully at the door. After asking about the situation, he directly used his authority to open the room door.

The room was not messy like during an ordinary alpha’s differentiation. On the contrary, it seemed far too calm. Aside from the twisted mental power baring its claws and fangs around the room, the only especially eye-catching thing was Su Cha, who was lying on the bed curled up into a ball, her face so red it looked as if she were about to be cooked through.

Su Jin stepped forward and scanned Su Cha with her light brain. Su Cha’s external condition was sent to the light brain.

Her light brain’s authority level was fairly high. Because she was a military doctor, when she applied to examine an alpha in the differentiation period, the main system had granted her temporary permission to externally scan a person’s body.

[Name: Su Cha

Height: 176 cm

Gender: Alpha (differentiation in progress)

Mental Power: A+—S (?)

Potential: S+ (SS)

Body Temperature: 39.8°C (high fever; urgent cooling required)]

Su Jin’s brows drew tightly together. “Right now, she is in the middle of differentiating. She has just become an alpha, and all aspects of her body’s data are being adjusted. If we put her into a treatment pod now, the treatment pod will be directly destroyed. I suggest letting her endure it on her own.”

A faint flicker passed through Su Yunshan’s ice-blue eyes. He had also sensed that Su Cha’s mental power value was abnormal, but he said nothing. Instead, he felt that a daughter who could not even break through to S-rank was of no use keeping around.

In these two generations, the Su family had never had anyone lower than B-rank. Especially in Su Cha’s generation—her biological older brother, Su Hanmo, was an S-rank alpha, and her cousin Su Ling was an A-rank omega.

Although Su Ling was only an A-rank omega, omegas were rare. An A-rank omega was even rarer. Omegas were unlike alphas; their mental power was naturally on the lower side. After many people differentiated into omegas, their mental power level would not exceed B-rank. Therefore, Su Ling was also very popular within the empire, and there were many S-rank alpha suitors around her.

If Su Cha differentiated into an alpha but could not break through to S-rank, then he really would consider sending Su Cha away from the family, even though an A-rank, as long as they worked hard, was already enough to reach the position of general.

An A-rank could also have a chance to break through to S-rank through continuous effort. But in the end, someone who became S-rank at the moment of differentiation had a different starting point, different aptitude, and different future achievements.

Su Yunshan himself was S-rank, and his son Su Hanmo was also S-rank. If his daughter differentiated into A-rank, who knew whether she would become useless? After all, she was cowardly and useless, and only knew how to cause trouble.

In Su Yunshan’s heart, the original owner was basically labeled as nothing more than useless and wasteful of resources.

Perhaps because she had been suppressed too fiercely, the originally surging mental power began to shrink back. The mental power that had been about to break through to S-rank directly shattered, as if something had broken it. It began dropping rapidly, almost falling below A-rank before finally stopping.

Su Cha opened her eyes, covered in sweat. Originally, she had been prepared to stake everything and directly break through to S-rank, but suddenly, something had directly absorbed the mental power spilling out of her, nearly sucking her surging mental power dry.

Su Jin, who had not expected the situation to suddenly change, widened her eyes. She scanned Su Cha’s body again. The result was greatly shocking.

[Name: Su Cha

Height: 176 cm

Gender: Alpha (differentiation complete)

Mental Power: A-

Potential: A+ (? Mental power has flowed backward and dissipated; there may be a leak. Detailed examination of the mental sea is recommended.)

Body Temperature: 39.8°C (high fever; urgent cooling required)]

“This… this shouldn’t…”

Looking at the report in her hand, Su Jin still had not reacted. She took two steps back, shock frozen on her face. How was this possible?

She had never heard of anyone experiencing mental power backflow, disappearance, and potential dissipation during the differentiation process. Someone who originally should have had a chance to break through to SS-rank had suddenly dropped to the point where even reaching A-rank was barely possible?

Su Jin came back to her senses and immediately felt that what had just happened was too strange. It was very likely that someone had secretly done something sinister to Su Cha.

“This isn’t right. Marshal, I request permission to take her for an immediate examination of her mental sea. I think she is very likely—”

“No need.”

There was not much warmth in Su Yunshan’s eyes. He knew better than anyone what this daughter of his was like. Perhaps someone really had secretly done something to her, but when it came to potential, it was also possible that she had secretly eaten something.

Thinking of the information in his light brain about Su Cha purchasing a potion from the black market, then connecting it to the abnormal mental power just now, he felt extreme disdain in his heart. She had drunk that kind of thing and still failed to break through to S-rank. Instead, she had fallen so quickly that she was almost like a B-rank. She had truly embarrassed him to death.

Thinking of this, he was even more unwilling to see Su Cha.

Su Yunshan waved his hand. “Her situation is what it is. Do not spread it outside.”

Su Jin still wanted to fight for Su Cha a little more, but Su Yunshan clearly did not want to say anything else. He only said calmly, “Arrange for her to transfer schools. Send her out of the Imperial Capital Planet.”

Su Jin frowned and disagreed. “Marshal…”

Even if she was only A-, she was still A-rank. As long as she joined the military, Su Cha would still have a great chance of repairing her mental power. At that time, she could still become an outstanding soldier.

Su Yunshan looked over coldly. That gaze from an S-rank alpha made Su Jin’s scalp go numb. A sense of crisis emerged from the depths of her mind.

She instinctively gave a military salute. “I’m sorry, Marshal!”

She had overstepped. She was only a lieutenant, after all.

Besides, this was Su Yunshan’s daughter. Even if he did not love her, could he possibly wish for her to die?

On the other side, however, the Leng family was different. After sensing that Leng Zhuoyan had entered her differentiation period, everyone in the Leng family began to feel uneasy. Father Leng even sent Leng Zhuoyan ahead of time into the room specially prepared at home for people in the differentiation period.

This place was made from the sturdiest liquid diamond. Anyone who entered this room would either complete their differentiation alive, or directly explode and die.

Mother Leng bit her thumb, her eyes filled with worry and a trace of unease.

“What do you think Ah Yan will differentiate into?”

If it was omega, that would be good.
