Xu Eleven, Zhua Fifteen, Jiao Thirteen, Wei Nine, and Ya Ten had successfully activated their talents when they were 10 years old. They stayed behind and underwent all kinds of training to speed up their advancement into different levels. They needed to reach high-level by 13 years old, become a special-class operator by 15 years old, and advance to ace level by 18 years old. If they didn't hit these criteria, they would be sent away.
Hence, when they heard that Qiao Ting became an ace operator in his fourth year in the First Men's Military Academy and was regarded as the next Ling Xiao because of this, they sneered. They had become ace operators when they were cadets in their third year of military academy. The [SSS] rank prodigy advanced to ace level when he was 15 years old and by the time he was 18 years old, he was an imperial operator. He was Ling Xiao's successor. Or rather, he was stronger than Ling Xiao. When Ling Xiao was at this age, he wasn't even an ace operator.
