Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 373 - 126: The Team That Presents Itself for a Beating

In another part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, many members of the Carefree Gang were huddled together, deeply engrossed in calculations.

The leader among them was none other than the Master of Calculation, Xi Baiche. Most of the people here were elite scholars from the Geting lineage in Shenzhou. Any one of them had the potential to guide the tide of advancements in mathematics.

But now, they were gathered together, dealing with a mathematical challenge.

The most difficult of challenges, and one that was set to determine the trajectory of mathematics for centuries to come.

At that moment, sitting at the center of the crowd, Feng Luoyi spoke up, "There's a new paper."

Feng Luoyi, fused with the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, had computing capabilities that far surpassed his level in mathematics, allowing him to divert some of his consciousness to the outside world.

Everyone stopped their work at hand. If Feng Luoyi mentioned an important paper, then the paper was certainly worth a look for everyone.

Soon, a screen of light appeared before each person. Flowing Ring Immortal, Ai Ruochi, smiled and said, "Wang Qi... this name, I've seen it a second time now."

The crowd let out a round of good-natured laughter. The presence of young talents always brought joy.

Only Xi Baiche recognized Wang Qi's intentions at a glance. He frowned and said, "Organizing the arithmetic system with transfinite induction. He's aiming to challenge compatibility."

Someone muttered, "The young buck doesn't fear the tiger."

Xi Baiche closed his eyes, wanting to analyze the feasibility of this approach, but Feng Luoyi spoke up ahead of him, "It's feasible. A very... inventive idea. He might actually be able to break through this difficult challenge."

However, Feng Luoyi quickly pointed out the problem: "This idea still brims with a genius's conception, but it is not the Righteous Path; it can only serve as a surprise move." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

This was exactly as Wang Qi had anticipated. Before Godel's Incompleteness Theorem was proposed, the great powers of Li Sect wouldn't accept a method that circumvented the theorem.

They wanted to defeat a boss and beat the game, not realizing the game had a bug, the boss was invincible, and could only be defeated with a "cheat code." As everyone knows, players who focus on technique scorn things like "cheat codes" and "cheat codes."

Nevertheless, Feng Luoyi offered a different opinion: "Sect Leader, there are only three months left. We may not be able to beat the Mathematics Lord with just interim achievements."

Xi Baiche pondered, "Let's assign a Carefree Gang to study the problem with this junior—note, to assist the child, not to claim someone else's ideas for ourselves."

"Master, should I do it?" Xi Baiche's disciple, Ai Kemeng, raised his hand to volunteer.

Xi Baiche nodded his approval and then said to Feng Luoyi, "You will relay Keman's results to Wang Qi, and bring Wang Qi's questions here, alright?"

After receiving Feng Luoyi's affirmation, Xi Baiche looked back at Wang Qi's paper, frowning, "Such a promising young man, but what a pity that there's no one who truly understands mathematics to guide him. Talent alone will not suffice."

Feng Luoyi laughed and said, "I shall teach him something in these days."

Xi Baiche nodded, then silence reclaimed the Illusion as it went through Recovery.

Suddenly, Xi Baiche remembered something, "Little Feng, those young disciples of our sect who refuse to accept Wang Qi should have set out by now, right? Where are they? Will there be enough time for you to teach Wang Qi?"

Feng Luoyi answered nonchalantly, "They should have arrived at the Divine Capital by now. But there's no need to worry."

You have no idea. That kid picks up new skills incredibly quickly.

Chen Youjia started packing his things when Wang Qi emerged from the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. His expression had been blank and his steps unsteady from prolonged contemplation as he entered, and now he looked even paler upon leaving.

Chen Youjia frowned, "Didn't you say you were going to relax? Have you used some forbidden Path Rank?"

Calculators are different from computers in that many spell effects can be directly realized. Here, "virtual reality" is not just a game, but a Path Rank that can directly stimulate the soul to produce pleasure.

Wang Qi waved his hand and asked, "Does Senior Feng Luoyi have any disciples?"

"They say he's taken a few, but they're more on the level of floor-sweeping lads, not true heirs," Chen Youjia replied.

"I knew it," Wang Qi said, pressing his temples. "He's definitely the kind that doesn't know how to teach disciples."

He now had a feeling of escaping death. Just now, Feng Luoyi told him he needed to win the Dao Artifact Award, for which he had to demonstrate sufficient talent before then. Wang Qi had expected the senior might do something like a "no-side-effects cross-space transmitting technique" but, to his surprise, this free-spirited character had instead summoned him for a summer to solve problems!

This was the first time Wang Qi felt the terror of an ocean of problems in both his lives.

To be fair, the problem-sets in Chinese high schools weren't terrifying, at least, there was no pressure on a top student like Wang Qi. He had also seen those geared toward public universities and famous high schools in the United States, yet none of that posed any pressure on him.

Only this time with Feng Luoyi. Only this time! Only this time!

Wang Qi couldn't even remember the problems he had solved. He faintly recalled covering every known domain in mathematics. Then, Feng Luoyi proceeded to exchange knowledge about swordsmanship and spells with him.

With equal physical fitness, mana, and computing power, Wang Qi found himself unable to last even a single round against him!

Next, Feng Luoyi initiated a cramming session with Wang Qi, addressing his mathematics, swordsmanship, and spells. Although Feng Luoyi's words sharply highlighted all of Wang Qi's deficiencies, Wang Qi still thought the man was way too brutal!

Moreover, Feng Luoyi insisted that Wang Qi reserve two hours every day for this brutal education!

Chen Youjia wondered why Wang Qi suddenly brought this up, but he explained, "It's well-known that Senior Feng doesn't teach disciples because no one can keep up with his thoughts. He feels that problems which he can see the answers to at a glance are unsolvable to others."

I knew it!

Wang Qi struggled to get up from the ground and walked outside. Chen Feng had just finished interacting with his team members and was moving around the yard. He was startled on seeing Wang Qi, "What happened to you... you look worse?"

"It's nothing, I just need to eat," Wang Qi replied.

Chen Feng felt even more distressed, thinking that his friend had been exposed by their other companions. He put a hand on Wang Qi's shoulder and said, "Want to eat something good, huh? Don't worry, brother will take you out to eat... Let's call Youjia—ah, wait."

A knock at the door interrupted them, and Chen Feng hurried to open it. The cultivator who entered was dressed in the standardized blue vestment robe of the Wanfa Sect, with patterns embroidered in silver thread.

This was an Inner Sect Disciple of the Wanfa Sect.

He walked in, ignoring Chen Feng, and asked directly, "Here, who is Wang Qi?"
