Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"Right? If you dare to imitate the ancients again, believe me or not, I'll smack you?"

As soon as Su Junyu spoke, Wang Qi exploded, "When the hell did I become a streaker?"

"The first time you imitated the ancients."

Calm down... calm down... Now's not the time to deal with this guy...

Wang Qi reminded himself internally.

The strength of the Wanfa Sect disciples largely comes from their computational power and methods. Limiting their strength can reduce some of their computational power, but it can't make them forget the methods. Compared to disciples of other sects, the Wanfa Sect benefits a lot under these mana-restricting rules. This is true for both Geng Peng and Su Junyu.

Although Su Junyu mainly relies on prediction and analysis thanks to his practice of Bai Ze's Algorithm, and his offense and defense mostly come from magic artifacts, even without the "Indeterminate Card Magic Tool" set, he remains a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the level of a True Inheritor.

What's truly valuable is that he achieved Perfection in his practice of the Heavenly Position Technique during his Foundation Establishment Stage and has started practicing the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique. Once Su Junyu reaches the Golden Core Stage and masters the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique, he will teach his enemies the meaning of Wanfa's might with Xiangyu Travel, Arrow Control Technique, and Fixed Universe Light.

Among all Foundation Establishment Stage Teaching Assistants, Su Junyu is definitely one of the toughest to beat, a boss on the same level as Ai Qinglan.

Under Xiang Qi's peculiar gaze, Wang Qi grumpily sat down and ordered Zhen Chan, "Give me another sword manual."

Zhen Chan said with surprise, "Didn't you just figure out the Luofu Sword Skill?"

"Not enough! If I can analyze swordsmanship like this, Su Junyu, who has superior mathematics, experience, and cultivation time, will surely be the same. One is not enough, bring on another."

Zhen Chan looked concerned, "Will this affect your learning of current sword techniques?"

Wang Qi shook his head, "Not at all. I asked, and the first step in all of Wanfa's sword techniques is to observe, decode, and utilize various swordsmanship. After analyzing numerous ordinary sword techniques and grasping the general laws of swordsmanship, one is then qualified to learn the true swordsmanship of the Wanfa Sect. I'm just getting a head start on Wanfa's swordsmanship practice."

After hearing Wang Qi's explanation, Zhen Chan no longer hesitated and handed over two more sets of sword technique inheritances to Wang Qi.

Having already grasped the key points and his computational power being no less than a large computer, Wang Qi quickly formulated the equations for the sword techniques.

After finishing this, Wang Qi checked the time. It was nearly time for the afternoon group training. Judging that there was enough time for one more match, he stood up, bowed to Su Junyu, and said, "Senior Brother Su, let's go again."

"Oh?" Su Junyu raised an eyebrow, "Full of confidence, aren't you?"

"Of course!"

Wang Qi grinned, stretched out his right hand, and released a Phase Wave that began to take on the vague form of a weapon.

Seeing Wang Qi's initial stance, Su Junyu finally became a bit interested, "Interesting. Heh, not a bad fervor."

What Wang Qi displayed was a creation of his own, enlightened from various Ancient Method Sword Tao formulas. It conformed to the sword dao but didn't belong to any known swordsmanship.

Su Junyu tapped his stack of cards lightly, assembled them, and placed them face down on the table. He walked two steps away from the table and said, "Come at me!"

Wang Qi recalled the formulas he listed and shifted his stance.

Then, he froze.

This formula... this factor... what kind of movement does it represent in three-dimensional space?

Aha ha... hahaha... Seems like... I messed up again...

My mathematics far surpass my martial arts... I even planned to find the connection between the Thunder Sound Chord Saber Technique and the Fourier Series, then leverage that link to connect my mathematical knowledge with my cultivation...

Ahahaha, I know the formulas but still can't apply them properly!

"Not coming?" Just as Wang Qi's expression changed rapidly, Su Junyu was already getting impatient.

A sheen of sweat formed on Wang Qi's forehead, "I think I need to calculate a bit more..."

"Nobody is stupid enough to wait for Wanfa disciples to complete their calculations during actual combat," Su Junyu said. "The outcome of Wanfa disciples' bouts is decided before they even begin—since you won't attack, I guess it's my turn."

"It's not good to keep attacking back and forth; you should be mindful of the impact... damn it!"

At his last cry of alarm, Wang Qi was once again kicked flying by Su Junyu.

"Pfft."

"A real chuckle wouldn't nail the sounds 'pfft' and 'tsk' with such precision!"

"Pfft, tsk." Seeing Wang Qi's sulking face, Wu Shiqin couldn't help but let out another malicious laugh.

Wang Qi had been holding back his frustration since he got kicked for a miscalculation by Su Junyu at noon. Today's Teaching Assistant teaching the novices simple spells was from the Burning Gold Valley and always had a bit of a "Divine Sect of the Five Fires" complex. Seeing Wang Qi, all fired up and rubbing fireballs, he started to mutter, "The kid's got talent."

After the afternoon training ended, Wang Qi headed straight to the Book Tower and borrowed several elementary Sword Manuals that were readily available. These sword techniques were rudimentary even by mortal standards. After checking out the sword manuals, Wang Qi rounded up some partners to start new training.

—However, I shouldn't have explained to these guys why I need to practice this kind of swordsmanship...

Looking at his classmates who were laughing so hard they were rocking back and forth, Wang Qi couldn't help but roar, "Shut up about 'sisters'!"

Wu Shiqin, still laughing, said, "No, it's hilarious. Using mathematics to figure out the essence of a sword technique, but not being skilled enough in swordsmanship to actually use it... I've never heard of such a thing."

Wu Fan snickered twice and then sighed, "Wang Qi, your troubles are completely different from ours... I still don't know how to use mathematics to solve sword techniques..."

Wu Fan was more sensitive to these matters due to his weaker innate talent. Wang Qi's troubles were indeed based on his superior ability in mathematics.

It was like two civilizations: one was still struggling with how to make stone tools, while the other had figured out nuclear fusion but fretted over just having learned to make bronze tools, rendering the technology useless.

But the former civilization can only climb the tech tree step by step; the latter can leap forward once they've climbed to a certain degree.

After laughing for a while, Wu Shiqin finally stopped and asked, "Are you trying to clarify the connection between arithmetic and swordsmanship by practicing these rudimentary sword techniques?"

Wang Qi, with a grimace, nodded, "Could you please help me out?"

Wu Shiqin generously agreed, "Sure, I happened to pick up a sword technique from the second floor of the Transmitting Technique Hall today. Mind if I use you for some practice?"

Wang Qi smirked, "By all means."
