Chapter 426: Is This Also Possible?
“Please look at the question: There are several chickens and rabbits. Altogether, they have 88 heads and 244 feet. How many chickens and rabbits are there?”
After finishing the question, Yashan immediately said, “Please answer!”
Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping glanced at each other, seeing the despair in each other’s eyes. Then, both of them turned to look at Feng Yuer, who was diligently writing at the desk.
In less than a minute, Feng Yuer finished her calculations and crisply answered, “Teacher Yue Ying, there are fifty-four chickens and thirty-four rabbits.”
Yashan nodded in satisfaction and said, “Correct answer! Rewarding Feng Yuer one ‘questioning point’!”
After that, he looked at Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping with a stern face and said, “What’s wrong with you two? With this kind of learning attitude, how can you become qualified researchers within a hundred years? Huh? Both of you will have double homework today!”
The two of them wilted like roses, withering one petal at a time.
Only when they truly entered the state of learning did Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping realize the gap between themselves and Feng Yuer.
Then, they turned to look at the Yue Ying Teacher, who looked like he was only fourteen years old! It took them a year to realize that this seemingly ordinary person was actually terrifying.
As if born with knowledge, no matter what problem they encountered, he could explain it thoroughly and convincingly, leaving no room for rebuttal. And there was no need for rebuttal; they understood that everything Yue Ying said was right.
The key is, they had never heard anyone else mention what Yue Ying said!
Things like ‘Arabic numerals’, ‘vertical addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division’, ‘multiplication tables’, ‘distributive, associative, and commutative properties of multiplication’, ‘angles’, ‘area’, ‘volume’, ‘equations’…
This was a completely new world, and everything they learned made them marvel: “So, this is what rigorous thinking is! What were we thinking about before?”
If Yue Ying was so formidable, then how formidable was Feng Wei, the one behind Yue Ying?
Just thinking about it was somewhat unbelievable. These systematic things were actually mastered by two teenagers!
Yashan lightly tapped Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping’s desks with the teaching cane in his hand and said, “What are you thinking about! Focus your attention. Today, I’ll use another method to answer, allowing you to experience the fun of mathematics.”
Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping’s spirits shook, and their attention instantly focused on Yashan.
Yashan said, “Let’s assume that these chickens and rabbits are all obedient. Now, let all the chickens and rabbits lift one foot at the same time! Feng Cheng, please tell me, how many feet are still on the ground?”
Feng Cheng mentally calculated and immediately came up with the answer, “244 minus 88 equals 156 feet!”
Yashan squeezed out a smile and continued, “Very good. At this time, three feet of each rabbit are still on the ground, and one foot of each chicken is still on the ground. Now, let all the chickens and rabbits lift one foot again! Yun Qingping, how many feet are still on the ground at this time?”
Yun Qingping was stunned. “Teacher Yue Ying, how can chickens lift the other foot?”
Yashan said, “Don’t talk nonsense. Can’t these chickens fly? Hurry up and calculate!”
Yun Qingping said, “156 minus 88 equals 68 feet!”
Yashan said, “At this time, all the sixty-eight feet that are still on the ground belong to the rabbits! Each rabbit has two feet on the ground. So, by dividing 68 by 2, you can get the number of rabbits, which is thirty-four! Understand?”
Including Feng Yuer, all three of them widened their eyes, showing a shocked expression. “Is this also possible?”
Yashan shook his head inwardly and sighed, “Ah, since I started teaching these three people a year ago, I feel like my level has dropped a lot! At this rate, when will I finish teaching elementary knowledge? And this doesn’t even include the knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology!”
Counting it up, these three individuals only have two hours of study time per day. Being able to basically finish elementary school mathematics within a year is already pretty good!
“Everything is fine, except for their problem-solving ability being a bit lacking!”
…
Seeing this scene, Su Hao couldn’t help but chuckle. Occasionally watching these people in class still brought him a lot of amusement.
Despite Yashan’s appearance of disdain, he was more enthusiastic about teaching than anyone else. Deep down, he found joy in it!
Teaching for the first time, he enjoyed the pleasure of crushing others with knowledge.
Things like “What? You can’t even solve such a simple problem?” or “Can’t you figure this out with your eyes closed?” were the kinds of enjoyment only teachers and top students could have, right?
Su Hao closed the video of Yashan and instead pulled up the ‘Spiritual Laws’ of the Golden Core Realm, reading it carefully.
Although he had read this text many times and had long since memorized it, Su Hao still preferred to open the pages and read the text carefully.
Because every time he read it, he could always come up with new ideas and insights, clarifying the core ideas of breaking through the Golden Core Realm, gradually understanding the path that cultivators in this world took to prolong their lives.
“Using spiritual power to construct a new life cycle, replacing the core functions of the body’s organs, reducing physical consumption, thereby extending the lifespan of the body… What ingenious ideas! And they succeeded! The wisdom of humanity is so great!”
“However, ultimately, it’s still impossible to completely break free from the constraints of the body! Even if physical consumption is minimized, after more than two thousand years, the body will reach its limit and fade away with the wind!”
“The distance to the eternal life I desire is still very far away! What should I do to completely break free from the constraints of the body? I’m sure the cultivators in the Unity Realm of this world are also pondering this question and trying everything to break free from the imprisonment of the body and achieve a breakthrough to a higher level, right?”
“Thinking too much is useless. Let’s follow the wisdom of the predecessors and go through this path from beginning to end! Whether this path can be successfully completed, I’ll know when I reach the peak of the Unity Realm!”
“From today onwards, for five days, I will focus all my efforts on breaking through the Golden Core Realm!”
Breaking through the Golden Core Realm requires constructing a second-level spiritual core with the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys as the main organs, connecting the five viscera to form a large spiritual cycle, and connecting the five viscera to the five mansions, namely the small intestine, gallbladder, stomach, large intestine, and bladder, plus another small cycle, the pericardium and triple burner.
This process is similar to breaking through the Foundation Establishment Realm but much more difficult.
It’s not just about imprinting the corresponding spiritual structures on the respective organs, but also about finding the rhythm of one’s own organs, so that all the imprinted spiritual structures jump along with the rhythm of the organs. The difficulty of breaking through the Golden Core Realm lies here.
Some cultivators spend their entire lives unable to find the rhythm of their own organs, stopping at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
The ‘Spiritual Laws’ of the Golden Core Realm that Su Hao exchanged for actually had little content on how to construct spiritual structures. Most of it described how to perceive the rhythms of one’s own organs and find that hidden trace of deep life fluctuations.
However, for Su Hao, this wasn’t complicated at all. With the comprehensive information recording of the Pinball Space, and Little Light’s assistance in collecting, organizing, and analyzing data, he quickly understood the rules of his own organ activities.
Moreover, Su Hao could even control the so-called ‘rhythm’ of his internal organs, to the extent that he could stop it or make it jump as he pleased…
For Su Hao, the real difficulty in breaking through the Golden Core Realm was actually the first step of cultivating the heart technique, cultivating the consciousness. It took him a full year. If it weren’t for the difficulty in cultivating consciousness, Su Hao might have been thinking about how to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm by now.
Su Hao sat up straight, his figure gradually becoming translucent, then disappeared on the lounge chair, appearing in the meditation room, sitting cross-legged on the cushion. With a casual reach, a bottle of spirit-enhancing pills for breaking through the Golden Core Realm appeared in his hand. Pouring out a pill, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Then, he activated the ‘Senior Brother Token’ around his waist, and a layer of yellow light shield appeared, enveloping Su Hao inside. Instantly, the spiritual power within Su Hao’s body became more active, and his control became even more effortless.
Su Hao closed his eyes and calmed his mind, quickly entering a state of meditation.
His spiritual power focused on his body, and the subtle structure of his body instantly appeared in his mind, clear at a glance. At the same time, his spiritual power also sensed a vigorous vitality emanating from every corner of his body.
This body was extremely powerful!
