A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 50: Why is he so skilled? (Requesting recommendation votes)
Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Why is he so skilled? (Requesting recommendation votes)
Amidst the crowds, three gazes stood out with surprise.
Feng Yuan from Xu Ri Middle School, Lan Ziyue from Pinghong Middle School, and Xiang Le from He Liu Middle School.
The three were hot contenders for this year’s college entrance exam champions, more popular than Baiyu.
Although Baiyu was excellent, only his classmates at Linjiang First Middle School knew his real situation.
To be precise.
It’s only those few people around Baiyu who know that this oddball is just an unconventional genius in studying.
Especially recently, he’s becoming more inhuman, marching forward on the path of the bizarre.
As for other schools.
Buried in study every day combined with Linjiang First Middle School’s long history of low rankings, of course, they didn’t take Baiyu, the top of Linjiang First Middle School, too seriously.
Even the Martial Arts School Alliance only listed Baiyu as the sixth on the list of popular figures for the college entrance exam.
As the three scrutinized, Ning Qian immediately felt the pressure.
So many academic giants!
Any one of them here was more impressive than her.
If she somehow embarrassed herself, it would be too shameful for Baiyu.
Just as this thought flashed through Ning Qian’s mind, Dong Chunsheng gestured for her to come up to the podium.
His gaze gradually shifted from the girl to Baiyu, filled with expectation and curiosity.
That kid wasn’t paying attention in class!
No.
Maybe he listened to the lesson.
But he hadn’t looked at the content on the PPT; he was tinkering behind closed doors, definitely.
A Tier Six Martial Artist’s eyes can’t be wrong.
Dong Chunsheng kept a close watch on this student who impressed him during the second mock exam.
For an average person, not looking at the content on the PPT and relying on the other three team members alone, this team wouldn’t be able to reconstruct even a quarter of the knowledge points, let alone pass the assessment.
But having been exposed by Baiyu once, he was extremely cautious and refrained from jumping to conclusions.
That bastard cannot be judged by common sense.
"Your team of four has figured it all out? Then let’s start with you. What foundational law is Magic Energy built on?" Dong Chunsheng asked sternly.
All the students pricked up their ears.
This was the first student participating in the assessment, providing excellent reference.
"It’s based on the basic theory of Mysticism: the world is filled with omnipresent Spiritual Qi, affecting all things. Humans can cultivate Spiritual Qi to become Martial Artists, and machinery can also harness Spiritual Qi to unleash unimaginable power."
Ning Qian replied.
"Machinery is dead matter, and Mysticism research shows that only living beings can be affected by Spiritual Qi. How do you explain?"
"Magic Energy allows machinery to possess biological characteristics. By forging machinery with Spirit Technique and various specific auxiliary materials, it gains certain activity, capable of accepting basic Spiritual Qi transformation."
The two engaged in a question-and-answer session.
Despite her inner tension, Ning Qian smoothly answered.
After posing three randomly checked knowledge points, Dong Chunsheng didn’t continue asking but prompted the next person.
Soon it was Yue Zian and Qin Shou’s turn.
With Ning Qian’s prior example, the two also answered without issue. Baiyu’s summary was impeccable, and the two passed easily.
Such an easy pass caused whispers to rise in the auditorium.
"What, the assessment is so simple; it scared me."
"Mr. Dong checked very basic questions. This is testing our reception ability. Starting without warning is testing our adaptability and coordination skills."
"Adaptability, coordination ability, reception ability; now that you mention it, I somewhat understand the significance of this class."
The group of students began to understand.
Passing so simply was clearly not meant to make things difficult for everyone.
The academic giants from several schools breathed a sigh of relief.
Now only one person remained.
With Baiyu passing the assessment, they would be the first team to pass.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Baiyu.
"I guess it’s a few simple questions again. Didn’t expect the first team to pass would be taken by Linjiang First Middle School, unfortunate." Lan Ziyue’s eyes showed a look of discontent.
"There’s nothing we can do about it; we were too cautious. Without integrating all the knowledge points, we didn’t dare go up." A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes shook his head beside her.
He was the top student of He Liu Middle School this year, Xiang Le.
Feng Yuan didn’t respond, secretly scornful in his heart.
It’s just luck and coincidence.
They can score by chance once, but not every time.
The three gradually lost interest.
They were just about to turn back for a quick review of the knowledge points with their team and then get on stage, but Dong Chunsheng’s steady, powerful voice reached their ears:
"In the twenty-third generation of Imperial Mechanical Armament, what type of Magic Kinetic Core is used?
Briefly explain its working principle, structure, involvement of Spirit Technique, and the constructive relationship between its upper torso forward armor’s circuitry and the Magic Kinetic Core, etc."
What?
Sitting in front of the podium, Dong Chunsheng’s voice was small, yet nearly half of the students in the auditorium still heard it.
But these students who heard it all had one thought in their heads: What the heck are you rambling about?
If they didn’t know Dong Chunsheng was genuinely brilliant, a group might have immediately jumped over to grab him by the collar and make him write out the answer to that question himself.
Mechanical Armament forward armor, Magic Kinetic Core, constructive relationship?
What on earth is this nonsense!
Coach, you never taught this!
Forget the answer.
Many students who heard the question didn’t even grasp these conceptual terms.
Some students even took tens of seconds to unravel this tongue-twister of a question.
Lan Ziyue and the others turned mechanically like they’d been cast with an immobilizing spell.
"Did you understand it? I only know of the Spirit Technique involved in the twenty-third generation of Mechanical Armament’s Magic Kinetic Core."
Lan Ziyue’s expression was stiff, wondering if she misheard or missed some knowledge points on the PPT.
She glanced to the side.
It turned out Xiang Le and Feng Yuan were even worse off than her, looking constipated.
"Lan Ziyue, are you really sure this was covered in today’s class?" Xiang Le scratched his head, lost in confusion.
And Feng Yuan was on the verge of madness.
Because he saw Baiyu start answering!
Standing right at the podium.
Fluent speech, composed demeanor.
Because Baiyu was far from the microphone, Feng Yuan couldn’t make out what Baiyu was saying.
But with Dong Chunsheng’s gratified smile and frequent nods, there’s no need to guess.
Baiyu, that bastard, not only understood the question but also knew the answer!
And could provide it instantly!
And correctly!
Lan Ziyue and Xiang Le also witnessed this scene.
The three instantly fell into deep self-doubt.
What kind of development is this?
Wasn’t the information saying this bastard missed four days of class a week and barely attended two months of the whole senior year?
What is going on?
Has the world gone crazy, or have they become abnormal?
Why is he so proficient, damn it!
"Xiao Lan, bring the notes!"
Lan Ziyue took the notebook handed by a teammate beside her, the entire lesson’s knowledge points already recorded. She flipped through it quickly, her eyes scanning the ant-like writing.
Xiang Le and Feng Yuan did the same, frantically paging through their notes, seeking answers.
After a full ten minutes.
Lan Ziyue put down the notebook, raised her head, just in time to meet the grim and steel-like gaze of Feng Yuan and Xiang Le.
The three had obtained the desired answers!
Dong Chunsheng’s question was indeed derived from this lesson’s content, but with terrifying modification and a significant increase in difficulty.
Not only needed understanding of certain obscure and easily overlooked Magic Energy knowledge from the lesson.
But also a profound grasp of Spiritual Arts and Mysticism.
If asked of them, it’s very likely they couldn’t figure it out!
Using a common example.
Dong Chunsheng’s question is akin to teaching elementary students basic geometric knowledge, then asking them to solve a sophisticated advanced geometric problem.
If proven unresolvable, there are basic theories and knowledge, frustratingly.
If proven resolvable, well. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Then why bother with a teacher? Is this prodigy determined to wreck the school’s event?
"This person is my biggest rival for the championship!"
Lan Ziyue’s face was frosty, gritting her teeth, the threat level of Baiyu instantly rising to number one in her heart.
