After listening to Wang Qi’s narrative, everyone was endlessly amazed.
Wu Fan couldn’t help but marvel, "You actually refined another Meng Family bean..."
To refine otherworldly spiritual objects like "Newton’s Apple" or "Mendel’s Peas," which were imbued with the aura of a Carefree Great Cultivator upon achieving enlightenment, one must possess ample understanding of knowledge and a preliminary grasp of the Great Dao, so as not to be led down the wrong path. Even for someone like Wang Qi with memories of a past life as a foundation, refining such objects still risked being constrained by the insights of predecessors. For Wu Fan, refining a single pea would mean severing his own prospects.
Ai Changyuan was more concerned with another question, "How long does it take for you to refine a weakened version of the Meng Family bean?"
Wang Qi was shocked, "Where the hell did you pop up from?"
The boy shrugged, "I’ve been here the whole time since a while ago."
Behind him, Lu Qianqian couldn’t help but cover her face, "Changyuan, I told you it’s really impolite..."
Faced with the descendant of a Yuanli Master, Wang Qi answered frankly, "Four Two Hours."
Wang Zhenqi was shocked, "You finished all the test questions in just two Two Hours?"
Ai Changyuan frowned, "Are you sure?"
Wang Qi nodded his head. With the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture as his main focus, and his mathematical abilities far surpassing his peers, completing the problems in two Two Hours was no pressure at all.
"Good heavens! You’re all monsters!"
Ai Changyuan then asked, "How are your injuries?"
"Not sure within the next three days, but my combat power will be fully restored after that," Wang Qi said earnestly, looking at Ai Changyuan, "You’d better hope we don’t meet in the last two days."
The boy opposite him, with an air of wild arrogance, chuckled lightly, "I’m waiting."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Ai Changyuan turned and left.
It wasn’t until Ai Changyuan was far away that Wu Shiqin asked, "Are you confident?"
"I can’t say for sure," Wang Qi felt a tinge of combativeness, "but it’s not completely hopeless. It’s worth a try."
Wu Fan expressed his surprise, "You’re not thumping your chest and guaranteeing victory? That’s against the Heavenly Dao!"
"How narcissistic am I..."
Everyone nodded in agreement, "You are." "Wang Qi, you’re being uninteresting now." "Xiao Qi is always like this, meow." "You even have some self-awareness, wow."
"Damn... So this is the image I have now?"
Wu Fan clarified, "Normally, Wang Qi, apart from making jokes no one understands, you’re pretty easygoing. But the moment it involves the Dao or Cultivation, you turn into this, ’Ah, I’m so incredible, I am unmatched in the world’—plus, you love telling lame jokes."
Mao Zimiao sympathized, "Exactly, meow! Xiao Qi, your approach to studying was like going insane, only Shiqin could keep up with you, right?"

Wu Shiqin forced a smile, "I can’t do that. Just keeping up with the Immortal Institute’s progress is hard enough."
Wang Qi shook his head, "Don’t be so down. The quest for the Dao lies in righteousness, accumulation, and perseverance. It’s not that there have never been predecessors who weren’t that gifted but achieved the Carefree status through sheer determination and endless experiments to comprehend the Great Dao, haha…"
"So you’re basically admitting ’we’re definitely no match for you.’"
Wang Qi nodded earnestly, "Indeed. At this stage, that’s the truth."
Wu Shiqin heard the implicit meaning, "At this stage?"
Wang Qi pointed at Wu Fan and then Mao Zimiao, "At least in the future, you two will far surpass me in the Mountain and River Dao and Life Path. All Daos are equal without a hierarchy, so there’s no basis for comparison if the Daos are different."
Hearing his words, his friends’ expressions became distant, all puzzling over whether "he had changed his ways?" But just as they were mulling over his sentiments, Wang Qi burst into hearty laughter, "So, right now I boldly take advantage of you guys part-time!"
Hopelessly... this guy was beyond cure!
--------------------------------------
In the evening, Wang Qi sat alone in his room.
After Ai Qinglan checked and confirmed that his injuries were of no concern, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, allowing him to recover alone. As the Foundation Establishment Stage Teaching Assistant, Ai Qinglan reported to the Jiongli Branch, and thus Wang Qi’s Martial Arts Examination would likely be scheduled during the last two days of the five. Therefore, he had three days to recover.
Three days, not long but not short. For someone else, indeed, three days would be enough to recover mostly, perhaps to be able to bring out eighty or ninety percent of their combat power, but a full recovery would be unlikely.
Even Wang Qi couldn’t possibly defeat the descendent of a Yuanli Master with just seventy or eighty percent of his strength.
But Wang Qi was different; his main study was the Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas. This mental method was initially unremarkable in both offense and defense. Yet, its biggest advantage was its immunity to Deviation. What other Cultivators dread as much as tigers, turned into a great tonic for a Heavenly Calculation Cultivator.
From another perspective, this meant that all injuries arising from Cultivation Chaos posed no real problem to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi closed his eyes and delved inward, savoring the ceaselessly rushing Heavenly Calculation Mana within his body. That mysterious warmth repeatedly purified his essence, continually refining and preserving the best.
This was the benefit brought by the second Mendel pea.
Wang Qi believed that after this round of intense progression, his Heavenly Calculation Heart Method would rise to a higher level!
However, the biggest gain this time was within Wang Qi’s soul.
Within Wang Qi’s soul resided a refined Mana that persisted. This Mana, threadlike and dormant, was distinct from the "field"-like Soul Power. It was the Heavenly Position Magic Axis.
This Magic Axis was, however, curled up, and even more strange, even Wang Qi himself didn’t know its length. The Soul Power around the Magic Axis twisted together, forming a peculiar self-similar vortex. This soul vortex shifted enigmatically, occasionally taking the form of the Spirit Treasure Fractal Map.
Using limited power to describe the infinite!
This Heavenly Position Magic Axis was precisely the one that had ventured into the Spirit Treasure Fractal Map and had been distorted by the "dimensional" twist of the fractal, leading to a severe backlash. The Magic Axis underwent a qualitative change in the moment it merged with the fractal, drawing closer to fractal geometry. Due to a lack of intermediate Cultivation Techniques, this fractalized Magic Axis became incompatible with the Book of Geometry, which was based on Euclidean principles. Thus, it split from the Heavenly Position Magic Axis in Wang Qi’s Dantian.
The passive extraction of this Heavenly Position Magic Axis marked the beginning of the shameful collapse of Wang Qi’s Book of Geometry. Since the Book of Geometry was his primary Cultivation Technique, its collapse triggered a snowball effect of massive loss of control.
But often, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Simply fixing the Spirit Treasure Fractal Map to his soul was enough cause for Wang Qi to laugh for three days.
