Chapter 115 The Last Question

In a quiet courtyard of Hongwu College, an old man with white beard and hair sat quietly in front of a wooden table. There were all kinds of books piled up on the table in front of him.

Opening a book, he picked up the ink brush and drew with an angry expression, "What the hell! The current teachers in the college are really getting worse and worse, one crab is not as good as one crab!"

"What's wrong with him, he's so angry?"

Not far away, an old man came to the front with a smile.

The person in front of them is Han Qu, who they say is the most knowledgeable person in Hongwu Academy.

Han Qu became more and more angry, "What's the matter? You haven't read the textbooks submitted this year, have you? There are frequent mistakes and full of loopholes, so you still teach and educate people like this? [Golden Leaf Zhigengcao] is indeed nourishing, but you If you really dare to take a bite, even a strong person in the first level of longevity will die on the spot. In this book, it is written that stewing in warm water can prolong life... Fortunately, this thing is not easy to find, otherwise, at least there will be a lot of deaths People! There is also [Xiu Shui Sword Art], which actually said that it is best to practice in the stream in the early stage, why don't you drown in it? Return the stream... Sister Xi Niu!"

"Ha ha!"

The old man smiled awkwardly, "In today's academy, everyone pursues strength, and there are indeed not many people who can study with peace of mind. However, don't you still sit here? As long as you feel inappropriate, just refute it. Don't get angry because of it. In the worst case, I will discuss with Dean Xia about holding a training class for all the teachers, to train them intensively, and to improve their professional ability..."

Han Qu snorted coldly: "The pursuit of strength and talent has become a trend! Isn't your residence occupied by a student? Just because of his talent and strength, the deputy dean's residence has to be Possession, there is no etiquette of respecting teachers, and if it is spread, it will be a disgrace to the academy!"

"This... I gave it up willingly. That student is really talented. This kind of talent, within ten years, the entire academy will be proud of him..."

The old man laughed.

The deputy dean who moved because of Xu Hong, Du Ruhai, is also the "Old Du" in Dean Xia's mouth.

Han Qu waved his hand and said, "So what if you are talented? At the end of the training, what you are fighting for is knowledge and learning. You can only practice step by step. Without knowledge reserve, you are just a martial artist in the end. It is of no use to the academy. If you want to become a saint , it is even more impossible! I have never heard that a warrior can become a saint!"

"This..." The old man was embarrassed.

Although the other party's words were a little extreme, what he said was true.

Cultivation is not just a force-feeding enhancement, knowledge and comprehension are the key to cultivation to a certain level.

It's as if the seven levels of spiritual consciousness for increasing longevity are an extension of the spirit. Without sufficient knowledge reserves, one can understand the principles of heaven and nature, and relying on normal practice alone will not be able to break through in 100 or 200 years.

"He's old, he's old..."

Feeling emotional in his heart, a shout sounded outside the courtyard, and then the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged teacher rushed in.

"What's the matter? Panic!" Han Qu raised his eyebrows.

Although over 100 years old, his temper has not diminished in the slightest.

The middle-aged teacher bowed quickly and said, "It's like this. Some students took the academic test and selected the difficulty of 'A', and they are now hitting the checkpoint..."

"Character A? This one is a bit difficult, so don't think about it, it's [-]% impossible to pass, not to mention students, among your teachers, no more than [-]% can pass!"

Han Qu waved his hand and snorted, "If it's just about this matter, don't tell me, I won't help modify the difficulty, let alone cheat!"

"It's not cheating..."

The middle-aged teacher quickly explained: "It's the first question, and it has stumped many teachers. I hope Mr. Qu can come forward to explain everyone's doubts..."

Han Qu was taken aback, "What kind of question, the first question makes people unable to do it?"

The middle-aged teacher said: "How to improve the breakthrough success rate of the Centenary Realm, try to answer three..."

Han Qu raised his eyebrows, "This question is very simple. There are three answers. It should be easy. Do you need me?"

The middle-aged teacher said: "It's easy to answer three kinds, and many teachers can do it, but... what if you can answer ten kinds?"

"what?"

Han Qu's eyes widened, and his beard blew up, "There are nine methods I know of to increase the success rate of the Centenary Realm... Someone answered ten? Who is it? Yang Mo of Dan Yuanzong, or Ying Ying Wu Yue of Yuezong?"

"neither……"

The middle-aged teacher explained with a wry smile, "It's a freshman who just entered the school this year. He just ran over to take an academic test and encountered this in the first question. We thought that it would be good to be able to answer three kinds of answers. As a result, I answered ten kinds in one breath, and not only that, when I came, I was still answering... I am afraid I have answered more than a dozen kinds now!"

"More than a dozen answers? Impossible! I have checked a lot of information on this question, but I have only sorted out nine. How could someone answer ten? Go over and have a look!"

Couldn't bear it any longer, Han Qu stood up straight away.

Vice President Du Ruhai on the side also looked over in disbelief, "You said freshman just now? What freshman?"

The middle-aged teacher replied: "It's the genius recruited by the dean himself, Xu Hong!"

"It's him?"

Du Ruhai's eyes widened.

I only heard that he is extremely talented and has reached the Nine Meridians, why... is his knowledge so advanced?
The crowd was very fast, and soon they came to the Academic Tower. At this time, the young man was still doing the first question, and the answer on it had changed from "Ten" to "Twenty".

"Twenty answers? All correct?"

With a shake of his body, Han Quman couldn't believe it.

As the most learned person in Hongwu Academy, he only knows nine methods, and the other party wrote twenty in one breath... Is this really a freshman?
It is said that he is a more powerful scholar than him, and no one dares to refute it!
"Start the second question..."

Just as he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it, someone yelled out, and Han Qu hurriedly looked, and immediately saw a new question appearing on the portal not far away:
"Offensive martial arts, how to practice to reduce physical damage, try to write three!"

"Offensive martial arts are powerful. When practicing, it is easy to injure the meridians. If you practice slowly, the progress will be slow, so there must be a suitable method..."

Han Qu twisted his beard and said, "As far as I know, there are 12 types in total, all of which can reduce physical damage..."

"12 kinds? As expected of Mr. Qu, I only know six kinds!"

"Six kinds are already scary, I only know three kinds..."

There was a burst of exclamation all around.

As expected of the most learned person, such a simple problem actually knows so many solutions.

"Tell me, how many kinds can the person inside write?"

someone asked.

"Maybe you happen to know the answer to the first question, so you can write twenty kinds. For this, it's pretty good to be able to write three kinds..."

"I think so too!"

Before the words were over, an excited voice sounded, "There are already three kinds..."

Everyone looked at it together, and they saw the light flickering on the stone gate, and the handwriting kept flickering.

"Four!"

"five!"

……

"Write twelve answers, and catch up with him when he gets old..."

In less than 3 minutes, the number above has become twelve, surpassing the teacher who thinks he is knowledgeable, and even catching up with his old man!
Even so, the boy still has no intention of stopping, and the numbers on it are still beating non-stop.

"fifteen!"

"sixteen!"

……

Finally, still stopped at twenty.

There was a moment of silence all around, and even Han Qu's eyes widened, a little crazy.

He has always been the most knowledgeable person in Hongwu Academy, but now, just two random questions, the one in the room, made him doubt himself...

This is really a freshman?

Even the most outstanding old students in the graduating class can't do it!

"Who the hell is this...?"

Unable to bear it anymore, he looked at the middle-aged teacher who called him.

Before the middle-aged teacher could answer, Vice President Du Ruhai interrupted immediately and explained, "It's the freshman who occupies my yard!"

"It's him?"

His pupils shrank, and Han Qu's face turned slightly red.

Before, he said that the other party had no knowledge and was just a talented martial artist. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he proved with his strength that not only his talent was high, but his knowledge reserve was also amazing.

"It's not wrong for you to be kicked out, let alone you, he wants my yard, and I will take the initiative to give it up!"

After watching it for a while, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"..."

Du Ruhai.

Are you serious?
Heartbroken, old iron!

The two of them sighed, and the answering questions continued. The third question seemed to be more difficult than the first one. It asked about cultivation methods: when true energy passes through the Qimen acupoint, it usually leads to shortness of breath. There are several ways to solve it. solve.

After pondering for a while, Han Qu gave the answer he knew: "Eight kinds!"

Just as the conversation ended, the numbers on the door jumped again, and in a short while there were more than 8, or even ten, and in just 3 minutes, they also reached as many as 20.

"..."

The crowd fell silent.

"The first question, he always knows nine, he knows twenty; the second he only knows twelve, he also knows twenty; the third, he always knows eight, or twenty ...Could it be that twenty types are not the limit he knows at all, and he just wrote so many because he thought it was appropriate?"

In the crowd, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"possible……"

Everyone looked at each other, unable to speak.

The most knowledgeable Mr. Qu can only name eight or nine kinds, and a 16-year-old freshman can say 20 kinds is not the limit... Is he a student, or are we?
"Do you still think that he can't keep up with the progress because he doesn't attend class?" Zhu Cunyuan's face turned red, and he couldn't help looking at a few colleagues not far away.

It was the other party who found him and insisted on bringing the matter to the dean, so he made the assessment...

"..."

The faces of all the teachers flushed red.

After a long time, a teacher scratched his head and said, "If he doesn't come to class, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up!"

"..."

The corner of Zhu Cunyuan's mouth twitched, and when he saw clearly that it was Han Shantong, he immediately covered his forehead helplessly. Indeed, only this guy can say such shameless words...

But I have to admit, it makes sense!

If such a knowledgeable person really wants to come to class, who would dare to speak?I'm afraid the other party will take a look at it, and feel guilty that they have made a mistake...

Feeling shocked, the speed of the young man's answering questions was still fast. In just a short time, the ten questions on the first level were all answered, and there were 20 solutions, no more, no less, impartial.

If before, some people still doubted whether the other party's 20 answers were the limit, but now it is basically confirmed, this guy is a point-control maniac!
There is a very simple question. Many teachers at the scene can find 30 solutions, but the other party still wrote 20 solutions...

Can you fake it a bit more?

"The title on the second floor is wrong!"

When everyone was sighing and guessing wildly in their hearts, someone shouted out again.

Dean Xia, Dean Han and others couldn't help but look at Shimen, and saw the light shining on the surface, and the first question on the second floor emerged:

"Assaulting on the Grandmaster Realm, when the true air flows to the Chenguan and Liuwei points, it will feel stagnant. How to break through this limitation?"

"It's actually a way to attack the grandmaster!"

"Assaulting the Grandmaster Realm has been recorded in many books. It is not too difficult, but... the situation in the title is rare!"

"Normal attacking the Grandmaster, if you accumulate enough, you will naturally accumulate a lot, and the Chenguan and Liuwei points will feel stagnant. It is considered that the accumulation has not yet been reached, so let's force it. The failure rate of this kind of practice is very high..."

"Already started to answer the question, and... it seems that I can see the answer!"

Accompanied by the words, the light on the stone gate kept flickering. Before, only the number of the youth's answers was displayed, but now, even the content is revealed.

"Chenguan acupoints and Liuwei acupoints will feel stagnant because of lack of true qi. If you want to break this method, you can use Buqi Pills to continue the power at Guanfeng acupoints. When the overflow is uncontrollable, you can attack. The exercise route is as follows..."

No, an answer appeared densely on the stone gate.

"Is there really a way to solve it?"

"If it's correct, wouldn't it be possible for many peak Cheng Gang realms who have not accumulated enough to break through?"

"Is it right, just try it..."

boom!
Everyone's doubts were not over yet, when they suddenly felt a powerful aura rushing straight into the sky, the aura around them poured into the middle in an instant, and immediately a young man stood up, bathed in the rich aura, the powerful power was like thunder.

"This is... Grandmaster Realm? Someone broke through!"

"It's Xu Ying, that cousin of Xu Hong, who practiced according to the answer on the door and succeeded in one fell swoop..."

Everyone immediately recognized that the one who made the breakthrough was none other than Xu Ying, who practiced according to the answers written by the young man, and actually became a master!
"I want to try too!"

"I've been stuck at the peak of Chenggang Realm for a long time..."

Immediately, many students who watched the excitement sat down cross-legged.

Boom boom boom!
In just over ten minutes, three more auras shot straight into the sky, successfully breaking through.

"Lucky for the academy, lucky for the academy!"

His body trembled, Han Qu's eyes were flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

If the other party gives this kind of answer, it will be much easier to hit the Grandmaster status in the future, and Hongwu College will inevitably emerge more talents in a short period of time.

Speaking of before, he still felt that no matter how talented the other party is, without knowledge, his achievements will be limited in the future, but now...where there is no knowledge, he is simply many times better than him, a university student!

"No, this boy comes out, I want to worship him as my teacher and ask him for advice..."

His eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but speak.

Vice President Du Ruhai had a strange expression on his face, "Isn't this appropriate?"

When I was in the courtyard just now, I complained for myself and scolded Xu Hong severely. I saw him solve the problem and praised that I was not wronged by being driven away. In just a short while, I wanted to be a teacher...

In just two minutes, three attitudes, more and more humble, can you become faster?

"The master is the teacher! He is ahead in learning, why can't he ask for advice?"

Han Qu asked back.

"This..." Du Ruhai was silent.

Three people must have my teacher, the other party is knowledgeable, asking for advice will only make the knowledge spread more and more, and form a better learning atmosphere, which is indeed a good thing!

"Hurry up, everyone, someone stormed the academic tower, won the difficulty of the word A, and broke through the bamboo all the way, solving many problems!"

"Really? Who is attacking? Lu Dansheng? Zhang Yimo? Or Cui Hao?"

"Neither, it is said that they are newly recruited freshmen this year..."

……

Following someone's successful breakthrough, the news exploded uncontrollably, and countless old students came over consciously.

So far, more than 20 questions have been answered for the problem of the word A in the Academic Tower, all of which are correct and none of them are wrong... This kind of record is absolutely unprecedented.

"You said... the person who solved the problem is called Xu Hong?"

Liao Yongxin looked at the young man in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitching constantly.

"Yes!" The other party nodded.

"It turns out that he... is so powerful!"

Looking at each other with Yuan Yihong, the two masters in the third grade all wanted to cry.

If I had known you were so strong, I wouldn't have stalked you. This is not looking for excitement, but what...

Before, I thought about finding a chance to get revenge for being beaten, but now it seems that it is tantamount to suffering for nothing!
Not to mention other things, with such knowledge, many teachers will treat them as treasures, looking for trouble, not looking for death...

Dean Xia, Vice Dean Han and others were also full of excitement.

Finding a new way to break through the Grandmaster realm, this alone can benefit countless people, not to mention giving elders treatment, no matter how high the treatment is, it is worth it.

"It seems that the more than 1000 longevity patterns can't even be mentioned..."

Elder Xuan Ye smiled wryly.

The other party has given such a big gift package, and the academy is still struggling with the more than 1000 wood longevity patterns, so it seems too stingy.

"Dean..."

Just as he was feeling, he heard rapid gasps and turned around with a puzzled face. He saw Dean Xia standing not far away, looking at Han Qing who was on the side with bright eyes, "I remember... Although the difficulty cannot be changed, the questions can be artificially added or changed!"

Han Qing nodded, and said, "It is possible to change, but there are very few questions that can be changed, at most one or two questions! Dean... want to change the questions?"

In order to prevent human interference in the assessment, the Academic Tower allows people with authority to change the questions, but does not allow too much interference.

"Ok!"

Dean Xia nodded.

"I don't know what to change, I'm going to prepare now..."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Han Qing asked.

After pondering for a while, Dean Xia said: "I want to ask, how to repair the damaged acupoints of Huimen and Tianren!"

"This……"

Han Qing froze, frowning, "These two acupoints involve the Niwan Palace, and are related to spiritual power. They must reach at least the fourth level of life-increasing level to be involved... Will it be too difficult?"

Dean Xia said: "Putting it to the last question, it doesn't matter if you can't answer it!"

"All right!"

Seeing the other party's insistence, Han Qing nodded, turned and left.

After a short time, he walked back and said, "Okay!"

Dean Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the tower again.

At this time, Xu Hong had already rushed to the sixth floor, and there was no mistake in the first five floors. According to the requirement of 60 points to pass the level, he had successfully passed the level!
However, he didn't know, and thought that only if everything was correct, he could pass the exam. At this time, he was looking at the question in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"The two acupoints of Huimen and Tianren are damaged... Isn't this the secret injury of Dean Xia? It's just a question in the question bank?"

Frowning, Xu Hong was puzzled.

He felt that something was wrong with the previous question, and it involved too much scope. It wasn't that he had read a lot of heavenly books these days, so he might not be able to answer it!
Of course, even if it is very broad, it is within the understandable range, but once this topic comes out, it is a bit too much!
If the academy really wanted to know the standard answer, Dean Xia wouldn't fall asleep every day, just to prolong his life.

Answer or no answer?
If you don’t answer, this is the last question. If you don’t get full marks, the previous work will fall short. Answer... I told Dean Xia before that I need to ask the teacher, but I answered it myself. Isn’t it a slap in the face?

"Last time I promised Dean Xia that I would give him an answer in about ten days. Now that the time is almost up, the answer should be fine. At worst, the teacher has sent a message..."

After pondering for a while, Xu Hong made a decision, took a deep breath, and strode towards the last stone tablet.
