Following the Inscriptions teacher's exclamation, all the surrounding Head Prefects gasped. Their minds were in turmoil as they looked at Wang Baole.
"Upper Academy Island's knowledge?"
"How is this possible? Did someone teach him? But that can't be right. Could it be … that he deduced Upper Academy Island's advanced courses from Lower Academy Island's basic courses?! "
"Heavens, is … is this guy even human?!" To be able to become the Head Prefect of each department, these people could be said to be top students. In the eyes of the other students, they were monsters. But now, in the eyes of this group of monsters, Wang Baole … was the real monster!
Lin Tianhao's mind was also buzzing. The most nervous person in the crowd was Cao Kun. The pressure he was under surpassed everyone else. Even the Chancellor and the dean were not as stressed as he was.
In reality … he was the Inscriptions Head Prefect. But Wang Baole's questions and his understanding of Inscriptions seemed to be much more refined than his. This made his heart beat faster and a strong sense of unease made his vision darken.
"No, I can't scare myself. This Wang Baole has only been the Spirit Stones Head Prefect for a few months. His understanding of Inscriptions is definitely not as deep as mine. He can't shake my position. He definitely can't!" Cao Kun's eyes were red. Although he kept comforting himself, he could not help but tremble with guilt.
At the same time, Wang Baole did not pay attention to the discussions around him. At this moment, all his energy was focused on seeking knowledge. The question he had just asked was actually one of the questions on the mask.
That was Wang Baole's problem. Every time he tried to deduce something, he would take a long time. That was especially so as the results of his deductions would be different every time. That was why he would be struck by lightning whenever he encountered such a problem.
At this moment, he really wanted to know the answers of the teachers. He wanted to use their answers to summarize his own lessons so that he would not make mistakes on such questions and increase the speed of his deductions.
However, even the teachers of the Lower Academy Island would find it difficult to answer such high-level Inscriptions knowledge in a short period of time. At this moment, they could not help but continue their discussion. Even the Chancellor was pulled into the discussion, and the group of old fellows discussed animatedly.
The sect master was crying bitterly in his heart. Goatee was also helpless. Although those teachers were discussing on the surface, they were laughing bitterly in their hearts. What kind of situation was this? This feeling of riding a tiger and not being able to get off was driving them crazy. The worst thing was that they couldn't leave …
Once they left, it would mean that they couldn't answer the students' questions. That would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, each and every one of them racked their brains. After a long while, they finally gave Wang Baole an answer. When Wang Baole heard this, he was so excited that he wanted to pound his chest. His face was flushed red as he excitedly started asking questions again …
Just like this, time passed, and soon it was late at night …
The Chancellor, the dean, and the teachers watched as the difficulty of Wang Baole's questions became more and more shocking. In the end, almost every question involved high-level Inscriptions knowledge. There were even a few questions that had surpassed high-level Inscriptions knowledge and involved the Inscriptions Decay Method. This was now the most advanced theory of Inscriptions in the entire Federation, and they could not take it anymore.
They all looked at the sect master with resentment. Facing the gazes of the crowd, the sect master felt a headache coming on. He had never expected that a single lecture, where he had only asked everyone if they had any questions … would attract such a monster.
But when he thought about how he, as the Chancellor, could not be stumped by a student, the Chancellor gritted his teeth and took out his voice transmission ring. He directly sent a voice transmission to his elder brother in the Upper Academy Island's Dharmic Armament Pavilion.
Ethereal Dao College was divided into the Lower Academy Island and the Upper Academy Island. Being able to enter the Upper Academy Island was akin to a carp leaping over the dragon's gate. From then on, one would no longer be a mortal but a cultivator.
And corresponding to the Lower Academy Island's Dharmic Armament faculty was the Upper Academy Island's Dharmic Armament Pavilion. In the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, the status of an elder was higher than that of a Pavilion Master. Only a Dharmic Armament Grandmaster could hold this position.
After receiving his junior brother's voice transmission, the elder grandmaster sitting cross-legged in the Upper Academy Island's Dharmic Armament Pavilion could not help but be surprised. After looking at the questions his junior brother had sent through the voice transmission ring, this grandmaster's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Interesting." He smiled, stood up, and took a step forward. In an instant, the clouds transformed into a flying sword beneath his feet, and he rose into the air from Upper Academy Island.
Its speed was so fast that it transformed into a long rainbow. As if it had broken through the sky, it appeared on the Lower Academy Island's Chancellor Peak!
Just as it neared, a strong and shocking aura suddenly spread out, causing countless birds and beasts on the Chancellor Peak to tremble. Even the students from the other faculties felt it and were all shocked.
And this aura was even more clearly felt by the crowd on the Chancellor Peak. With the appearance of the elder, it immediately caused the Head Prefects in the hall to exclaim in surprise. One by one, they quickly stood up and looked over. Wang Baole also hurriedly looked over and saw the elder descending from the sky.
This elder had the demeanor of a transcendent being. He wore a long white robe and had a ruddy complexion. His eyes, especially, seemed to contain lightning. His feet were even stepping on a flying sword.
This scene made Wang Baole gasp. The surrounding crowd's breathing quickened.
"A cultivator!" Zheng Liang and the others beside him exclaimed softly.
Most of the Head Prefects were excited. Although it was the Spirit Inception Era and everyone was cultivating, most of them were in the Ancient Martial Arts realm. Only after breaking through the Ancient Martial Arts realm and attaining the True Breath realm could one be considered a cultivator.
It was obvious that the old man's level of cultivation was above that of the True Breath realm. Just the pressure he exuded when he arrived was enough to make the hearts of the crowd tremble. It was as if the old man's gaze was enough to destroy their bodies and souls.
Especially … the sword beneath the elder's feet. It shone with a myriad of colors and was so dazzling that even the air around it seemed to distort. It could be imagined that once this flying sword was wielded, it would definitely shock everyone.
"That must be a Spirit Treasure, or even a Dharmic Armament!" Cao Kun's breathing quickened as he exclaimed.
Amidst the shock of the crowd, the Chancellor stood up and led the dean and teachers behind him to welcome the elder.
"Greetings, Elder Senior Brother!" The Chancellor politely cupped his fists and bowed.
The old man laughed and took a step forward. The flying sword beneath his feet disappeared, and when it reappeared, it was hovering above his head. Looking from afar, it was a breathtaking sight. The old man quickly walked forward and helped the monastery head up.
"Junior Brother, you don't have to do this. You're just too stubborn. Forget it, forget it." It was obvious that the elder and the Chancellor had a past. At that moment, he shook his head and said a few words. Then, he did not speak again. Instead, he stepped into the hall with the Chancellor and sat at the front.
As for the dean and the rest, they were all extremely respectful. Their eyes were filled with worship as they waited on the elder.
"There are quite a few good seedlings in this batch." After taking his seat, the elder smiled and swept his gaze across the Head Prefects. Those who were sized up by his gaze all perked up and puffed out their chests.
Wang Baole also quickly puffed out his chest. When he looked at the elder, his eyes were filled with intense envy. He was envious of the other party's Dharmic Armament and also envious of the elder's cultivation and status as a strong person. All of this was the direction that he was pursuing. At the same time, it was also the goal of all the Head Prefects present.
"Not bad, all of you are very spirited." The elder laughed heartily, and the Chancellor, who was beside him, was also very pleased with himself. After a brief conversation, the Chancellor raised the question that Wang Baole had raised.
The elder stroked his beard. His gaze involuntarily fell on Wang Baole. Gradually, he revealed a look of admiration.
"Indeed, it involves high-level Inscriptions study. This subject is too complicated. When you reach the Upper Academy Island, you will naturally come into contact with it. Now, I will only tell you one important point. Two words … simplify!
"Eliminate some unnecessary Inscriptions and leave behind the most basic and indispensable Inscriptions. Many of the processes in this do not require textbooks but self-creation. So far, after simplifying the cold and hot Inscriptions, there are 97 types of Inscriptions. This is the minimum number of Inscriptions that our Federation has come up with over the years after countless great masters have put in their blood and sweat.
"I hope that one day, you will be able to simplify it to 96, 95, or even fewer Inscriptions!" The elder's voice was loud and clear. After he finished speaking, Wang Baole's heart trembled. Although the other party had not completely solved his doubts, the word 'simplify' was equivalent to giving him a direction. Starting from this direction, Wang Baole was confident that he could speed up the derivation of the formula. At that moment, in his excitement, he took a deep breath and cupped his fists in a bow.
"Many thanks, Senior!"
The surrounding Head Prefects all looked at Wang Baole enviously. At that moment, they all knew that the elder had come to answer Wang Baole's questions!
Among the Head Prefects, Cao Kun's heart was trembling. He was no longer envious, but extremely jealous. He was even more alarmed. He once again felt that his position as Head Prefect of the Inscriptions Head Prefect was … very dangerous!
"Wang Baole, what other questions do you have? You may ask now," the Chancellor said with a smile, feeling truly relieved.
"Speak, what other questions do you have?" The elder also smiled and looked at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole knew that this was a rare opportunity. At this moment, after cupping his fists again, he hurriedly asked all the questions in his mind.
"The method of concentrating will involves 50,000 Inscriptions. How do you identify them?"
"Concentrating Divine Thought is like concentrating the soul. There is no need to identify them, just feel them!"
"I have observed millions of Inscriptions, and there are tens of thousands of blank Inscriptions. These Inscriptions seem to be omnipotent, but they do not fit in with the other Inscriptions … as if … they are very special!"
"They are indeed omnipotent, because these tens of thousands of blank Inscriptions are actually only 13. Through their decay, tens of thousands of new Inscriptions have been created. They are indeed special because these 13 Inscriptions did not come from the Starry Sky Sword, but were created by each of the 13 Great Masters of the Federation over the years! "
His questions might have been difficult for Goatee and the others, but for this elder, they were all very simple. He did not even need to think before he gave the answers directly.
Even the answers were full of vigor. Not only did they shock the surrounding crowd, but Wang Baole was also enlightened. As the questions and answers were exchanged, time passed, and the surrounding crowd seemed to have turned to stone.
The awkward thing was that in this hall, all of them seemed to have become decorations. Only Wang Baole and the elder's questions and answers were the center of attention!
And the formula deduction in Wang Baole's mind became faster and faster. In the end, it reached the point where the answers would appear in his mind as soon as the questions appeared!
