Even Zhang Tie had not imagined that today's class would be the teacher's last. Since entering the Seventh National Male Middle School, he seemed to have been used to the grey-haired old man's quiet arrival and departure. He had never imagined that the old man would bid farewell to everyone on the rostrum one day. Hearing the teacher's words, even those who were still sleeping seemed to have woken up and stared at the old man in front of them in astonishment. They started to feel a bit reluctant.
"Teacher, are you really leaving?" a guy in the front row asked the others.
"I'm already old and have served Blackhot City for a long time. It's time for me to retire!" The old man on the rostrum smiled amiably. "I know what you're worried about. As long as the city wall of Blackhot City is not broken through by the foreign clans, my pension should be enough for me to enjoy the rest of my life. If I want the city wall of Blackhot City to be firm forever, it will depend on you, not me. Therefore, I'll have to rely on you for my retirement! Because of this, in today's last class, I will use my lifetime experience and knowledge to tell you what you're most concerned about — how does a powerful man who is able to protect the human race look like! "
The last sentence of the old man jolted everyone's spirit. Everyone straightened their backs and looked at this old man with scorching eyes, who suddenly made everyone feel reluctant to part with him and worthy of respect.
The old man didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a small, common snail shell and two pine cones from his pocket and distributed them to the front row. After one minute, the two common items had been passed from top to bottom. There was nothing special about them at all. Zhang Tie held them in his hand and looked at them over and over again for a few seconds, but he still couldn't find anything special about them.
"Have you found anything special about the snail shell and the two pine cones?" the old man asked.
Everybody shook their heads.
"Do you know that the secret of a human expert's path of advancement is hidden in these ordinary things? You all know that as long as a person continuously ignites his burning points, he will be able to constantly improve his fighting strength. However, what is the standard for dividing the fighting strength of human fighters? Why are some people LV 5, some LV 6, some LV 7, and some LV 10 or even higher? Who divided the levels and ranks of human fighters? Was it created by some big figures in the Fighters' Union? "
Zhang Tie was also stunned. Previously, Zhang Tie really thought that these standards were formulated by those big figures. Wasn't it true?
"Of course not. In this world, who has the right to make such a standard and make hundreds of millions of humans and powerful fighters follow it obediently?"
"Teacher, who was the one who set this standard?"
"It's not a human who made this standard, but God or the great universal law!"
All the horny students in the class were in an uproar and started to discuss.
"This standard wasn't set specifically for the human race, but was set by the laws of the universe for everything in this universe. The snail shell and the pine cone that I just gave you also contain the same standard, it's just that none of you have discovered it!" After saying this, the old man turned around and drew two patterns on the blackboard with chalk. One was a spiral curve in the shape of a snail shell, while the other was a crisscrossed line similar to that of a pine cone.
After that, the old man turned around and asked, "How many burning points do I need to ignite for a LV 1 fighter?"
"First, we only need to light the Shrine surging point..." they answered. After that, the old man drew a square in the center of the curve of the snail shell, letting the spiral curve pass through the two opposite corners of the square …
"What about LV 2?"
"Or one. Ignite the burning point on the coccyx of the spine …"
The old man expanded the pattern again and drew a square with the same length.
"What about LV 3?"
"Ignite two burning points on the spine!"
This time, double the length of the side of the square enclosed by the curve.
"What about LV 4?"
"Three!"
"What about LV 5?"
"Five!"
"What about LV 6?"
"Eight …"
Every time the old man asked the question, the spiral curve on the blackboard would be wrapped by various squares with increasing side lengths in the same proportion. In the end, when the old man asked about level 10, nobody in the class could answer the question. The world of fighters above level 10 was beyond the imagination of the horny students. For them, that world was as unreachable as the Cataclysm...
The science teacher didn't laugh at them. Instead, he wrote down a series of numbers on the blackboard — 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 … Then, he wrote down the corresponding levels and ranks under the numbers, starting from 1, which was LV 1, to 34, which was LV 9. Finally, he turned around and looked at everybody with shining eyes. "Haven't you found a rule among the numbers of burning points?"
After staring at that line of numbers for a while, someone finally understood. "Teacher, the last number is the sum of the first two numbers!"
"What else?"
Looking at those numbers, Zhang Tie wanted to think of something, but he couldn't grasp it no matter how hard he tried.
"Why don't you calculate the quotient of two adjacent numbers and see what the rule is?"
The horny students, who had some mathematical knowledge, started to calculate at their desks. The quotient of the first one was 1, the quotient of the second one was 0.5, the quotient of the third one was 0.66666, the quotient of the fourth one was 0.6, the quotient of the fifth one was 0.625, the quotient of the sixth one was 0.61538, the quotient of the seventh one was 0.619047, and the quotient of the eighth one was 0.617647 …
"Have you found that these numbers are infinitely approaching the golden number 0.618?" The old man revealed the answer. Everybody was enlightened. "Yes, why?"
"The Shrine burning point is 1, and the human spine has 34 segments. Starting from the Shrine, when you light all the burning points on the spine, you will become a LV 9 fighter. Each level has a strict standard. Now that you know this rule, how many burning points do you need to light to become a LV 10 fighter? Is it 55? What about 89? The further you go, the more terrifying the number will be. As for this sequence … "The old man turned around and pointed at the sequence of numbers written on the blackboard," It's called Fibonacci sequence. It was discovered by human mathematicians hundreds of years before the Catastrophe and contains numerous mysteries. It contains the laws of the universe and creation. Look at the spirals on the two pine cones and count them. The small one has five spirals on the left and eight on the right, while the big one has eight spirals on the left and thirteen on the right. Are 5, 8, and 13 in the Fibonacci sequence? I've drawn the curve of the snail shell that you've just seen on the blackboard. As long as you look at the squares on the curve of the snail shell, you'll understand the relationship between this curve and the sequence. This curve is called Fibonacci curve, also known as the golden curve. It's the geometric form of the sequence. The golden sequence and the golden curve can almost be found on any living being. If you pay attention to nature and the things around you, you'll find more. You can look at the disc of the sunflower. There are also two sets of spirals inside, namely, 34 and 55, 55 and 89, or 89 and 144. You'll also find the same thing on plants such as roses and thistle leaves. After the Cataclysm, humans discovered the mysteries of human cultivation from the relics that were excavated from the underground world. The path of human advancement and cultivation is advancing along the golden curve and sequence of numbers drawn by the Creator. All living creatures are advancing along this curve. This curve and sequence of numbers are the embodiment of the laws of the universe. Therefore, the ranks of warriors determined by this curve and sequence of numbers can be unanimously agreed upon by all humans and powerhouses … "
Hearing this, all the horny students felt as if their horizons had been broadened, including Zhang Tie. Previously, he only knew that he had to constantly light his burning points in order to advance to a higher level, and that the number of burning points required for each level was different. However, he had never thought about why this was the case. It turned out that all the secrets were hidden in the universal rules contained in the golden spiral and the sequence of numbers.
"Teacher, after the tenth level, what is the highest level of cultivation?" Bagdad raised his hand and asked a question.
"Up until now, no one has been able to answer this question. This is because the cultivation after level 10 is the biggest secret anywhere. The knowledge after level 10 is the secret of the secret. However, after the Catastrophe, humans realized that the so-called human race was just a trivial member among numerous races in the universe and Kun 'ang Continent. It's even possible that in a long period of time before the Catastrophe, humans' body and civilization level were not evolving; instead, they were regressing. When humans couldn't retreat anymore, the Catastrophe and the Star of God arrived. Everything was rewritten. In order to survive, humans discovered the secret of body surging points and started to walk on the road of evolution. The Age of Black Iron was the final end and also a new beginning … "Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The greater reason was that the golden sequence had no end. It was constantly approaching the 0.618 which represented the perfect rule of the God and the universe. In order to survive, humans discovered the secret of body surging points and started to walk on the road of evolution. The Age of Black Iron was the final end and a new beginning …"
In the last history class, the teacher opened a window that they had never thought about before — a window that allowed them to see a wider world. At the end of the lesson, everyone was manually calculating which step the Golden Sequence would take them to —
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144,233,377,610,987,1597...
