When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 139 You Pass
"interesting."

Professor Ye raised his eyebrows, slowly stood up, revealing a sharpness that was completely opposite to his attire.

She was stunningly beautiful, her face sculpted like cold jade, with distinct features yet retaining a woman's elegance. Her eyebrows, like distant mountains with sharp edges, were naturally black and slanted upwards towards her temples, adding a touch of fierceness.

Without a doubt, she is a strong woman.

Even dressed in the finery of ancient women and styled in a flying fairy bun, she could not conceal her domineering and sharp nature.

“Even Mu Yaoguang couldn’t pass the test within three minutes back then. Although she succeeded on her first try, it took her more than ten minutes to decipher the mental cultivation method.”

Professor Ye looked at the chart on Bai Ze's body and said calmly, "Mu Yaoguang is quite lucky; she found a good prospect."

"It's all thanks to Senior Sister Yaoguang's excellent teaching," Bai Ze said quite modestly.

Although Mu Yaoguang never taught Bai Ze the cultivation method, the incomplete "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" that she gave Bai Ze was far more complex than this cultivation method.

It is clear that Mu Yaoguang had been quietly arranging tutoring for Bai Ze for a long time.

If Bai Ze could complete the foundation building of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand", completing this mental cultivation method would naturally be no problem for him.

Of course, the fact that she was able to complete the task within three minutes, surpassing Mu Yaoguang, was thanks to the power of words becoming law.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Bai Ze almost lost his composure when he heard that Mu Yaoguang had also succeeded on the first try.

Success on the first try—that's some serious talent.

"She's certainly learned how to win people's hearts."

Professor Ye said something indifferently, seemingly not getting along with Mu Yaoguang, and then tapped a few times, as if he was performing some operation.

A phantom image of Tai Chi Bagua replaced the text of the mental cultivation method and appeared in mid-air.

Professor Ye reached out again, and symbols multiplied outside the Bagua, forming a giant compass.

"Unravel this compass, obtain the Tai Chi symbol in the center, and you'll pass the rest of the assessments directly," Professor Ye said in a voice as firm as ice, carrying an invisible authority.

Those circular rotations, layer upon layer, appeared as countless symbols in Bai Ze's eyes.

This is a peculiar magic square that incorporates the Eight Trigrams.

A magic square is an ancient term for a mathematical game in which natural numbers from one to several are arranged into a square with a certain number of numbers in each of the four columns and one diagonal, such that the sum of the numbers in the same row, column, and diagonal is equal.

The original Tai Chi Bagua was actually a nine-palace diagram.

The nine-square magic square has three rows and three columns, and is the most basic third-order magic square.

If this compass is transformed into a square table with seven columns in each direction, it is a true seventh-order magic square, far more difficult than a nine-square grid.

The key is that it doesn't present numbers, but rather mysterious symbols, which makes it even more difficult.

This is a difficult problem that combines the ancient and the modern, and also incorporates the Eight Trigrams. If we were to start calculating from scratch, it would probably take Bai Ze a long time to grow old.

However, the solution to the seventh-order magic square had already been calculated by predecessors, so Bai Ze did not need to start from scratch.

Even if given a square table of numbers, Bai Ze can easily calculate it in a short time.

All that daily freestyle swimming in the ocean during this period wasn't for nothing.

After swimming like this every day, it's as if Bai Ze has grown an extra brain.

The challenge lies in the ever-rotating compass and how symbols evolve into numbers.

According to Bai Ze's observation, the numbers represented by these symbols are not decimal, but octal, which evolved from the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

"Mechanical mind".

"Simulation calculation".

Bai Ze's lips moved, adding a few words while mentally calculating, giving himself a buff.

He reached out and pressed down, causing the manifested compass to come to a standstill, with one of its rings rotating. Simultaneously, as this ring rotated, another ring within the already stopped compass also began to rotate.

The rotation of each ring will cause the other rings to rotate.

The computational difficulty has increased.

Countless numerical symbols appeared in his mind as Bai Ze performed calculations while turning the compass.

First, the numbers represented by each symbol are calculated.

At this point, Bai Ze was already able to use his words to decipher the compass.

The biggest challenge in solving the problem of "words become law" is that Bai Ze doesn't know how to solve it either, as he has neither a process nor an answer, and has no concept in his mind.

Even if time were to reverse or the dead were to be brought back to life, Bai Ze would know how to act. As long as enough power is provided, Bai Ze is fully capable of performing such miracles.

But if he doesn't even have a concrete concept in his mind, then his words will not become law.

Once Bai Ze understands the solution and the numbers represented by the symbols, he will be able to make the compass turn to the correct position on its own.

The premise is that he doesn't care if Professor Ye and Shen Qingquan see that magical scene.

The compass deciphered itself, isn't that amazing?
So, I'll just do it myself.

With the buff that makes one's words law, Bai Ze wasn't unable to break free; Mu Yaoguang's lessons hadn't been in vain.

It took about ten minutes for the compass to gradually return to center.

This made Professor Ye's eyes even more astonished.

'Not only is his martial arts talent extraordinary, but his mental and computational abilities are also exceptional.'

As the compass gradually returned to its correct position, Professor Ye said, "The moment you solve it, the compass will be scrambled again. You only have a split second. If you miss that moment, you'll have to solve the problem all over again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the compass clicked.

The central Tai Chi symbol is loosened.

In that instant, Bai Ze reached out and grabbed, "Come here."

A stream of internal energy landed directly in the center of the compass, capturing the Tai Chi symbol.

Driven by the principle that words become law, Bai Ze's internal energy flowed with unparalleled precision and composure.

He can even make the Tai Chi symbol fly automatically into his hand.

Bai Ze had already developed this feature when he was drawing lots.

"good."

Professor Ye looked Bai Ze up and down, then nodded slightly. "Passed."

She had previously seemed to be at odds with Mu Yaoguang, but at this moment she did not deliberately make things difficult for her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Ye turned around and waved his sleeve, and characters appeared on the wall at the end of the hall.

"The table of contents of the Cantongqi is on the wall. With your current permissions, you can exchange it for the general outline and one of the cultivation techniques. As for how to exchange it, do what you can."

Professor Ye's figure slowly faded away, leaving only his voice echoing softly.

"Furthermore, given your talent and computing power, I suggest you study the Department of I Ching."

As soon as she finished speaking, Professor Ye had disappeared, but her goodwill had been conveyed.

"The Department of I Ching Studies and the Department of Medicine are the two most popular majors at our school. In particular, the Department of I Ching Studies also has the authority to apply for the supercomputing Luoshu project."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingquan said to Bai Ze, "Congratulations, Bai Ze, you've received an invitation from the top scholar of the Yi Studies Department."
