Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 135: The Episode Where Jia Xiu Shows His True Strength

The fourth round of the five-school competition, which was also the last round of the preliminary round, was held in a theater.

After all, putting the problem-solving session in an open-air setting seems a bit too strange.

The organizers selected the Sacred Tree Theatre, the largest theatre in Serdarion, which can accommodate up to 1800 people.

As a theater, the architectural design places great emphasis on providing excellent acoustics, ensuring that the sound propagation is three-dimensional and full, with a reverberation of more than one second.

The effect was so good that the boos and jeers from a hundred or so people sounded like the commotion caused by thousands of people.

Margaret, sitting in the audience, was getting a little annoyed by the noise.

I really want to summon an earth elemental governor so that anyone who boos Jash will get a slap in the face.

The team leader noticed that Margaret was a little agitated and said, "Don't worry, haven't you noticed that Jassi doesn't seem to be affected much?"

The audience included not only people who came to watch the excitement or follow celebrities, but also teams of teachers from various universities. Compared to ordinary audience members, their perspectives were much more professional.

In their view, Jia Xiu was clearly not someone who "could only answer 10-point questions," but rather someone whose basic knowledge was frighteningly solid.

Even if these teachers came, even those who only teach general magical knowledge, they would still find it difficult to reach Jaxiu's level.

Upon hearing the team leader's words, Margaret looked towards the stage.

Indeed, Jassiu on stage seemed unaffected and even engaged in intense interaction with Jacob's fans.

He tilted his head and put his hand next to his ear, signaling the audience to speak louder.

After responding with a sarcastic remark, Jia Xiu opened the question bank again.

"After resting for a few minutes, contestant Jia Xiu returned to the competition. He was about to continue answering questions. Was he spurred on by Jacob's challenge of the 1,000-point question? So, will contestant Jia Xiu choose to challenge the 1,000-point question as well, or will he continue with his original strategy? With his answering efficiency, scoring 1,000 points should be no problem."

Even in the commentary of the dwarf who trusted Jia Xiu very much, it was believed that he would at most choose the questions with a score of 1000.

He had already checked the information with the Vita Sage Academy's event team before the competition started.

The questions worth 1000 points are the most difficult questions that contestants can solve under extreme conditions, as designed by them.

As for the three with higher scores, they were just there for the sake of creating a TV show effect.

It's a little "Easter egg".

However, their sense of humor was a bit distorted, and nobody found the Easter egg funny.

In the mind of the competition team, even if one of the students participating in the competition is able to prove one of these conjectures in the future, that is a matter for the future, and it is not something that can be figured out in a few hours.

however……

"Contestant Jia Xiu has chosen question number 363. No contestant has chosen this question yet. The question is..."

"Proof of the Rune Node Excited State Inequality Conjecture!"

Before the explanation could even begin, the professor, who was a guest speaker, excitedly interjected, "This is a problem worth 10,000 points, and to this day, no one has publicly published a reliable proof of the conjecture! If it can be fully proven, it will be applied to the optimization of elemental arrays, and its practical value is very high!"

The professor's excitement stemmed from the way his team chose the "Easter egg."

The three problems chosen were all ones that the professor in the team had tried to solve, but ultimately failed.

The problem that the guest professor couldn't solve is precisely the one Jia Xiu has chosen now.

"Is he capable of solving this problem? Logically, the probability of him successfully proving it is extremely low; emotionally, I hope to witness a miracle happen at this moment."

Although there is much debate between Vita and St. Delos regarding which is the best spellcasting school in Larwin.

However, both academies share the same pursuit of the truth of magic.

The guest professor was delighted to see that someone could solve this problem that had troubled him for a long time.

Even if this person attends a rival academy, he would still be happy to see it.

The audience, including Jia Xiu's "family and friends," were also taken aback by his choice.

Margaret's first reaction was that Jassi was up to something again.

Anyway, the whole job only costs one point. Losing one point means the whole job is a good job, which is very much in line with Jia Xiu's usual style.

But seeing his serious expression, Margaret suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be joking.

Jia Xiuzhen really wanted to prove this conjecture.

Doing unexpected things is also in line with his usual style.

On stage, Jia Xiu took a deep breath.

Just minutes ago, he had a flash of inspiration, a flash of inspiration that might prove his conjecture.

Although there is a long way to go from inspiration to a complete proof, it is hard to say whether this inspiration will lead to the final proof.

But you'll never know unless you try.

To clear his mind, Jia Xiu simultaneously activated his "wise man's time."

The primary effect of the "wise man's time" is for learning new knowledge, but the accompanying improvement in comprehension and mental agility can also be very useful in proving problems.

With the combined effect of the two benefits, Jia Xiu's temporary intelligence reached an unprecedented level.

He picked up his pen and began to try to complete the proof.

The projected image no longer showed a close-up of his face, but instead showed what he was writing.

The director, who is best at finding trending topics, would not miss this most dramatic moment.

Whether Jia Xiu succeeds or not, his risky move will become the hottest topic in this round of the competition.

If successful, it will be a legendary story.

A gifted student proves a famous conjecture on the field of competition. Where are the limits of a young person's talent?

Of course, this conjecture is not a famous one. Its difficulty, influence, and historical attempts to prove it are not at the level of a famous conjecture.

It's far from the point where anyone, regardless of whether they're a spellcaster or understand magic, can spout a few words about this conjecture.

If I had to put it in perspective, the importance of this conjecture is at most two levels below those truly famous conjectures.

But that's not important. How can publicity work, chasing trends, be based on facts?

If Jia Xiu succeeds, this will become a famous conjecture in the subsequent versions of the legendary story.

But if the proof fails.

Without a doubt, Jassi will become a laughing stock in the history of the tournament.

Even if his risky move fails, the industry will maintain a positive attitude; daring to try and taking on challenges is always a good thing.

But public opinion doesn't just exist within the industry.

They'll definitely become "arrogant and overconfident students who completely overestimate their abilities, try to prove classic conjectures in competitions, and fail to recognize their own limitations..."

In the commentary booth, the guest professor began to interpret the proof written by Jia Xiu.

"It's arcane geometry. Jia Xiu is using arcane geometry to represent the specific state of the excited state. It's an interesting idea, using spatial structure to extend what was originally a purely numerical problem..."

Because it is so technical, even with professors giving explanations, it is beyond the comprehension of most of the audience.

Surprisingly, the audience did not lose interest because they couldn't understand it.

On the contrary, I looked at it more carefully.

Even the previously noisy hissing and sarcastic remarks quieted down.

It vividly illustrates what it means to not understand something, not even the words, but to seem incredibly impressive.

Aside from Jacob's most die-hard fans, no one thinks Jash is a professional opportunist anymore.

Even the professors at Vita College, who hate Santoro the most, praised his proof approach, so it must be extraordinary.

Meanwhile, the spellcaster academy teachers in the audience had already begun to verify what Jia Xiu had written.

Different teachers reached the same conclusion.

So far, everything has been correct, and Jia Xiu has a good chance of proving it here.

At this moment, Jia Xiu entered a state of complete absorption, smoothly carrying out the proof and derivation.

Every idea seemed to spring from his own mind, and all he was responsible for was writing it down.

Perhaps this is the greatest benefit that inspiration can provide; it is indeed powerful.

All attention was focused on Jassi and his proof; almost no one cared about the other contestants' answers anymore, including Jacob the Son.

The challenge of scoring a thousand points was the tactic he had devised to turn the tide in this round.

He will first solve a few problems to ensure he has a basic understanding, and then challenge himself with difficult problems. If all goes well, he will be the only contestant to solve a problem worth 1000 points and win the fourth round.

That makes him the winner of both the first and fourth rounds of the competition.

The lead is not as big as Jia Xiu's, but the number of first place finishers is at least equal.

At the same time, they gained considerable attention for solving the difficult problem.

The Holy Son still craves attention.

Now the whole plan has been disrupted. Someone even more ruthless has appeared, proving a conjecture and allowing Jia Xiu to monopolize the close-up projection for more than an hour, and it seems to be continuing.

what happens.

Wasn't Jia Xiu planning to rest after completing enough questions to advance? He even started to rest, but somehow, he suddenly rekindled his fighting spirit.

Who exactly offended him?

Whoever offends him should take responsibility for losing first place.

Jacob's problem isn't just losing first place; he might have to advance as one of the lower-ranked players.

I was quite confident in my solution and didn't hesitate much during the process.

As a result, Jia Xiu's unexpected move completely disrupted his train of thought.

Now it seems like nothing is written correctly.

It's simply a case of the person being incompetent blaming the uneven road.

The commentators and guests continued to explain Jia Xiu's progress, which put even more pressure on him.

His reason told him not to pay attention to Jia Xiu's situation and to focus on his own business.

But he's not acting rationally right now.

The more I compared, the worse I felt his answers were.

There wasn't enough time to work on a slightly more difficult question, so Jacob could only focus as much as possible on checking his answers.

At this point, the staff reminded them, "The competition time is about to end, please submit all your answers as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief. Jassiu's proof seemed to be progressing well, but that was all.

It's impossible to finish before the end of the match under any circumstances.

He can't submit it.

The ultimate winner will still be Jacob. He lost the hot topic, but he won the game, which is an acceptable result.

Seeing that Jassiu was still focused on writing the proof, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and submitted his answer.

With those thousand points, he's definitely number one.

Fortunately, Jia Xiu didn't get to take all the fame and achievements.

However, half a minute after submitting.

"Answer incorrect, deduct one point."

Jacob couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"What happened to the answer?"

"There's an error, deduct one point," the staff member emphasized again.

"What's the answer...?"

Jacob seemed to have lost his hearing, repeating the same question without hearing the staff's answers.

Regardless of whether he can hear it or not, points will still be deducted.

The "good news" is that he wasn't the only one present who couldn't hear.

Jia Xiu was so engrossed in proving his case that he completely ignored the staff's urging.

"The competition time has ended. Please stop answering questions and submit your final answer."

The staff member reminded them.

Jia Xiu completely ignored him.

His proof had entered the final stage, making it difficult to notice external interference.

Forget about verbal reminders, he wouldn't even feel a pat on the shoulder; you'd have to punch him at least.

The staff felt somewhat helpless. According to regulations, Jia Xiu should be stopped now, but given the current situation, it didn't seem appropriate to actually stop him.

"Let him continue."

The voice of the person in charge of this round of the competition came from behind me.

"His score is high enough to pass this round. The competition is over. Now it's time for pure researchers."

And so, even though the competition was over, no one left the theater.

All the spectators, teachers, and other contestants waited to witness that final, crucial moment.

The person in charge has been paying close attention to Jia Xiu's proof.

The problem of excited states of rune nodes is transformed into an arcane geometry problem. After the proof is completed, it is transformed back into its original form.

The idea is not complicated.

The core lies in the construction of spells, demonstrating an astonishing understanding and keen insight into runes.

Aside from being exceptionally gifted, I can't think of any other explanation.

The world of research is ultimately a world of gifted geniuses.

Such a genius, how could he be Saint-Deros's son? What a waste.

Although St. Delos's research level is higher than Vita's, as a professor at Vita Academy, he doesn't admit it, absolutely doesn't admit it, he may admit it in his heart but he won't admit it out loud...

Twenty minutes after the end of the match, Jia Xiu wrote the final few strokes of his proof.

"In summary, since the arcane vector product relationship holds, the corresponding magical activation state relationship also holds, and by reorganizing, we can obtain..."

"The relationship that is always less than holds true."

"Done."

After finishing writing, Jia Xiu checked the entire process from the beginning. At this point, the entire theater was completely silent, and there was not even a sound of narration.

"That's it."

After checking, Jia Xiu asked, "The final submission deadline should have passed, right?"

“Yes,” the person in charge replied.

"Is this certificate valid? Although it doesn't count as a point, I personally think it's still quite important."

The effects of the Inspiration Fruit wore off, and Jia Xiu exited the state of absolute concentration and intellectual enhancement, his speech becoming incoherent again.

The person in charge did not answer directly, but instead applauded.

Applause is the best answer.

Led by him, applause began to ripple and gradually spread throughout the venue.

Those who initially booed are now applauding.

Jia Xiu turned his head again, put his hand to his ear, and asked people to speak louder.

Actually, not everyone is convinced.

Some people were still muttering, "It wasn't proven in a competition, what are they pretending for..."

But nobody cared.
