A Formula That Came Out of Nowhere

A Formula That Came Out of Nowhere

Outside the classroom.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo listened to the voices within, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from inside.

They exchanged a glance, and both saw fear in the other's eyes.

"We're done for! Dr. Ratio is definitely going to get hurt. The Pope is truly angry. Sigh, I wonder why Dr. Ratio suddenly brought that up."

"Yeah. My previous discussions with Dr. Ratio benefited me greatly. I really don't want to see him being punished."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both sighed. They greatly admired Dr. Ratio.

Or rather, anyone who had interacted with Dr. Ratio would sincerely admire his talent.

Not only had he made achievements in Soul Power theory.

In many other fields, he was a master as well!

For example, flower appreciation—botany, in other words—had made Chrysanthemum Douluo regard him as a kindred spirit.

His research into certain dark psychological issues had once made him Ghost Douluo's attending physician, greatly easing his psychological trauma.

Now, even when facing Tang Hao, he would never be scared out of his wits again.

If someone else dared to cause trouble for Dr. Ratio, they would certainly be willing to step in.

But the problem was that the threatening presence inside belonged to a "tigress" they could not afford to offend either.

"What are you doing? Why are you so scared?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were so startled that they nearly jumped.

They hurriedly turned around and saw a silver-haired "youth" standing behind them.

He had appeared without a sound; even the two Titled Douluo had failed to sense him.

It was Light Feather Douluo, the Fourth Elder of the Worship Hall!

"Fifth Elder!" Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo greeted him, then immediately explained the entire situation to Light Feather Douluo.

They both hoped Light Feather Douluo could go inside and help Dr. Ratio out of the predicament.

After hearing them out, Light Feather Douluo frowned slightly and muttered, "Ratio told me he was going to announce this theory. I came under the Grand Elder's orders to try and stop him..."

In other words, he did not actually want Dr. Ratio to release his research findings.

"Sigh, but I'm also his good friend..."

"Seeking with an attitude of denial is still a form of seeking. It can likewise help us reach the correct destination." Dr. Ratio smiled at Bibi Dong and praised her sincerely.

He did not mind being questioned. What he feared instead was everyone blindly following authority without thinking for themselves.

Of course, Bibi Dong was definitely opposing him mindlessly right now.

Dr. Ratio swept his gaze around the room but did not immediately answer Bibi Dong's challenge.

"Students, what are your thoughts on the formula I have presented? Don't be afraid of being wrong. Just say what you think." Dr. Ratio asked clearly.

The students looked at one another. These gifted Soul Masters were hardly deeply versed in Martial Soul Theory.

Before Dr. Ratio became their instructor, they had looked down on theory instructors, so naturally they had never studied very seriously.

Now, regarding the formula Dr. Ratio had presented, they had only one thought.

That was... awesome!

And beyond that, they had no other thoughts at all!

After thinking for a moment, Xie Yue raised his hand. "Dr. Ratio, there are many symbols in this formula that we don't recognize. Although you've labeled their meanings, how are we supposed to measure them? Can it be easily replicated?"

Dr. Ratio nodded slightly. "Plus two points."

Yan then shouted, "Dr. Ratio, I don't think this formula means anything. Never mind whether it's true or false—even if it's true! When those children turn six, they can still awaken their Martial Souls..."

"Idiot, Yan. Did you forget what Dr. Ratio just said? Following the formula can increase the probability of a child awakening a specific Martial Soul!"

Hu Liena rolled her beautiful eyes, unable to stand Yan's stupidity.

Yan's face reddened, and he added the grudge of being scorned by Hu Liena to Dr. Ratio's account.

At that moment, another female student gathered her courage and said:

"Dr. Ratio, I'm curious about what you really look like. Could you take that off during class? We should be able to concentrate better that way."

The other students were immediately led astray. They all looked at Dr. Ratio expectantly and eagerly echoed her.

"That's right, Dr. Ratio. You're always wearing that strange Plaster Head Sculpture. We can't even see your eyes, so naturally we can't study attentively!"

"Dr. Ratio, please take it off!"

"Exactly! I feel like if we could see Dr. Ratio's true face, we'd study more diligently!"

"..."

The students all began egging him on.

Though Bibi Dong was still fuming, seeing Dr. Ratio being "besieged" made the corners of her lips curl up instinctively.

"The doubts Xiao Gang suffered back then were far worse than what you're facing now!"

"What you're suffering now isn't enough! You bastard who dared question Xiao Gang deserve to be questioned even more!"

Bibi Dong cursed Dr. Ratio in her heart.

In fact, she had nearly forgotten what her nominal son-in-law truly looked like.

Ever since he was fifteen, when his features had not yet fully grown in, he had worn this sculpture.

Thus, Bibi Dong's mind held only a hazy impression of Dr. Ratio.

Faced with the students' urging, Dr. Ratio remained completely unmoved. He chuckled. "No. If I take off the sculpture, it will do your studies more harm than good."

Dr. Ratio knew how devastating his face was to young girls.

And once he revealed his true face, those people would devote most of their attention to it.

Though he did not understand what was so interesting about a face.

That was simply a fact he had no choice but to face.

Being too handsome was also a kind of trouble!

The students sighed, all looking deeply disappointed.

Yan, meanwhile, loved stirring up trouble and screeched, "Dr. Ratio, don't tell me you're disfigured? Is that why you wear a sculpture? Otherwise, you look pretty good too. Why would you not dare show your face?"

No one else refuted him. They all hoped Yan could provoke Dr. Ratio into revealing his true appearance.

Dr. Ratio still would not be provoked by a child's goading.

Dr. Ratio smiled. "Now, let's begin with Xie Yue's question. A large portion of these symbols were established by me. Here are their definitions."

Dr. Ratio pointed to a section of the Blackboard containing explanations for several unknown symbols.

"As for measuring what these symbols represent, I naturally have corresponding methods. Otherwise, I would not have obtained this experimental data." Dr. Ratio raised his hand and clenched it, and a measuring instrument appeared in his hand.

He set them out one by one, over twenty precision instruments in total.

Fortunately, because Soul Power existed in the Douluo World, tests on blood cells did not need to be excessively precise.

Otherwise, Dr. Ratio would first have had to advance the Douluo World's technological development.

Bibi Dong watched this coldly, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper.

The negative emotions in her heart churned more fiercely.

Gradually, she could no longer suppress them...
