Deng Puhe wrote on the blackboard at incredible speed. He had already filled five large blackboards onstage, and Song He's gaze returned to the area above the second one.
He got it!
Above the second blackboard, several steps he hadn't understood suddenly connected in his mind!
The dim formulas flared brightly like electrified fluorescent tubes!
The corners of Song He's lips curled up, his face filled with delight. Then a prompt popped up in his mind.
Mathematics Progress detected. Rising from Grandmaster Level 13 to Grandmaster Level 14!
He continued listening, trying to work backward from the later steps to understand the earlier ones, using one incomprehensible portion to decipher another.
This way of thinking was extremely rare. It required an absurdly powerful ability to understand. If his peers knew that this young scholar could use such a method to comprehend the unknown, they would probably all turn pale and curse him as a freak!
His brain continued to burn. Countless accumulated mathematical concepts were like stirred embers, sending sparks flying in every direction.
Suddenly, some dim formulas on the third blackboard lit up as well!
Almost simultaneously, a system prompt appeared before his eyes.
Mathematics Progress detected. Rising from Grandmaster Level 14 to Grandmaster Level 15!
Song He's spirits soared. Keep going!
Sweat poured increasingly heavily from his head. His brain seemed to be boiling. Song He felt that if he cut open his scalp right now, billowing steam would spray out, carrying the faint fragrance of simmered brain.
Another ten minutes passed, and another string of formulas lit up in the lower-right corner of the second blackboard!
Mathematics Progress detected. Rising from Grandmaster Level 15 to Grandmaster Level 16!
Song He was
