After the daily demonstration, all members of the demonstration department gather together to discuss and exchange cultivation issues, which lasts for at least half an hour. This is a unique rule of this world. After all, the people who can participate in research in this world are monks, and cultivation is as necessary for them as eating and drinking. In addition, at this stage, the person in charge of the demonstration project will also come out to provide guidance to these subordinates-this is also part of the reward.

Chen Feng's subordinates who were also researching Qi Refining all gathered together in twos and threes, excitedly discussing their new understanding of the brain or soul, and the details of practices such as "refining souls into the brain", or the help of neuron structure in the construction of soul class Divine Ability. Chen Feng is sitting on the test bench not far away and reading a book by himself. If someone asks him a question, he will explain it.

But most of the time, people don't go to Chen Feng to ask questions. Everyone's level is slightly different, and Chen Feng's experience is of little help to them.

This is just like a university mathematics professor who may not be able to teach elementary school Olympiad mathematics well.

Li Zhengguo has enough skills to discuss with Chen Feng. He is a monk of Foundation Establishment Perfection and is currently working hard to accumulate a higher quality golden elixir. Although he is only an outsider, he has worked hard in various empirical departments in Shenjing for many years and is very skilled in experimental techniques.

However, today he did not go to Chen Feng for advice as usual. This was partly because he had recently come up with a new Divine Ability and was currently constructing the details, so there was nothing that needed to be discussed. The other half was because of the weird "communication" outside the window that attracted his attention.

The two boys and girls, who were said to be senior disciples of the Myriad Dharma Sect, were competing with each other with swords. Compared to Li Zhengguo, who was already thirty years old, they were a bit too young, especially the girl, who still had a childlike look on her face, she was just like a child.

But the swordsmanship in the hands of these two "children" is not childish at all.

In his eyes, these two guys were not practicing, they were clearly competing with each other with the intention of killing each other.

Their sword moves are dense, fast, and delicate, and they collide dozens of times every second. If one side's moves are wrong again, the other side will kill the opponent in an instant!

But in the eyes of Chen Youjia and Wang Qi, this was just an exchange of swordsmanship in the nature of feeding moves.

This is caused by the huge difference in the fighting styles of the two sects. Tianlingling's boxing relies on the Tianlingling monks' physiques and mana that are several times more powerful than those of the same level. It is based on ergonomics and brings the characteristics of the human body to the extreme. The "error-tolerance rate" of this style of fighting is very high. Even if the defense is lost, the opponent will be at a disadvantage at most, and there will be no dilemma like Wanfamen's dilemma of one wrong step and one wrong step.

Myriad Dharma Sect's martial arts is the product of another system. Except for a few basic items, these Mathematicians don't care at all whether their moves can be performed with a human body. They only care about whether the trajectory of their fists or swords is graceful. Is the theory reflected between fists and feet complicated? This is also the reason why Myriad Dharma Sect adopts such a dangerous style of play - they are confident that they will never make a mistake in their calculations on the spot. And as long as they make no mistakes in their calculations, then Myriad Dharma Sect's moves can abuse all enemies.

At this time, Chen Youjia was also a little frightened.

Wang Qi's progress in the field of swordsmanship is equally frighteningly fast. Swordsmanship should have been the domain of topology, geometry, and Change-Sky Formula[functions]. But Wang Qi has re-invented it through set theory. He deconstructed all theories in the field of mathematics and piled them up in his mind with another implementation. He also had a special understanding of all the details of swordsmanship. In his eyes, sword moves were no longer an organic whole, but a stack of countless subtle movements.

He can improvise the most appropriate moves in any situation.

Every time he fights, the left and right details and moves in the fight will be shattered in his mind, and then every element will be calculated, rearranged, and broken again. This process will be repeated continuously. The experience he has accumulated in one fight is something that others cannot learn from a hundred bloody fights. The next fight will be an opportunity for him to test new moves.

Since deductions made from pure mathematics may not be completely smooth when applied in practice, Wang Qi's sword moves are not always exquisite. There are also some moves that are beautiful, but they are just airs and are of little use in actual combat. Even so, Chen Youjia is also amazed by Wang Qi's repeated strange moves.

This swordsmanship has already demonstrated the "spirituality" of arithmetic.

Fortunately, Chen Youjia has a similar approach. Her swordsmanship was inherited from Chen Jingyun. Although she doesn't have any particularly powerful killing moves, the minimalist moves derived from number theory are the same as her father's. She has a similar swordsmanship approach to Wang Qi, so given his rich experience, she can naturally overpower Wang Qi.

"But it won't last long... It will take about nine months, maybe half a year, before he can reach my current level." Chen Youjia was secretly frightened, and at the same time felt that he needed to strengthen his training in this area.

Immediately, the two men sheathed their swords at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding. This move made Li Zhengguo murmur, "Do they know each other? Such a tacit understanding?"

"That's not a tacit understanding, but an estimate of the opponent's swordsmanship." Chen Feng walked to Li Zhengguo's side at the right time and explained aloud, "In the eyes of the Myriad Dharma Sect's disciples, other people's strength is just an arithmetic problem. These two guys have been competing for so many days., knowing enough 'conditions', we have an estimate of each other's strength and possible progress next time. Then during the sword fight, this estimate will be revised by the newly added conditions. This is an area that we Sky Spirit Ridge cannot learn, so don't look at them and concentrate on your research."

"Sorry!" Li Zhengguo hurriedly lowered his head. Chen Feng then walked out of the house and came to Wang Qi. Wang Qi sat on the ground without any image, with the Treasure Weapon-level sword casually inserted beside him. Chen Feng smiled and said, "How do you feel?"

Wang Qi said while moving his wrist, "Okay, it's much faster than beating you up."

Chen Youjia said calmly, "I feel like I am doing mental arithmetic training."

It's complicated and basic, but it's still a necessary basic skill.

Wang Qi immediately fired back. Looking at these two people, Chen Feng felt like "Ah, we are finally on the right track."

There was a knock on the door. It was obviously very urgent, and the sound sounded like banging on the door.

An apprentice who was responsible for running errands opened the door. Huangfu Lian rushed in and shouted, "Wang Qi, Wang Qi, hurry up and take a look at this!"

Wang Qi took the paper handed over by Huangfu Lian and froze before he even asked what the matter was.
