"That child has a problem."
Chen Jingyun's words made several people attending the meeting furrow their brows. Feng Luoyi said, "Chen the Sect Leader, if it is only such a minor matter, there was no need for you to come all this way to tell us, was there? The people in charge beneath you could handle it."
Chen Jingyun shook his head. "It is more than that."
"Please elaborate."
Chen Jingyun got straight to the point. "Within days of entering the Immortal Academy, this child solved nearly ten calculation problems from the rear hall of Chuan Gong Hall."
Poli and Gu Ci had little involvement in the affairs of the Immortal Academy and did not know what this meant, but the others were visibly moved. Feng Luoyi asked, "Are you sure it was nearly ten? If they were the two problems Finger Counting on Both Hands and A Brief Treatise on Geometry, it would not be impossible for an Ancient Method Cultivator to solve them."
Deng Jiaxuan added, "This was the last matter I dealt with before joining the encirclement. I remember the report saying that the boy had broken through to the heavens merely half a day after encountering modern methods. What if he is simply an unparalleled genius in the Way of mathematics?"
Chen Jingyun shook his head. "Absolutely impossible. Given the mathematics involved in ancient methods, solving Finger Counting on Both Hands and A Brief Treatise on Geometry is already the limit. Besides, those problems were not purely mathematical problems."
Deng Jiaxuan shook his head. "If one ignores where the questions came from and treats them as pure mathematical problems, they are not difficult. One only needs to apply the formulas and provide the conclusions."
Chen Jingyun answered with absolute certainty. "He would not understand them."
"What?"
