Chapter 281: Top Student Yang Solves Math Problems’ (Third Update)

After losing his third tail feather, the rooster completely lowered his proud head, looking at Yang Zhen with a face full of horror as he spoke three words as quickly as he could, “Snake Road, Guisi, Yin Guihai, Yang Guichou…”

Yang Zhen listened, utterly bemused. He slapped the rooster on the head, and angrilysaid, “SpeakEnglish!”

The rooster looked at Yang Zhen with disdain. Seeing that Yang was about to pluck more feathers, he quickly said, “English! English!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen was almost driven mad. The rascally cat on the side strangely remarked, “Kid, the rooster is speaking in English. This is the counting terminology from the ancient times.”

Upon hearing the rascal cat’s words, Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, “You know? What are these numbers, and what is Snake Road?” The rascal cat raised her head, looking smug. After thinking for a moment she blankly said, “Forgot!”

Dammit, each one was more unreliable than the other!

The Hongluan Spiritual Girl then spoke, “Snake Road should be that peculiar road on Ghost Crossing Gorge. The road is covered in square prohibitions and lined by two walls. One goes straight to the other side, while the other is not parallel, but actually has a certain angle.”

Yang Zhen was puzzled and asked, “What kind of road is this?”

The Hongluan Spiritual Girl chuckled bitterly and said, “Ordinarily it doesn’t matter; those prohibitions aren’t triggered. Anyone who crosses can pass at will. However, once the Ziwei Heavenly Lord awakens, the prohibitions on Snake Road activate, and it’s said that only one path can be passed; all the rest lead to death!”

Only when Yang Zhen saw the so-called Snake Road did he realize how damn hard it was to walk on.

To put it simply, it was an incredibly wide boulevard. The ground was filled with square prohibition grids, each about a foot in size. Like the Hongluan Spiritual Girl had explained, there was a wall on each side of the road, also covered in prohibitions—but these prohibitions were bulging circles.

As for the method of walking this road, it made Yang Zhen curse with anger. Unbelievably, the road wasn’t a straight path, but one where the walls were separated into yin and yang. The slanted was yang, the straight was yin, and as one moved along, one had to mark a continuous diagonal string of prohibitions. When reaching the yang wall, pressing the circular prohibition on the wall was necessary before redirecting oneself back towards the yin wall. This pattern repeated, mimicking a snake slithering, hence its name.

For many years, no one could pass through Snake Road for the reason that starting from the first prohibition, one could only follow a specific sequence of the prohibitions. With almost ten thousand prohibitions, selecting just one wrong prohibition would result in a violent explosion that would fling one off Snake Road. The lighter consequence was severe injury; the heavier consequence was death, and there were no exceptions!

“Motherfucker, the person who laid these prohibitions down was definitely mad!” Yang Zhen muttered to himself. As he looked at the numerous prohibitions, he almost developed a phobia. Grabbing Hua Youyue’s hand, he said, “Miss, let’s go. This road is impassable. Whoever wants to walk it can, but we won’t.”

God, even though Yang Zhen had returned all of his knowledge of probability to his teacher, in this situation, he knew that the chances of guessing the correct answer-if one didn’t know the method-were even less than the chances of winning fifty million.

With so many prohibitions, who the hell could know which angle to walk at or which prohibition to light up? Even if a blind cat bumped into a dead rat and got the first line right, after lighting up the prohibition on the opposite wall, at what angle should they walk? They surely couldn’t risk their lives and try all the prohibitions under their feet, one by one-that would use up thirty lives in no time!

Yang Zhen grumbled and tugged Hua Youyue over. When he turned hesitantly to face her, he asked, “What’s wrong? Ordinary people can’t walk on this damn thing. Listen to me; let’s not walk it.”

Hua Youyue turned her eyes and smiled. She said, “I remember now. In the counting method of ancient times, Guisi represents thirty, Guihai seems to be twice Guisi, which is sixty, and as for Guichou…it should be fifty…” That’s right! Just like that!” The rascally cat excitedly exclaimed, looking at Hua Youyue in disbelief. She asked, “Lass, how do you know the counting method of the ancient times?”

Hua Youyue paused and shook her head. She said, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but then his eyes lit with a sudden realisation. He said, “Wait, let me think…”

Yang Zhen squatted on the ground and drew two lines to represent the two walls with his finger. He murmured to himself, “Damn, two non-parallel lines, and one zigzag line in between…knowing three angles…this looks more and more like a mathematical problem!”

A mathematical problem?

Yang Zhen was dumbfounded. How did a math problem come up in this place? Upon this realization, Yang Zhen burst into laughter. He said, “Hold on, all of you. Wait for this genius to solve this problem and then I’ll lead you all through.”

Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with disbelief, their faces filled with bewilderment. The rascally cat drew near, curious, and asked, “Kid, what’s a mathematical problem?”

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and explained, “A mathematical problem is the most difficult form of knowledge in my hometown. It easily boggles the mind Anyone who can’t pass the test will be rejected by the whole world and will only be able to do hard labor.”

“What?” The rascally cat blinked, and said, “You mean the kind of brick that killed Lin Tianli? That doesn’ t sound bad; it seems very promising.”

Yang Zhen looked at the rascally cat disdainfully and said, “You don’t know shit!”

The rooster finally regained its freedom. However, instead of rushing to escape it stood proudly in front of Yang Zhen. Tilting its face, it glimpsed Yang Zhen’s ’ scribbling on the ground, casually straightening out itsbroidered feathers.

Similarly curious, Hua Youyue squatted down in front of Yang Zhen and asked “Can it be solved?”

Yang Zhen smiled confidently and said, “Just wait and see. In this world, there isn’t a math problem that this genius…this elite student can’t solve!”

Upon hearing this, the Hongluan Spiritual Girl and Xiu’er looked at each other before squatting down to join the others. After watching Yang Zhen for a while, they saw him scratching his ear while drawing.

The rascally cat giggled and derisively said, “Scratching his ear!”

The rooster, upon hearing this, poked its head out from its wing. Looking at

Yang Zhen, it coldly said, “And rubbing his chin!”

“Get lost!” Yang Zhen was enraged. He glared at the two annoying nuisances and then said puzzledly, “Wait… Didn’t they say I was extremely talented? How come I can’t even solve a simple math problem?”

It was too difficult! This damn thing was too difficult!

Yang Zhen felt like he was back in the classroom again, squaring off with a math problem. Suddenly, exclaims of surprise rang from the edge of the Ghost Crossing Gorge.

“These people… They seem to be disciples of the Ancient Inheritance Sect!”

“What? Even the foreign sect disciples have come?”

“It’s them, who’d have thought they’d also come. This Snake Road must be extraordinary to have alarmed them.”

“Who are they?”

Hearing the bubbling chatter around him, everyone-except for Yang Zhen— turned around in surprise.

A group of young practitioners clad in snow-white robes were heading their way, dignified and composed. Their extraordinary demeanor was evident at just a glance.

Especially the man and woman leading the group-they radiated warmth like a spring breeze. Their eyes sparkled brilliantly, reminiscent of the starry sea in the deep night of a snowy mountain.
