I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 255: Solving the Problem of Jing Mansion

Master Mo's calm voice echoed in the silent hall, but it was like thunder, shocking everyone present. Time's up!

Ren Xiaoyao turned a deaf ear to the words, his entire mind immersed in the problem before him, as if cut off from the outside world. His fingers tightly gripped the pen, the tip sliding rapidly across the paper, making a rustling sound, as if playing a tense piece of music.

The contemptuous smile on Senior Brother Yun's face gradually froze. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao's focused expression, and a sudden sense of unease rose in his heart. Could this kid really have found a solution? Impossible! This problem is an eternal puzzle that has troubled countless sages. How could he possibly solve it?

Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat seeped out of Ren Xiaoyao's forehead, but he didn't bother to wipe them off. His brain was working at high speed, recalling all the knowledge he had learned before and after the time travel, integrating them, trying to find the key to solve this difficult problem.

He thought of the advanced mathematics and physics he had learned in college in his previous life, and of the formations, weapon refining, talismans, etc. he had learned in this world. These seemingly unrelated pieces of knowledge were now intertwined in his mind, colliding to create dazzling sparks.

"Yin and Yang complement each other, the five elements restrain each other, and the way of formation lies in borrowing the power of heaven and earth..." Ren Xiaoyao muttered to himself, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, as if he saw a whole new world.

The pen in his hand suddenly stopped and he fell into deep thought. The students around him saw this scene and whispered to each other.

"Why did you stop? Did you give up?"

"I told you, there's no way this problem can be solved. He must be trying to be mysterious!"

"Oh, what a waste of time! I might as well give up!"

Junior Sister Su looked at Ren Xiaoyao worriedly. She wanted to go up and comfort him, but she didn't dare to disturb his thoughts. She could only pray for him silently in her heart.

Xia Lin's eyes never left Ren Xiaoyao. She saw the struggle and persistence in his eyes, and also saw the strong self-confidence emanating from him. She believed that he could do it!

Suddenly, Ren Xiaoyao raised his head abruptly, and an unprecedented light burst out in his eyes. He stared closely at the test paper in front of him, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I see..." He murmured softly, his tone filled with excitement and agitation, "I understand!"

Everyone held their breath at that moment, their eyes fixed on Ren Xiaoyao. He took a deep breath and picked up his pen again...

Ren Xiaoyao's pen tip seemed to be imbued with life, dancing swiftly across the paper. Lines of clear handwriting leaped onto the page, as if narrating some profound truth. He wrote with a divine touch, his thoughts clear and flowing, without a single pause or hesitation.

The students around him initially held out a glimmer of hope for Ren Xiaoyao, but as time went on, the hope in their eyes gradually turned into disappointment. This was because they found that they could not understand what Ren Xiaoyao wrote at all! Those complex symbols and formulas were like incomprehensible books to them.

"What is he writing? Why does it feel like he's just doodling?"

"I think he's probably just giving up on himself and writing this nonsense on purpose to save himself."

"Oh, what a pity! I thought he could perform a miracle."

Senior Brother Yun looked at Ren Xiaoyao's focused expression and sneered in his heart. He had long seen that Ren Xiaoyao was deliberately playing tricks, and now the time had come to see how he would end it.

"Time's up!" Master Mo announced again, his voice majestic and loud.

Ren Xiaoyao put down the pen in his hand, breathed a long sigh of relief, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He knew that he had succeeded!

"Master, I have finished." Ren Xiaoyao stood up and handed the paper filled with answers to Master Mo with both hands.

"Hahaha..." Senior Brother Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing. Pointing at Ren Xiaoyao, he said, "Master, look at what he wrote! It's complete nonsense! I don't think he's seriously trying to solve the problem. He's deliberately wasting everyone's time!"

The other students also echoed and cast contemptuous glances at Ren Xiaoyao.

Junior Sister Su looked at Ren Xiaoyao worriedly. She didn’t know whether what he wrote was correct, but she believed that he must have tried his best.

Xia Lin remained silent the entire time. She stared at Ren Xiaoyao firmly, her heart full of trust and expectation.

Ren Xiaoyao ignored Senior Brother Yun's ridicule and stood there calmly, waiting for Master Mo's judgment. He knew that facts spoke louder than words, and as long as Master Mo read his answer, everything would naturally become clear.

Master Mo took Ren Xiaoyao's answer and frowned slightly. He found that the solution method used by Ren Xiaoyao was completely different from what he knew!

"Could it be..." Master Mo's heart moved, and he began to read Ren Xiaoyao's answer carefully.

Seeing how serious Master Mo was, the students around him couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in their hearts. Could it be that Ren Xiaoyao had really solved this eternal problem?

Time passed minute by minute, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for Master Mo's final verdict.

Master Mo read Ren Xiaoyao's answer carefully, his expression constantly changing, from confusion at first, to surprise, and finally shock...

"This..." Master Mo pointed at one of the spots and asked in disbelief, "How did you come up with this method?"

Master Mo pointed to one of the answers, his voice trembling. "How did you come up with this method? This is the 'Tian Yuan Qi Ju' that no one has been able to solve for hundreds of years. How did you come up with the idea of combining 'reverse deduction' with 'astronomical changes' to solve it?"

Ren Xiaoyao smiled faintly and said, "Master, I was just browsing through ancient books and found that there seemed to be a connection between the changes in the stars and the mysteries of the formation. I had an idea and tried to combine the two. I didn't expect that I would actually solve this problem by accident."

His tone was calm, as if he had just done something insignificant, but to everyone's ears, it was like thunder out of the blue.

"I see, I see!" Master Mo paced back and forth excitedly, looking at Ren Xiaoyao with eyes full of admiration. "Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Your approach to solving the problem is unheard of and unseen, yet so ingenious and incomparable. It's truly astonishing!"

When the students around heard Master Mo's comments, they all gathered around, wanting to see Ren Xiaoyao's answer.

"Let me see, let me see!"

"Did Ren Xiaoyao really figure this out? This is incredible!"

"Oh my god, how on earth did he come up with that? He's a genius!"

When they saw Ren Xiaoyao's answer, they all showed admiration. Those students who had originally laughed at Ren Xiaoyao were now ashamed and wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Senior Brother Yun looked at Ren Xiaoyao, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a dark face. He had wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Ren Xiaoyao, but he didn't expect that it would help him, allowing him to steal the show in front of everyone.

Junior Sister Su looked at Ren Xiaoyao with admiration, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and thought to herself, "Brother Xiaoyao is so amazing!"

Xia Lin was also happy for Ren Xiaoyao. She knew that Ren Xiaoyao's talent was far more than that and he would definitely achieve greater success in the future.

Master Mo pressed his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he said loudly, "Ren Xiaoyao, today you have solved the 'Tian Yuan Qi Jue' that has puzzled the world for hundreds of years. Congratulations! I have decided to print your answer into a book for the students of the academy to learn from!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar again.

What an honor it is to be able to print out your answers in a book for future generations to learn from!

Ren Xiaoyao simply bowed modestly to Master Mo and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. I am truly unworthy of it."

Master Mo patted Ren Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiaoyao, you are talented and hardworking. In time, you will become a great man! I hope you will continue to work hard and don't let your talent go to waste!"

“Students, please remember Master’s teachings!”

After the crowd dispersed, Senior Brother Yun walked up to Ren Xiaoyao and said with a forced smile, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Ren. I didn't expect you to have some real skills. It seems I underestimated you before."

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at him calmly and said, "Brother Yun, you're too kind. It was just a fluke."

Senior Brother Yun snorted coldly, turned around and left. As he passed by Ren Xiaoyao, he whispered, "Don't be so complacent. In the martial arts arena, I will definitely let you see how powerful I am!"

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Senior Brother Yun's departing figure, a sneer curling up at the corner of his mouth. Ren Xiaoyao ignored Senior Brother Yun's provocation and walked straight towards Xia Lin, saying with a smile, "Let's go."

Charlene nodded slightly, and the two of them left the school side by side, leaving behind those envious, jealous, and admiring gazes intertwined behind them.

Along the way, students kept casting curious glances at Ren Xiaoyao, and some bolder girls even secretly talked about him, their faces flushed with shyness. Ren Xiaoyao saw all of this, but he didn't take it to heart. He just wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible and gain a firm foothold in this world as soon as possible.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you were so awesome today! Even Master Mo praised you highly!" Junior Sister Su appeared out of nowhere and ran to Ren Xiaoyao with excitement on her face, her big eyes full of admiration.

"It was just luck." Ren Xiaoyao said modestly.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you're too modest. This isn't something you can achieve by luck!" Junior Sister Su shook Ren Xiaoyao's arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Xiaoyao, can you teach me? I want to be as good as you!"

"This..." Ren Xiaoyao was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to be too ostentatious and just wanted to practice in a low-key manner.

“Brother Xiaoyao…” Seeing Ren Xiaoyao hesitate, Junior Sister Su pulled Xia Lin to act coquettishly, “Sister Xia Lin, please also help me put in a good word!”

Xia Lin smiled helplessly and said to Ren Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, please give Junior Sister Su some pointers. She's talented, but she just needs some guidance."

"Okay." Ren Xiaoyao couldn't persuade them, so he had to agree.

The three of them came to a secluded forest, and Ren Xiaoyao began to explain the ideas and methods of solving the problem. Junior Sister Su listened very carefully and asked some questions from time to time. Ren Xiaoyao answered her patiently and carefully.

As the sun sets, the figures of the three people appear particularly slender.

In the distance, Senior Brother Yun was hiding behind a big tree, staring at Ren Xiaoyao with a cold gaze, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"Ren Xiaoyao, don't be so complacent! Tomorrow in the martial arts arena, I will let you know what true strength is!" Senior Brother Yun said gritting his teeth, with a resentful gleam in his eyes.

As night fell, the school gradually became quiet.

Ren Xiaoyao sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the spiritual energy in his body and consolidating his insights of the day.

Suddenly, he felt a fierce murderous aura coming from outside the window. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Who?!"
