Chapter 33 (2/2)
“Let’s see if I can turn to page three…”
Shen Zhe tried to look at the third pace of the notebook since he had a third pencil.
The page was stuck and couldn’t be turned at all.
After multiple failed attempts, Shen Zhe gave up trying and continued consolidating his cultivation.
…
The crescent moon was rising. It was already dark.
“Creak!” A door was opened.
“Mr. Geng, I didn’t know it was your turn to watch over the Hall of Laws. I would’ve come this afternoon if I had known…”
Bai Yu entered the room after putting down the umbrella with a smile.
“It’s already late. What has brought you here, Ms. Bai?” Geng Xing looked at her in confusion.
The Hall of Laws kept the most detailed findings and theorems on the continent. Generally speaking, only Mages were qualified to protect it.
“I would like to search for several Mages!” said Ms. Bai Yu.
“Did they leave findings or theorems behind?” Geng Xing frowned.
While the names and deeds of countless Mages were stored there, those who hadn’t left any worthy findings had been forgotten.
Just like the countless scientists in the history of Earth, few of them were remembered and their stories sung like Newton or Einstein.
“I think so… I saw someone use their theorems, but I’m not sure!”
Bai Yu smiled.
Too many Mages had left findings and theorems. Most people could only remember the common formulas and weren’t aware of the less popular ones.
“You should be able to find them if that’s the case! Tell me their names and I’ll search for them!”
Geng Xing smiled.
He wouldn’t refuse to help a colleague as it wasn’t much trouble for him at all.
“Their names are… Ampere, Tesla, Einstein and Newton!” said Ms. Bai.
She carefully recalled Shen Zhe’s answer in the afternoon.
Although his answer was incorrect, he had written those names clearly. Was it possible that he had calculated the precise time through the formulas and theorems that those people left behind?
She found no answers after searching in the library for a whole afternoon. She went there after running out of choices.
“Tesla? Einstein?” Geng Xing frowned.
“Were they names at all?”
“Please have a try!” Ms. Bai blushed.
She didn’t know why she was interested in what a bad student wrote. Maybe it was because of his identical answer the day before, or his graceful and casual interpretation that day.
Nodding his head, Geng Xing stepped to the other side of the room, which was a gigantic and chilling wall made of white jade.
“Ampere!”
He pointed his finger at the wall, casting a streak of brightness to it.
It was magic!
BOOM!
The white jade trembled. Then, something magnificent and overwhelming bounced back from the wall.
Pu!
Geng Xing’s face was flushed as he was forced back. He abruptly spewed blood.
“What’s going on?”
Ms. Bai hurried to approach him and give him a hand.
“This Ampere is either unimaginably strong or has someone who is covering up for him. I am too weak to…”
Intense awe and fear oozed from Geng Xing’s eyes as he breathed hard.
“…to inquire his name!”
