Chapter 94

On this day, it was the June monthly exam.

The Immortal Academy notified everyone to gather at the drill ground early in the morning. This time, the lineup was not by class but by dormitory, so Wang Qi was next to Wu Fan.

The July sun was already scorching in the early morning. Wang Qi put one hand on his forehead to block the glaring sunlight and looked around: "This is a written exam, right? How are we supposed to write the test papers—what do you think?"

He nudged Wu Fan with his elbow. Wu Fan reluctantly put down his book and looked up. He had heavy dark circles under his eyes and a worried expression: "It must be the magic of the Immortals... Wang Qi, you should review too."

"True scholars never review right before the exam."

"Not everyone is like you! I need to review!"

"If you had listened carefully in class, it would have been fine."

"Wang Qi, you have no right to say that! As far as I know, you were absent for more than half a month..."

"Ahahaha..."

Wang Qi's laughter caused dissatisfaction among the others. He looked around and found that out of ten people nearby, nine were holding books and reviewing, and seven of them looked exhausted, clearly having stayed up all night studying. Wang Qi casually put his arm around Wu Fan's shoulder: "Hey, what's the problem? Let me see."

Wu Fan was startled: "Wang Qi, what are you doing?"

Wang Qi glanced at him sideways: "Don't you trust me?"

Wu Fan's body trembled: "No, no... I trust your abilities, Wang Qi. It's just... everyone is reviewing right before the exam..."

"I don't need to. It's boring to dawdle."

Wu Fan then raised his book and asked Wang Qi for help. Wang Qi didn't hold back and explained everything.

Wang Qi's actions drew the attention of the others. A new disciple standing in front of Wang Qi and Wu Fan sneered: "This brother is really confident, isn't he? Not afraid of being surpassed by others?"

Wang Qi didn't answer him but asked instead: "What, brother, do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

The disciple looked around cautiously and shook his head: "No, no, brother, continue."

The Immortal Alliance promotes mutual assistance. If he said it was completely wrong, it might be reported to the lecturers, causing them to be unhappy.

Wang Qi shook his head and ignored him.

The joy of a true scholar, how can ordinary people understand?

True scholars do not build their happiness on mocking the less capable. Such behavior is not only tasteless and lowers one's status, but it also shows that you only know a little and don't understand the deeper reasons. Those who mock those with worse grades are often half-scholars themselves.

True scholars only find joy in guiding the less capable and exchanging ideas with peers of similar level. Imagine, when you easily solve a problem that the less capable have been struggling with, and you point out the key, they will sincerely say, "So it can be done this way!" Or, when you and a group of scholars work on a difficult problem, and you find the breakthrough first, they will exclaim, "So that's how it is!" The satisfaction of intelligence gained from such experiences is second only to making a discovery or achieving enlightenment!

Wu Fan showed Wang Qi all the problems he hadn't understood recently. He seemed to be mainly reviewing mechanical energy and Newtonian mechanics, which in the神州 (神州 means "神州," a term for China, but in this context, it refers to the world of the story) is called the Way of Primordial Force.

The current course progress at the Immortal Academy is roughly equivalent to high school on Earth. These problems were not difficult, and Wang Qi could quickly provide answers to each question Wu Fan asked.

Seeing that Wang Qi indeed had some skills, several people nearby became interested. Wang Qi didn't explain the problems from start to finish like the lecturers at the Immortal Academy; instead, he pointed out the key points and let Wu Fan solve them himself. As Wu Fan was calculating, someone else asked: "Wang... Senior, can I ask you a few questions?"

Wang Qi patted his chest: "Go ahead."

Several people around him vied to ask questions. Soon, even those standing a bit further away came over.

"Ha ha ha..." At this moment, a sinister laugh came from behind Wang Qi. He was startled and turned around to see a new disciple bowing to him: "Brother Wang, thank you..."

"No, no..." Wang Qi humbly replied while trying to recall who this person was. He seemed to be surnamed Yang, lived not far from him, and had asked him a few questions earlier, now probably thanking him.

But why are you laughing so creepily? Wang Qi muttered to himself: "Strange."

After a while, the exam time arrived. The Immortal Academy lecturer Xiong Mo flew above everyone and shouted: "Silence! Everyone, line up and stand still!"

The crowd around Wang Qi disappeared instantly, and all the new disciples returned to their positions. Xiong Mo continued: "The content and scope of the written exam, I'm sure your lecturers have already told you..."

Wang Qi suddenly remembered that he had mostly been studying ahead with Su Junyu and had missed the "exam preparation" and "key points." He urgently asked Wu Fan: "How exactly is the exam conducted?"

Before Wu Fan could answer, Xiong Mo shouted: "Now! The exam begins!"

Behind Xiong Mo, the Immortal Academy lecturer Yun Xiang held a bronze mirror and flew out. He threw the mirror into the sky, cast a few spells, and the mirror glowed blue, spinning in the air and expanding to the size of a pond. The mirror emitted a white light, covering the entire drill ground.

The scenery in front of Wang Qi changed rapidly. The surrounding crowd disappeared, and he found himself in a pure white world.

"Ten Thousand Immortal Illusionary Realm?" Wang Qi looked at his hands and clapped them together.

The sensation of his hands was exactly the same as in reality. Was this constructed in the brain based on physical sensations, or was it a feature of the Ten Thousand Immortal Illusionary Realm? Or did the Ten Thousand Immortal Illusionary Realm only cover his vision and hearing?

Using the Ten Thousand Immortal Illusionary Realm for the exam was something Wang Qi hadn't expected. The principles of the Way here were slightly inferior to Earth's scientific theories, which made him subconsciously think that at least in civilian items, Earth was still superior. He had forgotten that the physical laws of the two worlds were different, and thus their technological trees were also different. In the神州 (神州, the world of the story), personal digital products were not yet widespread, but augmented reality technology was already quite mature, far surpassing Earth.

At this moment, ink-style calligraphy and paintings appeared in front of Wang Qi, and a brush pen appeared in his hand.

"As shown in the figure, there are two blocks, A and B, with masses of 2 units and 1 unit, respectively, resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between A and B is... The coefficient of kinetic friction between B and the ground is... The gravitational constant is set to 1 unit... Now, a horizontal force is applied to A, then..."

The exam began!
