Long Live Summons-Chapter 869 Witnessing History; Witnessing Miracles
Chapter 869: Witnessing History; Witnessing Miracles
After taking a break with the fair-skinned beauty, Yue Yang has been rid of all his exhaustion. He was now full of energy as he continued embarking on his journey throughout the Beast Valley.
In the Beast Valley, Stone Pushing Field.
The third test was not the same as the first two. In fact, it is known to be a very difficult test. Although it was nothing like the previous tests of the Spirit Beast Great Hall and the Battle-Beast Shells, it was easily considered life-threatening. Here, there was no time limit, but this Stone Pushing Field could be regarded as the most difficult test for the beasts. This was because this test site in particular, gave trials that revolved around the beast’s wisdom and intelligence. No matter how powerful the beast was, it would be impossible to pass if it lacked the appropriate amount of wisdom.
In fact, there were many instances where the master who waited outside collectively calculated along with their beasts in order to find the correct answer.
There were even beasts who were too dense and lacked too much intelligence that they weren;t able to pass the test because they couldn’t follow instructions well enough!
The reason lies in the execution of the answer. Without wisdom, even the most fundamentally correct execution cannot be done!
In the Stone Pushing Field, the most difficult test that was collectively and mutually agreed upon was none other than this ‘stone Pushing’ test.
Precisely because of this, the challengers have granted the name ‘Stone Pushing Field’ for the third test site!
If there was a question like ‘You can collect one piece of gold a day and the amount would double up the next day. How much gold can be collected in a month?’, it would take a fool to figure it out for a long time. Then, something like ‘Fire and wind multiplied by water and earth would be fire wind water earth; wind and earth multiplied by water and fire would be wind earth water fire. If that is the case, how much would wind fire water earth be?’ would take ages for both beast and master to calculate an answer for. They would try to calculate the sums to the point where hope would slip away gradually. This would be because they didn’t understand the formula or they didn’t have enough wisdom.
In front of these topics, one could only sigh.
Even challengers who have passed the previous tests had no choice but to go back empty-handed when they were up against this odd and unique challenge.
There were also relatively easy tests in the Stone Pushing Field. For example, ‘a certain number multiplied by eight and then plus nine is equal to 987654321. What is this number?’ This was a simple test, but even passing this test would grant the beast a minimum intelligence evaluation and would not offer it any rewards.
To be rewarded, the beast must challenge the Ten Major Questions.
Among them, the four-elements question just now was the simplest one of the Ten Major Questions. Some challengers have managed to calculate it as they passed the level, but it has never been made public, remaining a well-kept secret of the Beast Valley for thousands of years.
Among the Ten Major Questions, the most difficult one was the Stone Pushing question!
Its topic seemed very simple on the surface. Give the beast 20 cobblestones. The beast has to push and arrange every four cobblestones in a straight line. At least 20 stones must be placed out of 16 rows. 16 lines were the basic requirement. If 18 lines were arranged, then the reward of the Beast Valley Law would be doubled. If 20 lines could be arranged, the reward of the Beast Valley Law will be the spiritual enlightenment of the ‘Light of Wisdom’. Lastly, if more than 20 lines could be arranged, the reward will be the spiritual enlightenment of the ‘Glorious Light of the God’. The only problem was that no one in the history of the Beast Valley has ever managed to obtain the final tempting reward.
Like the Battle-Beast Shells in the second level, this Stone Pushing test has become a dead end for thousands of years.
Anyone could attempt the test at any time.
There was no penalty for failure, nor would there be any form of fatal punishment. Despite that fact, no one has been able to achieve success.
“Don’t worry about pushing the stone, there is no limit to that. We can try to challenge other things first, such as ‘doubling the amount of gold question’ because I know the answer,” Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel were the two most excited witnesses. In fact, it wasn’t just them, but many beasts who have watched Yue Yang perform better than the previous challengers at the Battle-beast Shells by breaking a record that hasn’t been broken for hundreds of thousands of years, also surrounded the Stone Pushing Field, hoping to be the first to receive the good news.
“I think I’ll just let her try it out alone!” Student Yue Yang smiled slightly. He didn’t accept Ryoma’s kindness and instead, opted for the Reaper Mantis to take the test herself.
“Mhmm!”
The Reaper Mantis knew that the owner had the ‘answers’ from the Human-Faced Tiger, but she didn’t look at it.
Instead, she accessed her own wisdom to try to think and calculate.
Collect one gold a day and it doubles the next day. How much gold will you receive one month later? The Reaper Mantis picked up a dead branch with her small hand and gently counted it on the ground.
In the beginning, her calculation speed was very fast, which made many of the monsters and residents feel ashamed as they watched her.
Gradually, her calculations slowed down. In order to be accurate, she carefully checked the calculations to prevent errors. She didn’t want one error in her calculations to consolidate the next. She had learned this kind of calculation by the sidelines from Yue Yang when he taught Yue Bing, Yue Shuang and the others. At that time she wasn’t really intelligent enough, so all she did was blatantly memorise his words until she got to a level of wisdom that could gradually interpret his methods.
After ten minutes or so, she finally got the real answer.
In order to ensure a pass on the first try, the Reaper Mantis checked the calculation backwards once more.
Finally, she looked at Yue Yang. Under his smiling gaze, she flew into the Pushing Stone Field, approached the test monument and pushed the round stones as 53680912.
The test monument immediately flashed a bright light, indicating that the answer to this question was correct and the challenger had passed the test. There was thunderous applause that broke out in the audience. Some of the beasts who had stayed outside were both excited and impatient at the same time. They couldn’t see the answer from outside, and they couldn’t understand the way the Reaper Mantis had calculated on the ground. They had to applaud vigorously while looking around, hoping someone would know about the answers to ease the regrets in the hearts of these failed challengers. Those who knew of the answers however, groaned in pride. Who would just announce the answers for the likes of you? If you were such a big shot, try solving it yourself!
The successful completion of the first question greatly encouraged the Reaper Mantis.
If it weren’t for her being cautious, she estimated that she would be able to figure out the answer in five minutes. However, her results weren’t too bad either.
There were so many former challengers around her. They knew of this question regardless of whether they completed this test successfully or not, and they knew that it wasn’t a very easy question to solve either. According to a certain someone, a challenger had used 100 years to successfully accumulate the numbers by using the most basic superposition methods.
The difference between their levels of wisdom was the variation between 100 years and ten minutes.
Although not everyone had to spend 100 years, they were beasts. In the entire Beast Valley, the number of beasts who actually didn’t require their masters to aid in figuring out this question could be counted in one hand!
“Let’s work hard!” The Reaper Mantis who successfully took the first step clenched her small fist excitedly.
The rest of the morning was her moment to shine.
One by one, the questions that were even unable to be answered by the residents of the Beast Valley were all successfully calculated by her. With her efforts, the problems have been solved one after another. The onlookers of both beasts and residents broke into a thunderous applause whenever she solved a question. Towards the very end, they even hyped her up and shouted frantically to make her energetic!
Solving simple questions was no longer the goal of the Reaper Mantis. Now, what she really wanted to go against was the Ten Major Problems!
Throughout the ages, countless challengers have been stuck at the ‘Wind Fire Water Earth’ question. After two hours of thinking and calculations, the Reaper Mantis had finally obtained the answer.
She flew into the test monument. Soon after, the others saw a golden light rising up into the sky for a long time. This was a special vision that would appear upon the completion of one of the Ten Major Problems. The audience, who originally thought that this little thing would be frustrated by the question, had a new surge of respect towards her. Wind Fire Water Earth— among the residents of Beast Valley, one million gold was offered to anyone who could solve it. However, it was rather a pity that those who know of the answer would never agree to sell it. Who would have thought that without the need of the owner’s help, and just solely relying on the efforts of the Battle Beast itself, one could successfully solve one of the Ten Major Problems that even the elites of the challengers could not successfully solve? Although it is a Holy Beast, this little one is way too intelligent, isn’t she?
“Woohoo!” The Reaper Mantis flew out and threw herself into Yue Yang’s arms, crying with joy.
The more she used her intelligence for the test, the faster she felt that her brain power improved.
This was an invisible growth.
When she recalled Yue Yang’s usual teachings and remembered that she could break through the most difficult things just now, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. It wasn’t really due to her wisdom levels, but it relied mostly on her master’s teaching and nurturing. Outsiders may not understand, but she knew clearer than anyone how much her master had contributed to her success!
The said ‘master’ stretched out his hand and stroked her little head, “Be good, don’t cry, you have done a good job. These tests are actually nothing much either. If it was not for a lack of time, I fully believe that you can complete them all.”
If Yue Yang didn’t show his abnormal ability in the Battle-Beast Shell test, they would have started to ‘boo’ him insanely!
The Ten Major Problems were simple?
If these are simple tests, then there would be nothing difficult in the world!
However, for a crazy person who could pass all levels of the Battle-Beast Shells in one go, no one amongst the onlookers dared to question his words.
This kid is an evildoer. Maybe for him, the Ten Major Problems are considered very simple… Although they didn’t fully believe it, the onlookers and residents did not dare object as all of them silently proceeded to watch. Only Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel, as well as the silently gazing Poisonous Queen Bee, have the strongest confidence in Yue Yang. The three believed that Yue Yang would never brag about this kind of thing. He only said so because he was 100% sure that he was able to do so.
“Memorise the questions and do them slowly in the future. Now, there is not much time left. Let’s try to get this done by the afternoon because there will be a special training plan in the evening!” Yue Yang stood up and stretched.
He sent a secret order to the Reaper Mantis.
The Reaper Mantis was completely puzzled, but as soon as she flew into the Pushing Stone Field and arrived at the test monument, she placed the correct answer according to Yue Yang’s request. As a result, a flash of golden light was illuminated towards the sky!
After she flew back, Yue Yang issued a second secret order as if he didn’t need any thought at all.
Another golden light rose ahead. Everyone looked at Yue Yang as if they had seen an actual monster.
They had seen their fair shares of insane people, but they really hadn’t seen someone with this level of insanity before!
The Ten Major Problems were easier to solve than him eating beans. The onlookers found that if there wasn’t a time difference between the Reaper Mantis flying out and in, this kid could even answer everything at once and illuminate all ten lights in one go. It would have been slightly acceptable had he calculated in the morning, but this kid has been sleeping all day. Even the Ten Major Questions were recited to him by Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel not long ago.
What kind of brain and intelligence was required to reach this state?
Was he still human?
He is simply a God!
No, he may be even more demonic than the legendary God!
If possible, the onlookers really wanted to open up Yue Yang’s head to see if the structure inside was different from others.
It’s okay to have a gap in intelligence, but it can’t be that far, right? If that was the case, what would become of the people who proclaimed themselves as ‘intelligent’ all this time? This kind of defeat in IQ would be a permanent blow to their mentality. Even an entire lifetime of living in the shadows wouldn’t be able to lessen the embarrassment!
“I… I respect you completely…” The Eagle King had tears streaming down his face. Comparison was really a pain in the neck. It was already a blow if the beast was intelligent, but her master was even smarter— how was anyone going to survive after knowing so?
“Hurray!” Ryoma and the Sickle Weasel were so excited to the point that they almost fainted. They decided to break through the Beast Valley with this young man. They have never been so lucky nor have they ever been correct in their judgements throughout their entire lives!
Only the Poisonous Queen Bee remained slightly calmer than most.
Without revealing the close relationship between her and Yue Yang, she had also watched all this scene play out deliberately coldly.
The other monsters and residents were already frantic and shouted together, “Pushing Stone, Pushing Stone, Pushing Stone, Pushing Stone…” Yue Yang smiled confidently, his grin as bright as sunshine.
All the beasts or residents who saw this smile became riled up. At this moment, no one saw Yue Yang as an enemy, and instead, there was pride in their hearts. Everyone was moved after seeing him break an unprecedented record. They knew they weren’t able to break the records themselves, but that was fine, because they were able to see someone break it in front of their eyes personally.
The young man who was about to break the ancient record stood in front of them.
Yue Yang raised his hand and the audience became silent.
Everyone was holding their breath.
Afraid that a slight breath will destroy the whole process of pushing the stone.
Obtaining Yue Yang’s secret order, the small face of the Reaper Mantis was shining with excitement as she deliberately flew three more times to barely vent the excitement in her heart. When she glided down beautifully, she pulled the twenty round stones into place mysteriously, arranging them into a wonderful pattern. Immediately, the entire Stone Pushing Field burst into a golden light. However, it wasn’t over yet. Under Yue Yang’s order, the reaper Mantis continued to arrange the cobblestones.
Following the completion of the pattern of 16 rows, the wonderful patterns of 18 rows were displayed in the Stone Pushing Field. For the second time, golden light overflowed the entire Stone Pushing Field.
“Twenty lines, twenty lines!”
Everyone was roaring in glee, hoping that Yue Yang would continue and break the unbreakable record. They wanted him to put out a pattern of twenty lines and achieve the reward of the Light of Wisdom! Yue Yang raised his hand, and the commotion of all the onlookers immediately the cut of a knife, silenced with a slash. Even the excitement gasps were firmly suppressed. Everyone was waiting as they watched Yue Yang’s hands. Under his guidance, another one of the so-called unbreakable records will turn into dust and become history!
Witnessing history being made; witnessing miracles. These weren’t only accomplished once, but they were done both yesterday and today. Perhaps, there would be a chance for them to witness the miracles of this young man one more time tomorrow.
