Chapter 563: Chapter 7 Researcher System_2
Li Xueqian burst into joy upon hearing the words, as if he had swallowed a tranquilizer pill.
The Dean had affirmed his book!
He was also willing to correct the errors in it.
However, Xueqian couldn’t stay happy for long, because Wang Sheng had already started making corrections.
Thankfully, he had the habit of carrying recording tools, which allowed him to jot down each item.
“Regarding Qi-Blood here, Qi-Blood is not necessarily a destructive attribute, it is essentially a type of energy…”
This exchange lasted half a day.
After half a day, some obvious mistakes had all been corrected, and Li Xueqian had even argued with Wang Sheng a few times.
Had Wang Sheng not convinced him with facts, he might not have made the changes.
Agreeing was one thing, but a person who could write “Scientific Theory” wasn’t one to blindly believe anything without seeing it, even if that person could be considered his mentor.
By the time the revisions were completed, Li Xueqian felt somewhat embarrassed, seldom scratching his head: “Sorry, Dean, I got a bit carried away!”
“It’s nothing; as the Dean of Datong Science Academy, you should indeed be cautious and always remain skeptical,” Wang Sheng felt there was nothing wrong and was quite cheerful.
Li Xueqian, on being admonished this way, appeared rather shy, like a child.
As for himself, he didn’t feel it was a big deal; by age, he was of the grandson’s generation and in terms of cultivation, he was far inferior.
Wang Sheng, however, was somewhat unable to endure it and waved his hand, saying, “There must be more than just flaws in ‘Scientific Theory’ you want to ask about, right?”
Li Xueqian, hearing this, promptly regained his solemnity: “I can’t hide anything from you, Dean.”
“I just saw your ambition. ‘Scientific Theory’ is very instructive and also contains your Dao, similar to the pure path of Spiritual Cultivation, but a completely different path nonetheless, am I right?”
“That’s right, Dean; I have been wondering if it’s possible for a unique Cultivation System exclusively for scientific researchers to emerge. Since such a system has yet to appear, I could only ponder it myself. When I wrote ‘Scientific Theory,’ I finally found a spark of inspiration… but then I couldn’t grasp it later!”
Li Xueqian couldn’t hide the regret in his heart.
Inspiration appears in an instant, but once it disappears, it’s hard to recall.
“Lost inspiration?” Wang Sheng stroked his chin, having read “Scientific Theory” and probably realized something; however, he did not spell it out directly but subtly hinted, “Have you ever thought that, Cultivation is fundamentally a study?”
“Cultivation is fundamentally a study?” Li Xueqian appeared puzzled but soon seemed to realize something.
A brilliant light seemed to emit from his eyes.
That fleeting inspiration seemed to appear again, only this time the ending was different.
He grasped it!
“Yes, Cultivation is indeed a study. Qi Blood Martial Arts studies Qi-Blood, Spiritual Martial Arts studies Spirit, and a series of researchers can study the world, anything that exists can be studied!”
His face flushed with excitement, and it seemed he had thought of something sacred.
The ordinary world seemed to change.
All the laws were in his sight.
Extreme madness birthed the ultimate reason.
Li Xueqian was thrilled, but he was very clear in his heart that such a state was elusive; he frantically drew knowledge from the world.
And the goal was to structure everything.
“Exactly, I explained in ‘Scientific Theory’ that so-called gods are merely powerful cultivators; how could I forget that!”
Upon finishing this sentence, Li Xueqian finally calmed down.
However, in his calm gaze, there was a madness never seen before.
Transformation and enlightenment happened in an instant!
“Many thanks for your teaching, sir!”
He changed the address.
“It’s nothing; you had already realized some things, even without my prompting, you would have understood eventually.”
In Wang Sheng’s view, Li Xueqian’s foundation was already solid, only missing that final push.
But Li Xueqian shook his head: “Though it’s just the final push, without your reminder, sir, who knows how long it would have taken to truly sort it out.”
As the dean of Datong Science Academy, Li Xueqian was well aware of how many people had been stuck at the so-called final step.
Just like a math problem, some students of Datong simply couldn’t grasp math.
Wang Sheng smiled and said, “There’s no need to flatter me now. Since you have already realized what you want, go back and organize it well. I look forward to your results.”
“I won’t disappoint you, sir.” Li Xueqian thanked him again, but as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly turned back and asked, “Sir, do I have a chance to structure a Ninth Realm expert?”
Wang Sheng was surprised to hear this, then he looked at him deeply and said, “It’s not impossible!”
Li Xueqian’s visible joy emerged, and then he left without another word.
He only needed to know there was hope.
With the emergence of the new system, his view of the world had changed.
Huangtian had sent people over and left, and after Li Xueqian left, Wang Sheng was left alone, but the Planet Will was still present.
[What exactly had Li Xueqian, this “Saint,” researched? Why do I feel like he has seen through the world? Not only that, a seemingly gentle person is filled with madness inside.]
Planet Will still understood its own creatures well; it saw through the huge changes in Li Xueqian.
At that moment, it felt like Li Xueqian had seen it!
Wang Sheng didn’t conceal it and said, “It’s simple, he created a new Cultivation System, which could be called the Researcher. In the eyes of researchers, everything is researchable. They don’t revere the powerful, but rather want to know what constitutes a powerful person’s body, how their Qi-Blood differs from ordinary people, and facing the planet, they also want to know how exactly a planet is born… They are the real structurers of rules.”
The Planet Will was somewhat confused.
[So how do they cultivate?]
“Without real cases before, I’m not sure, but I know it definitely involves research. Maybe the deeper they understand the world, the more they deconstruct, the stronger their cultivation becomes. Perhaps they can instantly become powerful from ordinary humans. Of course, the threshold is very high; without talent, there may even be no possibility of entry.”
[The more they deconstruct the world, the stronger their cultivation becomes; won’t they become madmen?]
Planet Will knew well. The true nature of the world, the vastness of the information of the stars—delving into it, one could accidentally turn into a madman.
“Didn’t I say? They have already lost their reverence for the powerful; their pursuit of the world’s laws has surpassed everything. What does it matter if they are mad?”
Wang Sheng also sighed deeply.
Although he had perceived many things, it was only when Li Xueqian truly demonstrated them that he realized he had underestimated this system.
Between genius and madness, there is only a fine line, and Li Xueqian’s system was on that fine line.
If not successful, then be honorable!
Wang Sheng did not stop him.
It was Li Xueqian’s own choice.
And this system had immense potential.
Even Inner Core Skill and Primordial Spirit’s pursuit of the rules could not compare to this path.
If one had to say, they were more like the wizards in a fantasy system pursuing the reality—a group of madmen.
The Researcher System was definitely not inferior to the wizard system.
Different names, but the choice was the same.
“It looks like I need to notify Huangtian. Otherwise, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.”
The Researcher System would definitely come with bloodshed.
But for Datong, which was about to face a war of world invasion, there would certainly not be a lack of important materials.
This was an opportunity!
Wang Sheng was also looking forward to seeing how far this system could go.
And he knew that the Researcher System wasn’t necessarily about researching knowledge unscrupulously; if utilized, its help to the world was also evident.
He was glad to see this development.
“Li Xueqian has made such great progress; I, as a mentor, cannot fall behind. It’s time for cultivation!”
Everything that needed to be done was done; he also needed to close up for cultivation.
And so, time flashed by, and two years passed…
