40: Chapter 40: The Grandmaster of Metaphysics' Evaluation, Xiaoyu Displays Her Divine Power

Kyoto. Inside a study within a classic Chinese-style villa.

Under the light, an old man wearing a gray Zhongshan suit with neatly combed hair sat upright.

He was the metaphysics titan mentioned by Professor Chen Runzhi: Wang Chongyang!

In the last century, he was invited by the authorities to calculate the future direction of the Xia Kingdom.

Later, he obtained the AI hexagram and the internet hexagram.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was because of his hexagrams and dedication that the world's science advanced by a small step!

Otherwise, the authorities would have completely ignored these future development directions!

On the tablet computer on the desk, the video sent by his disciple was playing on a loop.

In the video screen, that handsome young man, Jiang Zhe, was explaining the connection between fortune-telling and the universe in a calm and firm tone.

When he finally mentioned the universal database and the reading of data, Wang Chongyang's face was filled with gravity.

He showed no contempt, but rather a gaze full of scrutiny and focus.

His eyes were at times puzzled, at times amazed.

After a long while!

"Incredible!"

Based on his level after decades of studying metaphysics, Jiang Zhe's remarks in the video were indeed of the unconventional type.

He simplified the mysterious metaphysics, or even physicalized and mathematicalized it into a technical behavior that humans could replicate.

This indeed contradicted the heaven-human resonance of their metaphysics!

Wang Chongyang rested his chin on his hand, his expression very serious.

"However, that part about the 37218 hexagram..."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Shunfeng Shunshui deliberately making things difficult for him, using birth dates combined with other numbers."

"And his use of the Six Lines and hexagram judgments was terrifyingly precise!"

"He is a very professional person, especially when interpreting the Mountain Fire Bi and Wind Fire Family hexagrams; it completely matched the digital information provided by Shunfeng Shunshui."

"This doesn't look like a simple scripted performance!"

In his understanding, the five numbers 37218 couldn't actually calculate anything.

There wasn't even a basic birth date; it was completely a random combination of numbers.

Magic couldn't explain it, and traditional Zhouyi classics couldn't explain it either.

It gave him the feeling that—Jiang Zhe was not fortune-telling, but using [Causal Determinism] to calculate what happened to Shunfeng Shunshui a few days ago and what would happen tomorrow.

He turned off the video.

He closed his eyes, his thoughts racing.

"He is not following our path."

"Instead, he is completely instrumentalizing, popularizing, and mechanizing the Zhouyi."

"Even embedding it into the framework of contemporary science."

Wang Chongyang's eyes grew solemn.

"Was this done by one person, or a group of people?"

"The key lies in... that thick stack of blue books he has!"

Even he could not make a definitive judgment.

Jiang Zhe's theoretical system was new and shocking.

But the logic of the content did indeed link destiny with mathematics.

Even he, a titan of metaphysics, could not give a reasonable interpretation!

After pondering for a long time, he took out his phone and sent a message to his disciple [Meditating Three Hours Daily].

"He was secretly live-streaming, right?"

[Yes, Teacher; but there are also suspicions that it is a script.]

"What time does he start his live stream tomorrow, or rather, when does his sister secretly film him?"

[Probably in the evening, after dinner.]

"Understood. Notify your Senior Brother and Third Junior Sister to come to my villa tomorrow."

He decided to summon a few of his prized disciples to study it together.

And the suddenly emerged Jiang Zhe, although walking the path of a live stream for the general public, was indeed worthy of his attention!

At this moment, the heated discussion on the internet had not faded due to the late night.

Posts about the universal database and whether fortune-telling is science or metaphysics appeared across major networks.

Countless analysis posts and shock posts emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after rain.

Some fanatical fans believed Jiang Zhe was a [Prophet].

Others remained skeptical.

But more netizens believed that this was a carefully planned marketing gimmick wrapped in the guise of science!

The next morning, the warm sun spilled over the streets of Jiangcheng.

Due to her abundant energy, Jiang Xiaoyu did not choose to take a car to school, but chose to jog!

Carrying a white shoulder bag, she jogged all the way to the traffic light.

Her mind was still thinking about the hundreds of thousands in tips in the live stream that hadn't been withdrawn, as well as her brother's subversive remarks.

Even while walking and running, she was somewhat distracted.

Suddenly! Her peripheral vision caught a young man with messy hair sprinting toward a red truck.

"What... is he doing?"

As soon as this thought emerged, she got an answer: [Suicide]!

Without even thinking, her body led her mind as she rushed out.

"Get out of my way!"

She pushed through the crowded crowd, yelling loudly.

Then her legs exerted force, and her whole body rushed out like a cheetah.

The speed was extremely fast, creating a cold wind in the crowd; even she was startled by the speed for a moment.

Amidst the confusion and exclamations of the surrounding people and the emergency braking of various drivers, Jiang Xiaoyu instantly covered a distance of seven or eight meters.

Directly, a girl's flying kick!

She kicked the man's lower back on the spot.

"Whoosh~" With a sound.

The young man was kicked flying by Jiang Xiaoyu's powerful kick.

He rolled wretchedly into the bushes on the opposite side of the road, barely avoiding being run over by the red truck.

"Kid!"

Jiang Xiaoyu spat out coolly, "In front of this goddess, no one can die in front of me!"

At this moment, the road was silent!

All the passersby, cyclists, electric scooter riders, and private car drivers were staring blankly at...

Jiang Xiaoyu, who hadn't yet lowered her raised leg!

That power, that speed, could it really be possessed by a weak little girl?

Even she herself was stunned.

Looking at her own powerful white legs, her heart pounded faster!

"Am I already this strong?"

"Is it an illusion? No, it isn't. It seems like my legs have suddenly been exercised for two and a half years."

"Oh my god, am I a one-in-a-billion Super Girl?"

The decadent man who was kicked into the bushes stared blankly for a moment, then his eyes showed worship and fanaticism.

So cool! I love it, I love it, I don't want to die anymore!

Carrying a belly full of doubts and excitement, Jiang Xiaoyu finally arrived at school.

Just like usual, morning self-study, handing in homework.

Wearing black-framed glasses, with somewhat high cheekbones, a crying face, and a somewhat fat middle-aged homeroom teacher: Mr. Li.

He began to check the homework.

Everyone else handed in their test papers with tired faces.

It could be seen that the students were very tired, under a lot of pressure, and hadn't slept well.

When checking Jiang Xiaoyu, Mr. Li looked at the eight blank test papers without a single word written on them...

His face was terrifyingly gloomy!

He picked up the eight test papers with resentment and tore them up on the spot.

"Jiang Xiaoyu, where is your homework? Why is it all blank? Do you not want to study anymore?"

"If you don't want to study, you can get lost now!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole class's hearts trembled, and they all looked at Jiang Xiaoyu in disbelief.

If it were normal, Jiang Xiaoyu would have been scared to death.

Now that Jiang Xiaoyu had money, confidence, and a way out.

Crucially, she also had an inexplicable physical fitness.

She wasn't afraid of this threatening talk.

"Old geezer, I've had enough of you!"

She immediately stood up, crossed her arms, and lowered her head to say: "I won't get lost, what can you do to me?"

As soon as the words fell, the whole class was shocked, and even the homeroom teacher was stunned.
