After Li Zetian completed this difficult math problem, he immediately disappeared from the crowd.

And at this moment, the University of Hong Kong students gathered around the blackboard looked exceptionally shocked!

“Brilliant!Full novel: Giant of the Era — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Simply indescribably brilliant!!!

How come I didn’t think there could be such a clever way to solve the problem?

It’s really too amazing!

Oh, by the way, there are several places here that I can’t understand no matter how I look at them.

Did any of you understand them?” A student asked, pointing to a certain spot on the blackboard.

The crowd shook their heads one after another: “I don’t understand either…”

A senior from the math department who was about to graduate looked at the blackboard, rested his chin on his left hand in deep thought, and muttered on one side: “The fact that we can’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Although that person is young, his approach to solving the problem is so novel, and his mastery and application of mathematical theory and mathematical formulas are surprisingly so skillful.

It can be called ‘the ingenuity of application lies within one’s heart!’ This problem has been placed at the entrance of the library for a week, but still no one has been able to solve it.

But he used just a few short minutes to complete this problem.

I must say, he must be a mathematical genius rarely seen in a century!!!”

“Oh my god!

To think that the poor and backward mainland China has this kind of genius, it’s really surprising!!!”

“Do you guys know who this math genius from the mainland is?”

The crowd shook their heads again.

“By the way, wasn’t that person talking to our school’s librarian just now?

Does the librarian know nothing about him?” someone in the crowd said.

At this time, everyone involuntarily shifted their gaze to the librarian.

The librarian immediately felt his face burning hot, as if on fire.

He had just covertly mocked the other party for not being able to get into the University of Hong Kong, and in the next moment, the other party slapped him hard in the face, actually completing a mathematical problem that all the students in the University of Hong Kong couldn’t complete!

“I…

I don’t know anything about him either.

I only know he came to the library wanting to look up some information…” the librarian stammered.

“You didn’t let him in?”

“No…”

“You actually didn’t!!!

Oh, shit, this person is so young, yet his mathematical talent is so outstanding.

Maybe in the future he will become a great mathematician like Hua Luogeng or Gauss!

He just came to the library to look up some information, but we ruthlessly shut him out!

If this matter spreads out, it will undoubtedly bring tremendous shame to our University of Hong Kong!!!”

“Look over there, Professor Zhou is here!”

Not far away, an old man in his sixties, with gray hair, wearing black-framed glasses and an old-fashioned grayish-white suit walked over.

At the same time, a large group of people followed behind him.

“Hello, Professor Zhou!” Everyone greeted the old man one after another.

Professor Zhou nodded and went straight to the blackboard.

In an instant, his gaze was attracted by the problem-solving formulas on it.

Whenever he saw a subtle and brilliant part, he couldn’t help but look full of excitement, with a strange splendor rippling in his eyes.

“Well answered, brilliantly answered!

There are even some places in it that even I somewhat can’t understand, but the final answer is completely correct!!!”

Professor Zhou looked around and asked loudly: “Who solved this problem?

Which class is he from?”

Everyone shook their heads and replied one after another: “He is not from our school!”

“Not from our school?

Then how old is he?”

“He looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old!”

Hearing this, Professor Zhou was immediately dumbfounded.

To be able to solve such a mathematical problem at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was simply a mathematical genius!

“Where is the person?” Professor Zhou asked hastily.

“He just left not long ago!”

“Then you guys quickly go look for him, just say that I am willing to take him as a student!”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be full of envy.

Professor Zhou was the most authoritative professor in the math department of the University of Hong Kong.

Even multiple Ivy League schools in the United States vied to hire him, such as Harvard University and Stanford University, but Professor Zhou was just unwilling to go.

…

…

Mathematics developed from 1973 to 2016 and underwent great changes.

Because Li Zetian mastered many advanced algorithms and problem-solving ideas, the math problem set up by Professor Zhou’s team was indeed difficult, but it couldn’t stump him.

At this moment, he had already left the University of Hong Kong.

When those students from the University of Hong Kong saw him again, Li Zetian would shock them once more with another identity!!!

The place Li Zetian was heading to now was Betty Ting Pei’s house.

He wanted to guard the door of Betty Ting Pei’s house in order to confirm whether the ambulance could arrive in time after he called the hospital, otherwise he wouldn’t feel at ease.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, Li Zetian had already arrived at the door of Betty Ting Pei’s house.

He pretended to look into the house nonchalantly.

Of course, there were many paparazzi outside Betty Ting Pei’s house, and the doors and windows were closed, so he didn’t see anything.

In order not to attract attention, Li Zetian didn’t stay at the door of Betty Ting Pei’s house for long.

He thought about first calling his mother Xiao Zhixuan to report that he was safe, because tonight, he would leave here at least after 7 o’clock in the evening.

When he returned home, it would probably be very, very late.

At this time, mobile phones had not yet become popular.

In 1973, the American company Motorola had just invented the “Brick” mobile phone, but in reality, it would take 10 years for the product to be officially released.

Li Zetian could only go to a telephone booth to make a call right now.

Then again, even if Hong Kong sold “Brick” phones, he couldn’t afford one!

After arriving at the telephone booth, Li Zhetian called his mother Xiao Zhixuan’s teacher’s office, and then told her that he was playing at a friend’s house and might come home a bit late today!

“Your body has just recovered, don’t play too late, you know?” Xiao Zhixuan exhorted.

“Okay, I know, you don’t need to worry!”

Hanging up the phone, Li Zetian prepared to head to the nearby Yau Ma Tei to take a look.

Yau Ma Tei had a long history and was an early settlement in Kowloon.

The famous ancient Tin Hau Temple and Hong Kong’s most famous “Temple Street” night market were located here.

In addition, Yau Ma Tei was also the place with the most martial arts schools in Hong Kong, an absolutely unique scenic line, although it gradually declined later, and the martial arts schools turned into a forest of shopping malls and shops.

Of course, in the current Yau Ma Tei, there were still quite a lot of martial arts schools!

Not long after Li Zetian walked, he came across a martial arts school.

Someone was handing out flyers at the door, repeatedly shouting: “Mo’s Martial Arts School is taking disciples!

Mo’s Martial Arts School is taking disciples!

Master Mo, the successor of Wong Fei-hung, is teaching orthodox Hung Kuen!”

“Hi, brother, want to learn martial arts?” The person handing out flyers saw Li Zhetian and immediately stepped forward to ask.

Li Zetian shook his head.

Learning martial arts cost money, and he didn’t have much money in his pocket.

“Look at you, so thin and fragile.

Learning martial arts can strengthen your body and prolong your life!

Mo’s Martial Arts School just opened today, teaching Master Wong Fei-hung’s orthodox Hung Kuen.

If you sign up right now, the tuition fee can be discounted by 20%!!!” The person patted Li Zetian’s shoulder and said.

Being patted so lightly by him, Li Zetian suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder and almost couldn’t stand steadily.

“Damn, this sickly body is really weak enough to not withstand a gust of wind.

It indeed needs to strengthen its exercise!”

Li Zetian couldn’t help rubbing his nose and asked: “Isn’t Wong Fei-hung’s kung fu the Foshan Shadowless Kick?

Does Hung Kuen have this move?”

“Yes, yes, yes, the Foshan Shadowless Kick is a move in Hung Kuen!!!”

“Really?

I haven’t read many books, don’t lie to me.”

“Why would I lie to you!

Wong Fei-hung was a Hung Kuen master in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, a grandmaster of the Lingnan martial arts circle.

Just ask anyone in Yau Ma Tei randomly, they all know!”

Li Zetian did want to learn some kung fu to strengthen his body, but unfortunately, he was short on money…

Therefore, Li Zetian still shook his head, found an excuse and said: “I have to go to school to study, so I don’t have time to learn kung fu for the time being.”

“What’s the damn use of just studying!

There are many gangsters nowadays.

How can you survive without learning some kung fu for self-defense?

Studying only allows you to talk to gangsters calmly, while learning martial arts can make gangsters talk to you calmly!!!

Look at my muscles, I guarantee they will make the other party feel afraid!

In addition, kung fu movies are popular in Hong Kong, and crews need a lot of martial arts stuntmen.

If you learn Master Wong Fei-hung’s Hung Kuen, it will be easy for you to find a job in the future.

Look at Bruce Lee, didn’t he study kung fu?

Look how popular he is now.

Just shooting a movie randomly, the box office is tens of millions or even over a hundred million.

Do you think he makes less money than you working as a white-collar worker after studying?”

“…” Li Zetian was instantly speechless.

What the other party said was so damn awesome, he actually had no words to reply!!!
