Wang Qi was endowed with multiple Strange Skills, among which the most dazzling were the Elephant Phase Wave Skill and the Heavenly Entropy Technique, that no one had ever achieved during the Qi Cultivation Stage. The existence of these two cultivation techniques made everyone subconsciously overlook the techniques Wang Qi devoted the most effort to.
The cultivation technique Wang Qi practiced most diligently was neither the initially powerful Elephant Phase Wave Skill and Heavenly Entropy Technique, nor the main study, Heavenly Calculation Atlas, that commanded the overall situation, but rather two mundane Wanfa Sect mental methods—the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture and the Book of Geometry.
Wang, the overachiever, understood his role clearly from the start. His expert field was neither straightforward challenges nor survival evolution, but calculation.
"So I never intended to use the Sword Technique to determine the winner against that guy!"
"The reason I burst my clothes was to emulate Feimi Dharma King, calculating the changes in gravity of this area through the dispersing strips of cloth!"
"Taking deep breaths to control my heart rate was also for the sake of timing."
"To eliminate interference and reduce the calculation load, I specifically used the Sword Qi deduced from the Navier-Stokes Formula, which was meant to control the surrounding air flow, reduce variables, and lower the difficulty of calculation!"
"In the end, my goal was to calculate the pattern of the changing gravitational constant of this guy, and then calculate the Lagrange Point!"
The Lagrange Point refers to a point where, under the gravitational influence of two large bodies, a small body can remain stable. At this point, the small body maintains a relative stillness with respect to the two large bodies.
For Wang Qi, Ai Changyuan and the Shenzhou Land beneath his feet were the two strong sources of gravity. And the Lagrange Point between these two was where the gravity of Shenzhou compensated for Ai Changyuan's Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction.
Just to find that point...
Wang Qi's long sword trailed a sword light, his divine Qi converged, focusing entirely on calculating the position of that point which could turn defeat into victory.
The surging mana kept passing through the Yin Yang Yao inside Wang Qi's body. A single flicker of a Yin Yang Yao was one simple calculation. In just a moment, Wang Qi completed hundreds of mental calculations.
Then, the young man closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the perspective had already changed. In Wang Qi's eyes, three number axes extending from his Dantian pierced heaven and earth, making everything abstract yet clear.
Swiftly, Wang Qi calculated the critical conclusion.
Seeing Wang Qi launch his movement technique toward a certain spot, Ai Changyuan's heart sank.
Constant Position! He calculated my constant position!
For centuries, competing for the Constant Position, or the Lagrange Point, has been an essential part of duels among cultivators proficient in gravity!
Ai Changyuan's first choice was not to fly and stop Wang Qi. Doing so would only lead to a deadlock where neither could defeat the other, causing the competition to fall into a repetitive loop. The young man from the Ai Family increased his actions, making the surrounding gravity environment even more chaotic.
You try to seek out the Constant Position, I will interfere with your calculations, breaking your plans!
As long as I can execute my ultimate skill before you complete your attack!
This was a gamble. Both geniuses staked the outcome of this battle on this one strike, to see who was faster!
The surrounding gravity field grew increasingly chaotic, Wang Qi felt his blood flow become even more irregular. Abnormal buzzing sounds began in his ears, and his vision shattered into irregular colored patches. In Wang Qi's perception, everything in the world was gradually fading, except for two things that grew more and more substantial.
The Shenzhou Land under his feet and Ai Changyuan behind him.
In Wang Qi's perception, Ai Changyuan was no longer a person but a celestial body independent of Shenzhou, lofty and elevated. His gravity, entwined with that of Shenzhou's, formed a mysterious and inexplicable system.
The descendant of the Yuanli Master truly terrifying indeed.
The top student maintained a confident smile from beginning to end. He always had faith in his calculations.
Just one more step... another step...
Finally, he felt his whole body lighten as if all shackles had been removed.
"Hahaha... This is the equilibrium point of gravity, the legendary Lagrange Point!"
Here, in this moment, Wang Qi would absolutely not be bound by gravity. No matter how chaotic the surrounding gravity field, it couldn't affect him! After eliminating the interference of gravity, the strong heart of Wang Qi, a cultivator, thumped powerfully, quickly sorting out his blood flow. Wang Qi moved according to his previous calculations along with the Lagrange Point, and took a moment to look back.
The first thing that caught his eye was a huge, dark sphere.
"This dumpling can be thrown now!" Wang Qi yelled strangely, unleashing his full strength in a slash. A high-entropy phase wave shaped into a crescent sword aura and shot toward the gravity ball. After the high-entropy sword aura touched the gravity ball, the sword aura quickly extinguished, and the stability of the gravity ball was lost. It wobbled in the air a few times and then collapsed on its own.
"Good! He has no major moves or chance to cast now!"
"Opportunity! That guy has exhausted the mana of his troublesome Heavenly Entropy Technique on his sword!"
With the gravity ball destroyed, the Lagrange Point moved significantly towards Ai Changyuan. Wang Qi swiftly followed, stepping lightly. A spark shone in Ai Changyuan's eyes, and he directly tamed and attacked with the Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction.
Wang Qi wielded his long sword, producing bright and piercing sword light, slashing repeatedly, sending the sword aura tearing through all directions.
Thinking of using the Bai Ze True Formation Slash now? Too late!
Ai Changyuan bellowed, determined to decide the battle at that moment.
Just then, Wang Qi smiled lightly, "Eat my Thunderstorm Shattering the Heavens!"
Wang Qi's long sword followed the surface geometry to make nine feint cuts, each connected to the next, and finally, the tenth sword slashed out. A silver electric arc connected the previous nine sword auras. In an instant, several peaks of electric sword aura overlapped, merging into an electric light that struck right in front of Ai Changyuan in a blink!
Ai Changyuan had not assumed a defensive posture. The material wave released by the Elephant Phase Wave Skill would be deviated only by the gravity produced by the Wanxiang Heavenly Attraction, and since Wang Qi, who had not learned the Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm, couldn't use the True Qi of the Heavenly Entropy Technique for long-range attacks, he simply didn't need to defend. However, this sudden electromagnetic field strike was fierce and fast, covering all frequencies and spreading quickly, piercing through the complex gravity field and still capable of injuring!
A figure accompanied by the flash of lightning flew backwards. Ai Changyuan heavily crashed into the restrictions surrounding the arena and then comically slid down the glowing film produced by the restriction.
However, no one laughed; there was only a deathly silence at the scene.
When the chaotic surrounding gravity field dissipated, everyone realized that Wang Qi had won.
This man had defeated the descendant of the Yuanli Master, had beaten Ai Changyuan who had previously established an unbeatable legend!
The judge of the Foundation Establishment Stage descended into the arena, declaring Ai Changyuan incapacitated and Wang Qi the victor.
As the judge's voice fell, a wave of applause erupted from the new disciples in the square. Even the disciples of the Langde Immortal Institute spared no effort in their cheers.
This match was simply too exciting!
