My Abilities Come with Special Effects

Mathematics Test Question

For half a month, Lin Yan would come to the martial arts arena every day to spar with Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang.

The rest of the time, he would practice the fusion of the five forms alone in the room to strengthen his muscles and bones.

The bottle of Emerald Wind Powder only supported him for seven days of martial arts practice. Fortunately, the poisonous mushrooms had matured. If he used them sparingly, he could barely last for half a month. However, he was out of ammunition and food now.

Ji Biao, Ma Ziming, and the others didn’t dare to appear in front of Lin Yan after their first practice.

On the other hand, Lou Xing became like Xu Hongchang, eagerly surrounding and sparring with him. Although his face was bruised and swollen every day, and he exhausted his strength, he forcefully persevered.

Both he and Xu Hongchang understood something from Lin Yan’s actions.

Unfortunately, the increase in Lin Yan’s proficiency in the Five Animal Hands Technique was not satisfactory.

Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang gave him too little pressure. It was not intense enough, and they were not evenly matched.

As a result, after half a month of continuous training, his proficiency had only increased by 0.5%!

“Practical combat is indeed the key to breaking through the 95% bottleneck.

“However, this bottleneck is probably not the kind of bottleneck that will allow me to increase explosively as soon as I break through.

“Instead, I have to work hard time and time again. After years of actual combat, I can only improve bit by bit until I reach my limit.”

At this rate of progress, he had completely given up on the goal of achieving 100% proficiency by the end of the month.

However, this did not mean that he wanted to waste the proficiency of the Five Animal Hands Technique.

As the saying goes, there’s always a bright light in the dark.

In the past half a month, as the five forms continued to improve and the strength of his muscles and bones increased explosively, Lin Yan gradually realized that he might be able to reach the Monthly First Evaluation standard without the need for his blood energy to transform!

The effect of combining the five forms was really powerful. It completely exceeded his imagination.

In just half a month, he had grown half a head taller and gained ten kilograms of weight, but his body size had not changed much.

All the weight was added to the bones and tendons of the body, causing the density and strength of the bones and tendons to increase greatly.

Even his energy, stamina, and resistance to attacks had increased greatly.

When Lin Yan first entered Wu Yard, he had lifted the 80-catty stone lock a few times. He could only lift it up and down ten times at most before he was panting from exhaustion.

But now, it was effortless to lift 30 stone locks weighing 150 catties in a row.

When he fought Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang, he had never been hit again. If he used his full strength, he could end the battle in an instant.

Gradually, it became dull.

Compared to the few disciples who had passed the Monthly First Evaluation, he had already greatly surpassed them in terms of muscles, bones, experience, and realm.

“I wonder what the principle of the Dragon Pattern Liquid is.

“My Emerald Wind Powder and poisonous mushrooms have been consumed. My efficiency in practicing martial arts has greatly decreased.

“Why don’t I ask Eldest Senior Brother later if I can try using the Dragon Pattern Liquid in advance?”

“If I could pass the assessment without my blood energy transforming, I wouldn’t have to be so conflicted.”

Clap! Clap!

Lin Yan collected his thoughts and casually waved his palm to slap Xu Hongchang and Lou Xing’s fists aside. Then, he pushed them back.

“Alright, that’s all for today. By the way, I won’t spar with you guys anymore.”

Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang’s expressions changed slightly. “Senior Brother Lin, we can still fight!”

Lin Yan waved his hand. “You guys are still too weak now. It’s really boring to fight. We’ll talk about it after your blood energy transforms.”

“We—”

The two of them wanted to say something but hesitated. Even after Lin Yan left the martial arts arena, they still did not say anything.

After Lin Yan left, Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang looked at each other.

“Old Xu, you didn’t tell Senior Brother Lin?”

“I thought you told him.”

“Therefore, Senior Brother Lin has never known that our blood energy has actually transformed?”

Xu Hongchang looked ashamed. “After our blood energy transformed, our strength increased minimally, so Senior Brother Lin almost didn’t notice.”

“That’s right. Senior Brother Lin’s strength has increased too quickly after his blood energy transformed!”

“I thought that after a martial artist’s blood energy transforms, their strength will increase at a high speed like Senior Brother Lin, but look at the two of us. That’s normal.”

“You mean that Senior Brother Lin is abnormal?”

“Tsk, I’m saying that someone as talented as Senior Brother Lin is not someone mortals like us can compare to!”

“I’m all for it!”

Just as Lin Yan had mistakenly thought that their blood energy had yet to transform, they had also mistakenly thought that Lin Yan’s blood energy had already transformed.

Both of them felt that their blood energy transformation was too weak.

But in fact, after their blood energy transformed, be it their strength, reaction, or the toughness of their skin, they had greatly increased.

For example, Ma Ziming and Ji Biao, who were originally on par with them, were no longer their match if they really fought.

However, compared to Lin Yan’s astonishing improvement, the two of them felt that it was not worth mentioning.

Lin Yan, who had finished his lunch, was about to look for Eldest Senior Brother when there was a knock on the door.

Lin Yan opened the door. “Senior Brother Pang?”

“Junior Brother Lin, are you preparing to go out? Are you going to battle again?”

Pang Tong knew that Lin Yan had been obsessed with actual combat training recently.

He grinned. “I told you last time to spend money to hire a sparring partner. Have you considered it? There are many disciples in Wei Yard who work part-time as sparring partners. As long as you spend money, I’ll immediately hire a bunch of them for you.”

Lin Yan chuckled. “Senior Brother Pang, I don’t have money. In addition, I’m also short of money. Next time someone hires a sparring partner, remember to recommend me.”

“Looking for a disciple of Wu Yard? Then we might as well go to the Guangchuan Mountains. At this moment, there are all kinds of people, blocking the way, robbing, and killing non-stop. Not only can we fight in actual combat, but we can also get rich.”

Lin Yan cupped his hands. “Then I wish Senior Brother Pang a prosperous future.”

With that, he was about to leave.

Pang Tong hurriedly stopped him. “Wait, wait, wait. I’m looking for you for a serious matter.”

“Senior Brother Pang, please speak.”

Pang Tong took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Yan. “Here, this is it.”

Lin Yan took it. “This is…”

“Have you forgotten? Didn’t I recommend you to be Senior Sister Chen’s arithmetic teacher last time?”

It had been half a month. Lin Yan recalled that he had asked Pang Tong to help him find an opportunity to earn money.

“Didn’t you say that Senior Sister Chen was out and hadn’t returned? I thought that was a disguised rejection.”

“Who said that? Senior Sister Chen didn’t say it explicitly, so it’s not a rejection.”

In reality, Senior Sister Chen had rejected him. However, she could not stand Pang Tong’s repeated visits. He even deliberately pulled many strings. She had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the test.

He pointed at the paper in Lin Yan’s hand. “This is Senior Sister Chen’s reply.”

Lin Yan opened the page and saw that the first line said, “Today, someone doesn’t know the number. If you divide it by three, two remains. If you divide it by five, three remains. If you divide it by seven, two remains. What’s the number?”

Looking down, they were all math questions. There were a total of ten questions. The last one was the classic chicken and rabbit question.

“This is the test given by Senior Sister Chen. She said that you’re too young and doesn’t believe that you have the ability to calculate. Unless you can complete this test in three days, she will give you a chance to interview.”

“Chance?”

Pang Tong shrugged. “Don’t tell me you think you’re the only one who wants to take on this job? Senior Sister Chen’s salary is so high that it’s enough to hire a martial artist. There are already three candidates, four including you. Senior Sister Chen will take interviews and choose the best one.”

Lin Yan nodded. It was reasonable.

“It wasn’t easy for me to get this opportunity. You have to cherish it. Alright, take this test back and do it. Let’s meet at the old place in three days.”

“Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’ll get a pen.”

“What are you doing with a pen?”

“Doing the questions.”

“What? You’re doing questions here? Look up. I haven’t had lunch yet!”

“It won’t take long.”

The first of these questions was the most difficult. It was middle school difficulty. The other questions were at most elementary school difficulty. Every question did not take long.

After Lin Yan received the pen, he wrote a draft on the ground and calculated for a moment before writing the answers.

In less than ten minutes, the answers to the ten math questions were written down.

Pang Tong frowned and said, “Junior Brother Lin, don’t write random answers. It’s not easy for me to fight for this opportunity. Don’t waste my energy!”

“These questions are very simple. Why would I write them randomly?”

“Simple?”

Pang Tong was even more suspicious. He had also studied mathematics. Not to mention anything else, just the last question, Chicken and Rabbit, he had thought about it for four hours and still could not figure it out.

How could Lin Yan tell the answer at a glance?

“Alright, I’m done. If Senior Brother Pang is free, send it to Senior Sister Chen. I still have something on, so I’ll take my leave first.”

“Are you sure you’re done?”

“That’s right.”

Pang Tong had no choice but to take the paper and go back.

Before he left, he thought of something and said, “Oh right, Junior Brother Lin, did you beat up someone called Mi Tai?”

Lin Yan nodded.

“You have to be careful! This guy is arrogant and despotic because he’s talented. He said that you only defeated him because of a despicable sneak attack. Recently, he’s threatening to take revenge on you.”

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

“Junior Brother Lin, if you really meet him, stay away! This guy is not very smart, but he’s really talented. It’s only been half a month, but he’s already mastered the circulation of blood energy. Wei Yard disdains to be entangled with Wu Yard. If you hide from him a couple of times, he won’t take revenge on you anymore!”

Lin Yan nodded. “Thank you for your reminder, Senior Pang.”

After saying this, Pang Tong left with Lin Yan’s answer sheet.

However, he did not send it to Senior Sister Chen immediately. Instead, he read it one by one.

The man wrote all the answers and did not miss a single one. It looked decent. Was this Lin Yan really so good at mathematics?

Thinking of Lin Yan’s casual attitude, he couldn’t help but suspect that Lin Yan had written it randomly, so he read the questions and looked at the answers.

He didn’t know how to calculate, but he could still check the answers.

Pang Tong chose a few that were easy to calculate. He calculated them one by one until midnight, and his face gradually became numb.

All correct!

After a few hours of calculations, there were a total of five questions. All of them were correct!

But how long did it take for Lin Yan to come up with the answers?

He wrote down the answers almost without thinking!

A few hours, and without even thinking…

Pang Tong pressed his forehead and his forehead twitched slightly. “How can there be such a huge difference between the brains of two humans?”
