Chapter 59: Chapter 58

Campbell was well known for looking at the bigger picture. He was multi-talented and was crowned as the All-Rounded Commander by the students of Apollo Military College. Furthermore, he was known as Earth’s strongest student.

On one hand, the competition was meant to be a place for the students from different colleges to have a setting to interact. On the other hand, it was meant for the participating students to get to know each other better. As a result, conflict was needed. Everyone improving their skills together would be for the best…

Actually, all of it was nonsense. The most important thing was for the students to fight it out! Victory at all costs!

As the competition approached, the students who came from other colleges could choose to listen in at any of the numerous classes at Ares College. As a result, the teaching staff was extremely attentive and wished to demonstrate their full abilities to prevent the other colleges from laughing at them.

This was not a one off occurrence. As they were the host, the guests were scrutinizing everything in great detail. The students that were brought over were all experts who were here to compete, and if news leaked out that the school was ridiculed, they would not have any face left if it were to spread.

However, this was simply what the press loved to do. The competition between the three military colleges would definitely be on the headlines.

In any case, during the last exchange, Ares College had embarrassed themselves greatly. One member of the teaching staff had been questioned by the students and was unable to give satisfactory answers. As a result, that member of staff had even resigned. Although it was not a large issue, under such special circumstances, the situation had blown up and affected the college and the individual’s personal pride.

However, there were those who did not care at all. One of them would be Xiao Fei.

Although she did not pay the situation much heed, she had still very responsibly said that she was unparalleled in the Solar System Federation. There was no one who would dare challenge her.

Her class was also one of the most anticipated ones. In Ares College, she was probably the most outstanding staff member around.

Xiao Fei’s class was extremely engaging. Aina and Wang Zheng were usually the focus of attention in the physics class and thus they opted to find a quiet corner to sit in.

In order to not be distracted, Yao Ailun and Chen Xiu remained in their previous center row seats.

Xiao Fei couldn’t do any information about Wang Zheng. Although she did not like inattentive students, she knew that Wang Zheng only paid selective attention. Repeating something that a genius already knew was a form of torment and thus she closed one eye towards the situation.

There were several foreign students in the class. Xiao Fei knew that they were from other colleges and did not pay them much attention. She taught as per usual and did not change the way she did things.

From their uniforms, there were two students from Apollo College and three from Zeus College.

Originally, Wang Zheng didn’t pay much attention to them, but suddenly he started staring blankly at one of the students for a brief moment. Of the students from Zeus College, two were males and one was a female, and he actually recognized the female student.

Yue Jing!

She had transferred schools to Zeus Military College. Although that was the case, she didn’t seem like a Physics Department student, so what was she doing here?

The two guys beside her did not seem like they were from Earth. They were likely from the Moon.

“What beauty are you looking at? You’re completely spellbound,” Aina quietly whispered.

Wang Zheng revealed a bitter smile. “It’s my and Xiaosu’s worst enemy.”

Wang Zheng was actually innocent; he was just responsible for sending a letter, but for some strange reason, Yue Jing seemed to hate him even more for that.

Aina did not have a very deep impression of Yue Jing. Only after being reminded by Wang Zheng did she finally remember. As a princess of the Aslan Empire, people like her were so common that they were like grains of sand. However, in Yue Jing’s world, Aina was the true almighty princess.

To Yue Jing, although it was now in a different capacity, she was finally back. She had been forced away while Yan Xiaosu and that bastard Wang Zheng had entered Ares College. In fact, she heard that that b***h Ye Zisu was very close to them. Yue Jing was so displeased that she could not swallow such a fact down.

One has to rely on themselves to struggle against fate. Her family had managed to gain the backing of an even greater family and she wanted to retrieve all that she had lost.

Before she came, she had already thoroughly researched the situation behind Wang Zheng and Yan Xiaosu. Wang Zheng was in the Physics Department and was highly prized by the professor. That useless scum with a genetic score of 28 had actually entered the Physics Department. Wasn’t this just a dream?

Yue Jing could not believe that Wang Zheng had managed to enter the Physics Department based on his merit. There was definitely something behind the scenes. It was highly likely it was due to Xie Yuxin’s influence. Xie Yuxin was Gu Te’s grandson and was Wang Zheng’s brother for life.

As for that Xiao Fei, Yue Jing believed that she was not as honest and virtuous as people thought. Becoming a professor at such a young age definitely meant that she had taken some shortcuts.

How could a school which had spent four years at the bottom of the rankings hovering between life and death possibly experience a reversal of fortune?!

She truly hated Yan Xiaosu, Wang Zheng, Ye Zisu, Ares College… basically all of them!

Only when she could have all of them below her foot would she finally be able to scrub all her humiliation away!

The first step would be to destroy Ares College’s reputation. The audacity of such a college to dare to compete with Zeus College!

Time passed and the lesson ended. The entire class was filled with raucous applause. The students demonstrated their enthusiasm and excitement to be taught by such an intelligent and beautiful teacher.

“Carlos, Gong Jin, it’s your turn to shine. Don’t let Lear down.”

One could easily see that Carlos and Gong Jin were not new students. However, they treated Yue Jing with the utmost respect.

During the question and answer session, Carlos raised his hand. Xiao Fei nodded her head.

Carlos stood up and silently looked around the entire classroom. “I often hear that Professor Xiao Fei is an expert in space-time physics. I heard that for the last few years you have been researching methods to traverse space-time. My first question would be about this topic. With regards to the state of warp travel, without talking about the fundamentals, in these five years, has Professor Xiao Fei managed to find a solution?”

After speaking, he silently stared at Xiao Fei. Warp travel required one to identify the spatial coordinates of the location, and such a technique was the most common approach utilized in interstellar navigation. Humanity constantly strove to expand their boundaries. Thus, the further development of warp travel was one of the most important areas of research currently being conducted. If it was successful, it would be able to simplify the process and reduce the time needed to travel long distances.

However, the largest problem with warp travel was that the spatial coordinates were often unstable and could not be precisely located.

People who opposed the research were not small in number; they felt that development in this direction was a mistake and a waste of resources to develop something useless.

The student just wanted to challenge the teacher, so the specific details were useless. Carlos had clearly done his research with regards to the topic before choosing to challenge her.

“Professor Xiao Fei, Professor Marshall and Professor Andros are experts in the field of space-time. They and many experts have conducted many experiments and felt that pursuing such a thing is complete nonsense. Scientists should dream big and create something new, not fiddle with established foundations and come up with whimsical and unrealistic research to distract the rest of the world. This does not meet the rigorous nature of science!”

Said Gong Jin. He had quoted individuals that were no less impressive compared to Xiao Fei.

In fact, what he had said was true. These young geniuses were definitely subject to more criticism.

Such a controversy had already existed for quite some time. The road of academia was a long one and was full of struggles. However, Xiao Fei was unconcerned about her critics. Such individuals were useless; they could only solve problems that didn’t exist and prodded their noses into everything. It was the only way they could validate their existences.

Thus, when dealing with these people, Xiao Fei was never courteous towards them. However, as a teacher, arguing with students was beneath her.

Looking at Wang Zheng, who was sitting in a corner, Xiao Fei couldn’t help but smile darkly. That bastard had been living such a comfortable life. She didn’t even know where he had found such a pretty girl.

“Wang Zheng, Carlos’ and Gong Jin’s thoughts are very interesting. As my assistant, what views do you have?”

Xiao Fei immediately passed the baton to Wang Zheng.

Carlos and Gong Jin couldn’t help but give disdainful smiles. Xiao Fei didn’t choose to confront them directly but offered someone else to be sacrificed in her place. What was this bastard worth? Could he actually solve this conundrum faced by the physics world?

Yue Jing stared at Wang Zheng, her pretty face frozen solid. For some reason, the one she hated the most was not Yan Xiaosu but Wang Zheng. Wang Zheng’s carefree expressions and blank face had caused her to feel immense pain. She had always wondered how this bastard would even find a girlfriend, but in fact, sitting right next to him was a girl of unparalleled beauty!

Aina had realized that she was too easily recognized; thus, just dyeing her hair was insufficient. Her starred pupils were too special, so she wore spectacles. This way it would be extremely difficult to recognize her. Furthermore, who would expect an Aslan princess to be sitting in the lecture hall like a normal individual?

When Wang Zheng stood up, the rest of the students began to whisper incessantly. Apollo College’s two students also stared at Wang Zheng. They had never heard of this guy, and since he wasn’t even part of the student council, they didn’t think he would be some exceptional talent.

In the Tri-College Exchange, with military matters taking precedence, non-military matters would be more casual. Although the experts would gather to interact, there would also be some hidden rivalries.

Wang Zheng was unconcerned with Yue Jing. To him, all those matters of the past were just that. Yan Xiaosu had also found someone for himself and everything was fine with him.

However, when someone stirred trouble on Ares College’s turf, they had to be crushed completely.

He had already discussed the subject of this question with the Old Merchant multiple times. However, at this point, most of the theories were just conjectures from the Old Merchant. He would often lament about the fact that if he had more time, he would have already solved the problem. It was as though his research was much more complicated than this.

“Firstly, warp travel through space-time is definitely possible!”

Wang Zheng started off with a conclusive and tyrannical statement.

The Physics Department students were used to this person who would usually be extremely quiet but in times of crisis surprise everyone with his insight. However, the students from the other colleges did not know that.

What he said was truly overbearing.

Wang Zheng truly felt that way and thus spoke his mind.

“Student over there, you are indeed quite cocky. The entire Milky Way Coalition’s problems seem like a piece of cake to you. As Professor Xiao Fei’s assistant and as a representative of Ares College, I would like to hear what you want to say!”

Carlos felt that this was extremely funny. A freshman would dare to say such audacious words.

Wang Zheng gave a wry smile. “The problem lies with locating the coordinates. However, this problem can be easily solved. The universe is constantly in motion; although you can’t see it, that does not mean it’s not true. Our current way of locating spatial coordinates could be considered to be the most basic, at a third-dimensional level. However, upon entering warp travel, we have entered the realm of the seventh dimension. What we have to solve is the method of determining the spatial coordinates, which is to say, using the seventh dimension to solve it.”

At this moment, the entire class started whispering to each other. No one had heard of such an idea, but it actually seemed plausible.

Carlos’s face turned green. “Your train of thought is not new. However, it’s just a conjecture. Determining the position in the seventh dimension is just unrealistic!”
