“Fully memorize all the digits of Pi.” the green-skinned frog croaked.
“Ah,” Fang Ning startled and immediately reacted. “that’s something no one can do.”
“Why?” the green-skinned frog was confused, and then said disdainfully, “Is it because you can’t do it that you said so?”
“No, it’s because Pi has an infinite amount of numbers. No one can completely recite it, much less memorize it…” Fang Ning explained.
The green-skinned frog was shocked, but it said in disbelief, “It’s not infinite just because you say it’s infinite. You’ll have to prove it to me. This question was given by that guy.”
Fang Ning hurriedly told the people in the Penitentiary to find out the calculation formula for him. After all, he only remembered the ratio was between 3.1415926 and 3.1415927, and forgotten all other relevant information. He only remembered that the textbook did not give any specific derivation process.
Before long, Fang Ning took out a stack of white papers from the System Space and started to write the derivation formulae one by one. It was not too long, but unless one was an expert, it would be impossible for a normal person to write it out in just ten minutes.
Thus, under the scrutiny of everyone outside the Divine Gate, Vigilante A was seen working on mathematical problems in front of a green frog, as mathematical symbols fell on the white papers.
“Goodness, so the scope of examination set by the Heavenly Axiom was so wide…”
“Yeah, some people think that they won’t have to study or go to school just because they cultivate. Right now they should understand that as long as they have a weakness, there will be opportunities that pass by them just like that.”
At the sight of this scene, many of the sarcastic and mocking voices suddenly disappeared and were replaced by all sorts of introspection.
“I never thought that the Azure Dragon who served justice 24/7 would have the time to learn maths. How admirable.”
“However, if it’s a mathematical question the Heavenly Axiom thought of, it must be very complicated, right? Would he be able to solve it?” some people still did not believe in him.
After more than ten minutes, Fang Ning finally finished copying the answer and handed it to the frog.
“Damn it, that guy actually gave me a wrong topic.” the green-skinned frog hopped a few times and said, “Alright, I’ll let you pass because of your level 6 frog language. You can continue climbing.”
Hearing this, Fang Ning hurriedly tidied up his instruments and moved steadily forward. He easily ascended the third step and arrived before the fourth step.
“Hss!”
Outside the Divine Gate, the crowd looked on with great surprise. Vigilante A actually walked past the third step so easily?
This surprised them too much. They thought that the third step which suddenly changed would bring about some sort of shockwave or thrill. They never thought that Vigilante A would be able to pass just by solving a math problem!
“Could it be that that math question was an unsolved problem?” someone asked
“It’s not an unsolved problem at all, but the opposite. It was a mathematical problem that was solved a thousand years ago. It’s how to calculate the ratio of a circumference.” A monster with extremely sharp eyesight explained.
“Oh, the ratio of a circumference. Why is the Heavenly Axiom testing for that?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe it just simply thought of this topic?”
At this moment, a long-robed man watching the ceremony among the crowd looked down at the clouds at his feet, as if deep in thought.
The Heavenly Axiom definitely had a deep reason for testing this.
However, for the Venerable One to pass so easily, there certainly was something odd.
Fang Ning walked up to the fourth step but did not immediately raise his foot.
He asked the System, “Can I go up? Did you sense anything new?”
The System hesitated. “I don’t sense anything special. It seems like an ordinary step, but maybe that’s the problem?”
Fang Ning looked around him and noticed that the green-skinned frog was still on his leg.
He was struck with inspiration and instantly started the spiritual telepathy. Naturally, it sounded like him croaking…
“Brother Frog, how should I climb the remaining steps?”
“How to climb? Just go straight up. The test is already over. After the first three steps, will, strength, and wisdom, all that remains is a reward for every step you climb thereafter.” The green-skinned frog croaked loudly.
System Notification: [The System has seized the Host’s body.]
After returning to the System Space, Fang Ning could only chuckle at this notification…
Outside the Divine Gate, the people who did not know what was happening only saw that Vigilante A stopped again. Some creatures began to spout nonsense again.
“Hehe, looks like Vigilante A is stuck again at the fourth stage.”
“Yeah. He’ll definitely not be able to pass that easily this time.”
Southeast of the Divine Gate, the Demon Lord Zhi Nan frowned deeply. He naturally could clearly see the topic for the third stage earlier as well as Vigilante A’s calculation process.
“Master, do you think that Lord Azure Dragon would have trouble passing the fourth stage?”
Saki Yamanashi asked in worry.
Zhi Nan lightly shook his head. “There’s no fourth stage. Among those nine steps, only the first three are checkpoints. The rest are rewards.”
“How do you know what?” Saki Yamanashi asked in surprise and delight.
Zhi Nan smiled but remained silent.
However, the middle-aged Black Robe said proudly, “The Buddha is a wise man who knows all the languages of the world. He already understood everything that frog said.”
“Eh, does that mean you can understand a frog’s croak as well, Uncle Black Robe?” Yamanashi exclaimed.
“Well… I was transformed by the Buddha’s black robe and have accompanied him for many years, so I still have this memory. I can also understand what that frog is saying.” Black Robe said, slightly embarrassed.
Indeed, Vigilante A resolutely climbed up the fourth step.
Afterward, a beam of golden light flew out above the Divine Gate and landed on Vigilante A.
When Vigilante A opened his right hand, he saw a red fruit the size of his palm. A purple energy rose around it, showing that it was definitely not an ordinary item.
The crowd watched as he smiled lightly and quickly stepped on the fifth step.
Another golden light flew above the Divine Gate, and landed in front of Vigilante A.
This time, it was a ferocious monster. Its form was terrifying, causing people to be awed at the sight.
They saw Vigilante A’s eyes light up. White energy surrounded his body and raised to the sky, and quickly pressed down on the ferocious monster.
The monster had no resistance against the white energy and was immediately swept away, and vanished in an instant.
The sixth step, a piece of ore.
The seventh step, a tree sapling.
The eighth step, a glass of clear water.
The ninth step… there was nothing.
The System was puzzled. “Something’s wrong. The rewards Daddy Axiom gives should be better and better, but why doesn’t the ninth step have any?”
Fang Ning was also confused. He looked around him and suddenly saw that the green-skinned frog jumping while following him, and came to a realization. “I know what the ninth reward it.”
“What is it?” The System asked in wonder.
“It’s this frog.” Fang Ning said confidently.
“Eh, can it become a certain princess? Why don’t you try kissing it and see if it’ll follow you back home? You can’t do that. Don’t forget you can only marry after reaching level 100. Plus,
you’re already engaged,” the System immediately warned.
“Don’t give me that bullsh*t. How would that be possible?” Fang Ning was extremely speechless.
Afterward, Vigilante A lowered his head to ask the frog, “Brother Frog, what’s the reward for the ninth step?”
The green-skinned frog said matter-of-factly, “Of course, it’s that I recognize you as my master.
That’s the greatest reward. You’re the first person to climb all the way to the ninth step. I’m the Divine Monument’s sapient tool. Before, there was a mysterious fella on you who beat me up for a long time, so I could only temporarily succumb to it. Now that you passed the test, I can sincerely trust in you. In the future, I’ll teach you everything there is to know about all the secret uses of this Divine Monument.”
“Oh, I see.” the System was very despondent.
It said to Fang Ning, “Looks like there really was no reward for the ninth step. This frog is the Divine Monument’s sapient tool. I’ll beat it a few more times. We can’t use it’s sincere trust anyway.”
Fang Ning was speechless. “Stop it, forget it. I already said the reason why the Divine Monument seemed useless was that there were many things it didn’t tell us. Nothing forcibly done is going to be agreeable, but now that it sincerely trusts us, it’ll probably be really amazing in the future.”
Hearing this, Sir System became slightly satisfied. “Fine then. We’ll just have to see its performance in the future. If it’s still bad, then I’ll beat it several more times.”
