It’s second only to the Ross Summer Camp, but the Boyuan only admits middle school students from within the country, with international students accepted only at the university level.

Even so, there is still significant competition for the limited special training spots available to domestic high school students each year.

Each session only accepts thirty to forty students, almost thirty of whom are from the affiliated high schools of Jiangjing University, with the other four major cities only being allocated four or five spots each.

Basically, studying here means you’ve already got one foot in Jiangjing University.

Song Min is the only student from Beicheng High School who came to the Boyuan Base.

But—

Why is Bai Lian also here?

Bai Lian glanced at him and immediately shifted her gaze away, continuing to reply to Director Ma’s message with methodical slowness.

Bai Lian: [Boyuan.]

Director Ma was at Jiangjing University not far away; Ji Heng wasn’t sure what Boyuan was about, but Director Ma certainly did.

Director Ma: [.]

Beside Bai Lian, Ning Xiao was seated one spot away from her, and Tang Ming was right next to Ning Xiao. Both felt an immense pressure as soon as they entered the classroom and were now buried in their notebooks, working on problems.

Eight o’clock.

The elderly professor with graying hair entered. He wore a gray, thick cotton-padded jacket and held only a set of nine linked rings made of iron in his hand, “You all know topology, right? This subject’s prototype, the Nine Linked Rings, has a history of five thousand years. I will give you three minutes to untie them.”

“Reporting.” A male student entered the classroom just on time, holding a thick book.

The professor turned his head and then smiled warmly, “Liang Wuyu, you’re just in time, hand these out to everyone.”

Whoosh—

The entire classroom fell silent.

Almost everyone’s eyes were on the boy.

This was the first time the professor had shown warmth since he entered.

After all, the professor himself was a genius. While most students in the classroom were quite smart, he saw so many intelligent people every year, and ordinary geniuses no longer caught his attention.

Unless it was a rare genius like Liang Wuyu.

Bai Lian also looked up. The heating was on in the classroom. Liang Wuyu took off his long cotton coat, revealing a black knitted sweater, and he held a copy of Algebraic Number Theory in one hand. His complexion was somewhat pale, his thick hair almost reached his eyebrows, and he stretched his hand to receive the Nine Linked Rings from the professor to distribute them.

“Liang Wuyu…”

“Isn’t he in your class? How come you’re all looking at him as if you’ve never seen him before?”

“We’ve hardly ever seen him attend class in our grade.”

“He spends most of his time in the lab, and guess what? He scored 739 on the final exam.”

“That’s insane, he could be compared to He Wen now, right?”

“And Xu Zhiyue only scored 712.”

“‘Only?’ The exam questions were set by the Physics Institute and were that difficult. I scored 669, ranked fifth. Honestly, in any other year, I could have been in the top three…”

“…”

As soon as Liang Wuyu appeared, he set off a stir in the whole room.

Compared to the pressure Song Min placed on the entire Beicheng, Liang Wuyu’s presence at the affiliated high schools of Jiangjing was more of a shadow than pressure. Most people didn’t even entertain the thought of comparing themselves to him.

The gap was too great.

Outside, Tang Ming handed out the Nine Linked Rings to Bai Lian and Ning Xiao, speaking excitedly in a low voice, “Damn, that’s Liang Wuyu! The professor even knows him. But how do you solve this?”

He had never played with the Nine Linked Rings before. Relying on his intuition, he only made it to the fifth ring.

“To solve which ring, you have to make sure the preceding ring is on top,” Bai Lian nonchalantly solved it, speaking slowly and deliberately.

With just one sentence, Tang Ming understood.

He looked down and managed to solve the remaining rings within two minutes.

In the class, most students had already solved it, and then the professor started the presentation, “This is just the beginning; you all have good spatial imagination. So, we use a point B to represent any spherical neighborhood in this Rn, and now we move on to proving open sets… ”

As the students were all high schoolers, the professor only taught the basics, which were both detailed and humorous.

Bai Lian and her companions listened intently.

After a morning of classes, the professor brought in some test papers from outside, and scanning the people here, he smiled and said, “You all know that here at the Boyuan Base, we have an initial assessment score for each person, based on their abilities. We distribute three sets of papers: A, B, and C. Let’s combine them and also, from today on, everyone needs to prepare for an academic presentation.”

“Liang Wuyu, Paper A.”

“Xu Zhiyue, Paper A.”

“…”
