Chapter 33: The Path to Sustained Learning

"Weilan, did you understand?" Seeing Weilan in a daze, Xuyou thought she hadn't understood and quickly asked.

"Ah... Sorry, could you explain it again, but slower this time?" Weilan snapped out of her daze.

This time, Xuyou slowed down his speech and reiterated his analytical approach in more detail.

After all, Weilan was also ranked sixth in the province. Once she focused, she quickly grasped the meaning behind Xuyou's words.

"I get it now. Xuyou, you really are amazing. Even our teachers haven't explained this problem clearly. No wonder you're ranked first in the province!"

With that, Weilan no longer doubted Xuyou's abilities.

After all, he could easily clarify any problem she posed.

Such a level of understanding couldn't possibly be achieved through cheating or leaked exam questions.

By then, Weilan realized there was no need to continue testing him.

Xuyou truly possessed such strength.

"Thank you, Xuyou. I won't disturb you any longer."

"Sure, you're welcome."

At that moment, Weilan wanted to ask for Xuyou's WeChat.

But asking for his WeChat on their first meeting seemed somewhat forward to her.

"He probably wants to add me on WeChat too," Weilan thought to herself.

Even in the academically elite Shengcheng Experimental School, Weilan was considered a goddess.

Not only was she academically outstanding, but she also had exceptional looks and physique.

Weilan was accustomed to people actively asking for her WeChat.

As she left, Weilan deliberately slowed her pace.

But by the time she was almost at the door, Xuyou hadn't said, "Let's add each other on WeChat."

Unable to resist, Weilan looked back and saw Xuyou had already started studying again, paying no heed to her.

Seeing this, Weilan felt slightly disappointed.

But she knew it was precisely this aspect of Xuyou that made him seem like a true provincial top scorer.

"Sigh, I need to go back and catch up to you," Weilan thought.

As Weilan left Xuyou's room, several students from the Experimental School quickly gathered around her.

"How was it, Weilan? Is there a problem with Xuyou?"

Weilan shook her head in response.

"No problem. He genuinely has the ability. There's no need for doubts. Let's disperse."

Hearing Weilan's answer, everyone felt somewhat disappointed.

Since Weilan said so, Xuyou must indeed be very capable.

Instead of doubting others, it would be better to spend time studying and possibly scoring a few more points.

Back in her room, Weilan remembered she hadn't stopped the recording yet.

Instinctively wanting to delete it, she decided after some thought to keep the recording.

After a fulfilling release of tension, Hushucheng returned to room 608, moving his somewhat numb legs.

Detecting a trace amount of 3-methylindole on Hushucheng, Xuyou felt Hushucheng had indeed made a wise choice.

The next morning, after breakfast in the Shengcheng University cafeteria, everyone gradually arrived at the Physics Department building, room 301, ready to start class.

"Starting today, we'll officially begin classes. I want you all to be prepared; my teaching pace will be very fast, and the difficulty will match the provincial team training, aimed at the national competition standards. It's normal if you can't keep up in some areas."

Hearing Huzheng's words, the students became serious.

From now on, everyone had to focus 100% on the course.

Huzheng then started the day's lesson at an incredibly fast pace, covering various national competition points, relevant theoretical formulas, and more.

Even compared to Gaoshang, his pace was faster.

Even Xuyou found some parts challenging to follow.

Reluctantly, Xuyou had to activate his deep learning state.

With the boost from the deep learning state, Huzheng's teachings no longer seemed as complex.

Xuyou had enough time and energy to ponder every concept discussed.

After two hours, the lecture finally ended.

The students couldn't help but discuss Huzheng's class afterward.

"I can't keep up; the pace is just too fast! I couldn't follow the latter part at all, only mindlessly taking notes."

"I thought the teacher was just scaring us, but he really was that fast. Maybe if we record it and play it back at 0.5 speed, we could barely keep up."

"Should we collectively ask the teacher to slow down? Hardly anyone can keep up."

Hearing this, Huang Qingzhong scoffed.

"Don't be silly. This course isn't meant for most people to keep up. Huzheng's goal is to cover as

 much of the national competition content as possible in a limited time. If you ask him to slow down, he might suggest you leave the training camp instead."

Realizing the truth in Huang Qingzhong's words, everyone understood.

This wasn't a regular school where the feelings of the majority are considered.

The sole purpose was to select the fifteen most suitable monsters for the national competition.

Huang Qingzhong looked down on the student who suggested asking the teacher to slow down, thinking it was better for such individuals to be eliminated sooner.

"How about it, Xuyou? Could you keep up?"

After class, Hushucheng also asked Xuyou.

"Barely managed to keep up."

Without the boost from the deep learning state, Xuyou might indeed have struggled in some areas.

"Impressive, you probably understood about eighty to ninety percent. But that's normal. If you could understand everything, you'd definitely be at the national team level."

Making it to the national team would grant eligibility for direct admission to Jingbei University, Hushucheng's ultimate goal.

From that day on, the students spent almost all their time in that classroom from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., except for lunch and dinner.

Even the brief midday break was spent napping at their desks for about ten to twenty minutes.

Despite returning to their dorms, few students went straight to rest, choosing to study for another hour or two, with some staying up late into the night.

Xuyou and Hushucheng, however, didn't have the habit of staying up late, going to bed before midnight every day and maintaining their exercise routine.

Leaving high school, they no longer performed the standard calisthenics but followed Coach Liu in performing more challenging viral exercises.

Xuyou and Hushucheng believed maintaining a good sleep schedule and exercising were the keys to sustained learning.

Sacrificing one's health by staying up late to achieve a short-term goal was deemed unwise.

For Xuyou, it was essential to clear his fatigue daily to ensure the continuation of his deep learning state.

Thus, after ten days of intense study, many students were visibly exhausted, with significant dark circles under their eyes.

However, Xuyou and Hushucheng remained full of energy.
