Comprehension Ability: Creating the Five Thunders Technique in Reality

Chapter 254: The Qian Conjecture, Solved!



Professor Qian scolded for half an hour, and only stopped when his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched.

Meanwhile, the corridor outside the classroom was packed with people, all of whom were excitedly watching Professor Qian.

"The old professor hasn't lost his touch. Even scolding people, he does it with such confidence."

"What do you know? This is nothing. Back in the day, the old professor could verbally spar with a host of scholars from numerous countries all by himself, making them speechless. That's what I call impressive!"

"Yes, yes, I've seen that footage too. It was truly thrilling! Professor Qian switched between languages of dozens of countries, leaving those who questioned his theories with no rebuttal. It was immensely satisfying."

The crowd chuckled and pointed at the members of the student council, occasionally mocking them.

The student council members were almost as if sitting on pins and needles.

Just then, a hubbub arose among the crowd.

"Make way, the student council is working, everyone step aside!"

The student council cleared the way, and an elderly man entered from the outside.

Seeing this person, a few student council members in the room brightened up, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Their backer had finally arrived.

Imperial Capital University has eleven vice principals.

And this elderly man who came in was precisely their backer.

The reason the student council dared to act so presumptuously, even showing disrespect to common professors, was actually quite simple.

Because teachers and regular university departments couldn't control them.

They were directly accountable to a specific vice principal.

And this vice principal was Zhou Hualan.

Imperial Capital University promotes a liberal academic climate, allowing students to manage students, creating a micro-society resembling the real world.

In this micro-society, teachers are only responsible for teaching knowledge, while everything else is managed by the students themselves.

The advantage of this setup is that students can study and research more freely, communicate more smoothly, and teachers can focus on their research without being distracted by daily trivialities in addition to their lectures.

However, power abhors a vacuum. When teachers don't oversee students, the student council becomes the largest power organization.

Whenever the student council encounters something they can't handle, Zhou Hualan naturally steps in.

Upon seeing Zhou Hualan enter, Lin Beichen slowly stood up.

Although meeting for the first time, Lin Beichen was well aware of this person.

Professors at Imperial Capital University, none of them were idle. And to become a vice principal, Zhou Hualan naturally had significant academic achievements as well.

However, he had vaguely heard that Zhou Hualan was opposed to Professor Qian's theories back in the day and was one of those publicly humiliated by Professor Qian.

Lin Beichen was worried that if Zhou Hualan acted against Professor Qian because of his own matters, the old professor, given his current health, might not be able to withstand it.

As Lin Beichen was pondering this, Professor Qian had already noticed Zhou Hualan.

"What are you doing here?"

Professor Qian asked coldly.

Zhou Hualan stood beside the student council, glancing at the few who were pretending to be aggrieved, and said indifferently:

"Old man, these are just kids. I was the one who let them join the student council. Can't you give me some face?"

Hearing this, the student council members almost burst into tears.

Finally, someone said a good word for the student council.

Ever since Lin Beichen caused trouble, they had almost constantly been berated.

In the past, who would dare treat them like this?

"Are you Lin Beichen?"

Zhou Hualan looked at Lin Beichen and said indifferently.

Lin Beichen nodded.

"Professor Zhou."

Addressing him as "professor" but not as "vice principal"?

Zhou Hualan was slightly taken aback, a hint of deeper meaning flashing in his eyes.

"Professor Qian, is this young man your student?"

Zhou Hualan turned to Professor Qian, not wanting to pay any more attention to Lin Beichen.

Without Professor Qian's support, he didn't believe Lin Beichen would dare be so rude to him.

Professor Qian looked at Lin Beichen, his aged face revealing a hint of a smile.

"Young man, I am already old and no longer take on students, but since this old fart mentioned it, I'll ask you: do you want to be my student?"

This sentence stunned everyone at the scene.

Everyone stared at Lin Beichen dumbfounded, their eyes full of shock.

But more shocked than them was Zhou Hualan.

Professor Qian never took on students.

Even when he returned from abroad, he only taught in the country.

Many claimed to be Professor Qian's students, but he never acknowledged any of them.

And Lin Beichen wasn't Professor Qian's student?

Zhou Hualan quickly looked at Lin Beichen, just about to say something, when he saw Lin Beichen's face showing an apologetic smile.

"Professor Qian, I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own plans."

Lin Beichen said, actually rejecting Professor Qian's offer.

"You brat, do you know what you just did?"

Lin Beichen had just finished speaking when Zhou Hualan became even angrier.

"I order you to accept Professor Qian's offer."

Zhou Hualan roared.

Professor Qian was already old but had never had a student.

In academic matters, whether one has students isn't crucial.

This isn't a martial arts story where after taking a disciple, one can pass on all cultivation techniques, turning the disciple into a martial arts master instantly.

But taking a disciple signifies a form of authority and inheritance.

If Professor Qian were to die and Lin Beichen became his student, it would mean inheriting his authority.

From then on, even without Professor Qian, Imperial Capital University could still rely on his reputation.

However, Lin Beichen remained calm, even a little lazy.

"Professor Qian, I truly respect you, but I don't want to be tied down by you. I'm not interested in your research at all."

Lin Beichen said.
