Chapter 319 Four against four, a small test, a complete victory!
After the false alarm, she began to annotate the text in the book using simplified Chinese characters. Through a combination of guesswork and deduction, she was able to translate about 80% of the content.
She then sent the translated text and the original text to Mao Li, who analyzed and compared the two languages, and finally completed 95% of the translation.
Zuo Shan hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should send the translated content to Meng's father.
It wasn't that she was stingy, but after Mao Li reminded her, she realized that her ability to recognize traditional Chinese characters was a miracle in itself, and it was impossible to explain to outsiders.
Most importantly, even if it was translated, she still couldn't understand it.
It's like an elementary school student getting a college textbook. He might recognize each word individually, but when they're put together, he can't understand them at all.
After much deliberation, Zuo Shan decided to have A Chen show the translation results to Meng Rui, but only the two of them would know about it.
He also told Meng Rui that this was an elder of his family who happened to recognize the script, and that he had promised to keep it a secret and would never reveal the elder's name.
Although Ah Chen was young, he realized that his mother's ability to use traditional Chinese characters should not be known to outsiders, so he nodded in agreement.
The next day after school, he took Meng Rui to a secluded corner, handed him the translated electronic document, and asked him to keep it a secret.
Actually, Achen had also read this book, but he couldn't understand it either.
However, after studying the book for half the night, Meng Rui was able to understand it.
He deduced the contents of the book from a mathematical perspective, and then he discovered that this book, "The Wuji Formation Diagram," was actually something profound and unfathomable.
Through precise calculations and with the aid of some simple mediums, a formation can be set up to achieve either defense, attack, or a combination of both.
Just as his ancestors had said, one man could fight against ten or even a hundred.
Of course, such a large-scale formation cannot be deduced overnight.
He chose a relatively simple team battle formation – the Four Symbols Trapping Dragon Formation.
This is a formation consisting of four people. When one person is attacked, the other three can provide assistance, thus restraining the enemy.
When one person takes the initiative to attack the enemy, the other three can also help him withstand attacks from the other three sides, so that the main attacker has no worries and can exert his strongest attack ability.
Once you master the basic footwork of this formation, you will definitely be able to achieve victory against overwhelming odds.
Only after Meng Rui translated his understanding into plain and easy-to-understand language did the full picture of the book truly come to light.
He didn't hold back at all, and directly forwarded his understanding and insights to Achen.
Ah Chen shared his friend's Cantonese translation with his mother, and Zuo Shan couldn't help but gasp in amazement after reading it:
Are all child prodigies these days so extraordinary? Something that an adult like her couldn't understand at all, Meng Rui, a preschool child who is not even seven years old, could understand.
If this child were alive today, he would definitely be a child prodigy. He could probably become a mathematician at the age of seven.
Meng Rui shared the main points of the Four Symbols Dragon Trapping Formation with his friends without reservation. The four of them practiced it repeatedly for three days after class and had already fully mastered the essence of the formation.
On the fourth day of combat training, when the teacher had everyone form teams to practice fighting techniques, Meng Rui seized the opportunity to ask, "Teacher, can we choose to form groups of four to spar with other students?"
"Four people in a group? Hahaha! Are you planning to win by outnumbering the weak?" Wright, the oldest kid in the class, laughed disdainfully.
“No, it’s four against four. You can choose any four people to form a team.” Meng Rui’s eyes were full of provocation.
"You think you can beat them to a pulp in a one-on-one fight? Do you think you can avoid getting beaten up in a four-on-four?" Wright looked at him like he was an idiot.
“It’s four against four, so tell me if you dare or not?” Meng Rui said.
"Haha! I wouldn't dare? Don't even mention four against four, even if it's four against three, we can still beat you all down with just three of you!" Wright laughed even more wildly.
“Since both sides are willing, I agree to you playing four against four,” said Hengjiang, the combat instructor.
He actually felt that these four kids had been beaten up quite badly recently, but since they were able to stand out from the first-year students and advance to the second year ahead of time, it meant that they would go faster, higher, and farther than others in the future.
Every batch of new students has one or two outstanding ones, and this batch has four of them, which is very gratifying for any teacher.
However, for a promising seedling to grow into a towering tree, it must inevitably put in more effort and endure more pain than others.
Therefore, Teacher Hengjiang chose to stand by and not stand up for them or discipline the older children who were bullying them.
Getting beaten up gives you more motivation, doesn't it?
Although Teacher Hengjiang didn't know what Meng Rui was up to, he guessed that the four little ones must have found some way to win.
He's waiting to see!
Wright was so provoked by Meng Rui that he completely lost his mind. These days, he often looked for opportunities to beat up these four little ones. Among them, only Kong Lingling and Zuo Chen had the strength to fight back against him; the other two could only take the beating.
Therefore, Wright did not take Meng Rui's provocation seriously at all. He randomly selected three older children: 8-year-old Pang Taining, 9-year-old Fast, and 7-year-old Lorna.
Lorna was a young girl he specifically chose. The reason he chose her was not out of kindness, but to put on a show so that people wouldn't think they were just overpowering each other because of their age.
In fact, Lorna was also one of the geniuses, advancing from first grade to second grade in just three months after enrolling.
Unfortunately, her talent for superpowers was too poor. After entering the second year, her superpowers stagnated, remaining at the second level and unable to break through to the third level, so she could not advance to the third year.
However, Lorna is very strong in combat and always gets an A grade in the monthly exams, so choosing her may seem like a concession, but it is actually the strongest lineup.
The battle began quickly. Lorna made the first move, choosing Tsuzaki Kaori, who was the weakest in both physique and fighting ability, hoping to defeat her first and create an opening.
In fact, Tsuzaki Kaori was always the first to be knocked down during one-on-one combat training, and unlike the other three, she did not persevere and get up again and again until the training time ended.
However, this time, Lorna miscalculated. Tsuzaki Kaori did not retreat as she expected, and when her iron fist slammed down on her small face.
Two fists were extended from the left and right at the same time, striking her on the left and right sides of her ribs respectively.
Lorna let out a scream, took a few steps back, and clutched her stomach, unable to stand up for a long time.
At the same time, seeing that things were not going well, Wright raised his leg and kicked Meng Rui in the face. Meng Rui bent down to dodge, but the two fists that had just hurt Lorna silently appeared again in Wright's lower back.
Wright's body first flew upwards, then crashed heavily to the ground, the pain so intense he almost thought his kidneys were going to rupture.
They took care of the two most vicious of the four in one go, and the remaining two naturally panicked.
Ah Chen smiled and said, "That was just a warm-up defense; now it's our turn to take the initiative."
He launched a flying kick into the stomach of the short and stocky Pang Taining, who, in mid-air, changed his posture in pain and slammed his fists down at the weakest of the three, Tsuzaki Kaori.
This little girl was knocked down by him with one punch on their very first day of sparring and never got up again.
However, at that moment, Tsuzaki Kaori suddenly bent over backwards to avoid his iron fist, while Meng Rui took advantage of the momentum of his slam and jumped up, stomping hard on his buttocks.
Pang Taining fell face-first into the mud, and Tsuzaki Kaori seized the opportunity to deliver an elbow strike to the back of his neck, causing Pang Taining to instantly lose consciousness.
Last but not least, the tall, thin Fast, seeing his companions all defeated, had already lost his will to fight. Just as he was about to shout "I give up!", he was hit by both fists and both feet at the same time.
Immediately following, a barrage of punches and kicks rained down, and it took him a great deal of effort to find an opportunity to get his mouth out of range of the attacks.
A loud "Wah!" was heard, and Wright, who hadn't fainted yet, shouted through the pain, "We give up!"
