302NO.9 Bai Jian, Qinglong Bar Incident_1
```
Topology was inherently difficult and wasn't something they were supposed to encounter at their current stage of learning.
But Tongfeng's class was originally composed of students from the national team; most of them started taking college courses in high school, and Academician Ma's thinking already reached the limits of human intellect, as his research on multidimensional topology had long surpassed ordinary imagination.
No one was involved in exactly the same vein of research as Academician Ma, not even President Huang, who was only following a derivative path. The complexity of multidimensional topology was no less challenging than cracking a code on the first try.
The problems Academician Ma left them with were not simple point-set topology exercises.
Without specialized guidance, a week was not enough for most students in Tongfeng's class to digest a single lecture from him, which is why the gap between those with external assistance and those without was evident.
