Since he made a bet with the Pure Heart Saint, Jiang Li did not intend to just muddle along and bully a group of juniors under the age of twenty-five to get first place. Instead, he wanted to surpass the Pure Heart Saint and win the first place!
Not to fight an unprepared battle, the first thing Jiang Li did was read the reference books for the entrance examination, but the result left him speechless.
He remembered that when he entered school five hundred years ago, the reference books were all widely circulated books in Kyushu, such as "Introduction to Monks", "Prospects of Cultivation", "On Kyushu Customs" and so on.
Now it is "General Guidelines for Cultivation (by Jiang Li)", "Three Thousand Questions for Cultivation (by Jiang Li)", "Cultivation of Immortality is Cultivation of the Mind (by Jiang Li)" and "General Guidelines for Cultivation (Annotated Edition)"
"Of the ten reference books, eight were written by me myself, and the remaining two are comments about my books?!"
"Those who know think I am an honorary graduate of the college, and those who don't know think I am the exam teacher." Jiang Li complained.
After he reached the Mahayana stage, his understanding of cultivation became more and more profound, and he compiled some of his insights into books for monks to learn from.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with the college's approach. Anyone who has practiced to the integration stage has a systematic understanding of practice. For example, Saint Pure Heart, her understanding of practice has surpassed that of the dean of the college.
Without theoretical support and a little knowledge of the cultivation methods, it is impossible to practice to the integration stage, let alone the tribulation stage and the Mahayana stage. Their understanding of cultivation is close to the truth.
It is reasonable for the academy to choose a book written by Jiang Li, a Mahayana scholar.
Of course, practice is practice. If you ask Jiang Li to write about how to make elixirs and weapons, I'm sorry, he is illiterate and can't write a book.
"How can we still lose?" Jiang Li was already thinking about what conditions to offer to the Saint of Pure Heart.
…
On the day of the exam, Jiang Li came to the exam room with confidence. When he saw the test paper, he felt that he was stable.
For example, this question asks "What is the definition of cultivation in "General Guide to Cultivation"?" "Jiang Renhuang's Essays (Excerpt)" begins with the words, 'It has been raining heavily for several days, and it finally cleared up today.' Why did the author write this? What does the sentence express?”
The definition of cultivation? This is too simple for Jiang Li. As soon as he started writing, he wrote that the so-called cultivation refers to the process by which living beings gradually become stronger by absorbing spiritual energy, nurturing their bodies.
"It's sunny today?" Jiang Li muttered, remembering the original situation. It was the rainy season, and there was a lot of rain. The sun didn't see the sun for several days. Finally, it cleared up one day. Jiang Li thought the weather was good, so he wrote down his thoughts. .
In addition, the test paper asked, if a sixth-level qi-training monk with golden spiritual roots met an eighth-level qi-training monk with water, fire, and wood spiritual roots in the woods, how could the former defeat the latter.
It also gave the time, what the weather was like, the density of spiritual energy, etc., and also explained that the two monks were both standard monks, which meant that they had no special blood constitution, no special skills, etc.
This kind of question that tests the practical ability is also very easy for Jiang Li. He can easily write down several ways to defeat the strong with the weak.
"Yeah, perfect!" Jiang Li was very satisfied with his answer, and he was the first to hand in the paper.
The deputy dean in charge of invigilating the exam heard that someone had submitted the exam paper in advance, so he looked at Jiang Li's exam paper and smiled.
"A good seedling has come this year. He is active in thinking and not limited to books. He is also very bold in battle. He knows how to use the enemy's psychology. He is also outspoken in reading and comprehension. Good, good!"
The vice-dean said three good words in a row, obviously very satisfied with this Kong Li student.
"Well, someone has handed in another paper so soon. Jiang Jingxin was already a celebrity before he entered school."
"Yes, she has a profound knowledge base. This year, there were a lot of off-topic questions, which were found in the reference book. She was able to remember them. It's good, it's good."
…
"How did the exam go?" After Jiang Li left the examination room, the Pure Heart Saint came out shortly after. Jiang Li joked upon seeing this.
The Pure Heart Saint smiled lightly, revealing her two dimples, which were so cute that the teachers passing by were distracted and bumped into the wall.
Fortunately, the teacher is stronger than the wall. Unfortunately, the wall is not the teacher.
"I've already thought about what I want you to do." Saint Purity's smile revealed a sense of confidence, which even made Jiang Li laugh.
"I've already thought about what I want you to do."
"We'll see?"
"We'll see."
…
On the day the exam results were announced, a friendly notification tone came from the system.
[Host task failed]
"???"
Jiang Li stood blankly in front of the candidate ranking list, squatting down to see his name.
Kong Li, the last one.
The Pure Heart Saint stands out among the crowd. Her noble temperament makes countless people feel ashamed and take the initiative to keep a certain distance from her.
She also saw her name.
Jiang Jingxin, first.
The Saint of Pure Heart lightly covered her mouth, which looked like surprise to others, but she actually saw Jiang Li's ranking and tried hard not to laugh out loud.
No, my stomach hurts.
I am a combined monk, and my concentration must be strong.
The Human Emperor came last in the exam for his own book, but he couldn't, and he couldn't bear it any longer.
Hahahaha, so funny.
After some inner struggle, the Pure Heart Saint finally stopped herself from laughing.
"Just laugh if you want."
Jiang Li had an expressionless look on his face as he looked at the gloating look of Saint Pure Heart.
"I didn't laugh...Pfft...Hahahaha, you have today too."
"There must be something wrong somewhere." Jiang Li analyzed the reason rationally, "Let's go and settle the score with the dean... and ask if the judgment was wrong."
The dean of the college, surnamed Li, is responsible for judging the papers for this year's exam.
Dean Li stood on the high stand, scanning to see if there were any good seeds this year.
Speaking of which, the student named Jiang Jingxin is very good and could be his student.
"Dean, someone is looking for you below."
"who?"
"It's Jiang Jingxin, who is the number one positive this year, and Kong Li, who is the last number one. They said you made a mistake."
Dean Li snorted heavily with his nose, feeling a little unhappy.
It was ridiculous that he would make mistakes. He had an impression of Jiang Jingxin and Kong Li. Jiang Jingxin's test paper was perfect, but Kong Li's test paper was a mess.
"Let them come up and tell them where I went wrong in front of everyone?"
If only the last one comes to Dean Li, then Dean Li will definitely not pay attention to him, but if the last one and the first one come to Dean Li together, then he will treat him well.
I just happened to talk about this matter publicly in the stands to establish an authoritative image for those students who have not yet entered school.
"You are Jiang Jingxin, right? You are good-looking, your handwriting is slender, and your test papers are also very good." Dean Li treated Saint Jingxin kindly, and deliberately spoke loudly to attract the attention of the students below.
, as for Kong Li, who was ranked last, I didn’t see it.
"That's Jiang Jingxin? She's so beautiful."
"Yes, yes, even a girl like me is moved when I see it."
"Who is that person next to her? His face doesn't look good."
"do not know."
"Dean Li, my name is Kong Li, and I think your paper may have been misjudged."
Jiang Li took the initiative to speak out.
He also knows Dean Li. Every time he comes to the college to give a lecture, Dean Li receives him and treats him with great respect.
