"Okay! You are worthy of being a student of our Yun Kingdom's Guoxue Palace. You have great talents and great ambitions. If you are allowed to go to the Three Realms Mountains, I believe you will be able to make outstanding contributions to the human race."
Fan Heshan was very happy after hearing what Du Ning said, and he admired Du Ning even more. After all, there are not many scholars like Du Ning nowadays.
Then he said to Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue: "And you two little friends, it is the blessing of the human race and the common people to have heroes like you."
"I would like to share the worries of the human race." Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue said in unison.
"The Holy Court will definitely live up to you."
Fan Heshan said: "After the trials of the various countries are over, the Holy Academy will carefully select experienced people based on the results of this trial. After the spring of next year, the Holy Academy will send great scholars to evacuate the ancient places in the Three Realms Mountains.
Restriction, even if the Holy Court really chooses you to go for training, you still have enough preparation time. Of course, if you are unable to go for other reasons, the Holy Court will not force you. You don’t have to be too burdened.
Just concentrate on preparing for tomorrow’s trial.”
"Students know." The three nodded lightly.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore and take my leave."
Fan Heshan drank the last cup of tea, then handed over to the three of them, stood up and left.
The three of them immediately bowed and said goodbye.
"Farewell to Mr. Heshan."
Fan Heshan left the dormitory.
…………
The first day of November.
The students gathered in the square of the Holy Academy. The place was already crowded with tens of thousands of people coming to visit.
In addition to the vast open space, there are also many scholars from aristocratic families standing in many attics, all of whom are paying attention to this year's trials of the nations.
Every year's trials of various countries are taken very seriously by the literary circles of various countries.
Especially students of historians will record what happened today at any time.
After students from various countries entered the arena, there was a very heated discussion.
"Look! That's Du Ning, a student from the Yun Kingdom, the first genius in history to be astonished by the Twelve Tiles!"
"I heard that he came from a poor family. It is not easy for him to reach the stage of becoming famous all over the world. He should be a role model for our generation of scholars!"
"I particularly like the sentence he wrote yesterday, 'Reading for the rise of China,' which made my literary courage reach a second level in an instant."
"Master Du's ambition is as high as the sky and majestic. I am willing to follow his ambition and study for the rise of China."
"Same wish!"
Many readers laughed out loud, and most people were discussing Duning intensely.
The disciples of the Confucius family who participated in the trial, led by Kong Chengyun, were extremely angry. Every year in the trials of various countries, the most discussed topic among the audience was the Confucius family. But this year everything changed. Du Ning became the subject of heated discussion among scholars from various countries. Some people shouted Du Ning's name, some respectfully addressed him as Master Du, and some silently bowed to Du Ning as a disciple.

"That's Tian Feipeng, our student from Jingguo. He is Du Ning's classmate. Together with Fu Yue from Pingguo, he is one of the three outstanding Jinshi scholars!"
"Three Outstanding Scholars? What a good title! What a blessing it is to be able to live with Du Ning!"
"They are called Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue, right? I remember them, and I will definitely ask them for advice if I have the opportunity in the future."
In addition to Du Ning, Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue have also become a topic of conversation for most people, especially the people of Jingguo and Pingguo. In order to make Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue famous, they have been emphasizing the nickname "Three Heroes of Jinshi", which makes Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue famous.
Yue's name became more widely spread.
This made Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue's expressions even more serious. The so-called "Three Excellent Scholars" were just made fun of by the scholars in the Holy Academy on a whim. In terms of real talent, they are not as famous as Du Ning.
Although it is a good thing to have a strong literary reputation, if you are not worthy of such a good reputation, you will easily be used by others to ridicule, ridicule, or even maliciously slander you.
"Brother Tian, Brother Fu, I wish you good results."
"Brother Du, you don't have to be polite. Today we each have our own country, so we must have a good fight."
"I won't let you."
The three of them exchanged polite words and then went to their respective camps.
Du Ning came to the venue representing the Yun Kingdom. There were only five other Yun Kingdom students who came to participate in the trial, and they all surrendered to Du Ning.
"I have met the Marquis of Zhenguo."
"I've met Brother Du."
"You're welcome."
Du Ning immediately returned the gift. These Yunguo students also participated in yesterday's literary meeting, and their performance in the literary and courageous part was also very good.
"Today's trial is about bringing glory to the country, so I ask you to work hard with me," Du Ning said.
"We should do our best to live up to everyone's expectations."
"Brother Du, don't worry. Although our talents are far inferior to yours, we will never hold you back."
"I am willing to advance and retreat together with the marquis of Zhenguo."
The students of Yun State are also full of confidence.
Not far away, Ke Hongwei and others glanced at Du Ning. Their fighting spirit was fierce in their eyes, and they vowed to defeat Yun Guo in today's trial and let the Ke family regain their place.
Kong Chengyun and others on the other side had sneers on their faces. The Trial of Nations is a test for the elites selected from each country. The performance will directly affect the ranking of each country in the Holy Academy. This is among the nations.
Literary competition between countries is also an activity to win glory for the country. If you want to make the country rank high, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of one person.
Du Ning's personal ability deserves recognition, but it is impossible for other students in Yun State to be that good.
But Kong Chengyun and the others are different. They are elite students of the Holy Family. The Holy Family has always been ranked among the best in the trials of various countries.
Therefore, Kong Chengyun is confident that he can beat Du Ning and even better Yun Guo in this aspect.
Du Ning is also paying attention to the actions of the Kong family and the Ke family, and can feel the different looks they cast.
There were also Kong Yu, Kong Chengan, Kong Chengmo and others in the audience. They also looked at Du Ning very coldly, with a sneer on their lips.

It seems that today's trial will be a very fierce competition. The higher the ranking of a country, the more rewards it will receive from the Holy Academy.
After the students from all countries had arrived, Xia Jianghuai arrived at the center of the venue on his smooth steps.
"Xia Jianghuai has met all the literary friends from all countries. Welcome everyone to come and watch the grand gathering of students from all countries. I have been ordered by the Holy Academy to preside over this year's trial."
Xia Jianghuai bowed to all directions, and then said to the students participating in the trial: "The first trial is endorsement. You are required to read a hundred books with different contents within two hours, including not only the works of saints, but
There are works, as well as classics about the history of all walks of life within the Holy Forest Continent, as well as many astronomical and geographical knowledge, the contents of which are all-encompassing. The test of this trial is your memory as scholars, as much as you can memorize. Now, please invite the Holy Spirit
A letter from the hospital."
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of books flew from the library of the Holy Academy, divided into more than a hundred parts, and neatly stacked in front of each student's desk. Each book had a different thickness.
.
Many people couldn't help but take a deep breath. Jinshi has the ability to have an unforgettable memory, but it is obviously impossible to read a hundred books and write down the contents within the specified time.
No matter how powerful the Jinshi's memory was, he couldn't memorize it within two hours, so Xia Jianghuai said he could memorize as much as he could.
One hundred books is just a measure.
The students of the Confucius family instantly showed a proud smile. They are all descendants of the Holy Family and naturally like to read and memorize. This kind of test is more difficult for others, but it is nothing to them.
They can't finish a hundred books.
But it is still possible to recite 70 to 80% of it.
As for other Jinshi students, it is already very good to be able to memorize five or six achievements.
"Damn, what I hate most is endorsement, especially this kind of rote memorization test."
"For me, it's good to be able to read a hundred books in two hours. As for memorizing the content, two hours is far from enough."
"I like reading, but I hate memorizing..."
Before the reading competition even started, some students sighed.
Some students are extremely proud and confident, and for them endorsements are actually a strength.
Someone prepared two sticks of incense in the center of the venue, and one stick of incense takes about an hour.
All the students immediately sat down and prepared to start
Kong Chengyun cast a mocking look at Du Ning, thinking that he was very happy to be able to defeat Du Ning in the first trial.
As the first incense stick was lit, Xia Jianghuai issued the command: "Start."
Everyone immediately picked up the first book in front of them and started
The first book is "Huang Qianzheng Collection". The author of this book is named "Huang Qian". The content recorded in it is his experience as an official in Qi State when he was young. The experience is very rich.
Du Ning held the book in his left hand and turned the pages with his right hand. He could see all the contents at a glance. Whatever he read, the words in it seemed to come alive and penetrated into Du Ning's mind.< /p>
With the next breath, Du Ning quickly turned the page.
Then there was another breath, and Du Ning turned the page again.
As long as he has read the content, Du Ning can quickly understand it and put it into his literary palace, forming a book that emits brilliance like a star.
Others are Jinshi and can do ten lines at a time, or even a page at a time, but it takes time for them to read, understand the content, and even more time to memorize.
If you want to memorize a book, the best way is to understand the content in the book.
Therefore, even if other students have the ability to read at a page and have an unforgettable memory, they must be based on simultaneous understanding. If they cannot understand, it will be difficult to remember that knowledge point.
But Du Ning is different. His Wen Gong can directly incorporate the information in the books. Even if it cannot be understood at the moment, it can be stored in it and pondered over later.
Reading quickly will not affect Du Ning's learning progress.
So at this point, Du Ning's endorsement ability is far better than other students, and he can turn to the next page almost instantly.
"Why is Duning so fast? Can he really memorize the content at a glance?"
Tian Feipeng was very surprised and said, although he and Du Ning were roommates in the Holy Courtyard and he knew Du Ning somewhat, but this wave of operations by Du Ning made him really confused.
"Even if he can memorize books at a glance, it's not just a matter of memorizing a few books, but as many as he can memorize out of a hundred books!"
Fu Yue was also very surprised and couldn't believe what he saw.
If Du Ning can really recite it at a glance, it would be enough to say that Du Ning is a genius that only happens once in a thousand years in the human race.
If he was just pretending and just taking a cursory tour, then Duning would definitely lose the first trial.
"This reading speed is simply too amazing. Even among the many students present, who are known as the geniuses of Jinshi in various countries, no one can read as fast as Du Ning."
"I suspect that Duning just visited once and may not be able to remember the content in the book."
"That's right! No matter how good his qualifications are and how powerful his memory is, he can't be that exaggerated!"
When many students saw Du Ning flipping through the book as quickly as if he had a falling out, they were very shocked and even couldn't believe it.
Even Kong Chengyun, Ke Hongwei and others did not believe that Du Ning could understand the contents of the book at a glance and forcefully memorized it.
"I don't believe that Du Ning can be so talented as a scholar. Even a great scholar cannot do it so quickly. He must be eager for success, but he will definitely make mistakes in reciting!"
Kong Chengyun couldn't help but sneered, his tone full of contempt.
The other Confucius students also smiled and felt much relieved, finally seeing a glimmer of hope that they could defeat Du Ning.
"Brother Chengyun's words are very true. Although Du Ning can read quickly, he may not be able to memorize the contents. He will definitely lose this trial, and Yun Guo's ranking will be at the bottom because of this." p>
Ke Hongwei's face was overjoyed, and he did not doubt Kong Chengyun's analysis at all. After all, Kong Chengyun was a student of the Confucius family and an elite among the Confucian scholars. It was absolutely impossible for him to be so short-sighted.
The Liao students raised their heads slightly and were very proud, thinking that they were already sure of this round.
They talk, but in fact they are doing two things at once, still reading their own books.
"You guys, please don't speak too early. If you can't do something yourself, why do you think that Du Ning can't do it?" Tian Feipeng couldn't help but retort.
"Haha..."
After Kong Chengyun, Ke Hongwei and others heard this sentence, they couldn't help laughing.
In the auditorium, Kong Chengan asked Kong Yu next to him very persistently: "Uncle Kong Yu, do you think Du Ning is really that powerful? He can write down what he has seen with just one glance.
?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Kong Yu ridiculed: "The skill of endorsing lies in understanding the content and meaning of the book. If you don't know the content and meaning of the book, you will easily forget it even if you write down the content of the book. Du Ning is just a Confucian scholar, not a great Confucian.
It's simply impossible to do such a ridiculous thing, so don't worry too much. In today's trial of nations, Duning will definitely lose!"
After hearing Kong Yu's words, Kong Chengan showed a slightly relieved smile.
