Du Ning quickly finished reading the first book and started reading the second book, while other Jinshi only read half of the first book.
Many people are wondering whether Duning actually memorized a book or just took a cursory tour.
Some people even think that Duning is just showing up to influence other people's minds.
Some students cursed in their hearts. Regardless of whether Du Ning was really able to memorize books so quickly, or whether he was pretending to do so on purpose, it still put some psychological pressure on others.
The students from Yun State were also worried about whether Du Ning was really endorsing his endorsement seriously or was just showing off, but they didn't dare to say a word and could only concentrate on reading the books in their hands.
Kong Chengyun saw from the corner of his eye that Du Ning's speed of flipping through the book had not slowed down at all, and he believed in his analysis even more. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he thought that Du Ning would never be able to read every page at the same time.
It is unforgettable, so Du Ning must have only glanced at it briefly, making everyone think that Du Ning can really memorize what he has seen.
Ke Hongwei also had the same idea as Kong Chengyun and did not believe that Du Ning could do such a ridiculous thing.
Not to mention these people, even Xia Jianghuai, the host, couldn't believe it.
It's just that as the host, he can't say much. Whether Du Ning is cheating or he really has such abilities that far exceed ordinary people, we can see the result in the next trial.
Tian Feipeng and Fu Yue had no time to worry about Du Ning. Although they were Du Ning's roommates, in order to bring glory to their country, they had to put this friendship aside and fight against Du Ning as opponents.
Compete for superiority.
The fifth book Du Ning read was "Xinglin Medical Theory", which is a classic written by medical scientists. It records very rich medical concepts. It will be difficult for readers who are not involved in medical skills to understand the articles in it.
The eighth book is "The Complete Works of Farming", which records a lot of knowledge about farming.
Du Ning came from a poor family and already knew how to grow some crops, so books like this were even more difficult for him.
The fourteenth volume is "Diwei Quanjuan", which records the geographical environment, climate, etc. of various countries and regions in the Holy Forest Continent.

The twenty-eighth book is "Travel Notes of Diving in the East China Sea". It is about a half-saint from the human race who disguised himself and defeated the demons for ten years. It records the characteristics and living habits of various demons in the East China Sea. It is an important work for humans to understand the demons.
Time passes minute by minute.
Du Ning's reading speed remained undiminished. He finished reading nearly half of the books in less than half an hour, while others had memorized more than ten books, forming a very sharp contrast.
The entire audience let out bursts of exclamations. Some people couldn't believe it, some people made assumptions, and some people were very disapproving and pretended to have seen through Du Ning's trick.
The more books Du Ning read, the more Kong Chengyun and others thought that Du Ning was showing off, the happier they felt, and the more sarcastic the smile on his lips became.
"In my opinion, this Du Ning is just like that. How can he have the ability to memorize so many books in such a short time? His purpose of doing this is just a psychological tactic to save his ridiculous face.
."
"That's right! Even though Du Ning is a genius from the Yun Kingdom, he can't be too talented. Even if he has some talent in endorsements, he can't be as much as a Jinshi."
"Look, Du Ning has already read half of the books. It will take another half an hour to memorize the remaining books."
"Ridiculous! Do you think Du Ning is really endorsing it? He is simply browsing. You have all been deceived by his pretense."
There was a discussion among the audience, and everyone had different opinions.
However, Xia Jianghuai did not remind everyone to quiet down. It can be seen that he acquiesced in the audience's creation of such a noisy atmosphere, which further tested the students' concentration when studying.
After burning a stick of incense, Du Ning read all the books.
Most students from other countries have only finished one-third of the book. Even Kong Chengyun, a student headed by the Kong family, has only memorized thirty-four books.
Ke Hongwei memorized thirty books, which was not as many as Kong Chengyun.
Kong Chengyun and Ke Hongwei were very happy, thinking that Du Ning read too quickly and could not memorize all 100 books. They already had a chance to win.
Du Ning glanced around and saw that everyone was still working hard to endorse. Then he looked at the time left to burn a stick of incense and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Du Ning started from the first book
Du Ning wants to read it again to strengthen his understanding of the book and better remember its contents.
"I knew he was just showing off!"
Kong Chengyun laughed and cast an extremely contemptuous look at Du Ning. When he saw Du Ning reading the book again, his assumptions and guesses were confirmed.
"Du Ning, you pretended to be so good that we all mistakenly thought you could memorize a hundred books, but you just pretended too much, so you couldn't deceive us." Ke Hongwei sneered.
"It's because your speed is too slow."
Du Ning flipped through the book quickly while speaking calmly.
"It's ridiculous! Don't think that you really have such a strong memory. You can deceive others, but you can't deceive us." Ke Hongwei said confidently.
"I don't like to lie to people, especially guys like you who can only talk quickly." Du Ning said with a smile.
"Tough talk!"
Ke Hongwei cursed angrily and then ignored Du Ning.
Du Ning stopped paying attention to other people and immersed himself in the pleasure of reading books.
Before you know it, another hour has passed.
"Time's up."
Xia Jianghuai warned.
All the students immediately put down their books.
Now there are two piles of books on the left and right sides of every student, one pile is the books that have been memorized, and the other pile is the books that have not yet been memorized.
Judging from the current situation, Confucian students have memorized the most books, with an average number of seventy.
Students of the Ke family have endorsed more than 60 books on average, second only to students of the Confucius family.
There are more or less students from other countries, but none are as good as students from the Ke family and Confucius family.
In addition to Du Ning, the number of endorsements by other people in Yun State is more than 60 and less than 70.
But if you include the 100 books that Duning has memorized, the average will increase to about 80.
However, almost no one present believed that Duning could memorize a hundred books in such a short time.
Kong Cheng'an, Ke Hongwei and others looked at him with smiling faces, deciding that Du Ning could not memorize more books than them, so they naturally thought that Du Ning had lost.
"Okay!"
Kong Chengmo in the audience was excited and couldn't help shouting: "My Kong family students have the highest average number of memorized books. Our Kong family won the first game!"
"The Kong family will win!" Kong Chengan shouted.
"The Kong family will win! The Kong family will win!"
Many scholars who supported the Confucian family also shouted.
A Liao man laughed and said: "Although the students of Liao have not memorized as many books as the students of Confucius, they are also the team with the most endorsements besides the students of Confucius. Our country is also among the best in this competition. I won't say anything if we must win."
Yes, but we have to cheer for them."
"Come on Liao! Come on Liao!"
Many people in the Liao Kingdom shouted loudly that it was not shameful to lose to the Confucian students, but they were even more happy to defeat the Yun Kingdom.
"The country of Yun will win! The country of Yun will win!"
Not to be outdone, the Youyun people shouted, and they suddenly became the object of ridicule by many people.
"Haha... what are you talking about? Your country of Yun is ranked fourth or fifth at most, not even as good as the country of Liao, and yet you still shout slogans of victory. It's really funny."
"Hmph! Who said that we, the Yun State, are destined to lose? I believe that our Yun State students will definitely win. Even if we are not among the best, we will never lose to the Liao State." The Yun State man who shouted the slogan said confidently.
"Do you think Du Ning can really memorize a hundred books? Ridiculous! You have all been deceived by him."
"The results of this competition have not been announced yet. How can you conclude that our Yun Kingdom will definitely lose? Until the results come out, it is unknown who will lose and who will win."
"Haha..."
Many scholars burst into laughter.
Especially the scholars from the Confucius family and the Liao Dynasty laughed so unscrupulously.
This made many Yun people feel very unhappy, but they were not sure whether Du Ning was endorsing or just browsing, so even if they wanted to refute, they didn't have much confidence.
Xia Jianghuai looked at Du Ning and asked, "How many books have you memorized during this period?"
Du Ning responded: "Mr. Xia, the student read each book twice and memorized it all."
Xia Jianghuai had a look of shock on his face and could hardly believe his ears. If it weren't for the fact that this was a trial for all nations, he would have even couldn't help scolding Du Ning for daring to lie in broad daylight.
The Confucian and Ke family students shut their mouths instantly. They looked at each other and couldn't believe that Du Ning could memorize a hundred books.
"Impossible!"
Kong Chengmo was a little angry and said loudly: "Du Ning, you are so presumptuous! How dare you make such arrogant remarks in public? You said you memorized a hundred books? Who do you think you are? Even a great scholar cannot do this.
Memorizing so many books in such a short period of time, what do you mean by just being a Jinshi!"
"You are so arrogant. You dare to humiliate a Jinshi student in the Holy Court. Who gave you the courage to be so arrogant? Do you not take the Holy Court seriously?" Xia Jianghuai shouted sharply.
Kong Chengmo's expression changed and he hurriedly shut up. He was used to being domineering, so he couldn't help scolding Du Ning.
Kong Yu on the side said hurriedly: "Mr. Xia, Chengmo just said something in a moment of excitement, please forgive me."
Du Ning stepped in and said, "Mr.
As soon as this statement came out, many people changed their minds.
This is simply a satire on the lack of knowledge of Confucian scholars!
Du Ning is so bold!
"What did you say!"
"Are you looking down on our Kong family!"
"Du Ning, you are brave!"
Many Kong family members stood up and glared at Du Ning.
"Sit down!"
Xia Jianghuai shouted loudly, and the powerful literary power surged out instantly, making those Confucius students feel as if a stone was pressing on their chests, and they had to sit back again.
"What are you doing? Do you want to cause a scene at the trial of various nations?"
Xia Jianghuai warned: "Whether he is from the Holy Family or a child from a poor family, any scholar before this Holy Academy is a student of Confucius and should be treated with the most basic respect. If you dare to insult me again, don't blame me.
I will expel you from the venue!"
The Kong family was immediately furious. They were the masters of Kong City. If they were expelled from the venue in the Holy Courtyard, the entire Holy Family would become a joke to the human race.
Kongcheng belongs to the Kong family, but the Holy Courtyard belongs to the entire human race!
The Kong family has the final say on the territory of Kongcheng.
In the Holy Courtyard, the saints have the final say!
"That's enough. Don't you think it's embarrassing enough? Be quiet!" Kong Yu shouted loudly.
Those Kong family members were indignant, but had no voice anymore.
Kong Yu bowed his hand to Xia Jianghuai and apologized, then took his seat again.
Kong Chengyun had a sneer on his face, as if he was waiting to see how Du Ning would end up. He was firm in his analysis and did not believe that Du Ning would memorize a hundred books.
Once Du Ning's lie is exposed, Du Ning will be ruined and become the laughing stock of the human race.
Ke Hongwei, on the other hand, had a serious face and a very bad premonition in his heart. He was really worried that Du Ning would memorize a hundred books.
"Du Ning can't really memorize a hundred books, can he? He really can't do it?"
"Impossible...absolutely impossible..."
"Hmph! Nothing is impossible! When has Duning ever lost?"
"I don't believe he will keep winning..."
"People who speak with strength are often the most confident."
"Will Duning really set such a record?"
The scholars in the audience whispered, and even the Liao people who had mocked Du Ning before did not dare to say anything at this moment.
There are tens of thousands of viewers here. Once you say something wrong and get ridiculed, your personal reputation will be insignificant, but it will have a big impact on the reputation of a country.
Xia Jianghuai said to everyone: "Since Du Ning claimed to have memorized one hundred books, I now announce that the average number of books memorized by Yun Guo students is eighty-six, temporarily ranking first, followed by the Holy Family, and third
The third place is from Liao State, the fourth place is from Jing State, and the fifth place is from Ping State..."
After the rankings were announced, many people were very unconvinced.
Du Ning said he had memorized a hundred books, did he really memorize a hundred books?
Who believes it!
I can talk with just one mouth!
"The second trial will proceed."
Xia Jianghuai looked at everyone and said slowly: "The Holy Academy has specially prepared a hundred test papers for these one hundred books. You are limited to answering them within two hours. Ranking will be based on the total number of correct questions from each country." "Next, let's ask the Holy Court to give us the papers."
After finishing speaking, tens of thousands of test papers flew from the Holy Courtyard, and landed in front of every student on average. Each student had a hundred test papers.
