Chapter 42 – Task failed
Since he made a bet with Goddess Jing Xin, Jiang Li didn't plan to just pass the entrance exam. He didn't want to just win first place among a group of disciples under 25 years old, but to surpass Goddess Jing Xin and win first place!
Jiang Li didn't want to fight an unprepared battle, so he first looked at the reference books for the entrance exam.
However, the results made him speechless.
He remembered that when he entered the school five hundred years ago, the reference books were all widely circulated books in the Nine Provinces, such as "Introduction to Cultivation", "Foreseeing Cultivation", "Discussion on Nine Provinces Customs", and so on.
Now it's "General Outline of Cultivation (by Jiang Li)", "Three Thousand Questions on Cultivation (by Jiang Li)", "Cultivation is Cultivating the Heart (by Jiang Li)", and "General Outline of Cultivation (annotated edition)."@@novelbin@@
"Ten reference books, eight of which I wrote myself, and the remaining two are still annotations on my own books?!"
"Those who know think I'm a graduate of the academy with honors, and those who don't think I'm the one who sets the exam." Jiang Li complained.
After he became a Mahayana, his understanding of cultivation became more profound, so he wrote some of his insights into books for the benefit of the vast number of cultivators.
But after careful consideration, the academy's approach is not a problem. Anyone who has reached the Unity stage has a systematic understanding of cultivation. For example, Goddess Jing Xin's understanding of cultivation has surpassed that of the academy's dean.
Without theoretical support and only a half-hearted understanding of cultivation methods, it is impossible to reach the Unity stage, let alone the Tribulation Crossing stage and the Mahayana stage. Their understanding of cultivation is almost like the truth.
The academy's choice of Jiang Li's book as a Mahayana is also reasonable.
Of course, cultivation is cultivation. If you ask Jiang Li to write about alchemy or refining tools, sorry, he can't read or write.
"I can still lose?" Jiang Li was already thinking about what conditions to give to Goddess Jing Xin.
...
On the day of the exam, Jiang Li came to the exam room full of confidence. When he saw the test paper, he felt he was steady.
For example, this question asked, "What is the definition of cultivation in the 'General Outline of Cultivation'?" "At the beginning of 'Jiang People Emperor's Essays (excerpt),' it says 'It has been raining heavily for several days, and today it finally cleared up.' Why did the author write this? What does this sentence express?"
The definition of cultivation? This is too simple for Jiang Li. He wrote with a pen that cultivation refers to the process in which creatures gradually become stronger by absorbing spiritual energy and nurturing themselves.

"Is it sunny today?" Jiang Li murmured, recalling the situation at the time. It was during the rainy season, and the rain was abundant for several days. Finally, one day, the sun came out. Jiang Li felt that the weather was good and wrote down his feelings casually.
In addition, the test paper asked how a Qi Refining cultivator with a golden spiritual root defeated an Eight-layer Qi Refining cultivator with water, fire, and wood spiritual roots in the forest.And give the time, weather, and spiritual density, etc. Two cultivators are also mentioned as standard cultivators, meaning they have no special bloodline or techniques.
This kind of test that tests combat ability is very easy for Jiang Li. He easily wrote several methods to win against stronger opponents.
"Well, perfect!" Jiang Li was very satisfied with his answers and handed in his paper first.
The vice dean in charge of invigilation heard that someone had handed in their paper early and looked at Jiang Li's paper with a smile.
"This year we have a good seedling. He has active thinking, is not confined to books, is bold in battle, knows how to use the enemy's psychology, and is straightforward in reading comprehension. Very good, very good!"
The vice dean said three "very good" in a row, showing that he was very satisfied with this student from Kongli.
"Oh, someone has handed in their paper so quickly again. Jiang Jingxin, you were already famous before you enrolled."
"Not bad, she has a deep knowledge base. There were many strange questions this year, squeezed out from reference books, but she could remember them. Very good, very good."
...
"How did the exam go?" After leaving the exam room, Jiang Li saw Jingxin Saintess come out as well and joked.
Jingxin Saintess smiled lightly, revealing two dimples that were very cute. Passing teachers were all distracted and ran into the wall.
Fortunately, the teacher was harder than the wall. Unfortunately, the wall was not the teacher.
"I have already figured out what to make you do." Jingxin Saintess's smile revealed a confidence that made Jiang Li smile too.
"I have also figured out what to make you do."
"Let's wait and see?"
"Let's wait and see."
...
On the day the exam results were announced, the system's friendly prompt sounded.
[Host task failed]
"???"
Jiang Li stood in front of the ranking list, squatting down to see his name.
Kongli, second to last.
Jingxin Saintess stood out in the crowd with her noble temperament, making countless people feel inferior and keeping a certain distance from her.
She also saw her name.
Jiang Jingxin, first place.
Jingxin Saintess covered her mouth lightly, which looked like a surprised expression to others, but she was actually trying not to laugh at Jiang Li's ranking.
No, my stomach hurts.
I am a Unity cultivator, and my willpower must be strong.
The Peoples Emperor failed the exam, no, I can't hold it in anymore.
Hahaha, it's so funny.
After struggling internally for a while, Jingxin Saintess finally didn't let herself laugh out loud.
"You can laugh if you want."
Jiang Li looked at Jingxin Saintess's gloating expression with a calm face.
"I didn't laugh...haha...hahaha, you have your day too.""It must be something wrong somewhere." Jiang Li analyzed the reason rationally, "Let's go and find the dean to settle the score... and ask if there was a mistake."
The dean of the academy was surnamed Li and was responsible for evaluating this year's exam papers.
Dean Li stood on a high platform, scanning for any good talents this year.
Speaking of a student named Jing Xin, he was quite good and could be his student.
"Dean, someone is looking for you downstairs."
"Who?"
"It's Jiang Jing Xin, who got the highest score, and Kong Li, who got the lowest. They said you made a mistake."
Dean Li snorted heavily with his nose, feeling a bit unhappy.
It was ridiculous to think that he made a mistake. He remembered both Jiang Jing Xin and Kong Li. Jiang Jing Xin's paper was perfect, while Kong Li's paper was a mess.
"Let them come up. Let them tell everyone where I went wrong."
If it was just Kong Li, Dean Li would definitely ignore him. But if both the highest and lowest scorers came to him, he had to treat them well.
It was just right to announce this matter publicly on the platform, to establish his authoritative image for those who had not yet enrolled.
"You must be Jiang Jing Xin, right? Not bad, you look good, write delicately, and your paper is excellent." Dean Li treated Goddess Jing Xin kindly and spoke loudly on purpose, making the students below notice. As for Kong Li, who got the lowest score, he didn't even see him.
"So that's Jiang Jing Xin? She's so beautiful."
"Yeah, I'm a girl and even I'm attracted to her."
"Who's the person next to her? His face doesn't look good."
"I don't know him."
"Dean Li, I'm Kong Li. I think you might have made a mistake with my paper."
Jiang Li took the initiative to speak.
He also knew Dean Li. Every time he came to the academy to give a lecture, Dean Li would receive him with great respect.
