The Sovereign Of The Three Realms
Chapter 37: Drastic Changes in the Situation, Conquering the Examiners
Admittedly, Jiang Chen's memories were impressive. He had actually filled many scrolls in a span of two hours.
Jiang Chen stood up, rolled up his answer scroll well, and presented it.
“Your Majesty, please research this and give it to the officials of various subjects.” Jiang Chen's tone of voice was calm and full of confidence.
Eastern Lu took the scroll and glanced at it a few times. He discovered that this answer scroll was indeed different from the previous one. He thought deeply for a moment and then handed it over to the four subject officials.
“Four ministers, read carefully. This is an important issue and you absolutely should not be numb or careless.” Eastern Lu reminded.
The four officials in charge of their respective subjects suddenly felt a mountain of pressure on them.
On one side was the ruler of the kingdom – king reminder – and on the other was Du Ruhai's gaze which contained blatant warnings and threats.
After all, they were in the Aurum Imperial Hall, in the territory of the kingdom. The majesty of a dignified king finally overcame the psychological pressure that Du Ruhai brought to them.
The four people tried hard enough to calm down and started reading.
At first, the expressions of the four of them were only a little surprised as they thought that this answer scroll was completely different from the previous one.
But when they read the creative part in the second half, the expressions of the four subject officials became very serious. They will sometimes reveal expressions that are deep in thought and then smile in understanding. They would follow him with expressions facing difficult problems, but then an expression of enlightenment would suddenly spread on their faces.
Many were extremely curious when they saw the rich play of expressions on those four faces. Was the answer scroll so complicated as to make these four people read it with such ridiculous expressions?
The four of them finally rolled the scroll after a long time, despite wanting to continue.
“Health?” Eastern Lu asked in private.
“In response to Your Majesty, if we rate this scroll, we will definitely give you the full points.”
“Of course, indeed. And, the creative part shows the depth of theory, unique opinions, and extensive experience so that even your simple subject feels very downgraded and inappropriate.”
“Your humble subject strongly agrees. This answer scroll was filled with talent and inspired the feeling of seeing a high mountain. ”
“Your humble subject has only one sentence to say. This scroll is the first one your humble subject has seen in his life, this is unprecedented! ”
One evaluation is higher than the other.
Anyone could see that the official in charge of the four subjects did not speak out for granted. The fact that this answer scroll contained many things that they needed time to digest could be seen from their drunken expression.
Judging from their satisfied expressions, it was most likely true that the contents in the scroll were enough to open their eyes, and provide no small amount of benefits.
Eastern Lu looked at Jiang Chen meaningfully and sighed lightly. “My ministers, we are a bit confused. How two answer rolls can be drastically different with respect to the same test subject. One of them is full of talent and has conquered the subject officials, while the other is full of illegible garbage and does not pass.”
“Your Majesty, one night has passed since that exam. The Jiang Han household could easily hire a crew of experts to compile satisfactory answers throughout the night. Such a problem would be very easy.”
It is true that many things change easily throughout the night.
Du Ruhai also started shouting. “Your Majesty, this Jiang family considers themselves smart and do not deserve to be insulted. Your subject wants to say something unwanted. This Jiang Chen was famous throughout the capital for being useless as well as stupid and incompetent. Even the peddlers and porters would be hard pressed to believe that he had made the answer scroll that had conquered the testers.”
The situation was once again unfavorable to Jiang Chen.
When everyone's gazes once again focused on Jiang Chen, he burst into laughter and took a proud step forward. “It makes sense for all of you to think that I have been cheating given the same exam topic. Then if it would please the examiners, please propose a few more topics and Jiang Chen was willing to immediately engage the examiners in a study battle with each other.
Learn from each other!
“Jiang Chen, do you think this is your Jiang Han home? Your childish play will not be tolerated in this grand hall! Once it's been outrageous enough, how can you be allowed to do it again?
Indeed, the king is already generous enough to allow you to answer the question again. How could your cruel conduct be allowed again?
Eastern Lu laughed out loud and detained the officials and courtiers who wanted to take action. “In this great hall, we sat down and gave the papacy. It is truly a wonderful thing that our Eastern Kingdom has such a young junior with such courage. It should be appreciated and not smothered. We will agree to Jiang Chen's wishes. Unfortunately, this adds a burden on the officials of all four subjects and causes them to expend more effort.”
The officials of the four subjects did not care much, they had already let go. Since there was an opportunity to express oneself before the king, this was not too bad either.
Besides, they were really curious. Did Jiang Chen really create four answer scrolls? If that was the case, they also wanted to test Jiang Chen and see what they might get.
Four main subjects “Defense Art Articles”, “Roh” Treatment Articles, “Make Strength and Influence”, and “Mail Militar” Strategy.
Of them, “Make Power and Influence”, and “Make Militar” Strategy is actually an accompanying topic. Not a lot of content is tested, and the proportions are not very weighty. Therefore, these two subjects are tested first.
Clear thinking, innovative perspective, aspirational point of view, unbound realm.
When Jiang Chen had answered all four questions, not only the two examiners, but also some courtiers and officials, applauded.
Because Jiang Chen's answer was too good. Each answer is unintentionally pursued to do something new and original.
But each answer has been cut from a new angle and produced unexpected responses that also make sense. The listener is able to reflect on the answer and obtain something.
“Yang Mulia. Both of these topics already cover a lifetime of knowledge of your simple subject. No matter from which angle we look at it, young duke Jiang's response has surpassed your simple level of subject learning. Your humble subject agrees. ”
“Your humble subject also agrees. Your humble subject believes that with duke Jiang young level for “Makalah Militar” Strategy, there is no way he is the person from the original scroll.
These words create waves when spoken.
“Checker Hua, what do you mean by that?”
Examiner Hua of “Makalah Militar” Strategies spoke weakly, “I am an old pedant, but also a scholar with the integrity of a scholar. Duke Jiang's young standard amazed me. Therefore, I will say one additional word. As the organizer of the Hidden Dragon Trials, His Majesty Du is insightful, tolerant of diversity, and should be able to accommodate a variety of voices?”
Du Ruhai's face darkened, “But aren't your words a public slander tricked by someone in the Hidden Dragon Trials?”
“About whether someone cheated or not, we won Your Majesty to make an honorable decision. This humble subject did not dare to speak insolently.” After concluding, examiner Hua subconsciously retreated, closed his eyes and automatically entered a state of death.
“Heh heh, this humble subject will now test young duke Jiang at “The Articles of Spirit Medicine”.”
“Please convey your instructions.” Jiang Chen cupped his hands.
“Alright, the first question relates to cultivating spirit materials. How could a common ninth rank spirit material Three Immortal Grass often appear as one or two blades of grass when cultivated, as opposed to three blades of grass as it should be, like the three immortals in heaven?
Those who understood how to cultivate spirit herbs all personally cursed this examiner. This question is too complicated, right? Even the examiner himself might not know why?
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. “The reason is simple. The Three Immortal Grass was a spirit herb where three blades grew on the same stalk. If there is a slight deviation during fertilization, causing one blade to become too strong, it will swallow the other two blades. Therefore, in the cultivation of the Three Immortal Grass, there should be absolutely no deviation in the tillage and application of spirit fertilizers. The slightest deviation will cause the most severe error.”
“What? Think it'll be very demanding? ” The examiner thought carefully and suddenly hit his head. “That's right, why don't I think about this? I always thought it was a seed problem. According to the records, the Three Immortal Grass in the realms like an eagle and an eagle, could eat its own kind. So it turned out that not the Three Eternal Grasses could not grow three blades, but it was swallowed by its brothers on a stalk! ”
The examiner grinned widely and a few additional traces of admiration appeared in his gaze at Jiang Chen.
“Then I will test you another question about refining pills. If you can also answer this question, I will also guarantee you as Old Hua has done!”
“Please go.” Jiang Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not forget himself in excessive excitement due to the promise of the others.
“When I purify ‘Pil Qi Heavenly Return’, I sometimes use water heart insect eggs, and sometimes ice cricket wings. Why is it that using water lice eggs can sometimes produce top-tier pills, and sometimes ice crickets wings can produce top-tier pills? I want to ask which of these two materials is more suitable for refining ‘Pil Qi Heavenly Return’? ”
This question is also one that bothers these testers long enough. Over the years of refining the heavenly Qi Return Pill, he ended up with a middle rank nine out of ten and rarely produced a top rank pill.
This caused him not to gain much profit, even sometimes resulting in losses.
Jiang Chen searched through his memories and made his response. “Although water heart insect eggs and ice cricket wings are the ingredients used to refine the heavenly Return Qi Pill, but it is actually not the most ideal choice. If you use the Frozen Rain Dream Spirit Fruit, it will increase your chances of refining a top rank pill to seventy, eighty percent. ”
“But why is that?” The examiner asked humbly.
“It's quite simple. Whether it was the water lice eggs or the ice cricket wings, they were all creatures of flesh and blood. The main ingredients of the heavenly Qi Return Pill would be somewhat undone by the strength of these two beings. When this is the case, you will find it difficult to refine a top rank pill. Being able to produce one occasionally was just luck. The Spirit Dream Frozen Rain Fruit was a plant and had no power. Its characteristics are also most appropriate to the main material. It was the best choice.”
“Ah ..” The mouth of the examiner is open and he does not speak for a long time. He finally bowed towards Jiang Chen after quite a long time had passed. “Now after I heard this today, I can die without regret. I, old Zhao, also agree.”
He then came to Eastern Lu, “Your Majesty, this young man's knowledge of spirit materials is vast and profound, far surpassing this old man. Your humble subject also feels that young duke Jiang is not the author of the answer scroll.”
Inspector Zhao stopped, and then added, “Sama is absolutely incomparable. One in the sky, and the other on earth.”
Someone's words may not have much effect. The words of two people can also be coincidental.
But if three people spoke, then it was no longer a coincidence.
The three examiners who had tested Jiang Chen had spoken on his behalf and praised him endlessly. This situation had far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Changes slowly begin to occur in this situation.
