"Jiang Li, right? I have some impression of you," said Dean Li coldly, with a world of difference in attitude compared to that towards Goddess Jing Xin.

"Why am I the last one?" Jiang Li asked with suppressed anger. If he had failed the task and became the second, he would have accepted it, but how could he be the last one?

Is it me who is stupid, or is it you?

"You still have the nerve to ask?" Dean Li laughed at Jiang Li's question. He took out Jiang Li's test paper and cast a spell to display it in the air, so that everyone could see.@@novelbin@@

"Let everyone see what you wrote!"

Goddess Jing Xin did not expect that the great Peoples Emperor, Jiang Li, would score last in the exam, with most of his answers related to the books he wrote.

Everyone wanted to see how Jiang Li answered the questions.

After reading it, everyone thought that Jiang Li's answers were excellent, logical, concise, and mentioned many unfamiliar knowledge, demonstrating his extensive learning, unlike themselves who only memorized the books.

Seeing everyone's confusion, Dean Li explained, "At first glance, there doesn't seem to be any problem with this set of test papers, but in fact, the questions are not easy."

"Most of the answers to this set of test papers can be found in books. In other words, as long as you study hard, you won't do too badly in the exam."

"But I think Kong Li's answers are not wrong, although they are not exactly the same as those in the books." Goddess Jing Xin spoke for everyone's doubts.

Dean Li shook his head. "Almost the same? These books are the lifelong efforts of the Peoples Emperor, with every word being a gem and full of meaning. How can you replace them with your own words casually?"

"I have been studying the theory of the Peoples Emperor for a lifetime. Even now, when I reread 'The General Outline of Cultivation,' I can still gain something from it."

"With your current ability, you are not yet capable of understanding the profound meaning in the books of the Peoples Emperor. Therefore, you must memorize them first and then understand them." Dean Li looked like he was thinking of the students.

In fact, Jiang Li really wanted to say, "I wrote 'The General Outline of Cultivation' for Qi Refining to Golden Core cultivators as an enlightenment book. What kind of insight can you, a Unity cultivator, have?"

Dean Li continued, "For example, this question asks for the definition of cultivation. 'The General Outline of Cultivation' uses a whole page to define cultivation, but Kong Li summarized it in a simple sentence. Is that possible?"

Jiang Li asked, "Is it possible that 'The General Outline of Cultivation' was not written for Unity cultivators but for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators? It is written in great detail and can actually be summarized in one sentence."

"Impossible!" Dean Li said firmly, "The Peoples Emperor is so great that his books are not limited by age or cultivation level. Everyone can read them.""I have been studying Jiang, the People's Emperor's theories for over a hundred years. Every time he comes to the lecture hall, I am the one who receives him. No one understands Jiang's thoughts better than me!"

The vice dean standing nearby remained noncommittal. Dean Li cannot tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Jiang, the People's Emperor. He studies Jiang's theories rigidly and insists on sticking to every word. He even says that Jiang's theories are like pearls, and not a single word can be changed.

"And this reading comprehension question. You said it was just a sunny day, and there was no other meaning. Is that possible? How can anything Jiang writes not have a deeper meaning?"

"It rained for days, and yet, on that day, it was sunny. And Jiang wrote an essay on that day. His meaning was undoubtedly that there will be many difficulties in cultivation, just like this continuous rain, but there will always be a day when the rain clears and the sun shines. We can overcome difficulties and continue to cultivate."

"This is Jiang inspiring us!"

Jiang Li frowned and said, "Why does Jiang have to have a deeper meaning?"

Dean Li glared and shouted, "How dare you! How can someone like you criticize Jiang?"

"Is Jiang a sage? Are his words unchangeable? Is his behavior impeccable? Are people not allowed to discuss it?"

Dean Li angrily said, "Based on your attitude towards Jiang, you cannot be admitted to this school!"

"Jiang is an honorary graduate of our college. You and Jiang are from the same school. You are tarnishing the reputation of the college and Jiang!"

Dean Li exuded the pressure of Unity period, trying to force the disrespectful person in front of him to submit. The students in the audience could not withstand the pressure of Unity period, feeling as if a huge mountain was pressing on their backs, making it difficult to breathe.

Goddess Jing Xin frowned slightly and felt angry. She wanted to use the pressure of Unity period to counter Dean Li's pressure.

But she quickly realized that someone was angrier than her.

"Are you tarnishing Jiang's reputation? I think you are tarnishing mine!"

Jiang Li was furious, and it seemed as if an ancient god was dancing behind him. His pressure was overwhelming, as if it encompassed the entire world, but it was only directed at Dean Li.

Jiang Li could no longer tolerate Dean Li's twisted ideas and revealed his true identity. The audience was in an uproar.

There was a huge statue of Jiang, the People's Emperor in the college. Who didn't recognize Jiang Li?

Soon, there was laughter. This was an open and aboveboard slap to Dean Li's face.

They also felt that memorizing books was not good, but who made Dean Li the dean and a Unity period cultivator? If he said that memorizing books was right, then they could only memorize books if they wanted to be admitted to the school.Now that Jiang Li had publicly slapped someone's face, there were countless people who couldn't stand it. Li Yuanzhang looked like he was constantly mentioning Jiang Li.

Jiang Li felt triumphant.

"When I first came to the academy, the academic atmosphere was open, students were free, and various academic theories were emerging."

"But now, it has become the Jiang Li Academy. They take the enlightenment literature I wrote for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment as classics. What have you gained from it? I'd like to ask you!"

Jiang Li sternly questioned, his expression serious. He was heartbroken about the current state of the academy. The academy's dean was the indicator of its direction. With such a person as the dean, one could only imagine what kind of academy it would become!

A stagnant pool!

It was ridiculous that he was still giving lectures.

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

He only gave lectures for two days. What could he say in two days? Of course, it was to enlighten the students and guide them to think deeply about cultivation and expand their thinking. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that all those lectures were in vain!

Li Yuanzhang was sweating profusely. He never thought that the one he was reprimanding, Kong Li, would turn out to be Jiang Li.

It was ridiculous that he had criticized Jiang Li's writing in front of him, modifying the original intention of Jiang Li's work, and saying that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

"Jiang...Jiang Li, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were Kong Li. If it were you, then the test paper would naturally be full marks."

"Dean Li Hengshan, this isn't about who I am. You still haven't realized your mistake. I'm very disappointed in you!"

Jiang Li no longer paid attention to Li Yuanzhang. He walked to the excited vice dean and said, "Vice Dean Meng, please inform the students that Jiang will be giving a lecture."

Vice Dean Meng quickly nodded and bowed to Jiang Li, then went to inform the students.

Finally, he didn't have to endure Li Yuanzhang's rigid theories anymore!

On that day, Jiang Li sat on his own statue and gave a lecture called "Authority Cannot Be Fully Trusted."
