The elder didn't expect to hear a new point of view from Lin Yuan.
His interest was piqued, and he said kindly.
"Young man, tell me about it! This old man likes to hear opinions that are insightful. Speak your mind. "
Ning Xuejun was hopping mad as she listened.
Her grandfather seemed to say the same thing every time before his face changed.
Lin Yuan pondered for a while before replying.
"Actually, there's this answer because both have been eliminated in evolution, so they're both weak. Otherwise, neither the Megalodon nor the Leviathan Whale can be seen now. Even if the sharks in the ocean have undergone atavistic mutation, and some have mutated into the Megalodon, they're no longer Megalodon or Leviathan Whales."
This point of view made the old man fall silent.
He had always heard that the Megalodon or the Leviathan Whale were strong.
Perhaps the two sides were equally matched, but without exception, they all said they were strong. This was the first time someone said they were weak.
However, this weakness was understandable from the perspective of natural selection.
Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan's point of view was too novel, even when the old man heard someone say that the Megalodon was weak, he did not immediately explode.
"Why?"
"The Megalodon and the Leviathan ruled the oceans of the Tertiary period for millions of years. However, regardless of whether it was the Leviathan Whale or the Megalodon, due to their high apex, it resulted in the slow evolution of marine animals in the Tertiary Period. Therefore, they naturally chose to use a meteorite 65 million years ago to persuade both sides to stop the war with an irrefutable truth. This collision ushered in a new era of the Quaternary Ocean, and at the same time, wiped out the Megalodon Whale and the Leviathan Whale. Therefore, from a Creation Master's perspective, in terms of survival and evolution, the Megalodon and the Leviathan Whale are both weak. "
Lin Yuan voiced out his thoughts.
This idea was not merely based on what Cleverness had learned.
Most of it was the accumulation of his previous life's knowledge and the comprehension he had gained after promoting feys' evolution.
In the long river of time, everything was but smoke and dust.
The path of evolution for a successful person was never to stand at the top and look down on the masses.
A truly successful species evolution is one that knows how to evolve and overcome the next disaster in tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years.
This way of survival was the eternal victor on the path of evolution.
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, the old man was silent for a long time as though he was recalling Lin Yuan's words.
Ning Xuejun no longer looked at Lin Yuan as though he was just a troublemaker.
This was because such words could not be easily said by an uneducated person.
Lin Yuan stood quietly in place, neither arrogant nor impatient.
At this moment, the old man suddenly laughed and clapped his hands.
"Alright!"
The old man's voice was very loud and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
However, the elder didn't care and looked at Lin Yuan.
"Young man, what you said is really brilliant! But why did the meteorite from 65 million years ago destroy the Megalodon and the Leviathan whale? But the shark and whale populations still survive to this day? "
When the old man asked this question, there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes. Obviously, the old man knew the answer.
He was asking this question purely to test Lin Yuan.
She wanted to see if Lin Yuan's previous answer was based on his feelings or if he truly understood the crux of the matter.
Lin Yuan didn't think about it this time and said, "That's right.
"The higher you go, the weaker the food chain is. The meteorite 65 million years ago first destroyed the algae in the ocean, and the death of the algae was followed by the Unicorn Shrimps. The Unicorn Shrimps are the food source of various baleen whales and various large filter feeding fishes. The baleen whales and various large filter feeding fishes are also the common food of the Megalodon and Leviathan Whales. The Megalodon and Leviathan Whales stand at the top of the food pyramid, but they are also the weakest link in the ecological niche. This is the reason for their extinction."
When the old man heard Lin Yuan clearly say the answer in his heart, he felt that Lin Yuan was pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.
People of learning often cherished talented people.
Especially when he saw such a young youth, there was a feeling of inheritance, which made the old man feel very gratified.
He turned around and said to Ning Xuejun, who was standing at the side.
"Lass, those who went in to take the exam will be coming out one after another. Since you can't leave, I'll bring this young man to take the exam for the three knowledge-type spirit qi occupations. I want to see the standard of the youngsters nowadays!"
Ning Xuejun placed the form that Lin Yuan filled in in her grandfather's hand and secretly gave Lin Yuan a thumbs-up.
Lin Yuan returned the gesture to express his gratitude and followed the old man to a classroom inside.
The old man turned his head and said to Lin Yuan, "I'll invigilate the exam later.
Actually, invigilating an exam is very interesting. I can see a person's three qualities by watching a person's answers. "
The old man didn't care if Lin Yuan answered or not and just continued talking.
Perhaps he was happy, but he seemed to be a chatterbox along the way and didn't stop talking.
"I can see a person's state of mind by looking at a person's expression when answering a question. I can see a person's attitude towards learning by looking at a person's answers. I can see a person's mental quality by looking at the steps when answering a question. It has been almost ten years since this old man last invigilated an exam!"
While speaking, the old man's eyes revealed some reminiscence.
Lin Yuan listened quietly.
He felt that even the Redbud City's Creation Master Association's Vice President, who even the City Lord had to be courteous to, was just an old man who was a little biased towards learning.
During the exam, the old man didn't hesitate and immediately handed all three exam papers to Lin Yuan.
When entering the exam, Lin Yuan's mind was highly concentrated, and it felt as though everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
When Lin Yuan started to answer the questions, the old man didn't feel anything.
But after a short moment, the old man felt that Lin Yuan's answers were actually pleasing to the eye.
The brush tip landed on the paper at the same frequency. It was neither fast nor slow, and it was calm and steady.
As for Lin Yuan, his expression didn't change as he answered the questions on the test paper page by page according to the order.
The old man admired Lin Yuan's calm bearing, and he couldn't help but look forward to Lin Yuan's results, which were the answers.
While answering the questions, Lin Yuan finally understood why Ning Xuejun said that the Creation Master Association's questions would be very tricky.
It was because 10% of the questions actually came from the notes in the book.
There were even some questions that could only be answered in the book's preface.
The person who came up with the questions was truly trying to make things difficult for others.
But to Lin Yuan, it was still the same 'I don't know if it is difficult, but it isn't difficult if I know it'.
It was precisely because of this that Lin Yuan's answers were like moving clouds and flowing water.
