"One person missed out?!"
All of the surrounding candidates were slightly taken aback when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words. From what they knew, Fang Zhengzhi had never been to the Hall of Dao.
How could he have any understanding of history if he had never been to the Hall of Dao?
This was like an illiterate person who only knew ten words saying that he could read the Law of Dao. It was as laughable as that. It was simply impossible.
"How can the Nangong Family be wrong?"
"Fang Zhengzhi said that Nangong Hao missed out one person? How could he have missed out one person? "
"That's right. Even though I don't care about these people, I remember hearing that there were only 10 people in history who grasped 100 Daos! Nangong Hao said 10 people just now, where did he miss out? "
"I think this guy is going to go back on his shameless ways!"
All of the candidates shook their heads and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with disdain. It was not difficult for him to act shamelessly in a discussion of history and knowledge.
After all, all Fang Zhengzhi had to do was make up a story and say that there was such a person at a certain point in time. However, there were no records of this person.
As such...
The candidates could not do anything to Fang Zhengzhi.
The main reason why history was called that was because there was no way to verify it. Since there was no way to verify it, how could one tell if it was true or not?
However, such behavior was clearly not what a scholar should do.
If the candidates could think of this, so could Nangong Hao. However, he was not angered by Fang Zhengzhi's questioning.
"Young Master Fang, you said that I missed out one person. Can you prove it?" Nangong Hao's voice was not loud, but his tone was serious.
"Sure." Fang Zhengzhi nodded without hesitation.
"Alright, as long as Young Master Fang can produce concrete evidence to prove that I, Nangong Hao, have missed a person just now, I, Nangong Hao, will naturally apologize to Young Master Fang for my ignorance. But if Young Master Fang can't produce it, then please apologize to me for what you said just now!"
His eyes were very bright and his expression was very calm. However, under this calmness, one could always feel a strong sense of steadiness and confidence.
All of the candidates chuckled when they heard this.
They did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi could produce any substantial evidence. After all, only 10 people had grasped more than 100 Daos. This was a fact clearly recorded in the history books.
Fang Zhengzhi was also smiling.
Just as Nangong Hao and the other candidates thought, the history books clearly recorded that there were only 10 people who grasped more than 100 Daos.
However, those were history books.
To put it bluntly, history books represented the past, not the future, nor the present.
"There are only ten people who have grasped more than a hundred Daos?" This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi heard about this. If not for Nangong Hao's explanation, he would not have believed it.
After all, there were hundreds of different Daos in his pocket dimension.
Therefore, before Fang Zhengzhi left the Northern Mountain Village, he had always felt that it was normal to have hundreds of Daos in the pocket dimension.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not know that his experience was unprecedented in the history of humankind.
He solved the Illustration of All Creation at the age of six and successfully cultivated Dao in his heart.
Such an experience was rare in the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was even rarer to be able to enter the Dao before the age of six. To put it bluntly, there were probably no more than three digits in the entire Great Xia Dynasty with such aptitude.
Which one of these talented people didn't receive good family teachings from a young age? Furthermore, they were heavily nurtured in cultivation by the various great families and forces.
How many of these people did not know how to cultivate?
That was 10 times more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was clearly one of them. He had accessed Dao at the age of six, but his understanding of Dao was a complete blank. Furthermore, it was a completely blank blank.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid.
He had his own unique way of thinking. This way of thinking came from a math lesson he learned in primary school. One plus one equals two, two plus one equals three...
Therefore, he used his great wisdom to solve the bottleneck problem of cultivation. Furthermore, using this method, he had been improving steadily ever since he accessed Dao.
Ever since he accessed Dao at the age of six, he had been doing one thing. He had been trying to understand Dao. Furthermore, it was a completely different Dao. After all, the math teacher in primary school had taught everyone a truth.
Two Daos were definitely more powerful than one!
In fact, when Fang Zhengzhi understood the second Dao, the effect was very obvious. It was as though his strength had doubled.
Using this stimulation, a few years passed like a day.
Fang Zhengzhi worked tirelessly. Day after day, year after year, a few years later, he finally planted a huge tree filled with all sorts of Daos in his pocket dimension.
Looking at the various and colorful "Daos" hanging all over the tree, he once thought that he was already at the peak of the world.
However, when he walked out of the Northern Mountain Village, he realized that he had been feeding the dogs for the past few years. He was a frog in a well.
However, one could ask...
In the entire history of the Great Xia Dynasty, in the entire history of mankind, how could there be a second person like Fang Zhengzhi?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know about this. He only knew that there were many Daos in his pocket dimension. The number of Daos had already exceeded a hundred.
Therefore, when he heard Nangong Hao's words, he smiled.
Nangong Hao saw the smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face. He could feel that Fang Zhengzhi's smile was bright and confident. Furthermore, it came from the bottom of his heart.
However, he did not understand where Fang Zhengzhi's blind and false confidence came from.
Until...
Nangong Hao saw Fang Zhengzhi raise his hand and point a finger at himself. Then, Fang Zhengzhi said something that Nangong Hao would never have expected.
"You left me out!" Fang Zhengzhi was very sincere and honest. There was no need for him to act, because what he said was the truth.
"You left me out!"
"Left me out..."
"Me!"
Fang Zhengzhi's words were simple and his voice was not particularly loud. However, for some reason, Nangong Hao's ears kept ringing when he heard these words.
The source of these sounds was not Nangong Hao's hallucination. It was the eyes and mouths of the candidates who were standing not too far away.
"What did Fang Zhengzhi just say?"
"I think he said, you left me out!"
"Left me out? What does that mean? "
"You mean, Nangong Hao left him out just now, right?"
"Of course! I'm asking... what does that mean?! "
"Impossible, how is that possible? Fang Zhengzhi has never been to the Hall of Dao, but he said... could it be that this guy has grasped more than a hundred Daos?"
All of the candidates could not contain their shock.
Grasping more than a hundred Daos was just as Nangong Hao had said. No one in history had ever become a sage. However, in reality, how many people in the entire human race could become a sage?
Becoming a sage.
That was a dream, a belief. However, it was a distant dream for many people.
However, to be able to grasp more than a hundred Daos was a reality that could be touched. Furthermore, it was a reality that had been proven through countless generations of history.
All of the candidates were stunned.
It was impossible for Nangong Hao to not be shocked at all. After all, even though this path was impassable, it was not a path that anyone could take.
To comprehend over a hundred Daos, how great of a talent and comprehension ability was required? It was even more difficult to comprehend a single Dao to the extreme.
Most importantly, it was a form of willpower.
This was akin to a person who could have reached the Heavenly Reflection State in a year. However, he chose to suppress his cultivation level at the Star Conglomerate State so that he could understand more and more Daos.
Four years ago, Nangong Hao rejected the Heaven Dao Pavilion's invitation. He returned to the Nangong Family and did not leave for four years.
At that time, he had thought of doing the same thing.
However, he gave up in the end. After all, this method was too difficult. Furthermore, no one knew what the results would be if he spent too much time and energy on it.
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Every profession has its own master.
But in reality, when a wide road and an unknown path were placed in front of you at the same time, it was actually not difficult to choose which one to take.
Nangong Hao chose the state of mind. Furthermore, he achieved great results.
As such, he walked out of the Nangong Family and used the enlightenment he had accumulated over the past four years to break through. In just a month, he reached the pinnacle of the Supernatural State.
What a terrifying rate of improvement.
Nangong Hao had always felt that the path he chose was the best one.
However, when he realized that Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing in front of him, had chosen a path that even he did not dare to take, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
He did not know what this feeling was.
Was it jealousy? No! Nangong Hao did not think that this path was better than his own.
Was he curious? Not at all! After all, everything that had happened in history had proven that this was an impossible path to take.
Nangong Hao couldn't describe this feeling with words. He just felt that this feeling was very uncomfortable. This was the first time he felt uncomfortable ever since he had cultivated his state of mind to a mature level.
"You have mastered 100 Daos?" Nangong Hao did not doubt the veracity of Fang Zhengzhi's words. He could tell from Fang Zhengzhi's expression that he was speaking the truth.
However, he still asked because he wanted to know how far Fang Zhengzhi had progressed on this path.
"100 Daos? Aren't you saying too little? " Fang Zhengzhi shook his head, his expression one of disdain. He felt that Nangong Hao was looking down on him.
100?
You only have 100!
Nangong Hao was taken aback. He rarely lost his composure because of one person's words, but when he heard Fang Zhengzhi say that it was too little, his expression changed.
All of the other candidates were stunned as well.
100 was too little?
Could it be that he had mastered 110 Daos? Or 120 Daos?
That was not possible.
One had to know that in all of history, the person who grasped the most Daos had only grasped 183 Daos in his lifetime. Moreover, that was when he was over 90 years old.
But how old was Fang Zhengzhi?
He was only 15 or 16!
Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi. He had heard Fang Zhengzhi mention that he had many Daos in his pocket dimension, and that he could mimic Yan Xiu's attacks.
However, how many Daos did Fang Zhengzhi have in his pocket dimension...
Yan Xiu had no idea.
"Could it be that Young Master Fang has mastered more than 120 Daos?" Nangong Hao's expression changed before he regained his composure.
120 Daos. That was a bold guess.
However, when Nangong Hao said it, his tone was as calm as usual.
This was confidence. A confidence that came from deep within his heart.
"That's too little." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head again. He felt that he had already given a very clear reminder. Furthermore, he had used the words' 100 '. Wasn't that too little?
Even an idiot would know that he had to add more Daos. Even if it wasn't three or four times, it should at least be one or two times.
What did he mean by adding 20?
"Too little?!"
"More than 120 Daos?!"
"How... how is that possible? He must be bluffing! I don't believe it! "
All of the candidates heard Fang Zhengzhi's reply. However, they did not believe that a 15 year old Fang Zhengzhi could master more than 120 Daos!
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi finally noticed the shocked expressions on the faces of the scholars behind him. However, he didn't quite understand what they were shocked about.
Of course...
Even if Fang Zhengzhi knew that the person who had mastered the most Daos in history had only mastered 183 Daos, he would not be too shocked.
After all, this did not mean that the person was less intelligent than Fang Zhengzhi.
It could only mean that the starting point was different. It was like the difference between an adult's learning ability and that of a child's.
If an eight-year-old child started to speak at the age of two and lived in different environments, then from the age of two to the age of eight, he might be able to master five, or even more than ten languages.
Furthermore, he would be able to use precise and articulate words.
However, if you put a 30 year old in different environments for six years, he might not even be able to learn a single language.
