At this moment, everyone's attention was on Ye Futian and Yang Xiu. Another elder from the Qingzhou Academy walked out and asked Yang Xiu, "Could it be that you're here to grade the papers yourself?"
"I dare not." Yang Xiu shook his head and said, "I just want to know where he was right and wrong. Please enlighten me."
The elder pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, Yang Xiu, since you have doubts, we will grant your wish."
All the students and the people in the stands were silent. They were also curious as to what question Yang Xiu could not answer as well as Ye Futian.
"There is a question in the paper: During a battle between a warrior and a sorcerer, the sorcerer's elemental Spiritual Qi is about to run out. If you were a warrior, what would you do? If you were a sorcerer, what would you do? Yang Xiu, how did you answer this question? "the elder asked.
Yang Xiu's eyes flashed and he said confidently, "If I were a warrior, I would continue to exhaust the sorcerer until he ran out of Spiritual Qi, then I would deal a fatal blow. If I were a sorcerer, I would look for my opponent's weakness and wait until he lets his guard down and reveals an opening, then I would gather all my strength and deal a fatal blow."
Many people nodded. Yang Xiu's answer seemed perfect to them. Many people answered the same way. What was wrong?
Even some of the important people in the stands were interested. This question was to test the students' adaptability during a battle. To them, Yang Xiu's answer was not bad. So how did Ye Futian answer it?
"Ye Futian, tell us your answer." The elder looked at Ye Futian again. Ye Futian stood up and looked at Yang Xiu. He said, "If I were a warrior, I would not give my opponent another chance. I would attack continuously until my opponent falls. If I were a sorcerer of the wind element, I would choose to run. If I were a sorcerer of another element, I would pretend to run out of strength and take an attack from my opponent when he is unprepared. I would gather all my remaining strength and strike again."
"Why did you answer this way?" the elder asked.
"In a battle, if a warrior can make a sorcerer exhaust his strength, it means that he has the upper hand. Under continuous attacks, the sorcerer would be the one at fault. In Yang Xiu's answer, if a sorcerer can find his opponent's weakness and deal a fatal blow, then he has already done so in the previous battle. If he wants to make his opponent reveal an opening, he must pay the price," Ye Futian said slowly. Yang Xiu's face turned pale. Ye Futian's answer was flawless.
Everyone on the grandstand also nodded their heads. In comparison, it was obvious who was better.
The elder nodded slightly, then looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "The last question, martial arts cultivators and sorcerers in a group battle, who would win? How did you answer it?"
"Ignoring the first few realms of the Realm of Awakening, it's impossible to judge. When the mages are able to practice spells, in a group battle of the same realm and number, of course, the mages will win." Yang Xiu answered without hesitation. He was a sorcerer, and sorcerers were stronger than martial arts cultivators. This was the glory of sorcerers.
"Ye Futian, what's your answer?"
"In the Awakening Plane, cultivators have a higher chance of winning. Above the Awakening Plane, sorcerers have a higher chance of winning," Ye Futian answered calmly.
"What a joke. Even in the Awakening Realm, how can a martial arts cultivator defeat a sorcerer? As for those above the Awakening Realm, a sorcerer will definitely win," Yang Xiu said coldly.
"Tell him," the elder said to Ye Futian.
Ye Futian looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Between martial arts cultivators and sorcerers, who has better stamina, endurance, and speed?"
"This is indeed the weakness of sorcerers, but martial arts cultivators have no chance of getting close." Yang Xiu stared at Ye Futian.
"In the Awakening Realm, sorcerers have no ability to cast spells from a distance. If martial arts cultivators surround them and do not fight, how will you break through?"
"Of course, you attack first. Even in the Awakening Realm, sorcerers have more explosive attacks than martial arts cultivators," Yang Xiu said.
"You attack, I retreat," Ye Futian said calmly. "You retreat, I surround."
As soon as Ye Futian finished speaking, many of the important people on the grandstand felt a chill down their spines. What a calm and terrifying tactical deduction ability. If it was someone with a lot of battle experience saying this, they would not be surprised. However, it was a young man from Qingzhou Academy who said this. This was a bit scary. It meant that he had a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of martial arts cultivators and sorcerers, and he even applied it to his tactics.
Ye Futian's tactics could only be described in three words: exhaust the opponent. Martial arts cultivators have strong stamina, endurance, and speed. If sorcerers in the Awakening Realm cannot attack from a distance, then Ye Futian would exhaust the opponent.
Yang Xiu's expression gradually turned ugly. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "The Awakening Realm is all about training the body, muscles, and bones. Sorcerers train with elemental spiritual power, so their stamina, endurance, and speed are not necessarily weaker than martial arts cultivators."
"You have already said that you have ignored the first few realms. After reaching the Sixth Awakening Unparalleled Realm, mages need to control the Spiritual Power of Nature and the ability to control the Spiritual Power of Nature between heaven and earth. They need to study magic, and the energy used to refine their body is limited. Martial arts cultivators are different. The ideal situation you mentioned is to take the path of both martial arts and magic." Although there was not much difference between the two Awakening Realms, there were still some differences. Those who could cultivate both martial arts and sorcery would naturally be stronger.
"That's enough," the elder said indifferently. The elder said indifferently, "As for why martial arts cultivators above the Awakening Realm have a chance of winning, think about it yourself. Remember, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious. Whether it is in martial arts or sorcery, the stronger one is. Yang Xiu, if you and Ye Futian were on the same level, you would definitely lose."
Since the establishment of Qingzhou Academy, both the Spring and Fall Quarter Examinations had been held on written examinations. This was because they understood the importance of basic knowledge. These young people had not experienced real battles and the hardships of the battlefield, so some things had to be engraved in their minds.
"Definitely lose?" Yang Xiu's face darkened. He looked up at the elder and said, "I admit, I lost the written examination."
The elder looked at Yang Xiu. He knew that Yang Xiu was still not convinced. Young people were arrogant, and it would not be easy to change a young man.
"Today's written examination ends here. We will continue tomorrow," the elder announced. All the students stood up one by one. On the viewing platform, some important figures walked towards the teachers of Qingzhou Academy. Obviously, they knew each other and wanted to pay their respects.
Even though the written examination had ended, the students had not calmed down yet. Countless eyes fell on Ye Futian. The legendary loser who had been ridiculed by countless people for the past three years had shocked everyone by taking first place in the written examination. This was his first time participating in the Fall Quarter Examinations.
Yang Xiu turned to face Ye Futian and said coldly, "I take back what I said to you before. I didn't think that after three years of not cultivating, I would have learned so much. But so what? What's learned on paper is still shallow. This is the world of cultivators. In the face of absolute plane and power, knowledge is meaningless. If we were to face each other on the battlefield, what difference would there be between killing you and killing an ant?"
"You've humiliated yourself, and you're still trying to get attention? Haven't you been humiliated enough? Do you think I won't kill you right now?" Yu Sheng stood up. He was a head taller than Yang Xiu, and a strong pressure fell on Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu's face darkened. Of course, he knew Yu Sheng's name. Two years ago, this madman had punched out a senior who had humiliated Ye Futian and thrown him out of Qingzhou Academy. Since then, no one had dared to humiliate Ye Futian in front of him.
However, in the past two years, many people's memories of this incident had faded. But now that Yu Sheng had shown his power, even Yang Xiu did not dare to fight him head-on.
"Get lost!" Yu Sheng shouted. Yang Xiu's face darkened. He stared at Ye Futian and said, "See you tomorrow."
After saying this, he really did leave. Before he left, he did not forget to look at Hua Jieyu, who was standing beside Ye Futian.
Today, he had been humiliated in front of Hua Jieyu. One could imagine how bad his mood was at the moment.
Ye Futian smiled and did not say anything. He glanced at Ling Xiao, who had humiliated him crazily. Coincidentally, Ling Xiao was also looking at him. Ye Futian could not help but smile mockingly.
It was just a smile, but it seemed to be filled with sarcasm.
Ling Xiao clenched his fists and stared at Ye Futian. "Three years. You've been patient. You're useless in cultivation, so you learned a lot of knowledge on paper. But what can that change? Even if you get first in the written exam, you will still be beaten back to your original state tomorrow. You may still be expelled from the academy. If that's the case, it will be even more interesting."
"Idiot." Ye Futian only replied with two words. Ling Xiao's face stiffened. Two words again. Just like last time in the lecture, this bastard.
Ye Futian looked around. His aura was strong, carrying the prestige of first in the written exam. When people looked at him again, their aura had weakened. Some even did not dare to look him in the eye.
At that moment, Hua Jieyu, who was beside him, slowly stood up and walked outside. Ye Futian looked at her back. Hua Jieyu walked a few steps and suddenly looked back. She smiled sweetly. At that moment, all the beauties in the room paled.
"I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow." Hua Jieyu smiled brightly. Everyone's eyes froze as they stared at that smile. It was as if their hearts were about to melt. However, that smile was not for them. It was for Ye Futian.
She turned around and smiled, then turned to leave. Ye Futian blinked and then felt countless murderous gazes directed at him. Those eyes that did not dare to look him in the eye before suddenly became extremely aggressive. Each and every one of them seemed to have suffered a great deal of provocation and wanted nothing more than to skin him alive.
Seeing these gazes, Ye Futian could almost imagine what kind of scene he would face tomorrow. How could Ye Futian not understand the intention of Hua Jieyu's smile? He could not help but curse in his heart, "Fox, you set me up!"
