Jixia, a wide open-air square.

More than a thousand seats were packed with a group of bachelors who came after hearing the news. Some people even came too late and could only stand and listen with their hands down on the corridors.

As for the people sitting on the main seat in the middle, in full view of everyone, they were all celebrities from Jixia Academy and even hundreds of schools.

Today, there are even heavyweights here.

Except for Meng Ke, who hosted the debate.

Walking around Jixia, there is Mo Zhai, a great scholar of Mohism who is highly virtuous and respected among Mohists.

The most controversial master of Legalism, Han Fei.

There are also Sun Wu, the leader of the military strategist school, and descendants of the Guigu sect of the Zongheng school.

All the masters from various schools who are currently practicing in Jixia Academy have arrived.

And in the center is the main seat.

There was a young man in commoner clothes, with a calm expression, sitting down cross-legged.

He is the initiator of today’s ‘Contending of a Hundred Schools of Thought’.

When all the eyes in the room were focused on him like a spotlight.

Ji Qiu only twitched his ears slightly, but he could hear many whispers coming from a distance:

"Is this the gentleman who wanted to become a family in Zhengming Hall today and then open a hall to teach disciples?"

"Are you too young?"

Some people looked at Ji Qiu, who had a fair face but looked like a young boy, and had some doubts.

"Although those who hear the Tao are not ranked in order, they are all ranked according to their academic level, and those who have mastered it are the teachers."

"However, at this age, can this person really be able to discuss Taoism?"

"You must know that even Xun Kuang, a Confucian, only achieved this step when he was in his early years!"

Many people are a little disappointed when they find that the debates they have seen over the past few years seem to be a little different from what they thought.

But in this regard, the person involved just smiled and didn't care.

The cicadas wake up before the autumn wind stirs.

When he changed his destiny against the will of heaven and came to this life, after loading his body with talents, with Ji Qiu's level of Qi, blood and Qi refining, he could hear words like these very clearly.

But so what.

Rumors are heard, but they are just a slight breeze.

When he truly demonstrates his own doctrine and transcendence, these current doubts will naturally turn into shock and admiration later.

After all, no matter where you are.

Only those who have genuine knowledge will be respected by others.

Other than that, it's all nothingness.

And when Ji Qiu arrived in this world, it was the place where he became famous for the first time.

This is the bento for Jixia Academy!

Meng Ke looked at the composed young man in front of him, who had the demeanor of a master. He couldn't help but nodded slightly, then stood up and spoke clearly in a long tone:

"Since the establishment of our Jixia Academy, anyone who has insights into hundreds of schools of thought and founded a school of his own has been able to open a school and teach students, and become a teacher for all the people in the world!"

"Today's debate on Taoism is specially designed for Mr. Ji Qiu. Although he is generally unknown, he has discussed Taoism with the Master, and has dabbled in Confucianism, Mohism, and Military Taoism."

"Therefore, all the scholars in our country can testify today whether Mr. Ji is worthy of being ranked among the scholars and has the qualifications to teach scriptures!"

Meng Ke's voice spoke slowly and spread throughout the square. Just as he was about to continue, he saw someone suddenly interrupting in the middle of the scene:

"Mr. Meng, I understand the process. Please don't go through these lengthy prefaces and just ask Mr. Ji to clear the way!"

It was a young-looking scribe. He stood up and without delay, directly stood on the seat on the stone steps far away and bowed to Ji Qiu:

"Please clear the way, Mr. Ji!"

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused a chain reaction.

Although some people think that because of Ji Qiu's age, he is still young and may not be able to have his own theories and opinions.

But Jixia's style has been developed day by day over the past few decades.

Numerous students and many scholars have always judged their level based on their knowledge and path.

Even though Ji Qiu looks young.

But if he really had a world-shattering theory, how could all the bachelors not be convinced by him?

"Please clear the way, Mr. Ji!" There was a roar in the place, and people stood up one after another.

In this regard, none of the disciples on the seats in front of Ji Qiu expressed anything.

However, their eyes were all focused on one person at this moment.

Right now at this moment.

In the most prestigious and prosperous Jixia Academy in the world, everyone's eyes are focused on one place.

And the young man didn't mess around.

I saw him patting the cloth on his body, standing up without showing any timidity, and looked around:

"You are welcome, fellow scholars."

"In today's world, hundreds of schools of thought are contending, and all the disciples are pioneers to open up the way for our human race to last forever."

"Although I, Ji Qiu, am still young, I consider myself to be superior to the four schools of Confucianism, Mohism, Military Affairs, and Taoism. Each one has three points of view, or has found an extraordinary way forward that has never been seen before."

"So, when I set foot on Jixia today, I wanted to become famous among hundreds of schools of thought, and to open a school to teach disciples. I thought that our human race would open another sect and make the schools of thought become more prosperous!"

"It's not to say that it's enlightening, it's just an explanation of my opinion. As for whether it can be recognized by everyone, we still have to know later!"

After saying that, he cupped his hands and spoke plausibly and impassionedly, which immediately won the whole hall's response:

"good--!"

"color--!"

Cheers and applause sounded together. Although in full view of everyone, the young man had not yet begun to show off.

But this style alone has already made many people look at him with admiration.

Jixia, there is never a shortage of appreciation and affirmation for learned people, let alone applause and recognition!

Even the disciples from hundreds of schools of thought who came one after another after hearing the sound of the ancient bell on Delu Dao couldn't help but nod slightly.

The Confucian scholar in blue shirt holding the bamboo scroll stood up even more:

"In that case, I, Mr. Xun, will take the lead and discuss it with Mr. Ji."

The Confucian scholar named Xun Kuang was one of the Confucian scholars. He was very popular in Jixia and was widely imitated by scholars.

Today's various schools of thought have not yet reached the point where future generations are at war with the descendants of the divine blood, the Emperor of Zhou, and the Seven Kingdoms.

Many people still have the goal of finding extraordinary doctrines, entering into state affairs, and displaying their ambitions, with the intention of changing this era.

However, Xun Kuang held the belief that man could conquer heaven and kept a respectful distance from the divine-blood nobles.

His doctrines are constantly improving, and he not only maintains his affirmation of the Master's views, but also firmly believes that the future of ordinary people will be more brilliant than the so-called sacred and divine blood!

This unreserved attitude is still relatively advanced at present, and has naturally been supported and resonated by many people.

"The teacher claims that he has three views on Confucianism. So Xun Mou asked, I don't know why you want to study Chinese literature?"

After cupping his hands, Xun Kuang looked calm and asked first.

His question is the most broad, but it can often reveal the person's most firm views on Confucianism and Legalism.

Of course, there are also vague words that lack the essence, but only mediocre people can fool them.

For example, Xun Kuang could feel that the young man in front of him had a natural literary mind and had the appearance of a scholar. His views should not be compared with those of ordinary people.

Sure enough, as his words fell, Ji Qiu spoke clearly and without hesitation:

"The Master traveled around the world, and Mencius traveled all over the world to find out what was going on in the world."

"In today's world, rituals and music have collapsed, and the common people are in dire straits. Therefore, I believe that those who practice Confucianism and Taoism should serve as pioneers in reviving the path forward for our race. This is what I want."

After hearing this, Xun Kuang nodded slightly and continued:

"Mr. Ji's words are reasonable. Confucian scholars and Mohists traveled all over the country in search of such an answer."

"They all have different opinions on this."

"I don't know, sir, what do you think is the best way to save the world?"

Those words just now are, at best, just the opening points.

Point out the topic.

The latter part goes straight to the core.

To this, Ji Qiu answered calmly:

"In Confucianism, cultivating the literary spirit and cultivating the awe-inspiring righteousness in one's body, reading and cultivating one's character are the great ways. Since we have gained the great ways, we should spread the great ways and spread them throughout the world without being trapped in one place."

"Only by spreading the extraordinary seeds and the knowledge of reading to the entire world can we be the best way to save the world."

"For example, the Master and his great sages traveled throughout the seven countries and nine states. This is the principle."
