The scholars of Qinglian Academy always have a different way of thinking.

In the past few decades or even hundreds of years, the Wuxiang Sword Academy has been like a towering mountain, not only making the sword cultivators of the academy look up to the mountain, but also overwhelming the people who are even heavier. So much so that when it came to the generation of the Sang sisters, the scholars simply had the idea of giving up resistance.

Because it can't be drawn at all, the advantage of the academy is not in battlefield fighting, but in theoretical research. The primary criterion for recruiting people in the academy is to have high intelligence, and all other conditions are secondary, and even the qualifications for cultivating immortals can not be excellent, as long as they can innovate in theory, the treatment is no different from those who have cultivated to a high level. Under such a mechanism, why should the academy be shorter and longer than the sword academy that emphasizes actual combat?

Everyone is in the same three houses, with equal status, and the resources in their hands are similar, but the fields of expertise are different and each has its own strengths. In such a situation, attacking the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings, of course, cannot be fought.

But after the sword fighting conference on June 6, many people's concepts have changed dramatically.

It turns out that the Wuxiang Sword Academy is not that strong, it's just that we haven't played to our strengths before!

What are the advantages? Of course, it is an intellectual advantage, and we should not use the rules of our opponents to fight them in the field that they are good at in the first place. And how to transfer the battlefield, the new dean has already given an almost perfect answer.

Shen Qingming won against Lu Qun, half by strength, and half by tactics - tactics refer to the feint attack tactics of pretending to master a powerful swordsmanship with the door panel on his back. In terms of strength, Shen Qingming's strength actually has an element of tricks, her realm when she was about to fight was temporarily improved by relying on the secret method of Golden Jade City, and her foundation was far less solid than that of Lu Qunlai. And her immovable hegemonic body is even easier to play miracles against unprepared people.

Under the rules of one game, these unexpected factors on Shen Qingming can easily give her an advantage. But if the rule is changed to two wins in three games and three wins in five games, it is difficult to say the number of wins and losses.

As for the advantage of the mixed group, it is even more absurd, Wang Jiu actually directly took out the corpse of the dead man to transform, and then used the biochemical beast to fight against the other party's carefully cultivated mad sword cultivation, which was simply a victory won by stepping on the rules, which was really a bit shameless in the eyes of the people of the Wuxiang Sword Academy.

But the people in the academy don't think so.

In the eyes of the academy people, the so-called rules are formulated for people to use, whether they can use the rules well is also a part of strength, and Wang Jiu's ability to use the rules is the embodiment of strength. The previous deans of the academy were far from having this kind of ability, and they stupidly ran to the ring and duel with the barbarians of the Sword Academy with barbaric rules, completely discarding the IQ advantage of the academy people...... In this case, it's no wonder if you don't lose!

And as long as you make good use of the rules and can give full play to the strengths of the academy, the Wuxiang Sword Academy is not to be afraid at all. After all, humans are different from animals, and from an individual point of view, the core point is intellectual superiority. Although this advantage is not absolute—some of the alien beasts that have been created by heaven and earth have an intelligence level that is still higher than that of human beings—but in general, human intelligence is superior to that of the rest of living beings. And this advantage is enough to suppress all the strengths of other beings. What is born strong, mastering the five elements of supernatural powers, etc., is not as useful as a human being's intellectual advantage.

Because of the superiority of intelligence, they know how to unite and cooperate, so they know how to use the law of the Great Dao, so they know how to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, so they know how to cut the grass and eradicate other competitors on the mainland. These thousands of years, tens of thousands of years of accumulation, have the status of the lord of all things.

In simple terms, an intellectual advantage should be greater than any other advantage. In the past, the scholars of Qinglian Academy were always beaten all over the ground by the sword cultivators of the Sword Academy in the ring, so when they mentioned the so-called intellectual advantage, they were also a little unreasonable. After all, the intellectual superiority of human beings is finally manifested by transforming it into military superiority. The scholars of the academy boast of their wisdom and scheming every day, why can't they think of a way to compete with the Wuxiang Sword Academy in the ring?

Now, Wang Jiu has finally pointed out a sunny avenue for people.

Walking along this road, Qinglian Academy's intellectual superiority can be reflected, and the technology and theories accumulated by the academy for thousands of years can be turned into real combat effectiveness. Zhang Lan, who appeared today, is just a hastily completed prototype, and its functions in all aspects are far from reaching the ideal value. If in time, all the elite forces of the academy's Wanwu Group are gathered, then the drawings designed by Wang Jiu can truly become a reality.

What's more, today's battle has also opened up a new way of thinking for the scholars, since it is feasible to transform the corpse with the technology of the Wanwu Group, can the technology of other groups also be used?

In the past, scholars only thought that sword fighting was the work of the sword team, but now it seems that this kind of thinking is too narrow. As long as you open your eyes, every skill in the academy can be transformed into swordsmanship, and you can compete with the sword cultivators of the sword academy in the ring!

——

From this point of view, Wang Jiu's goal in this sword fighting conference can be regarded as a successful achievement, and the monks of the academy have indeed regained their morale and raised their enthusiasm for kendo. Although there is blind optimism in it, it is harmless and does not affect the successful outcome of this battle.

What's more, when Wang Jiu led the team back to the academy, he did not return empty-handed.

After the sword fight, although the victory was not divided in theory, Wang Xiao took the initiative to admit defeat very openly, and offered a total of 530,000 spirit stones on the spot.

Objectively speaking, Wang Xiao is very happy when he admits defeat, and most of the monks of the Sword Academy have a rather straightforward temperament - people are like their swords. Winning is winning, losing is losing, although the opponents of the academy have used some less upright means, but the sword cultivators of the Sword Academy have never been pedantic monks who are obsessed with being above board, and it is an objective fact that they can't beat others, and it is also a fact that they have not been able to find out where others have violated the rules, so there is no need to find more excuses.

But the compensation after admitting defeat is a little painful. Although the Wuxiang Sword Academy is one of the three academies, in fact, the funds in the public treasury have always been not very abundant, and they are even poorer than places like Qinglian Academy that spend money on research.

On the one hand, the Wuxiang Sword Academy has always lacked talent in terms of hair generation and financial management, and there is no genius like Zhao Shenlu, who turns stones into gold, so in terms of entry, it has been very stable for thousands of years, and there has been no breakthrough. In terms of output, it often surprises people.

These geniuses of the Sword Academy, needless to say, the talent of the sword is not to be said, and the Quanxiangzhou Continent is also second to none, but the ability to cause trouble is also second to none. The clues can be seen from the crooked buildings inside the Sword Academy alone-there are no rules for these monks who are obsessed with swordsmanship, and Xiaobai is just the best among them, not unique. And with these geniuses, the annual expenses of the Sword Academy are not a few, and after a year, there are very few resources that can be saved. Hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, for the Phaseless Sword Academy, is also a huge amount of money.

What's more, when the Sword Academy and the Sang sisters made a gambling contract, they originally planned to make a sum of money, and considering the past history of the two houses fighting, this extra money was basically a certainty, so the relevant budgets were also arranged, and as a result, today's battle, instead of additional income, they lost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and the addition of the two houses directly added a gap of millions of spirit stones!

The budget of millions of spirit stones made Wang Xiao's face turn blue and purple when he paid the money, and he wanted to commit suicide on the spot. He even seriously considered the possibility for a while, after all, the Sword Academy was full of talents, and the level of monks who were no less than him could always find a few, but a million spirit stones were really hard to find...... Moreover, there was such a big omission in his tenure, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that he will have to make a heavy note in the history books.

He has been conscientious for decades, and he has been running the Sword Academy so far, although he can't talk about any groundbreaking achievements, but he also claims to be the master of the Sword Academy, but if he falls into such a stroke, his evaluation is difficult to say......

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately made a decision, of course he had to lose this money, but in addition to losing money, he had to try his best to make up for the loss, at least to make the money worthwhile.

It should be said that Wang Xiao was able to do it steadily in the position of dean for decades with the resources of a Chinese person, and convinced a group of fellow monks whose talents were much higher than him, of course, there are outstanding things, and this ability to adapt to changes is one of them.

While Wang Xiao was paying the money, he thought of a whole set of rhetoric.

"Dean Wang Jiu, this sword fighting conference, to be honest, both the process and the result, have greatly surprised us, of course, there are some grievances and unwillingness, but more is shocking."

Wang Xiao said while brewing his tone and expression, although he is good at improvisation, but he is straightforward by nature, and he is not good at this kind of false work, but for the next goal, he has to reluctantly make it difficult.

"It turns out that this sword fighting can still be fought like this, and the original interpretation and use of the rules can go to this point. It turns out that the world of kendo is far wider and more exciting than we thought. Especially Zhang Lan, who has seen your academy, calmed down and thought, such a technique, such courage, our sword academy does not have. On the other hand, we have high hopes that the well-built Crazy Sword Cultivation will be pediatric compared to the biological transformation technology of your hospital. Over the years, the Wuxiang Sword Academy and the Qinglian Academy have competed with each other, winning all battles, but it has made us complacent. This time we were willing to bow down to the sword fight, but we also saw the way forward. In the past few decades or even hundreds of years, our Sword Academy has taken the lead, and we have to rely on ourselves to explore the road ahead, but now, we finally have someone to catch up with and learn from. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiao said sincerely: "So next, I hope that your institute can accept a few students sent by our institute to help us improve our kendo level!" ”
