On the day of the elders' meeting, Xia Yu put on the elder's robe customized by Tai Academy and came to the Zhenghua Hall early. At this time, the Zhenghua Hall was already full of people, and almost all of the nearly a hundred elders had arrived, but none of the first-grade elders had arrived except for Xia Yu. As soon as Xia Yu walked into the Zhenghua Palace, the Zhenghua Palace, which had just been full of people, suddenly quieted down, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at the new elder of the Tai Academy, with different eyes, or jealousy, or envy, Xia Yu's position as a first-class elder is a peak that some people can't reach in a lifetime.

Xia Yu took a deep breath and was stared at by hundreds of pairs of eyes, but his face still did not change, and he walked calmly to the front of the hall. The seats of the elders are arranged in order of rank, so the first class is at the front, and the first class is only Xia Yu alone, so Xia Yu can only sit alone in front of hundreds of people, which is really how prominent and prominent. Xia Yu could feel that the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes behind him was about to puncture his backbone.

After waiting for a while, the Lord Synod arrived, and it turned out to be the Great Elder Tianming. The elders below couldn't help but be taken aback, and the noisy Zhenghua Hall immediately quieted down, and under the majesty of Tianming, everyone was silent. The general meeting of elders is a very important routine meeting, and the presiding person must be a member of the Eight Saints of Taixue, but not necessarily who they are. However, the Great Elder of Tianming had never presided over the Council of Elders. So as soon as he appeared, the elders were all amazed.

Tianming's face was majestic, and he didn't drag mud and water, and when he went to the hall, he opened his mouth and went straight to the topic of today's conference:

"Present. Although my Tai Academy is still called the No. 1 Academy in the world, in fact, I think you should also understand in your hearts that the reputation of the No. 1 in the world is actually in jeopardy. Since the rise of our Tai Academy, it has indeed cultivated many elite disciples, and these disciples have spread all over the world, and they have also played the prestige of our Tai Academy. However, it was not long before other great powers followed suit, the Thunder Empire's Thunder Pool Academy, and the Snow Empire's Winterhold Academy. The Sea Forest Academy of the Sea Empire has risen one after another. These three colleges are up-and-comers though. But they are backed by a powerful empire, and they are all very strong. Although our Huaguo has also been thriving over the years, it is still not comparable to the three major empires, and our only advantage is this Tai Academy. ”

The opening chapter of Tianming talks about the current form of Tai Academy. Then he changed his mind. I'm starting to talk about the problem.

"I've been in the position of Grand Elder for ten years. Tai Academy has been moving forward steadily in my hands, although there is no big storm, but there has been no breakthrough. I feel that the development of Tai College has encountered a bottleneck, and I have called all my colleagues today to let you give advice to Tai College, how to break through the bottleneck, let Tai College continue to develop, and how to keep the reputation of this [No. 1 College in the world]. Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any comments, please let them know now. ”

After Tianming finished speaking, he looked at the elders expectantly, but it was quiet below, and no one stood up to give advice. Tianming couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but then, he suddenly found that Xia Yu, who was sitting in front of him, lowered his head slightly, with a pensive look.

Does this kid have any ideas?

Seeing that no one spoke, Tianming had no choice but to skip this topic: "After all, the time at the meeting is limited, you must think carefully after you go back, the survival of the Tai Academy is related to the interests of everyone here, if anyone has any ideas, they can directly come to Zhenghua Hall to report to me, whether it is morning or evening." Okay, so let's move on to the next topic......"

Since the first topic, Xia Yu has been in deep thought, and he didn't listen to what Tianming said later, and when he came to his senses, the meeting was over, and the elders left their seats one after another, and they all began to walk out.

As soon as Xia Yu saw that everyone else was gone, he immediately got up and wanted to follow the others, but as soon as he stood up, Tianming stopped him: "Xia Yu, you stay." ”

"Huh?!" Xia Yu was stunned, but still sat down obediently again.

As soon as they saw that Xia Yu was left alone, the elders who had left immediately gloated and snickered.

"Hey, look, Xia Yu was stopped by the Great Elder. ”

"Hehe, it's time for him, who let him desert during the meeting, Elder Tai has always been strict, and he will definitely not be spared. ”

After everyone else left, only Xia Yu and the Eight Sages of Taixue were left in the huge Zhenghua Hall. Xia Yu sat in front of the Eight Sages of Taixue by himself, looking at Tianming for some reason, waiting for the Great Elder to speak.

Tianming's face was cold, he looked at Xia Yu for a while, and said, "Xia Yu, when I had a meeting just now, you kept wandering, right?"

Xia Yu smiled awkwardly, immediately stood up, confessed his guilt, and said bluntly: "I am indeed distracted, after the Great Elder finished talking about the first topic, I have been thinking about how to make the Tai Academy continue to develop, and my thoughts have accidentally fallen into it, so that the outside world has turned a deaf ear, and I hope that the Great Elder will punish me." ”

When Tianming heard this, he couldn't help but be interested: "Oh?!It turns out that you have been thinking about this for a long time, so what result have you come up with?"

Xia Yu smiled confidently, and immediately replied: "It is a foolish opinion of the younger generation, I think that the development of the Tai Academy has been more than 60 years, and the world today has already undergone earth-shaking changes compared with 60 years ago, but the various laws and regulations and rituals used by the Tai Academy are still the same system established by the dean back then, although there are many improvements, but they are only slightly changed on the original basis, and there is no change in essence." Therefore, in my opinion, if Tai Academy wants to continue to flourish without being eliminated by the times, reform is the only way out!"

"Reform?!" Tianming was suddenly startled, Xia Yu's words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in his heart. His face gradually became stern, he originally just wanted to educate Xia Yu a little, but he never imagined that Xia Yu would say such earth-shattering words. "Then what do you think, how should it be reformed?"

"Since we want to reform, we must make a big change, a thorough change. It's just ......" Xia Yu smiled helplessly. "There was so little time in the meeting, and I just thought of two points, and they were both vague, just determined the general direction. ”

"It's okay, just talk about the two points that come to mind. Tianming immediately said, looking impatient.

So, Xia Yu began to elaborate his theory of change: "Hmm...... I think, firstly, the Tai Academy must strengthen the guidance of the disciples' cultivation, forgive me for being rude, I feel that the current Tai Academy does not have the appearance of an academy at all, and what the Tai Academy gives to the disciples is complete freedom, and completely let the disciples practice on their own. This seems to give the disciples a high degree of freedom to practice, but I feel that this kind of management method that almost does not ask questions actually greatly restricts the growth of talents. Although the Tai Academy provides the disciples with the world's largest library of books, the Wanjing Pavilion, provides the disciples with a variety of tasks, and there are countless treasures and treasures of the three secret realms, but in my opinion, the Tai Academy can do much more than that, I take the liberty to ask the Great Elder a question, what does the Great Elder think is the most important thing in an academy?"
