Li Lieqi looked at the barbarian soldiers around him.

They wore animal skins, carried homemade stone tools, clubs, and simple armor, but were stronger and more robust than Li Qi's soldiers.

Her focus was different from Li Qi's. She didn't care why there were so many ninth-rank beings in this world, nor did she care about the reasons behind it. So, the first thing she asked about was the layout of this grotto-heaven.

From these people, she learned that this grotto-heaven was only about 1,500 li in circumference, quite small, with a total population of about two million, divided into two countries, north and south.

In the south, people cultivate grains and live by farming.

In the northern regions, people herd cattle and sheep and live by hunting.

It really is... a configuration that couldn't be more classic.

Given this, it's easy to guess what will happen next.

The first lesson is to gather supplies and make preparations for battle. The next lesson will definitely be to personally lead troops and try to apply Military School strategies in practice.

Li Qi's perfunctory attitude made her very unhappy. Although she couldn't hit him, she could win him over in class.

If she could win Li Qi's admiration, Li Qi would surely not hesitate to give evasive and perfunctory answers when asked about the matter of preaching and transmitting the Dharma.

With this idea in mind, Li Lieqi began collecting grain and fodder.

Almost simultaneously, Li Qi also began his own collection work.

This is a test of their overall planning and calculation abilities. Of course, it's impossible to let Li Qi collect the taxes himself. Otherwise, given the short distance, he could have easily solved the problem by himself carrying Mustard Seed Bag.

But that's meaningless; this is a test of coordination skills, not a test of Divine Ability.

The manifestation of his overall planning ability is that he can amplify everything and expand this cave into an entire world cluster. Even with a group of sixth-rank warriors under his command who have the ability to travel beyond the region, Li Qi can still make the optimal solution without relying on Divine Ability.

This is also the most important ability of Military School, and it is also what Human Path excels at.

To lead others, one doesn't need to be exceptionally strong, just capable enough.

Alone, one's wisdom is no match for Divine Ability.

If everyone works together, Divine Ability are no match for wisdom in most cases.

Li Qi even vaguely realized that perhaps this ability to coordinate was the 'foundation' of all official positions in the Human Path.

It's true, the more you understand, the more alarmed you become.

It's unbearable.

However, you don't need to shoulder the burden yourself; if the sky falls, Wushen Mountain will hold it up.

I should first figure out the current situation myself.

Li Qi was very curious about the reason for such a high success rate of achieving the ninth rank.

And... what is it behind this grotto that can True Knowledge Dao Charm?

He originally just wanted to familiarize himself with Military School strategy, but these two things caught his attention. The Unseen feeling from the Shaman made him feel that these two things were of great use.

Then I'll have to continue attending classes and try to stay here a little longer.

The orders for levying taxes were then issued one after another.

Meanwhile, outside the cave, the Ranger General who was acting as the teacher observed the results of the students at different tables.

Each desk is like a miniature world, but they are all basically the same, divided into north and south sections, to help students practice methods of leading troops and overall planning.

The reason they look so similar is that they were originally one cave divided into so many parts.

He had a plan for everyone in mind.

A fifth-grade mind can process extremely large amounts of data; even observing the arrangements made by dozens of students for hundreds of thousands of people is a breeze.

"Hmm, these three people are interesting." The Ranger General sensed the different arrangements made by each person.

Then, he started scoring.

The first student's name was Zhang Qi.

So far, 30,000 laborers have been arranged and divided into 3,000 teams. Detailed routes have been planned for them, and they have been divided into different squads to transport just the right amount of supplies without disrupting people's livelihoods.

Well done, Class B.

He gave the form a rating.

While he was grading, some students who were auditing the class but not attending were also watching the grading process.

At the Imperial Academy, every class had people auditing the proceedings.

Some are returning students, usually waiting for acquaintances or to see if they like the course and whether it suits them.

There were also those who, although they failed to pass the imperial academy entrance exam, obtained the qualification to audit classes. This was a rare opportunity for them, and even just auditing classes was something they had always dreamed of.

This class was no exception.

Upon seeing the score given by the Ranger General, the people listening below began to whisper and murmur among themselves.

"This arrangement is almost perfect, so why is it only a second-tier school?"

"Thirty thousand people were assigned different routes within a Chen, and this did not place a heavy burden on ordinary people. No place was burdened with excessive supplies. The routes were also arranged reasonably, without detours, and were basically the shortest routes... There should be nothing to complain about."

How could Cai Yizhong devise such a reasonable plan in less than a Chen?

The onlookers were somewhat confused.

Only the older students seemed unfazed.

But the Ranger General did not answer them; instead, he continued filling in the scores.

B below.

C.

Ding Xia.

B in.

One achievement after another was written down. At first, the people below discussed it animatedly, but later they simply looked at each other blankly, not knowing what to say.

Because...

Even what seemed like a perfect setup to them was nothing in the eyes of this Ranger General. He scored thirty or forty points in a row, but didn't get a single A grade. The best he got was only B grade.

The one on B's page had already made them exclaim in surprise that such a thing was possible, and that they never thought that such a thing could be done.

The person who obtained the second item, after careful calculation, spent half Chen teaching the aristocratic families to form an array. Using his Yin-Yang School method, he activated a pre-existing rift in the earth's veins, using minimal effort to achieve maximum effect, causing a mountain range to collapse and connecting two great rivers.

Without any external assistance, these soldiers built a canal within half a Chen using only their own strength, more than tripling the efficiency of transporting supplies!

However, even with such an operation, it only reached level B?

So, who can get a Grade A rating?

The scoring continued, and everyone already knew that those who couldn't get a score from B had been eliminated.

After that, there's no need to attend Military School classes anymore.

These observers were impressed by the rigor of the Imperial Academy, and at the same time looked forward to the subsequent grading.

Who can get an A grade? What level of skill is required to get an A grade?

After waiting a while, all the onlookers raised their heads!

The first A has been born!

They watched as the teacher wrote down their grades and names.

Li Lieqi below.

After seeing the results, these people immediately went to see what the person had done.

The appearance of the first A grader made everyone, including the previously calm senior students, raise their heads to see how the freshman who received an A grade managed to do it.

In the Imperial Academy, anyone who can achieve a grade of 'A' means that their skill level has surpassed 99% of others of the same rank!

Moreover, this was an A grade awarded to a freshman, which was enough to surprise even the senior students.

Everyone quickly used their Divine Ability to see what the freshman Li Lieqi was going to do.

Upon seeing this, everyone was filled with admiration and exclaimed in praise.

"There's actually such an option? This is really... crude, but unique," someone commented.

"She's truly amazing. Even if I knew this move, I probably couldn't learn it at all. This is something only she could do, right?"

"This is allowed? Isn't this cheating?!" some students exclaimed in disbelief.

Because they saw that... what Li Lieqi did was not just ordinary fundraising, but rather he began to understand the situation and then gave a speech to inspire people!

Within the grotto-heaven she controlled, it was still divided into two kingdoms, North and South, each with deep-seated hatred for the other.

Upon arriving, she first learned about the specific situation, analyzed the fighting strength and consumption of the laborers and ordinary people, and after drawing a practical conclusion, she immediately mounted her horse and delivered an exciting speech!

Her heroic figure strode on horseback, and she called out to everyone on the grassland in a loud voice.

Call upon them to plunder, to finish the job in one fell swoop.

As she said before.

Farmers on the fertile land harvest grains according to the seasons.

Hunters on the grasslands should harvest them according to the seasons!

Such a call was extremely inspiring, and coupled with her seemingly charismatic personality, wherever she went, the residents of the grasslands were filled with enthusiasm and followed her.

Soon, she gathered 10,000 soldiers instead of the promised 5,000, mobilized more laborers, interrupted production and daily life, and fully demonstrated the war potential of the Northern Kingdom.

While maintaining this mobilization rate, she also ensured the stability of the internal affairs department, arranging a sufficient allocation system that would not collapse within two months.

All I can say is that it is extremely, extremely beautiful.

Although it can be considered militaristic, as long as there are sufficient external resources to replenish the country, that is... to be able to plunder the Southern Kingdom, then it is all worthwhile.

The military strength that the North can currently exert is probably more than twice that of the South.

Is this the strength of a 'Grade A'?

Such strategic and organizational skills are truly unreplicable.

Coordination is not just about following procedures step by step, but about making the best use of the collective strength.

The power of a group cannot be combined without overall planning, and this is what Military School need to do.

Li Lieqi performed exceptionally well in this regard.

Admittedly, some might say that such an operation is gambling, just like the prophecy of "the army wins but the country loses".

But in reality, those who understand Military School know that this is not the case at all.

Faced with this question, an older student stepped forward to explain to the auditors, "Don't think this is some kind of poison to quench thirst; in fact, this technique is quite ingenious."

Then, he began to explain in detail to the students who were auditing the class.

This is not a case of military victory leading to national defeat. In fact, according to Li Lieqi's actions:

To lose means both military defeat and national defeat.

If we win, it means the army wins and the country wins.

If they win, they could even annex the Southern Kingdom in one fell swoop, greatly increasing the power of the Northern Kingdom and unifying this entire land.

Furthermore, judging from the current situation, Li Lieqi strength and mobilizable combat power are twice that of the Southern Kingdom, and they also have the advantage of high morale. Moreover, they have just arrived at the time when the Southern Kingdom is preparing for the autumn harvest.

Everything was arranged so perfectly that the odds of winning were skyrocketing. This wasn't gambling at all; it was a well-timed counterattack with an 80% chance of success.

Timing, resource control, and most fundamentally, the so-called "coordination" ability.

Overall planning is not just about coordinating supplies.

The hearts and minds of the people are the most important factor in overall planning.

After witnessing this operation, and with the experienced students explaining it to everyone, they finally realized that the person who played A was not satisfied with the move.

It's undeniable that the gap has indeed widened.

The appearance of the first student, let's call him A, inspired admiration in the students who were observing the class.

The Imperial Academy is indeed full of hidden talents.

However, before everyone's surprise could subside, the Ranger General immediately exclaimed "Eh!" and his expression turned to surprise.

Then, he observed carefully and pondered for a few seconds.

Next, write down the next score:

Li Qi, ranked in the first class.

Class A?!

Everyone was shocked!

The first one was already astonishing, so what level is this second one?

So the people around them quickly sped up their note-taking, recording the previous excellent answer so they could study it later.

These are all places where we can learn. Isn't that what auditing classes is all about? When we go out and stand on our own in the future, these are experiences that we can use as a reference, and they might even save our lives.

After the record was finished, everyone crowded around again to observe the answer in option A.

But upon seeing this, everyone was confused again.

The classroom fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

"This... this can get you into the top tier?"

"Impossible, isn't that Yi Shang's operation far more impressive? He merely used the array diagram to manipulate the earth's energy, achieving great results with minimal effort. In half Chen, without relying on any of his own strength, he created a simple canal solely through the soldiers forming an array. It's simply miraculous."

"How was that Jia Xia inferior to him? He didn't even try to manage morale; he just issued tasks. These laborers have absolutely no morale!"

"Is this a mistake? I don't think this can get me into the top tier. Senior, could you explain it to me?"

Some clever auditors have already gone to ask the senior students next to them.

However, even the senior students haven't figured it out yet.

Everyone was puzzled.

Because this person named Li Qi didn't do anything underhanded at all.

The methods he used were basically the same as those who got grades B and C; they were almost identical.

Simply arrange routes, split into small teams, go to different cities to collect military rations, coordinate supplies, arrange specific matters, and then ensure that the army is well-fed and clothed.

At first glance, it could be said that there was no operation at all, not even as good as the person who opened the canal, at least that person had some ingenious ideas and did a good job in overall planning.

Everyone was confused.

Just then, an older student suddenly said, "Wait a minute, look, he's expanded his army. How come he has 50% more soldiers than others?"
