Jiang Ruyue's Debate at the Imperial Examination Hall

At dawn, the sun rose.

A few more flowers bloomed in the capital.

Spring silently entered late spring.

The Capital City Imperial Examination Hall displayed its bustling festivity early in the morning.

Not only were there red flowers, green trees, and red carpets spread across the ground inside, even the wildflowers beyond the examination hall walls had bloomed.

Someone had personally witnessed dozens of examination hall grandmasters leaving the hall at sunset yesterday, specifically using Literary Way Power to force the late-spring flowers into bloom.

Because today was a great day for the examination hall.

A super heavyweight figure would debate the Dao at the examination hall today.

Dao discussions took place almost every month, but discussions led by heavyweight figures were seldom seen.

What sort of figure counted as heavyweight?

The masters of the Three Academies and One Pavilion personally debating the Dao—heavyweight!

An overseas super grandmaster debating the Dao—heavyweight!

A reclusive elder with an extraordinary standing upon the Literary Altar debating the Dao—heavyweight!

An expert from the Holy Hall debating the Dao was naturally even more heavyweight!

There seemed to be quite a few heavyweight Dao discussions, but in truth, such opportunities were pitifully rare.

How could the leaders of the Three Academies and One Pavilion casually debate the Dao?

How many overseas super grandmasters could there be?

The reclusive elders cherished their feathers all the more and seldom debated lightly. Why? Because a Dao discussion was a double-edged sword. If it went well, one would shine brilliantly upon the Literary Altar; if it went poorly, or lacked novelty, not only would it gain no points, it would instead cause one to fall from the altar.

Those super grandmasters who had already achieved fame and success did not dare debate lightly. They feared falling from the altar.
