[Seemingly noticing your low spirits, the top student smiled and comforted you.]
He bluntly said, "Why do you think so much?"
[For a powerful individual like you who can casually produce Star Crystal, you should be happy to face this martial arts exam format.]
[Because judging from the weight given to martial arts exams, as long as your child isn't completely stupid, getting into a top university in the country, or even Martial God University, would be a piece of cake under your guidance.]
[After all, the Star Crystal you casually produced are extremely precious body-tempering treasures!]
[Especially yours, the color and purity are exceptionally pure. Judging from the knowledge he gained in his elective appraisal course, yours is a top-grade treasure, a masterpiece recently refined by a powerful being with great supernatural abilities, with excellent body-tempering effects.]
[Of course, he knows his own limitations; with his mediocre judgment, errors in assessment are commonplace.]
[But no matter what, you're a beneficiary of the system, you shouldn't be so downcast.]
[Angry God of Wealth of Wealth! You were initially just disappointed, but when you heard the top scholar use the term "beneficiary," you became extremely angry.]
[Under this extremely rigid martial arts examination system, all benefits will tilt towards the wealthy and powerful. Even if there are geniuses among ordinary families, unless Heavenly Mandate Bearer, who can rise to prominence?]
How can the educational resources provided by good schools, and the vast disparities arising from different family circumstances, be judged solely by Martial Dao prowess?
[This rigid martial arts exam model borrows from the college entrance examination model before the emergence of Martial Dao, but its inherent unfairness and injustice, as well as its ability to select truly talented individuals, are far inferior to the college entrance examination model.]
While nationwide examinations emphasize relative fairness, if the very purpose of martial arts exams—to select Martial Dao geniuses and push the limits of Martial Dao— is abandoned, then what value do they still hold?
[With so many talented people in the world, even an undergraduate can see the advantages and disadvantages involved. How could the higher-ups in the Sub-Space-Time not see it?]
[So you ask the top scholar, who finalized the martial arts exam format?]
[The top-scoring student paused slightly, taken aback by your question.]
He doesn't understand why your tone sounds angry.
Isn't this something everyone already knows?
[And he was just a small-time critic; while watching a show, he happened to meet someone he got along with and who was generous, and when the topic of Martial Dao development came up, he couldn't help but want to have a long chat about life.]
[Seeing your increasingly somber tone, he felt a sense of foreboding.]
[Are you trying to cause trouble?]
[Thinking of this, the top scholar anxiously tried to soothe the dangerous thoughts that shouldn't be lurking in your mind.]
[Although he judged you to be strong through the Star Crystal, you are definitely not as strong as Lord Wealth Shadow, who is currently the Minister of the Martial Department. He is at the Emperor Rank Limit, a top expert on the Huaxia Top 100 Rankings.]
[Most importantly, both the Minister of the Martial Department, Wealth Shadow, and the Vice Minister of the Martial Department Wealth Ghost, were once subordinates of the great God of Wealth.]
[Although he somewhat disapproved of the rigid format of martial arts exams and the current slow pace of Martial Dao development, he still held the Great God of Wealth in the highest esteem.]
This is also the fundamental reason why he chose to major in Heavenly Official Affairs!
[For a child who grew up listening to stories of the great God of Wealth, what could be more tempting than studying the God of Wealth and the Heavenly Official, or even making a living from it in the future?]
[He even harbored a grand ambition: if he could, through his research, revise some of the information in the history of the God of Wealth, he would truly die without regrets.]
[So no matter what, he doesn't want you to cause trouble.]
[If you are not strong, the result of causing trouble will be a regrettable tragedy.]
[But if you are very strong, the consequences of your actions will likely cause a huge uproar within Huaxia.]
Given the current situation, maintaining stability should remain the top priority domestically.
"The Wealth Shadow, the Wealth Ghost, and the Wealth Spirit —they're all still alive this time!"
"Fine."
Su Wen sighed softly. Hearing news of them again after sixty years, and even knowing that they had all become Emperor Rank Limit experts, was a wonderful thing.
But why couldn't he feel happy?
Minister of the Martial Department is Wealth Shadow!
This is understandable. After all, given Wealth Shadow's high regard for the God of Wealth and his own emphasis on Martial Dao, it's not surprising that Wealth Shadow became the head of the Martial Department.
Especially when Wealth Shadow still possessed the strength of Emperor Rank Limit, no one could say anything about his appointment.
He also vaguely remembered the Wealth Ghost.
Although he was dressed like a pauper, he was much richer than his good friend Wealth Spirit.
The Wealth Ghost became the deputy minister; it seems the entire Martial Department is under his control!
However, according to his vision and the future of Martial Dao, the martial arts examination should not be such a rigid model.
What's the point of doing this?
Besides producing a group of martial artists with rigid thinking and a lack of innovative ideas, how many masters can be cultivated?
If all martial artists were as reckless as the Battle God, the development of Martial Dao would likely fall into a terrible stagnation.
Especially if I travel to a place hundreds or thousands of years later, my progress in Martial Dao might be ridiculously slow!
Of course, this situation may not occur.
As long as there are enough enemies, they are strong enough, and they are ruthless and swift enough, one will not see the Martial Dao stagnant.
After all, if everyone dies, what's the point of discussing the development of Martial Dao?
"If this martial arts exam system was indeed created by Wealth Shadow and his gang..."
Su Wen narrowed his eyes. Although Wealth Shadow had not yet awakened, he had just been recruited by the National University of Defense Technology for targeted training.
But if this model really was created by the other party, then I'll have to give Wealth Shadow some extra practice on his basic skills.
How long has my Sub-Space-Time been dead?
Has he forgotten his own principles of Martial Dao?
As for the Star God...
He manages the entire Huaxia and guides the direction of the entire civilization; there are simply too many things to manage and do.
He probably wouldn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the martial arts exam. Even if he did, the news he would likely only be good news such as new breakthroughs in the exam and further development of the upper limit of Martial Dao.
"This top student's life goal is actually this?"
Looking at the ambitious plans of this top scholar from the Zhongyuan Province in the future Sub-Space-Time, Su Wen smiled helplessly.
What's so good about revising the history of the God of Wealth?
Moreover, what this God of Wealth can do, and what he is capable of doing, is really limited.
The development of Martial Dao also did not suit his wishes.
Most importantly, he didn't care about this so-called empty fame and lasting legacy.
How long can those destined by Divine Mandate Bearer live?
After becoming Demigod, one possesses an almost infinite lifespan.
The phrase "transcending the three realms and outside the five elements" perfectly describes Demigod.
Therefore, his consistent idea has always been for everyone to live a peaceful and stable life.
Since they possess unlimited lifespan and immense power, wouldn't it be better to use it for leisure and entertainment?
For example, one day in the future, he will call on the Battle God to go fishing, follow the Star God to play chess, and tour the country with the Theater God to perform plays.
Or they might steal snacks from the Wind God when they have nothing to do, or read philosophy books with the Shadow God. These are all very ordinary little things, but for them, doing these little things is really difficult.
