Chapter 228 Hua Kai vs Qin Jiao

Although Hua Kai didn't say much in the last debate, he became famous in Xianyang City after being copied down by students of Xianyang Academy.

Many people said that his talent had surpassed others, but most of them were still unconvinced. Qin Jiao, as a son of Qin State, had been known as a genius since childhood. Now, there is no one in the entire Xianyang Academy who can match his talent.

Therefore, when the debate competition came again, many people were looking forward to Hua Kai choosing Qin Jiao as his opponent, and Hua Kai seemed to be eager to try when he saw Qin Jiao!

"I choose number two, Qin Jiao, the saint of Xianyang Academy!" Hua Kai went on stage and the audience shouted happily.

Qin Jiao smiled and stepped onto the debate stage and bowed to everyone. The two stood opposite each other and everyone was waiting for the wonderful debate to begin.

"According to the rules, Hua Shengzi is in the front, so I should speak first. Please ask Hua Shengzi, how to govern the world?" Qin Jiao's debate was completely different from that of ordinary students. He only said a few words, and everyone seemed to see that the people, the noble families, and the hundreds of schools of thought were all living in their own ways. The country played a big role in it, but it could only manage the noble families. The people's governance still depended on the noble families.

"The wall is built for the 'country', and of course the country should be used to govern the world!" Hua Kai said lightly.

When everyone heard Hua Kai's voice, they couldn't help but think of the sacrifices made by the country to protect the people from aggression and for the other side's wild beasts.

"However, most people follow the noble families and don't know what the country is. Why do the various schools of thought travel between the countries?" Qin Jiao was not secretive at all. He led the topic to the importance of the country step by step.

Ordinary people do not know the king's order, and all of them respect the aristocratic families. However, most of the students of the various schools of thought have no concept of the country, and they are vaguely superior to the country. Many small and medium-sized countries in the Central Plains even only learn the thoughts of Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism or Mohism, and the country is completely controlled by various schools.

Some people in the audience even wondered whether the thoughts of the various schools of thought were really useful. If the thoughts of the various schools of thought had not appeared, would the people live better?

The words of the two people made everyone immersed in it. The children of the Qin family were extremely excited when they heard this. The various schools of thought did hinder the rule of various countries.

"The country is the foundation of the family, and the family is the foundation of the people. However, the hundreds of schools of thought can make the country prosperous, and the two complement each other. There are conflicts between countries, let alone the hundreds of schools of thought. The people have conflicts, and the country is the same. If mankind loses the spirit of striving, it will perish!"

Many people nodded when Hua Kai said this. Struggle and fighting are the basis for human survival in the world. It seems reasonable for the hundreds of schools of thought to fight with various countries. Without fighting, there will be no progress. How can the human race develop?

Everyone was fascinated by their debate. The debate between the two was a debate of knowledge and qualifications. Hua Kai could easily neutralize every attack from the other side, which made everyone admire their knowledge.

Qin Jiao gradually led the topic to the topic of unification. Hua Kai believed that human beings have always lived in contradictions and struggles. If they are unified, human contradictions will inevitably shift. The new contradictions may be more acute than those between countries. The two sides started the debate from cultivation to the topic of unification.

As a witness of China's 5,000-year history, Hua Kai led the transformation of different social contradictions from different systems. Qin Jiao was obviously not his opponent. In just two hours, Hua Kai said that institutional innovation lies in the king, and the king's ability lies in the constraints of cultural thoughts. The whole debate Hua Kai returned to the starting point.

"Hua Shengzi's talent is not as good as Qin Jiao! Teach me!" Qin Jiao bowed his head and admitted defeat.

At this moment, everyone heard that Hua Kai had won before they came out of the debate world between the two. The host stepped forward to read out the results of the debate, and Hua Kai stood up and returned to his seat.

All the students were still immersed in the debate between the two at this time. They thought about whether they could do better than Hua Kai or Qin Jiao if they were in their positions. The result was that no matter which of the two they met, they had no chance of winning.

The host announced that the debate was over today, and all contestants could go back to learn and digest the content of today's debate. Soon, every sentence in the debate between the two was heard in Xianyang Academy, and they needed to come down and analyze the deep meaning carefully.

Hua Kai entered the family space at night and found that the family's luck value had increased by more than 2,700 points today. Now the total family luck value has reached 13,940 points. He came to the [Family Secret Space] Weapon Shop.

A green gas flew out from the central crystal column of the space and entered the [Weapon Shop]. Hua Kai saw a golden light flashing and a [Ghost Head Knife] appeared in front of him.

This was the cheapest spiritual weapon he could refine. Now the family luck value of the space was less than 300 points, which was already on the verge of danger.

Hua Kai took out the [Family Order] issued by the Qi family and immersed his mental power in it. He was relieved when he found no special mental power to come to investigate. In this case, he can use the family luck value in the future. In the past three years, Hua Kai only dared to control the family luck value to more than 500 points. I don't know how much family luck value he lost!

Communicating family matters with uncle Wu and grandfather in the space. Although the reward from Linzi City has not yet come, the Hua family has sent 10,000 people to Gaoliu County to prepare. More than 40 families in Guang County have sent some of them to explore Gaoliu County first to prepare for the relocation of the family in the future.

A total of more than 20,000 people left Guang County with thousands of carriages and thousands of livestock. It takes nearly two months to get to Gaoliu City.

Grandpa also told Hua Kai that there are only more than 3,000 people left in Gaoliu County. He has sent people to deliver food and arrange for them to join the construction of Gaoliu City. Baoyu Pass is still guarded by Yan State, but Yan State only sent 500 ordinary soldiers there. They have no intention of repairing the damaged pass. The 500 people only serve as a warning.

Since Hua Kai and Qin Jiao debated, few people have chosen opponents with higher rankings. Qin Jiao has already lost one game, and it will be more difficult to enter the next round. The students of Xianyang Academy have also worked hard to prevent Qin Jiao from being eliminated in the first round.

They asked the top-ranked students of Xianyang Academy to challenge the debaters near the top ten. A total of 46 contestants will select ten to enter the next round. As long as the number of people who win the last three games does not exceed 9, Qin Jiao's strength will have a chance as long as the number of people who win three games is less than ten.

This day was a rest day. Hua Kai came to the [Lingbao Palace] with the forged spiritual weapon. He told the waiter the purpose of his visit, and soon Qin Jiao came over.

"Hello, Hua Shengzi!"

"Hello, Qin Shengzi!"

Qin Jiao was defeated by Hua Kai. Before he challenged Hua Kai and won, he should be polite to Hua Kai. This is the rule among scholars.

"I debated with Hua Shengzi a few days ago. Qin Jiao thought a lot afterwards. Hua Shengzi saw that many masters agreed greatly. I think as long as you build your foundation, you can directly be promoted to a master. Qin Jiao's loss is not unfair at all!" Qin Jiao saluted Hua Kai again.

"I won by chance. Today I came to exchange for [Bodhi Seed]. This is the 8th-grade spiritual weapon I brought. Qin Shengzi, please take a look." Hua Kai said as he took out the spiritual weapon from his personal space. Recently, he saw too many people with personal spaces, so he no longer hid it.

Qin Jiao looked at it carefully for a while and nodded gently.

"It is indeed an eighth-grade spiritual weapon, and the forging technique is flawless. With the spiritual pill, it can be exchanged for the [Bodhi Seed]. Please wait a moment. I will go get the Bodhi Seed!" Qin Jiao said and left.

Hua Kai is more assured of Qin Jiao. He is a master of both Confucianism and famous scholars. He will not easily do things that violate his morality, which will affect his future cultivation. In the past few days, Hua Kai has also heard some rumors in Qin State. Qin Jiao is most likely to become Qin Zheng's future successor, but the premise is that he can live longer than Qin Zheng.

Qin Jiao sent the [Bodhi Seed], and after Hua Kai checked it, the two sides reached a deal. The two agreed to talk after the debate. Hua Kai had a very good impression of Qin Jiao.

Later, Hua Kai lived a simple life in Xianyang Academy. If there was a debate, he would listen to the lectures of the students. If there was no debate, he would go back to the palace to rest, study the works of hundreds of schools of thought, and watch the family's luck value continue to increase every day. When the luck value is accumulated enough, he can refine the [Bodhi Pill].

After all 46 debaters have fought for two rounds, everyone already knows their strength.

The 12 who won both games are preparing for the last debate of the first round. If they can win one more game, they will definitely enter the semi-finals, but if they lose one game, it is not certain.

Of course, students who have lost one game are not completely without a chance. If the number of winners is less than 10, the judges will vote to fill the list of 10 people for the semi-finals from the two winners. As for those who have lost both games so far, they have basically lost the qualification for the semi-finals.

The third game adopts a lottery system. Hua Kai, as the No. 1 debater, is the first to draw his opponent. As a result, he draws a student from Wei State. This student has one win and one loss in the first two games. In theory, there is still hope of advancing, but when he sees that his opponent in the next game is Hua Kai, he smiles and shakes his head.

When the first round of debates was over, it was already August. Only 7 of the 46 students won all three games in the last three games. At the end, all debaters were very familiar with each other. Everyone knew who was stronger and who had lost in the last game. In the end, Qin Jiao and two powerful two-win contestants entered the semi-finals, and a total of 4 people from Jixia Academy entered the top ten.

In order to help Qin Jiao advance in the middle stage, many students who had the hope of advancing in Xianyang Academy performed poorly. In the end, only two people successfully advanced. After the first round of debates, the rules for the second round were also released!

The second round adopts the ring system. The three top-ranked debaters serve as the champions. Everyone can choose the object they want to challenge. Everyone has only three challenge opportunities. If the three opportunities are used up, they will be considered eliminated. The debaters standing on the ring at the end are the final three.

The debater who attacks the ring has an advantage because he can lead the topic to the direction he is good at, and there are three champions for him to choose. The second round requires the last person to choose the challenge object, so that the top-ranked people or the champions have an advantage. The more challenge opportunities are left, the greater the chance of entering the finals!
