”Missed our one person?!”
All of the candidates were stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi. From what they knew, Fang Zhengzhi had never attended an academy.
If he had never been to an academy, how can he have any understanding of history?
This was equivalent to an illiterate claiming that he could read the Law of Dao. This was virtually impossible.
”How can information from the Nangong Family ever be wrong?”
”Fang Zhengzhi said Nangong Hao missed out someone? How is that possible?”
”Exactly! Even though I do not care about these people, I remember that someone told me that there are only 10 people in history who grasped more than 100 Daos! Nangong Hao mentioned 10 people just now, where is the missing individual?”
”I think this fella is trying one of his shameless tactics again!”
All of the candidates shook their head as they looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disdain. After all, it was not too difficult to make up a story when it came to history.
All Fang Zhengzhi needed to do was make up a piece of history and say that it wasn't recorded in the official annals.
Then...
None of them could say that he was wrong.
After all, those legends were unverifiable. Since they could not be verified, who could say for sure if they were fact or fiction?
However, this was not something an academic would do.
Since all of the candidates could think about this tactic, so could Nangong Hao. However, he was not angered by Fang Zhengzhi's question.
”Young Master Fang says that I missed out one person, do you have proof?” Nangong Hao's voice was not loud, but his tone was solemn.
”I can.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded without hesitation.
”Okay then, as long as Young Master Fang is able to prove that I missed out one person, I will admit that I am ignorant and apologize to you. However, if you cannot, then please apologize to me for the comment!” Nangong Hao replied equally quickly.
His eyes were shining, his expression calm. However, there was a deep seated confidence embedded within the calm.
All of the candidates smiled and chuckled when they heard this,
They did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi would be able to find evidence to prove his point. After all, it was a fact that the official records only recorded 10 people who managed to grasp more than 100 Daos.
Fang Zhengzhi was smiling as well.
It was a fact that the official records only recorded 10 people who grasped more than 100 Daos.
But, that was the history books.
To put it simply, it did not take into account the present, or the future.
”There are only 10 people who grasped more than 100 Daos?” This was the first time Fang Zhengzhi had heard about this. If not for the fact that it was Nangong Hao who said it, he would not believe it.
After all, he had hundreds of Daos in his pocket dimension.
As such, Fang Zhengzhi had always thought that having a hundred or even hundreds of Dao in one's pocket dimension was normal.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not know that his experience was unprecedented. No one before him had done it before, and it was highly unlikely that future generations would be able to replicate this feat.
He figured out the Illustration of All Creation at age six and accessed Dao.
This was extremely rare in the Great Xia Dynasty. In the entire empire, there were no more than three people who were able to access Dao before age seven.
These talented individuals all had impeccable teaching and had countless resources at their disposal.
For someone to do this without any knowledge?
That would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was such a miracle. He accessed Dao at age six, but understood nothing. Absolutely nothing.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was not dumb.
He had his own unique methods. He developed this method from the mathematics he learnt in primary school. One plus one equals two. Two plus one equals three.
He used his general knowledge to solve his problems in cultivation. He began to gain some traction in cultivation.
Ever since he accessed Dao at age six, he did only one thing. He kept trying to grasp more and more Daos, ensuring each one was unique. After all, his primary school teacher had taught him one thing.
Two is definitely better than one!
Furthermore, when Fang Zhengzhi grasped his second Dao, the difference was stark. His abilities more than doubled.
Time flew by as he continued to learn and grasp more and more Daos.
Fang Zhengzhi never stopped trying. He spent every day of the year trying to grasp new Daos. After a few years, he managed to fill his pocket dimension's tree with many fruits.
The fruits were multicolored, and they adorned the huge tree in his pocket dimension. He once thought that he was on top of the world.
However, after exiting the Northern Mountain Village, he finally understood that he had been a frog in the well.
That being said...
Was there a second person in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty capable of something like that?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know that. All he knew was that he had many Daos in his pocket dimension. He knew that he had way more than 100 Daos.
As such, when he heard what Nangong Hao said, he chuckled.
Nangong Hao could see the smile on Fang Zhengzhi's face. He could sense that there was confidence behind that radiant smile.
However, he could not understand where Fang Zhengzhi was getting his blind confidence from?
That was until...
Nangong Hao saw Fang Zhengzhi raise his hand and point to himself. Then, Fang Zhengzhi said something that no one would have expected.
”You left me out!” Fang Zhengzhi replied flatly. He did not seem like he was acting. In fact, he looked like he was simply stating a fact.
”You left me out!”
”Left out...”
”Me?!”
Fang Zhengzhi's statement was not loud but simple. However, everyone around them burst into exclamations of disbelief when they heard this.
All of the other candidates were in shock.
”What did Fang Zhengzhi just say?”
”I think he said Nangong Hao left him out!”
