Hua Kai sat at the front of the group of students, and the host called for the tenth Jixia Academy student to come up to the stage for the debate.
Yesterday, Hua Kai and a few teachers had already studied the characteristics of the few champions. This Jixia Academy student was from the Mohist, Yin-Yang, and Farmer schools, so he was still somewhat restrained against the Confucian school's Saint. Hua Kai had already secretly taught him a few moves over the past few days. It was just a matter of whether he could catch his opponent off guard and take him down.
As expected, after Jixia Academy chose the third arena, they launched a fierce attack right from the start.
He drew out self-discipline from the Confucian school and slowly led the other party into the Mohist school's thinking zone. As a result, the Saint in the third arena was in a passive position. After fighting for six hours, Hua Kai saw that both of their clothes were drenched in sweat. The host announced the end of the debate, and contestant number 10 won.
The Jixia Academy teacher went up to catch the tottering contestant number 10, and everyone gave him an understanding round of applause.
No one who could enter the semi-finals was weak. If a student performed well, there was a possibility that he could pull everyone down.
All the Saints were extremely cautious at this moment. It seemed like entering the finals was not as easy as they thought!
The next day was a break. On the third day, the ninth contestant went up to challenge the third arena. The tenth contestant lasted for three hours before being defeated. Although he had only been in the arena for two days, he received everyone's applause.
When the eighth contestant, Qin Jiao, went up, everyone saw how powerful the Saint's attacks were. Qin Jiao only used around 20 minutes to obtain victory in a crushing manner. Only then did successful contestants start to appear in the arenas.
After recognizing Qin Jiao's prowess, the students behind him started to challenge the second arena. Hua Kai waited for everyone to finish their challenges, but no one came to challenge him.
Qin Jiao couldn't last long in front of Hua Kai. They had studied Hua Kai's debate, but they still couldn't completely analyze it. This meant that Hua Kai's strength wasn't on the same level as everyone else.
Especially after reading Hua Kai's three most famous novels, everyone was even more impressed with Hua Kai. Because of Hua Kai's appearance, the novelist school was at its peak. Many people were sure that the Hua family would become the future saints of the novelist school.
Among the nine schools of thought, the novelist school did not enter the mainstream. However, the Hua family's appearance made everyone slowly acknowledge the novelist school. Hua Kai, who had just turned 18, had not yet become a tycoon, but he already had the intention of leading the trend of the entire school. Who would dare to debate with him?
Just like that, a miraculous thing happened. After the first round of nine contestants had finished, only Hua Kai was still sitting in the first arena. He sat there like a teacher, ignored by everyone. The entire Xianyang City was paying attention to this debate. Everyone was guessing whether the next contestant would choose the second or third arena. No one thought that anyone would choose Hua Kai as their opponent.
On the 4th of September, after more than a month and a half of exciting competition, the second and third arenas had changed hands multiple times. Qin Jiao finally secured the second arena after three rounds of competition. There were only a few more debates left, and everyone's debate opportunities would be used up. On this day, Hua Kai was analyzing the next day's match for a student. Now, sneak attacks were no longer effective. Among the ten contestants, except for Hua Kai, everyone was very familiar with each other. They could only try to use some strange moves to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and see if they could find an opening to win the match.
From the beginning to the end, no one dared to challenge Hua Kai in the second round. Xianyang City was already discussing how to prevent Hua Kai from becoming the champion in the finals.
Suddenly, a system notification rang out in Hua Kai's mind.

Hua Kai was still discussing with others about tomorrow's debate when he heard the system notification that the sixth main mission had been completed.
After more than three years, the main mission was finally completed. This meant that the reward from Linzi City had been given.
At night, he couldn't wait to return to his palace. He quietly entered the [Family Secret Realm].
Ignoring the mission reward, Hua Kai went to the space crystal pillar to check the family's directory. According to his imagination, the family's rank should be three big stages. Now that the Hua family had been upgraded to a Grade Six family, the family's directory should have changed.
"Detecting that the family has been upgraded to Grade Six. The family directory has met the requirements to upgrade. Do you want to upgrade?"
There was a small prompt below the family directory. Hua Kai clicked [Confirm].
"Updating the family directory … All family members' aptitude will be randomly increased by one big stage (for example, from D- to C-)."
"The family directory has been upgraded. Please check!"
Hearing the system notification, Hua Kai first looked at the aptitude increase. Out of 500 people, 10 had increased by one big stage, 50 had increased by two small stages, and 190 had increased by one small stage.
Looking at the ten luckiest family members, Hua Kai was secretly disappointed. Among them, his third uncle's aptitude had increased from B- to A-. Seven of them had increased by one big stage from B- to B +. As for the remaining three, one of them was a maid who had increased her aptitude all the way to S +. One of them was a member of the Fort Wah Ka Ten Young Lords who had increased his aptitude to S +. The last one was Hua Kai's cousin who had increased his aptitude from D to C rank.
The 50 people who had increased their aptitude by two small stages gave Hua Kai a pleasant surprise.
Xu Hua's aptitude had increased from B to A-. This meant that he wouldn't have to worry about his cultivation regressing when he left the Spirit Gathering Diagram.
Wal-mart's steward's aptitude had increased from B- to B +. His cultivation would no longer be stuck at the Early Mortal Realm.
Han Jinsheng's aptitude had increased from A- to A +. Qing Geertai's aptitude had increased to A +.
Two small stages had given the Hua family two more S- aptitudes and eleven more A + aptitudes.
The other 190 people had increased their aptitude by one small stage. Tang Lei's aptitude had increased to S-, Hua Zichen's aptitude had increased to S, and Hua Yu's aptitude had increased to A rank.
The Hua family now had one more S- aptitude, three more S- aptitudes, thirty-nine more A + aptitudes, and two hundred more A- aptitudes. Although this wasn't a big proportion in the huge Hua family, but those who could enter the family directory were the most loyal members of the Hua family. They were the most important members of the Hua family.
Hua Kai checked the family directory. As expected, the number of family members had increased to one thousand. Among them, the number of core members had increased to ten, and the number of important members had increased to one hundred and ninety. The 1000th secret family member's loyalty had increased to eighty-four. This number was much higher than what Hua Kai had expected.
After thinking for a while, Hua Kai filled in the list of core members of the family. He filled in the list of core members of the family according to their aptitudes from highest to lowest. Butler Wal-mart, Second Uncle Wah Tzu Chi, Third Uncle Hua Zijie, Chinese Ink, Erzhuang, Xue Pan, and Xue Chen.
After checking the new family directory, Hua Kai checked the seventh main mission. It wasn't hard for the family to become a rank 5 family. The Hua family had already fulfilled most of the requirements. The only requirement was that one of the family's attributes had to reach ten thousand points. This meant that the family had to decide on a direction to develop.
Since the family didn't have enough postcelestial warriors, Hua Kai didn't think about the seventh main mission. He left the family portal and read the mission reward in his mind.
Three items appeared in front of him.
The first one was the most eye-catching one. This array was much more strange than the [Spirit Gathering Array] that Hua Kai had seen before. It was made up of a blueprint and hundreds of array flags of different sizes.
Looking at the blueprint, the [Pegasus Field] was divided into six parts. Each part was connected by different array flags. The center of the six parts was the [Horse Racing Field], and the surrounding parts were the [Breeding Area], [Breeding Area], [Training Area], [Divine Steed Area], and [Trainer's Living Area].
The size of each area could be allocated freely, and the six areas had special functions. Hua Kai checked it carefully. It didn't say how big the [Pegasus Field] was, but there was a reminder at the back. The smaller the area of the [Pegasus Field], the faster the Spiritual Qi would gather in the array.
Hua Kai saw that the [Pegasus Field] used a lot of spiritual wood above the fifth level. It would cost a lot to collect all of these spiritual wood. Also, the array said that the construction of the six areas must be done exactly according to the blueprint. Otherwise, the effect of the array would be weakened.
Hua Kai looked at the [Pegasus Field] building blueprint for a while. The more he looked at it, the more confused he became. In the end, he simply threw it into the portable space. He would give it to the craftsmen of the Lu family and see if they could build it!
[Sweet Water Spring] was a piece of jade the size of a fist. In the center of the jade, there was a golden dragon with a faint light. The system said that as long as this jade was buried in the ground, spring water would slowly overflow. Hua Kai studied this jade for a long time but didn't find any results. He decided to leave it at home and think about how to use it.
Finally, there was the [Highest Quality Aptitude Pill]. It could increase the aptitude below A- by a small level to a large level. This was exactly what he needed. Opening the crystal bottle of [Highest Quality Aptitude Pill], Hua Kai found that there were only 10 pills in it, which was far worse than the [Advanced Quality Aptitude Pill].
Taking out one pill and taking it, Hua Kai calmed down and felt the effect of [Highest Quality Aptitude Pill]. He only felt that he suddenly seemed to have cut off all contact with the outside world. At this moment, he couldn't even feel his own existence. The changes in the power of the rules between heaven and earth were particularly clear. He didn't know how long it took him to wake up from this state.
