However, for some reason, everyone felt it was incredibly real. Instead of the feeling of boasting and exaggerating during the sand table simulation, it gave people an extremely vivid sense of reality.
It was as if it had really happened.
Especially now, Yang Ming's achievement points have already climbed to eighty.
This is recognition from the racetrack!
Gou Yun's face stiffened, but he still kept a straight face and said, "It's nothing more than a village brawl between ordinary people. What does that prove? In the end, they are just ordinary people who don't know what cultivation is!"
Kong Qianqiu frowned upon hearing this: "So you were just an ordinary person after all."
Gou Yun's expression changed.
This may sound harsh, but it is the absolute truth.
If he hadn't met Kong Qianqiu, he would most likely have been stuck in a quagmire for the rest of his life, and given his family background, his standard of living would probably have been worse than that of most ordinary people.
Kong Qianqiu softened his tone and said, "Ordinary people also have ordinary wisdom. Even if cultivators are powerful, it doesn't mean they are more intelligent than ordinary people. They each have their strengths and weaknesses."
"The path I teach you should not be so narrow."
"This person is very skilled; watch closely and learn from him."
Gou Yun dared not refute, and could only nod in agreement.
At that moment, the phrase "unity of knowledge and action" was uttered, and the whole world fell silent.
Kong Qianqiu murmured, speechless: "Unity of knowledge and action, what a wonderful unity of knowledge and action."
The others were filled with admiration.
The actions of the protagonist in the sand table perfectly embody the concept of "unity of knowledge and action."
In an instant, many people's eyes lit up.
They may not be able to fully grasp the essence of the unity of knowledge and action, but even if they only grasp a little bit, it is enough to enlighten them and benefit them greatly.
At least many people have enough courage to face the challenges ahead.
The phrase "unity of knowledge and action" directly boosted my achievement points to over 90.
"The Saint's Track triggers the end of the track."
The news caused an instant uproar throughout the track lobby.
More than 80% of the people spontaneously gathered there immediately, and many popular tracks that were usually bustling with activity suddenly became deserted.
In contrast, the area in front of the Saint's Racecourse was packed with people, creating a scene of a rare and grand event.
In fact, not only the racetrack hall, but also the powerful figures of the aristocratic families residing high in the heavens were all paying attention.
At their level, even if someone were to finish the race, or even finish it twice in a row like before, they would at most just glance at them.
If it weren't for a series of events that shook the very foundation of their business, they wouldn't be taking this so seriously.
As for the usual track finishes, they wouldn't even glance at them.
But this time is different.
Kong Qianqiu's special status and his personal participation in the final round of the Saint's Race make it quite a spectacle.
While some races are uneventful, merely going through the motions to determine a winner, others are incredibly valuable and worthy of close attention and careful analysis.
Especially in the Saint track, the final outcome has always been a matter of sitting and discussing philosophy.
Once a master gets involved, a lot of good things can emerge.
The most famous final debates in history are still the most important internal teaching materials for major aristocratic families, and are used to cultivate the core values of their scions.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kong Qianqiu calmly stood up, solemnly straightened his clothes, and stepped into the Sage's Track.
Everyone's spirits lifted.
The show is about to begin.
As expected, the final outcome was that both protagonists appeared on the mountaintop at the same time, sitting on the ground five meters apart.
Lin Yi's eyes narrowed.
Even through the sand table, he could clearly feel the other party's aura, a powerful and unyielding presence that he had rarely seen before, even with his extensive experience.
Lin Yi's previous conclusion has been verified once again.
This descendant of Confucius is no ordinary person.
The two sides sat down and discussed their ideas, which sounded very sophisticated at first, but in reality, it was just them finding fault with each other.
I attack your way, and you attack my way.
When one side is unable to justify its actions and its moral compass collapses, the outcome is determined.
Although Lin Yi had roughly seen the other party's sand table records, his understanding was limited, putting him in a natural defensive position, and he could only wait for the other party to ask questions.
Surprisingly, the other party did not launch the expected tricky questioning.
All the questions Kong Qianqiu asked were the most fundamental and core questions, or rather, the questions that touched upon the essence of the Dao.
It didn't feel like a heated final debate at all; rather, it felt more like a devout student seeking knowledge from his teacher with the utmost sincerity.
What does it mean to unite knowledge and action?
What does it mean that mind is principle?
What is meant by "extending innate knowledge"?
Whenever Lin Yi gave a reply, the other side was always convinced and respectfully expressed that they had learned something.
There was absolutely no intention of challenging them.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment.
At first, he suspected that the other party was faking it, deliberately feigning weakness to lull him into a false sense of security, but as the process progressed, he completely ruled out this suspicion.
The other party was truly eager to learn and genuinely sought knowledge and guidance.
As for whether doing so would hand over the reward for finishing the race to someone else, Kong Qianqiu didn't care at all. At this moment, seeking knowledge and asking questions was the most important thing in her mind.
This was the first time Lin Yi had encountered such an opponent.
However, since the other party was like that, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
To be honest, his own understanding of Yangming's philosophy of mind was not very deep; it was only superficial.
If the person on the other end is a very inquisitive elementary school student, and they keep asking a few more questions about a particular point, you might actually run into trouble.
Fortunately, Kong Qianqiu is not.
Kong Qianqiu herself was a highly accomplished person, and at this moment, Yangming's philosophy of mind was like opening the door to a new world for her.
Once the door opens, she will explore and walk inside on her own.
In practice, Lin Yi only needed to recite a few quotes from Wang Yangming as a symbolic gesture, and Kong Qianqiu would immediately understand without needing to ask any further questions.
As for what she realized, Lin Yi had no idea.
But one thing is pretty much certain: what the other person has realized is probably deeper than what I have.
In a way, it was fortunate that he encountered such an opponent today. Otherwise, if it were someone who was only focused on winning through debate, even if Lin Yi could eventually finish the race, he would have to kill a lot of brain cells.
The atmosphere inside the venue was harmonious.
However, some people outside the venue couldn't sit still any longer.
Gou Yun frowned: "What is the teacher doing?"
He knew his teacher's character perfectly well.
Kong Qianqiu's personality, to put it nicely, is that of a born Great Dao Saint Body, with a pure and clear mind, and he doesn't care about anything else except pursuing the Great Dao.
To put it bluntly, they are too naive and easily fooled.
His ability to become Kong Qianqiu's top disciple was a result of his own deliberate planning.
In fact, Kong Qianqiu may not have been completely unaware of all this, but given her personality, even if she had known, she wouldn't have cared too much and would have simply let things take their course.
