The story of the Black Tortoise carrying the world, although hard to determine, was still acceptable to those with a bit of imagination. However, to say that the earth beneath everyone's feet was actually a ball, that was completely unimaginable!

"Meng Kang, why do you say that?"

Minister of the Auxiliary State's tone suddenly became more imposing, it looked like, if Meng Kang did not give a reason, he would be angry.

Meng Kang gestured for Zi Yan to sit first, then he stood up and calmly replied: "I was just saying that it's possible! This is not my imagination, but I can rely on it! The Great Halberd to the Marine Department has recorded many times that when the ocean-going fleet returns from the depths of the sea, on each of the horizons they appear to be the sails of the fleet. If the world is flat, then the fleet that appears on the horizon should be the entire body of the ship and not a sail high in the sky. Only if the world is a sphere can it be at such an angle. "

"Not only that, but there is also evidence. I have read The Celestial Magistrate, The Five Stars Occupation, and The Secret Garden of the Spiritual Altar, and all of these books talk about a very strange phenomenon. When the North Star was observed in the south, the position of the North Star was clearly lower in the sky, while in the north, it was higher. That is why the star map drawn by the Great Halberd Dynasty was slightly different from the map drawn by the barbarians in the north. "

"Believe what I said, the Star Observation College's senior brothers should know it better than me!"

As Meng Kang spoke, his gaze turned towards the Star Observation College.

Although there had been some friction between the Star Observation College and itself, the few students who had come to the banquet couldn't speak nonsense either. After humiliating the academy's department, they all nodded their heads.

Meng Kang stretched out both of his hands, and a round ball of Innate Qi gathered in his palms. Then, he flicked his pinky finger lightly, splitting a bit of the Innate Qi into two and jumped into the air above the round ball of Innate Qi, imitating the appearance of the North Star.

"Everyone, look carefully. Only when we live in a spherical world will there be a high degree of difference in the North and South Star Observation. Only then will there be a fleet of ships coming from afar. We will first see the sails and see the ship!"

The effect of Meng Kang's words, was definitely shocking!

Compared to the Green Willow Academy's scripture from before, his actions and speech were the true rationale behind this. It was simple and profound, causing people to have no choice but to believe in it.

Everyone present was enchanted by the world model that he constructed. This was also the first time they clearly saw the possible shape of the world.

"That's not right!" Still not right! If the earth beneath our feet is a sphere, why don't we fall? What about the people and objects on both sides of the sphere and at the bottom? "

Green Willow Academy's Hou Mingxi shouted excitedly.

This person was truly intelligent, and everyone could see that he was not competing for the victory of this literary battle, but was instead immersed in this question, desperately searching for the truth.

Meng Kang very politely nodded his head, and said: "That's why I said, this is only one possibility! As for why we don't fall down, maybe it's because the earth can produce a magnetic force that can affect all living things, or maybe there's some other reason, which we haven't figured out yet. "

Seeing him speak so earnestly, Hou Mingxi knew that he was being a little impatient. After all, everyone was just debating in front of the hall, and as for the truth and source of this world, they could not possibly get the result from his words. Perhaps, even in his entire life, he might not be able to get a complete picture of it.

Thinking about it, Hou Mingxi immediately felt that it was boring, he cupped his hands towards Meng Kang and said: "Senior, I am ashamed of myself, today we, Green Willow, have admitted defeat. If there is a chance another time, I will pay a visit to senior, and ask for guidance.

"Meng Kang laughed and nodded calmly.

He did not expect that the number of talents in the medical school would be so numerous that they would first produce a beautiful maiden who would overthrow the reasoning behind the Green Willow Academy. Then, there came a weirdo who had read a large group of books.

Minister of the Auxiliary State stroked his long beard and laughed with a face full of gratitude: "This match was indeed medical school's victory! Your opinions are unique and new. This old man will report it to the Divine Empress for information. Alright, now the results for this round of the written test are all out! The people who obtained the qualifications to advance were White Deer Institute, Academy of Elite Soldiers, National Academy, Flying Stream Academy and medical school.

"Then, it's about time for the martial arts competition to begin. The five academies mentioned earlier all have three points. You are free to challenge other academies, and each time you win, you will lose one point and each loss will result in a loss of three points." What do you think? "

The Minister of the Auxiliary State laughed.

The moment this suggestion was made, the students of the ten academies started buzzing and discussing amongst themselves.

According to this rule, every academy had three chances to fight, but the strength distribution of the ten academies was very uneven. The academies behind the rankings, such as Flying Stream Academy s and medical school s, were clearly two weak individuals, and as long as they ate them first, they would have a guaranteed score.

Some academies thought to themselves, even if they knew they couldn't beat a hot opponent like White Deer Academy, if they couldn't get that Wrath Dragon Star Devouring Bow, it would still be good for them to be able to compete for second place in Red Maple Banquet.

"In order to be fair, there's also a small supplementary rule. If two of the academies pick the same one, then the two academies will have to compete first." Now, among the five academies that have entered the Martial Arts Competition, you can write down your first round opponents on paper and hand them over! "

Minister of the Auxiliary State said with a smile.

This supplementary rule was a tactic to prevent the weak chicken school from picking up points.

In that moment, all the academies were discussing on how to choose their opponents.

Meng Kang was seated in front of the hall with a calm expression and smiled without saying a word.

Brother Tian looked left and right, sneakily, before finally asking in a low voice: "Sister Zi Yan, which family do you think we should fight against?"

After all this, Gu Tian still had to listen to Zi Yan's suggestion!

Ye Xiaoyuan let out a pfft, and immediately laughed out.

Meng Kang also smiled as he looked at Tian Bao. Normally Tian Brother would always be at the front, but now, he was actually looking for Zi Yan to make a decision.

Zi Yan smiled sweetly and spoke frankly with confidence: "Only Master Meng and Sir Gu Tian can fight in our medical school. If the two of you want to fight in three matches, it would be much easier."

"According to what I've seen, White Deer Academy and Academy of Elite Soldiers are both ranked in the top three. They definitely won't choose us in the first round to prevent others from talking about us. Although the Orthodox Academy was rather weak, it was clear that they wanted to take over the White Deer Academy's position. In this first battle, they would most likely choose a White Deer Institute. This was the reason why they were able to establish themselves. The remaining Flying Stream Academy s, no need to even think about it, they will definitely choose to bully the weak and pick us! "

"Therefore, we can choose Flying Stream Academy for our first battle, Young Master Tian to fight! If we can win, in the second round, we will choose National Academy. As for the third round, it doesn't matter. Depending on the opponent, we'll see whether Master Meng or Young Master Tian will take the field. "

After Zi Yan analyzed the situation, she seemed to have the air of a strategist, which made Meng Kang and Tian Ji nod their heads repeatedly.

On the other hand, Ye Xiaoyuan was a little disappointed at the side. She felt that she was very useless, not even comparable to Miss Zi Yan, not even able to help her in the slightest.

Very quickly, the list of challengers from the various academies was published.

Indeed, it was just as Zi Yan had thought, the first ranked White Deer Institute had chosen the Academy of Elite Soldiers, and the opponent chosen by the Academy of Elite Soldiers was also the White Deer Institute.

As expected, the opponent that National Academy chose was also White Deer Institute, so they had to fight a big battle with him first.

As for Flying Stream Academy and medical school, they just so happened to be bastards looking at green beans. Both sides disliked each other and clashed head on.

This way, the top ten ranked White Deer Academy actually had one empty match.

Auxiliary Minister Li Wenzheng seemed to be satisfied with the way the two were arranged, and laughed: "Not bad! Everyone was doing their best! In order to ensure the fairness of the next match, each courtyard's representative please move to the drill grounds outside the great hall. There is a separate stage for the martial arts competition, and other than me and a few notary officials, no one else can see the situation in the arena! "

The representatives of the various academies all stood up and walked towards the main hall.

Brother Tian also stood up, walking towards the drill grounds outside the great hall in large strides on behalf of the medical school.

The stage Minister of the Auxiliary State was talking about was actually the dueling arena.

Red Maple Palace was one of the few palaces in the Imperial Court that was open to the public.

The divided martial stages were actually individual rooms. They were sealed within by a world spiritist, so no matter how one beat them, they wouldn't break.

Gu Tian walked into the training grounds. His opponent was the Steel Arms Wyvern Cheng Jian from Flying Stream Academy.

When Cheng Jian saw that his opponent was the famous playboy young master of the Shanghai City, a cold and disdainful smile instantly appeared on his face.

"I know you have family equipment on you, but this is the Martial Arts Practice Field. Any equipment beyond your level will be rejected by the seal. You should know that, right?"

Cheng Jian said coldly.

"I'll beat you up like a dead dog!"

Cheng Jian, the Steel Arms Flying Dragon, once again silently threw down his words and was the first to walk into the training field.

Gu Tian did not say anything, and took out an unknown item from his bosom, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it twice, then entered with a gloomy face.

In the blink of an eye, the Ten Courtyards outside only heard a series of booming sounds.

Soon after, everyone in the training field felt a roaring sound that was like the raging tides of the ocean coming from the enchantment. They could not help but imagine a scene where the massive waves blasted into the sky, as if they were on the shore of a raging tides.

Crash! *

After a loud noise, a huge sense of loss could be felt from the training field.

This sudden surge in strength was like the tide, followed by a sudden surge and retreat. Outsiders really had no idea what was going on inside.
