Chapter 570: Chapter 570: A Simple Auto-Attack Baits Out an Ultimate from the Enemy

"What the heck is that?"

"?? I didn’t catch anything, why are the questions getting harder and harder?"

Ai Xiaochun was stupefied.

Although she immediately recognized the quote as a four-character line from The Book of Poetry, she had never seen or memorized this particular one!

"After planting the crops that gave birth to Hou Ji, there was the Way of the Minister."

"Correct answer, contestant number two gets one point!"

Ai Xiaochun: ???

How is that possible???

Jiang Li actually recited it?!

"Did you cheat?!" Ai Xiaochun’s first reaction was just that.

Jiang Li could only laugh, "The only thing on me is this watch, inside and out, where could I cheat? If you don’t believe me—"

Her red lips moved slightly, and in a short while, she had recited the entire piece.

"...This line is from ’The Book of Poetry, Daya, Shengmin’. If you still didn’t catch that, I can recite it again."

Ai Xiaochun was even more shocked.

Daya was the most difficult section of The Book of Poetry, and she found it hard to understand, let alone memorize it. And now Jiang Li could recite the whole Shengmin flawlessly!

The people behind her suddenly looked at Jiang Li with a different kind of respect.

Guo Xing’s eyes were wide open.

"Holy crap, Jiang Li is actually this awesome? To recite something even Xiao Chun can’t?"

Luo Xuan also gave Jiang Li a nod of recognition.

He had thought she was just a pretty face with no substance, but she apparently knew a lot.

Fortunately, Chen Manman’s words pulled him back from the brink of his reverie.

She smacked Guo Xing’s head hard, "Whose side are you on? Not cheering for Xiao Chun is one thing, but to speak ill of her, they are now tied. The next round is crucial."

Anyone with clear eyes could see that the competition’s questions were becoming progressively harder.

Ai Xiaochun failed to answer the next two questions, and the final one would pose an even greater challenge for her.

Now, the scornful look on Ai Xiaochun’s face had completely vanished, her entire body tensed involuntarily.

"It’s okay, she just got lucky, could the things she chose herself be that far off?"

She tried to convince herself and then clicked on the next question.

"The final question: under the Ministry of Rites of X dynasty, there are four bureaus, please name each bureau and their respective responsibilities."

Ai Xiaochun crumbled.

What kind of questions were these?

Not even college entrance exams would test this.

It’s not even in college textbooks!

"Come on, who can answer this? These questions are just sick."

"I can answer it, I have Baidu!"

Jiang Li responded without batting an eyelid, "The Ritual Supervision handles ceremonies as well as manages educational affairs and imperial examinations, the Ciji Qingli Bureau is in charge of auspicious and inauspicious ceremonies, the Guest Affairs handles hospitality and reception of foreign guests, and the Refined Food and Drink Department deals with the management of banquets and the like."

"Correct answer, contestant number two gets one point!"

"End of the round of competition, congratulations to contestant number two for the win, Team Q gains one point!"

Everyone: !!!!!!!

Ai Xiaochun was dumbstruck.

She, she even knows this?!

It was impossible for Jiang Li not to know; her family had been officials in Daqi for generations. She had been familiar with the various positions of the Court since she was a child, so these were not difficult questions for her.

"Wow, Jiang Li is amazing!!"

"I told you Lili would dominate. She didn’t even bother to answer the first two questions, and considering how easy they were, it was normal for Ai Xiaochun to get them right."

"A 211 university grad lost to a junior college student? That doesn’t make sense."

"Jiang Li is the real science!"

Team J was also shocked; nobody expected Jiang Li, who seemed the least studious, to be the one who knew the most.

Ai Xiao Chun stormed back with an ashen face, clenching her fists tightly in anger.

"She definitely just guessed correctly! Those questions were all so tricky!"

Guo Xing didn’t speak and just glanced at Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan’s complexion wasn’t great either, "Enough, if we lost, we lost."

Any astute observer could see that Jiang Li’s knowledge far surpassed Ai Xiao Chun’s. If she continued to be unreasonable, eventually the entire audience would ridicule her to death, and he, too, would be embarrassed by association.

At first, Ai Xiao Chun didn’t think it was a big deal, but Luo Xuan’s comment struck a nerve, and she started screaming, scaring Bai Lu into trembling.

"With the opponent in such poor spiritual condition, won’t they go even crazier if we keep winning?"

"Why bother with that." Shang Shuyue said disdainfully, "It has nothing to do with us. Who cares about their mental state? Who’s going on in the next round?"

Everyone’s gaze turned to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan, flattered, said, "You all think so highly of me?"

Bai Lu: "Uh..."

Jiang Li patted his shoulder, "I’ll be blunt, you’re the silliest one here, so sending you first won’t get you beaten as badly."

Jiang Yan: ???

"Is that what you all think???"

Everyone averted their gaze from him.

"Outrageous!" Jiang Yan stamped his foot angrily, "I’ll show you my true strength right now!"

With that, he strutted to the stage with great vigor.

[LOL, has the young master still not understood his own limits?]

[Come on, everyone gather around, the joke’s about to begin.]

[Three, two, one, get ready to laugh!]

[I mean, really, is it okay for Jiang Yan’s fans to make fun of their idol like this?]

[Who’s joking? We’re just stating facts.]

Seeing Jiang Yan’s confident arrival, the opponents sensed that something was amiss.

They had underestimated Jiang Li in the last round and suffered a narrow defeat; they had to be more cautious this time.

Thus, the four of them decided to send Luo Xuan to the stage.

He was the most capable one after Chen Manman.

Seeing this, the audience burst into laughter.

[HAHAHAHA, the young master really did fire the first shot.]

[He intimidated them with his presence alone, well done Jiang Yan.]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Q team reveals a basic attack, and the opponents hurriedly counter with an ultimate.]

[Wouldn’t they be spitting blood if they knew that Jiang Yan actually had just a college-level understanding?]

The last round was J team’s turn to choose questions, and now it was Q team’s.

Jiang Yan looked at the dozens of options on the screen, frowning deeply.

Which one to choose?

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he clicked one of the options.

Luo Xuan felt a sense of unease.

Jiang Yan must have chosen something advantageous to himself; he only hoped the questions wouldn’t be too obscure, allowing him some room to perform.

[The competitors are in position, this round’s category is—[Astronomy]]

Luo Xuan: ??????

Everybody else: ??????

Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded.

"Wait, when did he learn about astronomy?"

Shang Shuyue shook her head, "We never studied that in high school."

Bai Lu: "Damn, turns out Jiang Yan was the most secretive one."

But Jiang Li, the only one who understood his rationale, couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Not to say...

Although there wasn’t much in her brother’s head, sometimes he was quite quick-witted.
