Chapter 13 013 A man of natural talent, shining brightly! A quarter of an hour later, nearly a hundred Mohist disciples climbed to the top of the cliff and each raised a flag. Boom! The gong sounded, and Han Shen announced, "A quarter of an hour is up." "The first round of selection is over!" "Next, the one hundred disciples who have passed the test will enter the second stage, the mechanical beast manipulation competition." Li Tianyuan looked around and saw that among the nearly one hundred Mohist disciples around him, he was the only one who had the Xiantian Condensed Gang. Dao Zhi and Qin Wuyang, the ninth rank in the acquired realm. The rest of the disciples were at the eighth, seventh, or sixth rank of the acquired realm. These nearly one hundred Mohist disciples are the elites among the elites, and they have achieved a certain level of accomplishment in boxing and kicking skills, Mohist swordsmanship, divine steps, and mechanical engineering. Moreover, the lowest level of cultivation is the sixth level of acquired cultivation. Li Tianyuan thought: "These are just the disciples in the Mohist Mechanical City. There are also some disciples in the Mohist School who have established bases outside and are responsible for intelligence work."
"The Mohist school does have the aura of a great school among all the other schools of thought." ... Han Shen said loudly: "The second level is divided into two items." "The first task is to control the mechanical white tiger to successfully cross the iron chain bridge and walk over the Tiger Leaping Cliff." "The second task is for the disciples who successfully cross the Tiger Leaping Cliff to control the mechanical white tigers to fight each other." "Game start!" On the cliff, ten mechanical white tigers stood quietly. The four mechanical beasts, the Mechanical White Tiger, the Mechanical Azure Dragon, the Mechanical Black Tortoise, and the Mechanical Vermillion Bird, are the core inheritance of the Mohist mechanical art, and are also the essence of the Mohist non-offensive mechanical art. Whoosh whoosh! Li Tianyuan, Dao Zhi, Qin Wuyang and ten others flew out and were the first to control the mechanical white tiger to cross the bridge with swaying iron chains. Under the bridge was a thousand-foot cliff, Tiger Leaping Cliff. …… Old Man Ban stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "As I expected, Tian Yuan has surpassed all the Mohist disciples in terms of mechanical skills." "He has an extraordinary understanding of mechanical engineering." Looking at Li Tianyuan riding the mechanical white tiger, Old Man Ban said, "Master, I beg you to give Tianyuan to me." "In the future, he will surely be able to carry forward my Mohist mechanical arts." The six-fingered black hero said in an inexplicable tone: "Tian Yuan's responsibility is not only to inherit and carry forward the Mohist mechanical arts." “He has a greater mission.” Master Xu was a smart man. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master, Li Tianyuan has only been in the Mohist School for two or three years, and he has already risen from an ordinary person to a congenital master." "It seems that he has a high aptitude for martial arts." "Moreover, the elite disciples of the Mohist School can only practice the first three levels of the mental method and can only reach the ninth level of the acquired realm. Without the method of condensing the Gang, it is difficult to enter the realm of innate condensing the Gang."
"Could it be that you have already..." Master Xu had a guess in his mind. When Old Man Ban heard this, he understood instantly and looked suddenly at the Six-Fingered Black Knight. The Six-Fingered Black Knight, the great master of the Mohist school, nodded slightly and admitted, "Yes, I have accepted Li Tianyuan as my disciple." "He has a clean family background, extraordinary talents, and a good character. He is a natural born Mo Xia." Upon hearing this, Master Xu and Old Man Ban suddenly realized, "No wonder." No wonder Li Tianyuan has already entered the Xiantian Ninggang stage. It turns out that he has already become a disciple of the great master and obtained the later Mohist mental method. Master Xu nodded and said, "Tianyuan is very good, with extraordinary comprehension. He can remember everything he learns. He is indeed qualified to be a disciple of the great master." Old Man Ban smiled and said, "My Mohist school has a bright future." As a leader, one must be well-rounded, have extraordinary talents, be a rare martial arts prodigy, and be proficient in mechanical engineering, military tactics, city defense, music, and so on. In short, the great figure of Mohism must not only become a powerful figure renowned throughout the world, but also a master with unrivalled literary accomplishment. Li Tianyuan has every potential. "what!" Suddenly, someone made a mistake and the mechanical white tiger fell off the cliff, and the Mohist disciples also fell off the cliff thousands of feet high. "Suzaku!" Master Ban ordered. Boo! A disciple of the Mohist school flew out controlling the mechanical Vermillion Bird, with its red wings spread out like a cloud hanging from the sky. The back of the mechanical Suzaku was enough to carry hundreds or even thousands of people, gliding through the sky and safely catching the falling Mohist disciples and the mechanical white tiger. At the end of the first competition, only more than fifty people passed the test. Han Shen announced: "The second event of the competition begins." "Ten people form a group and fight each other. The last person standing is the winner." Roar! Ten mechanical white tigers roared, and the sound waves vibrated. Li Tianyuan controls the Mechanical White Tiger as if he is controlling a Gundam. His hands operate quickly and he controls the Mechanical White Tiger at will. Man and machine become one and he can command as easily as his own arm. "I want to hit ten!" boom! The mechanical white tiger flew out, and Li Tianyuan fought against nine alone. The mechanical white tiger was ferocious and agile, as if it had wisdom, and it easily defeated all opponents. Daozhi team, Daozhi wins. Qin Wuyang's team, Qin Wuyang won. Then, the last few people controlled the mechanical white tiger to fight, and Li Tianyuan defeated Dao Zhi, Qin Wuyang and others one by one and won the victory in a crushing manner. Boom! Han Shen struck the gong and announced, "The winner of the second round is Li Tianyuan." "The third level is the written test." "All the disciples who have passed the first item of the second level, more than fifty people, can participate."
…… In one room, the four treasures of the study - pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all available. This is Qin's Moon, a parallel world. Although the papermaking technology was not perfect, the price of paper was quite expensive. But paper did exist. Xuan paper is something that only the various schools of thought, royal families of the seven dynasties, and princes and nobles are qualified to use. Lower-class scholar-official families and people from poor families are not eligible. Li Tianyuan picked up the pen and looked at the first question. May I ask, what are the ten core ideas of Mohism proposed by our founder Mozi? Li Tianyuan picked up his pen to answer - love all, do not attack, respect the virtuous, respect the same, heaven's will, understand ghosts, do not oppose fate, do not enjoy music, frugal burials, and save money. The first question is very simple, while the second, third and fourth questions are more difficult. They are problems on geometry, physics and optics created by Mozi. Li Tianyuan was at least a second-rate college student in his previous life. In this life, he was born with a natural martial arts mind, a photographic memory, and extraordinary comprehension, so naturally nothing could stump him. May I ask, what is an unnatural fate? Li Tianyuan answered: Fate does not exist, the world is fair. Wealth, power, life and death, all will and chance, the real decision is made by people, not fate. The Mohists acknowledged the real existence of the world, but placed greater emphasis on subjective initiative. May I ask, what is the motivation behind mechanical technology? Li Tianyuan answered: Force is the motive. The acceleration of an object produces the motive. Mozi was a mechanic. His theories of "force is weight" and "force is the cause of work" were very close to the theories of Galileo and Newton two thousand years later. This is the wisdom of our Chinese ancestors. Excuse me, who is the chief disciple of the founder Mozi? Before joining the Mohist school, which school did he learn from? Li Tianyuan answered: Qin Huali was a student of Zixia, a disciple of Confucius of Confucianism. Later he joined the Mohist school and studied under the founder Mozi, becoming the chief disciple. Hundreds of questions, eleven chapters on mechanical engineering, Mohist history, and Mohist city defense tactics... Mechanics, physics, dynamics, pinhole imaging, lever principle, direct light… The various topics fully demonstrated the wisdom of Mohism and highlighted the brilliance of the culture of China's various schools of thought. Li Tianyuan answered the question in one go and with ease. When it came to the last question, Li Tianyuan was stunned. "As disciples of the Mohist School in today's era, what should we do to realize the Mohist ideal of universal love, non-aggression, and universal peace?" Li Tianyuan paused and looked at the six-fingered black knight, the leader of the Mohist school. He knew that this question must have come from Teacher Juzi. Is this a test from Teacher Juzi? On the top of the mountain, the six-fingered black warrior looked at Li Tianyuan with a calm gaze, and expectation appeared in his eyes: [Tianyuan, Tianyuan, if you become a leader of the Mohist school in the future, what will you choose? ] Li Tianyuan closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and finally picked up the pen. To influence and transform Mohism, start with this question.
