I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 443 Tiger Girl is a Top Student
"Brother Zhang, this woman doesn't know anything. Is she just a country bumpkin? There are only a few days left. Do we really want to waste our time here?"

Outside Xianyang City, in a small village called Bashui Village, a young man named Cui Qian asked in a low voice.

“This is at least more reliable than attacking those talented scholars whose deaths are meaningless.” The young man named Zhang Xiu shook his head, but his eyes were on his companion who was talking to the white-haired woman (Note ①) they had picked up.

"But she can't even write. Even if she was born with the Great Vengeance Saint Body, do you think it will be effective? What's the use of a high cultivation level without skills? Or are you planning to use her as an excuse to wait another four years?"

Cui Qian's words were very sharp, but Zhang Xiu showed no anger upon hearing them, simply replying calmly:
"This operation is already underway, so how could I give up because of a little bit of uncertainty? In any case, she is still a combatant at the Sun and Moon Realm. We don't even need her to be that strong. As long as we have her standing there when we launch a major operation, her Heart Candle will be enough to delay the Qin army. What we are doing now is just to make her last longer."

“If that’s the case…” Cui Qian nodded slightly upon hearing this, which could be considered as acknowledging Zhang Xiu’s statement. Just as the two were talking, the companion who was talking to Delis in the room suddenly turned around and came out.

"Your Highness, is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon seeing the young man emerge, Zhang Xiu immediately stepped forward to inquire. The young man, addressed as Prince Jing, whose real name was Jing Xian, simply shook his head and said:
"It's such a pity that there is such a genius in the world. What a pity! If we had met him a few years earlier, alas!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing Jingxian's words, Cui Qian's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Your Highness, are you saying that the girl in that village... is a genius?"

"Yes, she has a photographic memory. She can recite a classic text backwards after I recite it once. If it weren't for the fact that she could even recite the parts that I accidentally misremembered exactly, I would have thought she was lying to us! Moreover, her comprehension is also excellent. Alas, if Master Xiang were still alive, I would definitely recommend her to him!"

Jingxian kept shaking his head, but Zhang Xiu frowned and said:
"Did she really learn it from scratch?"

"Yes, her speech is very crude, and she never quotes classical texts. It's definitely a result of long-term lifestyle habits. Her understanding of the classics is also very different from ours. Hmm... sometimes, I even think she's a bandit!"

Jingxian was able to be called Your Highness because he had some royal blood. For the remnants of the six states... ah! I mean, the anti-Qin righteous men, he was a banner. But in this era of the tyrannical Qin unification of the world, he did not have a good life. Precisely because of this, even though he was young, he had accumulated a lot of experience in judging people and could see many abnormalities in the girl who called herself "Dai Lisi".

Although she concealed her origins, judging from her speech, clothing, and appearance, it was certain that she was not of noble birth and had not received any formal education. In fact, if it weren't for her delicate skin and lack of that strong, pungent body odor, he might have even suspected that she had Hu (non-Han) ancestry.

For these anti-Qin patriots, primarily strategists, anyone not associated with the tyrannical Qin dynasty could be used as a force for their "vertical alliance." "That's for the best," Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "How is her progress in practicing magic?"

"She mastered them very quickly, and since she wasn't bound by any particular school of thought, I tried explaining some military and legalist techniques in addition to Confucian ones. She grasped them all very quickly, and their power wasn't much different from the Confucian ones. The only problem is that she hasn't yet been able to integrate the power of her Heart Flame into them..."

Jingxian sighed again as he spoke. Infusing the power of the Heart Candle into the spell was not difficult for any disciple of the Hundred Schools, but the prerequisite was that the disciples of the Hundred Schools had studied their own school's classics since childhood. It was precisely because of their profound study and understanding of those classics that they had a knowledge of the spells, and thus they were able to integrate the Heart Flame into them and amplify their power according to their own understanding.

But this girl, despite her exceptional talent, was illiterate...

Although Jingxian looks to be in his early twenties, he is actually forty-two years old. Even though he has been educated to "oppose Qin" since birth and has ignited the Gongyang School's desire for revenge, Confucianism ultimately emphasizes "benevolence" and "righteousness." His ability to pass on the torch is not just a superficial achievement. At this moment, seeing a promising talent like Delis, he can't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her.

Seemingly sensing Jingxian's thoughts, Zhang Xiu said:
"Your Highness, do not lament. Such a talented and beautiful person has spontaneously ignited the fire of revenge. This is evidence of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty. In order to prevent countless tragedies like that of Miss Dai, we must strengthen our resolve, punish the tyrannical Qin, and fight against the wicked. This is a just cause! Since Miss Dai has been able to make the candle of revenge shine as brightly as the sun and moon, her obsession with revenge has surpassed everything. Therefore, letting her participate in the plan is the best way to achieve our goal."

"Never mind..." Jingxian sighed, and in the end, he didn't say anything more.

While the three were having a private conversation outside, Delis inside the house was caught up in a frenzy.

Although she may seem a bit naive, this girl is indeed a high-achieving student who obtained three divine positions during her school years. She may not be good at practical matters, but when it comes to exams and studying, she is truly in her comfort zone!
Although the classic texts of this world are quite obscure, the translation plugin that comes with the field service suit has an Eastern-style translation module, so there's no problem understanding them.

However, what surprised Delis even more than this was that this world could actually transform knowledge into power!
Why bother studying classical texts? Her youth spent in the Loki Academy library wasn't wasted!
While receiving instruction from Zhang Xiu, Jing Xian, and Cui Qian on the theories of this world and the Great Revenge School, she was also constantly searching through the materials she had memorized during her school days.

Since the "historians" of this world can cast spells on historical records, do the historical records in her memory, such as the "Chronicles of the Gods," "History of the Celestials," and "Chronicles of Asgard," possess the same power?
Since the "military strategists" of this world can fight with military books, can military books such as "War Proverbs", "The Art of Military Formation", and "Tyr's Whispers" provide her with the same protection?

Ultimately, the power of this world is nothing more than a special application of the power of will. After understanding its usage, Delis's academic genius was finally activated. The books she memorized for exams during her student days began to play a role at this moment, and the candlelight in her mind became even more dazzling!
