"Third Elder, I've already won two out of three rounds; doesn't that mean I've already won the ancestral examination?" Jiang Chen glanced at Meng Chaochen and the other two, then turned to look at Elder Master Jiang.
"This... that's not how it works!"
Elder Master Jiang gently shook his head, patiently explaining: "According to the family rules, the first round gauges personal influence, accounting for one third of the total score; the second round measures personal strength, making up one part out of three; the third round assesses influence, meaning the network of connections, which is the most important, weighing in at two thirds.
After all, even without personal influence or strength, if one possesses a strong network of relationships, one can still score in the first two rounds!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "If that's the case, what's the point of having three rounds? Just to showcase the abilities of those participating in the examination?"
