Li Nuo had already made up his mind.
The requirements of the Law Code must have increased.
Han Zhuo's painting skills were far from top-notch and not as dominant among students as Zhou Yu's Horse Riding skill.
Not to mention the Music Department Top Scholar from the previous session.
A starving camel is still bigger than a horse; Liu Shang's Qin Skill wouldn't have degraded to the point where it wouldn't meet the Law Code's standards.
It was highly likely that, as he made his Breakthrough, the standards of the Law Code also elevated.
Fortunately, his Breakthrough was slow.
If he had achieved his Breakthrough earlier, he probably couldn't have even obtained Han Zhuo's painting skill.
This was both good and bad news.
The good news was that any skills he would acquire in the future would be of higher quality, ensuring a foolproof Imperial Examination.
The bad part was that the quality was so high it would be difficult to find someone who met the Law Code's requirements.
