The banquets of the Nine Provinces were all about watching singing and dancing, playing drinking games, reciting poems, and playing with elegant things.
Even if Grand Xia's princess didn't jump out to ask Sun Mo to compose a poem, someone else would. There was no solution to it. Sun Mo's reputation was too great.
Hence, the Taiji Palace was filled with cheers. Countless gazes landed on Sun Mo.
Many of them didn't have any ill intentions and just wanted to broaden their horizons. It was like attending a wedding and seeing a singer among the guests, everyone naturally wanted her to sing a song.
This way, when everyone returned, they would have the capital to brag about it.
For example, Sun Mo had composed a famous poem that was widely circulated. In the future, if they heard it on other occasions, they could add a sentence.
(Oh, this poem. I was there when Great Teacher Sun composed it!)
"Sorry, I'm not good at composing poems!"
Sun Mo rejected.
"Could it be that Teacher Sun is afraid of losing face because he cherishes his feathers?"
Grand Xia's little b * tch's words were filled with sarcasm. "After all, there are many literary experts among the guests today."
"Teacher, compose a famous poem and anger her to death!"
Qin Yaoguang urged. She couldn't tolerate this.
"Teacher Sun, your [Journey to the West] and [Dream of the Red Chamber] are extremely well written. Your talent in poetry shouldn't be bad either. Why aren't you willing to display your talent? Or are you saying that we aren't worthy? "
The little b * tch continued to pursue.
"Subject Sun, why don't you compose a poem?"
Qi King looked at Sun Mo anxiously.
If Sun Mo became a great teacher in such a situation and his name would be passed down through the ages, his name would also benefit from it.
Yes, at that time, he would write in his daily log that Qi King appreciated Sun Mo and invited him to sleep. Sun Mo was overjoyed. That night, they chatted through the night and became close friends.
Qi King knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to become a wise ruler. Hence, if he wanted to leave behind a good reputation, he could only rely on the fame of a famous person.
If Sun Mo were to become a saint, his image would also be enhanced imperceptibly by Sun Mo.
"Your Majesty, I'm not good at composing poems!"
Sun Mo rejected.
Although it was said that scholars didn't steal, Sun Mo really didn't miss the poems of the ancients. Even if no one could recognize them in this era.
"Disappointing!"
The little b * tch's lips twitched.
The others felt the same way.
"If it was me, I wouldn't fight either. As the saying goes, there's no number one in literature and no number two in martial arts. There are so many people here today, I wonder how many people want to step on Sun Mo to become famous!"
Grand Tutor Su chuckled.
If it was a usual poetry battle, they could compete based on their actual talent. But today, it was different.
These princes and princesses came to participate in the Five Nation Mock War, and the poems they carried were definitely written by the great poets and writers of the various nations. The quality was definitely very high.
Taking a step back, these high officials in Qi Country were able to pass the imperial examinations, so their standards weren't bad either. Who knew if someone would jump out and compete with Sun Mo in poetry?
Thud!
Ying Baiwu stood up and stared at the little bitch. "I don't know how to compose poems, but I can still do battle. Why don't we have a life-and-death battle to liven things up for everyone?"
Hiss!
Ying Baiwu's words instantly caused a series of exclamations.
Was there a need to be so ruthless?
The little b * tch instinctively wanted to say, who do you think you are? This princess will not fight to the death with you, but Xia Taikang ordered in a low voice.
"Say yes!"
Xia Taikang had suffered many setbacks at Da Tang's hands and had long since wanted to vent his anger. Now that the other party had delivered herself to his doorstep, she was simply courting death.
"I'm afraid I'll beat you to death!"
The little bitch coldly laughed. "Since you want to play, I'll play with you then!"
The little bitch was 19 years old this year and was a true disciple of a great teacher. The defense of her soft armor was extremely high, and the longsword in her hand was a peerless-grade heaven-tier one that could slice through metal like mud.
Of course, the cultivation art she cultivated was also a peerless-grade saint-tier one!
"Baiwu, be careful. Great Xia's Limitless Immortal Suppression Art is extremely powerful!"
Li Ziqi reminded.
"Eldest martial sister, you worry too much. How can junior martial sister Baiwu lose?"
Lu Zhiruo was very confident in her junior martial sister Tie. She waved her fist and had a fierce expression on her face. "Crush her!"
"Mn!"
Ying Baiwu hated people who didn't respect her teachers the most.
Very soon, a little eunuch brought the weapons of the two of them over.
Because this was a banquet held in the palace, in order to ensure the safety of the emperor and the crown princes of the various nations, the guests weren't allowed to bring weapons.
"Sparring before the hall, don't go overboard. What life-and-death battle? Don't mention it again!"
Grand Tutor Su stood up. Although Princess Xia was sharp and unkind, she was a princess and nothing must happen to her. As for Ying Baiwu, although she was a commoner, her personal teacher was Sun Mo. Hence, nothing must happen to her.
As Grand Tutor Su instructed, he released a great teacher halo.
Swoosh!
A golden halo landed on the public square in front of the hall. After that, it spread out in all directions, encompassing a radius of 50 meters.
Prison Drawing!
Sun Mo's brows twitched. This halo belonged to the disciplinary category. It was used as a prison to imprison students who had committed a mistake.
Right now, its use was to prevent the chaotic sword qi and arrows from injuring the guests.
"I want it!"
With Sun Mo's current favorable impression points, he could afford to buy the Prison Drawing, but how could it be free? Hence, he decided to wait a little longer. He might be able to get it out from the chest.
Ying Baiwu hung the quiver on her waist and spoke confidently, "I'll let you make the first move!"
Hua!
The moment the iron-headed girl said this, many people exclaimed in shock.
Wasn't he being too arrogant?
Who didn't know that an archer's advantage lay in their long-range attacks? As long as one's control was good enough, they could prevent their opponents from getting close and kite them to death.
In the end, Ying Baiwu wanted to let her opponent make the first move?
"Arrogant!"
With a clang, Princess Xia pulled out her long sword and rushed over, "I don't want you to give way!"
"Aiya, this fellow is so sinister!"
Qin Yaoguang was shocked. Although Princess Xia said that there was no need, when she charged forward, she did so at full speed. She basically didn't want to give Ying Baiwu a chance to draw her bow.
"If I can let you shoot three arrows, it's my loss!"
Princess Xia brandished her sword.
Limitless Sword Shadow!
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Before he arrived, eight streams of sword qi shot out, heading straight for Ying Baiwu.
Ah!
Many people exclaimed in shock. They didn't expect Princess Xia to also have long-range attacks. This time around, Sun Mo's disciple was in trouble.
Ying Baiwu didn't move half a step. She looked at the incoming sword qi and raised her bow with her left hand. Her right index and middle fingers rapidly drew across the bowstring.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bowstring trembled. Streams of spirit qi rapidly condensed into arrows and shot out. The arrows accurately collided with those tricky sword qi, causing them to fall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The spirit qi arrows collided with the sword qi, causing a series of explosions that weren't too loud.
After that, Princess Xia got close and swung her sword to kill Ying Baiwu.
Ying Baiwu turned and easily dodged the attack. Her posture was elegant and carefree, as though she was dancing.
The guests were all stunned.
Wasn't this young girl's archery a little too accurate?
If she hit one or two streams of sword qi, everyone could understand. But there were eight of them, and they were all shot in less than three seconds.
Xia Taikang's expression sank. He didn't expect his opponent to be so strong!
His younger sister who was proficient in combat was actually not a match?
Princess Xia's expression was heavy. She went all out, but her opponent's agile figure was like a swimming fish. She couldn't hit him at all.
"So this is the Limitless Immortal Suppression Art? It's merely so-so! "
After Ying Baiwu spoke, she started to retaliate.
Her fingers drew across the bowstring!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each time the bowstring trembled, an arrow would be shot out. The angle of the arrows was so crafty that they would even draw a circular arc and shoot toward the back of Princess Xia's head.
"Junior sister Baiwu, you can do it!"
Lu Zhiruo couldn't hold it in anymore and cheered loudly.
The moment Ying Baiwu drew her bow, the arrows were like a torrential storm, drowning Princess Xia.
The little b * tch was tired of dealing with the arrows and had no choice but to take the initiative to distance herself.
Because if she dodged far away, she would be able to block the arrows based on their trajectory. But at such a close distance, it was like a flying dragon riding on her face. She didn't even have a chance to react.
"She lost!"
The people from Great Xia's diplomatic group all had unsightly expressions.
"Chance!"
Princess Xia sensed that Ying Baiwu's attacks had slowed down and immediately rushed over. But before she got close, she was forced back by another wave of arrows.
After this happened three times, Princess Xia understood that Ying Baiwu was toying with her.
"This isn't fair!"
A prince of Great Xia roared, "Her longbow is at least a peerless-grade heaven-tier bow and can condense spirit qi into arrows. Her advantage is too great, how can others win?"
"You speak as if your longsword isn't a peerless-grade weapon!"
Tantai Yutang mocked.
Ying Baiwu suddenly stopped and looked at the prince who spoke. "In that case, you won't have any objections if I change to another weapon, right?"
Pak!
Ying Baiwu tossed the longbow to Lu Zhiruo. After that, she looked at the guard on duty in the distance. "Elder brother, let me borrow your long blade."
"Ah?"
The guard was a little stunned and subconsciously glanced at the captain. After the captain nodded, he tossed the long blade to Ying Baiwu.
The iron-headed girl swung the blade and lunged toward Princess Xia.
"She won't fail, right?"
Xianyu Wei was worried.
"Clearly, Baiwu feels that shooting her isn't satisfying enough and is preparing to beat her up personally!"
Qin Yaoguang guessed.
"Baiwu wouldn't lose even if there were two more opponents like her!"
Helian Beifang smiled. Among his fellow disciples, the two who worked the hardest were Xuanyuan Po and Ying Baiwu. The two of them spent almost all their time on cultivation and would engage in 'life-and-death battles' every day. In addition, they had accumulated a large amount of experience in the darkness illusion dojo. Hence, it was impossible for Ying Baiwu to lose.
As expected, the moment they exchanged blows, Princess Xia felt an immense pressure. Ying Baiwu's attacks were like raging waves, gushing over like wildfire.
Ding!
Princess Xia's longsword was blocked, and she was left wide open.
"Oh no!"
Princess Xia wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.
Ying Baiwu's fist rapidly blasted over, smashing heavily onto her face.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Blood flowed from her nose, and her iron-face blossomed!
Princess Xia was directly beaten into a daze. Her entire person staggered backward, but before she could fall, Ying Baiwu grabbed her hair and pulled her back.
The iron-headed girl flew up. She bent her right leg and kneed Princess Xia's mouth and nose.
Bang!
A loud sound rang out, causing the guests to subconsciously turn their heads away. They couldn't bear to look straight.
Huala!
A large pool of blood gushed out from Princess Xia's mouth and nose. Her mouth was swollen, and many of her teeth had fallen out.
"Who asked you to be disrespectful to my teacher? This is a lesson for you!"
Ying Baiwu didn't stop. Her attacks became even more violent.
