Two months' time was up.
Zhong Shan, Zhao Suxiang, Xiaoyao Hou, and Shao Fei Hou were all gathered at Princess Ling'er's residence.
Theory test! Today was the day of the theory test.
However, this rule made a fair theory test seem extremely unfair! However, this theory test was originally unfair because there was only one judge, Princess Ling'er!
Princess Ling'er's residence, on a floating island. Ling'er, accompanied by Nie Qingqing, sat in a palace and looked at the four tables outside the palace.
In front of the four tables stood the four candidates for the theory test. Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone were all in place.
The four of them all stood in front of the tables.
"Alright, the last two hours will depend on everyone's luck!" Nie Qingqing said. Then, she turned to look at Zhong Shan and gave him a deep look.
This time, Xiaoyao Hou was very excited! Zhao Tian Sha and Shao Fei Hou were full of confidence. Zhong Shan smiled faintly.
Zhao Tian Sha and Shao Fei Hou were full of confidence. The two of them did not take advantage of the situation. Instead, they took the paper on the table, spread it out, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write the essay.
Writing on the spot showed that the two of them were confident enough. It could also show their true talent and show their sincerity.
Everything depended on one's true ability!
Shao Fei Hou was sometimes thinking and sometimes writing. He was concentrating and his eyes were full of seriousness.
Zhao Tian Sha, when he picked up the brush, the red flame pattern between his eyebrows was constantly pulsating. Every time it pulsated, the brush in Zhao Tian Sha's hand moved by a millimeter!
The two of them were concentrating on writing. Zhong Shan and Xiaoyao Hou, who were at the front and back, each brought their own things.
Xiaoyao Hou took out a roll of paper. There was a string tied to it, and on the string, there seemed to be a large number of seals. It locked the roll of paper and imprisoned all the aura of the roll of paper, waiting for Xiaoyao Hou to unravel it!
Xiaoyao Hou grabbed the roll of paper, his eyes full of confidence. This was an essay written by the Emperor. How could anyone compare to his essay? As long as it was unlocked, it would definitely shake the heavens and earth, and he would take first place! The only fly in the ointment was that the two bastards beside him actually wrote it on the spot. Weren't they clearly suspecting that his article was written by someone else?
Fortunately, Zhong Shan, who was at the edge of the mountain, was the same as me!
Looking at Zhong Shan, Xiaoyao Hou showed a trace of disdain. The new top scholar of the Daluo Dynasty? So what? Could he write better than His Majesty? When I win, I'll make you wish you were dead!
Zhong Shan didn't care about the three of them. Instead, he gently took out a small wooden box. He placed it on the table and waited for the two hours to end.
The palace had set up a restriction that could prevent the conversation between Nie Qingqing and Tian Ling 'er from being heard by others.
"Big Sister, I know about the written exam and the martial exam. As long as you defeat your opponent, you'll be able to determine who is first. But for the written exam, I don't know much about essays. How are you going to judge?" Tian Ling 'er looked at Nie Qingqing blankly.
"Written exam? Hehe, it's all up to you. Since you're the judge, whoever you say is first will be first. No one can question it. Moreover, the best essays can often evoke some strange reactions! "Nie Qingqing said.
"Strange reactions?" Tian Ling 'er was puzzled.
"Of course. Let's take the Daluo Dynasty's Imperial Examinations for example …" Nie Qingqing said.
"Ah? Zhong Shan is so amazing? A single essay can cause thunder to roll? Angering the heavens? "Tian Ling 'er covered her mouth in surprise.
"Indeed!" Nie Qingqing smiled. At the same time, she was also helping Zhong Shan.
"But, but what is he doing?" Tian Ling 'er pointed at Zhong Shan in the distance.
In the distance, Zhong Shan's expression was calm. He didn't pick up his brush to write. Instead, there was a small wooden box in front of him. Clearly, he had finished writing long ago.
"He should have written it long ago. His Majesty's rules for the written exam are like this. He can write it a few days in advance. Zhong Shan must have written a lot of things. Two hours isn't enough, so he might as well write it in advance!" Nie Qingqing guessed with a puzzled expression.
"Oh!" Tian Ling 'er nodded in a daze.
Then, Tian Ling 'er looked at the four of them. When she saw Xiaoyao Hou, her eyes were filled with disgust. When she saw Zhao Tiansha, her eyes were filled with excitement. However, this excitement was much fainter than when she saw Zhao Tiansha a month ago. When she looked at Shao Fei Hou, there was a trace of indifference in her eyes. Shao Fei Hou was outstanding, but she didn't have that kind of excitement. Finally, she looked at Zhong Shan. When she saw Zhong Shan, Tian Ling 'er's expression became incomparably complicated.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Tiansha was the first to write the last stroke!
"Peng ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Like a volcanic eruption, a huge flame suddenly rushed out from Zhao Tiansha's piece of paper and soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the clouds in the sky seemed to have been burned red by this huge flame. It was filled with a powerful explosive force! Just one look at it would make one's blood boil.
Tian Ling 'er felt a burst of excitement. Her most admired senior brother could write such a powerful essay. Tian Ling' er couldn't help but feel happy for him.
The flame in the sky gradually dissipated, leaving only the paper, which was surrounded by a faint red light. Even without seeing the essay, one could feel the extraordinariness of this essay.
At this time, Shao Fei Hou's brush also made the last stroke.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp" …
Under Marquis Shao Fei's pen, a crisp sound could be heard. It was as if thousands of birds were chirping happily. The Vermillion Bird that was eating the Flame-Gathering Rice suddenly raised its head and looked at Marquis Shao Fei with a puzzled expression. Birds? Where did the birds come from?
Following which, a fragrant scent wafted out from Shao Fei Hou's brush. A beautiful jasmine flower suddenly floated out from the paper. More and more flowers floated out from the paper, and thousands of illusory birds constantly fluttered in the flowers.
Birds chirping and flowers fragrant. From Shao Fei Hou's brush, such a grand and gentle scene appeared. It was very beautiful! Very mystical. Only after twenty breaths did all of this faintly dissipate!
Shao Fei Hou looked at what he had just written with satisfaction. Nie Qingqing, who was far away, looked at it and revealed a surprised expression. Shao Fei Hou didn't write anything, but drew a portrait of Tian Ling 'er. The Tian Ling' er in the portrait was extremely beautiful!
The countenance of a flower and the face of the moon! Birds chirping and flowers fragrant! Even from a long distance away, people could smell the fragrance of the air.
Tian Ling 'er's mouth was already agape. Previously, when Nie Qingqing described the Great Havenlaw Dynasty's Imperial Examinations, she was already yearning for it. However, this was the first time she saw a brush entering the realm. From Zhao Tiansha's volcanic eruption to Shao Fei Hou's bird chirping and flowers fragrant! All of them were saying that these two works were unprecedented and would never be repeated.
As a result, the works of the two on the spot created an illusion, which immediately pushed the two to the peak.
"Haha, Zhong Shan, what about you?" Xiaoyao Hou sneered at the side.
"Xiaoyao Hou, please!" Zhong Shan still ignored him.
The other two also looked at Xiaoyao Hou and Zhong Shan!
"Alright, then I'll let you see what a good essay is. Haha!" Xiaoyao Hou said arrogantly.
Then, he gently unraveled the thin lines on the scroll. He unrolled the paper.
"Peng ~ ~ ~ ~"
The moment the scroll was unrolled, endless golden sand sprayed out from the scroll. The golden sand soared into the sky and then sprinkled down to the ground. Within the scroll, there was a yellow light that was like a pillar supporting the heavens, illuminating the sky. Suddenly, countless illusions appeared in the sky. Beautiful mountains and rivers, dancing dragons and phoenixes, immortals enjoying themselves, and the sound of gods resounded.
The entire Princess Residence was instantly immersed in a sacred and vast illusion. Within the Princess Residence, everyone stopped what they were doing and felt the sudden change in the world.
Too beautiful! Too beautiful!
Everyone felt like they were in a dream. This beautiful illusion lasted for nearly half an incense stick's time.
When the illusion dissipated, everyone was still immersed in it.
Too powerful! This article was actually able to cause such a shocking change when it was just opened. It immediately surpassed the previous two articles.
Tian Ling 'er and Nie Qingqing looked at it in amazement. It was too beautiful! What kind of person could actually write such an earth-shattering article?
Xiaoyao Hou? The two girls felt disdain in their hearts. It definitely couldn't be him. There was only one person who could write such a grand essay, the Dali Emperor, Nie Fanchen!
Xiaoyao Hou was still very pleased with himself. He looked at the result with incomparable satisfaction and then turned to look at Zhong Shan.
"Okay, now it's just you, Zhong Shan!" Xiaoyao Hou shouted.
Everyone looked at Zhong Shan.
Everyone had collected information about Zhong Shan. His essay moved the heavens and was struck by lightning! Zhong Shan's essay was powerful. It could be seen from the Dali Dynasty's Imperial Examination. How powerful was it? Everyone really wanted to see it for themselves.
However, no matter how powerful it was, could it be stronger than the Dali Emperor?
Xiaoyao Hou sneered. Shaofei Hou looked dignified. Zhao Tian killed a trace of coldness! Everyone looked at Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan took a deep breath and gently opened the small wooden box.
Everyone gathered their thoughts and carefully took precautions. They were afraid that Zhong Shan would also write a bewitching essay.
The wooden box was opened, but no light rushed out. It was plain and dull!
It was precisely because of his indifference that everyone felt even more uncertain. They were even more cautious because of Zhong Shan's performance in the past two months. No one dared to underestimate him.
Slowly, Zhong Shan took out a book from the small wooden box. It was a thick book with nothing special about it!
"Ling'er, this is what I made in the past few days!" Zhong Shan said.
After Zhong Shan finished speaking, everyone's mind went blank. That's it?
That's it? There was no astronomical phenomenon? There was no illusion at all? Just an ordinary little book? Everyone suddenly felt that their minds were not enough. Zhong Shan's essay was too ordinary. Did he think that by writing a little more, he could surpass these great essays?
A book?
"Present it!" Nie Qingqing said.
Then, the four servants quickly brought the four people's items into the palace. Ling'er, who was in the palace, personally reviewed them.
As soon as the four people's essays entered the main hall, Nie Qingqing and Ling'er immediately stared at Zhong Shan's things.
Literature rages the heavens? It was impossible that Zhong Shan could not write an earth-shattering essay. But what was going on now? Why was there no phenomenon at all?
