When some human scholars or scholars reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, they would often choose other great Dao to prove themselves. Most of them chose to condense the Lu Ban Ruler of Gong Family.
The four seasons of the Two World Mountain remained unchanged, but the Saint Origin World was in winter. The war in the north slowed down. The Demon Generals and stronger Barbarians were not affected by the cold, but the civilians and soldiers were still affected. The attacks of the Water Tribe made the battlefield even colder.
Jingguo gained some time to rest. The powerful Wu Guo took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, forcing the Barbarians to retreat.
The Nu Zhi Tribe, which had been the testing ground for the humans to tame the Barbarians, also organized an army to train their soldiers.
The strongest Barbarian Marquis of the Nuzhi tribe, Niu Shan, had repeatedly made military exploits. He had even fought a Barbarian Bull King in a one-on-one battle three months ago. He had torn the newly promoted Barbarian King into two halves. He had made an illustrious name for himself, and his reputation was comparable to the chief of the Nuzhi tribe.
Wherever Niu Shan led his army, the Barbarians avoided him. Ordinary Barbarian Kings did not dare to fight with him.
The barbarians of the Nu Zhi Tribe believed that Niu Shan was not only the Moon God's Moon Guard, but also a noble Saint. There was an insurmountable gap between Barbarian Marquis and Barbarian Kings. Only Barbarian Marquis could kill Barbarian Kings. However, many people guessed that Niu Shan had obtained some kind of divine item to be so powerful.
The war in the Saint Origin World slowed down. Many of the High Scholars in the army had more time to prepare for the Scholar Exam in December.
Due to the changes in the Literati Star, the number of Scholar Exam candidates increased. Normally, Jingguo would only accept fifty Scholars every year. However, this year, the number of Scholar Exam candidates in Jingguo exceeded two thousand. The total number of Scholar Exam candidates in the entire Saint Origin World exceeded fifty thousand, which was ten times more than usual.
Moreover, the restrictions on High Scholars were relaxed this year. All High Scholars below the age of sixty could participate in the Scholar Exam.
The new number of Scholar Exam candidates motivated all the humans, especially the scholars who were determined to kill the Barbarians. They spent almost all their time studying so that they could be promoted to Scholar Exam candidates and gain the ability to battle with words to kill more Barbarians.
After Fang Yun read the news about the expansion of Scholar Exam candidates, he put down the newspaper that reeked of ink and walked out of the barracks. He led the Pearl River Army to the city wall.
After the Giant Elephant Army was annihilated, the Demon Realm did not have any abnormal countermeasures. The way they attacked the city returned to normal, but the average strength of the Demon Barbarians increased.
Furthermore, the Qishan Army and the Pearl River Army's sieges happened to diverge. Whenever the Pearl River Army sieged the city, the Qishan Army would definitely be resting. This made it impossible for the Qishan Army to snatch the military merits of the Pearl River Army.
However, the Qishan Army was still crazily fighting for merits. The scholars of the Chu Country no longer cared about the sneak attacks of the Beast Kings and Barbarian Kings. They did their best to attack the Beast Kings and Barbarian Kings outside the city walls to gain military merits.
However, the difference in merits between the Qishan Army and the Pearl River Army was too great, and it was difficult to make up for it.
The Pearl River Army ascended the city walls and arrived at the thirty-second section of the city. Meanwhile, the Mount Qishan Army was attacking the demons and barbarians in front of them.
When the two sides exchanged positions, the Pearl River Army's men puffed out their chests, while the Qishan Army's men could not lift their heads.
Everyone was from the Chu Country, and many of the scholars knew each other. They even used to be in the same class. Now, one of the two armies had become the most powerful army of the human race, comparable to the main army of the Two World Mountain, while the other had become the target of ridicule of the human race.
These people of the Chu Country all knew that because Zhang Longxiang had created a legendary war poem, the entire literary world was proud of him. This was especially so for the citizens of the Chu Country. They had already regarded Zhang Longxiang as a great scholar. Many people no longer had any misgivings about the King Of Chu, and praised Fang Yun in public.
What made the generals of the Mount Qishan Army unable to accept was that the King Of Chu's dignity had suffered a serious blow. Some of the officials of the Chu Country had already begun to feign compliance, while the scholars of the other six countries and the Zhou Country had criticized the King Of Chu for not giving any leeway, causing the King Of Chu's prestige to be completely destroyed.
In the beginning, the generals of the Mount Qishan Army hoped that the King Of Chu could help the Mount Qishan Army surpass the Pearl River Army, but now, if the King Of Chu dared to say anything disrespectful to Fang Yun, the Great Confucian Hall of the literary world would probably start a public discussion and punish the King Of Chu.
The legendary war poem belonged to the entire Kong Shengwen World, and it was also the honor of the Kong Family and even Kong Sheng. If the King Of Chu dared to make a move at this time, it would be the same as cutting himself off from the human race. Even the scholars of the Saint Origin World would rise up and attack him.
Therefore, the Mount Qishan Army had been well-behaved these days. Even Gou Bao did not dare to say anything harsh.
The two armies seemed to have calmed down, but many people were waiting for the fourth day of the twelfth month. They wanted to see how Gou Bao would donate all of the Gou Family's property to the Two Boundaries Mountain.
As the Pearl River Army took over the city, a large number of mechanisms were pushed up. There were more than a hundred of them. Even if they were attacked by multiple Demon Kings, the Pearl River Army still had the strength to fight.
However, Demon Kings were already the upper echelons of the Demon World. Normally, they would not participate in sieges. The Demon Marquises and Barbarian Marquises were usually the strongest.
After changing the guard, Fang Yun did not look at the desolate Gou Bao or the Mount Qishan Army. Instead, he looked forward.
There were no major changes in the Demon Barbarians these days. Under the red Blood Moon, a large number of white tents surrounded the Demon Barbarian City as before. No one knew what had happened in the Demon Barbarian City. No one knew how the Demon Kings and Demon Emperors would attack the city next.
Fang Yun knew that the Demon Barbarians would not give up so easily. Before the Pearl River Army reached the city, the Demon Kings had attacked the city and were defeated by the Human Clan at great cost. After the Pearl River Army reached the city, the Demon Sea Tactic and the Elephant Army failed one after another. All the military scholars concluded that the Demon Barbarians would launch an even larger attack next. It might even decide the outcome of the Battle of Bi Can.
Once the Battle of Bi Can ended and the Demon World lost, the Saints would definitely take revenge and start the Second Great War of the Two Boundaries Mountain. If the Demon World won, the Saints would also take advantage of the situation to start the Great War of the Two Boundaries Mountain.
All the worlds had received accurate information that the Battle of Bi Can was the prelude to the Second Great War of the Two Boundaries Mountain. It was meant to deplete the Human Clan's strength and give the Demon World enough time to mobilize their forces at the same time.
Some people also believed that the Battle of Bi Can was the beginning of the Second Great War of the Two Boundaries Mountain. The end of the Second Great War of the Two Boundaries Mountain should be marked by the return of the Nine Great Saints.
In the history of the Human Clan, other than the time when Kong Sheng was still alive, no other era had been able to resist the Nine Great Saints, not even the Dragons of the Four Seas.
This was the misfortune of the Human Clan. Fortunately, the Literati Star had mutated over the years and the Human Clan had grown extremely quickly. Many people believed that many scholars would become Half-saints thanks to the starlight of the Literati Star. At the same time, there would also be Half-saints who would become Quasi-saints. They would be able to prolong the life of the Human Clan until a supreme expert of the Human Clan appeared and swept across the Demon World like Kong Sheng. Then, the Human Clan would be safe for another thousand years.
There were also many people who were pessimistic. They believed that the Human Clan was about to be enslaved and that there would be scholars who would enjoy themselves before the great disaster.
Fang Yun looked ahead. Some of the generals of the Pearl River Army looked at Fang Yun. Everyone felt a little sorry for him.
This was because Fang Yun's eyes were bloodshot.
The Grand Scholar's eyes were bloodshot, which was definitely an important signal.
"Marquis, how many days has it been since you slept?" asked General Suhlen of the Personal Guard.
"A little more than a month. But I can hold on. It's okay." Fang Yun smiled.
