Everyone held their breaths, waiting to hear how Fang Yun would decide to propose the ban.
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "I suggest that the distance between the two sides be no more than two feet."
Xun Xu's face darkened, but he was not too surprised.
A literary battle was different from a literary battle. A literary battle was to determine the winner, while a literary battle was to determine life and death.
A literary battle was a battle of life and death. In order to win, all kinds of poems could be used. There was no suggestion of a literary battle. However, in a literary battle, each person could only write one poem. One poem would determine the winner and reduce casualties.
"That's right." Yan Yukong was deep in thought after he finished speaking.
"Since Fang Yun can only choose to write the 'Song of Yi Shui', the distance between the two sides is the key. If it's too close, it will violate the Notre-Dame's rule. Two feet is just right. No matter if Xun Xu writes or recites, he will need at least four breaths of time. The smoke assassin will have a great chance to get close to him before that. "
Xun Xu said, "I agree."
Then, they bowed to each other and spoke at the same time.
"Jingguo's High Scholar Fang Yun will participate in a literary battle. Please assist the Divine Temple."
"Gyeongo's High Scholar Xun Xu will participate in a literary battle. Please assist the Divine Temple."
After they finished speaking, a huge transparent shield covered them. It emitted a faint light, separating them from the others.
"Please!"
"Please!"
After they finished speaking, they retreated until they were two feet away from each other. They put down their clothes and dipped their brushes in ink.
They looked at each other. One was calm and the other was calm.
The surroundings were completely silent. Even the people who had been cursing had shut their mouths and were quietly watching the two people in the light barrier.
Suddenly, the huge transparent shield flashed.
Fang Yun raised his brush and started to write. He activated the power of the high level High Scholar Xun Xu to write the 'Song of Yi Shui'. Xun Xu's rule was that he could not use his literary heart to write his battle poems. The 'Song of Yi Shui' was created by Jing Ke, so he could use his literary heart to write it.
After a breath. An assassin made of black smoke appeared beside Fang Yun.
Thousands of people cried out in surprise.
"Poem completed in one breath!"
"High level literary heart!"
"An Elementary Scholar has crossed the Three Mountains and Three Pavilions!"
A brilliant smile appeared on Li Wenying's face.
Those who had been transported into the Comet Corridor with Fang Qiu smiled proudly.
The moment Fang Yun raised his brush, Xun Xu retreated quickly and chanted Surging Waves clearly.
Once the "Surging Waves" poem was completed, it would definitely form a huge wave. Not only could it shatter the Smoke Assassin, it could also easily injure Fang Yun, unless Fang Yun admitted defeat midway.
However, 《Surging Waves》 required at least four breaths to be recited.
An undetectable Star Energy descended from the sky, landing on the Smoke Assassin's body.
In Saint Origin World, everyone's Smoke Assassin was made up of black fog. Even the dagger was made of black mist. However, this Smoke Assassin's dagger was covered in a layer of faint silver light that resembled fish scales.
This silver light was clearly very faint, but it gave this very ordinary Smoke Assassin an aura of killing all the kings of the world. It was incomparably compatible with the original author of the 《Yi Shui Song》, Jing Ke's intent when he assassinated Qin Ye.
Even those who already knew that Fang Yun could compose a poem in one breath were stunned. Because everyone who saw this silver light felt a chill run down their spine. Even the scholars present felt a chill run down their spine.
The most frightening thing was that under the effect of the silver light, the Smoke Assassin's running speed was three times that of a normal Smoke Assassin!
Fang Yun could only feel a mysterious power descending from the sky, but he did not know where this power came from. Then, he inexplicably thought of a line from the 《War State Strategy》.
"Fu Zhuan Zhu's Assassin Wang Liao, a comet attacking the moon."
Fang Yun suddenly understood. The silver light that covered the dagger like fish scales was the light of the Fish Intestine Sword. And one of the Four Great Assassins of the Warring States Period, Zhuan Zhu, used the famous Fish Intestine Sword to kill Wang Liao. When he killed Wang Liao, a comet shot towards the moon.
At this moment, the Star Energy descending on the Smoke Assassin. It had to be the power of a comet.
The King of Stars could mobilize the Star Energy.
Xun Xu originally wanted to risk being attacked by the Smoke Assassin to finish reciting the 《Surging Waves》 and heavily injure Fang Yun, or force Fang Yun to admit defeat. But when Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin approached, Xun Xu felt an unprecedented despair. It was as if he was standing on the edge of death. As long as the Smoke Assassin stabbed out with his dagger, even if he was the ruler of a country, he would not be able to survive.
Xun Xu was scared out of his wits.
Without waiting for the Smoke Assassin's Fish Intestine Sword to reach him, Xun Xu's recitation of the 《Surging Waves》 came to an abrupt end. He hugged his head, bent over, and rolled on the ground. At the same time, he loudly shouted, "I admit defeat! I admit defeat! "
An invisible power blocked the Smoke Assassin and saved Xun Xu.
Xun Xu fell to the ground, looking at the Smoke Assassin with a face full of fear. He could not believe that he had been scared to this extent by an elementary scholar's battle poem. Furthermore, he felt a deep sense of fear towards the Smoke Assassin.
Xun Xu felt that there was no High Scholar in the world who could dodge the Smoke Assassin's attack. Even a Grand Scholar could lose his life to the Smoke Assassin's dagger if he did not prepare a Battle of Words beforehand.
The Smoke Assassin dispersed, and Fang Yun cupped his hands towards Xun Xu.
"Thank you for letting me win."
The surroundings were incomparably silent. Those who had been cursing Fang Yun shut their mouths tightly, not daring to say anything bad about Fang Yun. They were afraid that the Smoke Assassin would suddenly appear again.
"That … was that the legendary Fish Intestine Sword?" Li Wenying could not help but ask.
Although the Fish Intestine Sword was a dagger, it could still be considered a sword. Scholars carried swords, while martial artists carried sabers. This could be seen from the scholar's attire.
Although the Battle of Words was the condensation of talent, it could be used to sharpen the sword's body and steal the killing intent of an ancient sword.
The Fish Intestine Sword was a famous ancient sword. It was an ancient sword that all scholars dreamed of obtaining. Even if one could not steal the killing intent, being able to comprehend a bit of it was enough to make the Battle of Words even stronger.
"I don't know either." Fang Yun said.
"Let's not talk about why the Smoke Assassin is so strong. What's up with your high-rank calligraphy?" Grand Scholar Kong stared at Fang Yun with wide eyes. The shock in his eyes did not fade for a long time.
The Sheng Province Magistrate said loudly, "The second round of the Battle of Words is about to begin. Unrelated people are not allowed to disturb."
Fang Yun revealed a look of understanding. He had slept for so long, conserving his energy. The Xun family knew that their delaying tactic had failed, so they decided to beat him at his own game. They arranged the ten rounds of the Battle of Words in close succession. No matter how strong a genius was, after going through so many battles, problems would appear in their talent and energy. Once a flaw appeared, they would be able to deal the final blow.
Fang Yun smiled faintly and looked at the second High Scholar who walked over.
This High Scholar was extremely tall. He was at least eight feet tall and was not inferior to an ordinary Barbarian Bull General. His muscles were extremely well-developed. His upper arms were several times thicker than Fang Yun's thighs. It was as if he had the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards.
Fang Yun thought to himself, 'So he's a High Scholar. Jingguo Princess Zhao Hongzhuang also has a High Scholar by her side.'
Scholars belonged to the middle class of the human race. They were the pillars of the country and could occasionally protect important people. However, they were not allowed to be full-time attendants or bodyguards. Furthermore, there were many restrictions on the private armies of the Barbarians. Thus, some of the great clans trained especially strong scholars.
High Scholars had undergone the baptism of talent three times: Scholar, Elementary Scholar, and High Scholar. Their bodies were even stronger. Not only were they like ordinary High Scholars, they were able to talk on paper and speak eloquently. At the same time, they had extremely fast reaction speed and close combat abilities. They were the most suitable for protecting people.
