In a literary battle, some people would use defensive battle poems to protect themselves before engaging in close combat. This was the normal usage of battle poems and was not against the rules. However, the Notre-Dame did not want to see the proliferation of literary battles. Therefore, there was a rule that any literary battle won by force would be considered a draw.
Once it was a draw, the literary battle would not be allowed to continue. This would mean that Fang Yun's literary battle would end in a draw.
Fang Yun suspected that this strongman was supposed to fight later, but the Xun family had sent him ahead of time because of his astral power.
"Xun Gang greets Fang Zhenguo." Xun Gang was polite and kind.
"The Xun family is indeed full of hidden talents. Please choose the literary battle and propose a ban." Fang Yun had been observing Xun Gang in secret. He used the Art of War to observe people to obtain information that was beneficial to him.
Although Xun Gang was tall, his skin was fairer than ordinary people's. His accent was not from Xi Zhou, nor was it from the Qing Kingdom, but he was a member of the Xun family. There were many small scars on his exposed skin and a large scar on his chin. It was obvious that he often participated in battles. Normal strongman training would not have so many injuries.
Although Xun Gang was kind, his gaze was much more determined than Xun Xu's. His words and actions were military-like. Obviously, he was a veteran in the army. Fang Yun had lived in the army before, so he could not be wrong.
Fang Yun vaguely guessed Xun Gang's background and had a rough idea.
It was difficult to advance in the literary position of a strongman. In order to make themselves more valuable, they would work harder and be stronger than ordinary scholars. Some strongmen could even severely injure ordinary scholars before they died.
Xun Gang smiled and said, "You are more courageous than other scholars. I won't compete with you. Your talent was once famous in Jiang Province. You defeated me, a Gyeongo scholar. I admit defeat. Therefore, I will choose the literary battle poem. I propose a ban. You are not allowed to write your own battle poem. "
Fang Yun glanced at the Xun family members behind Xun Gang. He did not know who was coming up with the idea.
The second round directly banned the original poem, which showed the Xun family's determination. He would never give Fang Yun any chance to show off his talent.
Fang Yun could have proposed that they could only use their own battle poems, which would have been a sure win for them. However, Xun Gang had blocked it first, and Fang Yun could not deny it. In that case, they could only use other people's battle poems.
If the distance between them was shortened like in the previous match, Xun Gang could get close first and force a draw with his martial arts. If the distance was shortened, Xun Gang could use the Man Challenge Poem, which would increase his chances of winning.
Fang Yun just smiled. This was because he had already deduced the Xun Clan's proposed method of sealing before the start of the previous match. He had even thought of many backup plans.
The Xun family's proposal to ban the first round of the Wen Battle was a bait. Fang Yun seemed to have swallowed the bait and exposed his own strategy, causing the Xun family to immediately send out a Juli who could engage in close combat.
Fang Yundao: "Banned from High Scholar Battle Poems."
Outside the arena.
"Fang Yun's Stop is not bad. I think he knew how to use it in the first battle, but it was useless. It would be better to use it in the second match. In a normal Wen Battle, the distance between the two sides is fifty feet. This Juli is useless, "Ma Xiong said.
However, Yan Yukong said, "The Xun family has experienced many Wen Battles and is very experienced. Before we arrive at Xi State, the Xun family must have gathered together to discuss strategies. Fang Yun's strategy has appeared in the Wen Battle before. The Xun family must have a way to counter it. "
"Counter it? Since they can't use their Juli Battle Poems or their own battle poems, the two of them can only use the Yi Shui Song or the Stone Arrow. The Stone Arrow has only appeared recently. The Juli Battle Poems and Elementary Scholars haven't practiced it for a long time, so its power is far inferior to the Yi Shui Song. Only those who are at the High Scholar level can quickly master the Stone Arrow. They don't need to practice for a long time to fully unleash its power. "
"It seems that Fang Yun isn't good at using the Stone Arrow either. Otherwise, he would have used it from the beginning. After all, no matter how slow the Stone Arrow is, it's still faster than the Smoke Assassin. "
"That makes sense. Since both of them can only use the Yi Shui Song, and Yukong said that the Xun family has a way to counter it, Xun Gang must be special. Let's wait and see. "
On the field.
"Not changing it?" Xun Gang's expression didn't change. He still looked kind.
"Not changing it," Fang Yundao said.
Then, the two of them asked the Holy Temple for help. A transparent light shrouded the two of them.
Fang Yun deliberately kept a distance from Xun Gang. In the end, the two of them were fifteen meters apart. This was the normal distance for an ordinary Wen Battle.
Fang Yun raised his pen and began to talk on paper.
Xun Gang opened his mouth and began to write.
Both of them used the Yi Shui Song.
"The wind is bleak and the water is cold. The warrior leaves and never returns. Exploring the tiger's lair, entering the dragon's palace. Breathing into the sky, he becomes a white rainbow. "
Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin was the same as before. Silver fish scales appeared on the dagger. The Smoke Assassin's aura was extremely powerful, displaying the power of a Star King.
The Smoke Assassin charged forward, while Xun Gang retreated while chanting the Yi Shui Song. Xun Gang's physique was excellent, so he retreated very quickly.
When Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin was three meters away from Xun Gang, Xun Gang finally finished the Yi Shui Song. His Smoke Assassin appeared.
Xun Gang's Smoke Assassin was different!
The dagger in the assassin's hand did not reveal its edge. Instead, it was wrapped in a paper-like black fog. Furthermore, his assassin's appearance was several times clearer than Fang Yun's. It was more like a real person.
Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin had the aura of killing all the nobles in the world. Xun Gang's Smoke Assassin's aura was even stronger. It had killed an emperor!
Zong Wude exclaimed, "Poetic soul! Jing Ke assassinated Qin and wrapped the dagger in a map. In the end, the dagger was revealed! Once this dagger's Hidden Edge appears, it will definitely have the power to kill the Son of Heaven. It's even stronger than Fang Yun's Yuchang Sword! One assassinated the nobles and the other assassinated the first emperor. Xun Gang's poetic soul is even stronger! "
"The Xun family is indeed a thousand-year-old family! A poem is not an armchair strategist. Originally, it could not be added into the poetic soul. However, if a person has a deep understanding of a battle poem and practices it for ten years, the poem would no longer be an ordinary second realm poem soul. It would be close to the third realm, and even a poem with a poetic soul would have a poetic soul. "
Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin stopped, while Xun Gang's Smoke Assassin firmly blocked Xun Gang. He lowered his head slightly and held his dagger tightly. He did not take his opponent seriously at all.
Fang Yundao said, "It seems that Brother Xun is indeed from the Ten Cold Ancient Land. I wonder how many years he has been practicing the Yi Shui Song."
"Since I taught myself the Yi Shui Song, I would exhaust my talent to practice the Yi Shui Song every morning. I would read books in the morning, train my body in the afternoon, and exhaust my talent to practice the Yi Shui Song again at night. Finally, I would sleep. I have persisted for two whole years." Xun Gang said proudly. He had released the resentment in his heart for many years. His fighting spirit was high because he had obtained a chance to stand out.
"Admirable," Fang Yun said sincerely. He did not mock him because of their opposition.
Xun Gang smiled confidently and said, "If you admit defeat now, you can escape unscathed!"
Fang Yundao said, "The Xun family is very confident, but I should be the one saying this. Admit defeat. If my Smoke Assassin attacks, I can't control my strength well. It would be bad if I accidentally kill you in a literary battle. "
"Your Smoke Assassin is indeed mysterious. Perhaps it has something to do with your experience in the Holy Ground. However, it is nothing in front of my poetic soul! If I had continued to practice the Yi Shui Song back then, I would have reached the Third State Calling Sage. Even a Scholar's Sword of Words would not be able to defeat me! "
Fang Yun did not refute immediately. A Third State Scholar's Battle Poem was indeed better than an ordinary Sword of Words.
Fang Yun had read history books. There was once an eighty-year-old Old Show Talent in the Qi Nation who taught in the town for decades. There was nothing special about him. One day, the Three-Headed Demon Commander led more than ten Demon Generals and more than a hundred Demon Soldiers into the town. The highest ranking person in the town was the Old Show Talent, who was equivalent to a Demon Soldier.
However, the unknown Old Show Talent actually wrote the Third State Calling Song of Yi Shui. It contained a bit of righteousness and summoned Jing Ke's consciousness to slaughter the invading demons.
In the same year, the Old Show Talent became a High Scholar. In the same year, he became a Scholar. On the day he became a Scholar, he successfully broke through to Hanlin Academy.
The day after he became a Scholar, the old man said to his family with a smile, "I knew I could become a Scholar since I was young." With that, the old man passed away with a smile.
"You can't compare to that 'One Day Scholar'. Far from it."
As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, his Smoke Assassin rushed out like a flash of lightning.
Xun Gang's Smoke Assassin charged forward at a speed that wasn't any slower than the others. The dagger was pulled out of the scroll, and a strange bloody light exploded. The entire Smoke Assassin actually condensed into a bloody dagger with a pair of furious eyes on it.
The bloody dagger carried the aura of assassinating an emperor. It wanted to pierce through Fang Yun's Smoke Assassin and then assassinate Fang Yun.
"You don't even understand the simplest logic. Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin. Zhuan Zhu assassinated the King of Wu. The Fish Intestine once drank the blood of the nobles! "
In Fang Yun's indifferent voice, the Fish Intestine Sword and the bloody dagger clashed.
A strange chill was emitted from the Fish Intestine Sword. A frosty white aura covered a radius of ten feet and froze the bloody dagger.
Crack …
The bloody dagger shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.
"I admit defeat!" Xun Gang hurriedly retreated. His body was covered in white frost that was as thick as a scale armor. It was so cold that his face turned blue and his body trembled. He was extremely shocked.
"How can your chill be stronger than the Descent of Absolute Frost in the ancient land!" After retreating three steps, Xun Gang lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud. He fainted.
The light shield of the holy temple dissipated. Fang Yun had won the second round.
Many Xun family members hurriedly ran over to give him first aid. One of them used a medical book to treat Xun Gang.
The medical book floated in the air and emitted a faint green light that enveloped Xun Gang. However, the white frost on Xun Gang's body did not weaken at all.
In the end, that person put away the medical book and shook his head. "At least a medical scholar can save him. This white frost is extraordinary. It seems to have the power of the stars and has caused many parts of his body to be necrotic. Quickly send him back to the Xun family! "
The Xun family members immediately went to carry Xun Gang. When one of them touched the white frost on Xun Gang's body, he immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He shouted, "No! This white frost is too strong. It's actually freezing my finger! "
Fang Yun waved his hand casually. His Smoke Assassin rushed forward and swept past Xun Gang's body before disappearing.
The white frost on Xun Gang's body slowly melted.
The Xun family doctor hurriedly said, "Thank you for sparing my life, Fang Zhenguo. Since you've taken back the frost, only a medical scholar can save him. There's no need to invite a medical scholar."
"I advise the Xun family to invite a medical scholar," Fang Yundao said.
"Why?" The Xun family members were puzzled.
"Because there are still eight more rounds."
