The Gyeongo people watched excitedly.
The Xun family also raised their heads proudly.
Everyone seemed to have seen Xun Zhixing's victory.
In everyone's view, Fang Yun stabbing the tornado with his sword was just a final act of decency. He wanted to show the strength of character that a scholar should have.
Talent was harder to improve than courage because talent alone was not enough. It also needed a lot of time, and time was Fang Yun's shortcoming.
Everyone saw a silver light hit Xun Zhixing's talent tornado.
The silver sword tip pressed against the edge of the green tornado and slowly stabbed forward. Sparks flew from where the sword tip met the wind, producing an ear-piercing sound of clashing swords.
"Xun Zhixing, hold on!"
"Gyeongo's honor is in your hands!"
"Victory to the Xun family!"
Tens of thousands of Xi Province people cheered for Xun Zhixing. Starlight suddenly burst out from Xun Zhixing's eyes, and the green tornado's aura suddenly increased by one size. Fang Yun's talent sword tilted and was sucked into the tornado.
The Gyeongo people cheered.
The Sheng State Magistrate was overjoyed. He was about to announce Xun Zhixing's victory when he froze.
Xun Zhixing's Talent Qi tornado actually disappeared without a trace. It was even more straightforward than a lamp being extinguished, leaving no traces behind.
Fang Yun's talent sword floated quietly in the air like an edgeless stone sword. No one could feel any power from it.
"Impossible!"
Countless Gyeongo people cried out in alarm.
"Fang Yun cheated. He used a power other than talent!"
"Why didn't the Divine Temple's power react!"
Xun Zhixing had always been a wooden person, and now his face was like a stone statue, his expression stiff.
Fang Yun looked at Xun Zhixing. Others did not know the entire process, but he knew it best.
When the sword and the tornado clashed, the sword was already at a disadvantage. This was because Xun Zhixing had the help of a divine item and had spent more than ten years condensing talent qi. It was not something that Fang Yun's talent energy could compare to. But in the end, Fang Yun felt Xun Zhi release a strange power that strengthened the talent energy tornado. That power was similar to Literary Heart strengthening armchair strategists, so the Temple's power did not stop it.
When Fang Yun saw the sword being sucked into the wind, he thought that he was going to lose and was prepared to accept his defeat. Who would have thought that the Starlight of Literature Palace would show its might and disperse the power of the divine object? Even Xun Zhixing's talent aura tornado was blown away.
Fang Yun felt that the process of Wen Qu's starlight dispersing the tornado was like a huge hand slapping a mosquito. No matter how fast and agile the mosquito was, it could not avoid such a huge hand.
The Literature Starlight was a power Fang Yun had obtained in the Seventh Corridor. It was similar to the Chill and Star King's Ominous Star. It was his own power, so the Divine Temple did not interfere.
Fang Yun felt that fate was playing with him. Xun Zhixing's divine object was not wrong, but it met the Lord of the Stars, Wen Qu Star.
All the talent energy in the world came from Wen Qu Star. That talent aura tornado was not a battle poem formed from Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. It was a pure talent energy power that had no resistance in front of Wen Qu's starlight.
The starlight in Xun Zhixing's eyes suddenly dissipated. His eyes returned to normal, but they were much dimmer than before.
"I observed the sun during the day. I observed the starry sky at night, but today I saw the most majestic power. In this Wen Qu battle, I gave my all, but I still lost. Fang Zhenguo's reputation is well deserved. I am sincerely convinced. "Xun Zhixing bowed solemnly to Fang Yun and ignored the Xun family. He left alone.
No one from the Xun family reprimanded Xun Zhixing. Some of the younger Xun family members even bowed respectfully to his back.
Zong Wude snorted. "This Xun Zhixing is more like it. He did not mention the Xun family's reputation or any prodding. He did not become arrogant when he had the upper hand and did not surrender when he was at a disadvantage. How good is that? Simple and direct. This is a true Wen Qu battle. "
The Gyeongo people wanted to question Fang Yun, but the Holy Temple did not move. Xun Zhixing's words were filled with admiration. Anyone with a literary position could not reprimand Fang Yun.
No matter how unhappy the Xun family members were, they did not dare to question the Holy Temple's power.
Many of the Xun family members whispered to each other.
Fang Yun scanned these people. The Xun family was already in chaos.
Sheng State Magistrate, who was supposed to appear immediately, did not announce the start of the tenth Wen Qu battle.
"Grand Scholar Sheng, where is the candidate for the tenth Wen Qu battle? Didn't you say that you wanted to send me away as soon as possible?" Fang Yundao asked.
Sheng State Magistrate walked over and smiled. "I wanted to send the tenth high scholar to fight you as soon as possible, but I suddenly realized that I did not think it through. You have fought nine battles in a row and must be exhausted. I think that you should rest for two hours. "
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Sheng State Magistrate, but I am not tired. We can start the Wen Qu battle now." Fang Yundao said.
Unexpectedly, Sheng State Magistrate said resolutely, "No! I will not let you fight ten battles in a row. We Gyeongo people will not do such a despicable thing! You might suspect that we were deliberately wasting your talent, but you can be at ease now. Do you want to rest for two hours or four hours? It's up to you. "
"I don't want to rest." Fang Yun smiled at Sheng State Magistrate.
"Sigh … You cannot make us Gyeongo people heartless and unjust. This matter is not negotiable. You must rest for at least half an hour! If you want to leave, I will not stop you. I have a clear conscience! "Sheng State Magistrate said righteously.
Fang Yun roughly understood that his victory had exceeded the Xun family's expectations. The Xun family's tenth candidate probably had a very small chance of winning. They had no choice but to discuss a new strategy to stall for time.
At this point, even a child could see that the Xun family's chances of winning were not high. If Fang Yun left and stopped the Wen Qu battle, it would go along with the Xun family's wishes. As the saying goes, times have changed.
"Since the Xun family is so righteous, I will rest for half an hour. If the Wen Qu battle is still not over after half an hour, then the Xun family will have to give the world an explanation!" Fang Yundao said.
"Sigh, you are still prejudiced against us Gyeongo people and the Xun family. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. See you in half an hour. "Sheng State Magistrate turned around and walked towards where the Xun family members were.
Fang Yun glanced at the Xun family members and then walked to the side of the aerial ship. Below the gigantic ship stood many people who had come with him.
"You live up to your reputation as the world's number one scholar. Today, I will officially hand over the title of the world's number one scholar to you," Yan Yukong said with a smile.
"Brother Yan, you are slandering me!" Fang Yun joked.
"Although I have never fought with Xun Zhixing, I have heard of his reputation. In terms of poetry, he is slightly inferior to me. In terms of courage, he is only slightly inferior to me. In terms of talent, he far surpasses me. In terms of actual combat, he is probably above me. Don't think that Xun Zhixing's strength is mediocre just because he is not famous. There are quite a few geniuses who, due to historical reasons, reside in ancient lands or other places. They almost never set foot in Saint Origin World. "Yan Yukong said.
Fang Yun had also heard of some things. Even among the disciples of aristocratic families, there would be people who committed grave crimes and were exiled. There were also people who failed in the fight for the position of Patriarch or were pushed away. These people would all move out of Saint Origin World. These people could have children outside of Saint Origin World. After a few generations, if they performed meritorious deeds for the family, they could return to Saint Origin World and become a branch family.
There were also very few people who swore to live in the Two World Mountain or some ancient lands forever in order to protect the safety of the human race. They would not fight for power or profit. Both outsiders and the main family respected these people. They were even praised as the true backbone of the human race.
Fang Yun suspected that Xun Zhixing was one of those people who would live in the Ten Cold Ancient Land forever. He could tell from the Xun Family's attitude towards Xun Zhixing. If the Xun Family's reputation was not in danger, Xun Zhixing would definitely not appear in Saint Origin World.
Fang Yun said with some yearning, "I heard that the Ten Nations Academy Literary Competition, the Notre-Dame Literary Competition, the conquest of the ancient lands of the human race, the defense of the Two World Mountain, the infiltration of the Demon Realm, the debate of the Divine Dao, and the most mysterious exploration of the Ten Thousand Worlds, all gathered the top geniuses of the human race. Because these seven experiences are known as the 'Seven Calendars'. Among them, the last five calendars are the most important. The true geniuses will shine in the last five calendars. "
Yan Yukong said helplessly, "Everyone says that I'm extraordinary, but until now, I've only participated in one Academy Literary Competition. When I went to the Two World Mountain, I only participated in the battle. I didn't encounter the legendary defense at all. Apart from me, everyone else who participated in the Literary Competition was a Jinshi. Generally speaking, one has to be at least a Jinshi to participate in the Seven Calendars. The later the Seven Calendars, the higher the rank of the Literary Scholar is required. We don't know how long it will take for us to participate. "
Li Fanming smiled and said, "Scholars and Jinshi like us actually have nothing better to do. When we reach the Hanlin Academy, we will either be in charge of politics or participate in the Seven Calendars. We won't have that much free time."
"Huh? Why is Xun Long back again? He even brought his son with him. I've seen that kid before. He's more outstanding than I was back then, "Zong Wude said.
Fang Yun looked over and saw a familiar figure walking towards the crowd of the Xun Family. It was Xun Long.
This genius Jinshi of the Xun Family had not only investigated Fang Yun the day before, but he had also criticized Fang Yun on the skyship today for not knowing the big picture. He had said confidently that the Xun Family would definitely win the Literary Competition.
Xun Long had a boy who looked about 11 or 12 years old with him. The boy looked a little like him. Every time he saw an elder of the Xun Family or a senior of high literary status, Xun Long would make the boy bow and greet him.
The Xun Family used the power of literary courage to cover up their words. Fang Yun could not hear anything, but he could tell that these people liked this child very much. One of the elders of the Xun Family even casually gave him a Jinshi treasure.
Although Fang Yun did not like Xun Long, he had to admit that this person was quite eloquent. As the top scholar of Gyeongo six years ago, he was naturally very powerful. It was definitely unusual for him to appear right before the Literary Competition was about to begin.
Fang Yun was a little puzzled. It was already midnight. It would have been fine if Xun Long had come alone, but he had even brought his son. It was very strange.
The little boy seemed to have a sorrowful look on his face, but he was still polite. He turned his head and looked at Fang Yun. Although he tried to hide it, Fang Yun could still see the hatred in his eyes.
Fang Yun was even more puzzled. He had no enmity with Xun Long, but now a boy whom he had never met before was looking at him with hatred. This was very suspicious.
Fang Yun recalled the information about Xun Long. He only knew that he was a collateral descendant of the Xun Family and had a son who was more outstanding than he was back then. Now, Xun Long had been trying his best to enter the family tree so that his son could be better nurtured by the Xun Family. He could not be like Fang Yun, who was not valued and was only nurtured by the main family after he was 20 years old.
After watching for a while, Fang Yun could not see anything and continued chatting with Yan Yukong and the others.
