Fang Yun welcomed Xun Long and walked toward the Wen Duel.
Fang Yun was curious, not understanding what Xun Long was trying to do. He was a Grand Scholar, not a High Scholar.
Xun Long was dressed in a white blademaster robe. He had a tall figure and a serious expression. He placed his hands behind his back like an old man and said, "Fang Yun, I'll give you one last chance. If you withdraw from today's Wen Duel, the Xun family will consider it a draw. We'll write off everything that happened before, and we won't pursue your crime of ruining Xun Ye's courage. If you persist in going about things the wrong way, this will be the place where you'll be defeated! "
Fang Yun immediately retorted, "Stop nagging like a resentful woman! If I'm guilty, there's Kong City's Ministry of Justice, Notre-Dame's Punishment Hall, and saints above. Your Xun family keeps saying that you suspect me. Did you report it to the police, or did you dare to ask for a holy verdict? Stop spouting nonsense that even you don't believe. If you don't dare, then you don't dare! If you continue to smear my courage, I'll ask for a holy verdict immediately! Do you dare to repeat what you just said in front of the people of Pennsylvania?! "
Xun Long glared at him and said, "How much more nonsense do you want to cause?! The Xun family is a thousand-year-old aristocratic family. No matter what, you've already offended the Xun family. As a scholar, how can you act so recklessly?! If you can't even take a step back for the sake of the quasi-saint aristocratic family, how can you talk about serving the human race?! "
Some people frowned because Xun Long wasn't only berating Fang Yun, but he was also laying a trap in his words.
Fang Yun looked at him coldly and said, "Not to mention the quasi-saint aristocratic family, I can even take a step back for the sake of the Half-saint aristocratic family! But I want to ask, can the heartless Xun Ye represent the quasi-saint aristocratic family, or can a Grand Scholar like you represent the Xun family? "The Xun family isn't just your house. It's not just your current Xun family members. It's also the Xun family's heroes who have sacrificed themselves for the human race. It's also the generations of seniors who have pursued the Divine Path. It's their military exploits, their spirit, and Xun Zi's Divine Path! All of you. Who can represent the Xun family?! Who dares to represent the Xun family?! "
"You …"
Fang Yun interrupted Xun Long, "If it was for the sake of the Xun Family's heroic sacrifice, I would be willing to take ten thousand steps back, let alone one step back. However, the ones who humiliated me and harmed me were not the Xun Family, but idiots like you who can't tell right from wrong! All of you know very well why Xun Ye's courage is shattered, yet you still pretend to investigate me. The real Xun family wouldn't do such a thing! The old patriarch of the Xun family is still here. If he says that I, Fang Yun, am wrong and that I have shattered Xun Ye's literary courage, I will immediately stop the literary battle! The head of the Xun family did not speak. All of you are pretending to be members of the Xun family. What a disgrace! "
"How dare you humiliate the Xun family!" Xun Long was seething with anger.
"You brought this upon yourself!" Fang Yun said calmly as he looked at Xun Long.
Xun Long withdrew his hands from behind his back and clenched his fists tightly. "I'll ask you one last time. Are you withdrawing from this battle of wits or not?"
"You talk too much. Let the tenth High Scholar come. I will leave once I win." Fang Yundao said.
"You can't win! The tenth High Scholar is about to arrive. This battle of wits must begin within fifteen minutes. Do you have any objections? "Xun Long's tone was filled with confidence, but behind his confidence was a monstrous resentment.
"No." Fang Yun knew that Xun Long must have some tricks up his sleeve, but he was already fearless.
Xun Long raised his head and looked at the sky. He looked at the Literati Star and said, "Grand Scholar Xun Long carries the blood of the Xun family. I have nothing to repay you. Fang Yun has repeatedly bullied the Xun family. The Xun family has tolerated him time and time again, but he has been aggressive and tried to use the literary battle to destroy the Xun family's thousand-year-old reputation! Today. Grand Scholar Xun Long apologizes to the Literati Star and is willing to shatter my literary courage in order to wash away the stain on the Xun family's name! Crack the literary palace! Withdraw from my literary position! "
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Is he crazy?"
"Crazy! Crazy! "
"He can enter the Hanlin Academy in a year at most!"
Soon after, the crisp sound of a Grand Scholar's literary gall shattering could be heard. It was mixed with the sound of the literary palace cracking, but it did not shatter.
Xun Long's body was trembling non-stop. Soon after, blood flowed from his nose and mouth. However, he still stood upright and raised his head.
Fresh blood flowed down and stained the High Scholar's white robe.
Fang Yun was stunned. If the literary gall was broken by external forces, the power of a secondary saint family would be enough to repair it. However, if one's literary gall was broken, even a Half-saint family would not be able to repair it. This was because it meant that the person had given up on the Divine Path. He did not expect Xun Long to dare to do this.
In the ancestral teachings of some aristocratic families, breaking one's literary gall was equivalent to severing one's bloodline.
Almost at the same time, Fang Yun understood Xun Long's motive. Xun Long's literary gall was reduced to that of a High Scholar. Not only could he participate in the literary battle, but more importantly, he could give up on his literary palace and literary gall.
Xun Long was now a High Scholar in name, but his literary gall was that of a Grand Scholar. It would take at least two hours for his literary gall to completely degrade to that of a High Scholar.
Within these two hours, Xun Long's battle poems would retain 90% of their original strength. The only downside was that he could not use his Grand Scholar battle poems. This had nothing to do with his literary gall.
A High Scholar's gall was like a finger, while a Grand Scholar's gall was like an arm. Not only was it much thicker, but the power contained within it was also much greater than that of a High Scholar. Furthermore, the speed at which the High Scholar's gall was faster.
A Grand Scholar's gall and a High Scholar's gall was a one-sided battle.
"Fang Yun is in danger!" Li Fanming's face was filled with worry.
"If Fang Yun had been a High Scholar for a long time, he might be able to fight Xun Long. However, Xun Long was close to becoming a Hanlin Scholar, while Fang Yun had just become a High Scholar. It could be said that the difference between the two of them was one and a half literary gall!"
"Sigh, no wonder Xun Long brought his son here. He wanted everyone to witness his sacrifice for the Xun Family. Even if he became an ordinary High Scholar, the Xun Family should still take care of his son. If I'm not wrong, Xun Long had already made an agreement with the Xun Family's steward. Regardless of the outcome, his son would be added to the family tree. "
"Sigh …"
After a long sigh, Xun Long pointed at Fang Yun and said, "Fang Zhenguo, I will be the High Scholar for the tenth round! I challenge you to a battle of poetry. Do you dare? "
Fang Yun looked at Xun Long and said in a low voice, "To protect Xun Ye in order to get promoted, you are heartless. Knowing that I am innocent, you still tried to frame me. That is unrighteous. You destroyed your own literary gall and disrespected the Literary Star. That is what Xun Zi said, 'There is no Heaven and Earth'. You also ruined the reputation of the Xun Family and shamed our ancestors. That is what Xun Zi said, 'There is no Heaven and Earth'. You are heartless and unrighteous. For the tenth round, I will win! "
"Fang Yun, you will pay for what you said today! I suggest that you stop using your literary gall! Please help the Sage Temple! " Xun Long's eyes were red. He could not tolerate Fang Yun using the most important principles of the Confucian School to deny him.
Fang Yun said calmly, "I suggest that you stop using your High Scholar battle poems."
Although he was prepared, Xun Long was still infuriated. His greatest reliance was his High Scholar battle poems. Even if Fang Yun used his own battle poems, he would not be afraid. This was because the talent of a Grand Scholar was enough to make up for his shortcomings. But now, he could only use his battle poems, which greatly limited his Grand Scholar talent.
Xun Long sneered and said slowly, "Today, I will let you know why you lost! I will let you know the true strength of a Gyeongo Scholar. I will let you know that the difference between literary gall is enough to crush your insignificant talent! "
"Cut the crap!"
The Sage Temple's light shield descended and Fang Yun slowly retreated.
Fang Yun was constantly calculating in his heart. Xun Long must have created his own battle poems, but since they could not be passed down, it meant that the poem's power was limited. Xun Long was very likely to choose the Yi Shui Song.
Fang Yun thought about it and decided to use the Stone Arrow. Since he could not use his literary gall and his writing was slow, he could only use the Opening Chapters. Even if the Opening Chapters did not have the precious light of the original poem, its power would be extremely strong. Coupled with the power of the King of Stars, Fang Yun was confident that he could at least be on par with Xun Long.
Forcing the Xun family's genius to surrender his literary gall was a huge victory.
When the two were fifteen meters apart, the two bowed to each other. Then, they stood up straight and looked at each other.
The moment the two saw each other, they opened their mouths at the same time.
"In the dark forest, the grass is startled by the wind …"
The two spoke at the same time. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then, many people from the Xun family and Gyeongo laughed.
Li Fanming was so angry that he did not know how to vent. He fiercely stomped his foot and scolded, "How can Fang Yun be so unwise! Even a pig's brain knows that this poem cannot be used! "
Li Wenying revealed a strange smile because he already knew that this poem was written by Fang Yun.
Xun Long's eyes flashed with joy. He also opened his mouth, but he was slightly faster than Fang Yun.
Moreover, the Stone Arrow that was driven by the talent of a Grand Scholar was at least thirty percent faster than a High Scholar's!
Xun Long wanted to laugh out loud while he was opening his mouth. A Grand Scholar was not like a Xiu Cai1 or a High Scholar. They could completely master a Xiu Cai1 battle poem in just a few days.
The Stone Arrow was recognized as a strong poem. In terms of momentum, it was naturally not as strong as the Song of Yi Shui's Jing Ke Assassinating Qin. However, it was better in other aspects, especially its extremely strong penetrating power and extremely fast flying speed. It was deeply rooted in the essence of the Archer Sage Li Guang's archery. It could be cultivated continuously. Once one reached the third or even the legendary fourth level, one could summon the complete Sage Soul of Li Guang.
The Xun family was a Secondary Sage family. Naturally, they would do their best to study this poem. As for Xun Long, he was the Grand Scholar of the country. After discovering the uniqueness of this poem, he often practiced it. He wanted to borrow the power of this poem to create his own battle poem and obtain the power of Li Guang.
Xun Long's recitation speed was much faster than Fang Yun's. When he finished reciting the second line, Fang Yun was two words behind.
This meant that Xun Long was half a breath faster than Fang Yun. This half a breath was enough for Fang Yun to finish reciting the poem and let the Stone Arrow pierce through Fang Yun.
However, something unexpected happened. Fang Yun's expression changed when he recited the first line. After reciting the second line instinctively, he stopped.
Xun Long thought that Fang Yun knew that he had chosen the wrong poem and was not fast enough, so he gave up prematurely. Instantly, his blood boiled. He roared in his heart that the victory was decided and his name would be remembered forever. However, he did not stop. Instead, he continued to recite the poem after the Stone Arrow. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He did not want Fang Yun to admit defeat.
Fang Yun did not admit defeat. Instead, he looked at Xun Long with a pitiful gaze.
Fang Yun once said that Xun Long would suffer retribution for his actions. However, Xun Long said that he was not afraid.
Li Wenying also said that he would punish Xun Long, but he did not do so in the end.
If one used a battle poem to attack the author of the poem, all living beings would betray him. (To be continued …)
