The fourth round of the competition was to test the power of poems without external help. The higher the realm of the poem, the more experience it had in using it, and the stronger it would be. This was Fang Yun's weakness, and the strength of the old scholars.
He was also not allowed to use the power of the stars.
However, these were the rules of the competition, and they could not be changed because of Fang Yun.
Fortunately, he could use the power of the Literary Heart.
After Grand Secretary Guo announced the start of the competition, Fang Yun immediately used the Poem Couplet. He first wrote the Song of Yi Shui, then the Song of Sending Jing Ke to summon the powerful Poem Couplet Assassin. He then prepared to write the White Horse Poem, the White Horse Hero Poem, and the Wind and Rain Dream Battle.
Due to his high quality of writing, Fang Yun was able to finish his poems in a single breath. But when he was preparing to write the "White Horse Poem", Fang Yun felt an aura as majestic as the sun and as vast as the ocean coming from his left. He turned his head to look.
He saw a piece of paper fluttering in front of an old man, and it quickly burned. Then, a blurry, translucent figure appeared behind the old man. It had a majestic aura, and it made people want to worship it.
In front of the old man, a living person appeared. That person looked exactly like the legendary Jing Ke. His skin was rough, and his eyes were bright. He held a dagger in his hand, and the dagger emitted a glaring cold light.
Unlike ordinary people, Jing Ke's skin was covered with blood-red lines, which emitted a powerful aura.
Fang Yun sensed that the aura of these red lines was very similar to the aura of the Sacred Blood, but it was much weaker.
"Go." The old man ordered softly. Jing Ke ran at a speed faster than the Fourth Ring, making an ear-piercing sound. The shadow of a flood dragon appeared behind him!
The war poet, Jing Ke, brandished his dagger at an incredible speed. When the dagger collided with the wall, it did not produce the sound of ordinary blades colliding. Instead, it produced a loud boom, as if a giant hammer had struck a stone wall.
After one breath. A large number of cracks appeared on the wall, and after three breaths, the wall collapsed.
The Song of the Yi River was a battle poem of a scholar. The basic power of the fourth level was equivalent to that of a Han Lin battle poem. However, because one would gain special power with every increase in level, its actual power was infinitely close to that of a Great Scholar battle poem.
Fang Yun recognized this person. He was Ma Rong of the Two Boundaries Mountain. He had just broken through not long ago and had used the Fourth Level's Song of Yi River to kill ordinary barbarian marquises and demon marquises like chopping vegetables. He had even single-handedly annihilated three thousand elite demon marquises led by three demon marquises!
This person. He had the strength to fight against a marshal of the Ancestral God Clan!
Fang Yun thought to himself that it was fortunate that this person was not from Gyeongo. If he had met this person in Xiang Prefecture, he would have lost without a doubt. At that time, all of his strength had been unable to withstand a single blow from Jing Ke, who was a fourth tier warrior.
"Not bad, Brother Ma!"
Fang Yun immediately looked at the person who spoke. Behind that person, a translucent giant that was a hundred feet tall with a blurry face appeared. Then, a giant bull that was the size of an adult elephant appeared in front of him. The giant bull's entire body was burning with crimson flames. It lowered its head and pointed its two sharp horns forward.
This was also a Fourth Level Elementary Scholar battle poem. However, this poem was not passed down from generation to generation. It was an ordinary battle poem that Luo Ke had created when he was a Elementary Scholar, "Remembering Tian Dan." It described the famous general Tian Dan's Flaming Bull Formation. However, the Elementary Scholar battle poem could not summon the real Flaming Bull Formation. It could only form a Flaming Bull. The original power of this poem was ordinary. However, he had cultivated it to the Fourth Level and obtained the power of the Saint Soul.
When the Fourth Level Flaming Bull crashed into the wall, Fang Yun knew that it would be broken in one strike. This was because the owner of this Flaming Bull, Luo Ke, was a legendary figure in the Ancient Desolate City. He had once used this Fourth Level Flaming Bull to kill a severely injured demon king!
Above the Demon Commander was the Demon Marquis. Above the Demon Marquis was the Demon Marquis. Above the Demon Marquis was the Demon King.
A Demon Commander would never be able to kill a Demon King. Even if it was a severely injured Demon King, a human Scholar could!
As expected, the wall was easily shattered by the Fourth Level Flaming Bull.
Those nearby who saw the Fourth Level Flaming Bull for the first time were inexplicably shocked. Many of them had not even attacked the wall and had almost forgotten that this was a competition.
Grand Secretary Guo coughed softly, which woke many Scholars up. The competition continued.
Fang Yun turned to look at the screen. As expected, Ma Rong and Luo Ke had scored full marks in the fourth round. Moreover, both of them had scored more than 90 points in the first three rounds!
"There are capable people everywhere in the human race. The Ten Scholars are indeed extraordinary!" Fang Yun thought to himself.
Fang Yun was multitasking. Therefore, he could still write battle poems and attack while watching the two of them. Finally, he broke the wall in ten breaths and obtained 93 points.
Other than Ma Rong and Luo Ke, there were four other people whose scores were higher than Fang Yun's. However, they were all one or two points higher than Fang Yun's.
In the fifth round, they had to attack a moving flood dragon. Similar to the wolf head, they had to kill the flood dragon three times. Every time the flood dragon died, its speed would increase.
Different from the fourth round, they could use all kinds of forces other than the battle of words, such as battle poems, military books, medical books, and so on.
Fang Yun had the Plague Disease Classic, the Legalist Code, and the Art of War. Together with his battle poems, they were very powerful. This time, Fang Yun and the three old Scholars tied for 100 points.
In the sixth round, they were competing on the Fleeting Battle Poem. The drill ground had a complicated terrain. There were forests, deserts, hills, flat lands, rivers, and so on.
Fang Yun's strongest Haste Battle Poem was the legendary Haste Battle Poem "Night Attack", but it was only of the second realm. However, there were many people present who had a third realm Haste Battle Poem or a second realm Jinshi Haste Battle Poem.
However, the sixth round was held on a complicated terrain. Although some people's Fleeting Battle Poems were in a high realm, they were either not suitable for certain terrains or were not suitable for long-distance running. Therefore, Fang Yun's ranking was not particularly low. He still obtained 87 points.
However, because of this, Fang Yun fell from first place to second place.
Fang Yun was deeply aware of his shortcomings in Fleeting Battle Poems. He made up his mind to work hard in this area. He would either study the Fleeting Battle Poems he had learned or write a new one.
It was not until then that Fang Yun truly understood why the competition was so detailed. It was not to make things difficult for anyone. It was to let everyone know their shortcomings and find ways to improve.
In the seventh round, it was a test of one's defensive ability. Everyone would be attacked continuously by a Holy Son, the Wolf Demon Marquis. They were not allowed to fight back. The longer they could hold on, the higher their score would be.
There were plenty of people who had a third realm High Scholar's Defensive Battle Poem or a second realm Grand Scholar's Defensive Battle Poem. Their realms were all higher than Fang Yun's, but Fang Yun relied on the first realm Jade Gate Pass to protect himself. Together with the other five old Grand Scholars, he obtained full marks.
As the Jade Gate Pass was a battle poem that had been passed down since ancient times, everyone could learn it. As a result, a third of the Grand Scholars here used this defensive battle poem. This also increased the average score of the seventh round of the Three Valleys Selection by a full ten points. This made the old scholars very happy. They kept praising Fang Yun for his great contributions to the human race.
The eighth round was a little strange. No external force was allowed. One had to rely on one's physical fitness to dodge the attacks of a Wolf Demon General within a radius of 30 meters. The longer one could hold on, the higher their score would be.
The eighth round was a nightmare for the old Scholars. However, it was different for the young people and scholars with alien bloodlines. Fang Yun's body was already very strong. He obtained 100 points with an absolute advantage. Zong Jibing, who was in second place, obtained 95 points.
