The proposal to block each party was made one at a time, and everyone held their breath, listening to how Fang Yun would decide on the proposal to block.
Fang Yun thought for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he said: "My proposal is to limit the distance between the starting positions of both parties to no more than two meters."
Xun Xu's face darkened, but he was not too surprised.
There is a difference between a literary duel and a literary war. A literary duel is to determine who is superior and who is inferior, while a literary war is to decide life and death.
A literary battle is a battle of life and death. All poems can be used to win, and there is no proposal to ban them. However, each person can only write one poem in the literary battle, and one poem will determine the winner, so as to reduce casualties.
"That's right." Yan Yukong said, but he looked thoughtful.
"Since Fang Yun can only choose to write the Yishui Song quickly, the distance between the two sides is crucial. If they are too close, it will violate the rules of the Holy Academy. Two meters is just right. Whether Xun Xu writes quickly or recites fluently, it will take at least four breaths of time. The smoke assassin has a great chance to get close in advance."
Xun Xu said: "I agree."
Then, the two of them bowed to each other and spoke at the same time.
"Jingguo Juren Fang Yun is participating in the literary competition, please ask the Holy Temple for help."
"Xun Xu, a candidate from Qing State, is participating in the literary competition and asks the Holy Temple for help."
After the two of them finished talking, a huge transparent light shield covered them, emitting a faint light and isolating them from everyone else.
"please!"
"please!"
After they finished talking, the two men backed away from each other, and finally stopped at a distance of two meters from each other. They each put down their board clothes and picked up their pens to dip them in ink.
The two looked at each other, one calm, the other cool.
There was complete silence all around; even the person who was cursing shut up and looked quietly at the two people in the light shield.
Suddenly, a huge transparent light shield flashed gently.
Fang Yun picked up his pen and wrote, mobilizing the power of his superior pen to write "Yishui Song". Xun Xu's prohibition was "not to write your own war poems with literary mind", and this "Yishui Song" was created by Jing Ke, and he could mobilize the power of literary mind when writing it.
A moment later, an assassin made of black smoke appeared beside Fang Yun.
Thousands of people exclaimed.
"A poem is completed in one breath!"
"Superior literary mind!"
"The scholar has passed through three mountains and three pavilions!"
A bright smile appeared on Li Wenying's face.
Those who followed Fang into the Comet Corridor had pride in their smiles.
The moment Fang Yun picked up the pen, Xun Xu quickly stepped back, reciting "Canglang Xing" clearly.
Once the poem "Cang Lang Xing" is completed, it will inevitably form a huge wave, which can not only smash the smoke assassin, but also easily severely injure Fang Yun, unless Fang Yun shouts surrender halfway.
However, it takes at least four breaths to recite "Cang Lang Xing".
An unnoticed star force descended from the sky and landed on the Smoke Assassin.
Everyone's Smoke Assassin in Shengyuan Continent is made of black fog. Even the dagger is made of black fog, but this Smoke Assassin's dagger has a layer of light silver light, which is like fish scales.
The silver light was obviously very faint, but it made this originally ordinary smoke assassin have a heroic spirit of killing all the kings in the world, which was perfectly consistent with the intention of Jing Ke, the original author of "Yi Shui Song" when he assassinated Qin Shi Huang.
Even those who already knew that Fang Yun could compose poems in one breath were stunned, because everyone who saw the silver light felt a chill all over their body. Even the university scholars present felt cold.
The most terrifying thing is that under the effect of the silver light, the running speed of the smoke assassin is more than three times that of an ordinary smoke assassin!
Fang Yun only felt a mysterious force descending from the sky, but he didn't know where it came from. Then he inexplicably thought of a sentence in "Strategies of the Warring States".
"When Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao, it was like a comet hitting the moon."
Fang Yun suddenly realized that the silver light on the dagger, like fish scales, was the light of the Yuchang Sword. Zhuan Zhu, one of the four great assassins of the Warring States Period, used the famous Yuchang Sword to assassinate King Liao of Wu. When he killed King Liao of Wu, a comet was heading straight for the moon.
The star power that descended upon the Smoke Assassin at this moment must be the power of a comet.
The King of Stars, who can mobilize star power.
Xun Xu originally wanted to recite "Cang Lang Xing" despite the danger of being attacked by the smoke assassin, severely injure Fang Yun, or force Fang Yun to admit defeat in advance. However, when Fang Yun's smoke assassin approached, Xun Xu felt an unprecedented despair in his heart. He seemed to be standing on the brink of death. As long as the smoke assassin stabbed with that dagger, he would not be able to escape even if he was the king of a country.
Xun Xu was frightened.
Before the Smoke Assassin's Yuchang Sword could reach him, Xun Xu's voice of "Canglang Xing" suddenly stopped, and he was seen holding his head, bending over, and rolling on the ground, while shouting loudly: "Give up! I give up."
An invisible force blocked the smoke assassin and saved Xun Xu.
Xun Xu fell to the ground, looking at the smoke assassin with horror, and then felt incredible. He couldn't imagine that he was frightened like this by a scholar's war poem, and he developed a deep fear of this assassin.
Xun Xu felt that no scholar in the world could escape the attack of this smoke assassin. Even a Jinshi could die under the assassin's dagger if he did not prepare for the verbal battle in advance.
The smoke assassin dissipated and Fang Yun bowed to Xun Xu.
"Thank you."
The surroundings were extremely quiet. Those who had scolded Fang Yun before now kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to say a bad word about Fang Yun, for fear that the smoke assassin would suddenly appear.
"Then... is it the legendary Yuchang Sword?" Li Wenying couldn't help but ask.
Although the Yuchang sword is a dagger, it can barely be classified as a sword. It is customary for scholars to wear swords and for warriors to wear knives, as can be seen from the fact that the uniforms of students include swords.
Although verbal sparring is the result of concentrated talent, the sword can be sharpened with dragon horns and dragon bones, and can also take away the murderous intent of the ancient sword.
The Yuchang Sword is a famous sword in ancient times, an ancient sword that war-loving scholars dream of. Even if one cannot take away the murderous intent, being able to comprehend a little bit of it is enough to make the verbal sparring stronger.
"I don't know either." Fang Yun said.
"Let's not talk about why this assassin is so strong. What's the matter with your top-grade writing?" The Grand Secretary of the Kong family stared at Fang Yun with wide eyes, and the surprise in his eyes lingered for a long time.
Sheng Zhoumu said loudly: "The second literary duel will begin soon. No one is allowed to interrupt."
Fang Yun showed a look of sudden realization. He had slept for so long to conserve his energy. The Xun family knew that their method of delaying had failed, so they simply took advantage of the situation and arranged the ten literary duels extremely closely. No matter how powerful a genius was, his talent and energy would have problems after a series of battles. Once a flaw was revealed, they could launch the final blow.
Fang Yun smiled indifferently and looked at the second scholar who was walking over.
This scholar was extremely tall, at least eight feet tall, no less tall than an ordinary Bull Barbarian General. His muscles were extremely developed, and his upper arms were even several times thicker than Fang Yun's thighs, as if he had the strength to tear apart tigers and leopards.
Fang Yun thought to himself that he was a successful candidate in the imperial examination. There was also one by the side of Princess Zhao Hongzhuang of Jingguo.
Jinshi belong to the middle class of the human race and are the pillars of a country. They can occasionally protect important figures, but they can never be full-time attendants or guards. The private soldiers of the monsters have many restrictions, so some large families train some particularly strong literati.
The Juren warrior has undergone three baptisms of talent: Tongsheng, Xiucai and Juren. He is physically stronger and can talk eloquently like normal Juren. He also has extremely strong reaction ability and close combat ability, making him the most suitable person to protect people.
Fang Yun knew immediately that if he proposed to keep the distance between the two of them no more than two meters, he would be knocked unconscious by the strong man's punch as soon as he finished the poem. (To be continued...)
