There was a lot of commotion at the tables of various countries, but the monarchs of each country did not speak a word.
Sitting at Jingguo's table, there was a woman with a veil on her face who did not speak a word from beginning to end.
As for whether the doctors should go to Ning'an, even if the Left Prime Minister and his party were unwilling, they could not object at this moment. Otherwise, they would cause internal strife in front of the scholars of the Ten Countries and force other forces to take action.
Yin Qi, the fifth Jinshi in the literary examination, left the scene, and then an old man carrying a guqin on his back walked towards Fang Yun with a leisurely pace.
Fang Yun exchanged a few pleasantries with him and then began a verbal battle.
This third-level master of the art of zither was very powerful, but Fang Yun was even stronger and he took only half a quarter of an hour to defeat him.
The seventh one is a military strategist, and also a person with a semi-saint status.
At the beginning, Fang Yun had no chance to fight with him. After the opponent used the power of the star, Fang Yun first weakened his star power by killing him with a borrowed knife, and then faked his death by using the self-torture trick. At the moment when the opponent lost his vigilance, he pierced his chest and abdomen with the True Dragon Ancient Sword, but avoided the vital parts and won the victory.
This seventh Jinshi became the person who suffered the most in the literary war.
After winning seven games in a row, Fang Yun's eyes showed a slight tiredness. He stood on the grass in the valley, looking in the direction of Qing Kingdom's seats.
There were three other people sitting in Wenzhan's seat.
One is Qu Hange, one of the ten old Jinshi scholars today. He is undoubtedly the strongest among the ten. Only after Fang Yun defeats the first nine will it be his turn to appear.
The next is the ninth person, Zong Jibing, who not only possesses the sub-saint status, but also has the power of ice in his body. He is a rare mixed-race scholar.
The eighth person, Qiu Chongshan, was walking towards Fang Yun.
This man was extremely tall, two heads taller than Fang Yun, but extremely thin, and looked like a skeleton supporting a white Jinshi robe.
This person walked unsteadily and seemed to have some chronic illness. After just a few steps, his breathing became heavy.
Qiu Chongshan had white hair, a gloomy face, and a blank look in his eyes, as if his mind was not on this literary battle.
Fang Yun sighed softly. Qiu Chongshan was a strong and powerful man back then. From the way he used the Caiqi ancient spear, it could be seen that he was a heroic soldier. But since the whole team was wiped out and he was the only one who escaped, he became like this.
He was unfortunate, but also lucky. His sharp tongue grew and became the Jiaoya Ancient Spear. With the Jiaoya Ancient Spear, he killed many monsters and avenged his former comrades.
Although Qiu Chongshan has been retired at home, every month when he takes a break, he will lead people to the place where there are many monsters to carry out a sweep.
He once said that killing monsters and barbarians to avenge his comrades was the only motivation that kept him alive.
As long as he has breath, he will not give up killing demons and barbarians.
"Greetings, Saint Fang Xu." Qiu Chongshan's voice sounded like air leaking from his lips and teeth, and there was noise in his words.
"Greetings, General Qiu." Fang Yun had great respect for these soldiers who insisted on killing monsters and barbarians. If they had not used their bodies and lifespans to block the monsters and barbarians, the Shengyuan Continent would have been razed to the ground by the monsters and barbarians long ago.
Qiu Chongshan was skinny, with a very bad complexion, sunken eye sockets, and even dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he did not sleep well last night.
Fang Yun knew that he suffered from the disease of "eyes that cannot close". In the words of the ancient Chinese nation, it means neurasthenia and he could not fall asleep all night.
Ordinary blindness can be cured, but Qiu Chongshan was traumatized by the death of his comrades. Lian Wendan was also suffering from mental and physical illnesses that were difficult to cure, so the blindness was very serious. He didn't even get enough sleep for a quarter of an hour a day.
A young and talented scholar would not get sick even if he slept for half an hour every day, but for an old man, this degree of difficulty in closing the eyes would be extremely fatal.
Fang Yun looked at Qiu Chongshan and felt that he looked older and older.
"Ahem..." Qiu Chongshan coughed twice before saying, "Fang Xusheng, I don't like to fight with people, but I dare not disobey the order of Lord Qing. I heard that you have a sword called 'True Dragon Ancient Sword', which is assisted by the holy blood of the ancestor dragon. It has infinite power and can overwhelm all the swords of Jinshi. Today, why don't you and I just fight with swords, and whoever's sword is damaged first will lose, how do you think?"
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "General Qiu's suggestion is very good, but... I am too young, and I am not good at verbal battles. I must make up for it with hidden poems, and I can't just fight with verbal battles."
"You can use the Hidden Edge Poem, but I will also do my best." Qiu Chongshan said and stared at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun only felt a flash of swords and shadows before his eyes, and endless murderous intent was coming like a typhoon, and he might be beheaded at any time.
Fang Yun had a bad feeling in his heart.
Verbal sparring had appeared as early as the Qin Dynasty, but at that time it was only in its rudiments. Even famous people were unable to master the rules of condensing it. Only a few geniuses could create it by chance, and its power was extremely unstable.
At that time, it was more of a concentration of talent and literary power than a verbal sparring.
Later, famous people worked hard and finally created a tongue-splitting technique that every Jinshi could unite into. From then on, a new era for the human race began.
There is no exact realm for verbal sparring, and speed is generally used as the standard of strength. However, verbal sparring often changes due to constant sharpening.
The most basic change is the sword sound of talent. For example, Fang Yun’s sword sound of talent is dragon scales, which is equivalent to putting on a layer of powerful protective scale armor for the True Dragon Ancient Sword.
Next is the "real name", for example, Li Wenying's is the "Lixue Ancient Sword", the great scholar Ye Hongyu's is the "Tinglei Ancient Sword", Zhou Qingtian's is the "Four Extremes Ancient Sword", and there is also Qiu Chongshan's "Jiaoya Ancient Spear".
Although Fang Yun's sword is called "True Dragon Ancient Sword", it is not the real ancient sword with its true name but only the sound of sword.
The material of the True Dragon Ancient Sword is unparalleled in the world, but it has been sharpened too little, so it is impossible for it to form its true name so quickly.
Once a real name is formed, the power of verbal sparring will be greatly enhanced.
The original meaning of the true name refers to obtaining real and true power.
When Li Wenying wielded the Lixue Ancient Sword with all his strength, a river of blood filled the sky. Countless evil spirits in the blood river turned into the power of the Lixue Ancient Sword.
The Tinglei Ancient Sword directly draws upon the power of thunder from heaven and earth. Whenever the sword strikes, thunder will be generated. Its power is unimaginable.
Zhou Qingtian's Four-Pole Ancient Sword is extremely unique. It takes the four poles of east, west, south and north, allowing his True Dragon Ancient Sword to teleport infinitely between the four points, becoming the nightmare of monsters and barbarians.
Although the Jiaoya Ancient Spear has the true power, no one has seen it with their own eyes so far. The only people who have seen the true power of the Jiaoya Ancient Spear are Qiu Chongshan himself and Yao Man, but they are all dead.
Qiu Chongshan never leaves anyone alive.
Neither the intelligence from Jing Kingdom nor the information from various aristocratic families knew the specific power of the Jiaoya Ancient Spear. Because the name was said by Qiu Chongshan himself, everyone speculated that the true power of the Jiaoya Ancient Spear might be related to the Horn of the Jiao Saint.
However, from what Qiu Chongshan said, his real name ancient sword is not only powerful, but also special, which makes Fang Yun difficult to decide. (To be continued...)
