The fourth match was actually a competition of the power of poetry without any external help. The higher the level of poetry and the more experience in using it, the stronger the power would naturally be. This was precisely Fang Yun's shortcoming and the strength of those elderly Jinshi.
You are not allowed to use the power of stars.
But this is the rule of the game and it cannot be changed because of one's luck.
Fortunately, Bunshin power is available.
After Academician Guo announced the start, Fang Yun immediately used linked poems, first writing "Song of the Yi River", then "Farewell to Jing Ke", summoning out a powerful linked poem assassin, and then preparing to write "The White Horse" and "The White Horse Hero", and then "Dream of Battle in Wind and Rain".
Thanks to his excellent literary talent of writing quickly, Fang Yun could finish a poem in one breath. But when he was preparing to write "The White Horse", Fang Yun felt a breath as majestic as the sun and as vast as the ocean coming from the left, so he turned his head to look.
I saw a piece of paper flying in front of an old man and quickly burning up. Then, a blurry, translucent statue of a hundred feet tall appeared behind the old man. The aura was distant and majestic, which 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, with rough skin, bright eyes, and a dagger in his hand that emitted a dazzling cold light.
What was different from ordinary people was that this Jing Ke had blood-colored lines on his skin, and those blood-colored lines exuded a powerful aura.
Fang Yun sensed that the aura of these red lines was extremely similar to that of the holy blood, but was much weaker in power.
"Go." The old man gave the order softly, and saw Zhan Shi Jing Ke running at a speed faster than Si Ming, making a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and the shadow of a dragon actually appeared behind him!
Jing Ke swung the dagger at an incredible speed, and when the dagger hit the wall, it made not the ordinary sound of blades colliding, but a huge roar, like a huge hammer hitting a stone wall.
After one breath, a large number of cracks appeared on the wall, and after three breaths, the wall collapsed with a loud bang.
"Song of Yishui" is a scholar's war poem. The basic power of the four realms is equivalent to the Hanlin war poem, but because special powers are gained with each advancement of a realm, its actual power is infinitely close to the university scholar's war poem.
Fang Yun recognized this man, Ma Rong from Liangjie Mountain, who had just made a breakthrough not long ago. He used the "Yi Shui Song" of the fourth realm to kill ordinary barbarian lords and demon lords like cutting melons and vegetables, and even single-handedly wiped out an army of 3,000 elite barbarians and demon lords led by the three-headed holy son demon lord!
This person has the strength to fight against the leader of the Ancestral God Clan!
Fang Yun thought to himself that it was fortunate that this person was not from Qing. If he had met this person during the battle of Xiangzhou, he would have been defeated without a doubt. At that time, all his strength was no match for Jing Ke, the war poem of the four realms.
"Brother Ma is good!"
Fang Yun immediately looked at the person who spoke, and saw a translucent giant who was a hundred feet tall but had a blurred face appearing behind that person. Then a giant bull as big as an adult elephant appeared in front of him. The bull was burning with red flames all over its body. It lowered its head, and its two sharp horns faced forward.
This is also a scholar's war poem of the fourth realm. However, this poem is not handed down, but an ordinary war poem "Remembering Tian Dan" written by Luo Ke when he was a scholar, describing the fire bull formation of the famous general Tian Dan. However, the scholar's war poem cannot summon a real fire bull battle formation, it can only form a fire bull. This poem was originally of average power. But he practiced it to the fourth realm and obtained the power of the holy soul.
When the Four Realms War Poem Bull crashed into the wall, Fang Yun knew that it would break with one strike, because the owner of this War Poem Bull, Luo Ke, was a legendary figure in the ancient land of the deserted city. He had once killed a seriously injured demon king with this Four Realms War Poem Bull!
Jinshi is equivalent to a demon general, above the demon general is the demon marquis, and above the demon marquis is the demon king.
The demon commander could never kill the demon king, even if he was seriously injured, but the human race's Jinshi could!
Sure enough, the wall was easily smashed into pieces by the Four Realms War Poetry Fire Bull.
Everyone nearby who saw the Four Realms War Poem for the first time was inexplicably shocked. Many of them had not even attacked the wall and almost forgot that this was a competition.
Scholar Guo coughed lightly, waking up many Jinshi candidates, and the competition was able to continue.
Fang Yun turned his head and looked at the light screen. Sure enough, Ma Rong and Luo Ke scored full marks in the fourth game, and their scores in the first three games were all above 90 points!
"There are talented people everywhere in the human race, and the ten Jinshi elders are indeed extraordinary!" Fang Yun thought to himself.
Fang Yun was multitasking, so while watching the two people he was still able to write war poems and launch attacks, and finally broke through the wall in ten breaths, earning ninety-three points.
In addition to Ma Rong and Luo Ke, there are four other people whose scores are higher than Fang Yun, but they are all one or two points higher than Fang Yun, with little difference.
The fifth game is to attack a moving dragon. Similar to the wolf head, the dragon must be killed three times. The speed of the dragon will increase each time it dies.
Unlike the fourth round, this round allows you to use various powers besides verbal sparring, such as war poems, military books, medical books, etc.
Fang Yun had the Plague and Disease Book, the Legalist Code, and the Art of War, which, when combined with battle poetry, were extremely powerful. This time, Fang Yun tied with the three old Jinshi for 100 points.
The sixth round was a competition of marching war poems, and the training ground became a complex terrain with mountains, forests, deserts, hills, plains, rivers, etc.
Fang Yun's strongest speedy war poem is the Juren's handed-down war poem "Night Attack", but it is only at the second level. However, there are many people present who have the third level Juren's speedy war poem or the second level Jinshi's speedy war poem.
However, this sixth game was held on complex terrain. Although some people's speed fighting poetry levels were high, they were either not suitable for certain terrains or not suitable for long-distance running. Therefore, Fang Yun's ranking was not particularly low and he still scored 87 points.
However, Fang Yun also fell from first place to second place because of this.
Fang Yun was deeply aware of his shortcomings in the area of marching war poems and was determined to work hard in this area, either to study the marching war poems he had learned in depth or to write a new marching war poem.
It was not until this time that Fang Yun truly understood that the reason why this competition was divided into such detailed categories was not to make things difficult for anyone, but to let everyone know their own shortcomings and find ways to improve.
The seventh round tests the defensive ability. Everyone will be subjected to continuous attacks from a Holy Wolf Demon. They are not allowed to fight back. The longer you can hold out, the higher the score you will get.
There are many people who have the third-level Juren defensive war poems or the second-level Jinshi defensive war poems, and their realms are higher than Fang Yun, but Fang Yun relies on the first-level "Yumen Pass" to protect himself firmly, and together with the five old Jinshi, he won a full score of 100.
Since "Yumen Pass" is a war poem handed down from generation to generation and anyone can learn it, one-third of the Jinshi candidates here used this defensive war poem. The average score of the seventh round of the Sangu selection was also increased by a full ten points compared to the previous one, which made those old scholars very happy and they kept praising Fang Yun for his great contributions to the human race.
The eighth game is rather odd. You are not allowed to use any external force. You can only rely on your own physical fitness to dodge the attacks of a wolf demon within a radius of ten feet. The longer you can hold on, the higher the score you will get.
This eighth game was a nightmare for the elderly scholars, but it was different for the young people and scholars with alien blood. Fang Yun was physically very strong and won 100 points with an absolute advantage, while Zong Jibing, who ranked second, got 95 points.
With a perfect score in the eighth game, Fang Yun regained the top spot in the list of Jinshi. (To be continued…)
