After the eighth match, some old scholars sighed softly. No matter how powerful their verbal battles or war poems were, they were old after all, and anything could happen in a battle. What's more, in this year's three-valley battle, the demon world would certainly go all out. The three demon generals, three demon commanders, and three demon marshals were at least the sons of the Great Sage, and might even be a powerful lineup of the entire ancestral god clan.
The Ancestral God clan all have the blood of the Ancestral God in their bodies, and because the monsters have a powerful talent for stimulating the blood of their ancestors, the Ancestral God clan becomes exceptionally powerful.
However, the human race has never given up!
The Ancestral God Clan is naturally powerful. At the beginning, the human race may not be as strong as the Ancestral God Clan, or even as strong as ordinary monsters of the same level. However, through continuous learning and continuous honing, they can eventually gain power that is no less than or even surpasses that of the Ancestral God Clan!
The two old men who possess the Four Realms War Poetry have this ability!
Throughout the human race, there have been some people who were not considered geniuses, but who shined after years of hard work.
Ma Rong and Luo Ke, who possess the Four Realms War Poems, are both over eighty years old. In the eighth match, their scores were all below fifty!
Scholar Guo sighed softly and said, "Those below fifty, please leave the training ground."
Many old gentlemen left.
After eight rounds of competition, only ninety-one people were left on the training ground.
However, Ma Rong quickly walked towards the great scholar He Qionghai in the war hall. No one knew what he said. He Qionghai asked Grand Scholar Guo to come over. Soon, Grand Scholar Guo brought Ma Rong back to the competition team.
The Jinshi candidates present were not ordinary Jinshi candidates. Some had rich experience, while others had unusual family backgrounds. No one questioned this, because everyone knew that Ma Rong’s return was definitely not due to cheating.
Fang Yun sighed in his heart. There was only one possibility for Ma Rong to come back. Ma Rong was willing to burn his life in this three-valley battle, mobilize his blood and loyalty, and participate in this battle with the determination to die.
As an old scholar who has mastered the war poems of the four realms, and an experienced warrior, once Ma Rong inspires his loyalty, his chances of winning can be increased by at least 10%!
Afterwards, Luo Ke also found the two great scholars and returned to the competition team.
The atmosphere in the training ground was somewhat solemn. If it was an ordinary three-valley battle, the two old scholars would never risk their lives to participate, but this year's three-valley battle was advanced, and everyone knew it was very important, so the two old scholars would rather die. They must win the three-valley battle for the human race this year!
"The ninth round is a contest of literary talent." After Grand Scholar Guo finished speaking, a small emerald green bird appeared in the parade ground.
Ming Qi!
One of the most peculiar monsters, it can make strange sounds and ignore human defenses such as war poetry. Only the power of the literary courage can resist it.
Every time Sangu fights against the demon world, he will send out a powerful Mingqi bird!
Before everyone could prepare, the Mingqi bird opened its hard beak and made an extremely harsh sound.
More than fifty Jinshi fainted instantly!
Almost all the scholars who were standing were trembling, with sweat on their foreheads, and were painfully resisting the loud noises.
The eliminated Jinshi sighed softly and talked in a low voice.
"I have participated in many Tri-Valley trials and have never seen anyone score more than 85 points in the ninth game. The highest score in history has never exceeded 90 points."
"Although the old men have a strong literary talent, their realm is not high. Although the genius literary talent has a high realm, he is far inferior to the old scholars in the previous competition, so he ranks very low in the end."
"However, Fang Xusheng is different!"
"Yes, I forgot about him. I heard that his literary talent is extremely powerful!"
Everyone looked at Fang Yun.
Unlike other Jinshi, Fang Yun did not move.
The scholars present fell down one after another. Twenty breaths later, only Fang Yun was still standing, still motionless, as if Mingqi did not exist.
Scholar Guo smiled and said, "We all know that you are a strong writer. You have already reached 100%, try to fight back."
Fang Yun nodded, and suddenly released his literary power. Then an invisible gust of wind exploded in all directions.
"Well… "
The demon bird Mingqi rolled its eyes, fell straight to the ground, and its body became stiff.
"As expected of you, you are Fang Xusheng!"
Everyone admired it sincerely.
"What if it was the demon marquis singing the strange bird?" asked Grand Scholar Guo.
Fang Yun thought about it and said, "I'm not afraid of ordinary demon marquises, but I'm afraid of using demon clan treasures."
Scholar Guo nodded. The human race uses cultural treasures, and the demon race also has treasures. However, the demon race has fewer treasures, but each one is very powerful.
There are regulations for the Three Valleys Battle that the human race can bring three cultural treasures, and the demon race can also bring three treasures, but because the demon race's treasures need to be nourished by qi and blood to function, the demon race generally only uses one treasure.
After the nine matches, Grand Scholar Guo looked at the last thirty people left on the field and said, "Everyone can look at the light screen. The person ranked first will get a spot in the three-valley battle. The other two spots will be chosen between the second to tenth place. Of course, if the scholars after the tenth place are not convinced and think they can defeat the nine people after Fang Yun, they can challenge. Except for the use of Star Power and Blood and Loyalty, everything else can be used."
Fang Yun followed the others to the stands.
Afterwards, those with lower rankings challenged those in the top ten one after another.
There were more than twenty challengers, but only three succeeded in the end.
After the new second to tenth people were ranked, the nine people began to take turns in the literary battle.
Finally, the four strongest people will be decided. These four people will go to Sangu with Fang Yun. However, the two people who are ranked at the bottom of the four are only substitutes to prevent problems from occurring to Fang Yun and the other three during the journey.
The five people ranked, Fang Yun was the first, Ma Rong from Liangjie Mountain was the second, and the third was not Luo Ke, who also mastered the Four Realms War Poem, but Meng Wu, an old Jinshi from the Meng family. Although he did not have the Four Realms War Poem, he had many Three Realms and Two Realms War Poems, and his verbal skills were better. He was more than ten years younger than Luo Ke, which gave him an advantage. Luo Ke ranked fourth, and Zong Jibing from Qing State ranked fifth because of his great increase in strength.
After the selection of Jinshi was completed, Hanlin scholars from all over the country appeared in the parade ground one after another.
The score of the Jinshi candidates on the screen had not been erased yet, which aroused discussions among the newly arrived Hanlin scholars, and many of them took the initiative to greet Fang Yun.
After all the Hanlin scholars arrived, the Hanlin selection began.
Fang Yun was standing in the stands watching. The selection process for Hanlin was slightly different from that for Jinshi. Unlike Jinshi, most of the old Hanlin were children of aristocratic families.
After the Hanlin selection began, Fang Yun secretly exclaimed in his heart that these old Hanlins were too strong. Three of them even mastered the fourth-level Juren war poems, which were as powerful as the war poems of the university scholars! As for the third-level and second-level war poems, everyone knew them, which were dazzling.
Whether it was their control of verbal sparring, their understanding of combat poetry or their grasp of the timing of attack, they all had their merits, and Fang Yun learned as he watched.
The armless Hanlin Peng Zuzhao also participated in the Sangu selection. He lagged behind those old Hanlin in terms of battle poetry, and his total score was not even in the top ten. However, in the final literary challenge, he directly challenged the second-ranked Hanlin and defeated him with the powerful Ancient Sword of Disaster, taking the second place. However, everyone knew that he might be stronger than the Hanlin who ranked first in the total score.
After the selection of Hanlin scholars was completed, Grand Secretary Guo asked the others to leave, leaving only the last five selected candidates, five Jinshi candidates, and five Hanlin candidates. He looked serious, as if he was going to announce something important. (To be continued.)
