Chapter 217 One Move
Although it was night, the observatory was still brightly lit and bustling with activity.
At this moment, Xue Hanyi and Xiahou Wu were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand. Xue Hanyi held a brush and continuously wrote poems, which transformed into a protective shield in front of him. Xiahou Wu's battle poems were extremely sharp, which made Xue Hanyi's face turn extremely ugly.
He also knew that although he and the other scholar were of equal rank, he was far inferior in both understanding of the classics and speed of writing poetry.
boom!
An assassin named Jing Ke rushed towards Xue Hanyi, striking her protective armor directly and causing her to stagger back dozens of steps.
However, before Xue Hanyi could make another move, Xiahou Wu unleashed another attack. The tip of his pen touched the paper, and the poem transformed into a long sword, which carried a chilling aura as it charged straight forward.
"Shameless!"
"A despicable person, taking advantage of others' misfortune, unworthy of being a scholar!"
The longsword shot towards Xue Hanyi with a sharp and domineering speed, causing many people to shout angrily. This blatant provocation had indeed ignited their fury.
Xue Hanyi was even more surprised to see this scene. She gritted her teeth and prepared to withstand the attack. Suddenly, a paperweight shot out from behind her. It swelled up in the wind and transformed into a huge wall of light. A white tiger appeared in the wall of light and roared angrily. The roar shook the heavens and the earth and shattered the long sword with the poem into pieces.
This scene startled Xue Hanyi, then he turned his head and saw a familiar face that made him exclaim with joy:
"Chairman Ye!"
"Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Although Xiahou Yuanrang spent most of his life in the military, he never forgot to study. He often personally welcomed his teachers and humbly sought their guidance. He was frugal and distributed all his rewards to his soldiers. He never owned any property and died with no wealth left. He was a model military general and was respected by all. But when did you produce someone who, despite being well-read, was so arrogant and domineering?"
Ye Ru waved his hand, and the paperweight returned to the former's hand. He looked at Xiahou Wu and said.
Hearing this, Xiahou Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said:
“You are probably not qualified to comment on my ancestor Xiahou. Moreover, you are just a student. Go down. I want to have a literary contest with that Ye scholar.”
"I am Ye Ru."
Ye Ru said calmly.
"Ye Ru's name is very famous, but I didn't expect that meeting him would be so disappointing. He's just a novice scholar. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? You've disappointed me greatly. So, do you dare to accept the challenge? Don't let me underestimate you."
Xiahou Wu curled his lip and said sarcastically.
"Hmm... let's begin then. A battle of wits, right? I'll take it."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then shrugged indifferently.
"What an arrogant brat! Today I'll show you your true colors!"
Xiahou Wu's gaze sharpened, and the Book Palace within his body suddenly began to vibrate. Immediately afterward, two profound insights appeared, followed by a mocking laugh:
"Hmph, this is profound wisdom in simple words, it's what I've gained from understanding the offense and defense of military strategists. Do you have it?"
"Profound meaning in a few words? Two pieces?"
Seeing this, many people became agitated, and even the two teachers from Yuzhang Academy sneered disdainfully.
"A mere student is fortunate enough to comprehend even a single profound saying, but even if he does, he will still lose."
One of the men scoffed.
"Between a student who has completed the preliminary examination and a scholar who has passed the county-level examination, it is obvious who is superior. Yingtian Academy is indeed declining more and more, and each generation is worse than the last."
The other gentleman nodded, his smile full of disdain.
The students looked at each other in bewilderment. They understood the power of profound meaning in concise words; a single word could be a poem, and the deeper one's understanding, the greater the power it unleashed.
The military strategy of offense and defense ranks high in terms of strength and profound principles. Offense can kill the enemy, and defense can defend against the enemy. One offense and one defense can be considered the ultimate principle of the world.
"This is a bit troublesome. I wonder how much of the profound meaning Ye has grasped. If he hasn't grasped a single word, then we're doomed."
A look of worry crossed Xue Hanyi's face. He didn't know Ye Ru very well and had no idea how much profound meaning Ye Ru had grasped.
Because of their intellectual capacity and talent, ordinary students who can comprehend even a few of these insights are already considered to have surpassed the average person.
"Hopefully Ye Ru has the ability to fight against him."
Yu Mengyang frowned as she spoke.
"It's interesting. It's incredible that someone from a poor family could grow up to this level."
Kong Zhixuan stood in a secluded corner, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Wentai, and muttered to himself.
"You can still admit defeat now, or don't blame me for crushing your courage with profound words."
Xiahou Wu said with a mocking expression.
"Small words with profound meaning... You dare to utter such arrogant words with only two coins."
Ye Ru was taken aback, then laughed. His words made many people from Yuzhang Academy burst into laughter. However, before he could finish speaking, more than twenty golden lights flashed, leaving everyone's faces stunned.
Twenty-four profound words, gleaming brightly, surrounded Ye Ru, and a sacred power quietly emanated from them.
"One...two...three...there are actually twenty-four profound insights?"
Upon witnessing this scene, some students from Yuzhang Academy swallowed hard, their faces filled with shock.
Even Xiahou Wu was stunned, his eyes reflecting the golden light, staring at Ye Ru with disbelief.
The two teachers from Yuzhang Academy clenched their fists instantly, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.
"How is that possible? Twenty-something? That's something even a successful candidate in the imperial examinations couldn't do, how could a mere student like him possibly do it!"
After a moment, Xiahou Wu came to his senses and immediately cried out.
"Are you the one who wants to crush my courage?"
Ye Ru strode toward Xiahou Wu, the twenty-four profound and subtle sacred powers of the Dao causing the latter's words of offense and defense to pale in comparison, and his courage to write books also began to tremble.
"This can't be! This can't be! It must be fake!"
Xiahou Wu roared, then shouted sharply:
"It must be fake. I'll expose your disguise right now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two profound words were launched at Ye Ru. For a moment, everyone felt the air become silent.
"So easily defeated, yet they dare to boast and act arrogantly at my Yingtian Academy."
Ye Ru snorted coldly, and with a slight tap of his finger, the twenty-four profound words spun around him before being launched one by one, colliding fiercely with the words "attack" and "defense".
boom!
The burst of immense talent caused Xiahou Wu to cough up a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing into the crowd.
Suddenly, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
With a single move, a scholar was rendered incapable of fighting, and even his courage was severely damaged.
Looking at Xiahou Wu lying lifeless on the ground, Ye Ru turned to Cao Feng, a smile appearing on his face. He slowly extended his hand, then slightly beckoned, and said calmly:
"Would you like to try it?"
