Chapter 495 World-Renowned Article
As one scholar after another placed their works into the stone platform, various colors of light radiated outwards.
Moreover, after they placed the artwork on the stone platform, those who were below Xiude were forced to leave in disappointment.
Although they have persevered until now, writing articles is not something that can be achieved simply by persisting; it also requires a certain amount of talent.
"Come on, Brother Ye, how about we go together?"
With a slight smile, Kong Ling slowly spoke, then picked up the sheet of Xuan paper and gently placed it into the testing machine.
Nodding, Ye Ru also placed it into the machine, while Yan Jin and the others snorted and followed closely behind.
As the papers were put into the machines, countless people craned their necks, their eyes fixed on the machines in front of them.
The next moment, beams of light of various colors burst forth.
"boom!"
Yellow light radiated in all directions; the light emanating from Yan Jin, Kong Ling, and the others was all yellow!
This means that every single one of their poems is an astonishing masterpiece!
"These are all astonishing articles; it's simply terrifying."
"Yes, the scholar has written an article that has astonished even the most brilliant minds. The scholars of our human race are becoming more and more impressive."
Many people, upon seeing the dazzling light, whispered among themselves, their words brimming with pride.
However, at this moment, the light on the stone platform where Yan Jin was located became slightly more intense, and judging from its appearance, it was clear that it surpassed Kong Ling's.
"No way, it actually surpassed Kong Ling's article?"
"Yes, this would be a disgrace to let these pedantic scholars be the champions."
"What happened? Kong Ling has reached the second level of calligraphy, yet he can't even compare to a mere first-level calligrapher?"
From the stands, Xie Ming's eyes flashed with surprise as he spoke.
Based on their observations, Kong Ling's talent was also quite remarkable, and he even used the second level of calligraphy when writing the article, which undoubtedly boosted his score significantly.
But now, the other party is actually inferior to someone who is only at the first level of calligraphy.
"No, while writing the article, I discovered that the ink Yan Jin used seemed to be third-grade ink. Although I don't know what kind it is, I know that it is ink made from the blood of the demon race."
After a moment of contemplation, Shi Tianze spoke up.
"If that's really the case, then we know why Yan Jin's light is brighter than Kong Ling's. It all comes down to this."
Nodding, Mr. Kong suddenly realized.
The ink produced by this demon race can, to some extent, enhance the quality of the article.
Although this is just a superficial smokescreen, it is clearly a viable option here.
"If that's the case, does that mean Yan Jin is temporarily in first place in this round?"
The gentleman from the Meng family raised a somber topic, causing everyone on the judges' panel to frown.
If no one surpasses Yan Jin, the Ghost Scholar will be the winner of this competition. No matter how many times the Ghost Scholar wins first place, it will be a great blow to their reputation.
"That's how it is right now. If there's no dark horse this time, it's likely that this scholar named Yan Jin will get first place."
Xie Ming sighed and said.
"Look at Ye Ru, what's wrong with him? Could the machine be broken?"
Suddenly, Xie Ming noticed that there was no light emanating from where Ye Ru was, which startled Xie Ming. He then said...
"These machines have all undergone rigorous screening; it is absolutely impossible for them to break down or malfunction. It's impossible."
Upon hearing Xie Ming's words, Mr. Kong shook his head, looking incredulous. All these machines were brought from their Kong family, and they had been inspected by specialists. If they were broken, they could have been detected before they were delivered here.
Meanwhile, countless people in the audience also looked puzzled.
"Could it be that the article was so mediocre that it didn't elicit any response from the machine?"
Zhang Dong's lips twitched slightly as a bad thought popped into his head. He then jokingly said to Zhang Zhi, "..."
"Impossible. Ye Ru's writing is probably beyond our reach, even for you and me, let alone in this competition. Given his characteristics, he won't fight a battle he can't win."
Zhang Zhi shook his head and said.
"Maybe they haven't realized it yet."
Star Ape King said calmly from the side.
This scene naturally caught the attention of others, who then looked at Ye Ru with puzzled expressions, seemingly confused.
Feeling the gazes directed at him, Ye Ru could only shrug helplessly. He then looked at the machine where he had placed the article. There, his machine did not produce any fluctuations, not even a ray of light.
"Hmph, it seems even the heavens aren't on your side. This round's champion is mine."
Seeing Ye Ru's puzzled expression, Yan Jin sneered and said with sarcasm.
"Hmph, it's only the first round. Even if you reach the end, you probably won't win this literary competition."
Seeing Yan Jin so proud, Kong Ling couldn't help but speak up.
"That's still better than some people who don't even win a single championship, right?"
With a mocking smile, Yan Jin couldn't help but retort.
'you!'
These words made Kong Ling's face flush red instantly, and then she pointed at Yan Jin and said again:
"Just wait and see!"
"If you lose, you lose. Be brave enough to admit reality. Your writing is mediocre, so it seems that's all you can do."
Seeing that Kong Ling remained silent, Yan Jin laughed loudly, while Ye Ru merely glanced at the former before looking towards the competition stage.
The next moment, the racing machine began to move violently, as if the energy inside was about to burst out of the machine. This violent vibration caused the entire ground to shake, like an earthquake.
"How is this going?"
This scene left Yan Jin and the others present completely bewildered, and a hint of panic appeared on their faces.
"alert!"
Xie Ming felt the earthquake on his platform and was somewhat shocked. He then said in a deep voice.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew that nothing ordinary could possibly happen.
However, just when everyone thought it was a demon attack, a loud explosion suddenly occurred on the stone platform where Ye Ru was located. Immediately afterwards, a green light, like fireworks, burst forth into the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
The light shone in the sky, like a dream, reflecting in everyone's eyes and causing their expressions to freeze instantly. The cold smiles on the faces of Yan Jin and the other ghost scholars gradually turned into horror, and incredulous voices slowly escaped their lips:
"This...this is a world-renowned article?"
