Chapter 140 Deceiving the Heavens!
Chen Tianjian and Wen Xiang looked on in disbelief; such an incredible thing actually existed.
"Ye Ru is not capable of multitasking, how could he possibly do something like this!"
After a long pause, Chen Tianjian swallowed hard and exclaimed in surprise.
"I don't know either. Ye Ru has many secrets."
Wen Xiang sighed, suddenly feeling that Ye Ru had become somewhat mysterious.
"To write backwards with one hand and forwards with the other, Brother Ye is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses skills that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. I am completely impressed today."
Kong Hexuan also looked at Ye Ru, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.
"We will never underestimate any student from a poor family. Perhaps one day, another outstanding person like Ye Ru will emerge from a humble background."
Meng Qingyang nodded, his mindset becoming more composed, and said with equal shock.
"I have no desire for beauty. Rather than envying Brother Ye, wouldn't it be better to study hard and strive to make Brother Ye my role model?"
Xiao Ke wrote intently, and said calmly.
"What Brother Ke said is timely. Everyone has their own cause and effect. Ye Ru has his own cause, so he must bear the consequences."
Zhang Guo muttered to himself as he continued writing.
The match between Ye Ru and Xiao Wenqi continued, and even the latter was still feeling the shock.
With a gloomy face, Xiao Wenqi continued writing. The two were only one word apart, but that one word difference caused a stalemate that lasted for several minutes.
"Quickly..."
Countless people held their breath and said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Ye Ru wrote with both hands at the same time. His slender fingers seemed to dance, carrying a kind of beauty and charm, which made many young ladies turn their heads.
boom!
At that moment, Ye Ru uttered a single word, and the table was shattered by the force of the blow. This scene made the hearts of all the scholars in the Yanhuang Kingdom leap into their throats.
"what happened!"
Kong Hexuan's hand trembled from the sound, and he hurriedly looked towards Ye Ru.
The stone table on Ye Ru's side had been completely shattered, and smoke drifted around, obscuring Ye Ru's figure. No one knew whether Ye Ru had finished writing or not.
"Haha, even if you have the unique talent of the God of Literature, Heaven will not bless you. In the future, history will record that I, Xiao Wenqi, came from the State of Jin, but I have won the title of the top student in the Yanhuang Kingdom!"
"Your Yanhuang Kingdom will bear this shame for eternity!"
Upon seeing Ye Ru's stone platform break, Xiao Wenqi suddenly stopped writing and then loudly mocked, causing many scholars to blush.
"Shameless people of Jin!"
"If you go to a secluded place, I will surely kill you!"
Many people cursed angrily, but most were filled with disappointment, and sighs and curses rose and fell in waves.
A look of sorrow also appeared on the faces of Chen Tianjian, Wen Xiang, and the others:
"Well, it seems Ye Ru is going to be eliminated..."
"Is there really no other way?"
Chen Tianjian asked anxiously.
This would be fatal to the reputation of the Yanhuang Kingdom.
"Look at the current situation, is there any other way?"
Wen Xiang's face was gloomy, and he looked at Xiao Wenqi with a chill in his eyes.
"I've already won first place in the second round of this national competition for children, a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Xiao Wenqi looked around and laughed sarcastically. He then raised his pen and held it in the air. However, just as he was about to continue, a voice that was not to be outdone rose up in the sky, causing his hand to freeze instantly.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
The faint voice startled everyone, including Kong Hexuan and Chen Tianjian, who all looked in the direction from which the voice came.
As everyone's gaze fell upon the source, it was none other than where Ye Ru was located.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a figure appeared faintly in the distance. In front of him, a thick stack of Xuan paper floated in the air, radiating an aura of talent.
"Damn it, wasn't the stone table broken?!"
When Xiao Wenqi saw this scene, his face turned ashen again. He then hurriedly began to write, but by the time he finished, the two were already quite far apart.
"You won? How did you win?"
"Did we win? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
Some scholars looked at each other in bewilderment, and the audience fell silent for a moment. But then, a deafening roar of cheers and screams, like thunder, suddenly erupted.
Everyone looked at Ye Ru with flushed faces, their excitement overflowing.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Ru grasped the stack of Xuan paper in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xiao Wenqi, clenched his fist, extended his thumb, spun it down, and then pointed sharply:
"Evil cannot prevail over good. I am good at cultivating my righteous spirit. You Jin people, apart from playing power games and using tricks, are ranked last among the ten states when it comes to studying."
At this moment, Ye Ru truly began his counterattack against this Jin man.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing Ye Ru's words, Xiao Wenqi suddenly snapped the pen in half and then slammed it to the ground.
"The Thirty-Six Stratagems: Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea? Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The winner shows weakness. Ye Anshou is not only accomplished in scholarship, but he can also apply military strategy to the competition. He deliberately creates the illusion of defeat to make Xiao Wenqi relax, and then launches a counterattack to kill Xiao Wenqi."
Chen Tianjian immediately understood and then burst into laughter.
The stone table was likely broken intentionally by Ye Ru to mislead Xiao Wenqi.
"It was a really good bet..."
Chen Tianjian's thoughts were exactly the same as Ye Ru's, because even if Ye Ru used both hands and the power of the Book Heart, he was still one character different from Xiao Wenqi. If he couldn't go all out, he probably wouldn't be able to win this second round.
"However, when Ye Ru goes crazy, he doesn't act like a scholar at all, but more like a soldier-general."
Wen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a wry smile.
"It seems he could join my army and help me kill demons."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianjian stroked his beard with a wicked grin.
"No, I don't think Ye Ru is a reckless person. He seems to have everything planned out."
Kong Delin also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Ru's calm and unrestrained figure. He hadn't expected the National Children's Competition to be so lively this time.
"Brother Ye, thank you for fighting to protect the honor of our Yanhuang Kingdom. We must also work hard."
Kong Hexuan bowed to Ye Ru, then quickly resumed writing.
"Hmph, I don't believe you won't slip up next time!"
Fan Ziling felt that she was no longer Ye Ru's match and cursed inwardly.
"I am also a descendant of Yan and Huang, it is only right."
Ye Ru smiled slightly, without the slightest arrogance.
Countless people witnessed this exciting literary contest and began writing again with renewed focus. As time passed, two hours flew by, and many young ladies turned their attention to Ye Ru.
To single-handedly turn the tide and preserve the prestige of the Yanhuang Kingdom—this is the act of a true hero, and the kind of peerless hero they admire.
boom!
As a bell rang, the second round officially ended. Kong Hexuan and the others put down their pens, looked at each other, and all breathed a sigh of relief.
"You brat! Wait until the third round, and I'll make sure you suffer a crushing defeat!"
Looking at Ye Ru, who seemed so calm and collected, Xiao Wenqi clenched his fists and cursed inwardly.
