Chapter 494 Test
As Ye Ru finished writing his final stroke, a deafening sound suddenly resounded throughout the land. A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm roared down, its terrifying sound waves spreading outwards, reaching the entire capital of Jin.
The sudden thunderbolt startled everyone present. They looked up and saw a vast expanse of silver light streaking across the sky before crashing down on Ye Ru's location.
Seeing this, the ghost scholars around them all showed a hint of schadenfreude on their faces, and a mocking smile swept across their lips.
The power of the lightning made them all feel uneasy, so they didn't believe that Ye Ru could withstand it.
Although their writings would be ruined if they couldn't withstand the lightning, it would be a pleasant surprise to nip a human genius in the bud.
Sensing the immense power emanating from this talent, Ye Ru raised his head, a solemn expression appearing on his face.
He also knew that his poem would be the best among them, but only if he could overcome the current hurdle.
If he cannot overcome this difficulty, his "Ode to the Red Cliff" will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.
The talent within his body surged forth from the Book Palace, eventually flowing into his limbs and bones. Ye Ru's pupils reflected ever-growing lightning. Then, with a wave of his hand, a precious book appeared before him, slowly spreading outwards.
"The precious book of Shenzi!"
Upon seeing this, the expressions of those scholars all changed, after all, this book was a classic text of the sages!
Shi Tian and the others looked at the sky, their faces showing shock, and a sense of defeat welled up in their hearts.
Because these sacred scriptures are not something that just anyone can possess; even if someone did, they would probably be given to the National Academy of Saints and the Academy of Saints.
But what was unexpected was that the other party actually possessed the legendary scriptures of the saints!
"The scriptures of the saints? Is this genuine or a forgery?"
Shi Tianze looked at the book in Ye Ru's hand and said slowly.
"The Shenzi was written by Shen Buhai, a representative figure of the Legalist school. After the state of Han destroyed the state of Zheng, he was appointed prime minister by Marquis Zhao of Han, and within fifteen years, the state prospered. The aura emanating from this book is like a bottomless abyss. Although it does not pose a great danger, it is undoubtedly a classic of the sages."
"However, how did the other party acquire it? After all, after Qin destroyed the six states, and with the burning of books and burying of scholars, many classics of the sages were destroyed. This book, Shenzi, is probably priceless."
Mr. Kong stared intently at the precious book "Shenzi," and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke again.
"It's a pity he doesn't know how to use it. Judging from this, he probably hasn't grasped the powerful force within this classic."
With a slight frown, Shi Tianze spoke slowly.
Seeing that Ye Ru had not yet gained control of the Holy Scriptures, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. After all, he had already put Ye Ru on his kill list. If Ye Ru were to gain a very powerful force, even he would probably suffer.
"If we were to grasp the true power of this precious book, I'm afraid none of us would be his match."
Seemingly sensing the killing intent in Shi Tianze's words, Mr. Kong looked at Shi Tianze meaningfully and slowly said.
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianze smiled slightly, seemingly aware that he had revealed something.
The lightning in the sky, as if shattering the clouds, swiftly struck Ye Ru, a sight that made all the scholars and contestants present gasp in shock.
This lightning bolt was truly terrifying; with their strength, they simply couldn't stop it.
"Stop it!"
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, and at this moment, the precious book in his hand emitted a beam of light, which shot directly toward the lightning bolt.
boom!
Under everyone's gaze, the beam of light and the thunder collided, instantly creating an extremely powerful ripple of energy that spread outwards.
As the light faded, the thunderclouds in the sky gradually disappeared, and even the powerful lightning bolt vanished from everyone's sight, eventually turning into nothingness.
"They shattered the lightning so easily? No way?"
"What was that book? It seemed to just emit a beam of light, and then the lightning disappeared?"
After a moment, many people began to whisper among themselves.
"This book, Shenzi, is incredibly powerful."
Mr. Kong's face showed a solemn expression as he spoke.
"The beam of light from activating this precious book alone can reach such intensity. If the other party truly comprehends the Shenzi, how powerful would they be?"
Xie Ming nodded, his eyes filled with fervor. As a scholar, he naturally yearned for such classic texts.
The thunderclouds slowly dissipated under Ye Ru's attack, and the clear sky reappeared, which relieved Ye Ru and the others. However, Yan Jin and the others looked even more gloomy.
"How is that possible? A single strike was enough to drive away all the lightning!"
Coming back to his senses from the shock, Yan Jin clenched his fists, a look of disbelief appearing on his face.
"Our essays are all finished. Please take a look."
Ye Ru raised his head, looked in Xie Ming's direction, and then slowly said.
"On each of the stone tables you are on, there is a testing machine. This testing machine is for checking the poems you have written. You only need to put your poems down. Whoever's light is the brightest will pass this test of the Six Arts. The level of this light is the same as the level of poetry, which is also divided into Primordial Chaos, Cultivating Virtue, Astonishing Saint, World-Renowned, Legendary, and Suppressing the World. Those who can pass will be above Cultivating Virtue!"
"Moreover, the final result of the competition, in terms of the intensity of the light."
Upon hearing Xie Ming's words, the scholars all wore expressions of eager anticipation.
Although Ye Ru summoned lightning, it doesn't mean the machine can get a very high score.
"Okay, let's get started."
After the words were spoken, the scholars brought their works to the stone table. Then, beams of light emerged and spread outwards, dazzling the eyes.
"Orange light! A work of the Xiude level!"
Upon seeing this, a scholar couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face beaming with joy.
Because if Xiude's work is included, it means he has completed the game.
Following that, many others began testing their own creations, with countless rays of light radiating outwards.
