Chapter Sixty-Two: One Against Many
Ye Ru's voice contained a provocation that sent a chill down everyone's spine.
No one would believe that the Holy Child before them was merely a weak scholar, but someone who truly possessed his own strength.
In this area, the members of the Heavenly Class were all speechless, and the arrogance on their faces completely disappeared.
An unprecedented silence fell over the scene.
"Brother Yanze, this..."
Lin Yanze's face darkened, and then he looked at Ye Ru:
"Since you want to challenge my entire elite class with your literary skills, then I'll grant your wish. I'd like to see whether your literary talent is more impressive or the courage of my many students is stronger!"
"Use the book's core for defense!"
As the shout fell, Lin Yanze suddenly released his book's inner core, and the students of the top class also gritted their teeth and released their inner cores as well.
Instantly, a tremendous power of ink spread outwards, finally blocking the flow of ink from the inkstone.
"How can you face your own sacred path if you bully the few with the many?"
"What a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. I even thought I could learn from my classmates in the top class, but now it seems they're nothing special."
The words of the student from the "Huang" class made those from the "Tian" class feel ashamed. The "Tian" class was known as the most promising group in Wenxing Private School to produce students who could pass the imperial examinations, but now they had to unite against a student from the "Huang" class.
This undoubtedly made them feel ashamed.
"Wenbao paperweight, go!"
Ye Ru's expression did not change despite the fact that the other party had collectively used the power of the Book's Core. The poem on the Xuan paper suddenly vibrated, and finally, it continuously replenished the power of the three literary treasures.
The former pointed his finger in the air, and the white tiger that had been transformed from the paperweight roared and pounced on the area of the "Heavenly Class".
boom!
Ink splattered everywhere, and the entire Class of Heaven was struck as if by lightning, falling directly to the ground, their painful groans echoing endlessly.
And the core of their books was also damaged in various ways.
Countless students from the "Desolate" class stared in astonishment at the scene before them, all somewhat shaken.
Seeing the people lying around him, Lin Yanze's face also showed a look of horror, then he took a deep breath:
"This time, we, Tianban, admit defeat. But do you dare to compete with me in talent?"
"If you dare not, then you admit that you are a cowardly rat."
Lin Yanze had nowhere left to retreat, so he made a final struggle.
"Those who understand the times are wise; do you have any chance to resist in the current situation?"
Ye Ru sneered.
"Confucianism governs the world with benevolence and righteousness, but you want to drive us to our deaths, which goes against the Confucian way. If you don't dare to compete with me in talent, your Confucian way will hardly make any progress in the future!"
Lin Yanze said in a shrill voice, completely disregarding his image.
“A gentleman seeks harmony but not uniformity, while a petty person seeks uniformity but not harmony. Since you understand Confucian benevolence and righteousness, why do you repeatedly provoke the students of my Huangzi Class? I am not here today to discuss the debate on the sacred path, but to seek revenge!”
Ye Ru's eyes were bright, and his resolve to write books was even stronger.
"Here is a box of tribute rosin, which I brought from the prefecture. It is extremely precious and worth a hundred taels of silver. I'll offer it as a prize. Do you dare to compete with me in a contest of talent?"
When Lin Yanze took out the brocade box, a unique fragrance filled the air.
Ye Ru raised an eyebrow, surprised that someone had delivered the rosin to his doorstep just as he was worrying about finding it.
"you sure?"
"Do you dare?"
Lin Yanze shouted sternly.
"Since that's the case, then I'll beat you until you submit."
Ye Ru strode forward, waved his hand, and the three literary treasures shrank, eventually returning to Ye Ru's sleeve.
He stood before the students of the Wilderness Class.
Lin Yanze and Ye Ru stood at a distance, and a tense atmosphere immediately filled the air.
"Haha, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' I already know your information. Did you really think I was just recklessly competing with you out of a sense of superiority?"
"You used three literary treasures earlier, which exhausted your talent. I, on the other hand, am only one step away from becoming a child scholar. Today, I will let everyone know that I will complete this literary contest by stepping on the body of Ye Ru, the child scholar who descended from the heavens, and become famous throughout Qingyun County. You, Ye Ru, are ultimately an incompetent fool!"
Lin Yanze burst into laughter when he saw Ye Ru make his vow.
"I have no grudge against you; we are both descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Yet you insulted me and harmed my friend. As Confucius said, 'Repay kindness with kindness, and evil with evil.' I have no choice but to repay you in kind."
Ye Ru, expressionless, stood with his hands behind his back and spoke loudly.
Lin Yanze said with a ferocious expression:
"What a brilliant 'fight fire with fire' strategy! Unfortunately, you're not qualified. Now you've fallen into my trap, with nowhere to retreat but defeat!"
"let's start."
Ye Ru said calmly.
These words made Lin Yanzhe's face even more gloomy, and then he shouted sharply:
"Ye Ru's writing of 'On Teachers' is nothing but a fame-seeking charlatan, causing the price of Xuan paper to skyrocket and leaving poor students with nothing to write on. He attempts to destroy the entire Chinese nation for his own selfish desires, which is a great injustice. I swear on my courage to pray that the God of Literature will shine upon him and punish this man!"
Lin Yanze's words enraged everyone, who then launched into a tirade of curses:
"Shameless Lin Yanze!"
"Ye Ru wrote 'On Teachers' for the sake of the great principles of the sages, hoping that all scholars would not be ashamed to ask questions and increase their learning. Your distortion of the truth is simply outrageous!"
"shameless!"
"Get out of Wenxing Private School, you're a disgrace to scholars."
These words made Lin Yanze's face even uglier, but he looked up at the Wenqu Star in the sky, which was now shining brightly, which made him feel a little more at ease.
After all, this phenomenon is real. Ye Ru's "On Teachers" caused a paper shortage in Qingyun County, and many scholars could no longer afford paper.
Ye Ru remained silent, fearing that this phenomenon could only be resolved once printing technology was completed.
The next moment, the Wenqu Star shone brightly, finally transforming into a pillar of talent that shot rapidly downwards.
Seeing this, Lin Yanze's smile gradually widened. He knew that this time, he had won.
"It's over! Lin Yanze has actually triggered the arrival of the Wenqu talent, which is much stronger than ordinary talent. Once he completes the baptism, Lin Yanze may also become a Saintly Child!"
"Brother Ye Ru's choice to compete with the opponent in talent was a real mistake. If he had known this would happen, he should have used his literary treasure to suppress him earlier."
Countless people whispered among themselves, their faces showing worry as they watched the beam of light streaking across the sky.
"The rights and wrongs, merits and demerits, will be judged by future generations."
Ye Ru bowed to the sky, then fell silent.
The energy plummeted rapidly, and everyone looked up at the sky. Finally, to everyone's astonishment, it shot directly towards Ye Ru.
boom!
The talent flowed into Ye Ru, and before anyone could react, a strange power erupted from his body, crashing into Lin Yanze.
boom!
Lin Yanze was struck by this talent, and a sound of bones shattering rang out. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Looking at all the students from the Heavenly Class lying on the ground, and then at Ye Ru's not-so-heavy back, everyone in the Wasteland Class swallowed hard, a chill creeping into their hearts...
