The fourth day of the first month.
After three days of bullSh*tting, the Shanhe Academy finally announced on this day that the freshmen from the Shanhe Academy would also participate in this year’s literary competition, and exactly how many people would participate had not yet been announced. However, it was announced when the competition would begin.
On the seventh day of the first month, exactly three days later.
“As the competition for the position in the Literary Altar is for the status of Confucian orthodoxy, the students who participate absolutely cannot be those who practice other martial arts. Those who participate in the Mountain River School must have practised ‘Hao Ran Zheng Qi’.” Inside the Pa*senger House, Lu Qifeng was elaborating the details of this mission to Qing Yu.
“And according to our intelligence, only three of the scholars trained by the Shan He Academy itself have practiced ‘Ho Yin Zheng Qi’. This is your chance, and when the time comes, all you have to do is come forward and show your disguised true qi, and you will be able to participate in the literary world in a logical manner.”
Lecturers at the Mountain River Academy were not monks, but would also have their own wives and children. The children of these lecturers were personally taught by the lecturers since they were young, and those who became talented far exceeded those who were recruited from outside, and could be considered one of the main sources of core students.
Although no one from Qingyu’s cla*s has yet been heard of who has attained the “Hao Ran Zheng Qi”, just because they haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean there aren’t any. It was just that these three scholars had become core scholars as soon as they were initiated, and ordinary ordinary scholars didn’t know about it.
”Indeed, Lu Qifeng’s method is for me to directly expose myself on the spot and join the literary world in a highly suspicious form to forcefully compete for a position, but then, my status as a scholar will pretty much be nullified afterwards.” Qing Yu thought to himself.
Fortunately, there was an arrangement in place, otherwise the people who would have been confused were not only Zhuge Long Su, but also Qing Yu.
“Your Excellency, how can the Mountain River Academy agree to a condition like this?” Qing Yu asked in amazement.
It was really curious that the Shanhe Academy would agree to this after all the trouble they had caused by advancing the time for the literary competition and making all kinds of entry conditions.
“Haha,” Lu Qifeng laughed, “Qing Yu, you are after all not deep into the world. You don’t know that this world relies on strength after all.
Naturally, the Shanhe Academy side doesn’t want to just agree to this, but they have to. Because our fist is bigger than theirs ——”
Lu Qifeng raised his fist, “In the past, it was only people from Science who participated, and they, as the losers of previous literary battles for the position, were naturally qualified to mention any conditions. To be honest, they would have to be a thousand thanks for not being offered conditions by the people of the Shanhe School.
And this time, unlike previous times, this time, the science represented our Great Qian. His Majesty attaches the utmost importance to the Heavenly Son’s Martial Science, and it can be said that he has given a decree that it must be obtained. If we weren’t afraid of Meng Shanhe, do you think we would still have to beat around the bush in such a way to achieve our goal.”
Yes, the bigger the fist, the greater the reason, Qing Yu once again felt this simple but extremely practical truth. In a world where even Confucian students have to roll up their sleeves to fight for status, what other reasoning can force a bigger fist than a bigger fist.
The peace that has prevailed in the Northern Zhou for so many years has not been sustained by Meng Shanhe, whose force is unparalleled. Otherwise, the Northern Zhou court alone, or the Shanhe Academy without Meng Shanhe, would not be able to stop the iron hoof of the Great Qian’s military front.
But —— thinking about this, another thought suddenly popped into Qing Yu’s head, such an important matter, just rely on Rei’s cla*s alone? At least Qing Yu is not aware of any arrangements on the side of Daqian except for himself, the dark son. At the moment, the only people floating on the surface were those from the Academy.
If all the scholars of science were like Xie Guangran, the success or failure of this literary competition would still not change, even with the addition of his own dark son.
“My lord, will I really not be found out?” Qing Yu made a very frightened face.
“Don’t worry, you won’t be found out,” Lu Qifeng laughed, “We have put forward so many conditions, and naturally Zhuge Longxu refused to lose out and put forward his own. The venue for this literary altar competition for the throne will be held in a small secret realm.”
Little Secret Realm —— Qing Yu had heard of this term.
The most powerful people in the Tong Shen realm could open up small, living spaces that could be used for creatures to survive. This kind of space, after being operated by a person, and augmented by formations, could simulate the scenery of the normal world, as if it was an out-of-this-world paradise, and was therefore called the Little Secret Realm.
Meng Shanhe is one of the few strongest people in the world, ranked eighth in the Heavenly Ranking.
In the jianghu world, there are three lists of heaven, earth and human, each corresponding to the top ten realms. The Heavenly Ranking corresponds to the God-Realm, which is a realm where those who are strong enough to soar freely off the ground, and where those whose martial arts skills are so advanced that they are above the mortal world, are located in the sky, hence the name Heavenly Ranking.
Below the Heavenly Ranking is the Earthly Ranking, which corresponds to the True Dan Realm. They are the mainstay of all the major powers in the jianghu. Their ranking as the Earth Ranking is true to their name.
Below that is the Human Ranking, which corresponds to the Divine Origin Realm. Below the Heaven and Earth, there are the people, there is nothing more to say. (Perfunctory (〃’▽’〃))
In addition, there is also the Young Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, known as the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. As the younger generation is in a period of strength advancement, the rankings are changed from time to time, and apart from a few individuals, it is difficult to convince others. Therefore, although it is the most popular in the jianghu, it is basically a gossip and is not as convincing as the other three lists.
After all, it is possible that one day a young man who has been submerged in cultivation will suddenly emerge and cut his way into the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking.
“So, you don’t need to worry at all, just don’t be seen when you enter the small secret realm. After entering, even if they have any suspicions, there’s nothing they can do about it.” Lu Qifeng said with relief.
I’m not worried, but I’m not at ease.
The more Lu Qifeng said this, the more strange Qing Yu felt. No matter what, that is still the small secret realm of the Shanhe Academy, and you are not worried at all? Are all the important orders from the Great Qian Emperor fake?
The more you look at it, the more relaxed Lu Qifeng is.
The thoughts in his heart were many, but he could only suppress them in his heart. Because Qing Yu knew that even if he asked his doubts, Lu Qifeng would not answer, but would instead warn him.
Besides, Qing Yu was not very interested in this fight, and he did not care about the destination of the Heavenly Son Martial Arts. Lu Qifeng and Zhuge Longxu had their own plans, and Qing Yu had his own plans too.
Entering the Little Secret Realm to fight would also help Qing Yu’s plans. Since everyone felt that the location of this Literary Altar Brawl was in their favour, the location this time would be set in the Little Secret Realm of the Mountain River School.
“Someone will contact you after you enter the small secret realm, so we will see what happens then.”
“Yes, my lord.”
