School flower's personal master

Chapter 12322

Everyone realized: "This is a poem? He's also planning to win with poetry?"

In literary debates, the most outstanding and easily talked-about aspects are the beautiful lines of poetry.

After all, if an article is too long and its content is too profound, it is easy to make it obscure and difficult to understand, which is not conducive to its widespread dissemination.

To put it bluntly, even if an article is excellent, it's not convenient for people to go out and brag about it.

But poetry is different.

The text is already short, so even if you can't memorize the whole thing, you can still talk about it for half a day just by picking out a sentence or two.

Someone succinctly revealed Guo Xianggu's intentions.

"Brother Guo, you not only want to win, but you also want to win a resounding victory, so that everyone will remember this literary duel."

He wants to be remembered for all time!

Li Tianguo touched his nose: "I didn't realize before, this guy has a big heart."

From Guo Xianggu's perspective, it's actually quite easy to understand.

This may be the most glorious moment of his life. After that, no matter what he does, it will be difficult to get such unprecedented attention.

Those high-ranking aristocratic tycoons would only cast a few glances at him at this time.

Once you miss it, you'll never have another chance like it in your life.

Therefore, no matter what, he must seize the opportunity to showcase himself as much as possible and make those powerful families remember him!

To create a poem that will be a timeless masterpiece is undoubtedly the best choice!

"..."

"The old stories of the Six Dynasties have flowed away with the water, but the cold smoke and withered grass remain green."

"Even now, courtesans still sing the lingering melodies of the inner palace."

After the poem was finished, the audience outside the venue once again felt a chill run down their spines.

"Brother Guo, your writing is superb! This is truly a masterpiece!"

Guo Xianggu's die-hard supporters cheered loudly.

Someone said smugly, "What kind of literary old lady is she? In the end, she's just fit to be Guo's stepping stone!"

Li Tianguo turned to Cao Luoshen and asked, "Brother Cao, what do you think of this poem?"

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Cao Luoshen stroked her chin and said, "Very strong, unexpectedly strong. If I were to go up there, my chances of winning would be less than 40% at most."

The whole place was in an uproar.

This man is recognized as a top-tier talent in Tianjun County. To receive such praise from him is incredibly valuable!

With the help of certain individuals, the news that Cao Luoshen admitted she was inferior to Guo Xianggu spread like wildfire.

Countless people were stunned, yet unable to refute it for a moment.

After all, these words really came from Cao Luoshen's mouth.

Those Guo Xianggu supporters could be defeated with a single sentence.

"Your brother himself said he can't compare to our Guo Xianggu."

However, Cao Luoshen's next words caused an uproar in the audience.

"This writing style doesn't resemble Guo Xianggu's, so it probably wasn't written by him."

He certainly looked down on Guo Xianggu, but Guo had been the top scholar for so long. Even if he didn't care, all sorts of poems and articles would still reach him, and he couldn't help but take a look.

At his height, he could discern many things at a glance.

Li Tianguo immediately realized: "He bought this poem?"

This was also the thought of everyone present.

But someone immediately stepped forward to question: "Is Young Master Cao saying this out of jealousy of Brother Guo? Did he realize that his literary talent was inferior to Brother Guo's, so he tried to smear Brother Guo? Is this the demeanor of a top-notch talent?"

Soon, someone else refuted this.

Ultimately, given Cao Luoshen's popularity, she has just as many die-hard fans as Guo Xianggu.

Cao Luoshen herself, however, dismissed this matter with disdain.

Guo Xianggu, who needs popularity and connections to achieve upward social mobility, doesn't need that.

Until someone raised a crucial question.

"Young Master Cao said he bought it, so I'd like to ask, where can you buy poems of this quality?"

This question truly stumped Cao Luoshen.

Even he wouldn't dare say he could write poetry of this caliber. Who else in Tianjun could possess such astonishing talent?

Moreover, even if someone could actually write it, who would be willing to sell it?

The literary genius track is right here, just like Tang Qingxue, this literary genius old lady who suddenly appeared. Wouldn't it be better for her to finish the track herself?

Guo Xianggu was just an ordinary citizen; even if he sold everything he owned, he wouldn't have much to offer.

Compared to the fame and fortune gained from finishing the race, it's not even in the same league.

Cao Luoshen fell silent.

Guo Xianggu's supporters immediately concluded that he had run out of words, and cheered and spread the news that Cao Luoshen was inferior to him, leaving the others speechless.

At this moment, Lin Yi was utterly astonished.

If others can't see it, how could he not?

The poem the other party produced is clearly Wang Anshi's "Osmanthus Fragrance: Reminiscences of Jinling".

This was the trump card he was planning to play.

Who would have thought that the other party would take it out first!

If it's a coincidence, how could there possibly be such a coincidence in the world?

Unless Guo Xianggu on the other side is also from the secular world like him!

However, Lin Yi quickly dismissed this possibility.

Given the current relationship between the secular world and Heavenly Island, coupled with the existence of the center, it is entirely reasonable for a small-scale movement of people to occur.

Let alone the Heavenly County, even if some mortals actually went to the gods, Lin Yi wouldn't find it strange at all.

The problem is, the secular world has its own unique flavor.

That flavor is deeply embedded in your bones and even your soul, just like a modern person traveling to ancient times.

People in ancient times might not have noticed, but to another modern person, it's as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark, and there's no possibility of mistaking it.

The person opposite Guo Xianggu clearly didn't have that kind of aura.

Even if the other party is only in a primordial spirit form at this moment, and even if from Lin Yi's perspective this is the first time he has truly come into contact with the other party, Lin Yi has no possibility of making a mistake in this matter.

At the end of the race, a native of Tianjun suddenly pulled out Wang Anshi's "Osmanthus Fragrance: Nostalgia for Jinling".

What this represents is quite intriguing.

"Cheating?"

Lin Yi didn't know how the other party cheated, but he was pretty sure of it.

That being said, while such an operation may seem absurd, it is not entirely impossible.

Don't forget that Sima Bozhong hitched a ride with Cao Luoshen to the final race, which was essentially no different from trying to find loopholes in the track.

This is true.

At that moment, Guo Xianggu across from him was secretly pleased with himself.

He did indeed use cheating methods, and the methods taught to him by the Sima family were even used.

As the top-ranked writer, he already attracted the attention of many aristocratic families, but they were all second- or third-rate families, not top-tier ones.

The key point is that before the race truly ends, even when facing these established families, he doesn't have much bargaining power.

The Sima family, in particular, loves to plan ahead and seize opportunities. (End of Chapter)
