Chapter 48: Conquer 4 Levels!
Chapter Forty-Eight: Conquering Four Challenges!
Ye Ru's reckless fighting style caused a look of horror to appear on the faces of many scholars, and then their hearts sank.
Doing this is tantamount to courting death!
"How could Ye Ru be so foolish? Doesn't he understand the principle of using softness to overcome hardness? If this continues, he will inevitably be torn apart by these demons."
Fang Zifeng's face showed a hint of anger as he spoke.
"Demons are hateful!"
Magistrate Zhang clenched his fist and shouted sternly.
"This is really the end."
Some scholars closed their eyes, as if they could already see Ye Ru being torn to pieces.
They knew that under such circumstances, Ye Ru was doomed.
Among the demons, a large tiger demon stared at Ye Ru with its tiger eyes, its ferocity even more intense. After confirming there was no danger, it suddenly roared.
The roar transformed into a series of sound waves, causing the demons to immediately prostrate themselves before launching a fierce attack!
"That's a demon general comparable to a scholar who has passed the imperial examination!"
When Magistrate Zhang saw the enormous tiger demon, his eyes widened, and his heart grew even heavier.
Although this demon general was weakened by the power of the Holy Path in the Book Tower, he was still truly comparable to a scholar who had passed the imperial examination.
"What exactly happened in the Book Tower? Why is the third level so difficult?"
Fang Zifeng frowned, his face was grave, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
"found it!"
While everyone was worried about Ye Ru, a glint flashed in his eyes. He quickly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, then muttered incantations and wrote down his thoughts with lightning speed:
"Qin's moon and Han's gate,"
"The Long March has not yet returned."
"But if the flying general of Dragon City is in command,"
"We will not allow the Hu horse to cross the Yinshan Mountains."
The sixteen characters were recited by Ye Ru, written down with a pen, and finally transformed into a radiant light of talent, which suddenly merged into the arrow, and then shot out with a bang!
This time, no Saint was summoned, since having even one Saint summoning effect would be enough to make one stand out from the crowd.
Although it has not been called a saint, the talent within it is extremely fierce.
"Isn't that the poem Ye Ru wrote during his war of words with Han Dingsheng? He actually used it to kill the enemy!"
Someone said something, and many people looked towards the light and shadow in the book tower with shock.
The arrow's energy ripped through space, rapidly magnifying in the astonished gazes of the demon general and the many scholars, before finally striking their heads with a whoosh.
With the demon general dead, the demon soldiers, now leaderless, dared not move, and the scholars stared in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment.
"Ye Ru actually defeated the demon general? Am I dreaming?"
Xu Qingyuan pinched his arm, and the stinging pain brought him back to his senses. He immediately gasped.
"Demon General, that's someone who's a scholar..."
Magistrate Zhang's throat bobbed; he was utterly shocked.
"Not bad, you were able to see through the surface and find the demon general. Tell me how you did it."
After killing the demon general, Ye Ru was panting heavily, his talent now almost completely depleted.
"To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. On the surface, you were testing me on the six arts of a gentleman, but a hundred demon soldiers are a bit too much for me. Therefore, I concluded that you had other ideas, which is why you took such a risk to test me."
Ye Ru replied.
"Aren't you afraid that your idea is wrong?"
"Throw them into a place of certain death and they will live; trap them in a deadly situation and they will survive. Fortunately, I made the right bet."
"You've entered the path of the military strategists of the various sage families? In that case, I can lend you a hand."
A hint of admiration flashed in the old man's eyes as he tentatively inquired.
"No, my sacred path is to study for the rise of the human race!"
Ye Ru's resounding words caught the eye of the old man in the light and shadow.
"Perhaps you can become a great Confucian scholar through this path in the future, but unfortunately there will never be another sage in the world."
The old man of light and shadow spoke to himself, then looked at Ye Ru, pointed his finger, and a beam of light entered the latter's book palace:
"Now that you've made it to the third level, I'll grant you a little favor."
Ye Ru quickly clasped his hands in greeting, then looked inward at his own study.
There, an inkstone floats, bathed in the power of talent.
"This is?"
"This is demon ink made from the blood of the Demon King. When used on a brush, it can increase the power of battle words by 20%. However, this amount of demon ink can only be used three times."
"Made with the blood of the Demon King..."
Ye Ru took a deep breath; this demon king was comparable to a Hanlin scholar.
Moreover, applying it to poetry can increase its power by 20%. Even if he encounters a scholar, if he has time to write poetry, he might be able to kill the scholar!
"Thank you for the ink, sir."
Ye Ru expressed his gratitude once again.
"Alright, if you can break through this final barrier, you will have the talent to subdue this Book Heart. This Book Heart will then be entrusted to you for comprehension."
The old man in the light and shadow nodded. After experiencing the third level of talent baptism, Ye Ru entered the fourth level.
Upon entering the fourth floor, a book core, as if cast from pure silver, floats in the center.
The surrounding murals had disappeared, which made Ye Ru frown.
"The dragon has nine sons. Please name these nine sons."
The old man in the light and shadow said.
"This is the fourth level?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru frowned, then blurted out:
"The eldest son is Qiuniu, the second son is Yazi, the third son is Chaofeng, the fourth son is Pulao, the fifth son is Suanni, the sixth son is Baxia, the seventh son is Bian, the eighth son is Fuxi, and the ninth son is Chiwen."
“Good, you have successfully passed the fourth test. This book, written in one stroke, is now handed over to you.”
The old man nodded, then with a flick of his sleeve, the book's core disappeared directly into Ye Ru's mountain of books, transforming into a star that shone upon the mountain.
After obtaining the Book Heart, Ye Ru appeared directly outside the Book Tower, where Fang Zifeng and the others offered their congratulations.
However, there are fewer people here.
However, before the congratulations were even halfway through, Magistrate Zhang's official seal suddenly rang, and he then informed Ye Ru that the demons had used a secret strategy to attack Qingyun County.
"Ye Tongsheng, the situation at the front is critical. Continue the rescue efforts. The demons have already reached Yun Pass. I hope you can go to the front and join General Huo Yan's army."
Magistrate Zhang said in a deep voice.
'May I go back first? It will only take half a day.'
Ye Ru was completely confused, but he did not refuse.
"I'll give you two hours."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru hurriedly returned to Wenxing Private School.
"Nursery rhyme, the situation at the front is critical. I must go to Yun Pass. Wait for me here."
Pushing open the door, Su Tongyao was working.
"Go."
Su Tongyao nodded, gazing at Ye Ru with deep affection, as if she had known all along.
"You won't blame me, will you?"
"You have pride, and I should have righteousness. Young Master Ye Ru, all I want is for you to return safely."
Su Tongyao, like a doting wife, straightened Ye Ru's robes and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for my return, and I won't let you suffer anymore."
A feeling of emotion welled up in Ye Ru's heart, and he hugged Su Tongyao tightly, saying...
"High official positions and generous salaries are not important to those who are waiting anxiously at home; all I hope for is your safe and sound return."
