Chapter 499 Opponent
A burning desire shone in everyone's eyes as they looked at Ye Ru and the others. This competition would be the final chapter of the entire Scholars' Gathering!
This also determines who will be the champion of this literary gathering!
They all hoped that Ye Ru could pass the imperial examination with seven consecutive top honors and become the first in this scholarly competition.
Although Ye Ru was from the Yanhuang Kingdom, he risked his life to keep the entire Ghost Scholar outside for the sake of his human race.
Therefore, Ye Ru can be considered their hope!
"Everyone already knows these rules, right?"
Xie Ming looked around and repeated himself, but with a slight hint of mockery on his face.
They had never used this kind of chaotic battle before; at most, they had only followed the advancement mechanism.
Now, this chaotic battle will test not only the coordination abilities of these scholars, but also their individual combat capabilities.
"understood."
Everyone shouted in unison, and then prepared to join the battle.
Ye Ru also took this opportunity to look around. Of the twenty people present, twelve were ghost scholars and eight were human literati. Therefore, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
"The current situation doesn't seem to be very good."
Kong Ling seemed to understand this as well, and then frowned and slowly said.
He also realized the disadvantage of having fewer people on his side.
"The only thing we can do now is to try to gather the eight of us together, otherwise we're bound to lose."
Ye Ru nodded, a solemn expression appearing on his face. He didn't recognize any of the eight people, and Shi Tian was among them. Based on the previous competition, it was absolutely impossible for Shi Tian to willingly listen to them, which added some pressure.
"Alright, now that you all know, let's begin the competition."
Xie Ming slowly raised his hand under everyone's gaze, and then suddenly brought it down. As his words fell, Ye Ru suddenly felt as if an earthquake had occurred underground. Then, they saw their high platform rise up, while the previous high platforms fell down directly.
This place had become a huge competition stage, and everyone held their breath, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.
"Game start!"
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty streams of talent energy suddenly burst forth from the quiet stage. The immense power contained within these streams of talent energy caused everyone to gasp for breath.
“I always lost to you in the previous rounds, but I won’t lose to you now.”
Yan Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he slowly walked up to Ye Ru and pointed at the latter with one finger.
If even Ghost Scholar couldn't win in such a lopsided match, then he would be truly finished.
"Heh, even though there are twelve of you, it's just wishful thinking to think you can win the championship from our human scholars!"
Ye Ru's gaze also held a hint of gloom, and his words carried a chill.
The stands were also filled with excitement because of this chaotic battle; after all, this round was sure to be extremely exciting.
"Then give it a try."
Taking a deep breath, Yan Jin's demonic power and talent began to emerge almost simultaneously. The two forces made his body exceptionally strange, and a dangerous fluctuation spread outwards.
This bizarre scene made Ye Ru extremely vigilant. These ghost scholars were rather strange, and if he accidentally fell into a trap, he would be finished.
As Yan Jin's talent surged forth, the remaining eleven strands of talent also instantly spread out. This powerful talent energy caused many people to frown slightly.
"It seems that Yan Jin is going to go all out, otherwise he wouldn't have used such powerful demonic energy."
Kong Lingxin was also shocked by this demonic power, and her expression became increasingly solemn.
"You deal with Yan Feng, I'll deal with Yan Jin."
A cold glint flashed in Ye Ru's eyes as he looked at Yan Jin, whose talent had reached its peak, and said in a deep voice.
"Yan Jin is already very difficult to deal with. This big melee isn't like the previous talent competition. Are you sure you can handle it?"
Kong Ling frowned. Although he knew that Ye Ru was very talented and had even defeated the two of them, the current situation was different from before, so the outcome was unpredictable.
"Don't worry, he's desperate now. Although he's very threatening, it's not like there's no way to deal with him."
Ye Ru shook his head. He knew that the other party's demonic power had been fully released. Although he was already somewhat tired after the first six rounds of learning, he still had many ways to restrain such evil spirits.
At the very least, the Sacred Tree is a good example.
"Alright, then leave Yan Feng to me. He's relatively weak. I'll try to see if I can handle him, and then I'll come find you right away."
Seeing Ye Ru's insistence, Kong Ling nodded, then turned her gaze to the equally chilling Yan Feng in the distance, and slowly said:
"You don't have much talent anymore, can you handle it?"
Ye Ru sensed the talent emanating from Kong Ling's body, and when he realized that the other party's talent was not much, he said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, as a member of the Confucius family, I am not that fragile. Otherwise, wouldn't I be disgracing our Confucius family?"
Shrugging, Kong Ling said in a seemingly casual manner, but the seriousness in his eyes revealed that it wasn't really the case.
Currently, the two sides have formed two separate circles, and a tense atmosphere has suddenly arisen between them.
Both sides know that things have come to this point, and there is no longer any need to hide their abilities.
"In that case, let's give it a try. I'll deal with them as soon as possible and then go help you."
Nodding, Ye Ru spoke slowly.
"Brother Ye, we'd like to join too."
At this moment, the other scholars also reached out their hands, and then in a flash, stood next to Ye Ru.
Clearly, they now realize that if they don't unite, the human race will likely face total annihilation.
"Alright, then you guys hold off the others for now, and I'll deal with these two powerful ones, how about that?"
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Ru nodded, bowed to the crowd, and a look of gratitude appeared on his face.
The reactions of these literati have now completely resolved his worries.
But when he glanced at him, he saw that Shi Tian was still struggling, seemingly unwilling to relinquish his status and form an alliance with Ye Ru.
"How about it? Can you handle it? This is no longer a personal grudge. Don't make me look down on you. You are a scholar of the human race, not a scholar of the ghost scholar!"
Kong Ling raised her head and sternly rebuked Shi Tian, who was now in a dead end. From the beginning of his feud with Ye Ru, he had been suppressed by Ye Ru in every round.
He has now turned Ye Ru into his nightmare, but once he breaks free from this nightmare, his future prospects will likely rise to another level.
"Am I a scholar of that race?"
Shi Tian looked at his palm, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He had reached a crossroads. If he couldn't figure out the final outcome, he would probably stop here and become the first to be eliminated. If he could figure it out, then the power of the human race would greatly increase.
"Have you forgotten how Ye Ru suppressed you before?"
Seeing this, Yan Jin knew that Shi Tian had entered a strange state, which was related to his future, so he sneered and couldn't help but say.
These words immediately darkened the faces of Ye Ru and the others. After all, Shi Tian was also a scholar of the human race. Although the Yanhuang Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom were enemies, scholars of the human race had no national boundaries.
Yan Jin's voice, like that of a demon, entered Shi Tian's ears, causing him to clench his fists tightly.
"Why should I help him! Why should I help him!"
"Don't listen to him. Humans are of one mind. If there is no cause, how can there be an effect!"
Seeing this, Kong Ling's expression changed, because Yan Jin's words had almost directly influenced Shi Tian's thoughts.
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes, a faint murderous aura appearing on his face. If he could keep these ghost scholars here, he would try his best to keep them here.
Seemingly sensing Shi Tian's reaction, Ye Ru parted his lips slightly, and a soft voice resounded throughout the world:
"Being humble makes one humble; being humble allows one to take more; taking more allows one to rise higher in status."
