Chapter 227 The Orchid Chessboard
Upon hearing this, Zou Tianshu's face turned ugly. He stared intently at Ye Ru, never expecting that the other party would possess the power of four Golden Scripts.
In this way, the attacks from oneself and the opponent can cancel each other out.
After a long pause, Zou Tianshu spoke:
"Hmph, you'll regret saying that."
Ye Ru's expression remained unchanged; instead, it also contained a sharp, confrontational tone.
"I am waiting."
As Ye Ru finished speaking, Zou Tianshu's face grew even colder, and his eyes slowly closed at that moment.
boom!
As he closed his eyes, the atmosphere in the arena froze instantly. A sharp burst of talent swept through the area, and then a surge of talent arose around the Four Symbols. The oppressive power emanating from the surging talent caused many people to look on in shock.
Such a spectacular scene was unexpected by anyone, and it turned out to be the work of a mere scholar who had passed the imperial examinations.
"It's truly terrifying. It seems the ancient texts were right. In terms of educating the people, Confucianism is superior; in terms of leading troops and guarding the borders, military strategists are superior; in terms of ingenious skills to benefit the people, craftsmen are superior; in terms of healing the sick and saving the world, physicians are superior; in terms of the people's grains, farmers are superior. But when it comes to individual combat and talent, none can compare to the Yin-Yang School and Yin-Yang Masters."
Linghu Qingfeng said in a shocked tone.
Although this talent is not as great as that of a Hanlin scholar, such an attack would probably require considerable effort even for a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination).
"Ye Ru mainly cultivates Confucianism and Taoism. The strength of this bronze script power is determined by the depth of comprehension. I wonder if Ye Ru can withstand it."
"It's difficult. Studying Confucianism can improve one's thinking, but when it comes to fighting alone, I'm afraid it will be a bit of a stretch, even if these four bronze inscriptions can withstand the power of the four symbols."
Zhang Shuling frowned, then said with concern.
"It's really strong."
Ye Ru took a deep breath, but his understanding of bronze inscriptions was also beyond that of ordinary people. After all, he had the Complete Library of the Four Treasuries. If they did not fight head-on, it was still unknown who would win.
boom!
As Ye Ru pondered, the four beasts suddenly roared, and then simultaneously unleashed four beams of energy as thick as an arm, which slammed into Ye Ru in a square formation.
The beam of light, carrying fierce talent, appeared in front of Ye Ru in just a moment.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Ru's expression suddenly changed, and the talent within the Book Palace surged forth, causing the cauldron, jade seal, soil, and weapons to instantly swell in the wind.
boom!
The eight kinds of talent energy collided in an instant, and an extremely powerful ripple of talent energy swept outwards, eventually transforming into a talent energy storm that ravaged the heavens and the earth.
Countless people stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding at the astronomical observatory, marveling at the immense talent it contained.
boom!
Another muffled thud was heard, and the talent surged out again. Immediately afterwards, Zou Tianshu and Ye Ru both staggered back dozens of steps, stopping at the edge of the writing platform.
The power of the four elements gradually dissipated and eventually vanished into nothingness, leaving only the giant cauldron formed from the bronze inscription of the character "鼎" (ding).
However, this cauldron was extremely illusory, and it was clear that it had consumed too much of the power of the bronze inscription.
Although both sides were forced back dozens of steps, Zou Tianshu did not stop, because he knew that although his Four Symbols Power was already very strong, it still could not cause any harm to Ye Ru in the hands of the ancient bronze script.
call out!
Amidst the storm of talent, a silver aura emanated, and then, in the sky, a chessboard, under the gaze of countless people, expanded with the wind, eventually forming a gigantic chessboard.
This chessboard was exceptionally large, exuding a majestic aura, and it covered the area where Ye Ru was located.
The four divine beasts, along with the Youlan Chessboard, enveloped Ye Ru, leaving many people with a sense of shock on their faces.
I've never even heard of a battle like this, let alone seen one.
"This is the Orchid Chessboard, a third-grade literary treasure. Today, I will use it to ensure your defeat!"
Zou Tianshu gazed at the Youlan chessboard, a cold smile appearing on his face. A chess piece appeared in his hand, and he gently placed it down.
Snapped!
As the chess piece was placed, the sky, which had been covering Ye Ru's chessboard, also placed a piece, which happened to cover Ye Ru.
Just then, a thunderous sound suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the chess piece in the sky swelled up with the wind and transformed into a mountain, which fiercely suppressed Ye Ru.
This scene caused many students to gasp in surprise. Even Linghu Qingfeng and Zhang Shuling leaned forward slightly, their inner energy surging faintly.
If Ye Ru suffers a defeat, they will immediately take action, since this literary contest is merely an exchange of skills, not a life-or-death battle with other countries.
The mountain grew larger and larger, almost as if it could suppress the heavens and the earth, and in an instant, it appeared above Ye Ru's head.
Gazing into the ever-growing mountain of chess pieces, Ye Ru tapped his foot, sending the giant cauldron, burning with flames, flying straight out and colliding with it.
boom!
The mountain fell and collided directly with the giant cauldron. In the end, the giant cauldron transformed into golden characters and was utterly defeated.
Although the power of the Golden Inscription is strong, it has already consumed some of its power after colliding with the power of the Four Symbols. Now, with the addition of the power of this inscription and the power of the Chess Dao, the Golden Inscription is even more dim.
Many scholars sighed with regret upon witnessing this scene, and even Zhang Guo and his companions looked somber.
"The power of the Yin-Yang School is indeed formidable. I am not very talented, but I have also learned some of their secret techniques."
As the mountains loomed down, and just as they uttered a series of exclamations, a faint voice resounded from beneath them, and an aura of death quietly permeated the air.
"With my own hands, I will borrow the soldiers of the underworld..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the deathly aura that permeated the world suddenly began to gather, and countless skeletons slowly rose from the ground. They were dressed in armor, held weapons, and looked extremely ferocious.
"They're ghost soldiers!"
When Linghu Qingfeng and the others saw these skeletons, their expressions changed drastically.
"Isn't mobilizing Yin soldiers one of the ultimate techniques of the Yin-Yang School? How could Ye Ru possibly have learned it!"
Zhang Shuling took a deep breath, her heart filled with turmoil.
"Could it be that he also minored in Yin-Yang philosophy?"
Yu Mengyang never expected that Ye Ru would be able to use the Yin Yang School's ultimate technique.
"Break it for me!"
Ye Ru pointed in mid-air, and the skeleton warriors suddenly raised their heads, like shooting stars, and recklessly crashed into the mountain, slamming into its base.
boom!
The two attacks, each carrying terrifying power, collided instantly like meteors.
After the energy burst forth, it lasted for a moment before suddenly dissipating, and the mountain was directly shattered into countless fragments of energy.
The fact that the skeleton warriors won this battle surprised many scholars.
Everyone present knew the power of Zou Tianshu's skills, but in the end, Ye Ru withstood every single one of his moves.
