No matter what everyone thinks, the shining challenge continues.

The fourth level is about Liliyuanshangpu. Is it related to tea? It can be said that it is not related, but the content has changed from the essence of tea to poems with tea in them, and it is Feihualing.

That is, the first word spoken by the second person must have the same pronunciation as the last word spoken by the first person. The characters can be different, but the entire line must not deviate from the essence of tea and cannot be repeated.

If it's about wind, flowers, snow, moon, etc., as a Chinese, I can at least match one or two. But the tea leaves are really hard to come by.

Shanshan stood on the stage, facing the seemingly difficult fourth level, but her eyes didn't show any fear, instead sparkling with excitement. She loved tea and had a strong interest in everything related to tea, often studying tea-related poetry.

At this time, the audience in the audience were whispering and talking.

"This fourth level is too difficult! The flying tea leaves, who can answer this?"

"Yeah, even if you know a lot about tea, you might not be able to come up with so many poems about tea. This boss really gave you a tricky question."

"I don't know if that little girl can do it. She performed so well in the previous rounds. I hope she doesn't let me down in this one either."

In the live broadcast room, fans were also very nervous, and the barrage of comments was scrolling wildly.

【Come on, Shanshan, you can do it! 】

[This level is too weird, don't panic, Shanshan, I believe you can answer it correctly! ]

[If Shanshan can pass this level, I will give her ten rockets!]

As the host announced the start of the fourth level, three more people came onto the stage. The host announced that she would only pass if she defeated these three people.

These three people were again invited by the organizers. From the moment they came on stage, everyone knew that these three people had no good intentions.

Because they heard that someone had made it to the fourth level, more and more people came to watch and the discussion became louder and louder.

Or maybe someone in the live broadcast room, perhaps a viewer of some intellectual program, recognized the origins of the three people.

Aren't these the three from the official "Boxue Challenge" show, He Bosheng, Tang Qun, and Shentu Ai? Why did the organizers bring them in as the main characters?

Are they awesome?

In the Oriental Literature Competition, they placed fifth, seventh, and eighth, respectively. Don't underestimate these rankings. This is a national competition, and these are the elite of the elite, selected from various universities! They either possess the strongest memories or possess profound literary expertise!

All in all, it's going to be difficult for Shanshan this time! 】

[Oh my god, these organizers are so ruthless, inviting such a powerful opponent. Shanshan must be under a lot of pressure!]

How can we compare? These three people are always among the best in national literary competitions. Shanshan is in trouble this time.

[No, I believe in Shanshan. She performed so well before, maybe she can create a miracle this time too!]

When the audience learned the identities of these three people, they all gasped.

"This little girl has met a tough opponent this time. These three people all have profound attainments in literature. It seems that the fourth level will not be so easy to pass." An old man said with a frown.

"Yeah, but this little girl's performance in the previous few levels is also impressive. Maybe she really has a way to deal with it." A young man nearby responded.

Shanshan, having heard the audience's discussions, had a better idea of ​​the strength of her three opponents, but she showed no sign of backing down. She took a deep breath, stared at her opponents with a determined gaze, and silently encouraged herself.

The competition officially began, and He Bosheng spoke first: "A small pot brews tea by the Quchi Lake, and a white-bearded Taoist plays chess among the bamboos." His voice is steady and powerful. This poem depicts a leisurely scene of drinking tea and playing chess, showing a deep literary background.

Shanshan nodded slightly, her mind rapidly searching for the right line. After a moment, she spoke calmly, "After finishing chess, one is unaware of the changes in the world; after finishing wine, one cannot help but miss home. Continuing with the word 'home,' 'Though my home lies amidst war, my brothers and nephews constantly cultivate the spirit of propriety and music. Tea revives the poetic spirit, and every cup brings a new poem.' This line captures the people's unwavering love for tea and poetry even amidst the chaos of war, embracing the theme of tea."

Tang Qun came on stage next. After a moment's thought, he said, "In spring, when one sobers up from hangovers and thirst, it's a good idea to pick the new buds and boil them."

Shanshan reacted quickly, adding, "A thousand petals bloom in the brewing tea, a jug of wine in the waiting pavilion. Taking the word 'jug,' the line evokes the idea of ​​'Jug,' 'Jug of wine, two old men meet, poems recited to grandchildren. Tea smoke curls around the Zen couch, ink rhymes linger in the heart and soul.' This line creates an elegant atmosphere of interwoven fragrances of tea and ink."

It was Shentu Ai's turn. A hint of confidence flashed through her eyes as she said, "I woke up from my afternoon sobriety, the sun was about to set in the west, and a bowl of fresh tea made my face fatter."

The gleaming eyes were like torches. After a brief pause, he said, "Who would have thought this poem of Fei Dun? His noble sentiments are certainly commendable. He continued with the word 'good': 'Good guests gather at the first feast, and the souls are reunited at the right time. Tea has a light fragrance, while wine has a long-lasting affection.' This line of poetry captures the beautiful scene of tea and wine accompanying each other at a gathering."

The audience was so captivated by the brilliant exchange that they momentarily forgot to applaud. Quan Fei and An Qingjie clenched their fists so tightly that their nails practically dug into their palms. Jiang Ningming, on the other hand, was raptly capturing every moment, knowing it would be one of the most captivating moments of the live broadcast.

In the live broadcast room, fans' comments flooded in like a tide. Everyone was cheering for Shanshan and also admired her wonderful performance.

[Shanshan is amazing. She can even connect with this. She's not inferior to those three masters at all!]

[I knew Twinkle would be the best! Her understanding and application of tea poetry is amazing!]

【Keep going, Shanshan, victory is just around the corner! 】

As the game continued, He Bosheng's gaze grew more serious, realizing that the person before him was no ordinary person. After a brief moment of reflection, he slowly began, "I do not envy a fat horse or a light fur coat; a pot of fragrant tea brings me leisure." This line reveals his detached state of mind, cleverly incorporating the element of tea, while also using the word "leisure" to create a dilemma for Shanshan.

Her gleaming gaze swept across the faces of the crowd, then fixed its gaze firmly off into the distance, as if she were fishing for the right verse from the vast ocean of poetry in her mind. In a moment, her clear voice echoed: "My heart understands it, its beauty hard to express to you. Using the word 'tell' again, she continued, 'I'll tell you, but others won't understand. With a cane and wine in hand, I gaze at Zhishan. Tea brewed in the spring breeze, the spring spring comes alive, and guests arrive at my humble door, where daytime is at leisure.'" This line not only seamlessly connects, but also paints a leisurely scene of brewing tea and entertaining guests on a spring day, demonstrating her mastery of poetry.

Tang Qun frowned slightly, secretly admiring Shan Shan's quick wit. He took a deep breath and said, "Idle clouds and wild cranes have no permanent home; a cup of fragrant tea accompanies their sleep under the moon." Tang Qun used the word "sleep" only to create obstacles for Shan Shan. He believed that in such a high-intensity competition, quickly finding the right verse would be difficult.

The corners of Shanshan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. Without hesitation, she responded, "Sleeping on clouds and stones, I know not how many years have passed. Books on the history of the Han and Tang dynasties fill the shelves in front of me. She continued with the word 'before,' 'In the deep snow in the village ahead, a branch blossomed last night. The pine fires blazed as the teapot boiled, the chrysanthemum fragrance chilled as the wine cup poured.'" The poem not only depicts the blossoming plum blossoms amidst the winter snow, but also cleverly incorporates elements of tea and wine, showcasing her rich imagination and profound literary heritage.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Shentu Ai's eyes. She hadn't expected Shanshan to be so capable of handling such a formidable opponent. She pondered for a long moment, then slowly spoke, "On a cold night, guests arrive, tea is served as wine, the bamboo stove simmers with soup, the fire just beginning to burn red." This seemingly simple but profoundly classic line brought the atmosphere of the match to a climax.

A flicker of excitement flashed across her glittering eyes. She had already memorized the poem and had already devised a brilliant response. She immediately said, "The small words on red paper express all my life's aspirations. And then there's the word 'intention,' 'My intention is to occasionally find myself in a deserted place, where flowers bloom before the green trees. Cups of Longshan Bai are often brewed, and jugs of Bamboo Leaf Green are often poured.'" This line not only perfectly complies with the rhythm, but also vividly depicts the pleasant scene of enjoying the scenery, sipping tea and wine in a secluded place.

The audience finally recovered from their shock and broke into thunderous applause and cheers. They were impressed by the brilliant dialogue between Shan Shan and his three opponents, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

Quan Fei and An Qingjie were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes. They clapped wildly and shouted the shining name. Jiang Ningming danced with joy, his camera working non-stop, recording every exciting moment.

In the livestream, fans showered the audience with gifts, with rockets, airplanes, and other special effects flashing across the screen. Comments like "Shanshan is awesome" and "Shanshan is invincible" filled the comments section.

[Shanshan, you are my idol. Your poetry is simply amazing!]

[This is a true battle between masters, it makes my blood boil! ]

[Keep going, Shanshan, defeat them and win the fourth level! ]

The organizers probably didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent as Shanshan. Seeing that they were about to pass this level, the host suddenly said:

"Hold on for a moment. It seems both our contestant and the arena masters are very capable. If this continues, no one will be able to recite more poems than you. To make it easier for everyone to understand, we require that the author and the date of creation of the poem be clearly stated when reciting poems."

As soon as the host finished speaking, it caused an uproar.

Everyone present is an old hand who has been in the business world for decades. What is there not to understand?

Aside from the young girl competing, the other three had clearly memorized poetry. So this wasn't a fair competition from the start. And now, they'd even increased the difficulty. This made the audience feel that the boss had lost some grace.
