I am a winner with Chinese poetry

"Smoke locks the willows in the pond, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, smoke, pond... How on earth can they match? It's impossible. There's no way I can fail!" Sun Zening's eyes were red at this moment, he kept muttering in his mouth, his brows locked in disbelief. These five simple words were like an insurmountable mountain, blocking him outside the door.

At this moment, he no longer had the elegance he had before, and his face was filled with ferocity and unwillingness. Gu Yunzhou, on the other hand, looked at Sun Zening calmly, as if he was waiting for something.

Gu Yunzhou wasn't surprised at Sun Zening's desperate struggle. After all, this was one of the most universally acknowledged secrets in history. If Sun Zening had cracked it so easily, he wouldn't have complained, even if he had to kneel down and admit defeat. But was that even possible? This was a secret that had stumped countless talented people, so he had been waiting for Sun Zening to collapse.

At this moment, Sun Zening suddenly let out a scream, and then his entire body became listless, and the powerful aura that originally emanated from him began to gradually dissipate. Seeing this scene, Gu Yunzhou's mouth curled up slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh no, Zening's aura is beginning to dissipate. All the momentum we spent so much time planning has been wasted. That shameless kid actually dared to destroy the promotion of our Sun family's Qilin'er. We would be ungentlemen if we don't take revenge!" The old man who was the head of the Sun family watched this scene with bloodshot eyes, but he was powerless and could only watch it all happen.

Initially, the Sun family made the decision to leverage momentum to force Sun Zening's ascension to the Sixth Rank. However, the chain reactions and consequences that followed this decision were already predetermined from that moment on. As the saying goes, "Success depends on Xiao He, failure also depends on Xiao He," this saying has now become a reality.

"Puff!" Suddenly, Sun Zening spat out a large mouthful of blood, the blood that burned in his heart. His breath instantly became weak, as if all his vitality had been drained away. His eyes lost their original brilliance, becoming dim and lifeless, no longer possessing the initial vitality.

"I... I can't even come up with this pair... How could I lose to him? I don't accept it! I don't accept it! Why is this happening!" Sun Zening became more and more agitated, with flames of anger burning in his eyes. He looked at Gu Yunzhou with murderous eyes, as if he wanted to tear the other party into pieces.

However, facing Sun Zening's questioning and resentment, Gu Yunzhou remained remarkably calm. He smiled, shook his head, and said softly, "Young Master Sun, you're wrong. I just accidentally broke through to the Ninth Rank."

He was kind enough to point out the mistakes in the other party's tone, and by the way, he specially demonstrated his ninth-grade cultivation that he had just broken through. "Well, the literary aura is more intense, and the literary palace is more stable. Not bad, not bad." Gu Yunzhou nodded with satisfaction.

Hearing this, Sun Zening's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief on his face. His body trembled, and he began to spasm as if he had been electrocuted. "This is too much!" He roared in anger, and blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth like a fountain.

"Zening, how are you? Gu Yunzhou, you are fine, very fine. Our Sun family will remember you!" The old man could no longer bear it. He quickly supported the limp Sun Zening, then glared at Gu Yunzhou with a look as if he were looking at a dead person. Then he waved his hand to signal the rest of the Sun family to quickly carry Sun Zening and leave the gate of the literary academy.

"Hey, why are you running so fast? I still have plenty of pairs. Master Sun, you better hold on. If you can't do it, just kneel down and admit defeat. Why are you running so fast!" Gu Yunzhou's eyelids twitched, and he sneered inwardly. Even at this time, this old man was still threatening him. Since he had already offended him, what would it matter if he went a little further? He had already offended him, so what difference did it make if he offended him three points or five points?

"Puff!" Sun Zening responded with an even louder sound of spitting blood, clearly furious. The people around him watched this scene and burst into laughter, each feeling incredibly happy. Previously, this guy had been so arrogant, even trying to step on the entire Jinzhou County student body to rise to power. Now, he'd finally been severely slapped in the face and could only flee in disgrace.

As for Sun Zening's failure to fulfill his bet and kneel down to beg for mercy, no one dared to question it. After all, if anyone dared to criticize him, they would probably not even know how they died. At this moment, everyone was still immersed in the joy of victory. However, unlike the joy of most people around him, Master Jia watched the scene with concern. Beside him, Principal Yuan and several other teachers also had serious expressions.

"Alas, Gu Yunzhou is too impulsive. He has completely offended the Sun family. I'm afraid they won't let this go!"

Master Jia sighed worriedly. Upon hearing this, Dean Yuan frowned. He was well aware of the stakes involved, but as a member of the academy, he naturally couldn't sit idly by. After a moment's contemplation, Dean Yuan spoke, "Gu Yunzhou has reached the Ninth Rank and should be immediately promoted to Class C-1. He hasn't accepted his mission for this month yet, right? Old Yao, make arrangements to send him to the border immediately. That place is the front line against the demons and barbarians. We, the entire human race, cannot afford to lose. Even if the Sun family were all-powerful, they would never dare to act rashly there!" Dean Yuan spoke firmly. Old Yao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and then his figure quickly disappeared.

"I was inconsiderate. Sun Zening's mouth really deserves a beating. No wonder Yunzhou showed no mercy. Jia Quan, you pack your bags and escort Gu Yunzhou to the border. You must protect him well. It's been less than a month since the literary energy entered his body, but he has already broken through to the ninth level. Coupled with his talent, genius, and character, if we train him well, our literary academy might be able to produce a semi-saint!"

After seeing Old Yao leave, Dean Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Yunzhou, who was surrounded by students from the Academy of Arts. He couldn't help but feel excited. It had been so many years since their Academy of Arts was founded, and they had never produced a Half-Saint. If they could succeed this time, it would be nothing short of a miracle! The thought of this made Dean Yuan tremble all over. Therefore, he would never allow anyone to have any ideas about Gu Yunzhou, not even the Sun family, the most powerful clan in Tianyuan.

"I will pack my luggage right away. Dean, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. It would be best if we can set off today!" Master Jia bowed and accepted the order. Before leaving, he could not help but speak again.

"I know. You call Gu Yunzhou over. While the Sun family is temporarily unable to spare any effort, send him to the front line as soon as possible!" The excitement on Principal Yuan's face suddenly disappeared. Without further delay, he asked Master Jia to call Gu Yunzhou over.
