I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Upon hearing this, many of the onlookers snorted in disdain and left on the spot, but some stayed because of Uncle Cai's words "shake the nine states".

Gu Yunzhou just smiled faintly, with no emotion on his face, and did not respond to the inexplicable hostility. Instead, he picked up the brush and started writing.

"......"

"Kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles."

"When the work is done, I will leave, hiding my achievements and fame."

His writing is sharp and powerful, like a knight wielding a sword, traversing the rivers and lakes, unstoppable. Every word contains endless power and passion, making people feel the bravery and fearlessness of the knight.

This time he chose Li Bai's "Song of the Knight-errant", and of course made corresponding modifications to the key parts. He has always liked the chivalrous spirit of the knight in the poem, and it is very appropriate to bring it out at this time and in this scene.

As expected, a bright and dazzling light shot up from the paper into the sky, and everyone's ears instantly heard a clear and thunderous sound of horse hooves. Then, as far as the eye could see, at the end of the sky, a young man in bright clothes, with a heroic appearance, was riding a fast horse and holding a sharp sword.

"Oh my god, the poem has become a vision!" someone exclaimed.

"Poetry is the guardian of the country. Where on earth did this monster come from?"

As the crowd gasped in surprise, a young man, clad in vibrant attire and atop a steed, appeared before them. His thin lips pursed tightly, his face stern as ice, revealing an undeniable resolve. He suddenly raised his sword high, and in an instant, a dazzling flash of sword light streaked across the sky, like an alien being, carrying a chilling murderous intent. As the crowd stared in astonishment, the young man and the radiant sword light mysteriously merged into nothingness, as if they had never existed.

"I was scared to death. Such a strong murderous aura!" Some onlookers patted their chests, their faces full of fear.

"Oh, it's unbelievable. This is just an illusory shadow formed by the condensation of literary energy, but it is so realistic that it makes people feel as if they are in an actual battle. The pervasive murderous aura, heavy and condensed, actually evokes the thrilling experience when I first fought against the demon clan alone." Some people were filled with emotion, their expressions full of reminiscence and sighs.

"Kill one person every ten steps, leave no trace in a thousand miles! Such a strong murderous aura, such heroic poetry. Just now, I was blind and underestimated the heroes of the world. I apologize to you here, I hope you will not take offense!"

At this time, a man in his twenties walked out of the crowd and apologized to Gu Yunzhou solemnly without any perfunctory attitude. He was one of the people who had shouted the loudest just now.

"Oh my God, isn't this the third young master of the Dawn Kingdom? He actually apologized to this unknown young man!" Someone with sharp eyes in the crowd recognized the person and was stunned, his words full of disbelief.

Gu Yunzhou had obviously heard the whispers of the people around him, but he had no apparent feelings of like or dislike towards the newcomer. His heart remained calm. Whether it was the questioning glances or the compliments, to him, they were all like passing clouds, insignificant.

He always had a single, unwavering goal in mind—the pursuit of ultimate power. However, he wasn't the type to be arrogant or conceited when it came to the kindness shown by others; he knew how to respond with courtesy and accept it with joy.

"I don't need to apologize. The Seventh Link Pass brings together many outstanding people. I am just a humble talent. I have the courage to write here today. It is understandable that there will be occasional doubts. But you, sir, are open-minded, upright, and willing to take responsibility without being fussy about trivial matters. This demeanor is truly admirable!"

Gu Yunzhou's words were sincere yet elegant. He first subtly praised the hidden talents within the Seventh Stage, stating that who could truly claim to be among them was a matter of personal judgment. He then offered a humbly compliment, praising the other person's open-mindedness and courage.

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people watching the excitement around and the third young master all relaxed a lot, and the atmosphere became more harmonious for a while.

"Little brother, you are indeed open-minded. I am from the Shan family of the Dawn Kingdom. My name is Shan and my pen name is Ze. I am grateful for your kindness and have been given the nickname "Third Young Master". If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Shan. In the future, if you encounter any difficult problems in this area of ​​the Seven Passes, feel free to come to the Shan family villa to find me. I will do my best to help you!" After Shan Ze finished speaking, he laughed heartily. The confidence and heroism revealed in his laughter made everyone around him look at him with envy.

That is the Dawn Kingdom, which ranks among the top three among many vassal states. The Shan family is also a large and influential family in the Dawn Kingdom. It is no exaggeration to say that in the Seven Passes, after what Shan Ze said today, even if you dislike Gu Yunzhou and want to make trouble for him, you have to think carefully. After all, if you offend the Shan family, you will be punished and you don’t want to stay in the Seven Passes anymore.

Gu Yunzhou didn't understand the weight of these words, but he clearly felt the sincerity of Shan Ze's words. Looking around, the envious and jealous gazes around him were like an invisible net, making him realize the rarity and preciousness of this promise.

So, he bowed solemnly to Shan Ze, his manner revealing a sense of ease and naturalness, and said in a clear voice: "Thank you, Brother Shan, for your generous care. I, Gu Yunzhou, will respectfully obey your orders. If you have any requests in the future, I will do my best to fulfill them!"

"Haha, what a straightforward person!" Shan Ze laughed, his eyes sparkling with admiration. "I just like your open-minded and unconcerned personality. Those who are willing in their hearts but pretend to be reserved and make excuses are really annoying. Today is a good day worth celebrating. Come on, Brother Yunzhou, I'm in a very good mood today. Why don't we go to Qionghua Tower for a drink? I heard that they have a new wine that is delicious. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to a few close friends!"

Shan Ze's smile grew even brighter. He was a straightforward man, with a clear distinction between love and hate. He would do anything to stab a friend he liked, but for those he disliked, he wouldn't even bother to glance at them, even if you held a Tianji treasure before him. Clearly, Gu Yunzhou's forthright, frank, and unpretentious demeanor suited his taste perfectly.

"Obedience is worse than respect, Brother Shan. However, I need to stay for a while to see off a few friends, and then I will come to meet you, Brother Shan!" Gu Yunzhou did not expect that the Qionghua Pavilion of Beichen Kingdom would also open a branch in Qilianguan, a war-torn place. After a slight pause, he agreed directly.

He had just arrived at Qilianguan, and everything around him was still unfamiliar. Although he had the protection of the Academy of Literature, making a few friends in this area and gaining a deeper understanding of the changing situation in Qilianguan would undoubtedly help him adapt greatly. This opportunity seemed to be just in time.
