I am a winner with Chinese poetry

The dean of the Academy of Literature saw everything that happened. His face turned ashen, but there was nothing he could do. That was a blatant conspiracy. He could either admit that the Academy of Literature was indeed inferior to him, Sun Zening, or send a student from the Academy of Literature to repel the other party. But if he really wanted to do that, he would have sent someone as soon as the other party came to provoke him. How could he just sit there and watch Sun Zening talking nonsense in front of the gate of the Academy of Literature?

"What did the person responsible for contacting Zhuang Chen and Huang Luoxin say in response?" Principal Yuan asked in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

An old man standing next to him and following him frowned with a serious expression. This was the same old man who had specifically told Gu Yunzhou to increase the difficulty of the test when Xie Guanguan tricked him into taking the exam.

The old man sighed and replied gravely, "It's difficult. The two of them led a small team deep into the heartland of the barbarians and have now completely lost contact. Even if we could contact them, it would be of little use. Principal, it looks like our Academy of Literature will be discredited today!"

The old man shook his head helplessly, his expression equally grim. However, since only students below the seventh rank could participate in the challenge, this rule was like a shackle, tightly binding them. Even if they had great abilities, they could only watch helplessly, anxious and helpless.

At this moment, a glint suddenly flashed in Yuan Shanzhang's eyes, as if he had thought of something. He turned his head sharply, looked at the old man beside him, and said, "Old Yao, what do you think about letting Gu Yunzhou play?"

"Well, this is indeed a good idea. Although this kid's cultivation is a bit low, he is unmatched in poetry. Maybe he can really turn the tide!" The old man frowned and thought at first, then his worried look disappeared, and he immediately called a teacher and began to give instructions in a low voice.

Besides, Gu Yunzhou was standing in the crowd at the moment, frowning and listening to Sun Zening's arrogant words, which became more and more outrageous. This guy was the most shameless villain that Gu Yunzhou wanted to beat up the most in his life.

"It seems I had too high expectations for Jinzhou County. I thought there would be many powerful people here, but I didn't expect that such a magnificent city like Jinzhou County couldn't even find a rival who could compete with me! Where are the people from Bailu Academy, Qingshan Academy, and Caotang Academy? Are all these academies cowards?"

Sun Zening continued gloating, his gaze sweeping across the crowd, scorn etched in his eyes. "As for the Academy of Literature... haha, they've actually become cowards, daring not to challenge me. But then again, I wonder if any of you, from the four major academies, have any outstanding students?"

Sun Zening's words caused a burst of laughter from his followers. He looked around at the people around him with a smug look, as if he had already won. However, he did not notice that Gu Yunzhou in the crowd was clenching his fists tightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

I have tolerated you for a long time. Since you are so confident, you must not be afraid of being slapped in the face.

Just as Gu Yunzhou was about to walk out, Sun Zening suddenly changed the subject and turned the conversation to him.

"I heard there's a guy in your Jinzhou County who's stirred the hearts of heaven and earth. What's his name? Gu Yunzhou, right? In my opinion, he's just a fraud. I heard his father died early and he only has a widowed mother. He was raised under the protection of the Gu family."

"He received the kindness of the Gu family, but he forced both the father and son to death. Even if the Gu family father and son were wrong, they should not have acted like this. If it weren't for the Gu family's enlightenment, how could a poor boy like him have written poems that could protect the country?"

"I think this man has nothing to recommend him except his poetry. Although I believe in the absolute fairness of heaven and earth, heaven is ruthless, but people are kind. I really don't know why such a cold-hearted person is still praised so highly!"

Seeing that no one stood up to challenge him, Sun Zening felt both complacent and anxious for a moment. It seemed that he was too eager. None of these guys dared to come up now. Jinzhou County was his last stop. According to his plan, once he had accumulated enough remaining reputation in Jinzhou County, he could directly try to build momentum.

But now no one responded, so he frowned and simply set his sights on Gu Yunzhou again.

In fact, before entering Jinzhou County, he had investigated Gu Yunzhou. The more he investigated, the more frightened and greedy he became.

What is surprising is that this person is already quite talented at such a young age, and has even become famous in the Holy Land of Books.

If he could be defeated, the reputation he would gain would surely be unique. After all, this was the person who opened the world to ask his conscience again after more than a hundred years.

But he was not completely sure that he could defeat him. He was not afraid of anything else, but if it was a competition of poetry, Gu Yunzhou's talent and fame had spread throughout the Ten Kingdoms. No matter how arrogant he was, he did not have the confidence to pat his chest and say that he could beat him.

So his eyes rolled and the scene just now came to mind. He was still coveting the reputation. As long as Gu Yunzhou didn't compete with him in poetry, he could easily handle everything else.

"I didn't know the Tianyuan Sun family had such a gossipy woman. Why haven't you gone to the Imperial Capital to challenge the talented people there? Perhaps you know your own limitations and are deliberately avoiding us and heading towards a place far away from Tianyuan County?"

Gu Yunzhou pushed through the crowd and walked out. He was such a good person, why did he find a mouth? The teacher who was originally sent by Principal Yuan to find Gu Yunzhou was just one step slower and only saw the other party walking leisurely.

"Forget it, I have completed the dean's instructions. But I didn't expect that this kid is Gu Zhenguo. No wonder so many people came to listen to his poetry lectures. It seems that my information is out of date!" The teacher shook his head and said no more, watching Gu Yunzhou walk to the opposite side of Sun Zening.

"You are looking for death. How dare you insult my Sun family!" Sun Zening stopped sitting leisurely, stood up suddenly and stared at Gu Yunzhou who was walking slowly towards him.

"Tsk, how many bowls of rice did you eat at noon? You are so arrogant. I'm talking about you personally. Don't make a big deal out of it. How can you be allowed to talk nonsense here but others are not allowed to block the pit?" Gu Yunzhou walked to the opposite side of Sun Zening nonchalantly, with a sincere expression on his face.

"I'm going to kill you! You dare to insult me? I'm going to pull out your tongue and make you kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize!" If looks could kill, Gu Yunzhou would have died several times by now.
