I have Sharingan in another world

Chapter 37 Heavenly Star Emperor

This time, Prince Qishun did not come. Instead, Emperor Tianxing was accompanied by two princes: the Second Prince Li Yeqiong and the Fifth Prince Li Yehua, who had spent some time in Qingye City. Emperor Tianxing took the main seat, and the two princes stood beside him with their hands at their sides.

The martial arts masters were slightly taken aback when they saw Emperor Tianxing. Although they were somewhat disgusted by Tianxing's actions on the stage because of the Qingye City incident, they still bowed to Emperor Tianxing and took their seats.

"Wow, I didn't expect even the Sage of Calligraphy, Shu Daozi, to be here today! It's said that he was once Emperor Tianxing's mentor!"

"I wonder if the rumors are true or false, wow..."

Before the student could finish speaking, Tianxing Emperor respectfully greeted Shudaozi, the disciple, with the power of a master, saying, "Greetings, Teacher!"

The surrounding area erupted in an uproar. The deans of the various departments of Luoshen Academy were all incredibly capable, having even managed to invite the Imperial Tutor.

As the invited experts took their seats, the Moon Festival's moon-viewing poetry gathering was about to begin. Tonight, the moon hung high in the sky like a giant jade plate.

clang clang clang...

With the sound of a huge bell, the Moon Festival Poetry Gathering truly began, and the contestants took to the stage one by one, including Zhou Shu and Huangfu Chen, who were forced to participate.

Upon ascending the throne, one would naturally need to pay homage to the Heavenly Star Emperor as a subject. However, Zhou Shu's knees simply wouldn't bend towards the Heavenly Star Emperor. Not only Zhou Shu, but most of the young masters from the Luo City aristocratic families also refrained from bowing to the Heavenly Star Emperor, making Zhou Shu's behavior seem less conspicuous.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Star Emperor on the stage smiled indifferently and said, "Fellow students, there is no need for such formalities. Today is the Moon Festival, so there is no need to care about those complicated rituals."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

"Today is the Moon Festival, and the Luo Shen Academy is holding such a grand poetry gathering. I have specially prepared a few prizes for the literary champion of this Moon Festival poetry gathering!"

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Tianxing brought up several items. The moment the boxes were opened, the students present all gaped in astonishment. No one had expected that Emperor Tianxing would prepare such a precious item as a prize for this poetry competition!

"This...this is Celestial Coral? This kind of treasure is a divine object that can help a fourth-rank expert advance to the third rank..."

"Look, look, they even have the royal body-refining secret, the Nine-Refining Heavenly Star Technique!"

"No way, this manual is far more valuable than the Celestial Coral..."

"You're completely ignorant. If you use the Nine-Stage Heavenly Star Technique in conjunction with the Heavenly Star Coral, the power of the Heavenly Star Body will be even greater!"

"What a pity! I wish I had participated in the Moon Festival poetry gathering this year!"

"Forget it, the two most famous talents in the academy, Ming Hui and Lu Xingjian, are both participating today. Maybe His Majesty prepared a lucky draw for them."

...

Seeing that the Heavenly Star Emperor was going to such lengths as to offer such a grand prize for the literary champion, if everyone had been informed in advance, some people probably would have resorted to underhanded tactics long ago.

Huangfu Chen whispered to Zhou, "Brother Zhou, this Nine-Stage Heavenly Star Technique is the most profound of the body tempering methods. Now that your strength has reached 80 jin, if you cultivate this method, I'm afraid no one below the third rank will be your match!"

Zhou Shu glanced at Huangfu Chen speechlessly, as if he was certain he would win the literary crown.

Seeing Zhou Shu's expression, Huangfu Chen chuckled and said, "Brother Zhou, it's impossible for me to win the literary championship. I know you have literary talent, but back when you were working as a security guard at Tiger Roaring Mountain, how could someone without literary talent write such verses about the Eight Honors and Eight Shames!"

"I..." Zhou Shu was speechless after Huangfu Chen's retort. How could the Eight Honors and Eight Shames be the same as writing poetry?

At this moment, a senior female student from the college went on stage to register. Dressed in white, she looked like Chang'e descending to earth, captivating the surrounding boys.

"Wow, as expected of Senior Sister Gu Xiyan, she's like a fairy descended from heaven."

After Gu Xiyan went on stage and bowed to Emperor Tianxing, she turned around and smiled, saying, "Those who are participating in this poetry competition are all the best students from each class. This time, you will draw the theme of your poem from a box on stage. Does anyone have any objections?"

Everyone nodded. The young people who were originally reluctant to participate in this poetry gathering were all eager to try their luck from the moment Emperor Tianxing announced the prize.

Gu Xiyan glanced at the boys and smiled, "Who wants to go first!"

A handsome young man in a sky-blue robe stepped forward with a smile and said to the seniors on the stage and Gu Xiyan, "I am Mingxing Hui, and I will now offer my humble opinion as a starting point."

Mingxing Hui reached into the box, his originally smiling cheeks flushed slightly with excitement, presumably because he had drawn the poem theme he had prepared.

Everyone nodded in agreement. This celebrity, Hui, already had a considerable reputation at Luo Shen Academy. Seeing him being the first to step forward, his courage alone was commendable.

Mingxing Hui drew the theme of reunion, so he composed a five-character poem about reunion about the moon. Since Mingxing Hui had already prepared it carefully, it was naturally quite remarkable and drew praise from everyone.

The calligrapher Liu Daozi and the painter Liu Daozi, who were on stage, also offered their comments, which drew envy from the crowd.

Although the Sage of Painting and the Sage of Calligraphy are called sages in the fields of painting and calligraphy, their talents in poetry and prose can be said to be among the best in the Spirit Pattern Continent. Even the Heavenly Star Emperor can be regarded as a junior in front of them.

With Mingxing Hui setting a good example, the students who followed also did their best. Even if they couldn't become the top scholar, having the comments of the Sage of Calligraphy and the Sage of Painting would be good enough.

Time passed slowly, and the students in the academy produced many excellent poems.

Zhou Shu secretly praised it, thinking that it was indeed Luoshen Academy. In this continent where strength is respected, he did not expect that there would be so many students studying poetry.

Next, Lu Xingjian took the stage and recited a love poem about the moon, which made the women in the audience scream and exclaim that Lu Xingjian was so handsome!

All the students had already finished their poems, and even Huangfu Chen had written one. Although it wasn't as good as Mingxing Hui or Lu Xingjian, it still received comments from the poetry experts sitting on the stage.

Seeing that Zhou Shu didn't seem inclined to draw a question, Gu Xiyan thought he had forgotten and reminded him, "It's your turn, student."

Li Yehua on the stage was pleasantly surprised to see Zhou Shu. He hadn't expected to meet an old friend from Qingye City at Luoshen Academy. He was about to greet him, but then he remembered that his father was still there, so he stopped himself from speaking.

Zhou Shu felt the gaze directed at him by Li Yehua, and his expression darkened. He stepped forward and pulled out his test questions.

"It's a frontier poem!"

The crowd erupted in an uproar. Except for Huangfu Chen, all the young men on the stage chuckled. They hadn't expected anyone to be so unlucky as to draw a frontier poem.
